DON'T BE HASTY
: WITH WHIPPING POST

To the Editor of THE TINES:
Kindly tell those whipping post advo-
Gates not to be too hasty about indors-
Ing such punishment for wife-beaters
unless their hide itches
Those gallant meddlers in the family
affairs Of others and those misplaced
judges are mostly responsible for 80
per cent Of those so-called wife-beat-
ings. ny.
What more encouragement does q
woman of a mean disposition need to
wreck mans life than when one Of
our judges told man to be kind and
patient. use diplomacy. and such other
nonsense, when he told the Judge that
his wife refuses to cook his meals and
mend his clothes, but she readily mends
the clothes OF the insurance agent7. .
Not long ago a man complained to
one of the judges that his wife insists
on taking her pet dog to bed. The poor
man could not help himself, knowing
II he made use OF a good, solid oak
shingle the Judge might send him up for
Few good women and true get beat
ings from their nearest and best friend
on earth, and IL they did nobody would
find II out, as they will not let Il hap
pen the second time.
But the most disgusting thing is that
the judges are trying to run every
mans domestic affairs. All a woman
has to do is just to tell the Judge. and
he'll do the rest.
Therefore, you gallant gentlemen who
want to make hit with the ladies
every time by condemning the man who
beats his wife. keep your nose in your
own anairs, Tor a man who Is blessed
with a good wife does not know how
1t feels to have one of the other kind.

DEAN SLOW MAKES
SARCASTIC PROPOSAL

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Much has been done of late for the
health Of the children In our public
schools. Their teeth have been ex-
amined. their adenoids excised, and
their microbes decimated. Later, as
companion to Arbor Day, we may
have an appendix day. when the little
ones may be relieved en- masse OF
their appendices.
All this attention to health is ad-
mirable. But what 10 health and long
life without liberty?
My proposal is timely. for nowadays
science helps the rich TO escape the
law, and helps the law to convict the
even their METHODS Of stealing. They
seem to be unable to acquire the art OF
stealing legally. How easily they fall
into the clutches Of the lawl Do we
not see the rich acquitted as insane
because their mental Impressions are
obscure, and the poor convicted be-
cause their digital Impressions ere too
clear? i would protect the growing
generation from the Bertillion system,
and from betraying itself by its thumbs

the future may bring forth. Some Of
our little ones may begin at the bot

In the Mail Bag
BETTER CAR SERVICE
ON BRIGHTwOOD LINE,

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Permit me to make a suggestion that,
In my opinion, would greatly improve
a very bad condition on one of our
local street railway lines.
At the present time the regular Ninth
street cars are run as far north as the
Brghtwood loop. at Seventh and Flori-
la avenue northwest, and are not
very well patronized by the travelling
public. Operating over the Ninth street
tracks north OF Pennsylvania avenue
are the Brightwood cars very much
overcrowded during nearly ali times of
the day and night. The Improvement
suggested IL briefly this: Run all the
regular Ninth street cars on past the
loop above mentioned to the Bright
wood barn, or any way as far north
az the Soldiers Home junction, and this
would place additional service on the
congested portion Of the line, thereby
affording better service without re-
quiring many more cars to be placed
In service. and not any more congestion
on the line at r ana q streets.
The above suggestion is made by q
regular patron OF these cars, and I be-
lieve that It would greatly relieve the
long-suffering Brightwood citizens.

SHERMAN LAW Is NOT SUF.
FICIENT.

There is little difference of opinion
on one very important feature Of the
discussion, now nation. wide, about the
relations to be established between
Government and business. Nearly
everybody is agreed that the Sherman
act is not enough, or else that it is
too much.
The Economic Club in New York last
evening dined and debated this general
question. Samuel Untermyer declared
fatty that the Sherman law Is popular
with the country at large. He is right
about that. Probably vast majority
of people would vigorously oppose re.
peal of the measure. It's general pur.
pose, of preventing monopoly and of
suppressing unfair competitive meth.
DDS, appeals to the great mass of
people. ..,
But, beyond that, the majority of
people, it is now safe to believe, con-
slider that something more is needed.
The proposal to supplement this act
with measures that will give business
men fair chance to know whether
they are within or without the statute
is gaining ground on every hand. Sen.
ator Cummins told the diners that the
Government, in separating the sheep
from the goats, ought to give such
description of sheep and a goat as
would enable serious. minded business
man to decide for himself whether he
was a sheep or goat. "It is dis.
couraging," he said, "to 20 on for
years believing you are one, and then
to be assured by the court that you
are the other"
That is a pretty fair statement of
the whole case, unless you choose to
60 to the other extreme and agree
with Chancellor Day, who told the
diners that competition is not the life
of trade; it is the destruction of
trade That opinion, too, is gaining
ground, but it is yet long time be.
fore it will become the actuating rule
in lawmaking.
On the one thing, then, there is al:
most universal agreement. The Sher.
man act, standing alone, can never be
Interpreted into a satisfactory, work.
ing statute of regulation for business.
1t must be developed into an admin
istrative code. "Thou shalt not steal''
is perfectly plain, understandable
declaration of the decalogue; but in
the complexities of social development
topes upon tones of laws and adjudi.
cations have required to be written in
order that the purpose of that com.
mandment might be administered fairly
and equitably.
That is the trouble with the Sher-
man act. Whether we like it or not,
it is going to stay with us for some
time yet; its repeal is political i'm.
possibility. To modify, supplement,
amplify it, is evidently going to be
possible in the near future. There is
every ground for the belief that no
more pig-in.a-poke litigations will
end in such blind-alley DEGREES as that
which the tobacco case brought. The
universal recognition of that decree as
a testimonial of the laws utter failure
has brought the assurance that sensible
measures will be taken to make busi.
ness safe and prosperity secure.

the STAR" sister picture, as IL might
be called, of the one TO be seen there,
it is different. Evidently, as happened
with the yet more famous "Mona
Lisa" il has become the prey of art
gallery pirates who hope, when the ex.
element subsidies, to convert their
plunder into the coin of some realm
perhaps of our munificent republic.
But, at any rate, this latest sensa.
tion in the art world will teach Italy
what France has already been taught,
and with costly lesson, that IL these
treasures are to be kept at home they
must be better guarded.

Walking Four Miles an Hour.

There is nothing that the average per
son believes more implicitly than that
he can walk four miles in an hour miles
in an hour easily. Almost any one will
say: 1--WE were out walking for an hour
and a halfto-day. Let me See-four miles
an hour that makes six miles we went. "
And lie is convinced that is the ground
his party covered.
That same average person has only to
try TO walk tour miles in sixty minutes to
discover that il is good, stiff going. There
are many more folks who cover three
miles in the time, when they think they
are going at the rate ola mile better, than
there are who actually know the pace they
are making.
1t is an easy thing TO determine. For
instance, one man noted the time on his
watch when he started and swung along
al gait that he fondly believed was a
mile in ten minutes. That, for instance,
would be about one-half the speed that
the average mile runner would make
when he was fairly new to the game, but
he would have TO train for a time TO do
that, says the Boston Herald.
The walker didn't take out his watch
until he had reached the end OF his first
mile. Then he looked. II was fifteen
minutes almost TO the second when he
ended that mile.
This was little OF shock, especially
as there were only couple Of crosSwalks
in the way and there was nice stretch
of gravel path alongside the pavementS
on which 10 walk. But he started off
again for the second time. This time he
walked steadily, using his hips, and
eventually got striding at clip that con-
vinced him he was going at least four
minutes better than the other mile. The
memorable watch showed fourteen min
uteS for the second mile.

Wise Bird, This Woodpecker

In California the woodpecker store:

bores several holes, differing slightly il
size, at the fall of the year, invariably il

which he adjusts TO one Of the holes pre-
pared for its reception.
But he does not eat the acorn, for, as a
rule he is not a vegetarian. His object
in storing away the acorns exhibits fore

akin to reason than to instinct. The sue
