Menace TO Children.
BLAMED

Rights of Citizens Disregarded,
Says Mt. Pleasant Resident,
BY GalninS.

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
noted IN Wednesdays issue OF
your paper an article on Skating on
the Sidewalks by a man who had
once been a boy" and If you VIII
Kindly permit me space 1 would like
20 answer the gentleman who had
once been a boy"
If this gentleman viii come up 10
Kenyon street some evening between
s and $50, and see the lines Of So
called children skating on the side
walk. coming down the walk at a rate
Of at least fifteen miles an hour, in
strings OF five, six, and seven one
holding on TO the other, Of boys rang
ing in ages from fourteen 20 twenty
years. and see these children en-
dangering the lives Of all the little
children on this street, perhaps the
gentleman who had once been a boy
might change his opinion
And again. II he should see these
same street gamius stand Up and tel
the mothers Of small children that
they did not care what damage they
might do. and that not even the police
could stop them. Is L saw last even
ms. he might reach the conclusion
that there Is difference between
liberty and license
And. again, II ne should see these
larger boys call the man VINO pre-
sumed 10 step in and take the part OF
the mothers, all sorts OK vile names
such as coward and -he like. and also
tell the same man that they could DO
as they pleased on the Sidewalk and
repeat the statement that not even
the police could stop them perhaps
'the man who had once been a boy
might again change his opinion.
There Is q difference between liberty
for children and license and DelleNe
that some people have reached the
stage where they nave become mawN
ishly inclined 10 permit children 10
override all the rights Of others, not
only the rights OF other children Dur
also the rights Of pedestrians
There have been many times during
the past month II / had not gone into
the street / would have been simply
ridden down by these long lines Of
children" Very probably the man
who had once been boy Is Twins
IN an apartment, or perhaps n 4
neighbCrhCod where the children are
taught better than in this ueighbOr-
hood, but when he takes up The DIS
CUSsiOn Of a matter OF this kind, he
should be brOad-minded enough 20
try TO cover all sections OF the CITY,
and not the one little spot IN which
he happens 10 live
sections OF the city Is II the right
kind Of liberty 10 permit these chill
dren 10 roam the Avenue at almost
any hour Cf the nightZ / have seen
them out as late as II o'clock myself
Would the right kind OF father or
mother permit this sort Of thing
Very probably the man who had once
been a boy" did not labor under any
for that reason he believes that chill

not liberty. Very truly yours

you are sending them out Inder a 1-cent
stamp. and If you will OBSERVE, when
your mail IS laid on your desk in the
morning. you will notice that you dump
the stuff which comes to you under J.
cent postage into the waste basket IN
opened, so how you can expect other
people TO read your circulars when you
won't read theirs is a mystery to me,
compared with which the age Of Ann
is as plain as day.
Second. you have seven different
sheets of paper in those envelopes.
They are so bulky that no one save a
farm hand on a Sunday would attempt
to wade through all that stuff to find
out what they are about II you want
people to read your stuff send out a
good process or typewriter letter
signed with a pen and send 1t under a
2-cent stamp and you win have a chance
to get some Of the money back you are
wasting on this scheme.
IT have a friend who started in to
market a book which was OF interest to
only one class OF men, a list Of whose
names were easily attainable, and he de-
cided 70 do X by letter. His first at
tempt was to send out $4,000 unsealed

these he sold 81 books for SlOO, which
cost him IS cents. Printing. folding. and
postage left him with a loss OF $41S 43
on the deal
His next attempt was with 5000 Of
the same circulars sealed under a 2-cent
stamp. These made him LIS sales. and
a profit OF $54sO5.
you will notice that the simple affx-
ing of a 2-cent stamp made the scheme
bring thirteen times as many replies.
This taught him a lesson. and his next
venture was a strong brief letter of just
ten lines. He hired twenty men, giving
them 21z cents a letter to write and a6-
dress them BY hand. Each letter was

Popular Band Music.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
notice with interest IN the editions
Of The Times OF late, that many Of the
music loving citizens Of Washington
have voiced their opinions through the
columns Of your paper in regard 10 the
class Of music rendered by the United
States Marine Band at the Capitol
Grounds and u e White House 7 fully
agree with them in their requests for
more popular music, dispensing with
some Of the fugues and other heavy
compositions.
Quoting Lieutenant Santlemann from
one Of his late replies, 1 believe that If
a vote were taken. a large majority
would favor the popular airs"
Very respectfully yours.

LIGHTING UP ANOTHER HIGH
COST CASE.

The high cost of dying was one of
the subjects discussed this week at
the convention of the National Funeral
Directors Association in Detroit. The
subject is no less important than that
Of the high cost of living, but it is not
often discussed authoritatiyely and in
something more than whispers. The
discussion at Detroit showed no trace
of professional reserve.
1t is stated that "there is no other
business more Overcrowded; that the
number of undertakers, $4,000, should
be reduced one-half; that in such re-
duetion lies the secret of more reason
able funeral expenses" But, somehow.
1t is difficult to bring about a redue-
ton. Notwithstanding the protests
that the huge profits" are fictitious.
there Is a steady rush to the field.
Yet, strange to say, the overcrowding
does not result in any competition
which would be favorable to the pub
lie. On the contrary, it maintains the
conditions against which people now
and then murmur, and so it is plain
that If any relief is to be realized, it
must come through exclusion or COM
bination.
a the case of the high cost of Iiv-
Ing one OF the complaints is that there
Is too much combination or exclusion.
in this case the reverse, we are told,
Is true.
