MOVEMENT TO GIVE
NOTICES OF FIRE
Merchants Body Taking I'm.
portant Action!

Plans for notifying merchants Of the
outbreak of fire in the vicinity of their
stores at night are being worked out by
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, according to report made to
the Retail Merchants Association by
Secretary George H. Gall, at the regular
meeting last night.
Some difficulties are in the way, and
the traffic manager is working out a sys-
TEN that will give timely warning to
merchants whose property may be in
danger.
Recommendations were made that the
merchants close their stores all day on
July 4, and that the usual hour of closing
on the night before that date be OBJ
served.
A list of worthy charities was approved
by the board of governors, and will be
sent out at once to members. This is
the list approved by the Associated
Charities, and donations may be made to
these by any merchant who is inclined
to contribute without violating the Sec
tions of the bylaws governing contribu-
tions.
1t was decided to suspend the regular
monthly meetings of the organization
during the months of July and August.

the people will never get back the
money which they have been forged to
contribute toward these enormous and
unearned fortunes.
1t may be that the testimony will
show absolutely illegal actions. If so,
the government ought not to hesitate
to bring the offenders to the bar of
justice. More than this, there ought to
be penalty more severe than the mere
payment of fine. 1t is easy enough to
pay fines with other peoples money.

Amend the Pure Food Law.

If the Democratic leaders in the
House desire to add to the excellent
record which they have already made
they will heed the message of the Presi-
dent in favor of amending the pure food
law.
Under the recent decisions of various
courts, and, especially, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, much of the
good intent of the present pure food
law has been neutralized. Frauds of
the most hagrant character can be prac-
ticed upon the public, and the latter will
have no redress. The efforts of the
authorities to abolish the nostrums
which ought never to be manufactured
are now practically paraiyzed. The stat
ute should be amended so that the
work can be resumed in earnest
There are some so-called patent
medicines which have right to exist
Experience has demonstrated that they
are compounded of beneficial drugs, and
they are effective against various dis
eases. The manufacturers of these
medicines have nothing to fear through
the operation Of a stringent law In
fact, such legislation will inure to their
benefit. because it viii drive out of the
market the injurious combinations
which, appealing to the ignorant and the
sick, do much more harm than good.

CONSERVATISM TO GUIDE
FAIRGROUNDS DIRECTOR
Edward s. Martini Recently Appointed to the Position,
Has Conference with District Officials-AH
Day Schedule Begins Today

Conservatism is to be the guiding star
of Edgar S. Martin, new director of the
Washington Fairgrounds, who came to
Washington yesterday from Columbus,
Ohio, for a conference with District Of
ficials, James z. West, secretary of the
Washington Playground Association, and
others. He left last night for Columbus,
and will return in time to assume his
duties on July ].
I intend to be conservative about max
ing changes at first, and until l have
time to look over the ground carefully,
things will probably go much the same
as usual said Mr.. Martin
He does not think it Will be possible
to establish any new Fairgrounds in the
District this summer There will be many
improvements in equipment and manage
ment, II he Is able to make them. he
says. but the children will have to get
along with the ground space they have
at present for at least six months.
When, asked how the funds available
for Fairgrounds compare with the
amounts given in other cities, he said
that Washington was not behind the ma
jority of the cities, but was far behind
the foremost.
"All the money we can get" said Mr..
Martin, can be used to good advantage.
for there is no limit to the scope of the
playground movement. We wish to work
along hand in hand with the schools and
with such organizations as the Boy
Scouts.
THE Washington association has done
good work in agitating the movement for
Fairgrounds in this city, and the Capital
owes that organization its thanks

ATTACKS
MISLABELED DRUGS
Strike at Life of the Nation,
He Says.

AN evil which menaces the general
health of the people strikes at the life
of the nation declared President Taft
yesterday in a message to Congress, in
which he recommends the lassage OF a
bill to prevent the shipments in inter
state commerce and the manufacture and
sale in the Territories of worthless nos
trums labeled with misstatements of fact
as to the physiological action"
The Presidents recommendation in
wolves an amendment to the food and
drugs act, and was made as a result of
the recent decision of the Supreme Court.
which held that the law does not cover
the knowingly false labelling OF nostrums
as to curative effect or physiological &C
tion, and that inquiry under this statute
does not by its term extend in any case
to the inefficiency of medicine to work
the cures claimed for them in the labels.
The President Is impressed with the
necessity of immediate action on a bill
that will prohibit the preparation OF
fraud in the distribution and sale of nos
trums that are recognized as dangerous.

The Demand for Amusement.

A correspondent of The Washington
Herald, whose communication is unfor-
tunately too long to be printed, conf
ments with much common sense upon
the antagonism to the moving picture
shows and the summer night resorts
where music and beer form the chief
attractions. He does not approve of
the beer drinking, but he insists that this
is a mere incident of the occasion, and
that the young people who frequent
these places naturally gravitate to them
through love of music and companion
ship, and not through an innate desire
to indulge in drink
1T is almost as difficult to get a
young man into a church sociable as it
is to get cat to swim" says this cor
respondent; and he asks if it would not
be worth while for the churches to ana
lyze the situation and then do something
which would counteract the attractions
of the places where young men and
young women ought possibly not to be.
"Why shouldn't some church" he con-
tinues, provide place of amusement; !;
not somber and depressing, but gay.
brilliantly lighted, and cozy, with rag
time music and respectable degree of
liberty, with genuine entertainment,
such as moving pictures and vaudeville? !?
Make it huge. comfortable club. Let
real religion pervade the place. Let
there be judicious oversight and direc-
ton, so that the jollity shall take no
evil turn. Let everything be wholesome
and pleasant, without being sanctimo-
nious. Above all, let those in charge be
thoroughly human and know how to
deal with human nature"
Much more to the same effect does
this correspondent say There is no
doubt that others have the same point
of view The trouble with some people
is that they regard amusement as a sin,
and pleasure of any kind, outside of the
church's walls, as an invention of the
devil The churches which take a
broader view are those which attract
men and thus extend their sphere of
influence Modern churches provide
reading g-rooms and bowling alleys and
appeal to the manliness of men. There
is at least one clergyman in this city
who enters with youthful heartiness
into the games of the boys in his parish.
He will make good men of them, when
he could not reach them in any other
way.
And why should not the church put
forth its best efforts to hold the young
men and women? 1t will accomplish
nothing by standing aloof and condemn
ing the attractions which young people
like. 1t ought to provide entertainment
free from Objectionable features, and
thus keep within itself the throng
which now seeks amusement elsewhere.

Secretary Knox and Portugal.

Fsom the Boston Transcript
Yesterday Mr.. Lorillard, United States
charge daffaires in Portugal waited upon
Senior Machada, minister of foreign
afrairs. and delivered a note from our
government officially recognizing the
Portuguese republic. With this ceremony
ended situation not little puzzling to
ordinary Americans who are not and can
not not be expected to be familiar with
the niceties of diplomatic intercourse.
They have wondered why the greatest re-
public in the world did not promptly
extend the glad hand to the youngest re-
public, why our State Department held
aloof from the new government at Lis
bon and took up an attitude of observa-
tion. Not only have these ordinary
Americans thought the course Of their
government peculiar. but European OBJ
servers have noted it likewise Some Of
these latter have inferred that the United
States. having emerged from its isolation,
signalized the sympathy with the con-
cert of great powers by reserving its
nnal action toward the Portuguese re-
public.
