Eye.Piercing Hat Pins.

Long hat pins figure in the news col
umns. Two Chicago women had a fight
with these weapons, which were recently
defended before the board of alderman of
that city as woman's only means Of self
protection. The efficiency of the hat pin for
this purpose, however, is discredited by the
fact that after much jabbing and punch
ing the only visible wound was a scratch
at the corner of one woman's eye. More
serious was hat pin accident in Lafay
cite, Indiana, where a local physician
was caught In the eye by the hat pin of
woman in front of him. against whom he
was showed by sudden surging of the
crowd. He may lose his sight in conse-
ouence of this mishap. From Brussels
Belgium, comes report of a judgment of
$1,000 damages awarded to a man who
was blinded In one eye by hat pin. He
was standing on the platform OF street
car, which stopped suddenly with a jerk
causing the hat pin of the woman in front
Of him to pierce his eye. The damages
were assessed equally against the woman
and the street car company, Solomonian
decision OF eminent equity.
II the women who wear hat pins under
stand that they assume heavy RESPONSE
bility thereby they may be inclined to
agree to the imposition of regulations linn
iting the length of the protrusion of
points beyond the hat crown. Every per-
son who goes into a crowd in which wom-
en- are present. on the streets, in the cars
and places of public assemblage, takes a
serious chance. This is not a joke, but a
grave question Of personal safety. The
long hat pins now in vogue are a source
OF actual danger to multitude of people,
and II the women will not themselves
show reason In the premises the law
should require them under a penalty to
bring their hat fastenings within the
range of public safety.

Save the English Language.

From the Lowell Courier-Citizen.
Why should Spanish be taught in the
Boston schools? Boston has one school
entirely filled with Italian children who
are learning to speak English, and in
struction in that tongue is more or less
required in the majority of other Boston
schools. The great need of instruction at
present Is to save the English language
from being so corrupted by slang and
INSTRUMENTATION that future generations
will hardly know the speech of the fore
fathers Of the country. Give the child
at least one language fully understood
and properly spoken. and let that be
English by all means. The high school
pupil has troubles enough today with
mastering sufficient French and German
to make himself misunderstood on lis
first trip abroad. and one hesitates to con-
template what might happen with work
ing knowledge OF Spanish.

The Charity Need.

The organized charities of the District
are in need of $1,000 more money in order
to run to the end of the fiscal year. Oc-
tober ]. They have been through hard
campaign this winter, relieving an eX-
ceptional amount of human suffering, re-
adjusting conditions affecting the poor.
preventing acute privation and saving
lives. This work has been conducted with
care and economy and the results reflect
credit upon the men and women engaged
in it.
Out of a population of close upon $50, 900
only about / 500 individuals have an
swered the appeals of these organizations
for funds this season. This is less than
one-half of 1 per cent of the inhabit-
ants of the District. These 1900 people
have given over $4,000. some Of them re-
spending several times to the successive
appeals and increasing their donations.
The proportion of charity givers should
be larger, not alone for the sake of the
fund, but for the sake of the people More
Washingtonians should take direct per-
sonal interest In the solving Of the pow
erty problem in this community. 1t Is
everybody's business. 1t affects every
class of society. Washington cannot sus-
tain such a condition as that which the
Associated Charities and the Citizens Re-
lief Association are annually combating
without suffering morally and physically.
No matter how little is given, something
should be donated by every person in
Washington with even the smallest mar
gin beyond the actual necessities. Ten
cents from each of the 10000 Of the es-
timated population would float the entire
charity work for the year on liberal basis,
with a surplus fund for emergencies.
This money should be in hand at the be-
ginning of the season. 1t should not be
necessary for those intrusted with this
responsibility to be forced continually to
pass the hat and to proclaim loudly the
urgent needs of the work. Charity funds
should be kept adequately filled without
promptings and urgings.
Now Is the time for those who have not
already given, some of the 34S, 500 who
are not yet on the lists, to come forward
to make up this small but necessary
deficit of $1,000. It is just as urgently
required as though the winter were only
beginning. The constructive work Of the
Associated Charities is now the order Of
the day. Upon the success of this work
depends the welfare of large portion of
the community. According as it is thor
oughly done the acute charity require
ments of the next winter will be lessened
The $1,000 now needed. which should be
provided without delay, may be consid-
cred as an investment in thrift and pros
perity. an insurance against suffering
next fall and winter. Now is the time
to give effectively.

the contest for the next House is going to
be unusually vigorous What better cam
paign material could be provided than
we'll digested legislation? Speeches made
and votes cast now on matters that will
enter into the campaign will be so much
to the good after the campaign opens.
Mr. Cummins was a little droll yester-
day, maybe without intending it. His ad-
vice to Mr.. Taft to initiate Mr.. Roosevelt
in dealing with Congress must have
caused many a decorous chuckle in the
chamber. The Iowa senator came to town
in the closing days of the Roosevelt re-
sime, and is not well advised of the criti-
cism in both Houses of Congress when
Mr.. Roosevelt was in full stride. 1t was
complained then that the White House
had annexed the Capitol, and that all
business was cut out and directed by the
President. White House senators and
White House representatives. so-called,
were held up to lidieule.
There was m&c eXaggeration in that,
as there is in b Cummns' complaint.
1t is not imprCper for President after
making a recommendation to Congress to
go into details by means of a bill drafted
with the view of assisting Legislators to
an understanding of his full meaning. He
would not think, of course, of demand
ing just that, under threat of veto. or
of personal dispeasure. What he sub
mits in that way is subject to the opinion
of Congress. That body may amend it,
or reject it outright, and prepare and
pass a bill of it's own.
But the main point is time. The pater-
nifty of the bill now under consideration is
of far less Importance than are it's pro-
visions. If they need revision let them be
revised now. A revision in time saves
a defeat.

An Iowa Veteran.

1t is reported that former Representa-
tive Hepburn will re-enter politics, and
try next fall for his old seat in the
House. After a long service in that body
he lost to his democratic opponent in
November, 1908. by only some 300 votes.
He is seventy-seven, but a stranger
would be justified in demanding an affi-
a.-vit to support the figures. He has
the port and the bearing of man much
younger, and his intellectuals are still in
prime working order.
Mr. Hepburn is we'll described in the
famous Gladstonian phrase-"an old par
liamentary hand" He first appeared
here as a member of the Forty-seventh
Congress, and remained three terms. He
then dropped out. but reappeared in the
Fifty-third Congress. and served then
continuously until defeated two years
ago.
But Mr.. Hepburn is more than a vet
eran in the congressional field. He has
marked talents for the work. He stood
among the foremost debaters on his side
Of the chamber. He had excellent COM
mittee assignments. and took a promi-
nent part in shaping most important leg
islation. He showed a large acquaint-
ance with the tariff question, the trust
question. and the railroad question and
was considered pretty sound on all three
by his party friends.
His constituents retired him at time
when he might have been of further i'm
portant use to them. The revision Of the
tariff last year would have brought out
his best points, and the measures OF the
nresent session would appeal strongly Ia
him The range of his information and
his powers of statement would be OF
great value to his party in the House
today.

Congress Should Take Time.

Mr.. Bailey is right. The bill now before
the Senate should be discussed fully. Not
only is il a very important measure, but
one certain to lead to court controversy
no matter what Its final form may be.
Eminent lawyers in the service of the
railroads are laying for it Their duty
will be to search II for defects. and take
advantage of any defects it may contain.
They will not lack for time. Let. there
fore. the peoples lawyers-the lawmakers
take plenty OF time, and do their work
with the greatest care. In such matters
haste and waste go together. A hastily
constructed statute about interests that
reach from ocean TO ocean might cost the
public heavily.
A to time. there is plenty of it. Why
should Congress race for an early adj
tournament? July /, or Is. would be a
good day. That would leave four months

Mr.. Cannon's letter and the President s
