PHILosoPHIc PATRIOTISM.

PHILOSOPHIC PATRIOTISM. -
Years ago when America was Amer
lea business was brisk and work plen-
tiful, no one had to work themselves
to death, and food, pure and sump-
tuous, could be bought for almost
half the price it can be bought for
now.
Both the employer and employe
then lived harmoniousIy, sharing
each others joys and sorrows. Now
these American principles have al
most entirely disappeared and our
once great and beloved constitution
is rapidly being torn into shreds.
America is now about the richest
country on the globe, so they say.
She is scheming to build the most
powerful navy and the greatest army
=. to protect her vast wealth and COM
merce instead of using the greatest
portion of that wealth to furnish
. work for those who helped build that
wealth.
What class of people inherit the
greatest portion of this vast wealth
we so arrogantly boast of having, the
honest plodding worker or the vain
and misguiding and scheming rich?
If the money we figure on loaning
the nations at war to prolong their
british slaughter was used for pub
lie improvement, such as fixing up
rivers, state roads, etc, it would be
fused to better advantage and the
many idle workers who helped to pro-
duce would be greatly benefited. as
well as others.
We wouldn't be benefting the peo-
pie of Europe by helping them pro-
long the war. Neither would we be
lbenefting the American people with

the exception of the few who have
taken upon themselves the liberties
they have no right to take, either by
laws of man or the divine laws of ma
ture.
Many a poor young fellow is fairly
ablaze with the desire to secure a
home, good wife and lasting life
of joy and of golden peace, but he
hasn't show. When he has not a
show we cannot expect him to thrive;
neither can we expect him to feel
eager to fight for a country which de-
MES him the right to earn himself a
decent home, little garden with sweet
scented flowers and security to main
tain them.
Wake up and make up, my coun-
try! Give the young a better chance
to gain home and sweet liberty. BY
the way, America, don't forget the in
dustrious old who, in their palmy
days, when America was America did
their honest share of the building Of
the world Let us have a govern
ment once again worth living and
fighting for. We won't be fighting
after the world gets to be worth hv-
ing and fighting for, Love balks war.
Cheer up, comrades. Something
better is on the way, so fill up on pa
tience and twist out an occasional
smile, though your stomach is empty
and your toys keep out of style. a
staunch American with a genuine
feeling for the good of America HUI
manity and the world is the American
like. Chorus:
Hail Columbia, happy land,
Where the devil are we going to land?
If we keep on going at the rate we do,
Well land with the devil in that hot
place, too.
If that isn't poetry it is neverthe-
less true and there's a sane meaning

ADVICE OF OUTSIDE
EXPERT DESIRABLE
Under conditions as they existed at
the time this paper decided to call in
MIR. E'!igus. 1t appeared unlikely that
tho ci;v would make sne appropriation
niece ssary for the employment of Il dis
interested expert West End interests
and the city at large were pressing for
an immediate adjustment of the Belt
Line controversy. While the street
Committee unotiicially approved the
idea o. calling in expert adviser,
and the press of the city practically
no step In this direction was taken or
seemed YQhablc to pe taken.
With this the state of affairs. The
Times Dispatch undertook to provide
the expert adviser that the city want
ed, but which there was no machinery
TO employ. II at once enlisted the aid
Of Mr. Wilgus. known wherever engi-
nccrs meet as an expert of the first
rank, who checrfully and promptly un-
dertook the task. IN his New York
office he made a study Of the several
plans suggested for the treatment of
the Sci, Line problem, and carly last
week he came to the city to make Il
personal inspection Of the situation.
EXAMINED PLANS on FILE

plans and elevations on file in the

city without having visited the Of
fees of Richmond, Frederick sburE and
Potomac Railroad Company.
Mr.. WilEus's conclusions as to the
Drope. manner of dealing with the
Belt J. inc situation carry the imprint
Of authority gained from a life work
devoted to engineering problems OF Il
simla.' nature. FOR fourteen years
Mr.. Wilgus was associated in direct
ing capacity with ;hc major engineer
ing operations of the New York Cen
trail ana Hudson River Railroad. AS
chief engineer and president OF
that system, he was III charge OF the
reconstruction and enlargement OF
terminals and bridges. including the
Initiation and construction of the Grand
Central Station in New York City.
Since 1908 he has been In private prac-
tice in New York.

CONCLUSION SIMILAR TO
VIEWS or HARRY FRAZIER
In the light OF recent progress OF
conferences between Henry =. Beck q,
the Administrative Board, and Consult
ing the railroad company. looking TO
the adoption OF mutually acceptable
plan which shall provide for 4 modified
depression OF the Belt Line tracks on
the lines suggested by the so-called
Myers plan, the conclusion reached bv
Mr. Wileus is particularly significant
, and valuable.
The new modified plan was presented
TO Mr.. Beck last week by Mr.. Frazier,
and was regarded by the latter as
promising enough to warrant consid-
GRAFTON at the hands Of the Street Com
mittec. Engineer Hankins OF the citv
forces. has been at work on drawings
illustrating Mr.. Frazier's suggestions.
| and these, together with a statement
of the new scheme. will be presented
to the committee tomorrow night
Inc Frazier plan. in general way
approximates the solution that is sug-
gested by Engineer Wilgus. The fact
that Mr. Frazier, who was formerly
chief engineer for the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company, and Mr.. Wilgus
had no conference, but pursued their
studies OH independent lines, renders
doubly significant the fact that they
have arrived at approximately the same
conclusions.
With both OF these engineers prac-
tically agreed as to the best plan for
dealing with the Belt Line difficulty-
ono of them, Mr.. Wilgus, disinterested
expert. with no personal interest In tho
ultimate solution---the committee will
have before il tomorrow night expert
advice the quality of which will be I'M
assailablc, and which Will probably
mean the early and prompt adjustment
OF the problem which has confronted
the city in the West End for the past
i've years.

vidcs for a depression of tracks at the
crossings OF al least twcntyfour feet.
To avoid a nondra ina BILE pocket this, in
turn, has necesstated the adoption OF
a southhound, continuously descending
gradient from point near the north
end Of the line all the way to the
James River. thereby reversing the
natural course of the drainage. with
cuttings OF over fifty feet In depth at
the summit, and entailing the rebuild
ing of the entire length of three miles
OF road at an excessive cost. More
over, the long gradient so imposed,
little over one inch per 100 feet is so
light that storm water and seepage
would drain away slugg ishly, and in
consequence induce slides and poor
track surface.
All of these disadvantages might be
more than offset by increased economy
Of operation of the railroad over the
reduced gradient. provided the volume
Of traffic and the length of the engine
runs so warranted, but this is under
stood not to be the case
