an effective extenuating circum-
stance.

doubtful about the proposition when
they started to work. One of them
admitted that on week days even,
he was often filed with gloomy fore

He and his fellows have taken their

CAN'T BE HELPED.


Nothing in the days news in a
long time has given us 50 much
pain as the report that the Dalai
Lama of Thibet had been deposed.
While not in ~a'position to claim
a personal friendship with Dial, we
have watched his work for. a num-
Der of years and are CONVINCED he
is a nice little fellow and should
get along.
The Chinese are responsible for
this trayesty on justice. Dalai was
unfortunate enough to have as his
nearest neighbor the Yellow Peril.
Possibly it was a foregone CON
clusion that said Peril would get
him sooner or later, but it seems
hard. ~

Temporarily. Salaries must be paid, interest met and other ex

March n the Commons viii he engaged Ill fiscal and other neces-

theless. After March 81 the outlook is dubious for the government.
The Unionists are a unit against a composite majority made up of
Liberals. Nationalists and Iaboltes. and the NationaHsts can at a
critical stage throw their strength against the government and
compel the ministry TO resign. The life Of his Parliament is to
all appearances short There may soon be another general election.

A United States senator has had
the temerity to propose doing away
with the Third Degree.'
Naturally the police of the entire
country are furious. If such a law
was enforced. it would be almost
impossible to wiring a confession of
guilt from an innocent man.
Thus the percentage of "unsolvpd"
mysteries would grow alarmingly
and the police would be kept hop
ping ron n battling case to an
other.
In administering the Third Degree
some police officials may seem to be
a little rough, but their hearts are in
the right place, and after all it's re-
suits we want in this country.

GTTa HE attitude of Essex members of The Assembly towards the.
Belleyilr annexation bin is taken upon the claim that there
is politics in it" presumably because the bill was intro
duced by Senator Osborne. Il Democrat. The view taken is un
worthy of Intelligent men, II is on Il par with the cheapest ward
politics. Senator Osborne is not Il practical politician, and he in
PRODUCED the bin in compliance with the wishes of the people of
Belieyille. The bill does no more than extend TO them the right
10 vote upon the question of annexation. and the attitude of the
Esses assemblymen is that they shall be denied this right-denied
home rule because these assemblymen fancy there may be some
benefit to accrue to their political opponents. If this cheap spirit
ShaIf always prevail the desires and interests of a community must
EeE@)e%ubordinate to political partisan considerations.

THE REFORM or THE LORDS.

S7T9 HE program of The Liberal ministry, as far sfhe enigmatical
Premier Asquith can be understood is TO reform the House
Of Lords by making ii elective. To the American mind that
would mean elective by large constituencies or by territorial
divisions. after the plan of the American Senate. But political
representation as understood by the premier and his advisers may
be a wholly different thing. An elective House of Lords would
unnecessarily be confined in it's membership TO a privileged class, else
il wouldnf be a House of Lords. There are now in the upper house
1eESs spiritual and lords temporal, and the universities are repre-
seated. TWoHfd these features be retained under the elective sysl

Sees No Harm in sunday Shows.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Aside from the fact that some mar
now-minded reformers have succeeded
in making it unlawful to hold theatrical
wherein these shows are a detriment
to the community, Let anyone who
has any doubts as to the character of
the audiences that attend these Sunday
night performances visit any one of
the houses where these entertainments
are given and note the character of the
people there. They will find a we'll
conditioned, orderly. contented and
happy gathering of .clean-minded peo-
pie who leave the place quietly and
without disorder.
From he activity displayed in certain
quarters you would imagine thai these
audiences were made up of a bowling
mob of unruly characters who have
no respect for any condition of law or
order. / have attended churches in
this very city where entertainment fea-
lures were furnished hat dc not come
far from being vaudeville shows and
yet no comment is made about them
1t is safe to assume that any institu-
ton that is supported by thousands of
~peaceable, orderly people cannot be
wholly bad.
There are thousands of canker spots
in the community that could be given
the attention of the reformers who
really want to make reformsy but these
places do not centre about the resorts
of clean, healthful enjoyment.

II is wonderful how much intemper-
ance can be exhibited in a gathering
brought together in the cause OF tenn
perance. We have seen a number OF
these puzzling exhibitions at Trenton
during legislative sessions. There was
one Yesterday during the hearing on
the local option bills. SENATE Geb-
hardt, of Hunterdon, the reports say
had to be physically restrained from
doing violence to Il speaker who didn't
agree with him in opinion. Senator
Gebhardt. too. lives in IA county where
everything invites to repos and a
tranquil mind. There is nothing in
Hunterdon OF q nature to make a man
quarrelso1ne, not even the applejack of
the good farmers, who believe, With
Gehhandt that the people Of the cities
must have local prohibition to be saved.
That the splitting on the sidewalks
ordinance was wisely ordered can be
realized in the statement by the medi-
cal health officer OF Birmingham, Eng
laud. that I per cent of the spittle col
lected on the sidewalk i'm that city con-
tanned tuberculosis germs. For COM
parison, ii may be added that dust
taken from the floors of the Adirondack
Cottage Sanitarium for Consnmptives
was found to be entirely free from the
germs. 1t follows hat a tuberculosis
sanitarium is really q safer place. as
far as tuberculosis is concerted, for a
healthy person. than the streets of a
city where sidewalk splitting is toler-
ated.

El Paso, Tex. has
become not oily a national vice but
is in fact becoming a national menace
In the opinion of Joseph T. Talbert,
vlce-president of the National City
Bank, of New York. Mr.. Talbert,
who spoke before the Texas Bankers
Association, said that there does not
appear anywhere to exist in the con-
duct Of national, municipal or indi-
vidual affairs, that appreciation of
the economical and prudent use of
resources and that adjustment of ex-
penditures to means and incomes
which always have been found neces-
sary to the support of prosperity and
to the maintenance of condition Of
solvency.
The speaker cited the automobile
craze as a case in point, I'VE are
squandering on pleasure vehicles an
nuaIly sums of money running into
hundreds of millions Of dollars" he
continued. "The initial cost of auto
mobiles to American users ACCOUNTS
to not less than $250,000,000 year.
The up-keep and other necessary ex-
pendltures, as well as incidentals,
which would not otherwise be in
Cured, amount to at least as much
more This vast sum Is equivalent
in actual economic waste each year
to more than the value of property
destroyed in the San Francisco fire
perhaps to twice as much. This sum
as large as 1t is, does not include the
whole economic loss growing out OF
this single item Of indulgence. The
thousands Of young and able-bodied
men employed In manufacturing ma
chimes and in running and caring for
cars, all are Withdrawn from produc-
tive usefulness; they become consum-
ers of our diminishing surplus pro-
ducts and constitute an added bur-
den to the producers. The economic
influence of this withdrawal from the
producing and addition to the con-
suming class, is bound to be mani
tested in a tendency to, higher prices
Its effect already must be consider
able, and Is comparable only to the
maintenance of an enormous stand
ing army.
Thousands upon thousands of our
people, frenzied by desire for pleas
ure and crazed by passion to spend,

their life insurance policies, with"
drawn their hard-earned savings

have thereby converted their modest
assets into expanding and devourine

QOLORED STUDENTS WINS
AWARDED GAST0N
MEDAL.

For Excellence I'm Oratory AT Brown
University.
For the first time in the history
of Brown University colored stu
dent, Cough Decatur McDaniels, Of
Baltimore, won the CASTOR medal
for excellence in oratory recently.
|la)llpP natal Is the most valuable
prize offered by the university =
v McDaniels Is one of the first stu
dents of the senior class, and in his
junior year won third in the Carter
prize reading contest He was grad
uated from the Baltimore High
School in 1906, and entered Brown
in the fall Of the same year. The
prize is for the best original oration
in English. McDaniel's subject was
"A Plea for Liberia"
Naturally the first thing man en-
deavors to excel in his speech, and
by operation of law which none
know, the Negro gains prominence
as an orator wherever his powers
are given opportunity to develop in
this art. The above special to the
Washington Post, from Providence,
R. l., records one more triumph in
this field.
