Washington, d. C., and Thomas ID. Reid, of
Boyd.
cannot find words to express her many
virtues, but this much | will say. that dur
ing all her long period OF sickness and pain
she was never heard to complain, but bore
her cross with true Christian fOrtitude She
was good wife and a devoted mother
and her loss will be felt deeply and long
One precious to our hearts has gone,
The voice we loved Is stilled;
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled.
Our Father in His wisdom called
The boon His love had given;
And though on earth the body lies,
Her soul is safe in heaven.
The golden gates were open,
A gentle voice said Come
And with farewells unspOken.
She calmly entered home.

In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear grandmother. Mrs. Catharine Sullivan
who died one year ago, April 10. 1909.
She is safe at home with Jesus now,
The friend she loved so well
The glory Of that land unseen
No mortal tongue can tell.
She shall never be forgotten,
Never shall the memory Of her fade
Sweet thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where she is laid.

Katharine Sullivan.

Dr.. HIck. Criticized.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t was very interesting to read in
the public press few days ago about
DR.. Hieks's opinion as to how the in
sane asylum ought to be run. At this
late hour he tells about the neglect and
abuses in the hospital during his time,
yet never opened his mouth at the time.
Now he would tell us how to look after
these poor unfortunates! He proves
by his own story that he is not capa-
BILE to manage a place like Overbrook.
Anyone who knows of cruelty and will
not try to suppress it is as bad as the
oppressor.
DR.. Hicks, from his own statement,
had better wait until the superintend-
ency of the hospital is offered to him
before he refuses it.
He talks of DR. Dill being hampered
by the board giving him political
Scrubs" That may all be true, as il
is in all political institutions, yet what
is DIR. Dill but a politician and polit-
ical appointee-still holding his position
to this time by political protection?

he took for them, reached homt,
and after a short and evidently un-
satisfactory conversation with his
wife, threw her out of a second
story window.
There isn't married man in this
city who -openly-condone
such an action. He might do a lol
of thinking, but he would hesitate
a long time before he would come
right out and say that he thought
the action might be justifiable.
What we need is more self-con-
troll, or rather a strengthening
through daily exercise in the open
air of what we have. Had the
Newarker who figured so promi-
nently in this little incident exer-
cised his self-control fifteen minutes
each day before meals he would
have been able to resist the tempta-
ton of tossing his wife into the
areaway.
Quite number of men whose
helpmates have to. weigh in on
grain scales could not, of course,
be tempted in this way, except in a
dream, but there are all sorts of
other temptations which self-con-
troll will help put the Indian sign on.

present the anomaly of a people
stripped of the right to foster their
own industry and to counteract the
most selfish and destructive policy
which might be adopted by foreign ma
tions. This surely cannot be the case.
This Indispensable power thus sur
rendered by the states must be within
the scope of the authority on the sub
ject expressly delegated to Congress.
I'm this conclusion am confirmed as
well by the opinions of President Wash

Would Regulate Auto Traffic.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The establishment of so-called
islands of safety at the canal bridge
on Broad street is to be highly com
mended, and Sergeant Stuckey and his
men are doing good work at that point.
While we are remedying traffic con-
ditions wouldn't it be we'll to do some
traffic on Broad street south of Market
street, Under the present conditions
it is really dangerous for any but the
liveliest person to attempt to- cross
Broad street at any point from Market
street to Clinton avenue, as an almost
steady stream of autos is constantly
speeding up and down the street.
Drivers seem to feel that as soon as
| they leave Market street they are at
| liberty to open up speed, and I would
like to have some of our traffic guard
ians hold the watch on number OF
these speeders.
The hue and cry about the salvage
corps and the City Hospital ambulance
is the height of inconsistency when we
consider the almost constant danger
from private cars at the point I have
mentioned.
If we cannot regulate this matter in
any other way let us have patrolmen
stationed at the crossings to protect
and aid pedestrians who wish to pass
between the flying squadron of autos.

Democrats to recur at this time to the
doctrines of Andrew Jackson, as laid
down in his second annual message to
Congress? December, 1880; Messages

He says: Among the numerous
causes of congratulation the condition
of our impost revenue deserves special
| mention, inasmuch as it promises the
! means of extinguishing the public debt

nishes strong illustration of the prac-
tical effects of the present tariff upon
our commercial interests.
1.-THE object of the tariff is objected
to by some as unconstitutional, and it
is considered by almost all as defective
in many of its parts.
"The power to impose duties on i'm
ports originally belonged to the several
States. The right to adjust those duties
with a view to the announcement of
domestic branches of industry is so
completely incidental to the power that
it is difficult to suppose the existence
of the one without the other. The
States have delegated their whole au-
thority over imports to the general gov
ernment without limitation or restric-
ton, saving the very inconsiderable
reservation relating to their inspection
laws. This authority having thus en-
tirely passed from the States, the right
to exercise it for the purpose of pro-
lection does not exist in them. and
consequently if it be not possessed by

SOMETHING TO AVOID.

Minions of the law and the offl-
cials who interpret it are rather too
prone in this country to interfere in
purely domestic affairs at the drop
of hat or other slight provocation.
Occasionally, however, discussion
between husband and wife concern
ing mental, moral, and assorted
shortcomings, as seen in each by
the other, reaches, so bizarre and
er-spectacular a, climax as to seem
to warrant police notice.
Such case forced itself through
a window sash and into the glare Of
the white light of publicity in this
city, Thursday. A Newarker, whose
troubles were only deepened and
heightened and broadened by what

The proprietor of the motor car which
the police believe crashed into a buggy
on Pelham parkway Thursday and
caused the death of young woman has
been arrested and committed to jail
without bail on charge of homicide.
If the charge can be proved there will
be a general feeling that justice
has been defeated if the prisoner is
not made to suffer the, full penalty Of
the law. After the collision resulted
fatally for one of the three occupants
of the buggy the chauffeur drove his
machine ahead at full speed without
stopping to inquire the nature of the

When a man escapes the conse-
quences of a crime through suicide, the
public usually feels that it has been
cheated. This feeling does not neces-
sarily grow out of a thwarted desire
for vengeance. 1t is rather founded
on the belief that another example for
erring mankind has been rendered less
effective than it might have been. The
story of that man who murdered the
wife of his benefactor in West New
York and managed to shoot himself
fatally just as he was about to be
arrested, will be read by few persons
who will not be conscious of a feeling
of dissatisfaction. But after all, the
suicide who has time to plan his deed
in advance doesn't escape punishment.
