To Pave Water Street.

Another important project having
a direct bearing on the market situa-
tton is the proposed paving of Water
street, from 14th to 11th STREETS. This
will cost about $4,000. When COM
pleted, this paving will afford con-
tinuous travel to. the municipal mar
ket over asphalt surfaces. 1t is be-
lieved big increase in the trade t
this market, especially after the be-
ginning of the fall oyster season, will
result from the improvement.
The third most important street
item for which funds are available
is the proposed paving of Georgia
avenue. from Buchanan street to
Military road. The cost will be about
$4,000.
With the appropriation act in full
operation today following it's signing
yesterday by President Wilson, wheels
of the District government began to
grind in old time fashion.

Machines Were Meeting.

The accident is believed to have been
caused when the driver of the big
truck pulled off too far from the
bridge roadway to make room for
truck of the military police also head
ing for the camp. which was en-
deavoring to pass. and which, it ls
said. scraped the hubs of the first ma
chine in its effort to pass.
The truck crashed through the
causeway directly at the south end of
the bridge and tumbled into the water
below. The drop was only about four
feet, and the water is said to have
been less than four feet deep. The
heavy car turned completely over in
the fall. and ii is believed the men
met death almost instantly.
1t was announced at the camp today
that the drivers of the two trucks
have been placed under military ar
rest to await the outcome of the Of
fetal investigation being made under
the direction of Maj. Charles Marsh.

Deficiency Bill Beneficiaries.

The third deficiency bill. which like
wise has become law through the
Presidents signature, also stirred up
considerable activity at the District
building.
Longevity pay for school teachers
to the amount of $4,000 provided in
the deficiency measure is being dis
tributed. and about $4,000 worth of
debts contracted for maintenance at
the several District institutions, which
the deficiency act takes care of, are
being paid The accounts were held
mainly by local contractors.
The deficiency act takes care of for
mer employees of the District who were
granted judgments for back pay dur

been illegally discharged from the
service.

Views on Agricultural Bill.
IN regard to the agricultural bill
the President sent the following COM
arunication to the House of Repre-
= nta tiVeS:
Il take the liberty of returning H.
j.: 3l5s. an act making appropriations

Inc fiscal year ending June 80. 1920.

Jvpealed.
Foresees Economic Loss.
Il believe that the repeal of the act
occcrred TO would be of very great in
convenience to the country. and l
think that I am justified in saying
, tnat II would constitute something
more than an inconvenience. 1t would
involve serious economic loss. The
act of March 19. 1918, to save day
light resulted not only from a care
full study of industrial conditions by
competent men familiar with the bust
j ess operations of the country, but
also from observation of the happy
snd beneficial consequences of SINH
Tar legislation in other countries
Y here legislation of this character has
been for some time in operation and
!. where it has resulted. as the act of
March f9, 1918, has resulted. in the
United States, in substantial econo-
mics.
That act was intended to place the
chief business activities of the coun
Try as nearly as might be within the
limits of daylight throughout the
year. 1t resulted in very great econ
omies of fuel and in substantial econ
omy of energy. because of the very
different effect of work done in the
daylight and work done by artificial
light.
1T, moreover, served the daily con-
venience of the many communities of
the country in a way which gave all
but universal satisfaction. and the
overwhelming testimony of it's value
which has come to me convinces me
that j should not be justified in &C
quiescing in its repeal"

PROTECTING THE PUBLIC.

TIRE marshals all over the country
have learned that more than so per
cent of fires are due to such simple
and preventable causes as rubbish in
easements, improperly protected ash
cans, dust in garrets, stoves too near
woodwork, etc.
Fire prevention day which has been
observed in the schools to teach the
children and through them, their par
ents, the danger of fire hazards should
help in preventing vast economic loss.
Insurance companies through the
maintainance of rating bureaus have
done much to reduce hazards but any
organization however perfect must
have the operation of parties direct
ly affected to get the best result.
Rating bureaus which establish
rates for given territory based on
the fire risks involved, have added sta
bility to the fire insurance business in
doing away with special privileges and
cut rates given by competing companies
in order to get business regardless of
risks involved.
Thus the public is protected from an
eXorbitant rate which might be charged
in individual cases and it is also pre-
tected from q dangerously low rate
which might mean failure of insurance
companies in case Of a great conflagra-
ton.
Coupled with the work Of the rating
bureaus, the insurance companies are
enlarging their activities in the educa-
tional work of fire prevention and the
public in its own selfish interest
should cooperate in this work and
with the rating bureaus in every way
possible.

UNMIsTAkAeLE SIGNS OF WARN.
ING.

5FHAT crisis between law-abiding
Americans who are for country
Arst and last. and the radicals who
would change our present form Of
government for soviet or worse, is
rapidly approaching. is apparent from
such outbreaks as was witnessed on
Armistice Day at Centralia. Wash. The
people as mass are slow to move but
when they eventually do they are likely
to pulverize the !. w. W.. and
similar disloyal organizations.
We can only express the hope that it
win not take some great catastrophe,
costing many more lives. to do this.
Surely the public's conscience must be
awakened by this time to realization
of the anti government and traitorous
forces that are at work.
without question the Centralia cpl
sode win do mucl. toward opening the
eyes and ears of those who have been
blind and deaf to warnings that the
country is in danger. On Armistice
Day at that place, agents of the l. w.
w. deliberately killed four ex-service
American Legion men as they were pa
rading in honor of the anniversary of
the signing OF the armistice. The
crime would have been bad enough at
any other time, but to shoot down men
Who fought for the honor of their coun-
try in the late war, is dastardly deed
that must not go unpublished. The
agencies OF the department of justice
should ferret out the guilty disloyal-
lists and impose upon them extreme
penalty without further ceremony.
We firmly believe, that the
ends of justice will be better and more
satisfactorily served IL the law is per-
United to take it's course. But the
prosecution of the criminals should be
Vigorous and stern. In the meantime
Che department Of justice should thor
'oughly probe the causes that led up
TO the shooting, ascertain from whom
the ]. w. WIS. responsible received
their instructions, ard also arrest
and punish the higher ups.

UP TO CONGRESS TO ACT.

|17HE renate committee which investi-
gated the causes that lead up to
the steel strike holds that it is the duty

here is no place in this country either
for industrial despotism or labor
