Stop the Cranks From Coming.

1t is a striking fact that most of the so
called cranks who have visited the White
House during the past few months have
been from out of town. Indeed, practi-
cally without exception these annoying
bearers of petitions and proposals have
journeyed here from distance FOR the
purpose of laying their complaints or de-
rnands or suggestions before the President.
1t is fairly to be assumed that these men
have In a majority OF cases talked about
their errands before starting OF while on
their way The impulse to come to Wash
ington to discuss personal grievances with
the President does not ordinarily come sud
denly to a man, however deranged he
may be.
Why Is it. therefore, that these people
are permitted to come here? If they are
palpabIy unbalanced they should be re-
strained at home. 1t is. of course, no crime
for a man to want to see the President,
nor is it a sign of insanity to proclaim a
purpose TO lay certain matter before him
But it should not require an exceptionally
keen intellect to discern the signs OF mental
affiiction in a majority of the cases which
have lately been handled by the local
police.
Peter Elliot. the Scandinavian who came
here from Minneapolis few weeks ag,
and made such a violent disturbance at the
White House. had talked freely of his pur-
poses before coming. Yet no warning was
sent TO Washington. He was himself 1al
more considerable than were his neighbors

nose to visit the President and inclosing his

save the guardians of the White House
much trouble and would prehaps prevent
The recurrence of such scenes as that which
ensued upon Elliot's call. 1t is in the high
est degree desirable to keep the cranks
AWAY from the President, and no effort
should be abated in any part of the coun-
try to this end

The Scorcher Evil.

The Post of this city believes that The
Star is squandering good deal OF time
and energy upon the question or dangerous
automobiles. 1t thoroughly indorses the
Stars contentious that the streets are hour
ly the scene of reckless motoring. and that
human life is constantly imperiled by rea-
son of the enterprise and lawlessness OF
the chauffeurs. But, says the Post, the
matter is now all arranged. The Commits
sioners have granted the chauffeurs licenses,
and
What are you going to do about it? The
authorities have acted.
The Star believes that the regulations
were not sufficiently stiffened when last
they were under consideration. 1t APP
proved the proposition to number the ma
chimes in order to secure identification, but
it foresaw the disposition of the wealthy
scorchers to ignore the law and to regard
their fines as a mere addition to the cost
of maintenance. a trihe of no weight COM
pared with the purchased privilege of an
occasional dash at full speed. Consequently
this paper urged that the rules include a
provision FORGETTING the license after the
chauffeur had violated the law a certain
number of times. This suggestion was not
needed If adopted the rule to this effect
would have been brought into operation
several times. Only the other day young
man who had been arrested in the morning
was arrested again in the afternoon for an
even graver offense. His total penalty for
both offenses was $50. with personal In
convenience other than two visits TO the
nearest station house.
But The Star does not believe that the
situation is to be remedied by remaining
silent. even though its advice was not taken
by the Commissioners in this respect. 1t
daily notes the liberties which the chauf-
feurs are taking with the law, and believes
that by emphatically calling public atten-
ton to them 1t can accomplish, perhaps,
one of two things, either aroused state
of Indignation on the part of the careful
automobiles against their reckless breth-
rem. to the end of enlisting this great force
on the side of the public safety, or a change
of the official judgment with respect to the
forfeiture proposition incidentally 1t hopes
to see the laws fully enforced, the maxi
mum penalties applied and the abandon
ment of the present vicious practice of ac-
cepting low collateral and allowing Offend
ers to escape without other annoyance or
punishment which obtains in the Police
Court and at the station houses
Whoever may be today responsible for
the dangers in the streets from these ma
chimes, it is not the intention of The Star to
remain silent and content itself with say
ing 81 told you So while the people are
being shocked manned or threatened with
sudden death by reckless lawbreakers

Santa Claus.
From the Baltimore American.


Christmas is coming again. Only those
who have presents to purchase or prepare,
or both. know just how rapidly. To the
child the festival day creepS and crawls
with leaden pace. and bids fair never to ar
rive. Some day it will be different. He or
she will live through whole eventful years
that will seem far shorter than does a
single day the of the greatest and
most universally celebrated holiday.
Apropos of the approach of that great
festival some ultra moraliSts will begin
again to agitate the question to the
right or wrong of teaching or sanctioning
the Santa Claus illusion. That there exists
no fesh-and- blood Individual of that name
has disturbed d great many hypercritical
and morbidly conscientious persons, and
has caused them to bewai the "depravity"
that characterizes those who teach such
"wretched untruths,' such "blasphemy" to
children. Right here let it be said that
people with that idea of right and wrong
do more to demoralize the world than all
the outbroken sinners in 1t. They nauseate
those who would otherwise hunger for
righteousness.
