 He asked that money rather than food or supplies be sent to Irish suf- ferers and requested the committee to consider reconstructing public build ings in Ireland.

or nearly one-half, goes for Service" This

of it is unnecessary, being. however, the result OF
demand charged to the consumer in its inception
but usually due to the trader seeking business
through visualized attractions.
Mr.. Anderson divides the dollar paid as repre-

it may be provided for them by the capital of
others, not alone for them, but for all who would
use it. 1t should be only for distribution and not
for trading. Mr.. Anderson has done much for the
farmers, and is better equipped to under
take this service the need of which his report so
plainly emphasizes.

Protecting the Philippines.

livery American he thinks of Japans navy,
thinks also of the Philippines. These islands
close to Japan and SO far from the United
States it has been the general belief that in case
of war with Japan would have to fight it out
on that side in and around the Philippines. The
average citizen has believed and been permitted to
believe that Japan could quickly and quite easily
overwhelm the meagre defenses there, and take
possession.
1t would then be the American task to defeat
the Japanese navy a preliminary to the recap
ture of the Islands and this without a Hawaiian
base, those islands, at the same time as the
Philippines, would be taken by the army of Jap
veterans who there disguised aborers. This
is not pleasing picture and has been sort of
nightmare, most useful in promoting an American
navy at least double the strength of that of Japan
But Rear Admiral Fiske, of this country's
foremost naval authorities, if not the foremost
somewhat ghtens it. He says that force of but
around 100 airplanes in the island of Luzon could
effectively protect the Philippines from attack from
the sea by any landing force. If Japan undertook
to meet this by like force, these would have to
come mother ships or from Formosa base 1t
would then be but necessary to increase the pro-
tectng force In other words, airplanes, whether
they can or cannot destroy navies effectively
prevent the landing of troons any coast
Vice Admiral Kerr. of the British navy, goes
even further and says any fleet attacking the Phil
ippines could be destroyed from the air and that
it will never be necessary for the United States to
send naval fleet to defend them, or recapture
them. Incidentally if this is true, the of one
battleshp or battle cruiser of the first class would

view of the country and transact business, there
are no tales of these, or others. doing this at

TO the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In reading descriptions and his
tories Of Modern Science" I have
noticed contradictions that dis
prove various accepted explanations
of laws governing the phenomena
OF this planet. One is Isaac New
tons law of gravity in which it is
related that bodies are drawn
earthward by a force thus prevent
Ing them from flying of into space,
According to this EXPLANATION q
body weighing 500 pounds would
need a much stronger force exerted
to pull 1t earthward while a small
body would be less attracted. There
fore the larger body should fall to
earth the faster.
Galileo, in the sixteenth century,
discovered and proved that two
bodies of different weights. each
heavy enough TO overcome air re-
sistance. would travel earthward
at the same rate of speed. Now,
~ loaf of bread and a metal of
the same size be released to fall to
the ground, the metal will fall the
faster on account of the bread be-
ing pervaded with air cells while
the metal is a solid mass. But IL a
ten-pound ball of lead and one
weighing 500 pounds be put to a
similar test they will both fall side
by side, through space, and strike
the ground at the same time. The
explanation for this might be that
gravity effects masses in exerting
a proportionate pull according to
the size of the object but to be
thus, an upward force would also
have to be present to retard the
falling OF the heavier weight.

Fares in Utica.

THE street railway company of Utica, N. Y,
i asked increase OF fare. This refused
by the local authorities and the company appealed
10 the State public service commission. The people
OF the District OF Columbia will be interested in
the decision OF the commission which, in refusing
the request, said:
Public utilities, just as other departments
OF business, must expect to cope with periods
OF depression and short earnings. just as at
other times they enjoy periods OF prosperity and
full dividends. If the public is expected to make
up every deficiency in order to give a utility
good round rate of earning power then the
public is entitled the benefit of the surplus
over the agreed earning rate in times of pros
perity. ....
The Utica company had been granted an in
crease to cents and was asking for what was
called utterly extravagant' rate of 10 cents
Evidently the commission had little patience with
the usual plaint that the public having taken over
control rates, and regulation of service lowed"
the company assurance of fixed dividends II
was held that the company must use such econ
omies, such improvements and management as to
meet changed Conditions.
This is the position taken by The Herald as
to the District street railways. The day has past
when utilities companies capitalize their bank
ruptcies, their, financial follies and their exploa-
gains, expecting the public to accept these as
a basis for rates and fares. They are no longer a
law unto themselves and must answer to the eco
nomic laws which govern other business enter
prises.

Thinks Bryan Misrepresented
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

10 the Editor, The Washington Herald:
So many people. either from lack
of time or general indifference, read
the headlines OF newspaper articles,
are impressed by them, and let il
go at that. that / feel compelled to
call your attention TO an article in
The Herald today headed Bryan
Crazy. Eirge Rctorts." Now. for the
reason above given. IL people gem
orally read the contents Of. an arti-
Gle rather than the headlines. this
communication would not be neces-
sary. But why do headline writers
seek to constantly misrepresent
Bryan? Is il because they are di-
reCted to do so by their employers
or lose their jobs2 or are they so
prCjudiCed against a loser" that
they think it the popular thing to
run along with the crowd rather
than be the leaders of the people?
Quoting BirEe. he says: Bryan
is crazy. lie is seeking notoriety,
and / refuse to engage in a news
paper argument with him. No one
pays any attention to what he says,
anyhow" Bryan does not have to
seek notoriety-no man in the past
generation in this country has grs-
tuitously had more-but when he
mentions the name of Birge or any
one else it usually gives him a
newspaper or public prominence
which. otherwise, he never would
have had.
Whoever heard of Birge before,
at least in this part Of the country?
And whoever would have heard of
him until Bryan mentioned his name
in connection with a subject that
has engrossed the attention of the
human family since Christ came to
earth. The statement that no one
pays any attention to what he says,
anyhow" is about as far from the
truth as his other statements. For
the past twenty-five years. and as
late as last November NJ man has
as continuously beeh before the
public. and there Is no man whom
the people paid as much attention to
as the man whom he says mo one
pays any attention to anyhow" He
was so quiet during the last cam
paign that some 100000 people,
ticket. either didn't vote at all or
for the Republican candidate. This
is a patent fact, and the writer has
had as many unselfish and devoted
followers as had this man and still
has, because the people know and
believe that first of all he is un-
selfish, patriotic, courageous in his
beliefs and honest, which about
covers all that can he said of any
man. and history will SO record il.
Nine-tenths of the people, news
papers, headline writer's and others
who have presented and misrepre-
sented Bryan during the past twenty
five years, have done SO either
through gross ignorance on shrewd
selfshness, because the reforms
which he advocated for the general
good - and most OF them, despite
their opposition. are the laws of
the land today-to a greater or
lesser exten hurt their pocketbooks
and they were neither altruistic nor
patriotic enough to overlook the
hurt. He has compelled the preda-
tory money class Of this country to
pay its just share of taxation to
the government which fostered and
protected their interests. Possibly
you can't blame these people for
continually having a drudge which

Cites Monroe Doctrine.
W. J. DwYER

To the Editor. The washingtcn Herald:
l have seen more than once in
The Herald a statement that. first
Japan and last that England was
trying to acquire an island of the
coast OF Chile and Peru
In your announcement Of the
above fact one is rather surprised
that the important item of news is
treated in such a matter of fact
way-just as though this conti-
nent was wide open for any kind
of seizures OF islands and il islands,
why not any other part of the con-
tinent to the south of us?
Have you forgot, Mr.. Herald, that
we have a Monroe doctrine that
has. in a weak way il is true. pre-
vented any requisition of South
American territory?
Mr.. Cleveland made q monkey
show OF this dogma once and al
lowed England to walk on with a
slice of Venezuelan territory nearly
as large as Texas, but England's
finesse made him believe he was
actually saving the Monroe doctrine
whilst he was giving il away. He
died in that belief. That we have
a single vestige of that dogma left
is not because our apathy and
laissez faire mode of paying atten-
ticn TO anything but our political
fences and carrying the countE<'
but it's because we pay no atten-
tion to anything but politics; that's
our craze.
To calmly announce to this great
country that Japan and England
are both competitors for strategic
a.
without its firing our press with
indignation, but too forcibly illus
trates our supineness in anything
having important bearing upon the
integrity of this country of ours.
II we still have a Monroe doctrine,
not Japan nor England nor any
other nation on top of this earth
can acquire a square foot of South
American country, nor can Chile or
Peru transfer by sale or otherwise
any part of their countries to a
foreign power. il We have the
spirit we should have in enforcing
it. And IL we yield this in the in
stance before this nation I'VE repeat
the stupid blunder, in a new form,
committed by Mr.. Cleveland.
The Monroe doctrine was pro-
mulgated by this nation without
consulting a South American
country: it is our doctrine and its
terms are as binding upon South
America not to sell or cede in any
way part of their continent or an
atomy as il is a warning to Eu-
rope that they cannot acquire
either. Twist this matter as we
may. there is not a single particle
of doubt about the Monroe doctrine
absolutely forbidding any South
American country from trans
ferring in any manner her territory
to any foreign nation, and we
should be fired with Indignation at
the mention Of such a thing.

Hardly Warranted,

G OMEWHERE in the Bible it says that God

OF God created He him; male and female created
