journment, Aid. Konkel quietly Of
fered a resolution that the committee
on charter and city legislation be In
structed to report out q charter
amendment by Oct. IL. for submits

adopted without comment. At pres

The wrangle which took up most OF
the time Of the meeting was over the
matter of granting license to 3.

years by p. HOLMAN. HOLMAN went
out Of business last spring, and the
owners have had hard work rent

Thompson, of the Sixth ward, have
opposed the granting of license for
the place. pointing out that there are
four other saloons In the immediate
neighborhood. The committee on
liquor regulations was divided on
granting the license to Kruszewski.

and Aid. Ellis, also of the committee,

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t is about time hat some action was
taken to protect the song birds of our
country and to prohibit the slaughter
Of the innocents for the qualification of
feminine whims. The Audubon bill
seems to be d good one, and if adopted
as a Federal measure would, if properly
enforced, do much toward a~bolishing
the barbarous cruelty practised on the
feathered creatures of the field and
forest If American women would take
the lead in refusing to, wear or were
compelled by law to refuse to wear the
feathers and heads of the song birds,
the civilized world would follow.
Conservation of resources is depend

RARE AND BEAUTIFUL.

Consideration in little things cuts
a whole lot of the CONCEALED surfaces
of aqueous bodies in this life.
Whenever such consideration re-
ceives fitting recognition we are pre-
pared to take off III Mat even
though we are standing in q
draught.
There occurred recently in this
city one of those little exhibitions
of thoughtfulness which e as
much in their way as half-billion
dollar foundations. 1t was ap-
praised at its full value, and the
author of it was rewarded.
1t was a terrible night at sea, and
a citizen who had been to a bowling
party suddenly realized the lights Of
home were as impossible of attain
ment as a perfect o of 300, when
he had never rolled over 107.
Did he lie down in his tracks and
force a policeman to go out of his
way? Indeed, not so. He dragged
himself to a patrol box and sank
to slumber beneath 1t. When the
patrolman sent in his duty call no
mentioned the circumstance and a
patrol wagon was Immediately
Forthcoming. Just as simple az
that.
Then the Judge heard all about 1t
the next morning and he was 10 inn
pressed that he permitted the citizen
to go free.

Fl EFFECT OF CANYONS OVERTHROW.

NV OW that Cannonsm has been humbled in its citadel by lin
AN surgent" Republicans, what will be the effect in national
politics? Revolutions never go backward, and this is a revo-
luton, and a momentous one. To accomplish it the revolutionists
defed the administration, and even bearded President Taft, treat
ing lightly the threat of exclusion from Federal patronage and of
Federal opposition in their districts. A truce will follow in the
House. Legislation must be enacted and party interests looked
after, but the hurt remains. Speaker Cannon is personally elimi
mated. He will probably not care for a denomination. But those
things that Cannonism implies are not to be so easily disposed Of
In all the districts where the men who figured as Cannon's sup
porters ask denomination there will be bitter opposition and many
defeats. The Cannon men, too, will be unforgiving of the Gin
surgents" The knives are already well sharpened for them in their
districts. There are implacable revenges in politics. 1t is yet to be
seen where the President stands in this quarrel. He was not in
sympathy with the purpose to discrown Speaker Cannon, and he
remarked at Albany yesterday that he chopped it was true" that
the change would benefit legislation. But why should the Presi
dent be dragged in, and why should he be affected by the incident,
except by some iIladvsed utterance or act?

NOT THE GRAND JURY'S BUSINESS.

MI A1oR G iz..s1 RS. sharp IA resp Response st, to the Queens county E. +
jury about all subway plans now under consideration is a
pointer for grand juries generally. Mayor Gaynor informs the
Queens county jury that their business is to inquire into crime, and
not set up an authority over matters they have nothing to do with
and have no authority over. Several years ago an Essex county
grand jury came in with a long presentment to the court, in which
the jury set forth their ideas of what the municipal government of
Newark should be, and made criticisms and recommendations that
moved citizens to laughter and made the grand jury ridiculous.
Other grand juries in this county have gone outside of their province
to authortatively NEEDLE in affairs beyond their official ken, but
not to such an absurd length. Mayor Gaynors answer to the
Queens county grand jury might well be pasted up in every grand
jury room, to remind grand jurors that they are mortal.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
One of your readers wrote to you last
week criticising the lack of thorough
ness in our schools in the matter OF the
branches of education ana
commenting Upon the almost general
failure of our young people to quanty
in positions that require a good knowl-
edge of spelling and arithmetic and an
ability to write a good hand. That
these things are true is only too we'll
known to people who have to contend
with these shortcomings in business
life, but what strikes me is not that
u young people do these things so
poorly, but hat they are able to do
them as well as they do.
~Penmanship lessons are almost un-
known, and. if given at all, are gone
over in a perfunctory way, lacking both
interest and thoroughness. In spelling
pretty nearly the same conditions exist,
while the method that is employed is so
faulty that not one young person in a
hundred knows how to separate a word
according to ~syllables.
Common fractions are quickly hur-
ried over in order that he scholar may
the sooner take up the study of higher
mathematics that he seldom has use
for in after life. Add to this peculiar
system the number of holidays that
break in upon the school year, n it
is hardly any wonder hat our young
people are SO poorly equipped to tackle
the simple rudiments of h three RS.

would Aid Car strikers.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
1 say let the good people of Pennsyl-
vania show their sympathy for the car
men now on strike in the city Of Phila-
delphia. A vital principle is at stake
the right of laboring men to be heard.
Let the working people of all trades,
who really sympathize in the struggle
for a fair deal, enlist to bring it about
and, if necessary. give up their EN-
ployers, homes and friends, just as men
do who become soldiers in order to de-
fend their country in time of war.
The one is as important as the other.
In union there is sure victory, and SYM
pathy put in action will soon bring
turmoil and violence to an end.

POLITICS ENDED THE STRIKE.

IN POLITICIAN has settled the strike troubles in Philadelphia
IN Senator Penrose, the Republican State leader, held off and
made no sign until yesterday, and then he stepped in. Bust
ness and financial interests had failed to bring about a settlement,
and it was left to Penrose to dramatically appear at the eleventh
hour and force the traction company to make terms. 1t is evident
that Penrose could have accomplished the same result in the be-
ginning, and thus spared the city the enormous financial loss it
has sustained and the lives that have been sacrificed; but there was
method in the delay. The immediate success of his interference
demonstrates at once the domination of traction interests in Phila-
delphia by politics. Senator Penrose, coming from Washington,
had more power than all the great business, manufacturing and
financial interests of the city combined.

There is no limit of time in the Senate. With 70 bills in the Legis-
lature. at least 100 more will be added. The Legislature last year
enacted 272 bills that became laws. If as large a record is made
this more than five hundred bills will find the legislative
