Breakdown of Car Service
and BeLated Workers
BY BILL PRICE.

Feeble efforts to restore street car service In
suburban sections of the District will not accomplish
satisfactory results for many days, and it is high
time that officials of the street car lines-notably
the Washington Railway and Electric Company
put forth renewed efforts whatever the COST to
carry to their work, and return to their homes
thousands of workers who resorting to all sorts
of schemes to reach their destinations
Nature-a warm rain, warm bright sunshine
may do what the car companies have failed to do,
but it is not fair to the riding public that service
is to be re-established wholly through natural
agencies. Car riders entitled to feel that every
possible human agency has been exerted to give them
service speedily as possible.
1t does not behoove any of us to become unfairly
critical under the extraordinary conditions confront
ing us, but governmental and business activities, the
earning of salaries by many thousands of workers,
urgently demand early resumption of normal trans
portation facilities. To accomplish this may
qure herculean efforts, but these should be forth
coming. Visible evidences in the last few days do
not indicate that the efforts have caused any strain
Our people good-naturedly making the best
of conditions and showing grit and determination
under the unusual difficulties before them.
If it has been possible for the street systems
of Washington to operate their mid Lefty lines, with
their profitable short haus, extra exertion might
have opened more of the suburban lines than has
been done. We had considerable talk at time
of zone system of fares, by which the suburban
car riders would pay extra fares Today's lesson
is only another evidence that it is the suburbanite
who is always penalized when there is breakdown OF
service, either for hours or days.
Government departments and bureaus whose
workers find il impossibe to arrive at their desks
on time should be fair and liberal in the matter of
excusing those who have had to fight their way to
the center of the city-some times walking, some
times paying exorbitant charges of buses or taxis.
Car schedules, on lines which have been cleared,
are all out of gear and often the time required for
a trip is double that under ordinary conditions.

The Respectable Beggars
of the Next Generation

A WISE young person who has money and
"A means to keep it, said: ''The poor people of the
next generation those that have money now
but do realize that the value of dollar is only so
cents who deceivng themselves into the belief that
they rich ever, and that their money will last
forever They their children, twenty five, thirty
thirty-fve years from will find that they haven't
got anything
That is prediction that might interest some of the
ladies and gentlemen, whose only thought how to be
ide that supply photographers with material at Palm
Beach, Miami and other places where those that live
without work spend money that they haven't earned.
Everything easy The first thing they think
of is pleasure the last thing they think of is work.
Another generation half generation and they will
be thinking of and lamenting money foolishy SPENT OPP
portunities allowed to go by.
Any man with ability can make himself rich enough
for independence at this me if he keeps his mind open
AND WORKING.
The world is turned upside down, values have fallen
recklessy Frightened stock gamblers that create prices
believe, as they always do that what has gone down
will never come back In boom times they believe that
what has gone up will never down..
Old Russell Sage used to say: Young man. you will
have at least chance in your life to buy Western
Union at SO. When the chance comes you had better
buy it. The ordinary broker when he sees Western
Union at 100, thinks it is cheap And when he
Western Union at so, thinks it is dear When YOU
see it at so, BUY IT,
John D. Rockefeller jr, in his Sunday school class
told the young gentlemen that to make life happy you
must think about work and not about pleasure.
1t would be exact to that to make life happy
you ought to think about work in working hours, and
about pleasure in hours that be egtmaey devoted
to pleasure
Those who try to make their lives all pleasure will
in short time have lives all work and worry, and they
have little real pleasure in the meanwhile

My Dear X. C. B.-The woman who
chides" begs to state that as writer to the
masses you should broaden your experiences.
Those whom you know and describe as gen.
tlewomen and your friends are the protected
few. How about thousands of earnest
women everywhere struggling with over
wrought nerves and brutal or selfish hus-
bands or providers to do their duty and to
bring their children through to success and
happiness? Should women be considered less
their lot? And what matters it just where
perience which necessarily roughens them is
worthy Of good mems respect because ex-
she gets ungentle? l say women deserve
sympathy and chivalrous attention for the
misfortune of being driven by mankind to
lose their gentleness.

Wore Unfit Coming.

A NUMBER of hotel men of
"a New York State are trying
4 - to induce the Legislature to
make an appropriation to Cornell
University to enable that insti-
tuition to establish a school for
training stewards and hotel
managers.
This is the first intimation
which the public has ever received
that hotel stewards and managers
need training. The popular con-
ception has always been that they
were born to the job and while
they may have lacked training
they never really wanted it.
The curriculum of such a school
could be made quite interesting.
There would, of course, be de-
partment of "greetins,' in
which the future hotel clerk
would be taught when to address
a prospective guest as "Hello,
old man," or "Welcome, brother"
or "Well, we'll, look who's here, ="
or give him the stony stare, plus
Were all filled up"
Then, to be sure, there would
be courses of study in the length
of bed sheets, calling a guest at
7 a. m. to ask whether he wanted
to be called at 9 a. m. or 10 a. M,
ethics of bootlegging, the tipping
system, marriage certificates
and so forth.

Taking Too
Biz Chances
N impressive argument was

~ recently MADE III Dostoh
by Harry B. Parsons, the
well-known consulting engineer,
against the proposed Great Lakes
st. Lawrence tidewater canal.
He said that if the st. Lawrence
river were used for the purpose
Of developing power rather than
as a canal for the purpose of
transportation, it would save fifty
million tons of coal a year, be-
cause it could develop electrical
power equal to the amount which
could be developed by fifty million
tons of coal in a steam generating
plant.
Under the present plan of build
ing a canal. along the st. Law
renee river, in order to get a
more direct route to Liverpool so
that the mid Western freight
would not have to pass through
Boston or New York or Baltimore
or Savannah or New Orleans or
any other American port, the
United States is to pay one-half
of the cost, or, as Mr.. Parsons
figures it, $2s2, 100000.
This canal is to be constructed
on foreign soil and within the
control of foreign government
and would, if it we're as success
full as claimed, take business away
from American ports and Ameri-
can railroads. Therefore, Mr..
Parsons asks this very pertinent
question:
As the estimates of the cost
are 50 large, the question at
once arises: "Why should the
United States pay half when it
will be benefited by only one
sixth the power developed" At
q cost of say $4,000 a mile,
the United States share, $780,
100000 would construct $500
miles of railway, sufficient to
reach from the Mississippi with
two lines to the Atlantic sea-
board, and also from the middle
West with two lines to the Gulf.
Let US 60 slowly before we
make a false step.
Surely it is not good policy
to spend so much money in a for
eign country where the control OF
the enterprise must rest entirely
within alien hands.
With three hundred millions we
could reclaim millions of arid
acres and make grass grow where
it never grew before, and we
could do it all in our own country
and absolutely control the bene-
fetal consequences of it.

For Freedom,
of the Seas
A I the very beginning Of the
~ Disarmament Conference We

/, tempts to abolish the submarine
in war.
We said that the British want
ed to abolish the submarine, not
because the submarine is a bar
barous weapon, but because the
submarine is an effective weapon
against any nation which under
takes to be the bully of the seas.
We also pointed out that there
was nothing in Great Britain's
agreement to destroy battleships
which indicated an intention on
her part to consent to freedom of
the seas.
On the contrary, We asserted
that the British proposal to de-
stroy both the battleships and the
submarines indicated that she was
cunningly conspiring not only to
maintain her control of the seas
but to increase it.
We reached this conclusion for
the following reasons:
Tests had revealed that the
biggest battleship was helpless
against bombing aeroplanes, thus
no longer contributing to control
of the seas. Moreover, battle
ships were tremendously expen-
sive, and Great Britain could not,
'even if they were effective, build
them in competition with tho
United States.
A great ocean liner would, un-
der these conditions, be far more
effective in controlling the seas
than a battleship, because i
could be used as a mother ship
for bombing aeroplanes.
Moreover, the merchant ship
could be armed and used as fast
cruiser, and, if there we're no
great armed fighting ships, the
armed merchant ship would be as
powerful on the sea as the great
fighting ship had been.
The British preponderance of
merchant ships would thus be-
come the navy Of the world. If
the ships of the line were de-
stroyed, by agreement, her mer-
chant fleet would give her a
greater naval preponderance than
her preponderance Of ships of the
line gives her today.
But it was quite necessary to
destroy also the submarine, for
the submarine can be used by any
small nation with powerful effect
against the worlds sea bully.
The submarine is far less bar
barous than bombing aeroplanes,
which Britain not only wants to
use in support of her control of
the seas, but which she is using
to stamp out the right of self
determination in Egypt and India
Messrs. Hughes, Underwood,
Root and Lodge, rejecting the al
vice of our naval experts, prompt
ly fell into the British trap and
agreed to limit the submarine and
thus perpetuate Britain's control
Of the seas. 1t was the resistance
of France which saved the day.
Now comes Admiral Sims
speaking recently at the Harvard
Union, with the bold statement
Battleships are not worth
the powder to blow them to hell.
The future Of the battleship is
that it is Just going to fade out
of existence.
Admiral Sims showed that Z
submarine was the greatest of al
commerce destroyers. He coli
tinued:
The War College has decided
that the submarine is the most
effective weapon in existence
