Agent FeIIed with Club, and Pair
Make Escape

EVERETT, Wash, July 5.-The Great
Northern ticket office on the water
front was looted of $2537 about IL
o'clock last night by a bandit who
knocked down II. E. Stevens, the agent,
with club and carried off three sacks

When Stevens was picked up a few
moments later he was in a highly nerv-
Gus state and was placed under opiates
at a hospital. Physicians, however,
say he is not seriously injured. He
was unable to give any connected ac-
count of the robbery. Bystanders saw
two men, one of whom was carrying
two or three sacks, walking down the
tracks about the time of the holdup.

casualties and considerable destruction
of property. Doubtless this revolt will
i'm turn be suppressed, and it is to be en-
pected that the Brazilian government
will make sure this time that the spirit
of revolt is quenched. If ever s1tua-
ton demanded thorough going measures
of repression and punishment the carrier
mutiny was one. Men who engage III
the military or naval service swear to
support the government under whose flag
they march or sail. They assume re-
lationship that is different from that OF
the ordinary employee. They cannot
leave their tasks at will. They may be
ordered into deadly danger. They may
be deprived of comforts and even In
emergencies of the necessities OF life,
and they must endure their privations.
They know perfectly well before they
enter such service what is expected of
them, and there can be no sympathy
whatever for mutiny in time OF peace,
when If there are genuine grievances a
remedy is always to be found through
pacific channels. The Brazilian govern
ment in its adjustment of the first mutiny
treated the mutineers with considera-
ton entirely foreign to the Fundamental
principle of military service, and virtually
confessed a weakness which 1t should
have been the desire to conceal at all
hazards. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
this second mutiny will be promptly sup
pressed without compromise, and that the
Brazilian republic will assert its strength
and demonstrate it's stability before the
world.

The Census Total.

Some time ago The Star pointed out

would be in the neighborhood of 81, 600, :

than higher figure, inasmuch, as it

rate of gain equal to that maintained
during the previous decade. for the states

nearly 70 per cent. The figures an

Director Durand's enterprise, bear ont
the apprehension that the remaining fig

The Exhibit of Contemporaneous Art

The prestige of Washington as a center
of national art interest is steadily in
creasing through the enlargement of the
private and public collections here estab-
lshed, and particularly by the occasional
special exhibitions at the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art such as that which has just
opened with a notable assemblage of
paintings by living artists. This is the
third of a series of exhibitions of con-
temporaneous art. In each Of these the
standard has been high, and the verdict
of critics and painters has been that no.
where else has the excellence of the pres
ent-day school been more fully and faith
fully demonstrated.
1t is gratifying to find these biennial
exhibits at the Corcoran Gallery literally
patronized by the public, not alone by the
permanent population of the capital, al
ways appreciative of such opportunities,
but by the constant current of visitors
from all parts of the country. 1t is indeed
particularly important that city which
is visited annually by such large num-
bers of tourists should possess artistic
attractions of the highest grade. The
Corcoran Gallery's own collection Is al
ways an object of great interest on the
cially valuable to bring to the notice of
the midwinter callers at the capital such
an impressive array of new works by
living creators Of art as that which is
now to be thrown open to public view.
On their part the authorities of the Cor
coran Gallery are meeting the public
demand for wider opportunities to view
the paintings placed on exhibition and
have granted two evenings each week for
this purpose. 1t Is to be expected that
| the use of the gallery on these evenings
will be so large that the trustees may be
| moved to extend the number Of evening
openings so that the exhibition may be
even more widely valuable in the line Of
art education. 1t is through such liberal
policies that Washington will advance
even more rapidly as a national art CEN

Unfortunately. Older countries have fully
demonstrated the danger of too rapid
an increase of population. AS long as
the western country was virtually I'M
settled there was reason to want a rapid
advance in population. There was work
to be done for a great multitude. Now.
with the heaviest rates of gain scored by
the western country, there is reason to
welcome indications that the tide has
turned.
Throughout the work of taking the GEN.
sus and recording and tabulating the re-
suits the highest standard of efficiency
has prevailed In the organization. Di-
rector Durand has demonstrated an ex-
ceptional ability for the assembling and
administration of a large force. AS a
result Of his painstaking insistence upon
accuracy the percentage Of error and
fraud in the count has been reduced to
a minimum. The country has confidence
today in the accuracy and completeness
of the enumeration. Probably a census
was never before taken which was so
highly rated for thoroughness and hon.
esty. The wisdom of maintaining a
permanent census bureau had already
been demonstrated, but it remained for
this enumeration fully to display the
advantage Of keeping an organization
continuously, susceptible to great ex-
pansion for the decennial count. 1t is
to be remarked in this connection that
Director Durand has from the outset
recognized the legitimate interest of the
country In the enumeration, and has made
public the figures of cities and states
without unnecessary delay, and has now
proved the efficiency of his organization
by proclaiming the continental total in
exceptionally rapid time

Another Brazilian Mutiny.

Another naval mutiny in Brazils This
is the inevitable corollary to the terms
offered to the mutineers In the first in
stance The granting OF amnesty to
sailors who had slain officers and bonn

to further trouble. The government
could well have afforded to pursue the
mutineers on that occasion even TO the
extent OF sinking every one Of the bat
tleships held by them. rather than COM
promise with them on the basis of an un.
qualified pardon and u pledge to con-

this unwise adjustment came reports OF

The Supreme Court Appointments.

There is much to be said in indorse-
ment of the Supreme Court appoint
ments. Two Of the men are young for
that bench. Fifty-one and fifty-three
should insure long service to the govern
ment. and at sixty-ive the third man
shows the vigor of one ten years younger.
The question of age, then. has been well
settled.
The question of experience has been set
tied even more happily. Two of the ap-
pointees are now in judicial harness, and
thoroughly familiar with all public ques-
tions, and with court rulings on such as
have been submitted of late years for
court decisions. The third has been a
snember of the highest court in his
state, and ranks with the leaders of the
state bar in the practice of his profession.
Geographically and politically the Sc
leetiOns are good. Two are from the
south, and one is from the west. The
west will now have two members of the
court, both republicans. If the south
furnishes all three of the democratic
members it is to be remembered that for
many years she has been the democratic
party, and still is. Internationally, there
is a show of democracy in spots east
and west, but never for long. 1t is in the
south where the party steadily remains
1.-The whole thing
About two of the new men the country
at large has small Amusement. But they
must have had strong local support to
enter successfully into such important
national calculations. And one of them
bears a name associated In popular re-
spect with the best southern post-bellum
traditions. From a Lamar We should
have conservative judgment and high
ideals.
The new Chief Justice at home passed
from law to politics. and from politics
to the bench. From the bench he passed
to politics again. and from politics TO
the bench again as a member here of
the highest court in the country. His
rank as a Judge Is with the foremost.
His opinions are greatly respected by
the legal fraternity, and during his six
teen years on the Supreme bench he has
sat in many notable cases. He takes up
no new task, but simply changes his
chair, becoming the middle man in a
row of men charged with duties Of the
most responsible character.
A great deal of speculation has for
weeks played about the subject of these
court vacancies, and many names have
been canvassed in the newspapers in con-
nection with them. All along, however,
there has been trust in the President S
judgment, and the announcements JUS
tify it. He seems to have found his way
we'll through an embarrassment of riches.

Feminine Fortitude.

Now ladies as policemen serve,
And manage motor cars,
And airship ladies have the nerve
To sail among the stars,
While patriot ladies bravely seek
To show US now and then
That they can hold parades and speak
AS handily as men.
But if a heroine you'd see
OF true, surprising might,
Amid the scenes whence man would flee
A creature vanquished quite,
Go where the Christmas tumult sounds
So constant and SO loud;
Behold the lady on her rounds
Among the shopping crowd!

Hat Pins.
From the Woman's National Daily.

Possibly when somebody loses an eye
or is disfigured for life by coming in con-
tact with a woman's hat pin in crowded
car, or among horde of Christmas shop
pers. the authorities will cease to treat
this menace as joke. It is not necessary
to pass special legislation, as was done
In Chicago, to regulate the length and
mode of wearing hat pins. This would be
absurd. 4 pin that would be perfectly
safe in a Ting a-ling' hat might be
exceedingly dangerous in Billy Burke"
An army Of Philadelphia lawyers could
not frame a statute that would meet all
the requirements and restrain milady from
imperiling the safety of her companions
In crowds. Compulsory measures are not
necessary. Faith in the common sense
and considerate judgment Of women war
rants the belief that If the subject of
protruding hat pins Is called to their at
tention they will themselves correct the
evil.
