The United States and Bolivar.

To the Editor of The Star
In connection with the Bolivar cele-
hration in New York it may be peril
nent to recall the fact that the crown
ing ambition of the great liberator's
life was frustrated by the United
states, and that we paid the price of
our action in the Spanish American
var. Bolivar had called a conference
to meet at Panama for the purpose OF
considering the case of Cuba and
Porto Rico, the last great possessions
of Spain in America. To this confer
ence the United States was invited to
send delegates. In reply to the lnVl-
tation it was intimated, both in the
diplomatic notes of Henry Clay, then
Secretary of state, and in the discus
sions on the subject in Congress, that
if it was proposed to abolish slavery
in Cuba and Porto Rico this govern
ment would not only oppose such
action, but would prefer to have these
countries remain in the possession of
Spain. Seeing the futility of making
any attempt to free the islands in the
face of such powerful opposition, Boil
iyar reluctantly surrendered the
greatest ambition of his stormy ca
reer--that of removing the taint of
Spanish domination from this hemi-
sphere forever. The task would have
been comparatively easy at that time.
When it was subsequently accom-
plished by this nation it was at an
enormous sacrifice of blood and treas
ure-the price always paid in the end
for paltering with moral issues. 1t
is well for us to lay wreath, in con-
triton, at the feet of Simon Bolivar.

NAVY BOARD TO DECIDE
FATE OF C. & O. CANAL
Secretary DENLY Pressed by Busi-
ness Men to Save Famous
Old Waterway.

rate Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal is said to rest with the general
board of the United States Navy Sec
retary DENLY. who has been impor-
tuned by Washington and Cumber-
land business men to continue Navy
coal shipments over the canal, is un-
derStood TO have referred the entire
matter to the board. This action is
believed to have been taken because
of the Secretary's recognition of the
fact that the canal has military
ing rail congestion. which should be
taken into account by the govern
ment.
Should the Navy coal business be
Withdrawn, it would reduce coal ship
ments over the canal this year ap-
proximately so per cent; put out of
commission half of the boats and 9TH
er equipment and otherwise SO Grip
pie the canal. it is stated. that its
future operations might be made i'm
possible.
The Navy is considering buying
coal from a West Virginia field, which
has been offered at a price less than
that quoted on the canal product. 1t
is stated, however, that the transpor-
tation charge over the canal to In
dian Head. the point of consumption,
is 64scents a ton less than the rail
charge would be for the West Vir-
ginia fuel. 1t is claimed that the
government. even though it might be
able this year to buy coal at the
mines in West Virginia cheaper than
the price placed on the canal coal, it
would be economically unwise, in view
of future demands, to take step
which might result in closing the
canal and denying the government
means of cheaper transportation.

ing sought by representatives of so

problem is one for which legislation

were many women left in Canada
with their children without adequate
support because their husDands ue

States. You have the same problem
in the states, and there is no extra

The man who wants to make
a speech infests all towns in

the lonely beach, and fingers in
the sylvan dell; for years I've
tried in vain to reach a place
where he won't come and yell.
He speaks. and will not be de-
MED, wherever there is stand
ing room, his mouth is ever
yawning wide, and multlplles
the public gloom, and when a
delegate has died, he talks a cir
Gle round the tomb. | see him
on a soapbox stand, and hear
him howl until he's hoarse, pre-
dieting that our native land will
be the home of all that's coarse,
unless the government is canned
and Russian notions put in force,
| hear his wordy thunders sweep
beneath the fretted statehouse
dome; | meet him on the rolling
deep, l see him everywhere

asleep he'd cen invade my hum

seldom knows enough to last
him over night he hasn't conned
the stately prose of sages who
have deigned to write his shall
low stream of language flows
without saving thought in

COURTESY OF EMPLOYEES.
Acts of Kindness of Motorman and
Conductor Commended.
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor Of The Star
May I have the space in your pa
per to cite two incidents which have
come under my observation recently :?
Both typify the unfailing courtesy
and great consideration of the en-
ployes of the Capital Traction Com
pany.
The other afternoon while on my
way home on the 14th street car my
attention was arrested by a piercing
shrek. The car, which had been
spinning rapidly along, was brought
to a sudden stop in the middle OF the
square. Looking quickly out of the
window. ! found the reason for the
curb were two colored children. and
the littlest ones spring hat had
blown on the track and was in great
danger The motorman. No. 1873, a
Knight of the Kind Heart. if there
ever were such, stopped the car just
in the nick of time, got out and res
cued the hat with floating pink
streamcrs and restored it to it's owner
who, in the meanwhile had been
standing on the curb transfixed with
relieved smile on that childs face.
Who among the daughters of Eve.
from the Coloners Lady to Judy
O'irady. wouldn't shrek if she saw
her spring hat in such imminent
danger?
weeks ago An elderly lady and an
enfeebIed old gentleman were getting
off at Park road. The lady seemed
very worried because she and the old
gentleman were not moving fast
enough The unknown conductor said
in the kindest, most reassuring man
ner, Don't worry, there's plenty of
time" His sympathy toward their in
firmities warmed ones heart and
made one realize that by just being
cousiderate toward our neighbor we
may tighten many burdens.
A few years ago in Rochester, N.
Y. saw a motorman stop a car sud
denly in the middle of the square and
get out and rescue baby robin which
/ had fallen on the track and was too
young TO fly. ISABEL MELLEN.
