sociation's committee on public service
corporations. was empowered further
to consider the general aspects OF the
street railway situation and to report
recomm endations at the next meeting
of the association.
President George A Finch declared
that the necessity was not SO much
for more cars on tho 18th street line
or other lines, but for greater de-
velopment of the local street railway
system in all directions. lengthwise
and crosswtse of the District.
President Finch expressed the opinion
that there will be cause for indigna-
ton against public abuses as long as
the people have no voice. He suggested

Fat America

Prosperity with us abides, and
wants to us unknown, while over
Europe's countrysides the hungry
people moan. For years poor Eu-
rope has been torn, has heard the
battle din, while we have planted
fields of corn, and borne the
harvest in. Privation has not
made US lank, no wolf is at our
door; we have our bundles in the
bank, and credit at the store. Our
tables spread, we sit thereat, and
costly joints we carve; and it is
shameful to be fat while wailing
millions starve. Oh, let US dis
cipline our souls, and far less
selfish be, and strip some will
liams from Our rolls, to send
across the sea. And when our
noble country calls for samples Of
long green, to purchase clubs and
cannon balls, or sink a submarine,
let's gladly, proudly flash our
wads, and loosen up like men; too
long our plunks have been our
gods, our shrine has been the yen.
America alone is fat and basking
in her grease; the nations have
been trampled fiat since Wilhelm
broke the peace. And while the
stricken nations toll in warfare,
lean and lame, and paint with
blood the riven soil, our fairness is
a shame. WALT MASON.
