Chain Bridge.

Tho House District committee has
favorably reported a bill for an investi-
CATION of the Chain bridge, with a view
to its replacement by a new structure.
This old bridge has for a long time
been under some question as to sta.
bility and suficiency. It is highly i'm
portant that it be replaced if there is
any doubt of its adequacy. In view Of
the length of time required to obtain
provision for a replacement Of the
Aqueduct bridge by a modern, safe
structure, it is well to start at the
earliest possible moment to obtain a
substitute for the upper viaduct, which
serves q large area with convenient
means Of crossing the river. There
should be no bridges in this District
that are not definitely sound. The
Chain bridge has withstood many
freshets and much pressure from ice.
It was built, however, at time when
bridgemaking was not as we'll ad-
vanced as today, and there are fears
that the repeated assaults upon its
abutments when the river has brought
down immense quantities of. ice have
weakened the piers to the possible dan
ger point. With the growth of the Dis
trict population and the development
of the suburban area in Virginia this
bridge will come steadily into heavier
use.

West Virginia Pays Its Debt.

A long drawn out case was yesterday
wiped from the docket of the Supreme
Court of the United States when it
was announ ed that the judgment
against West Virginia for its share of
the old debt of the mother state of Nir
ginia had been finally paid. This mat
ter has been pending for over fifty
years. West Virginia separated from
Virginia early in the civil war, and
was admitted as state in the Union
July 9, 1868. 1t was claimed by Vir-
ginia that the new state should bear
its ratio of the debt of the common
wealth, but this claim was resisted by
West Virginia until some years ago the
Supreme Court ruled that the latter
state should pay and commission was
named to determine the amount. The
actual suit was filed in 1906 and nine
years later the court awarded judg-
ment to Virginia of $l2,393,000. An
nouncement has just been made to the
court that the last installment of this
debt has been paid, and this famous
case has thus, at last, been closed.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Innocent Stranger.

The Innocent Stranger.
Somewhere on the map there are coun.
tries, we know,
Where English is not understood:
It's there that some statesmen are
longing to go
For the kind of rest that does good
Men might talk of treaties in erudite
style,
And of other great problems in hand
An innocent stranger could hear with
smile
The things he does not understand
No doubt there would be in each town
that he struck
Some local dissensions acute;
No doubt profiteers would be pressing
their luck
Mongst threats of some shortage
acute.
A hubbub there'd be about hasheesh O,
rum,
Or mutiny 'gainst all command.
The innocent stranger may let the
world hum,
Because he does not understand.

Red Literature.

A Jersey City judge has ruled that
the finding of cred" literature in a
persons home is not proof that the
owner is an extremist. He gave this
opinion in the course Of the trial of
a man indicted under the state sedition
law, the prosecution having attempted
to put in evidence radical prints found
on his premises. Probably the ruling
is entirely fair. Many people, as the
judge declared, have copies of radical
pamphlets and leaflets and periodicals
in their possession who are unalterably
opposed to the doctrines they set forth.
It is, indeed, we'll that these printed
materials be studied by the people
generally, to know what is being
preached by the radicals, what projects
are being propagated, and thus meas
ure the menace to American institu-
tions involved in this agitation.
Assuredly, however, possession of
such materials should be considered in
connection with words and actions in
dicative of seditious tendency. If a
man is heard to speak disparagingly Of
the American form Of government and
in proposal Of radical changes or the
employment Of force, and is known to
be a student of literature of this char
acter the conclusion is direct that he
belongs in the class of violent reac-
tionaries.
It would, perhaps, be we'll for all
who have printed matter of this kind
in their possession to stamp it in some
way with marks of their disapproval.
Even this, however, might be camou-
fage. The surest course of safety is
for the citizen to abstain from violent
speech and from questionable associa-
ton, and to be vigorous and active in
demonstrating soundness in adherence
to and support Of the government.

If this should prove true, the south
will benefit. If it has become neces-

enunciation of party principles and the
selection Of party leaders she may hope

is made. Among her sons are some
very capable men. She is the main
stay of the party. Without her cleo
toral votes no democratic candidate
would have the ghost Of chance at
the presidency. She furnished the bulk
of the votes that elected Mr.. Cleve-
land twice and Mr. Wilson twice; and
unless she stands firm this year, as in
former years, the San Francisco nomi-
nee will hardly be in the running.
This development in the south is
very interesting feature of very in
teresting general situation, and is Civ
ing the party managers something out
of the usual to think about. How they
deal with it when the time comes will
be worthy Of analysis.

No Strikes "for the Present."

Decision has been reached by the
railroad brotherhoods to give the new
law governing the return of the lines
to private ownership a fair trial and
to abstain from strikes "for the pres
ent.' This is a wise move, calculated
to improve the position of the working
men in the political campaign they are
preparing to undertake. They started
out in hostility to the legislation that
was enacted and sought its defeat
through veto, after failing in the House
and Senate. The veto was denied and
the bill was signed. Mr.. Gompers has
announced that there will be no ap-
peal to court and the brotherhoods
have declared that there will no strikes
"for the present" Thus the law is
to be put on its merits. The railroads
are to be allowed to develop their re-

Politics in the South.

Commotion in democratic circles ex-
lists in several southern states. Fac
tionism is raging. Retired politicians
are re entering politics. Men who
have never quilted the game are play
ing it with greater zest than ever. The
leaders are busy, and the rank and file
stirred up as seldom before.
1t is all along of the administration.
Men who stand by the President are
standing BY him stoutly. Men against
him are opposing him stoutly. There
are no conservatives. After taking
sides, men become hundred per cent
supporters of their side.
Some of the gossip growing out of
the situation has it that these shindies
will have an effect on the November
polling; that the faction that loses will
either sulk on election day, or throw its
strength to the republicans and there
by turn over those states to the Chi.
eago ticket.
Ordinarily, there would not be mo-
Rents consideration given to such an
lppraisement of the matter. In none
Of the lower southern states has there
been for years more than a skeleton
organization calling itself republican
The democratic party has practically
been unchallenged in that whole sec,
tion of the country. A nomination
has been equivalent to election. The
party label alone has been sufficient to
secure success at the polls.
But these times are so extraordinary

and so many impend-ean it be, people
are asking themselves. that an over

sumption Of control without the handi-
cap Of labor troubles. This does not
signify that labor has weakened in its
demand for naturalization of the
transport system. 1t will still go out
after the election of Congress favor
able to that policy, and to the degree
that it is true to the pledge now given
to give the law fair chance to demon
strate its effectiveness and fairness it
will secure hearing by the electorate.
Without doubt the position of the
brotherhoods to abstain from strikes
will serve to steady conditions and to
allay apprehension of financial dis
turbance in this country. A general
tie-up of the railroad lines by strikes
might precipitate one of the greatest
disasters ever suffered here.

Courage and Legislation.

Senators and representatives who
favored the Cummins-Esch railroad
measure voted for it in the face of a
threat of opposition at the polls. 1t
was a praiseworthy exhibition Of cour-
age. Legislation on the subject was
necessary. The time approached when
the roads were to be returned to their
owners, and the terms must be pre-
scribed by Congress. Here was the
measure prescribing the terms. They
had examined it, and, as it stood, ap-
proved of it. 1t probably did not suit
any of them entirely. But they ac-
cepted it as, in the main, fair at
tempt at meeting the emergency.
The threat made cannot be executed
until November, which is eight months
away. Will it be executed thenf
The law goes into effect at once. 1t
has the good wishes of the whole busi-
ness world. 1t ought to accomplish
much good. 1t is designed for that
purpose, and is in the hands of men
who know how much depends upon its
success in operation.
Suppose success is achieved. Suppose
the law in operation accomplishes what
has been promised and vowed in its
name. Suppose any differences that
may arise between employers and en-
ployes are satisfactorily settled, and
railroad transportation shows an i'm
provement over previous records. In
a word, suppose the legislators respon-
sible for the law are justified by it.
Will those who opposed its enactment
east their votes against the legislators
who believed in the measure and had
the courage of their belief when called
upon to pass upon it, Should they not
show courage, too, and confess their
mistake, and even vote for the men
they had threate.ed to vote againsti
Tne whole law cannot, Of course, be
tested In eight months. But certain

portant features. That is to say, they
can be adequately tested if the statute
is accepted by all in good faith, and
applied in spirit of fairness toward
all. The law is for all, not for few
not for the purpose of boosting divi-
dends at the expense of wages. nor
wages at the expense of dividends,
nor both dividends and wages at the
expense of the public.
In this case, as in every other, the
Law must be obeyed. 1t is entitled to
"a fair trial. It must stand or fall
on the record made in action. If the
record shows that it needs amending,
the regular process is known and must

vance that they will not obey q law, if
