HIGH COURTS POWER
DEFENDED BY GORE
Former Senator Speaks to Lions
Club-Lauds Party System
of Government.

The powers of the United States
Supreme Court were defended and the
party system of government declared
to be the best ever devised by man"
by former Senator Thomas 2. Gore in
an address before the Lions Club at
luncheon in the Willard Hotel.
The club, a non-political organiza-
ton, has arranged for n series of ad-
dresses by members of the different
political parties in order that its
members might hear Gree discus
zion of the situation in this country
from the viewpoints of the various
parties. Yesterday being Demo
tic day." the dining room was deco
rated for the occasion-Democratic
slogans and signs, Vote for Davis"
being muchin the limelight.
Since the Republicans came into
power, in the Is leading agricultural
States, los, 900 farmers have lost their
farms through foreclosures, while
$4,000 others have surrendered their
farms to prevent foreclosures" he
said. During Democratic administra-
tion only 189 banks failed, while dur
ing the present Republican admins
tration 1869 banks failed, he declared
The policies of the Republican ad-
i.iinistration have been largely re-
apcnsible for the economic collapse
IN Europe, he asserted.
-,rawing a comparison between the
Roosevelt presidential Progressive
party and the La Toilette party, he
said that the Roosevelt party was
largely personal, that it died out
when the man went into the back
ground, while the present Progress
sive party is built around a group
working for certain principles. The
Roosevelt party was built from the
top down, while the present Progress
sive party is built from the ground
up he said. The third party, he said,
has grown out of conditions of un-
rest and has come here to stay.
Among those present at the meet
ing were Col. Robert \. Harper,
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee; Carter Keen, president of
the John w. Davis Democratic So
ciety; Mrs. Walter Hutton, president
of the Davis Bryan Democratic Club;
Mrs. l.. II. Boggs, chairman of the ad-
visory committee of the Progressive
Democratic Society; Arthur Smith,
vice president of the Virginia Demo-
cratic Society, and other prominent
Democrats.

AIR MAIL TO LATIN
COUNTR|ESSTUD|ED
Would Link Central American
Capitals With U. S.-Route
1000 Miles Long.

An air mail service linking the
capitals of the six Central American
<epublcs and Cuba with the United
States is being discussed by the Latin
American governments with Ameri-
can officials.
The proposal has advanced to the
stage where American officials have
been designated to go over the ground
and pass on the feasibility of the
scheme These officials will conduct
preliminary negotiations with the
Central American governments, and
kppon their return to the United
states decision will be made.
After a discussion with diplomatic
representatives of the governments.
tho Post Office Department has namcG
Joseph Magec. illumination engineer
Uf the United States Air Mail Service,
and Vincent Burke of the post office
inspectors corps to make the prclim
mary investigation. They will leave
AneNt week for Panama and then
9Nisit each OF the Central American
SapitalS.
Tho route OF the proposed service
laS been tentatively marked out. Mail
lanes will leave Key West, Fla, go
o Havana, thence westward across
,'uba and the Yucatan Channel and
southwark to Guatemala City. The
distance covered from keE w est TO
Guatemala City would be about $50
miles. From there, the air mail ships
would head southcastward to San Sal
vador City. 1l0 miles away. From
there to Tegucigalpa. Honduras. is
approximately 120 miles, and from
Tcgucigalpa to Managua, Nicara qua.
is about $50 mileS-To San Jose, Costa
Isica, the distance is 220 miles more,
and from there 10 Panama, $50 miles
In all the route would be about 1000
miles.
Mail service by steamer to some of
the Central American countries is
very poor, and the officials of those
governments are anxious to improve
their facilities. American officials see
N the proposed new air mail service
an opening also for extending Ameri-
AN trade and promoting friendly re-
lations in general There would be a
shortening of the time of transit of
letters over the present means OF
communication.
The time between the countries on
stho west coast of South America also
could be considerably cut down, by
dispa tchinG between those countries
and Panama by steamer and between
Panama and the United States by air
mall.

Following the board meeting there
was a luncheon, at which Sherrard
Ewing, managing director Of the Ma
tional Association of the Travellers
Aid. and Miss Harriet Anderson, di-
rector of field activities, were the
guests of honor.
The Young Women's Christian As
sociation and the American Red Cross
are among a half dozen organizations
doing social service work that throw
their facilities to the aid of the So
ciety, and through them, according to
MT. Ewing and Miss Anderson, the
Travellers Aid Society now reaches

grown rapidly in European countries,
and there are many cases in which
travellers from Europe are trans

safeguarded until they reach their

their carts on the east side of Mount

was said at the meeting that lat all
times there are 20 to 25 pushcarts
parked along the Seventh street curb
~ the square, which not only detracts
from the beauty of the surroundings
Of the Public Library, but contributes
to the street traffic problem"
There is no doubt as to the facts
The line of pushcartS on the west side
of Seventh street or the east side OF
Mount Vernon Square, in which the
Washington Public Library stands,
transforms that section into some.
thing like an outdoor market Seventh
street is d trafficcrowded way. The
full street is needed for traffic, and the
line of pushcarts is an obstruction

said that lit is practically impossible
for the street cleaners to remove the
debris which accumulates in the gut
ters. thereby creating an insanitary
condition.
The pushcart merchants have
licenses from the District government
to carry on their business, and AS
long as the District government sells
the right to these men to sell goods in
the streets from pushcarts it should
keep it's part of the contract. The only
way to end the business against which
complaint is made would be for the
District government to refuse to
license it. There might be some COM
promise whereby the authorities
would set apart some space as a
pushcart market, but that space would
have to be public property, not used
for traffic. The authorities should
not authorize the use of street for
that purpose to the injury of abutting
private or public property.

The Langdon Grade Crossing

Another man has met death at one
of the few remaining grade crossings
in the District and again it is the
Langdon crossing that is the place of
the tragedy. Five minutes before the
man was killed by fast train the
gateman at the crossing went off
duty. the warning bell was Changing
though the man who was killed did
not seem to hear it. The list Of per-
sons killed at this crossing is a long
one. The District authorities and
railroad officials have been busy with
the work of doing away with grade
crossings but not busy enough.
1t is news to many persons that
there is even one steam railroad and
highway grade crossing in the Dis
trict. A few months ago because of
tragedies at two of three grade cross
ings on the Metropolitan branch of
the Baltimore and Ohio there was
much talk of doing away with all of
them, about five, if memory serves,
either by having the automobile roads
or new streets pass under or over the
tracks. The District and the railroad
company were to share the cost.
Money was not available to do all the
work and 1t was decided that such
crossings as could not be eliminated
would be guarded by gates, watch.
men, lights and bells and made as
safe as grade crossing could be.
In the case of the Langdon cross
ing the accident happened five min
utes after the gateman went off duty"
The inference from this is that there
is but one gateman at the crossing
and that there is a long stretch of
time. no doubt at night, when there is
no watchman to keep guard and raise
and lower the gates at that crossing.
A watchman should be there through
out the twenty-four hours until the
crossing is eliminated. THE warn
ing bell was Changing" Public ways
are used by persons who are deaf or
hard Of hearing and there are
many men and women who. in mo-
ments of absent mindedness, will walk
or drive on railroad tracks and not
hear the warning bells. The only way
to make a grade crossing safe is to
do away with it.
