LIGHTING FOURTEENTH STREET

Hundreds Of residents Of Column
bia Heights and Mt. Pleasant will
heartily indorse the efforts Of the
Fourteenth Street Business Mems
Association to get better lighting on
upper Fourteenth street.
Washington has developed num-
Der of community business streets,
along which are retail stores, shops
Of all kinds, and motion picture
houses. One Of the most thriving
sections Of this kind is Fourteenth
street. Yet the lighting Of that
thoroughfare is far behind that Of
other streets used for similar pur-
pose.
The association is planning to pre-
sent It's plea for adequate illumina-
ton to the Commissioners. The need
probably will be recognized, as It
was only recently in Pennsylvania

Il that Fourteenth street has not
been provided with ample light long
ago.

LOCAL INCOME TAX COLLEC-
TONS

The income tax collections for this
year In the district of which Wash
ington is a part are going to show
the most astonishing increase. Last
year $1,s93,610 was paid over by
those fortunates whose incomes were
large enough to be taxed. This year
Collector Miles counts upon collect
ing $4,334,0 900 and If the rate of in
crease prevails all over the country
the Federal Treasury will have some
Of its problems removed. The first
impression might be that a greatly
increased number of taxpayers
served to swell the receipts. This,
however, is not true. There are rela-
lively few additions to the number
but there evidently has been very
large addition to the incomes. This
would evidence highly satisfactory
business condition in the territory
which comprises the State of Mary.
land, the District of Columbia, the
State Of Delaware, and two counties
on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

DRAFTING A PRESIDENT

An enthusiastic reader Of these
columns asks that we say something
regarding the calling of a member of
the Supreme Bench to be a candidate
for the Presidency.
The Democrats grasping at straws
are attempting to give great import
ance to this alleged improperly. The
history of political candidacy the
country over has included hundreds
Of names of men drawn from all di-
visions Of the courts. The Demo-
Gratis themselves have not hesitated
in making these demands on mem.
bers of their party, and the striking

TnR NEW FRENCH GUNS

The French war department Is
outdoing all the other belligerents in
the designing and making Of big
guns. A French officer has just
given out the information that two
guns are about to be completed and
baptized at Verdun with bore Of
500 millimetres or 1889 inches. This
would mean that the diameter Of the
projectile will be about the same
as the length Of a column Of The

THE DEMOCRATIC MEMORY

Keynoter No. 1 Of the Democratic
convention, Governor Glynn, Of New
York, during one Of his caroling
flights sang this sweet note:
When a hundred years look back
4 upon this gathering of today, when
we who guard the ark Of American
covenant have become nothing but a
memory and name. the principles
for which we declare In this con-
vention, the issues for which we
fight In this campaign. will live In
the lives of generations of Ameri-
cans yet unborn.
Hurrah for the Democratic men,
DRY! It is on the mend. A hundred
years from now 1t will be all right.
Just at present It can't remember
one twenty-fifth Of that time. It has
lost all recollection that four years
ago 1t pledged itself to a one-term
Presidential limitation. However,
the American public's memory ID
more dependable and for what was
pledged then and for what has hap
pened since it will see that only one
term is served.
