THINGS Of PAST
Boston Rabbi Nc Longer
Sees Necessity for En-
larged Birth Rate.

BOSTON, Dec. S1.-A restricted birth
rate, and a hnen grade OF children, ac-
cording to Rabbi Charles Fleischer.
should be the aim OF the American peO-
pie hereafter. and In every other way
the rabbi believes in the theory pro-
pounded at Providence by Prof Ed
ward a. Ross. OF the University of wis
consin. at a meeting Of the American
Economic League.
The necessity of an enlarged birth
rate, according to Rabbi Fleischer, no
longer exists. War and pestiIence have
been rendered practically harmless so
far as reducing population IS concerned,
while in other ages they were the two
chief factors in keeping down the num-
Der of inhabitants Of the world The
advance of the peace spirit throughout
the universe has rendered war one OF
the remote possibilities, while the ad-
vance in medical science has practicaI-
" overcome disease epidemics.
For that reason Rabbi Fleischer fears
little from race suicide. although he
has no sympathy with those who take
the law into their own hands, and for
pernieious purposes deliberately thwart
the wishes of the Creator
Despite the number OF these latter
cases, which are admittedly Il menace.
Rabbi Fleischer declares there is TO
danger Of the race diving out bat there
cadents. For this reason the aim of the
people. he declares. should be TO raise
sturdier and a better race of men

DREW REVOLVER
ON HIS DEACON

DOVER. Del. Dec. 31.-Bitter feeling
of long standing almost eliminated in
a riot in the colored Baptist Church
when the preacher in charge, Rev. A
j. Marshall, drew a revolver on one of
his deacons. Oliver Jones. and. accord
ing TO Jones, threatened to cut him"
down.
The trouble arose over the raising
OF money for the insurance of the
church. Jones, who is ore OF the dea-
cons. proceeded to- take the collection,
and. after securing a part OF it, kept
It instead of turning it over TO the
regular treasurer Of the church, which
Jones claims never has been done, the
money being kept as a separate fund.
When Jones refused to turn over the
money, he told the magistrate the
preacher drew the revolver and threat
ened to shoot. The deacon then swore
out 4 warrant for his pastor.
The preacher frankly admitted that
ne carried the revolver. But said he die

MONDAY. DECEMBER 81. 1906.
The Wreck at Terra Gotta.

Two score of our Heighbors are
dead and four score are suffering
injuries as the price of mistake
made yesterday evening in the oper-
alton of trains. Thus horribly is
the danger of modern railroad oper-
alton brought home TO us of Wash
ington. We cannot soon forget, We
cannot overlook a catastrophe which
happened at the city's very doorstep
and carried the deepest misery into
forty homes close TO and like our
own
Every circumstance gave dread
and awe to the accident. The even
ing was dark and the air misty. A
train, overladen with human beings,
stood at a little station. Another,
empty, rushed into il from behind,
crashing, grinding, hurting our own
people of Washington into the 81
lence Of eternity. The engineer, i'm
pulsively throwing open his throttle,
dragged the injured in a mass of Jag
ged timbers a quarter of a mile.
The cause? Human careIessness.
And it will not serve only to dis
cover the blame for this particular
accident and stop there. We of
Washington will realize now, and
that means that Congress viii also
realize, the need of precautions far
more effective than the railroads
have maintained in the past.
They have been vigilant and sim
cere-and they have not succeeded
in making railroad travel as safe as
IL may well be made The fault
may lie in overworked employees. 1t
may lie in wages too low to attract
competent men. 1t may lie in de
feient equipment. It may lie in lack
of care in choosing telegraphers.
Wherever it lies, we of the District
Of Columbia have now Il personal in
terest in seeing that if is uncovered

Poor Gyp is dead, our yellow dog,
No more We'll see him here:

That reached from ear 10 ear
His mouth was open as the day.
HIS wisdom ran TO smell;
he used to curl his crooked tail
To cut canine swell.
Whene'er he heard the voice OF kids
His love for sport prevailed;
He had a shape that took the prize,
Though oft his use cur-tailed.
Kind words he ever took from all;
He had few base designs;
He wore coat Of golden nue.
And many were his whines.
He lived in peace with most mankind
Would rather love enhance
He'd run and play the livelong day.
But ne'er wore out his pants.
But poor Gyp is now at rest.

His eyes We're always very moist
When he was firmly tied.
He kept his ueighbors eli disturbed
And through the gardens tore:

And wiped them on the floor.
But we viii miss his constant bark.

And chase the wicked boys

Eating in the New Year.

Washingtonians who do not travel
far or often little realize the in
tensity of enthusiasm with which
people of various other communi-
ties celebrate the coming in Of a
new year in the by no means still
hours OF the night.
One feature of New Year eve cele-
brations. in New York especially, is
almost incomprehensible to the
Washington man who has not seen
it. 1t is the tremendous crowding
Of every high class hotel and res
taurart in the great city for tables
ut which 10 make merry when the
old gentleman with the scythe
brings along a new infant TO this
ancient globe. The horde that en-
CULTS the places in a theater where
some immensely popular play is be-
ing presented is nothing TO the vast
army that marches into the great
food emPOriums and demands the
right To sit and spend it's money up
TO and far beyond the moment when
one year becomes another.
II has gone so far in most of the
great restaurants of Manhattan that
tickets of admission are said to be
issued now on the distinct guaran-
tee that at least from 50 TO S5 must
be spent for each person. Says the
proprietor of the most sumptuous
of these places:
Il could have had SO a person if
/ had wished. Indeed, l could have
opened box office and sold tickets
at that price. The head walters
have even been offered $50 in bribes
for a table anywhere, which they
have refused. For two months we
have had no tables, and we have
been obliged to turn away hundreds
who desired them"
On the whole, gay as the scene
must be in the swell" resorts of
Gotham, we think that the good old
sober Washington method of seeing
the New Year in is as healthfuI, as
inspiring and probably as enjoyable
as is the wild revel of New York
over its champagne and "fixin's."
Certainly ii starts the human being
off on the new year with a clearer
head and a better digestion, which
means that ne win begin life over
again with more determination 10
be about what he should be, if per-
haps with less Penitence for what
he has been. New York may sell
its restaurant seats for whatever
absurd prices it chooses. We will
continue TO celebrate with the I. ual
calm that has marked our city lor
SO long.

servants. Practically all of them
are deserving, but il is fairly proper
to emphasize just at this time, when
certain statistics have brought the
matter into prominence, the army,
particularly the private soldier. His
claim for better wages is certainly
strong enough TO enlist the favor
able attention of every member Of
Congress, if once it gets 10 his
notice.
The thing that makes the soldiers
case really urgent at this time is the
fact during the last year the army
lost ezra men by desertion, or one
in fifteen of the whole number en-
ployed. These We're mostly white
men, for it is to the credit of the
negro that less than one in twenty
abandoned the service which he had
solemnly agreed to undergo.
But what is this wholesale defec-
ton from an employment that can
not be extraordinarily arduous and
that has many pleasant features
what does it mean? Assume the
United States in the role of an en-
plOyer. Why is it that his employees
should desert him to the extraordi-
nary proportion OF one in fifteen? =?
If any manufacturing corporation
should suffer such wholesale de-
partures on the part of their work
men, the world at large would de-
eide that one of two things was
responsible:
Either that the employees were
badly treated or that they were
badly paid
There is no reason to think that
the men in the army are badly
treated.
1t is well to remember that the
stipend of the common soldier has
not been advanced since the civil
war. In that time practically all
other employments have greatly
risen in price. Congress, however,
never seems to be willing to raise
the pay of the private. Of course.
in comparison to the other armies
the wages are high now, but in COM
PaTison to the price labor commands
in this country, outside the army,
they are ridiculously and unjustly
small.
Nothing viii really improve the
morale and the personnel of the
land branch OF our military service
until those VINO are asked to enlist
in it are given as fair treatment as
those on the outside.
