CONDEMNS GAG" RULE
IN CITIZENS ASSOCIATION

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Your intelligent reporter. II he lives a
thousand years, will never come nearer
hitting the mark squarely in the face
as he did when he spoke of the gag
rule adopted at the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association last Tuesday night.
What a shame and disgrace to such a
body of men!
1t is wrong for a body of men to adopt
a gag rule in order to hinder business
in a citizens association. where dis
cussion is supposed to enlighten the
members present for the best interests
and welfare of the community in which
the association is duly organized; why,
the very man who presented the gag
rule for its adoption spoke nearly ff-
teen minutes instead OF the limited
time of five minutes in behaff OF the
secretary, who was the object OF dis
cussion.
1t has been the talk of the Heights
since the meeting, this adoption OF q
gag rule in order to transact business.
1t is sham and a shame. Courtesy
being a law of nature, the first man
to violate his own rule was not called
to order, as no one desired to be dis
courteous to a president Of the asso-
citation. Gag rule is not supposed to
enter into citizens association, as IT
is an organization to look after special
interests of its section without preJu-
dice to his fellow-man or neighbor. but
brotherly love at all hazards. The

, former from openly espousing the suf-
frage cause, and this enemy to his
progress, lurking perhaps unconsciously
in his thought, will continue to deter
him until both suffragists and male re-
formers concentrate their numerical
strength into a general progressive
movement. Those thinking men and
women who favor the formation of a
new national party, pledged to female
suffrage, should write me for a copy Of
the declaration Of principles of the Ma
would OFFER to both male reformers and
suffragists a logical means for attaining
success The issue being liberty VS..
bondage, all reformers must direct their
efforts toward increasing that ethical
quality called liberty of conscience, as q
valuable national asset. Few males
question the fundamental fact Of the
equality of the sexes, and the league 8
plan for effective warfare will impel
men of principle to openly acknowledge
their convictions When this Is accomp-
shine over the land and tyranny of spe-
cial privilege will disappear.
The paid votaries of unjust legislation
may argue with noise and fury, but see
ing the united forces of progressive
males and invincible suffragists, their
courage will fail Their challenges will
become empty boastings and their
threats vain declaration. They will be
met by the orderly forces of patriotism
and reform, and will be obliged to
beat it" Thus the powerlessness of

pie. where it always belongs.

SCORES JUVENILE COURT
ANTI-SKATING EDICT

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Juvenile Court Judgc>De Lacy is the
most freely advertised individual Of
Washington City. Leaving out the
nearly everyday appearance Of his
smiling picture in the press, he IS re-
ported in daily editions, morning and
eve ming, as saying so much that IT Is
difficult to determine what to believe.
Accordingly, in the publication by the
papers that he had ordered the police
TO arrest all children found roller skat-
ing after dark and escort them to their
homes and there lay down the law and
the order OF the court tn their parents,
/ simply thought it scrIe more adve:-
tisement of Judge De Lacy, and l won
dered if there were any law for such
order of the Juvenile Court and what
would be the criterion of the police in
drawing distinction between children
and not children.
And reading a little further I find
news of mass meetings Of citizens IN
protest, and arguments of principals OF
schools against the Juvenile Courts
order TO the police TO arrest children
1Cller skating on tho streets after dark.
1t seems clear that before such waste
of time and action 1t would have been
better to have ascertained whether the
Juvenile Court really issued such order.
There is 10 curfew law. There is no
law against children being on streets III

orderly and violating law are children

Court, and only when convicted of same
art they subject to rule or an order or
court. Judges have NO authority to
make laws. That is legislative func-
ton.

on very dull and rainy day attempt
ing to while away the time. Surely a
cold, drab sort of day should have been
enough like dear old Lunnun to have
made a true born Briton feel at home.
But the fact is that tue eldest son of
Charles Dickens has lived in Australia
so much that an eternal drizzle is as
liable to affect him as it would any
other part of the human race.
About all he could see of the passing
throng was a procession of umbrellas
and varied assortment of ankles. So,
with merry play on one of the best
known lines of his godfather he re-
marked: Better fifty years Of Europe
than an ankle of Back Bay He in
sists that it was the veriest jest. But
like some of the other parodies on
Tennyson's verses the consequences
have been disastrous. For instance,
the man who made allusion to Tenny-
sons own love of the pipe by quoting,
"The early pipe of half awakened
bards,' is said to have won the poet's
undying enmity.
At all events, the eliminates Of Mr..
Dickens choose to take very seriously
his reflection upon the Back Bay
ankles. Like the tale of the Three
Black Crows, it grew tremendously as
it circulated from mouth to mouth and
afterward. in the newspapers. 1t was
alleged that what he really said was
that the Back Bay ankle was "Beefy-
beefy as Mrs. Micawber's own" This
Mr.. Dickens denies especially, while en-
tering a general denial of the general
charge of having said anything which
could be regarded as a serious refec-
tion upon the grace and curve of the
dainty Back Bay extremities. But
everybody knows how far a lie can
travel before Truth gets it's boots on,
and the indications are that the Back
Bay residents apparently are like the
son of Thetis who was particularly
sensitive in the region of the heel.
Mr.. Dickens may decide to cut short
his trip on account of the consequence
of his ill-timed joke, and returning
home may add as disagreeable a chap
ter on Americans as his father wrote
about us half a century ago.

WANTS NEW CARS ON
MT. PLEASANT LINE

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Last year I remember reading with in
terest in your progressive paper a great
deal in regard to the poor service on
the Mt. Pleasant car line via Connec-
ticus avenue. 1 have been a subscriber
to your admirable paper for many years
and have always taken a deep interest
in the Mail Bag letters and hope you
will grant me a space to say a few
words with reference to the Mt Pleas
ant car service.
Every morning as I go down town to
office at o'clock notice that the cars
are crowded before they reach Eight
eenth and Columbia road, and plssen-
gers boarding the cars from that point
as far as Dupont circle are compelled
to stand all of the way to the bhsiness
section of the city. This condition could
easily be remedied by placing larger
cars and more of them than those now
in use. The P.-A--Y.-E. type would
solve the problem. Why couldn't the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany place them on this particular line,
where traffic is increasing steadily
The Georgetown line is certainly for
tunate to haze these cars. We people
or Mt. Pleasant are growing tired of
being joStled and snaken up Dy the old
style cars in use and plead for the big
cars, which run smoothly and handle
the crowds quickly and comfortably.
Thees yellow cars running to the Capt.
tol and Thirteenth and D streets are
more on the order of a freight than a
city railway conveyance. The city of
Washington is growing out in this di-
rection and needs attention.
The conductor does not have to walk
6ll over the sore feet of passengers to
collect fares on these P.-A.-Y.-E. cars,
while on the old cars everyone is an
noyed for the entire trip by the passing
back and forth Of the Industrious con-
ductor.
1 have also noticed that there is often
congestion at the doors, caused by pas
sengers trying to get on while others
are alighting. Time Is lost in this way,
not to mention the discomfort Of those
trying to get OF.
Ali we ask for Is more cars and bet
ter cars. The pay-as-you-enter will
please the many patrons / am sure,
and 1 can safely say that the railway
company Will hear no more complaints
from citizens using this line If they in
stall this type Of car on one Of Its
most popular branches.
l hope that the time Is near when the
dream of the Mt. Pleasant citizen for
an excellent car service will come
true. If It does we will all wear the
smile that won't come OF"
= Yours very truly,
HOWARD F. PERRY. .

the way to get reform is through elect
ing Mr.. German and a Democratic
Legislature.
Mr.. Blair Lee, the man whom the
machine SO desperately opposed that
it was willing to commit the outrages
that have now been in part exposed,
is among the men who are urging that
German must be elected in order that
the men who made German may be
brought to book!
To such pathetic straits may a good
man be brought by unlimited devotion

Urged Governmental
Inspection of Dams

is suggestion offered TO Uncle Sam by
the Rev. Ernest Smith, rector of 81
Johns Episcopal Cnurcn. He an
nounced this plan, with caustic criticism
of those responsible for the Austin flood,
in his sermon last night.
"A terrible outrage" IS how the Rev
Smith brands the situation at Austin.
The corporations do not seem to care
for human life, so long as they are able
to pay huge dividends" he said. This
same love of gain without adequate
service is responsible for child labor and
the white slave traffic"
The Washington times., 1911-10-09
WHEN PLENTY RESULTS IN
POVERTY.

The commonest proof that something
is radically wrong with present-day
economic conditions is the fact that
such thing as overproduction is pos.
sible. Nobody has any conception yet
of the real consuming possibilities Of
given population. We only know
that the consuming capacity of nc
people has ever yet been reached, OF
is likely ever to be reached.
Manifestly, if the world produces
more corn, wheat, iron, and cotton this
year than ever before, the world has
more real wealth. 1t may mark down
the prices, in terms of money; but it
is none the less wealthier than before
1t has more days supplies between it
and starvation.
The South is seriously menaced with
fourteen million-bal crop of cotton
crop that would break all records.
And what is the result!
Instead of rejoicing over their pros
perity, instead of boasting of their
great riches, the Southern cotton
raisers are protesting that they haven't
anything like such an amount of cot
ton. They don't want the country and
the world to believe they have so
much, because they know that if it
comes TO be accepted that so great a
yield has been produced the prices will
60 down.
But is it best, in the long run, to
attempt to defy the laws of sound
economies? The recent Montgomery
convention of delegates from the cot
ton raising interests resolved that the
crop has been overstated, and that
farmers should hold back their cotton
till they can get IA cents. OF course,
the planters are not taking the advice.
People inevitably sell on a falling and
hold on rising market. 1t is human
nature, the reorganization of which is
difficult task.
The Southern planter feels poor
when he has a record breaking crop
and must have his price shaved. The
rest of the country inclines to sympa
thize with him. He tries to organize
an agreement to hold back his supplies
and this causes uncertainty about
future business conditions. So there
is observed the illogical condition OF
plenty-unprecedented bounty-produc-
ing tendency to hard times!
Give the world a fair chance and it
will use all the cotton the South can
produce. The world has never seen
the time when it couldn't wear more
shirts, eat more loaves of bread, and
take more recreation, than it actually
gets, without embarrassment. The
artificial economic condition which pre-
vents it enjoying its bounties and feel,
ing prosperous in possession of them
is all wrong. It is the thing all the
statesmen and economists are trying
to locate and remedy.
