A Subway as a Solution.

Arguments before the Public Ctili-
ties Commission yesterday on the sub
ject of the proposed Capital Traction
extension through 18th street devel-
oped clearly two facts: That additional
tracks are necessary to relieve the con-
gestion on the existing north-and-south
lines, and that no street can be chosen
for this additional service without
causing hardship to the property OWL
ers along it. Whether 18th or 18th
/: is selected, it will be really too mar
row for a double track. Widening of
the street is expensive and injurious
to the adjacent. property. One plan
is for single.aack line all through
18th street, which would imply the use
Of 14th for the return Of the cars.
thus being only partial relief Of the
now congested tracks on that street.
Taken from any angle. therefore,
this problem is difficult Of solution.
There is, however, one remedy that
was long ago proposed and may now
prove to be the only remedy. That
Is a subway from the northern heights
Of the city to the center OF town, serv.
ing as a general route for the tracks
of both systems for express and local
traffic. Ten years ago. at least. the
subway plan was broached, but it was
then regarded as involving too great
an expense, Probably il built now,
with costs of construction SO high, it
would be an undue weight upon the
city or the companies. But costs are
fSiiing and will doubtless be much
lower than at present by the time the
work Is undertaken il the project is
authorized now.
Experience in other cities is that
subways are the only assured means
Of alleviating surface congestion. II
properly designed and built an under.
ground route can accommodate the
major part Of the traffic and permit
expansion. In many cities the to-
pography works against effective sub.
way construction. In Washington the
conditions are good. The ground rises
away. from the center Of the traffic.
Sufficient depth can thus be gained at
all points in an underground construc.
ton designed to lessen the pressure
on the surface lines.
/. :. The more these matters are studied
and the larger grows the volume of
traffic and the population Of the Dis
trict, the clearer it becomes that soon.
er or later a subway must be built
here. Why not begin now to work
out plan to that end, SO that by an
other FIVE years the work itself may
be started and perhaps in a decade

The Republican Responsibility.

Those democrats who in their hopes
and plans about coming back are rely
ing on divisions among tho republicans
should not rely too fiuentiy or too
vociferously. I'm vain Is the net
spread in the sight Of any bird" "The
watched pot never boils." Never
hunt ducks with a brass band" And
then some.
Divisions may come. 1t will be sur
prising il they do not. The victory
was not OF the partisan variety. Great
numbers Of democrats united with the
republicans in putting an end to VIII
sonism. They gave as their reason
their conviction that wisconsin did
not represent genuine democracy.
But as the victory was achieved Ga-
der their leadership. the republicans
are charged with garnering the fruits.
They must exert themselves to pre-.
vent divisions-must take counsel of
their associates, and, If possible, hold
them in the bonds of co-operstio4.
At any rate. they must try to. stand
tOgether themselves. ~
They have had a sad and vivid ex.
perience OF divisions. They divided
in 1910. and the democrats carried the
House by very large majority. They
divided in 1912. and the democrats car.
ried both Congress and the presidency.
They are really responsible for VII
sonism; and IT has taken them eight
years to write finis to IT,.
II with such experience, and with
the knowledge that their opponents
are counting on a revival aof their
cantankerousness. the republicans d.
vide again. and especially in the face
OF such duty as now exists, they will
deserve whatever punishment fate
metes out to them.

A lovely disposition is thing to be
admired.
But most OF those who manage to
possess one
Appear to have the things in life
which are to be desired.
And to dwell apart from matters
which distress one.
But when the landlord tells you that
the rent will rise some more.
Though the shack is in very bad
condition:
When your coal pile is depleted till,

Three Hundred Years.

Tonight Washington will conduct its
chief outdoor celebration of the Pill
grim tercentenary. It will consist
Of a torchlight parade with pageant
features. As the plans run it will be
a brilliant spectacle, vividly bringing
to the minds and eyes Of the people of
the capital the significance of this an
niversary.
It Is wen to be thus reminded of the
beginnings Of settlement on these
shores. This country has developed
so marvelously, in SO many ways, SO
Unexpectedly. that it is hard to recall
the conditions Of the first steps toward
freedom. When the Pilgrims reached
Plymouth Rock they had no idea. of
what lay beyond the great forests that
masked the interior Of the new land.
They had no thought Of the mighty
rivers, Of the fertile plains, Of the
riches Of mineral wealth. They could
not visualize all that vast expanse that
was to them wilderness, transformed
into a region of cities and towns and
farms and mills. the waters covered
with craft and the land itself criss.
crossed by railroads.
To those Pilgrims who landed three
hundred years ago there were two
ways Of getting from point to point,
by slow sailing ships over the sea and
by horse-drawn vehicles or horseback
over the land. Plymouthtown was for
the present their world. Could one OF
those first comers have conceived the
idea Of the great city that was even
tually to rise within few miles Of
the landing place he would have deem
ed himself prophet inspired. The
journey from the landing point to
that city site was then a serious un.
dertaking.
Tonight this pageant will proceed
on floats, many Of which are moved
by motors. Had motor car such as
these drawn up by the landing point at
Plymouth 800 years ago and asked for
passengers doubtless the sturdy Pill
Srims would have fed back to the
alayfower and recrossed the Atlantic
in dismay. fearing the land of such
unholy horrors. Nothing can more
definitely illustrate the material de-
velopment Of these 800 years than the
gliding machines that silently bear
the spectacles before the eyes Of the
people tonight.
But after all the question comes:
Are we better for these things that
have been created and invented and
perfected in the. 800 years since the,
Pilgrims landed? We are II Bigger
country, more numerous people.
richer, and we ought to be happier.
We have better opportunities for ad-
vancement. better facilities for learn
ing. wider freedom than the Puri-
tans sought or permitted. 1t is for
US now at this time of celebration to
appreciate the advantages that have
come to us through the enterprise and
the sacrifices Of those who have gone
before and who have made this land
a place of plenty and prosperity and
