On Capitol Hill
By GEORGE l.. KNAPP

Washington, D. C. GLNS) Labor
has large interest in savings banks.
Nothing in recent savings bank his
tory has keener interest than the
action just taken by the Banking De-
partment of the state of New York.
1t has ruled out $3,163, ,931 900 par
value, of railroad bonds as no longer
proper investments for savings banks
of that state.
The railroads whose bonds have
been ruled out in this way are not
bankrupt railroads. They are rail
roads still managed by their officials !;
not under the charge of trustee or
a referee in bankruptcy. The New
York Central leads the list with
$34S,134 700 of bonds no longer ac-
ceptable. The B. & 0. follows with
S325, 1894, 900; and then comes Great
Northern with $2S5,623, 900; Illinois
Central with $24S,67S,OCO; Southern
Railway with s234, 4,159,0O0; and so on
down.
The bonds of railroads in trustee
ship were ruled out as savings bank
investment before. Of these bonds of
bankrupt rails, there are about $3,481, )
100000, par value. The par value of
all railroad bonds is about $13,974,-
100000. Add the bonds of bankrupt
roads those just turned down by the
State Banking Department of New
York; and you find that rather more
than AZ per cent of all railroad bonds
outstanding are not considered safe
investments in that state.
This ought to make clear to any
one why railroad workers refuse to
patch the leaking railroad roof with
their payrolls.
On the list of bonds thrown out by
the New York banking authorities are
many that do not mature till after
1890; quite number that are to be
paid somewhere from 1894 to the year
5000; and two due in 2013. What utter
childishness this unlimited confidence
in the future now seems!

Uncle Sans birthday party this
year cost 35S lives-to date. An un-
certain proportion of things reported
as "injuries" usually turn out to be
fatal. But in the immediate total, 1877
were killed in traffic accidents, "a were
drowned, and 67 snuffed out from mis-
cellaneous accidents.
Only two of them were killed by
fireworks-which seems almost mir
acle. But Philadelphia had 800 fire
works injuries, the highest on record
and New York had S49-very far in
deed from the highest.
The automobile still is the deadliest
device of America. 1t killed about
$4,000 persons in this country last
year. At the rate of the Fourth-191
per day-it would kill 69,715 this year
That, of course, will not. occur; but
there is no evidence that the auto
death rate is going down.

WHY TEACHERS GROW OLD
YOUNG

From an anonymous source comes
the following definitions for study in
the kindergartens of 1888:
GLACIERS are guys that fix win
dows when they are broken.
COBBLE STONES are a pavement
that the people would rather are
asphalt than.
SUMMER is q season that in Win
ter you wish you could keep your
house as warm as.
STEEL WOOL is the fleece of a hy-
draulic ram.
CREAM is something that dry
cereal doesn't taste as good without
it, unless you use milk, but haven't
any.
A VOLCANO is a mountain with a
hole in the top. If you look down you
can see the creator smoking.
A DOOR KNOB is thing revolv-
ing door goes around without.

. THE THINKING APPARATUS

Pardon
Mr.. Newspaper Publisher
OF course, you are only interested
When something affects your finance
or circulation
Which may justify stopping you for
moment
While we speak of much ridiculed
democracy
With the implements which promote
its functions
This world seems very unsafe for
democracy just now
But Americans, who are Americans
first
Have a definite interest in making
America safe
For democracy
Which is why we want your at
tention just now
X X X
There was time when the railroad
magnates-
Had handy little slogan, express
ing their thought
"The public be damned" said they
For almost a century: then some
thing happened
Had it occurred to you, that some
thing like that
Could take place in the newspaper
business?
Not merely because something
comes along
Which is a better gadget, a more
clever mechanism
But because something else will af-
ford more freedom
More security to the Americans in
their essential supplies
Of those things which are the life
blood Of their democracy
X x X
One of these essential to a living de-
mocracy-
Is information, clean, straight, re-
liable, timely
That is your business, supposedly
To furnish the news, facts, accurate
ly reported
,Uncolored by opinion, as far as pos
sible-
Pictures of things as they are
In their proper perspective and re-
lations-
Given this, in steady stream
Opinions are not SO difficult to
form
By the man in the street, and the
woman in the home
X X X
Real concern for the safety of de-
mocracy in America
| Has been evidenced by few of
your clan
But your opinions in the matter,
taken as a whole
Have been pretty much repudiated
by Americans
Nor have you seemed to take that
very much to heart
1t is common knowledge
That, in the main, your opinions are
for sale
That your editorial columns and
headlines
Express the supposed or known
opinions of your advertisers

MIAMI-KEY WEST ALL STAR
GAMES POSTPONED SUNDAY
NAVY FIELD NOT IN SHAPE:
ARMY, FIELD REFUSED:
CONTESTS TO BE PLAYED
APRIL 20 AND "a

Baseball doubleheader between
the Miami ALI Stars and two Key
West All-Star teams. scheduled
for yesterday at Navy Field. was
postponed following an exchange
of kilograms Saturday between
Roy Hannlin. in charge of the Key
West teams. and J. A. Mendoza.
in charge of the Miami team.
Mr.. Hamlin wired Mendoza
that the field was not in suitable
shape. Mendoza at first agreed
to play but talks with the mem
bers of his team finally elected
the decision to postpone the
games to Sunday, April "a, when
it is believed that the field will
be in fair shape.
The field in question is hilly at
present, though well grassed, and
hardly suitable for play. Work
will be done on it during the next
two weeks, and it is believed that
it can be improved satisfactorily
for the games.
Efforts to secure the Army Bar
racks parade ground, used before
1926 by city baseball leagues, did
not materialize, Major James
MacMullen stating that if the
league teams were given permits
sion it would only be fair to let
all the other teams of the city
play there and this is not feasible.
insufficient personnel to patrol
the field during games is one of
the reasons for the decision, Ma
jor MacMullen said.
The April % and "a games will
include a diamondball game Sat
urday night and a baseball game
Sunday afternoon.
