Municipal Ownership of
ID. C.. Street RuiLlUays
By BILL PRICE.

Municipal ownership of the Districts street railway
lines is again brought to the front by Congressman
KELLER of Minnesota member of the House District
Committee which is applying itself to solution Of the
street railway tumble here. Mr. Keller proposes to go
further with his idea Of public ownership and control Of
public utilities by fathering and pushing bill for the
acquisition by the Federal and District Of the
Potomac Electric Power Company and the development Of
the huge power of Great Falls going to waste each day.
while the Government and private pay high
prices for electric current
Municipal ownership would have solved the complex
street railway situation years back if Congress had been
willing to listen Refusing to accept this solution and
failing to agree any other, Congress is directly
sponsbe for the most aggravang unfair and negotiable
electric railway situation in the United States Either
municipal ownership the Cleveland plan of guaranteeing
fair returns fair valuation would long ago have ended
the whole thing reduced street fares to where they
belong and saved the people of Washington several mil
lions of dollars not ghfuy extracted from them fares
Of Congress will at this time reject municipal
ownership but it at least satisfaction to know that the
railway situation here is getting the of Congress
and that somewhat radical legislation be expected the
two competing companies do not reach agreement for
merger about which there is for doubt The sent
in Congress is to force such merger by of
taxation otherwise.

Thermometer.

In the seventeenth century men could only
Judge OF the amount OF heat prevailing at any
Mace nv their personal sensations. They could
only speak OF the weather as hot very hot,
cold or very cold. And then came Gabriel Dan

A well-informed railroad man,
whose knowledge of railroads excels
his humor, says that the one trouble
with the railroads is this:
Automobile trucks are allowed
to use the highways free, and thus
they compete very seriously with the
railroads in freight carrying" That
is serious situation. How would
it be to charge automobile trucks SO
much mile for use of the high
ways and turn the money over to the
railroads in addition to the subsidy
now represented in increased freight
and passenger ratesi That ought
to help.

Stars and Stripes

Style applauds beauty but jeers at ugl-
ness.
Discomfort is an open back door through
which all blessings escape.
The man who has to guard his honor too
closely deserves little confidence in it.
They who would compel others to attend
church by law Value their faith at law
yer's fee.
A good intention will not keep; unless
carried out, it soon decays and corrupts
character.
II we judge an idler by his promises, he
expects to live forever; if we judge him by
his performance, he expects to die tomor-
row.
promise forgotten is lie remembered.
Opportunities are like fish of the sea; those
that slip off our hook never bite again.
Good intentions have fair promises for
children and vain regrets for grandchildren
It takes no keen sight to find fault; It
is rather the vice of one who stays at
home and sees little than of one who goes
abroad and sees much.
A liar, like a lost traveller in forest of
falsehood, strays in a circle and arrives
nowhere.

IOlloWlng eloquent appear:
in the most difficult year of our re-
cent experience with enlarged responsible
ties upon one hand and the weary public
stated with appeals upon the other, the
Salvation Army finds itself in q desper-
ate situation, and i want to ask II you
will not make some editorial comment in
your paper, which has done so much for
us In the past, raging the public to
see to il that our maintenance budget
does not fail.
The rich are saying they, are beset by
taxes and business depression and the
poor are largely out of work. whereupon
we are in danger of failing between the
two. You know our practical work and
direct methods and realize that in times
like these, when there is great unem-
.pIoyment: our responsibilities are vastly
multiplied.
The Salvation Army is operated at q
minimum of expense, IS you know, and
Is the audits filed with your office show.
Our people get nothing but a bare exist
enee and dheerfully give their lives to the
work.
I'VE make one appeal a year, and when
this fails us our work must Of course,
be curtailed. | ask you this not for my
self nor for the Salvation Army but for
the great mass of suffering humanity"
Ask any man who was with our
flag in France, ask any man at home
who has been up against prolonged
poverty as a stranger in a great city,
whether the Salvation Army is worth
supporting and you will get reply
which will send your hand quickly
to your pocketbook.
This organization does a service
for which it is peculiarly fitted, and
performs it at a strikingly low per-
centage of administrative cost.

The March
Of EUentS
n HE most romantic thing left
now is science. The trouba-

= dours have gone, we don't be-
ieve in giants or fairies, mermaids
or pixies, banshees or gnomes. But
for the scientist the world is full Of
romance.
One group Of scientists from Eng
lend is starting out to climb Mt.
Everett, the highest mountain in the
world. Compared with the siz" of
the earth that mountain is not as
high as the roughness you see on the
skin of an orange, or even on the
skin of an apple. We are little
microbes trying to climb up, that's
all.
Another group of scientists is
starting for South America to find
the mother bed, in the mountains
that separate Guiana and Venezuela,
from which diamonds are occasion
ally washed down the rivers.
Another group of scientists will
hunt in Asia for the old "chariots of
from with which men killed each
other before they had invented the
"steel tanks" of today.
Scientists are trying to turn away
the Arctic current that chills our
northeastern waters. Science is
romance.
Business also has it's romantic
side, and business men that have got
beyond the need of money keep on
with the game, like lion hunters or
golf players.
William c. Whitney said of
Thomas F. Ryan, Ryan will be the
richest man in the world if he wants
to be-" Perhaps Ryan is the richest
now. Who knows! He does not.
You are reminded that T. F. Ryan
hasn't lost interest when you read
that down in a queer part of Africa
a flying machine is carrying dia-
monds from the diamond mine to the
coast.
Ryan owns the diamond mine and
the diamond express is flying for
him. Instead of negro porters
tramping through the forests forty
or fifty days with bundles on their
heads, a machine will fly the trip in
a few hours. Those diamond fields,
1T is said, now yield about two hun
Gred and fifty thousand carats year
as a starter. That ought to be bet
ter than a subway, and you don't
have any legislature in that part of
Africa.
A careful trustee recently rem
dered an accounting of property
held for girl in her teens. The
items owned by the young lady in
cluded "a Russian sable coatee,
made up of two heads, fifty-two tails,
and fifty-three paws" besides the
skins. What should we think of an
animal if it wore "a coatee" that
included in addition to human skins,
"two heads, ffty-two feet, and
hfty-three nands!'
And what should we think about
tribe of African savages if we read
that they had captured a female
gorilla, guilty of killing somebody,
that they had the gorilla locked up
and soon were going, solemnly and
publicly, to kill that female.
We should say, "Why, you poor
savages, don't you know that the
female gorilla killed because she
knew no better, because she had an
inferior brain' Don't disgrace your
selves by following the example of
that killing gorilla female by now
killing her."
The great State of New York has
captured and locked up a black
woman, guilty of killing somebody.
