The Hatpin Evil.

To thu Editor o. The washington Times
I am indeed glad to see that Repre-
sentative Godfrey is as interested in the
punching Of faces with hatpins as in the
punching OF the Gas Company.
The long hatpins are vicious in the ex-
IRENE. and / have inveighed against
them many times
A few days ago I boarded Four
teenth street car-the md that forty
people sit down in-an1 Forty hang on
to the straps. I hung % with many
others. and right near were two young
ladies with enormous hats-and more
enormous hatpins-pro iectin6 four inches
beyond the hat crowns.
On rounding into Fourteenth street
from New York avenue everyone was
thrown almost OF his feet, and I
watched the hatpins. II those nearby
hadn't been on the lookout there would
have been an eye out or face
scratched. I was thrown against one
OF the ladies and my veil was torn on
my hat It IS a wonder my eye was not
put out
There is no necessity for these long
hatpins. one can, with a little thought
always get the right length. Respect

fully to examine into the facts. It
may well De that Mr.. Wickersham does
not fully understand the real situation
as TO the progressive movement, for he
is not a politician and practically all
his life he has been immersed deeply in
the affairs Of his law office in Now
York.
Mr.. Wickersham does wen TO set be-
fore the country the achievements of
the Administration. As a member OF
the Cabinet, 1t IS appropriate for him
to do this. The Administration has
done much to commend IN its first year.
But it does not follow that because
some Republicans in Senate and House
insist on amendments to legislation
proposed by the Administration they
are TO be assailed or condemned as
trying to defeat the purposes OF the
party platform The platform Is open
TO different interpretations. RePUb-
Hcans have a right to different opinions.
The progressive movement IN the
Republican party and in the country
viii not be hindered OF hurt IN the
least by what Mr.. Wickersham says or
does. It Is a movement bigger than
8Ir. Wiekersham. bigger than any one
man, bigger than any set Of men, 1t
is not going to be suppressed. Mr.
Wickershsm can hurt himself and his
chief by assailing it, but the progressive
movement Is going on The sooner this
Is understood all around the better 1t

the Administration, and for the

ATTORNEY GENERAL WICK
ERSHAM SAiITES INSURGENTS

Reading the accounts OF the speech
of Attorney General Wickersham IN
Chicago we learn that Mr. Wickersham
~smote the Republican Insurgents hip
and thigh According TO another
version, GIr. Wickersham practically
read the Republican insurgents out Of
the party"
It cannot be said that Mr.. Wicker
sham In his attack on the insurgents
was fortunate Tt would be interesting
10 know Just exactly what he OF any
other representative OF the Administra-
ton hopes to accomplish BY deDuncia-
ton Of the progressive wing of the Re
publican party. Is It the expectation or
purpose TO drive the progressives over
to the DemoTats2 Of what avail VIII
that be to the Republican party? Neces-
ssTily, If the progressives are, by an
absolutely unyieIding course on the
part OF the so-caIIed regulars" driven
away from the Republican party 10 the
Democrats, the Democrats VIII be placed
IN control of the Government. By what
process of reasoning does Mr. Wicker
sham arrive at the conclusion that this
would be to Republican advantage?
But, perhaps, AIr. Wickersham thinks
that by aEsaiIing the insurgents he can
whip them back from the course on
which they have started Perhaps he
believes they can be cowed into accept
ance OF the tenets OF Republicanism as
defined by Mr. Aldrieh and Mr.. Cannon.
Perhaps he Is one Of those who look on
the insuTgent movement as a mere pass
ing wave ca sentiment, which VIII pres
emily subsi5e- Perhaps he believes the
intelligent Republicans Of Indiana
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska.
Kansas, and other States of the Middle
West, OF large share Of NeW England,
and OF other large sections Of the coun-
try do not know what they want and
are stirred merely by emotions that
bear no relation TO a real understanding
Of conditions If this Is the view of
Ar Wickersham, he Is unfortunate in
that he does not understand his coun-
Try, and he would do well to devote
careful study to the causes that under
lie the progressive uprising.
This uprising Is much older than Mr..
Wickersham's official life, much older
than the Administration, much more
deep-seated than any feeling Of liking
for the course Of one official or dis
satisfaction for the course of another
Official IF Mr.. Wickersham does not
know this, then he would do well care

noted the sale OF the painters Portrait

So, too, during this sale in New
York of the Charles 7. Yerkes art col
lection, tine spirits of some of the other
old masters must find a sublime
pleasure IN the demand for their work.
Many of them have been dead too long,
perhaps, to be at all concerned over

TIME FOR DRASTIC ACTION
HAS ARRIVED.

In the immortal words of the his
torie walrus. the time has come ito
talk Of many things, of shoes, and
ships and sealing wax, and cabbages,
and kings," and, incidentally, of
problem far more portentous and far
reaching than any OF these other serious
issues One OF our cherished ideals has
been made the object of an attack
whose possibilities are frightfuI TO con

to be shattered. List.
Our rural clergy Is in danger of being
shorn of its inalienable right TO stow
away, in that compartment of the
human anatomy which Is popularity be-
Heved TO lie closest 10 the male heart,
the tender white meat and the lSscIous
irumstick of the fried chicken
= quickened public conscience should
burst into consuming fame and hack
IRE the approaching calamity Can we
stand idly by and see our hard-worked
and poorly paid country pastors sub
iected to such awful injustice? Whence
has departed our convictions of the
square deal. that we 90 our way I'M
eoncernedIy when so vital part OF our
bod- polite Is face TO face with a crisis
which looms dark and hUngrily in the
early tomorrow Now Is the time for
all good men to come TO the aid Of the
preacher for he needs our moral sup
port and our material assistance il
this, his hour Of augUished appetite.
Thinlv yelled, the anti-fried chicken
specter stalks boldly forth from the
purIieus of a Hoosier village which an
swers to the Unsympathetie name Of
Button It is reliably reported from
there that the northern Indiana confer
ence of the Methodist Church has voted
to restrict to zone nights lodging and
one meal" the entertainment TO be
granted the preacher on the occasion
of his periodical visits to the humble
homes of his congregation
Think of It! This heterodox theory of
pastoral treatment has been actually
framed into concrete, UNCONVENTIONAL
regulation and sworn to by the mem
bers Of the northern Indiana Methodist
conference lat BIuTton} as the com
polling force in their future duties as
hosts and hostesses 70 those who have
been appointed to guide their spiritual
destinies.
Fried chicken Is not specifically men
toned, but let no pastor deceive him
self Fried chicken Is what is meant.
There Is a joker IN the rule. Just OBJ
serve that lodging and one neal pro
vision. One meal, with lodging, would
mean either supper and bed OF bed and
breakfast-and who ever heard Of any
body having fried chicken for break
fast or supper? Dinner, IN Button, In
diana. Is synonymous with high noon.
and dinner Is the meal at which the
choicest dish from the hencooP Is served.
The high cost OF iving-which Is
used TO explain everything nowadays-
Is given a. Justification for the alarm
ing action of the northern Indiana
8IethOdists- If this Is the really, truly
reason, then, indeed, Is It time the
problem were delved into thoroughly
and speedily solved.
The ministers should not yield with
out terrific struggle. They should
fight for their fried chicken with all
the strength Of their manhood, and they
should have the united support Of d
patriotic public.

ANOTHER WORD ON UNIYER
SAL TRANSFERS.

An important point 10 be considered
IN the discussion Of universal transfers
i that the people OF Washington should
not be made TO suffer any incon-
venience arising from the fact that
there are two street car companies
here. The patrons Of the corporations
are entitled TO the very best service
and accommodations that 1t is possible
10 furnish, because the community
gives the companies the opportunity to
operate and then furnishes the reve-
nues by which the systems are main
tanned. The burden Of evolving ways
and means for supplying service rests
upon the companies, not upon the
people
A community right, II must be
recognized that a patron of a street
car company should be able to make
one continuous journey. in one general
direction, from one objective point TO
another, for one fare. With certain
restrictions as TO geographical location
of lines, for the purpose of preventing
passengers accomplishing the maneUver
OF a round trip on a single ticket
universal transfers should be issued
It has been said IN defense Of the com
panie- that such a system Of transfers
Is not needed. for the reason that the
passenger already has every transfer
convenience he needs It has also been
said that If the two companies ex-
changed transfers Il would be necessary
to establish an expensive system of
accounting, and that 1t would be diff
cult 10 arrive at a fair basis upon
which to divide the business.
One VIII instantly see the sbzurditv
OF these claims when taken IN relation
TO each other If there Is no public
necessity for universal transfers. the
companies certainly VIII not find 1t diff
fcuIt TO do the universal transfer book
keeping If nobody uses them there
viii be none TO account for
Again, If there Is a legitimate neces-
sity for them, It Is the duty Of the
companies TO find the way to provide
them.
