man to the sea. Afterward he rose
to Il high and prosperous rank in the
practice of law.
The only political office Harrison
ever held before his election to the
presidency was a seat In the senate.
Defeated for reelection to that body
In the year before he was elected pres
ident, he left Washington with no
thought that he would soon return as
president-elect. and he frankly de-
scribed himself as "a dead duck"
The only candidate that the rank
and file of the Republicans wanted to
nominate in 1883 was Blaine But he
was not well. and he refused to make
contest for the nomination. AT last
he cabied from Scotland: Take Har-
rison." And the convention indiffer-
emily took him.
The more notable events of the Har-
rison administratlon-the Mckinley
tariff act; the silver act. which more
than doubled the purchase Of that
metal by the treasury: the Sherman
law on the subject of trusts: the de-
pendent pension act. and the first Pan
American congress-hardly belong In
this little story, because none of them
originated with the president himself
He did not rise to leadership. and con-
greSs took the reins. All the while he
sat In the White House in cold aloof-
ness.
With the cry Of God help the sur
plus!" the Republicans gave the coun-
try in Harrlson's administration the
first "hillion-dollar congress-" the ap-
preparations for the two-year term ris-
Ing TO that unprecedented total. To
the popular protest Speaker Reed re-
torted: This Is a billion-dollar coun-
try" But the country did not feel rich
enough TO pay the higher tariff rates
Of the Mckinley act.
That law was passed only seven
weeks before the congressional cleo
tons I'm 1890. OF course anyone who
had anything to sell seized upon the
excuse TO mark up prices. The shop
ping women" rose In their fury at the
higher cost Of living. and the voters
overwhelmed the Republican majority
In the house.
That was the forerunner Of q still
greater political overturn In the presi-
Dental election In 1889. when Harrison
went down under . sweeping victory
for Cleveland

ONLY CHANGE IS IN METHOD
Human Race ~ "Puonacious" Today
a. II Was In the Times OF
the Old Romano.

The word "pugnacity' is pat
reminder of the short and simple
way Of doing things. When an old
Roman was disposed to be quarrel
some he went at it by the direct
method Of using his fist, or pug
nus" Hence 'pugno"--I fight.
1t will be seen that the word
"pugnacious" is closely allied to our
modern phrase of the boxing ring
or the alley: Handy with his
fists"
The next time you are disposed
to be quarrelsome in the modern
way of being argumentative, remem-
Der the origin of the word pug
nacious." The method of being
pugnacious has varied somewhat un-
der the influence OF police regula-
tons and the higher conception of
individual rights. Most of the time
we substitute bitter words for hard
fists. But the principle is the same,
and it is savage desire to knock
the other fellow down,-Chicago
Journal.

Permission between the two acts Of the
Cleveland drama. History gives but
a passing glance at the one president
whose predecessor became his success
or, who had to give up the presidential
chair to the man he took it from.
Although Harrison had more brains
than Cleveland, Cleveland had larger
nature, and that Is what counts most
In the leadership Of men.
Notwithstanding Benjamin Harrison
was the grandson Of a president, In
whose house he was born, his father
was poor and the boy was brought up
plainly.
Graduating from small Ohio COL
lege, Harrison married at twenty the
girl to whom he engaged himself at
eighteen, and they went to housekeep-
ing In little three-room cottage In
Indianapolis. He was not admitted to
the bar until after his marriage. and
the first money he ever made was as
a court crier at $3.50 day. Later on
he helped out his lean practice with
his salary as clerk Of the supreme
court Of the state. Then came the
Civil war. I'm which he served CALAMITY

ent rate the Capital Traction would
continue to make as much money as
1T now earns. because Of the number
of w. r. & E: patrons who would use
Capital Traction cars.
Most of the afternoon session was
devoted to the testimony of Prof. AL
bert S. Richey. zoning expert of Wor-
cester. Mass. who appeared for the
w. r. & E.
ZoninE Expert Testifes.
Prof. Rtchey told the commission
that by all means the w. R. & E. and
same rate of fare in the area in
which the two systems compete. If
the commission reduces the Capital
Traction fare. he said, it should es-
tablish two zones and give both COM
panies the same fare for the inner
zone.
The revenue which the w. r. & E.
would lose by lower fare in this
inner zone should be made up. Mr..
Richey testified. by a second fare in
the suburbanites Of the w. r. & f.
Here are the points where Prof.
Richey would have the inner zone
end: 36th and Prospect streets; Wis
consin avenue and P street, Georgia
avenue and Park road. North Capitol
and Michigan avenue, 4th street and
Rhode Island avenue northeast. 18th
and H streets northeast and the Ana
costa bridge.
The Mount Pleasant. 11th street.
18th and d streets and East Capitol
street lines would be wholly within
the inner zone.
Estimates Fare Reductions.
Prof. Richey estimated that the fol-
lowing reductions in the fat rate fare
would cause the w. r. & E. to lose
revenue as follows. Seven tokens for
SO cents. loss, $240,O00: five tokens for
So cents. loss. s337.000; seven-cent
straight. loss, $44s.OOO; four tokens for
Is cents. loss. S953,000.
If any of these reductions were put
into effect in the inner zone Prof.
Richey told the commission the loss
could be made up by one of the fol-
low charges in the outer zone: Two
cent fare in outer zone. $354.00O addi-
t1onal revenue: three-cent zone rate.
s456.5 cents, s552.OO0; cents, $685.
600; cents. s729.00O.
Zone Fare Explained.
Prof. Riehey explained that if the
commission adopted an initial fare of
cents, with a zone rate of 3 cents.
the passenger would pay the cents
when he boarded the car. whether in
the inner or the outer zone. and would
pay the additional 3 cents when he
crossed the zone line.
For example. going home in the
evening, the suburbanite would pay
I cents downtown and 3 cents after
crossing the zone point. Going to
work in the morning. the suburbanite
would pay cents in the outer zone
and cents after crossing the zone
line. A passenger riding wholly
within either zone would pay cents
While Prof. Richey was giving fig
ures as to the percentage of sub
urbanites who would avoid the sec
ond fare by walking to and from the
nrst zone William NICK. Clayton of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions. interposed:
That percentage will depend large
~ on the amount of red American
blood the people of Washington have
in their veins"
After Mr.. Hanna had testified Col.
kutz adjourned the hearing until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. when at
y .orneys Tor the companies and the
citizens will make their closing argu-
mentS.
