OUR COMMISSIONERS
ARE SAFE AND SANE

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
l have seen in your paper at different
times that certain citizens associations
have knocked the Commissioners. and
want to say a word in their favor. Be-
ing in a business in which 1 have to
meet the Commissioners, and having
met both General Johnston and Mr..
Rudolph, want to say right now that
they are white to the core.
They may have their bad traits-we
all have-but 1 think they are trying
under difficulty to do their duty. And
as they have been in office for such
short time should be given help, and a
square deal, not constant knocking
Because a lot of people cannot go down
to the District building and run things
to suit themselves, they try to cause
as much trouble as possible
A sample of what a lot of fanatics
can do is this proposed "curfew'' law.
Moralists control the children too much
now, and this law would give them more
power. Why not take the children when
they are born and have entire control of
them? 1t amounts to the same thing,
except that where the parents pay all
their expenses now the District in that
case would have to care and pay for
them. It's a. great deal like an old
woman. with no children, trying to tell
the mother of several how 10 raise
them. Sounds good. but doesn't work
out right.
II any one can tell us better men to
put in as Commissioners let them speak
up. Keep our safe and sane Commits

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST
PHILIPPINE OFFICIALS.

Charges of the most serious character
have been made against Governor Gen
eral w. Cameron Forbes and other
officials of the Philippine Islands in
the Philippine land investigation con-
Quoted by the Committee on Insular
Affairs of the House of Representa-
tives. The brief of Ralston, Siddons
& Richardson, filed with the committee
today, is nothing short of astounding.
In it Governor Forbes and some OF
his associates of the Philippine Com
mission are accused of having in
vested in Philippine lands in violation
of law and that they have, as trustees
for the Fiipinos, sold and leased land
to individuals who, under the acts of
Congress, were prohibited from ac
quiring it.
The attorneys, in their brief, declare
that the governor and other officials
have committed offcnses which stamp
them as unfit to hold their office; their
removal and the enactment of legisla
tion specifically prohibiting cxploita
tion of the lands of the Philippines are
demanded.
1t is particularly significant that the
charges are not stated as something to
be proved, but as something that has
already been proved. The attorneys
declare that every statement and every
accusation are justified by the testi-
mony and evidence laid before the
during the hearing just
concluded.
In justice to the Government, to
the Filipinos, and to the accused Off
rials the committee is bound to weigh |
the evidence carefully and to report to
Congress whether the charges have
in fact. This obligation
the committee cannot escape without
making itself liable to the severest
,ensure.

OLD SOLDIER SARCASTIC
ON PENSION QUESTION

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Why should any old soldier or sailor
get a pension, when there are so many
ing? Just think of the great service
the clerks have done for this Govern
ment. and are doing every day. They
are compelled to work seven hours a
day In one of these horrid, overheated
Government buildings, and only get
from S75 to s150 from 8 a. m. to 4:S0 p.
m. Then they must go to the ball
game for an hour: from there they must
go to supper, and at s p. m. must go
to the theater or to the billiard game
until about II, when they return home
to a warm bed.
Whae did the old soldier do? Why,
nothing-only his duty. and Uncle Sam
paid him for that Just to think of the
magnificent wages he was paid in the
army, SIS, and the navy, Sl1.0O per
month. And yet he is complaining
tism or some other disease contracted
in the service. Why did he get the
rheumatism or any other disease? He
was a fool for getting it. If he did have
to march by night and fight by day
that's nothing. If he had been a true
flowers would, perhaps. be planted on
his grave. Why not adopt the Osler
plan and chloroform all ex-soldiers and
sailors over sixty years of age? BY all
means. pension the clerks, and IL there's
any money left take it TO help pay for
Army the devil. They are no good: l
know, for l am one of them. We
should try voting the way we used to
shoot. L. II. DADE.

GOVERNMENT VIOLATED ITS
OWN ANTI-LOBBY ORDER

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
l. In connection with the article which
appeared In the issue of The Times,
Monday, February 10. 1911, embodying a
letter written bv Fulton R. Gordon, and
addressed to the President relative to
an Executive order, dated January 81,
1902. if Mr.. Gordon could have cited in
his letter the following Inconsistency
his argument would have teen ma

EriOr to Nav L., 1909, and while Con-
gress was yet in session, the heads of
the Departments of War and Navy
designated and ordered certain inter-
ested commissioned officers to appear
before the House Committees on Army
and Navy Affairs, respectively, in be-
halt of a bill favoring a large increase
of pav for all officers and enlisted men
OF the army. navy and marine corps.
and to devote their efforts in the lobby
of this measure.
The bill was reported favora bly, by the
House committees and was passed by
the House and Senate and made a law
by the act of Nav Is. 1909.

credited the passage of the bill solely
to the efforts of these army and navy

THE HARMLESS THREATS OF
ANONYMITY.

The Treasury Department and the
chairman of the Committee on Print
ing have no doubt acted wisely in not
paving any too much attention TO the
anonymous threats sent them in angry
protest against the proposed change in
the methods of printing. 1t may be
taken for granted, moreover, that these
threats of violence do not come from
the more representative class of men
who are most directly interested in
any change from printing by hand to
the use of the power press. The more
representative among those concerned
would not have made their present
stand against the introduction of new
methods without having more logical
and convincing arguments to back
them up than dark, nameless threats
against officials of the Government.
Whatever may be the merits of the
present controversy, this foolish resort
to black hand" methods on the part
of irresponsible hothcads would have
an unfortunate effect if it were not so
well recognized by the department it
self that the letters do not represent
the real sentiments of the pressmen
This much will be taken for granted
even though the incident is not re-
garded by them as meriting even the
dignity of a reputation.

Sudden Darkness Falls
On MacVeagh's Guests

One never can be sure of a new
house. Not even when it Is an archi-
tectural masterpiece and cost several
hundred thousand dollars.
The Secretary of the Treasury and
Mrs. MacVeagh realize this fact today.
For last night they had real old
time house warming, and invited the
President of the United States, Mrs.
Taft, and about 300 other distinguished
guests to their new home, on Sixteenth
street.
And the lights went out!
In the midst of the festivities the
brilliant scene suddenly was plunged
into inky darkness. The dancing, in
honor of Miss Helen Taft, was brought
to sudden halt.
Being a new house. it wasn't any use
hunting the cellar for candles, so for
about fifteen minutes the guests .en-
joyed themselves after the manner of
a masquerade ball, in guessing who
each other were.
When the electrician finally managed
to adjust the switch the party went
merriy on.

Court on Saturday night. 1t was the

since the Battle of North Point, and
the result was altogether different
The descriptive writing done by the
society correspondents who covered
the assignment remind one of the days
of Pierce Egan. This is particularly
true in respect of their idea that a
news story improves with age, so the
graphic account of the fight by rounds
creeps into print five days after the
event. For all that it makes good
reading. There arc touches of color
and technique here and there which
indicate that the fair artists at the
ringside, to whom we are bcholdcn for
the story, had been at Reno-in some
capacity.
The whirlwind finish with which the
noble pugilist, who is brother of
Vivian GouId's first husband, draped
the Terrible Tony's brawny form over
the ropes will do much to dissipate the
popular idea that we are marrying
our heiresses into a circle of milksops
