The latest news from Chairman Garter,
of the Republican National Committee,
IS that the hearing on the place of the
next National Convention will be held in
Washington in the middle of December
instead of during October. as has been
previously announced. This is because
many members of the committee are also
members of Congress, and do not care to
go TO Washington until its session begins.

Guttenburg. Gloucester and Monmouth

respective arrangements defied the law,
bribed its officers, ruined countless men
and women. who. but for the temptations
held out to them, might Today be reputable

opposing moralists to combat in councils

whelming defeat for the rascalS who had

There is doubtless much of discourage

Union. Up to within two three years
ago the opportunities of criminals DESTROYS
OF evading arrest We're much more plentiful
than they now are; condition which was
due to the fact that jealousy was often a
conspicuous feature in police existence.
1t was quite frequently the case that the
chief of police of one city found enjoyment
in the discontinue of officers who bad
come from some other city for the pun pose
of capturing an offender who had taken
refuge within a jurisdiction that should
not have been, but nevertheless was, a

ences of opinion to methods of procedure
and generally tangled up state of affairs
that disguised everybody but the criminals.

changed. and instead of the pulling and
hauling in opposite directions, which Were
SO common even receltly, there is subordi-

make things as uncomfortable as possible
for the evil-doer. That the visitors will
have pleasant time at the national capt.

cations which hold their sessions here.
That they may add to their professional

If the gamblers who are permitted to

1t, may not be wise for those in power to
go too fast nor too far in Furnishing Admiral
Meade for the breach of official etiquette
involved in publicly declaring that he is an
American and a Union man, and not in
sympathy with some of the policies of the
present administration. There are a good
many people who are holding the same
views just now, and to sharply discipline a
gallant sailor for that sort of thing might
tend to call public attention to him in a
way that would make the dscipinarians
regret their action If their desire is to de-
grade and not to honor him. The country

Quite remarkable Is the conclusion that
seems to have been reached in the North
east Washington Citizens Association with
reference to the methods to be used in
dealing with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company. Agreeing with the District
Commissioners-or a majority of them-the
association, speaking through its pres
ident, Is apparently en- record de-
Ginning to accept safeguards. for which 1t
has pettioned. simply because they are
voluntarily proffered by the company in
stead of being compelled into existence by
the force of law. No person in the District
of Columbia regrets more deeply than does
The Star the shortcomings that so fire.
quently become evident in our local laws,
and no person or combination of persons
has ever worked more assiduously to bring
about what is conceded to be necessary
amendment than has The Star. Persist
entity taking advantage of every opportut-
ity The Star has argued in behalf of every
reform in the railroad situation demanded
by the association in question, and 1t
warmly advocated the viaduct plan of relief
of the srade-crossings evil even before this
energetic and useful association was
formed.
Whatever may have been the wisest
course when the Commissioners believed
that they had full power under the law
to compel the railroad to erect safety
gates. now that this power has been jul
dicialy denied The Star cannot understand
why there should be any hesitation on the
part of the Commissioners to accept the
companys fence-building and gate-operat-
ing proposition. If the offer is still open for
acceptance. and 1t cannot understand why
the Northeast Washington Citizens Associ-
ation-whose members are Immediately the
sufferers because there is lack of fencing
and y-gates-should sacrifice valuable
interests for the sake of a sentiment that
has not behind 1t or beneath it the support
of even semhlance of a principle. 1t may
be that in the rear future Congress will
give us legislation in which the interests
OF the people of Washington and not those
of the railroad shall be the prevailing con-
sderation. Would that legislation in
any degree be delayed by acceptance
of the company's offer to provide
voluntarily certain safeguards which
according to the courts the present
law cannot compel it to provide: In
substance the railroad has indicated an ap-
parent willingness to put in fences and safe
ty gates wherever Commissioner Ross rs
arbiter shall determine that they are neces-
sary. What compromise of principle Is in
volved in testing the sincerity of this offer?
How would the voluntary erection of safety
gates tend more strongly to delay viaduct
legislation than their compulsory erection,
for which the association pleaded and
which the Commissioners ordered? If
any lives are lost through the absence
of safetygates before Congress can act will
not the railroad be able to shift part of
the responsibility for the bloodshed upon
the Commissioners and the association:
