..The Man ON Horseback. -

The address delivered by Mr.. Watterson
before the Virginia Democratic Association
Monday night Is subjecting him In some
quarters to rather sharp criticism. His ref
erences to the President are characterized
as unwarranted and disrespec.ful This Is
taking matters far too seriously. Mr.. Wat
terson should be judged according to his
temperament, his talents, his purposes, and
the difficulties that surround him He
4 thinks and writes In well-rounded superla-
ttyes. He is a rhetorician. He Is engaged
at present in preparing campaign material
Tor divided party. and is diligently search
ing for whatever may be serviceable for
both factions As a sound money man and
an expansionlst, he Is not In touch with the
Bryanites, and so seeks to hide the whole
Of Organism and raise up something in Its
stead. II is by no means an easy job, and
IL In his labors Mr.. Watterson INDUCES In
language or sentiments not exactly caIcu-
lated for the meridian of a great capital,
let him be judged not too severely. There
Is more Pickwickianism in our politics than
Is dreamt Of m the ordinary philosophy.
Mr.. Watterson, in reply to one OF his
critics, refers to General Grant as having
prefgured. as he thinks Mr.. Roosevelt also
is doing. the Man on Horseback And

Mai. Sylvester on the Right Track, :,

Major Sylvester has met the public ex-
pectations by his emphatic approval of
the action Of the policeman who caused
the arrest the other evening OF the congress
sional owner of a too speedy automobile
AS the chief of police says, the people must
be brought to understand the regulations
The best way to bring this about is by their
impartial enforcement, and not by permit
ting the impression to obtain that there are
loop-hoies for certain classes. In any case
the public will watch with interest the out
come of the chiefs inquiries into the affair
especially his request for enlightenment as
to the reason why the orderly processes
were overturned In this instance while
other offenders against whom charges are
filed are compelled to go to the trouble and
expense Of defending themselves In court.
If the law is to be administered in the sta
tion houses. in order to spare citizens an
noyance and embarrassment and loss Of
time, the system should prevail in every
precinct and for the benefit Of everybody.

Regulate the Advertising Freaks

The proposed police regulation to restrict
| the nuisance of freak advertising devices in
the public streets is worthy of serious con-
| sideratfon and. IL no legal obstacles appear,
of prompt adoption and enforcement. The
| streets of Washington, in common with
those of other large cities. are seldom with
| out some such atrocious innovations de-
| signed to attract attention to pills, cigars
foods or nostrums Some of them are anus
ing, some are offensive, others merely
| of indifferent merit as advertising devices,
but all are Objectionable in the sense that
they employ public places for the expioita-
ton of wares without rendering any return
to the community or being in any degree
amenable to the police regulations. The
proposed rule requires that all such enter
prises be prohibited unless granted special
| permission by the authorities. This would
give the officials supervision over the char
acter of the signs to be borne about the
city and the devices employed for their
transportation. Nothing should be permit
ted which serves questionable moral pur-
pose, such as the exploitation of remedies
for certain classes of disease Nor should
any be allowed the freedom of the streets
which may frighten horses. such as giant
hgures or dazzlingly lighted vehicles. The
proper limit OF tolerance can easily be
found and applied without causing any
hardship to legitimate interests. If all are
brought within the requirements of good
sense and good taste no one will have an
advantage over another.
While the Commissioners are considering
this matter they may we'll take up that
of the offensive bill posters which disfigure
the city. Here and there about Washing
ton giant boardings are being erected pre-
senting hundreds of thousands of square
feet upon which the most hagrantly mar
| tlstic and Objectionable signs are to be
pasted. 1t may be that under the law and
the trend of custom this method of making
business announcements. is legitimate and
permissible, but there should surely be
some means of restriction, so that the au-
thorities can exercise a wholesome juris-
diction over. them. Employing the outer
lines of parkings. they in measure utilize
the public spaces and are properly subject
| to some form and degree of taxation The
example Of those cities both in this coun-
try and Europe which have adopted
license tax system might profitahly be
emulated here. If the Commissioners find
that the blanket law authorizing them to
adopt police regulations falls to cover the
case, they should apply to Congress for
specific legislation in the form of a poster
law, regulating the size and ARRANGEMENT
OF the boardings and imposing fee upon
all posters.

Automobiline,
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.


The attempts made to regulate the speed
Of automobiles in cities and on suburban
driveways are meeting opposition from
some Of those who indulge in this sport. It
Is claimed that the restrictions placed on
the running Of these machines by bills now
before state legislators will ruin the
business by discouraging purchasers If
there are unjust restrictions In these bills
they should be corrected. No onerous con-
ditions should be placed on automobiling
any more than on other trades and sports.
But at the same time the safety and vel
fare Of the general public should be looked
after And it Is the fault OF pioneers In
all branches of sport that they are liable
to overdo things. 1t was so in bicycling; it
Is so in automobiling, and it doubtless will
be so in ballooning If Santos-Dumont sue
ceeds in making flying practicable Auto
mobilists must remember that there are
several thousand people to each automo-
bilist and that while it Is inspiring to look
from safe distance at an automobile
dashing down Lancaster avenue at the
rate Of twenty miles an hour 1t is not a
humorous affair to those who are on the
street and In the way Of the machine It
Is against the rash and not against the
discreet automobilfsts that legislation is
now proposed -

in the White House no writer for the
American press dealt with him more ag-
gressively than Mr. watterson. Epigrams
in the Kentucky editors best style were
hurled at the hero of Appomattox. The
most generous Of conquerors was fitted out
with many of the attributes Of Caesar.
But when General Grant, after retiring to
private life, had toured the world and was
on hts way across the continent to his
home in New York. the Kentucky people,
who had never supported him for the presi-
dency. insisted on his stopping and shaking
their hands. He did so was entertained in
Louisville, and Mr.. watterson was his host
and of course did the honors handsomely
The former despot ana his former assail-
ant shook hands cordially, and enjoyed each
others society hugely.
Now, in the light OF this what is as
likely as anything In the world? What but
this? That after Mr.. Roosevelts time In
the White House has expired-whether 1t
be in 1895 or 1909 does not signify-and he
is once again a private citizen. he too may
swing around the circle. and among thou
sands of invitations receive one to visit
Kentucky. That he would accept is a GER
tainty. That he would enjoy himself is
equally certain. and that his host would be

that the versatile editor will then be, as he
was In General Grants day, the most dis
distinguished citizen of his commonwealth
And there would be great time at table.
With Mr.. Roosevelt on his right hand and
the ghost of Julius Caesar on his left Mr.
Watterson would be in his element.
Some people are too curious. They invade
privacy. Here is Mr.. Watterson making up
for his part in one of, the most spirited of
campaigns and he is we'll entitled to decide
as to what is demanded. If he puts on the
paint little profusely and uses the feath-
ers little abundantIy he will pay the PEN

tensely exciting scenes in the court room.
The whole case of the prosecution rested
upon the testimony of the seIf-confessed
murderer, who, it seems, had been prom
ised no immunity from later punishment
If found guilty Of the crime.
Such criminals as Patrick has now been
formally declared to be are among the most
dangerous in the whole range Of eviI-doing.
The man who plots against the life OF an
other whom he has no reason to fear or to
hate, seeking only his wealth, is on lower
plane of villainy than the man who slays
solely out of passion. The thief who kills
as he plumbers is less dangerous. Patrick,
IL guilty, as the jury has now declared, is
the type Of the f1endish conspirator who
thinks to conceal his own personality while
using the hand Of another. That other of
course, Is grossly guilty, and. weakening
later and confessing, he incurs the double
charge Of crime and faithlessness. The
community can think no whit the better of
the man who permitted himself to be used
as the tool Of death because he betrayed
his principal. Yet without his aid the real
ly dangerous man, whose cunning mind
conceived the crime, could never have been
convicted. The question yet to be answered
is whether this act Of betrayal should ma
tcrially soften the punishment OF the slayer.
While it is possible. under such circum-
stances that the valet may have been sys
tematicaliy lying to convict Patrick, there
appears to be but little motive tor such
horrible mendacity. If no crime was actu-
ally committed, if the victim died natural
death, there would be no occasion for all
this complex accusation, not even the de-
sire of the valet to punish Patrick Tor a
private reason. If the valet killed him on
his own account the will and checks have
not suggested the possibility. Under the
circumstances the theory of the prosecu-
ton. which the jury adopted with little
hesitation, seems as plausible as any.

The Names Wreck.

General Woods proposition that the
wreck Of the old Maine be removed from
the harbor OF Havana should meet with
early response from Congress IN the form
OF sufficient appropriation for this pur-
pose. The Names twisted deck beams have
become painful reminder of a tragedy the

futile diplomatic negotiations, which could
have eventually ended only in war In any

destruction Of the Maine, while costing the
United States dearly, saved both this coun-

this country because of the Maine nor, or
