A strike of boys employed by the
Moore Glass Company, of Clayton, N.
J., came to a sudden and inglorious
ending a day or two ago. The parents
of the boys held an investigation Of
their alleged grievances and reached
the conclusion that there was nothing
in them The boys persisted in their
right to strike. The parents gather
ed together sundry willow switches,
leather straps and slippers, with
which they put up arguments that
were so persuasive that the boys went
back to work.

Kill the Caterpillars. :

Official warning is given that this Is the
time to kill the caterpillars before the IN

started their work of destruction. The
Commissioners have allotted $500 from the
emergency fund to enable the parking COM
mission to fight the pest, but it may be
questioned whether that sum will suff1ce
for q complete eradication of the worms.
Thus it Is incumbent upon the householders
to aid in the work as far as possible by at
tending each to the tree in front OF MS
residence. This can be done by holding
kerosene torch under the infected branches
and burning the worms. 1t would have been
wiser to prevent the Matching of the insects
by destroying the cocoons in the winter
when the trees were bare and this work
could have been done with minimum Oh
trouble. But now that the cocoons nave
produced their contents and these are

The Wildwood Wires.

The acute interest which the District of
Columbia takes in the welfare of its sub
urbs and adjacent communities is clearly
demonstrated by the prompt action of the
Commissioners in cutting the wires leading
into Maryland from this jurisdiction to
supply the pool room at Wildwood with
race news. This step further indicates to
the people of Takoma that the local au-
thorties are their friends, and it is evidence
that the Commissioners are determined to
utilize whatever weapons the law has
placed in their hands to abate the pool
room nuisance
In the event of a refusal by the Commits
sioners to license the wires in question
court proceedings may be had and in their
adjustment the recent decision by the
United States Supreme Court in the ex-
press-lottery case may prove of Importance.
The court then held that gambling informa-
ton and awards in gambling enterprises
were not proper objects of interstate COM
merce. The Commissioners, it is indicated.
are inclined to refuse a permit for the
stringing of these wires on the ground that
they are not a part of legitimate Interstate
commerce enterprise. Their Interpretation
would thus seem to be justified, in view of
the fragrant fact that the information for
the transmission of which the wires are in
tended Is contributory to a straight-out
gambling scheme.
The law in the District prohibits the plac-
ing of bets on horse racing, and at the
meets here in the spring and autumn the
wagers of those who attend are taken by a
system which leaves no records in the
hands Of the bettorS. The bookmakeEs take
the money openly and note the amount the
number of the bettor. 1t has been held by
the court that this transaction is not illegal,
but opinions still differ on the subject.
However, the courts have firmly held that
the placing and taking of bets on races
run a distance, where the records of the
races are received by wire, is Illegal, and
thus pool rooms have been driven out of
this jurisdiction. Certainly the courts can
not be expected to hold that transaction
which they have declared improper in the
District can thrive just outside by means
or wires strung through this Jurisdiction.

tains number of such places on the out
skirts of cities sufficiently indicates the I'M
desirable character of the resort 1t Is a
gambling scheme, pure and simple, and of

thing which will facilitate it's elimination
from this vicinity should be done by the
authorities and encouraged by the people
or both the District and Maryland.

Harmony in P. o. Inquiry.

Washington Correspondence Chicago Record Herald.
The President talked very freely about the
post Office Investigations this morning. He
said that they had been conducted by his
orders, and that, SO far as he could find out,
there was no misunderstanding. rivalry or
jealousy between the Postmaster General
and Mr. Wynne, his first assistant They
are working in perfect harmony and good
feeling. They undoubtedly differ OCCASION
ally about details, and it would be very
strange If they didn't He would not give
a snap for two men who always agreed
about everything Mr.. Payne had been
very earnest and determined to purify the
department, and during his absence on
vacation in Cuba last spring Mr.. Wynne
had conducted the affairs of the depart
ment with great ability and to his perfect
satisfactio and he had full confidence in
both of them. While some evidences of
corruption and mismanagement had been
discovered in the department and several
officials had been arrested and indicted, the
amount of wrongdoing was comparatively
small. In fact 1t was infinitesimal COM
pared with the enormous business of the
department. Very few people realize the
honesty and efficiency of our postal service.
and these occasional discoveries emphasize
it. Take the money order system, for ex-
ample. During the last year more than
40, 900 900 money orders were issued repre-
senting 1913. 600 900. and yet the entire loss
to the government by the dishonesty of
employees In all that vast number of trans
actions was only $3.50. The President sug-
gested that there was no business firm or
corporation with such a record.

King Peter of SerYia.

The unanimous selection of Peter Kara
georgevitch as King of Servia by the legis-
lative bodies of that country puts an end to
all talk of the probability of a disruption

own candidate. 1t also prevents any posi-

ment which was recently reported as fol-

The question of public sympathy in the
case of the striking Chicago Walters is
rather difficult of settlement. One view of
the case suggests that the tip-demanding
crew deserves no encouragement. while on
the other hand it might be urged that the
rapacity of the walters for the tips of the
patrons is primarily due to the wretched
wages paid by the hotel and restaurant
keepers There is little doubt that the pro-
prietors OF these establishments expect
their employees to exc out their miserable
stipenGs by means of the dimes and quar-
tiers Of the public. But it is TO be said fur
Their that the walters take these places
eagerly. knowing that the ''rake-oH is
well worth the small wage.
Much of the fault of this tipping evil is
due to the leniency and selhshness of the
public. The nuisance has grown because
the patrons of restaurants have encour-
aged 1t. The man who is in a hurry and
wants to be served out of turn finds a quar-
ter or half dollar we'll spent IL slipped in

No Coal Strike.

WORD comes from Scranton that there
VIII be no strike of the hard coal miners
the delegates to the convention there in
session having voted to affirm the choice
OF the three representatives on the concilla-
ton board, thus throwing suuarely upon
the operators the responsibility for accept
Ing or rejecting these men as standing for
the majority of the miners. This is the
wisest course the workers could pursue
They are meeting the terms of the presi-
Dental commissions award in letter and
in spirit. They have even conceded a point
to the operators by calling a convention
and formally electing the men who had
previously been named by the executive
committees of the three districts The
labor concillators will thus stand even
more distinctly representative of the
union than otherwise, and their rejection
by the operators can be construed only as
nat refusal, in the face of the terms of
the commissions award, to recognize any
organization which represents a majority
of the miners
The public Will have no patience what
ever with the operators If they now seek
to delay adjustments with their men
through this board by raising the issue Of
the suthciency of the labor representatives
credentials. The case is very clearly I'M
derstood by the people The award has
been carefully studied by the masses, and
it is altogether likely that in the event of
any disturbance over the organization of
the board the popular condemnation of
the operators will be voiced in unmistaka-
bic terms Already the case of the opera
tors before the public is very weak indeed.
The order TO increase the coal rate by 10
cents month has been construed as an
arbitrary undertaking to recoup the in
creased cost of coal mining by mulcting the
consumers still further. Then the i'm
pudent assertions of independence of the
law uttered by President Baer have irri-
tated the people to a point of bitter hos
tility toward him and all that he rep
resents. These factors should be carefully
weighed by the operators in considering
their next move.

Magma Charta's Anniversary.

To few of the orators who delivered ad-
dresses yesterday in commenoration of
the 126th birthday of the American flag.
does the thought seem to have come that
yesterday was the 6SSth anniversary of
Magma Charta. 1t is picturesque coinci-
dence that the birth of the flag of freedom
should this year, owing to the real anniyer-
sary falling on Sunday, have been cele
brated on the anniversary of the birth of
that great charter, which was one of the
very early and the very positive declara-
tons of the rights of man. 1t was char
ter which declared that right or justice
should not be sold or refused, or delayed;
that no freeman should be imprisoned or
lose his freehold be outlawed or otherwise
punished but by the judgment of his peers
or by the law of the land; that no person
should be fined to his utter ruin, but only
according to his offense, and that no man
should be deprived of his instruments of
labor; that all men might travel out of the
kingdom and return at their own pleasure;
that a man might make what will he
pleased, and that the court of common
pleas should no longer follow the king
person, but should be held in some certain
place and should be open to all men.
This great charter was presented to King
John at St Edmundsbury on Christmas
day. 1914. and 1t was presented to him and
again rejected by him at Brackley on Eas-
ter following. why do they not take my
kingdom?" asked the king of his barons.

marshes the charter was discussed and
signed in one day. And that day was June

Another Disaster.

Now comes news of the Oregon cloud
burst horror-half thousand people lost
in few minutes, a town destroyed by a
wall of water twenty feet high rushing
down mountain gulch. These disasters
a1ord a clear conception of the fury of the
elements a short time ago a wind swept
over town in Georgia and smashed build
ings and destroyed lives in the space of
two minutes. This Oregon catastrophe was
caused by the peculiar formation of the
surface at that point. The mountain hol-
lows gathered the extraordinary rainfall
like so many basins and poured out the
waters at a single exit as though all the
basins had been suddenly overturned at
once. The town was in the direct path OF
the outflow, and was inundated in an in
slant. The power of water wall of this
size roaring down mountain side is be-
yond measurement. When the reservoir
broke at Johnstown the town, situated
some distance away, was wrecked as

Penalty Of Imitation.



The fact has been sufficiently demonstrate
ed of late that during the last few years
the familiar process of discounting the
future has been pushed to extremes. The
watering of securities has been carried on
with reckless haste and shortsightedness,
and the disinclination of the public to take
these inflated capital issues off the hands
of the underwriting syndicate did not serve
as warning against further schemes of
oyercapitalization. The habit Of imitation
is easier to acquire than to lay aside. and
the securing of control of great properties
at preposterously high prices became a pos
tive mania. Not content with applying
the methods of the new finance at home,
the great experts in syndcation tried their
hands abroad.
