Work of Mission.

ID the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Let me state an example of tba
work the Central Mission has been
quietly doing. I suppose. for ve.rs
without my knowing II. Perbans
others are equally ignorant. say
1t is intensely practical. This mis-
sion deserves our cash subscrip-
tions.
Here is what came under nv eve
a bitter cold, night a few months
ago as I was leaving the store 7
was asked by thinly-clad man for
help to get lodging for the night.
] saw at a glance that he was half
drunk and felt that money would
be wasted on him. i was worried
for fear he would not get admit
tance anywhere in the condition he
was in and might possibly be frozen
before morning. So decided TO try
to have him admitted to Central
Mission for the night and / would
pay whatever was asked so that the
man. could have shelter from the
cold and at least a bench to sleep on
until he had slept off the effect of
his drinking. I was directed to the
fourth floor to the superintendent's
home rooms, the man laboriously

the door was opened quickly by the
superintendent himself. I was cor
daily greeted and when I told him
what l wanted, with not the slight
est hesitation, came his answer,
why, certainly, we will take care
Of him." To the man he said. "Just
come downstairs. sit in the meet
ing (which was being held on first
floor), and after 1t Is over we will
give you a warm supper and then
a room and good bed to sleep in
On my inquiry as to price of this
service, he replied, Not a cent; we

The conference committee is certain to have
its 'labors for nothing. One point of order viii
send the District appropriations bill back for recon
sideration 1t is obvious that the Representatives
and Senators on the committee exceeded their an
thority when they inserted new matter into the bill
matter in dispute between the two chambers
There is indication that either the House
Senate win approve any such legislation
Especially after the temper of District people has
been shown it is unbelievable that such proposal
false to every principle of sound municipal eco
nomics, will be tolerated on Capitol Hill The ma
jorty of national legislators have desire to i'm
pose on the District Where they have done so in
the past the explanation has been, in the present
case, haste and poor advice
But the alarming threat of nearly so per cent
tax x.ncrease should awaken stronger sense of re-
sponsibility among Washington citizens Congress
will make mistakes especially local affairs. Some
day one OF these mistakes may prove serious to
the Capital of the United States. Only con-
tnuous united stand on the part of D. c. citizens
will prevent such a contingency.
Residents of the District may be wards of the
government, as some one remarked at the Central
High School mass meeting yesterday. But there is
no reason why we should be like mutes in an
asylum-gratcful for every stray crumb and willing
10 be spanked without a murmur. When the Wig
orous voice OF a united Washington makes itself
heard it will be bold and arrogant Congress in
deed that fails to heed. -
1t is unfortunate that Capital people do not
have more frequent meetings to discuss. muni-
cipa affairs. Some day the damage will have beer
done before the protest of the citizens can have any
effect. The District resident it appears reacts as
might be expected to the lack of civic responsibility
which has been imposed upon him.. He has no
vote. Others lcgislate for him. Consequently he
loses interest.
Only united citizenry can cope with such an
emergency created by this tax measure.
Interest in local affairs Be stimulated. The
individual Washingtonian must be kept on his
guard at all times =

Gently, has never authorized the
President to assume control of the
railroads for the purpose of develop-
ing the relative merits of private
ownership and operation. any steps
in that direction taken by Federal
control. and which resulted in any
manner inimical to the best inter-
ests of the public or the carriers so
seized. were unfair. unwarrantco
and illogical. because they were nor
justified by law.
Congress itself acted wisely in
1916 when it made provision in ad-
vance for taking over the railroads
by the President whenever such ac-
tion in his judgment should seem
necessary as a war measure.
The President. under the cyr.
cumstances, acted wisely then in
the exercise of the power granted
him as war measure; he took pos
session of the railroads on December
2S, 1917.
After the armistice there was
certainly no reason why the Presi-
dent should longer retain possession
OF the properties as a war measure.
1t was recognized by all, however,
that it would be both unwise and
control until Congress should pro-
vide a better method of regulation
than had been in effect previou,
thereto. Owing to the magnitude
of the problem so presented to Con.
gress, 1t was necessary to prolong
the period of Federal control until
March 1, 1920.
congress itself having decided
upon the policy of private owner
ship and operation of the railroads,
with governmental regulation. pro-
Vided by suitable legislation for the
continuance of the method so deter
mined upon. Nothing has yet devel-
oped to show that Congress erred
in its decision either to terminals
Federal control and operation or in
the scheme of regulation which IL
provided for the future operation
OF the roads. while much that has
happened since the termination of
Federal control tends to justify the
action OF Congress and confirm the
wisdom of the transportation act
what the railroads need more
than anything else at the present
time is an opportunity under the
terms cf the act to work out their
problems without unnecessary and
burdensome interference, and i have
the utmost confidence that they will
successfully surmount their present
difficulties IL given a fair chance
to do so.
L am also confident that they will
provide the people of this country
with adequate transportation at
reasonable rates and lower than are
to be found for similar service inl
any other country in the world.
This the railroads did do under the
faulty scheme of regulation in effect
before the war. and much more
should they be able to DO SO under
= bettex and wiser scheme of regu-
iation now in effect"

A narrow escape from death hap
pened last Wednesday on the Benoit
road when Steve Lischiak, twelve
year old, was raking hay TO. .As
dad.
The horses became scaSed, it is not
known at what, and turned into the
fence and knocked young Steve from
his seat frontwards and ne was
thrown in front of the teeth Of the
hay rake and was dragged along un-
til his clothes were torn to shreds.
The hay rake was smashed to
pieces and was finally over turned and
the boy slipped out safe and sound
He was dragged about three hum
dred feet this way before the rig
turned over or any one could come
to his aid. They found him O. K.
however.
It was a terrible sight to see and
everyone interested is thanking God
that he was saved.

that the result was no worse.

NO COLONY
THIS YEAR
HAY FEVER PROJECT CIV.
EN- UP FOR 1922
Announcement Made That Ar
rangements Could Not be
Completed for this Season.
Coming in 1928.

S. Fichtner, the man behind the pro.
ject to open up hay fever colony in
this city this season, hsa given up
the idea 70 rthis year according to
letter received the first of the
week, but is nyw laying plans for
the establishment of colony here
5he coming year..
Two weeks ago the Times carried
the announcement that DIR. Fichtner
had been here and had rented a
number of buildings for the purpose
of establishing hay fever colony,
Work was started on number Of
the places and had proceeded quite
far when telegram was received to
halt work and letter received con-
veys the information that on account
of numerous delays it would be inn
possible to get the places ready for
the season this year, which opens
about the 9Th of August, but that
plans would be worked out for the
establishment of the colony here
the coming year.
Mr.. Fichtner was more than pleas
ed with the climate here and also
the location for hay fever colony
and had expected to be able to get his
buildings fitted up for this season,
but this was impossible and he now
states that plans will be W rked out
for 1923.
Mr.. Fichtner expects to have q
colong of more than two hundred
people here during the hay fever sea-
son which lasts from about the 5th
of August until after the first heavy
frcst.
Many peopel are now coming to
this region to find relief from hay
fever, but they are being housed at
hotels and private residences. The
plan of the Milwaukee man is to open
up central dining room and amuse-
ment hall as we'll as sleeping quar-
ters for the patients.
