THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER l. ROBINSON

ONT brighten a child.
The future of every city.
state and nation in the
world depends on the Children IT
today. In large measure the
ability and willingness of cur lit
tie folk to make the world a bet
ter and happier place in which
to live depends on whether they
are treated kindly. properly
reared and taught the essentials
of a general education and in
stilled with a desire to be OF
service to their fellow men.
This is a thought which should
command the serious considera-
ton Of every parent, every teach
er, every minister and every 9TH
er individual who in any manner
exercises an influence on the
lives of our youths. To each one
who realizes that he is doing his
full share to help rear the chill
dren as they should be there is
certain to come a feeling OF sat
isfaction which must add to his
own happiness, not only because
he is helping to make the young
folk happy now and when they
become men and women, but also
because he will know that he is
contributing a great deal to the
happiness and welfare of genera
lions to come.
1t is exceedingly unfortunate.
therefore, if at any time one of
the little people is frightened.
They SHOULD be taught to be
courage Gus and abhor fear. 1t is
a very serious mistake to tell
them of giants who eat children
or to warn that the DOGGY man"
will get them in the dark because
they are bad.
Those who prize their own
happiness and wish to add to the
smiles of the world should never
try to brighten little child.

The Way We Think

Life is full of grief and trouble "
said the man who seldom grins
every tribulation.s double. every
woe / meet is twins. And the sun
is only shiny when we're suffering
for shade, and the tears we shed
are briny, when we should. weep
lemonade, Fierce the present. but
I roar most when l think of days
to come; everything is hind and
foremost, everything is out of
plumb" IF that is your way of
thinking l replied, "oh. man of
care. it's no wonder you are sinking
in the waters of despair. Life to me
seems crisp and snappy and the
world is not frost; I'm determined
to be happy, quite regardless of the
cost. In this frame of mind frolic,
gay, though humble and obscure.
while you have a mental collie that
no aconite will cure. Ii you lack a
grief you fake it, for the sourest
grapes you reach; life's exactly
what we make it, it's lemon or a
peach. Ii a man is hunting sorrow
he can load it on dray, and he'll
find lot tomorrow that he over
looks today. If man is always
seeking for the good things and the
bright. he will see his sorrows
streaking for some cavern out of
sight. With your bosom full of
sadness and your whiskers wet
with tears you can't hope to catch
the gladness in this best of whirl-
ing spheres"

COMMISSIONER PUSHES
WEED CUTTING DRIVE
Seven Hundred Property Owners
Warned for Violating Four
Inch Rule.

Since Commissioner Oyster began
his 1922 offensive to drive high weeds
of the vacant lots of Washington 100
property owners have been notified
to get busy with the scythes.
With Health Officer Fowler as his
commanding officer in the field. the
Commissioner has kept constantly on
the trail of violators of the act of
Congress which provides that weeds
shall not be permitted to grow mere
than four inches high in a thickly
settled section of the city.
During the past week DIR. Fowler's
corps OF inspectors. aided by the po-
lice. have served notices on more than
100 owners Of land. The law gives
the >owner stated period from
receipt of the notice in which to have
the weeds cut.

Bearing the heavy traffic of farm
trucks from the Maryland section
nurrh OF Washington, and also the
heavy automobile tourist travel from
the west. Wisconsin avenue from the
District line to Massachusetts ave-
nue. is showing the effect by the
rough condition of the road surface.
For the most part. the road is
rough, owing to the wary condition
Of the surface. although there are
but few bad ruts in 1t. However, the
street car tracks, particularly be-
tween River road and the District
line, are bad making II dangerous
for an automobilist to have to take
to them to let another car pass.
Another aggravated condition is the
deep gutter on. the east side of the
avenue. north of River road. which
makes it very dangerous for an auto
mobile at night, as slight turn
would result in the overturning OF
a car. Near the gutter the concrete
has begun to break into d few ruts.
use this unless the traffic is heavy
and it is necessary to move over to
permit another car to pass.
This roadway Is comparatively mar
row for tourist feeder into city.
and there is ample parking space on
the east side north OF the River road
for widening. This feeder leads to
Massachusetts avenue and thence
down into the heart of the city.
Like other thoroughfares leading
into and out of the city. tourists get
a good humping while coming in to
zee their National Capital. Expendi-
,ture of sufficient funds for repaving
and the laying of road foundation
in keeping with the modern automo-
bile traffic is needed, it was pointed
out. to keep this thoroughfare from
becoming rutty and the surface in a
waving condition.

ruts which apparently are receiving

drive an automobile over this road.
While the road ends at the District
line. and there is no continuing road
into Maryland, this avenue does carry
fair traffic to American University
and TO homes in that section. which
is growing fast.

9TH VIRGINIA DISTRICT.
Negro Vote Not q Factor in the Re-
publican Zone.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
am a regular reader and a great
admirer of The Star, but I beg to
be allowed space to dispute the ac-
curacy of certain statements made
recently in editorials concerning Vir-
ginia politics.
In Saturdays issue. in the editorial
touching upon Mr.. Slemps retire
ment in the ninth district, you say
that "elsewhefe in the state (outside
of the ninth) the democrats have al
ways had easy sailing" AS matter
of fact, while 1t is true that the ninth
is the only district that has been rep
years. the fight has always been
fairly close in the fifth and seventh
districts. The democratic majority
there is usually less than the repub-
lican majority in the ninth And in
the last election G92O) the vote was
SO close in the seventh district that
State Senator John Paul, the repub-
lican nominee. contested the election,
and the House elections committee
has recently reported in favor of
Mr.. Paul. so that. while the House
has not acted upon the report as yet.
1t probably amounts to the seating
of the republican candidate. Hence.
although Mr.. Harrison. the demo-
cratic incumbent. has held his seat
in the House since 1920. II appears
that the district actually went repub-
lican.
In your editorial some weeks ago
entitled 'Slemp or Slump" you
imply that Mr.. S4emp is not retiring
from Congress SO much on account of
his health. as he says, but from fear
of defeat this year. which you attrib-
ute to his support of the lilly
white" candidate for governor last
year. and consequent loss of the
negro vote. You say: without the
negro vote he (Mr. Slemp) could not
win This is hardly fair to Mr..
Slemp and has no basis of fact. The
negro vote in southwest Virginia
(the ninth district) is so small as to
be negligible. If there were enough
negroes there to affect the result
the democrats. who control the cleo
ton machinery throughout the state.
would have long since seen to it that
they were properly disfranchised. as
they are in eastern Virginia and
throughout the south. where they
form a large percentage of the popu-
lation. The most overwhelmingly
democratic localities are invaria bly,
those where the negro population is
greatest. In the ninth Virginia dis
trict negroes and negro votes cut no
figures. are never an issue and never

EMPLOYEES OF SOUTHERN

President Harrison's Appeal De-

Duty to Strikers.

Telegraphic appeals were sent by
Fairfax Harrison. president of the

ployes of the road, asking for assist
ance in the endeavor TO maintain '.un-
impaired transportation service" not
withstanding the strike, according to

declared in the kilograms that the
Southern had more than fulfilled" it's
duty to striking shopmen in endeavor-
ing to get them to return to work un-
der the terms of President Harding's
strike settlement offers.
Mr.. HarriSon's statement, addressed
"to all employees of Southern railway
system" follows:
II have delayed communicating with
you, hoping that / could finally report
that our shop crafts had returned un-
embarrassed to their former positions.
Striving for this result, no conditions
have been created to prevent the re-
turn of our men with seniority rights
unimpaired but the door has been, and
now is, open and unobstructed to them
On August your shop crafts COM
mittee was invited to confer with
our officials 10 consider the return of
our men upon the terms proposed by
the President on July 81 and subse-
Quently accepted by the national rep
resentatives Of such crafts. After
the committee agreed to meet our
officials on August 5. on which day
they asked postponement to August
z. and then asked further postpone
ment of today. Though recognizing
the efforts Of this company in the
protection of the seniority of our
men, We are told this morning by
your committee that they will make
no adjustment with Southern railway
system. as the strike is national and
must be settled nationally.
Our duty Is to our employees, the
public and the company; the duty to
our striking employees we have more
than fulfilled and 1 now call upon you,
whatever is your occupation, to as
sist the management in performing
its duty also to the public and to the
company. This obligation calls for un-
impaired transportation service and
