Reckless Municipal Driving.

Inasmuch as the Commissioners have
taken the precaution to establish certain
points on the street railway lines as fire
stops" at which the cars must invariably
be brought TO a halt before crossing the
intersecting streets, 1t becomes the duty
Of police and fire department drivers to
exercise due caution In approaching cal
tracks at all other points. The corner of
14tn and P streets Is not compulsory
stopping point. The intersection of 14th
street and Rhode Island avenue. a few
yards to the south. is such point and
at that crossing the responsibility rests
upon the motormen. Last nights acct
dent In the light of the regulations and
the facts. would appear TO have been due
mainly to the haste 'of the, patrol wagon
driver to reach the scene of the fire in the
shortest possible time. regardless Of other
considerations.
There Is too much reckless dashing
through the streets by the municipal wag-
ons of various kinds. The fire apparatus
must always be excepted from all rules.
1t Is the business of the men in charge
to get their vehicles over the ground in
lnS shortest time. But there is no such
urgency for the patrol wagons or for the
hospital ambulances save in the rarest
of cases. Yet hourly these wagons may
be seen tearing across crowded streets
AMI around corners at reckless pace,
with bells changing fiercely.
In the case Of policemen hurrying to a
fire it is to be remembered that there
is probably more danger to the users OF
the streets In their swift transit than to
property or persons at the scene OF the
blaze. Moderation is good rule. even
when the fire bells sound.

a foreigner reading the debate would

Pistols.

The shocking tragedy in this city yester-
day morning brings forcibly to mind
afresh the danger Of keeping pistol In
the house. 1t rarely pays. 1t often leads
to serious trouble. As far as burglars are
concerned. much as those gentry deserve
swift punishment for their crime, the
chances are always against the house
holder in any encounter More burglars
kill their victims than are killed by the
people of the house they are robbing.
They have all the advantage of the dark
ness and Of being thoroughly awake and
alert. They are almost invariably armed
and are ready to shoot upon the first
warning OF discovery.
The safest rule is TO depend upon the
house fastenings.. If tney are weak and
the burglar enters. he should have his way
provided the householder is not absolutely
certain that he Is competent to Judge in
an emergency as to when and whom to
shoot.
The unfortunate husband in the local
case. for whom the community has naught
but the sincerest sympathy, testified be-
fore the coroner's jury that he had owned
a pistol since he was six or seven years
of age. being a kentuckian by birth. The
traditions Of that state favor the carrying

Of weapons. 1t may be assumed that
never has this man had occasion to use
his gun in a real emergency when its pos
session has saved him from peril.
OF the many thousand pistols owned in
Washington probably not five. per cent
may be strictly classed as necessary or as
wisely owned or carried. The habit of
carrying one is unjustified in probably
ninety-nine cases in hundred. In these
days of well lighted streets, street cars,
cabs and other means of transportation
only very small percentage of the popu-
lation is compelled to be out of doors at
night. in dangerous circumstances. Even
then the possession of gun is of doubt

Five Years for Reckless Banking.

Viewing John r. Walsh's offense in its
mildest aspect. that OF merely reckless
banking, the sentence of five years inn
prisonment imposed upon him is none too
severe The banker occupies peculiar
relation TO the deposition. The latter in
trusts him with his funds upon slender
guarantee The transaction is founded
chiefly upon good faith. The law may
be such and such. and prescribe this safe
guard and threaten the wrongdoer with
that penalty for certain offenses. but
after all it is good faith that governs
and not the formal reliance of the de-
positor in the legal machinery to Keep
things straight In Walsh's case it was
charged, and to the satisfaction of a
jury proved, that he juggled with the
funds thus placed in his hands, in order
to float numerous enterprises. 1t may be
that his purposes We're entirely honest,
according to the rather loose standard
which is fortunately now going out Of
vogue Probably he intended to replace
every dollar of these funds when his Vea-
tures-call them investments or specula-
tions, as you will-brought their conf
IDENTIFY expected profits. The bank clerk
who takes little from the cash drawer
to try a flyer in the stock market always
tells himself that he will put the money
back on the morrow. So does the young
man who ''borrows'' his employers money
to plunge on q "sure thing" at the race
track. But the employer is not consoled
for his loss when the tip goes wrong and
his trusted worker goes with it. Good
faith rules the business world, and when
the guidance of good faith is forgotten
or ignored disaster ensues. In the bust
ness Of banking the depositor confidently
expects that the men who are engaged In
the management are themselves strictly
honest, that they are not violating the
letter or the spirit of the statutes and
that they are alert to safeguard the funds
intrusted to them by all the means at
their command. The banker'who fails to
meet this trust deserves to be punished
for his failure, whether he has intended
to steal or has merely exercised bad judy
ment, tinctured with bad faith. Walsh 8
experience will probably do the banking
business a world Of good. through the
revitaiixing Of the basic principle that
the man who takes care of the funds of
others must be on the square at every
angle.

When Is Gambling Not Gamblinge

As a convincing argument in 1aVor OF
some change in the laws relating 10
gambling in the District it is necessary
only to turn to a map of this territory.
Under the statutes gambling in general
involving the use of a gaming DEVICE
is forbidden anywhere within the LIS
trict. Gambling on the horse races. base
ball games or elections Is prohlplteo
within the cities of washington anu
Georgetown-now one municipaEty-aho
also within the area comprised between
the so-called city limits and line Drawn
one mile distant from those boundaries.
The District surveyor has never had oc-
casion officially to compute the exact pro-
portion of the territory which lies OUTSIDE
of the mile-limit line, but he estimates
that % the sixty-nine square miles no"
constituting the total area of the Dlstrlc''
land and water, about fourteen niles lie
within the city proper and fifteen miles
within the mile-limit strip around the
city, total included territory OF twenty
nine miles. This leaves approximately
forty square miles of District territory
within which 1t is lawful at present 10
bet ON the races. or on a base ball game
or on an election.
II is an obvious fact that the entire
District is as mucn III hccu VI PioeSNNoAA
from the gambling evil as any circum-
seribed portion of it. The evil IS as
great when it exists at the corner OF
Howard avenue and 10th street, for an In
stance. as though it were to be found at
the corner of Park street and 10th street.
Yet in the former case it would not be
unlawful that corner being more than
mile from the city boundary. and in the
second case it would be unlawful, being
within a mile of the boundary. 1t would
require a surveyor TO determine the dill
ference between the two points named
Under the law as it stands Mr.. smith
living on the north side of street within
the residential portion of this District can
make books on the races-so long as he
moves about while inscribing the bets-but
his neiShbor Mr.. Jones, living on the
south side of the street, cannot safely
indulge in such an enterprise. even though
he keeps on the move, while he remains
on the law side Of the thoroughfare.
Within forty square miles of the Dis
trict-including nine miles of water sur
face-this most pernicious form of gam
bling is permitted by the law, while within
twenty-nine square miles. 1T Is forbidden.
These figures should be impressed upon
the minds of legislators by the citizens of
the capital who are seeking the amend
ment Of the law. It there is greater
anomaly in the statute books than this
discrimination it remains to be disclosed.

Annuities for Elder Clerks.

The good news for the clerks that has
Just come from the House committee on
reform in the civil service, regarding
the prospect of some form of annuity
bill, would be far better news If assur-
ance were to be given that Congress Is
beginning to recognize the vital princi-
pie that faithful service deserves re-
ward, on the one hand, and that 1t il
good business to take care of the elder
workers, on the other hand. This ques-
tion should not be dealt with in spirit
Of charity. The governments own neces-
stiles rise far above the plane of giving
aims or acting the Samaritan or the lord

lators to look upon the men and women
in the government departments precisely
as business men look upon their en-
ployes, as necessary parts of an organi-
cation. They should take the same view

rectors Of a progressive corporation take

business world regarding the workers is

thereby retaining the advantage of ex-
perience and skill at certain tasks. The
subordinate is first to assure him of en-
ployment during good conduct; second,
10 guarantee to him retention on the
rolls when he has passed the point of
gre attest usefulness. The up-to-date bust
ness man does not shrink from the idea
OF pensioning his elder employees. He
knows that they work for him the more
zeaously because of the assurance that
they will never come to need as long
as they conduct themselves properly. He
shrcwdly capitalizes this quality of hui
mar nature and rates it as an asset not
~ a liability. And he takes pride in the
presence in his establishment of gray
bearded men. who have grown old in the
business. who are identified with it and
who ask for no greater reward than to
die in harness.
Uncle Sam is no sentime ntalist, per-
haps, and at times he has proved himself
10 be rather poor business man. But
assuredly the day Is at hand when he
can well afford to take the same pride
in his elder clerks that the private en-
ployer does. and by making the COM
paratively inexpensive provision neces-
sary assure every veteran that as long
as he walks straight and deserves con-
sideration no harm shall come to him,
no day of want shall be known.
