SPEAKER CLARK MAKES A POINT.

@ PEAKER CLARK in his reply to President Tafts speech at
~ Manchester, Mass. makes a very effective comparison be-
tween the method of framing and passing the Payne. Adrich
bill and that of the Underwood tariff bills, which Mr.. Taft had
charged were passed in haste and recklessly and for politics only"
Mr. Clark shows that the members of the present ways and means
committee have had years of experience in tariff matters and can
qualify as experts, whereas none of the members of the Presidents
tariff board is an expert. AS for the comparative time taken in
preparing the legislation the record shows that while the hearings
on the PayneAldrich bill and on fourteen schedules occupied a little
over four months the present ways and means committee took
three months for the preparation of a single schedule. "And never,
theless and Notwithstanding says Mr.. Clark, "the President signed
the Payne Ald~richSmoot bill and vetoed ours"

AN ANTI-PLSTOL LAW.

IN LAW in New York that is to be effective on Friday makes
I1\ the purchase or sale of a pistol without a license a mis-
demeanOr. The law also makes it a misdemeanor to retain
a pistol in possession or give it away II sell without a permit.
These provisions seem contradictory and are calculated to defeat
The object of the law, which is to discourage the pistolcarrying
habit. In New Jersey the law provides that dealers shall take the
names and addresses of persons who purchase pistols and shall
keep a registry of the same for the police. The New Jersey law is
practically a dead letter. But there should be operative laws,
strictly enforced, to regulate the sale and use of deadly weapons.
Such Legislation would largely reduce the percentage of capital
crimes in the United States.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Now that the paving question has
be well to do a little a~gitating for
proper sidewalks along that thorough
fare. The condition of the sidewalks
at some points is a disgrace for sucn a
street in such a city.
Right at the Four Corners, a traffic
centre second to only one other in the
world, there are places in which walk
ing is so bad that the roadway is pref

collects in puddles and will not run oft.
The attention of the Board of Works
should be called to this nuisance.

A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY

The celebration today at the Old
Stone Church at Fort Defiance OF the
twentieth anniversary of the passionate
of Rev. J. N. Van Devanter is of more
than passing interest. Possessing In
marked degree those qualities which
attract men, Mr.. Van Devanter has
built up congregation that includes
many OF varying religious beliefs. By
his kindness, his gentleness, his char
ity of thought as well as of speech and
action, combined with an earnest and
ever present desire to help others, he
has appealed to all persons with whom
he has come in contract, and few men
are more respected and loved. "Mr.
Van Devanter has won the love Of all, !"
said one of his friends in explaining
the hold he has on his congregation.
That he may hold it, and that his in
fuence may long endure is the earnest
wish, not only of the people. of his
own faith, but of those of all shades OF
religious opinion.

FIFTEEN YEARS FOR MURDER
Mock Profit Convicted by Jury at

Charlottesville, Va, March latter
being out nearly three hours, the Pal
myra jury in the case of Mack Profit
charged with the murder of o. "A. Pace
in the flatwoods section of Fluvanna
county ON December 25, returned a
verdict of murder in the second degree
and fixed the punishment at fifteen
years in the penitentiary.

Harlow, charged with completely in
the murder. was set for Monday, March
20. The prisoners will be repres ented
by J. o. Shepherd and L. o. Haden,
and the Commonwealth by Pembroke
Petit.
The crime aroused much Indignation
in the Palmyra section. Excitement
ran SO high that the prisoners were
finally removed from the Fluvanna
county Jail to the Charlottesville Jail
for safe-keeping. After the return of
the accused to Palmyra early last week
to stand trial the Jail was guarded
every night, and every precaution was
taken for the safety of the prisoners.

ship will be considerably increased.
Speaker-elect Clark has voluntarily
shorn himself of mnch of the power
exercised by his predecessors. The
committees will be appointed by COM
mittee of the House itself and it is the

What matters are considered will be
considered as a matter of right and not
of the Speakers favor. The iron hand
in legislation Will have passed away.
Cannon and the "OId Guard" predict
that the democratic plan will be a
failure, that the House will be in a
continual tangle and that necessary
legislation will be blocked. Of course
they will do all in their power to make
it fail, for it's success will lprove that
Cannonism and its evils were unneces-

NEVADA AND THE DEATH PENALTY

Nevada seems about to 60 the limit
in the matter of tenderness to her
criminals whom she is compelled to
put to death. She is not proposed to
abolish the death penalty, but she pro-
poses to be as courteous about the mat
ter as circumstances will permit and
to give condemned criminals their
choice as to how they shall die, either
by the rome or. quick poison. The
poison proposed is hydrocyanic acid,
Of which, it is said, one drop on the
end of the tongue will produce instant
death. A physician is to hand the
acid to those prisoners who elect to die

Should a prisoner refuse to taxc the
acid after having elected to do SO he is
to be taken out and hanged.
FMS seems to be return to the old
laws of the Greeks and the Romans
which permitted persons of distinc-
ton, condemned to die to chose their
own way of dying. AS Judge tKava-
naugh of Chicago, points out, Socrates
drank the hemlock, Nero intimated
to Seneca that 1t was time for him to
die, SO that philosopher got into hot
bath and opened his veins, out he
didn't die quickly enough, and then
took poison. 1t was a slow poison and
the soldiers who attended him became
impatient and suffocated him.
Objection is made to the Nevada
law because the man who would elect
to die by poison would in reality com.
NIT suicide. 1t would also rob the
death penalty of many of its terrors
and make it too easy for thecriminaIly
inclined.
The electric chair, as we have it in
Virginia seems the best way of dispos.
ing Of criminals who have forfeited
their lives to the state. 1t is quick, as
humane as any way yet discovered OF
taking human life, and it certainly
has its terrors, which tend to hold in
check certain element among the
criminals. The Nevada plan on the
whole seems TO be an unwise one, and
certainly it is unusual.

EXPECT A HOT GAME
University of Virginia to Play
Worlds Chsmpions on March IS

University of Virginia, March g.
Since closing for the game with the
Philadelphia Athletics, the Virginia
team has been down to hard mid
season work, scrub games are held
daily and Coach Rigler is confident OF
giving the Worlds Champions an in
teresting game. The Athletics arrive
in Charlottesville on the afternoon OF
Monday, March 18th, and will pass
through Staunton at 1:2O p. M, and it
is probable that q large crowd from
Stanton will go down to Charlottes-
Vile to witness the game. Arrange
ments are being made by Virginia to
have the train stop at Lambeth Field
thereby saving considerable time.
Virginia's pitching staff is showing
up especially strong for this time OF
the year, those in the lime light at
present are Wilmer, the star of last
years team, Gravely, who was the
mainstay of Randolph-Macon last
season, Grant, consistent pltcner
from the Episcopal High School,
Rixey, from last years second team
and several others that seem to be
s'comers."
The Worlds Champions stopping
over in Charlottesville for game will
probably attract the largest crowd to
Lambeth Field that has ever wit
messed an athletic event in this section,
large representation is expected from
all of the nearby towns. The Ath-
letics are now at Hot Springs, Va,
and letter from Manager Connie
Mack stated that his team would be in
good shape by next Monday, he also
stated that "Chief" Bender would GO
in the box first for the Champions.
