1t will be argued that there are
many extremely able women in pub
lie life, and at the head Of important
social organizations. who have dem

offices.
II will also be argued that some
of the worlds greatest rulers have
been women. England made very
remarkable progress during the A
years when Elizabeth was queen Of
that country. and ruled it with
strong hand. Catherine the Great
ruled Russia as Empress for "a
years, and is called one of the most
remarkable rulers of modern, times.
Russia was transformed into a very
powerful nation under her reign.

WITH THE PASSING of two SEN

WITH THE PASSING of two Sen
ate Bills by the House of Represen
tatiVes on Wednesday, followed by
the endorsement of n House Bill by
the same body later in the after
noon, Governor Buck saw almost
the completion of his 1885 legisla-
ton program. The Senate Bills
above referred to provide in sub
stance that all County highways in
the State shall be taken over and
maintained by the State Highway
Department after July 1st next, and
that the Levy Courts of the three
counties shall reduce the county tax
rates materially because of the re-
Jurisdiction. The House Bill, which
has probably passed the Senate by
the time this is read, provides for
an additional one cent tax on gaso-
line. This money is TO be used by
the State Highway Department in
maintaining the county roads given
into their care.
After careful consideration of all
angles we believe that the new
legislation is a step in the right di-
Tection. While there are those in
both parties who feel that the legis-
latiOn is not necessary, it is con-
ceded by even the opponents of the
new laws that better maintenance !
of all State roads will be had under |
the State Highway system. This /
the opponents did not dispute when
the measures we're up for final con-
sideraliOn. There are some Repub-
lican leaders in New Castle and
Sussex Counties, and some Demo-
cratic leaders in Kent County who
believe that party control for their
respective parties in the several
counties will be lost through the
enactment of the new statutes. This.
like most prophecies. will probably
be found false in actnality.
Whatever the final outcome, the
present State administration must

avs. and to so administer them II

GIFT OF NATIONAL AFFECTION

! The late Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes did something quite out OF
the ordinary. when he left more than
half his estate to the United States
Government. without restrictions or
limitations. 1t was an act of affec-
ton and faith that we rarely see
manifested in American life.
The old hymn of America" began
with the words MY country tits of
thee, sweet land of liberty, OF thee
sing" The man who wrote those
verses did not merely look at his
country as a good place to make a
living in. as place where more ad-
vantages are 10 be had than in other
lands. He looked at the country as
a thing to be loved.
Countless other patriots have
grown up with that feeling. They
have idealized their country. Said
the poet LOngfellow:
Humanity with all its fears.
With all the hopes of future years. |
Is hanging breathless on thy fate"
Some such thought must have
moved the spirit of Justice Holmes,
o make this liberal gift TO his coun-
ry. In his mind he must have con-
eived our country as a great force
II generous aspiration. an expression
f desire for the welfare of the peO-
lie. He saw the perils confronting
ur country, but he believed with all
is heart in that country. and in its
pirit of good will and in IFS great ,
istOry.
He perhaps thought that a gener- Z
ls gift to the country would not
erely assist some useful national \
stitutiOn TO which the gift will be
'plied, but would help renew the ;
it'll of others in the country, and
spire people with a spirit of pa
Iotic devotion. With such feelings, G

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 6
G.N.SO.-Huey P. Long has fired
what political observers believe to

terly berating President Roosevelt,
the Louisiana Senator defied the

which is said to be growing against
him, as we'll as the opposition he
thinks he will get from national
politicians.
He shouted:

kibOOdle (meaning President
RoOsevelt.) I don't want to go

He again accused President
Roosevelt of taking" the people
and then tried to explain his fill
buster which killed the social Sc
curity bill. a bill whose general
principles he had advocated.
Long said he filibustered against
the bill in order to force a 12-cent

Baron Pompeo Aloisi, head of the

ruptly walked out of the session
today as Bedjurond Tecle Hawa-
rate, Ethiopian delegate, took his

Carrying out the Italian deter

similar gesture of yesterday and
made it plain negotiations will be

Agrees to Committee
Baron Aloisi had been present
at the start of the session, but
walked out as soon as the ETH.
opian delegate was invited to take
a seat. Italy is a member of the
council. Ethiopia is not.
The Philippians left the council
table after conclusion Of discus
sion of the Italo-Ethiopian ques-
ton, and then Baron AloiSi re-
turned to his seat.
The incident, nonetheless dra-
matte because of it's repetition,
came after Italy had made her
first capitulation at the current
crucial session of the council.
Italy agreed to accept appoint
ment of a committee of five ma
lions, including France and Great
Britain. to examine the Ethiopian
complaint to the League and the
italian rejoinder.
Committee Chosen
Appointment of the committee
to handle the critical problem was
decided upon yesterday. but the
move early struck a snag as Italy
objected to participation by Bri-
tain and France, which she
termed as interested parties" in
the dispute because of their par
ticipation with Italy in the treaty

Death
Blame Is

International News Service

A major political repercussion
against the Administration rival
ling the aftermath of former Presi-
dent Hoover's eviction of the
Bonus Army" was feared here
today as a result of the mounting
death toll among World War vet
Grams in the hurricane-SWept
FERA camps in Florida.
Harry L. Hopkins, FERA head,
hurriedly sent Aubrey Williams,
his principal aide. to the devaS-
tated area. Funds were being
hastily released for paying ex'
penses of the veterans and other
costs, the total of which has not
been calculated yet.
Mr.. Hopkins went to New York
today to confer with President
Roosevelt at Hyde Park regard
ing protests over failure to evacu-
ate the veterans from the camps.
On direct orders of President
Roosevelt every effort OF the varl'
GUS government agencies was cen
tered in ameliorating a situation
which admittedly is becoming in
creasingly black.
Blamed Weather Reports
Mr.. Hopkins characterized the
occurrence as "a shocking disas-

countermanding orders were given
by his force to previous arrange

CORRECTION

In the various editions Of
The Washington Times on
September 2. 1895, an article
appeared with reference to
the fatal shooting of Ray.
mond o. Conrad by David L.
DePass. In this article it
was enormously stated, Five
held in fatal shooting" and
that William Lancaster, of
the 5000 block of Hutchins
Pl. N. w., was a guest at the
fatal party and was one of
the persons held by the
police.
The facts are, as testified
to by Mr.. Lancaster at the
inquest into Conrad's death,
and as appears in the vari-
GUS editions of The Times on
September 4, 1885, that Mr..
Lancaster was not one of the
five persons arrested and
held and was not a member
Of the party.
On the contrary. he was
on duty with No. 20 Engine
Company which is near the
scene of the shooting, at
which place Conrad ap-
preached him and asked for
a club or piece of pipe say
ing he was going to murder
four men," Mr.. Lancaster
promptly notified the police
of the incident and was of
great assistance to the police
later in identifying Conrad
as the man who was seeking
the club or pipe.

grets the error.
