Traffic Report.

Fhe question OF one-way streets has
been reopened in a report which the
traffic committee has handed to the
Commissioners. and it is intimated
that final action will not be taken on
the recommendations made in this re.
port until a public hearing has been
held. The traffic committee comes 10

servation of traffic in the one-way
streets recently approved. 1t finds
that the one-way flow is operating
successfully, but that the situation
might be improved by changes which

with what seem TO be
sound reasons The committee would
extend the one.way traffic rule on 18th
and 18th streets north 10 Mass1-

streets being Is street. Thirteenth
street between e and F would be

Cross-town Bus Line.

The Capital Traction railway begins
the operation of a cross-town bus line
from 18th and NJ streets southeast to
Az and streets southwest. The bus
is growing in favor and fills a need.
Independent systems are doing good
business and electric traction lines of
the capital are extending bus lines as
feeders" and these are carrying
many passengers who pay the straight
bus fare and do not take transfers
to the rail lines. The inauguration of
a branch line of busses for serving
territory at an inconvenient distance
from car tracks is less difficult than
building track extensions. 1t costs
much less and it is easier to get au-i
thority to run busses than to lay
tracks. Many residents object to
line Of busses on their street, but the
objection is mild compared with that
which would generally be raised
against a proposal to lay car tracks
The new cross.town line between
southeast and southwest serves a sec
tlOn tnat seriously needs pubic trans.
port facilities and which has felt the
need for many years. 1t is worth
recalling that something like forty
years ago, when Washington was per-
haps less than half as populous as
now, there was demand for cross
town street car service through the
section now served by the new bus
line. In obedience to that demand

where cars might pass was built from

trivialities. In 1918 a man was ac-
cused before a justice of the peace
of cruelty to animals. He had been
hailed to court for beating and tor
turing a chicken" which he found
trespassing on his own premises. He
was found guilty and fined So. He
appealed the case and it went on up
through the higher reaches Of the law
until it has just been finally disposed
of by a dismissal.

is frequent expression. And it is
true. The courts of Europe. notably
Of England. are more speedy and the
sieves, so to speak. are finer and keep
IN their proper range the minor cases
and prevent congestion in the higher
Jurisdictions. This three-dollar chicken
case could never have lasted five years
in d foreign court. 1t should not have
lasted as many hours in this country.

The Tombs Of the Presidents.

Decision has been reached that the
body OF President Harding shall be
inferred at Marion, Ohio, the scene
Of his life work until he entered the
public service as senator, the place he
knew as home. This is in keeping
with the tradition that the Chief Ex-
ecutives of the land, even though they
native soil, or in the place of their
personal residence. AS d consequence
no President of the United States is
entombed here at the Capital, the
scene of the labors of all of them, with
which their names are identified in
history.
1t has been frequently urged that
this be changed and that the bodies
of the Presidents should rest here at
the Capital. This matter was dis.
cussed at the time of the death of
Ulysses S. Grant. who. though a ma
tive of Illinois, died in New York state,
of which he had become a citizen after
leaving the presidency. Though it
was more appropriate that Gen. Grant
be buried here he was inferred in New
York city, where his tomb is notab BILE
landmark and memorial.
1t is doubtless best that the bodies
of those who have held the presiden.
tial office should rest i'll the soil from
which they sprang, or which they
trod in their lives out of office. The
presidency is a duty TO which Ameri.
can citizens are assigned in success
sion, citizens drawn from the ranks
of the people, from the different states.
They come TO Washington as from the
people of all the states, sent here to
duty is done, usually to rejoin their
fellow citizens, though sometimes go
ing to other states where brighter op-
portunity offers.
Five Of the former Presidents OF
the United States rest in Virginia, five
in New York, four i'll Ohio three in
Tennessee, two in Massachusetts and
one each in Kentucky, New Hamp-
shire, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jer-
sey and Indiana. Now Ohio will re-.
ceive the fifth of its sons who have
come here to serve and who either
during or after service have passed
from life.
Wherever these tombs rise, in what
ever state, they are shrines for Ameri-
cans. no less than though they were

Grated on that line for a good many
years, but it was abandoned when the
Anacostia and Potomac River railway
got authority to lay out a new route
and built double track and operated
wo-horse cars along southeast 11th
street, southeast G. and then by a
route north and west over various
streets to Center market. Cars OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
pass over that route today. The new
busses are travelling over a part of
the route of the old single-track, one

they are serving the same section of
the city which those little yellow bob.

Motor bus service is comparatively

The 12-Hour Day Passing.

The end of the twelve hour day in
the steel industry is close at hand
When Judge Gary. chairman Of the
United States Steel Corporation and
president of the American Iron and
Steel Institute, said that the twelve
hour day would be abolished in the
steel trade as soon as could be, there
was an important proviso or a big "if";
in the promise. He said that the
change would be made as rapidly as
the supply of labor would permit, and
that in making the change from
twelve to eight hours there would be
no unnecessary delay. The statement
was seized on as the preface to an
effort by the steel trust" and the in
dependents to obtain a large supply
Of foreign labor, and it was suggested
that the steel men were contemplat.
ing an attack ON the immigration
law. II is now reported from New
York that the executives of the
United States Steel Corporation subsi-
diaries and independent companies
represented in the American Iron and
Steel Institute sped homeward today
to take immediate steps to eliminate
the twelve-hour day in the industry,
as decided upon at a meeting here Of
the directors of the institute"
The proposed reform when made
will go far toward softening public
opinion of the steel industry. What
effect the coming change will have
on the struggle between unionism and
the open shop in the steel industry, is
a question.

Congestion in American courts is

gestion is due to a disposition to liti,
cation and to the slowness of pro-

upon one in sort of kaleid-

were privileged to know Mr.. Hard
ing more or less intimately, as the
writer was, there is one great out
standing impression of his occupancy
or the White House. 1t was his
wonderful respect for the Preside Mt
OF the United States.
Warren Harding did not believe
that the presidency was but a vehicle
TO forward the inordinate ambitions
OF an individual. He did not believe
tnat the power of the presidency was
thing to be welded against ones
enemies. He spoke always of the

himself as but q humble man with

Mr.. Harding was a great stickler
for orderliness. He always wanted
to do what he considered "the becom-
ing thing" The words "seemly" and
sweet" were often on his tongue
He did not like to hurt the feelings of
even the most lowly person about
him.
recall that there was a great mys-
tery once a Marion in the period be
tween the election and the Inaugural
tion OF Mr.. Harding. The President
elect and Mrs. Harding were going to
Cleveland. They thought they could
slip away from the newspapermen-
possibly even get away from the Sc
! cret service operatives who were al
ready on the job guarding the new
EXecutiye-to- be. There was great
surprise therefore when one of the
correspondents casually remarked:
What are you going to Cleveland
for today. SENATOR"
Mr.. Harding was obviously an
noyed.
IF any of you fellows go with me
to Cleveland. or mention my going
you will incur mountains of displeas
ure," shot back the President elect
The mystery of the whole thing
puzzled the correspondents. They
thought the visit must have some
great political significance back of it
But it leaked out at last that the
President was going to Cleveland to

that his going be kept a secret so as

Rides in somber garb with flag half mast
The valiant, kindly hand that steered true

The Universal Song.

There's just one little tune that huns
When you afar have strayed.
No matter what new music comes,
BY Art or Nature made.
The songs that in the woods abound,
The murmuring of the sea
Are varied strangely-yet they sound
Like Home, Sweet Home" to me.
Even the fierce mosquitoes tone
Stirs pathos in the heart
And lifts the warning all his own
That calls you to depart.
The locust, whose lament has drowned
The humming Of the bee
Have different meanings-but they
sound
Like Home. Sweet Home" to me.

In Memoriam: Warren G. Harding

Our nation grievcs for him. President
And many more, throughout this worn world,
Do mourn with today.
With heavy hearts go varied ways.
And strive do the thing the hour demands.
Knowing his kindly voice and friendly smile
Shall light paths
But he hath left with a heritage
OF duty done and noble heights attained,
OF kindliness for all, or high or low,
That doth grief assuage our hearts inspire,
And makes the world better place to live.
But now mourn and shed our tears OF grief,
For loss of one 50 brave, sweet, so true,
Whose noble presence, gentle gracious ways
Had crept beyond the barriers of our souls
And filled hearts with love.
A noble, kindly, Christ-like gentleman!
Whose utmost thought always to assuage
The and OF his fellow man;
Maintain his country's heritage of right,
And lead the world into the paths OF peacel
Into the Hall of Fame his shall go,
And take its place with others who have served
Their country well in its dark hour of need;
Fit comrade of our Lincoln, Washington!
The peer of all who died in freedoms cause.
