Railroad Electrification,

Plans are under consideration by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany for electrifying one of the long
and heavy grades Of it's line in the
Allegheny mountains. The electrical
ton Of mountain sections of line bids
fair to become popular form Of i'm.
provement with railroads, and where
electric locomotives have been put to
the work the reports indicate that
their performance has been satisfac-
tory and that a saving in the cost of
haul as well as in time Of transit has
resulted. The electrif1cation of those
sections Of steam road through what
may be called "commuter" territory
has gone far within a few years, and
large extensions Of this class Of serv-
ice will probably be made when the
railroads are once more ION their
feet" The Identification Of tunnels
and tubes has worked to the con-
venience Of passengers and to the
profit Of railroads and progress will
probably be noted in this direction
during the present and succeeding
generations.

Senator Lenroot.

A candidacy of national interest is
that of MIR. Lenroot for reelection.
The Wisconsin senator is the nominee
of his party, and as such entitled to
its full support. But the republicans
OF the Badger state are in q fierce
factional fight even in the presence OF
the common enemy, and one OF the
factions-the La Toilette faction-is
threatening Mr.. Lenroot with defeat.
1t has brought out candidate for
senator for the purpose OF dividing the
republican vote; and if 1t succeeds in
attracting sufficient support the demo-
cratic candidate will slip through.
Mr.. Lenroot has proved himself to
be an able and valuable man on Capt.
toll HILL AS a member Of the House
he attained prominence. and took a
place among his party's leaders in that
body. Both as committeeman and as
an all-around debater he made repu-
tation.
This service secured his promotion
to the Senate, and in the Senate he
has repeated his success in the House
He has taken a place among the lead
ers there: and in the debate on the
peace treaty he had much of interest
to say.
The contest for control of the Sen
ate is warm to a degree. The present
republican control is by so narrow a
margin-two notes.-the managers of
that party are striving with might and
main to increase the number. The
loss Of vote, therefore, might seri-
ously upset their calculations about
legislation. Among the questions com.
ing before the next Congress is that
Of the tariff, and Mr.. Lenroot is some
thing Of tariff authority.

But some lawless men in the cotton
states propose ku-kluxing the ques,

icy. Their idea Of meeting the issue
Is to strike terror into the hearts OF
the cotton.ginners by threatening de-
struction Of property. and destroying
property when disobeyed. They prefer
midnight, the mask and the torch to
calm consultation.
These brothers to the bomb throw
ers should be hunted down and prop
erly dealt with. At time when all
forms of business in all sections of
the country are rocking with uneasi,
ness and all men should put on their
thinking caps they put on their masks

Growth of the City.

The last piece OIL territory III lHe LIS
trict of Columbia passes from rural
mail delivery service to service by city
letter carrier. That is an announce
ment made by the city post office I'M
der authority of the Post Office De-
partment. The postal officials recognize
that the city Of Washington is prac-
tically as extensive as the District.
The growth of Washington has been
remarkable, and especially SO when one
keeps in mind that it is not in that
class of cities called industrial many
Of which have grown at faster pace
than the capital. OF course. Washing
ton is an industrial city, but its CHIEF
industry Is government and the main
industrial plants are government man.
ufactories of one kind and another.
Private industries show creditable
growth in the census reports and that
growth is obvious to all persons who
have lived here for any length OF time.
The increase in population has been
steady, and instead Of concentrating in
any section of the city, forming con-
gested quarters. it has spread itself
over the country. So that within a
generation nearly all the farm land Of
the District has become sites Of vii
lagos and suburban cottages and villas
The farm" has almost disappeared in
the District. If, the practical or work
ing population of Washington lived in
the District the whole OF the old fed
eral territory on the left bank Of the
Potomac would be crossed and re-
crossed by city streets solidly built up.
A large part of Washington's popula-
ton lives in Maryland and Virginia.
It has spread out beyond the present
boundary of the District and set up
towns, villages, hamlets and smaller
clusters Of homes south, east, north
and west Of the city twenty miles or
farther from the limits Of the District.
That section which was the Virginia
cession. on the right bank Of the Poto-
mac, has been built up in the same way,
and there south, southwest and west
the original District limits have been
outgrown.
Numerous factors have contributed
to this spread Of population. and each
man may place his own Interpretation
on the relative importance Of those
factors. One of them Is that large
numbers of men want to live in the
country or in villages where there is
a blend Of city and country life. They
do this sometimes because Of instinct.
Sometimes it is because they want the
pleasure and the responsibility of land,
garden and orchard. They want to get
away from the city for the children's
sake. Many go from the big town be-
cause they figure that they can live
better and cheaper.
Another factor is the electric rail-
way, which enables man to live ten
miles from his place Of work and make
the trip in the same time or in less
than could he who lived a mile away
in the age of horse cars or no cars at
all. There is also the automobile, which
enables the busy man to make his
home in a section Of the country un-
touched by the trolley.
1t is not far in the future when the
city Of Washington and the old coun'
| ty Of Washington will be settled over
with an almost equal density Of popu
lation and Maryland villages which to
- snC will
be merged in the great city.

PENSIONS ASKED
FOR OLD EMPLOYEES
Senator Smith Appeals To President
Wilson. Applies To Unclassffied.

United States Senator John Wal
ter Smith, sent letter yesterday to
President Wilson urging him to in
clude in the beneficiaries of the re-
tirement act men in the unclassified
service of the government who, I'M
der the provisions of the law, would
not be entitled to pension even
though they had served for, a peiod
of Is years prior to their reaching
the age limit.
The senator said there were quite
number of worthy. persons who
would be thrown on their resources
! after having faithfully served the
government for Is years or more
His object is to have these put on
plane with those who are FORUM
ate enough to be in the classified SER
vice.
The letter reads as follows:
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, the Presi-
dent, the White House, Washing
ton, D. c..
NY Dear Mr.. President: You are,
of course, aware that under the bill
recently passed by Congress for the
retirement of government employees
who have become superannuated that
unclassified employees under the pres
ent existing conditions are ineligible
for the benefits conferred by this
law The hardship which this stu
alton imposes is no doubt felt
throughout all branches of the gov
