A FAIR CRITIC POOHPOOHS
MARTIN THEORIES.

Hardly has Camille Flammarion re-
tired from the center of the stage
after affirming the probability that
Mars is inhabited" and that the Mar
tians "have long been signaling US"
than a woman, too modest to reveal
her identity, writes to say that much
of tins talk about Mars must be sheer
nonsense. 'If there is existence on
these planets" she says, 1T is not
life." Moreover, in her opinion it is
utterly preposterous to speak of
canals" on Mars; that is, she doubts
If canals could be seen even if they
existed.
If they do exist, then it is a pity
they cannot be reported on with a
view to settling once and for all the
question now virtually reopened by
President Taft's articles on the work
IN Panama. But there is only an as
sumption that Mars has canals; only
an assumption that the Martisns have
been signaling US.
Prof. Ball, the eminent English
scientist, took up the question of sig
mailing some years ago and in his very
practical way made it clear that if the
signal were flag t would have to be
about as large rs Ireland. Our fair
critic of Msieur FlammariOn would
have Us think that to be seen from
this little sphere a Martian cana
would have to be as wide as the gar
that divides the standpatters from the
revisionists.
"All cOsmological studies," says
FIammarion, "go to show that Mars j:
older and aas attained a greater de
yelopment than the earth" In that
case. the Martian styles must be mucl
more advanced than ours, and perhaps
those spots and flashes reported nov
and then are colossal Mertian hats anC
hatpins waving in the sky.

STILL WORK
ON SHOOTING CASE

That the police will make every ef-
fort tc solve the mystery surrounding
the shooting of F. Bernard Stevens in
the United States Savings Bank. Four
teenth and L streets. last Saturday
night, became evident this morning
when Major Sylvester and Inspector
Board, chief Of detectives, made per-
sonal visit to the bank.
The bullet which entered the fieshv
part of Stevens arm did not inf1ict q
serious wound. and the doctors say he
will probably be able to leave the
Emergency Hospital today.
Inspector Boardruan spent about two
hours a, the bank this morning. He
talked at length with J. M Baker, jr.,
an assistant bOokkeeper. and son of
the president of the bank.
Young Baker told the chief OF de-
tectives that he heard a scuffie before
tbs shot was fired, but he did not see
the negro.
The officials of the bank have issued
q statement, in which they say IN part:
ANY purpose Of robbery upon the
part Of the assailant was completely
| thwarted and defeated by the prompt
action of Mr.. Stevens and the assistaRt
teller, who, in spite of the confusion
which attends suCn an occurrence, inn
ediately closed the iron gratings pro-
tecting the teller's cages. as we'll as
/ the doors of the bank. and the count
| of the cash and securities, which has
! been coTz5ieted. shows both cash and
| securities intact in the vaults OF the
| bank"

BRAINS, PRINTERS INK, AND
PROSPERITY PUDDING.

When brains and printers ink are
mixed judiciously with business, pros
perity pudding is the result.
This modern truism was demonstrate
ed Saturday evening when men of
prominence in the journalistic, maga-
zine. business, and advertising worlds
celebrated the fortieth anniversary OF
the advertising house of n. w. Aver &
Son in a dinner in Philadelphia.
The old. time hawker who cried his
wares from wagon reached a few
persons at a time with q set phrase.
He made a comfortable living for HIM
self and his family.
The chap who improved upon the
hawker's method by displaying signs
upon his cart saved his voice and added
to the set phrase of the crier. He did
a better business.
Then came the man of the shop AT
first he too cried his wares and hired
others TO attract attention to his store
with bells and songs.
All these dwindled and passed with
the advent of the newspaper, the maga'
zine. and the advertising agent
Success in retail business today Ii

for any girl to walk in the streets of
New York alone"
Why not2 Are the conditions in the
American metropolis so much more
battling than those in London, or Ber-
lin, or st. PetersburgY Is the police
force, under the best chief the organi-
zation has ever had, utterly incapable
of affording protection?
To the outside view, this statement
from the source indicated is due to
some ones shooting off his face. The
security of a great city is not destroy
ed through the abduction of one girl.
All New York is not at the mercy OF
thugs because a gang succeeds once IN
the vicinity of Columbus avenue and
Eighty-frst street.
With this poor victim secreted some
where, subject to no one knows what
unspeakahle outrages, this is no time
for the rattles. II is a time for hustle.
The police should comb the entire city
to find the girl and the law-breakers.
Then the prosecuting attorney should
drive the trial to the quickest possible
verdict and the severest possible SEN
tence. Meanwhile the newspapers and
the police officials should put their feet
down hard on every sign of panic
whether it appear in the reckless ques-
tionings of some police official or the
columns of a newspaper ordinarily SO
well governed as the New York Times

Is THE NEGRO OF ANY I'M
PORTANCE TO THE WHITEa

The welfare of the white residents of
the District of Columbia is inseparably
bound up in the welfare of the colored
residents. Every act of lawlessness
the black neighbor commits, every in
sanitary dwelling he tenants, every
day of idleness he lives, comes back
ultimately as charge against the
white people. If we whites do not
realize that, we are blind as moles to
our own welfare.
What the colored people need just
now is this-practical training and in
centive. They have opportunity enough
for general education. There are
enough smart Alexis among their
young people. But it is the experience
of every white householder and bust
hess man that there are far from
enough colored cooks, housemaids,
nurses, seamstresses, cobblers, carpen-
ters, bricklayers, chair-caners and gen.
orally dependable workmen.
Under white leadership a Colored
Social Settlement hs been founded for
teaching along these particular lines
Seven years it has been doing excellent
work at ll6-lIS NJ street southwest
Now it is moving from those buildings
altogether inadequate even to the
degree of having no water supply-tC
a building of sixteen rooms specially
planned. The cost of the new quarter.
will be $4,000, of which $1,000 will g
for equipment. There must be raised
also $500 per month for running ex
penses.
Is it worth anything to the whit
people to provide the greater part o
this money? Surely it is. Surely it
a work so practical and touching then
30 closely that they are mainly re
sponsible, with their larger means, 70
continuing and supervising it. If

Belasco Theater last evening and the
playhouse was taxed to capacity with a
fashionable and appreciative audience
Director Loving had arranged a pro-
gram with a view TO bringing out the
versatility Of his musicians, and how
well he succeeded is attested by the en-
cores demanded at the conclusion of
each number. The selections deserving
special mention were the Won Weber
overture, "Oberon." the grand march
from Verdfs Aida" and the Grieg
descriptive suite, Peer Gynt." While
the latter is not as effective when de-
pendent upon the brass sections as it is
with the strings, yet the wood wind in
struments carefully executed this de-
lightful composition
The diversion for clarinet, taken from
BelIini's La Somnamhula,'' by Sergeant
iel Rosario, was one of the features OF
the program. the band accompaniment
icing exceptionally effective. Among
the encore numbers given were the
Gate City" march, american Patrol, -
Sousa's ever popular stars and Stripes
