To the Editor of the Evening Star;
DO the men who berate the hello
GIRL call her "mushhead" and other
names, do the anne thing to their
wives and children? think not. 1t is
cowardly to stand at a telephorlesmany
blocks, and perhaps miles, away from
the operator and use such language to
her, knowing that she is not allowed
to answer back or defend herself in
any way.
Often the operator is asked if she has
evoke up or if she is falling asleep
because she fails to answer a call the
second the signal appears. What
seems like five minutes to the sub
scriber is really but eight seconds. An
operator w $50 and 200 calls ar

commends Retirement Bill.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The bill which Congressman Hamill
has framed, providing for the retire
ment of superannuated civil service
employees, should be supported by
every person Interested in State
and national government. The United
States is practically the only country
which does not make provision of this
kind for its civil employees.
When a person has served the gov
eminent the number of years which
would entitle him to a pension, he
would have given the best years of his
life to the service. 1t is only humane
for a wealthy country of this size Il,
care for those who have given all
their usefulness to it. The civil SER
vice retirement bill is a good one and
should be enacted r, T. M.

He's a wise Old Man

IN MEXICO.

1Tfa HE latest phase of the Mexican troubles is secession. The
State of Oaxaca has formally declared for its separate
sovereignty as a state and refuses to recognize the federal
government. Diaz was born in Oaxaca, and so was Jaurez, who
drove Maximiian out ofNMexico. The act of the state in attempt.
ing 10 establish itself on an independent basis is evidently due to
the Diaz sentiment. But it is an omen of more serious trouble for
Mexico. The question of state sovereignty and the right to secede,
which was settled in this country by a foaryear fratieidal war,
yer before came up in Mexico, because the president ruled the
states like satrapes. Now thatethe old order of things has been
broken up and there is chaos in the land, it arises threateningly,
and the doctrine must be extinguished if Mexico is not to lapse
into a number of separate states, jealous of each other and con
tinualy at warfare ~

TARIFF BOARD AND CONGRESS-.

IT II the Presidents tariff. board has taken two years to gather its
data, how long will it take Congress to go over the data and
verify it after the boards report is submitted by the Presi-
dent? If the board could not complete its work in less than two
years, how can Congress be expected to do all that is required in
five OF six months and at the same time attend to multtudinous
other work? If Congress simply accepts the conclusions of the
board and acts upon them we will have. the. novelty Of national
statutes being framed and virtually passed by a board appointed
by the President and having no legal status whatever. OF course
Congress will not accept any readymade conclusions as to tariff
legislation, nor will it accept the boards figures without the most
minpte scrutiny.

I have a patch of daisies
Beside my cabin door,
The sun creeps in my window
And dances on the floor;
No fence is built around me
To keep the children out,
They play about my cabin
, And put the shades to rout.
There is a golden skyway
AS far as l can see,
And in the waving tree-tops
Are birds that sing to me;

A garden and a cat,
Now pray you, Mr.. Rich Man,
Have you got more than that?

AS TAFT KNEW DRYDEN.

T1 RESIDENT TAFTS tribute to the late John T. Dryden was
written with the remembrance of the part which Mr.. Dry
den, as a member of the Senate committee on Panama
canal. took in committing this nation to that wonderful enterprise.
Says President Taft, II never met a more conscientious, earnest
and hard working legislator than he was in the work of that kind,
which, with his large business experience, he sc fully understood"
In all his committee work in the Senate Senator Dryden was
earnest and 1aborous to an extern that excited remark in the
Senate. In the case of the Panama canal he was more deeply in
terested. and for two reasons. The project appealed to his
patriotism. He saw its magnificent possibilities for our country.
He was anxious lest the great opportunity presented at Panama
might be sacrificed. Then, again, the magnitude of the enterprise
fascinated him. He was in his element in large undertakings, and
this one absorbed his interest. Probably he would readily have
accepted a place on the canal board. He was admirably qualified
fori its important and exacting work.

Are Titled sufrragettes slnceres


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
There is no denying the fact that
ome are entitled to suffrage. Since
they are subject to the laws of the ma
ton they should have a voice in making
those laws, but-are the women of
England. those Jailed for rioting. en-
titled to a vote? Are they intelligent
enough to vote or do they just seek
suffrage for notoriety and the love of
the sensational?
The ladies of the nobility who were
sentenced to Jail this week certainly
have nothing to gain by suffrage and
have a lot of excitement to get out of
their fight for it. Is it sincerity or
sen~sationalism that prompts them to
break laws and injure people?

Comments school Yards.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Although a resident of this city but a
short time I would like to commend the
city on its spacious public school yards.
The yards here are big and there is
plenty of room for play. In the city
where ] formerly made my home the
yards were too small for the number
of children. Surely both the boys and
girls need exercise, If we do not raise
healthy children the next generation
will suffer. MOTHER.

Professor See outlined the process

destruction of the comets was still
causing showers of cosmical dust to
fall on planets, as witnessed in the
