To Censor MOvings Pictures.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The craze now for moving pictures
which seems to be growing more popular
each day. calls for comment. and the
public should demand a better class OF
pictures, which should be regulated 20
nigher and more enlightened usefulness.
The writer has in the past week visited
some Of the so-called good ones. moved
by the attractive announcements on the
bill boards outside, to find one must sit
through and witness several horrible
p6rtrayals Of the brute nature before
coming 10 the ones advertised as the
leading cards. Since the fancy for NOV
ing pictures seems to have taken such
growth and affords many the opportunity
Of passing an hour OF recreation at a
small expense, it would seem more profit
able If the proprietors of such places
would furnish the public with the kind
that would not I'LL the mind with such
unseemly sights as some pictures do. For
the benefit OF those whose minds are
more or less inclined to be morbid, the
witnessing Of such scenes are apt TO have
a bad effect, and for the sake OF the
good OF such, it would be a good idea
TO eliminate the unpleasant ones and
place instead something that would in
struct and at the same time entertain.
One does not know when entering such
places that he must witness the enact
ment Of some phases of life which had
better be eliminated as the effect of sug-
gestion TO many minds not under proper
/ control is apt to result in disaster. The
writer has heard (authentically) Of at
least one suicide as a result Of visiting
mOving-picture shows, and believes the
popularity would be as great If some OBJ
sectional ones were rejected.

VIEWS OF PEOPLE ON MANY TOPICS
WHAT You THINK ABOUT IT?

the principle that the laborer is worthy
Of his hire? The policy OF saving at the
spigot and wasting at the bung hole will
not replenish the excheduer or command
the respect of the great army OF gov
eminent employees who are invited to
pay hall rent to give their friends draw
ing high salaries an opportunity TO ex-
plot a good cause in the interest Of
political advertising
Between the upper and neither mill
stones Of false economy and the high cost
of living, the life of the average govern
ment clerk is rapidly approaching a
tragedy Stop this nonsense about Gre
ating a pension % fund by compulsory
contributions from the pittance Of sal
airy received by the average clerk and
give employees a chance TO share in the
increase of salaries enjoyed by the men
higher up
This voices the real sentiment OF hun
dTeds OF clerks who felt coerced into
signing a petition" bearing the names Of
bureau chiefs and heads of departments.
Justice, not charity, is what the govern
ment clerk wants. and we resent being
exploited for the glory of politicians.

Colonization Compared.

Editor The Washington Herald
A contemporary of The Washington
Herald, in recent edition, makes COM
parison of Spanish and English COLOMBIA
ton, to the discredit Of the former, Eng
land being shown as far superior in her
ciyilizing methods and results.
AS matter of fact, history shows that
Spain has done more for civilization than
England and the United States combined,
and it is distinctly absurd 10 attempt to
bring Spain down to the level of Eng
land. whose alleged civilization is the
blacklist disagreement in the history OF
the world.
What OF England's colonization? She
has looted India, and made no adequate
provision for its constantly recurring
famines, in one Of which, not long ago
10000 900 people persisted. The civiliza,
ton she is introducing into Africa may
be judged by her shipments to that coun-
try, which. as has been shown. consist OF
more rum than Of all the other commodi.

time or place IN which England has pro

reign, had 20,000 females unsexed, who
stripped naked and with a strap arounC
their waists and a chain between theil
legs, were hauling coal from the mines Il

This sentence furnishes a fair type Of
the much-vaunted English progress.
daresay there is no one who can point al
such a condition of civilization existing
at any time under Spanish rule.

Retirement for Government Clerks
Editor The Washington Herald;

Editor The W dSllnElQu litFaAIs
What legal right would the government
have as an employer Of men and women
engaged at specified wages to withhold a
part Of such wages under the compulsory
savings plan? Has any employer the
right TO withhold wages agreed for equi-
table labor given? Is it not a peculiar
situation that e man or woman mentally
competent to transact governmental work
should need that government as a guar
dian of his private investments?
These are questions that are being
asked, by way Of protest, against the
proposed contributory plan for the re-
tirement Of aged and inc Epes-.stt7--c9 Gov
eminent employees.
Had not such protests as the above
been made all along the line. even since
the beginning Of this retirement move
ment, We would have more than likely
had a Just and reasonable retirement
law, and the employees now in line for
being dropped from the government rolls
would have no need TO make appeals for
assistance. nor would there be any ne
cessity for the suggested missionary
work" on this subject for clerks in their
respective home Congressional districts.
believe that the views Of heads of the
various departments. coTabined with the
Finance committees and committees on
Civil Service Reform Of Congress and
the suggestions Of the President upon this
matter. is sufficient to establish that
which is just along this line
1 do not for one moment believe that
these high officials would even suggest
anything that would work q hardship
upon the people who are cheerfully bear
ing the burdensome portion Of the gov
ernment's existence
II the eontributory plan shall require
an increase in salary, I believe it will
be given.
We are leaving all OF our other affairs
in the hands of the committees of Con-
gress: why not this?
It has been plainly shown that Con-
gress does not favor anything short of
a contributory plan OF retirement. This
has been shown from the very Offset.
Why clamor for something we see no
hope Of receiving. II sees the wisdom In
requiring the people to help finance this
big project, and knows better what the
government is prepared to bear at this
time; and it is at this time that we
want q retirement law; then why not ac-
cept the plans that Congress may pro-

Clerks Want Justice.
Edltor The Washington Herald .

Editor me washington Herald.
What the government clerk needs is
not wet nurse, but square deal. What
the public service needs is not retrench-
ment Of expenses by arbitrary reduc-
tions in appropriations for salaries, but
an adjustment of salary and service on
business principles.
In the list Of honorable mentions. +"
announced for the big meeting at Mason
&c Temple. Thursday evening, appeared
the name of bureau officer who pub
licly criticised a member of Congress a
few weeks ago for advocating, contrary
to the official recommendation Of the
aforesaid bureau ofieer, an increase in
the salary Of clerks. rather than a re-
ductiOn in the appropriation for the
bureau, by dropping superfiuous employees
from the rolls.
Isn't It time to call a halt on this
hoeus pocus game with the government
clerk as the victim. and acknowledge

Police Efficiency.
Iditor The washington Hrrald:

Editor The Washington Herald:
Regarding your article about efficiency
90 eff the Washington police force, in
which you claim that one in ten persons
in the city were placed under arrest dur
ing the past year, I regret that The
Herald did not more explicitly state the
nature or cause of such a. vast number OF
arrests. But / believe that a VISIT to
the Police Court any morning and close
inspection of the workings and the ma
ture of the cases 90 brought before It
would answer the question. Further. may
! ask, how many criminals OF a serious
nature have been apprehended say, in
the last several years? How many muir
derers (of all murders committed in the
District in the past ten years. have been
apprehended? Perhaps an answer 10 the
last question may throw some light OH
the efficiency 60 of the police force.

That Tar Again.

Editor The Washington Herald:
AS a visitor in Washington, ''the City
Beautiful" I was surprised beyond all
expression TO see some OF the streets
covered with tar. I viii admit that the
city is a City Beautiful except for the
tar, and why a corporation is permitted
to so outrageously destroy the eleanli-
ness OF the streets by spreading tar on
them TO ooze out and be tracked all
over the city. and TO get all over peoples
shoes and clothes, Is beyond my under
standing ! very much enjoyed reading
your article on this subject. and hope
the good work will continue until the
last trace of tar has disappeared.

King Edward Died a CathOIiol

Editor The Washington Herald:
In your issue of June l6 an article from

Did King Edward die Catholic?"
want to answer 1t by saying that he did;
he died in the faith that he loved most
dearly-the Anglican faith-and he over
and over showed how very dear that faith
was TO him. The article says ''the King
