Why a Street Railway
Merger Is Most Desirable
By BILL PRICE.

The Public Utilities Commission stands firm against
enactment of legislation for the absorption OF the Potomc
Electric Power Company by the Washington Railway and
Electric Company unless condition OF such absorption
be merger OF the traction companies OF the city Senator
CAPPER of the Senate subcommittee investigating the
subject intmaes that there should be such condition
Moreover the p IT, G. insists that legislation shall con-
tam profits tax provision equalization
OF the inequtabe conditions existing in the street rail
way situation.
What is sought by the people of Washington is
MERGER OF the two railway companies and If that can
be brought about they would probably not object to the
r. e. +. being Jumped into the transaction. A unified
company would have hundreds of advantages the pres
ent complicated tumble There would be just company
for the p IT, c., the nancier and the public to deal with
Without the merger the irritating complications long
present will continue
That unifcation should bring about LOWER CAR
FARES and ultimately lower electric light rates.
Economies of administration ought to result in saving
thousands of dollars to the people, who pay the bills
and conduce to muchneeded improvements in service.
There can be objection to consolidated organiza-
ton having financial strength Utility improvements and
extensions brought about through borrowed money,
and the stronger the company the better the rates
obtain its loans The lower the interest rates it pays
on securities the less operating expense beneficial alike
to the corporation and the public.

HUMA n
William Anterior Du Puy.

Commissioner George r. Wales, of the Civil
Service Commission. worked so late one night
that he found after leaving the office that the
well-known witching time had settled over the
city.
ON his way to the car line he had to pass
through a parkway and under the shadow of
certain large trees. AS he entered this parkway
he was somewhat disturbed to see the figure
of another man, hulking, roughly dressed. turn
in behind him. Soon he realized that this man
was following closely. maintaining a given dis
lance.
He increased his speed and the shadow did
likewise. He thought he would slow up and let
the man pass him. but that individual slowed up
likewise. The situation looked threatening. The
commissioner was therefore much relieved when
he reached the edge of the parkway where there
stood large and luminous street lamp. Be-
meath this lamp he stopped and waited for his
pursuer. That individual paused likewise under
the light, drew a long breath and said:
Boss, it sure dark in there, wasn't it?'
Senator Arthur Capper gives a birthday party
the 14th Of each July. 1t is his birthday,
but his party is to the children of Kansas Last

This birthday party Is becoming an institution

year later the call reached the borders OF the

Kansas who could come was invited to tho Cap

When the occasion arrives the Senator tells
the street company to carry all the children

Are Battleships
Easy Marks p

r II seems that Government authori-
ties have decided to investi-
q gate the question of ship-build-
ing, including the possible effect of
flying machines and submarines on
big battleships. Better late than
never. In the beginning of the war
it was learned that huge forts were
dangerous liability. Instead of
protecting men within them, it was
necessary to send out armies to pro-
tect the forts.
A gigantic battleship is an easy
mark and has become, in naval war
fare, what the fixed fort has become
in land warfare. Neither Germany
nor France dared use its fleet in
this war for fear of mines, subma-
rines and flying machines. Why
build gigantic battleships that would
have to be carefully hidden away if
war came
After powder and bullets were
invented the fighters put away their
coats of arms. Dynamite from the
flying machine and submarine will
do to the great battleship what
mnskets did to the coat of mail

Churchill to the control of Brit
ish colonial administration has
very ominous portent for the re-
turn of decency and justice and
economy so much needed in the
British Empire for the restoration
of its financial and moral credit.
This temperamental, INSCRIPTIONS,
audacious and irresponsible person
has done more than any other ten
men in the British Empire to bring
. disrepute and bad credit morally
and financially upon the British gov
eminent.
His illegal, unconstitutional in
trigues in Russia cost the British
many millions of dollars in taxation
and in lost reputation.
He will succeed to the control of
the British policy in Egypt, Mesopo-
tamia, Persia and those near Eastern
countries where British imperialism
is so flagrantly giving the lie to
British pretense during the war that
Britain was fighting Germany to
make the world safe for democracy.
This INSCRIPTIONS and irresponsi-
BILE man, by virture of the powers
and opportunities of his office, can
continue his ceaseless intrigues
against Russia in the near East
AS liberal newspapers in England
point out in their dismay at the APP
pointment of Churchill to this deli
cate and responsible office, it por-
tends the end of the announced Brit
ish plan to carry out Britain's
solemn oath to Egypt given thirty
years ago and ratified again solemn
ly during the war and renewed as
solemnly within a few weeks.
1t portends secret intrigue
throughout the near East and con-
slant embodiment, confusion and
ferment in that part of the world
which has succeeded the Balkans
as the powder magazine of the white
race.
For the sake of the British people
and for the sake of the people in
the near East we hope that this
madcap will not have freedom to
follow his natural bent, and that his
appointment really has not the dark
significance of its present appear
ance.

Always Hope
During Life
THE question, raised in Connect


"the hopelessly insane" is
merely a variant of the larger
question: What is best to do with
humanity's defectivesi
The Indians and most other print
tive peoples reverenced the insane,
believing their condition to be the
handiwork of the Great Spirit.
1t has taken centuries for the So
called civilized white race to rise
above the opinion that men and
women who are afflicted by disease
or bad environment until they be-
come public liabilities should be Sc
verely punished for their misfor-
tunes. 1t was only few years ago
that poverty ceased to be subjected
to cruel punishment by imprison-'
ment for debt
Even now the average of treat
ment of criminals and detectives in
our prisons and asylums leaves much
to be desired. We still take life for
life when we execute murderers,
doubling the waste. And in many
communities we still condemn to
idleness prisoners whose chances of
redemption idleness almost certainly
destroys and whose maintenance it
makes an unrelieved expense.
The chief point in the Connect
cut discussion turns upon a word.
Who can tell what demented person
is "hopelessly" insane'
Hospital records reveal that about
a third of the diagnoses in cases Of
mental disorders are faulty-this,
Notwithstanding steady progress in
the branch of science which deals
with phenomena of the mind.
A few years ago the person bitten
by rabid dog, infected by certain
kinds of rust, attacked by tubercle
bacilli, or touched by leper was
looked upon as doomed.
But advancing science has well
nigh routed these hazards, along
with many more.
Clearly no present opinion as to
what form of disability is hopeless
can be regarded as final; at best it
is largely well-meaning guess.
Instinct, therefore, which recoils
from anticipating nature time for
putting out the spark of life, is
wiser than the vainglorious knowl-
edge which would hazard homicide
on the basis of an imperfect guess.
To do away with difficult human
problems in psychiatry merely be-
cause at the moment they seem in
soluble would be on par with the
schoolboy who throws away his
arithmetic because it's "sums" are
too hard.
Science views in difficulties new
challenges to exertion.
And on the plane of simple hu-
mainly let us not forget the i'm
plications of the adage, crystal of
prolonged experience:
