So Question Will be Dis
CuSSed Again

Upon the suggestion Of the Mayors
Advisory Board, DR.. c. Anthony Beck
OF the Board of Health, will bring up
the matter of causing the trains a1d
factories to abolish the unnecessary
shrieking of steam whistles at the next
meeting OF the Board OF Health. He
made this announcement at yester-
days meeting Of the board.
DR.. Beck said that I'm other cities the
ban had been placed on the blowing
OF these whistles.
George W. Lutz, another member
Of the Board, seems in favor Of allow

they might save a man his job I'm case
his alarm clock fails to work in the
morning.
The matter will be thoroughly dis

now TO TREAT THE FEET.

Many men and women, and espec-
tally clerks, suffer with aching, swol-
len and sweaty feet. Others suffer
much from cold feet, or corns and
callouses. This form OF misery can
be readily banished by the simple
daily use OF antiseptic vilane powder,
specific of extraordinary virtues.
Obtain two ounces of vilane powder
from any leading druggist and to a
gallon OF steaming water add a tea
spoonful, also a tablespoonful Of salt
lmmerse the feet in this every night
for a few weeks, ten to twenty min
utes, and it will soothe. heal and re-
move all poisons and soreness. Corns
and callouses disappear and cold feet
soon become unknown. Any one suf-
fering with their feet should have this
knowledge.

THE PRECEDENT OF BRIEFER
MESSAGES.

Whatever may be thought of the
substance of the Presidents message.
there is at least cause for congratula-
ton that it was moderate in its length.
While it is true that this is confessedly
but one of series of messages which
the President will send to Congress
before he gets through setting forth
his views on the public questions which
he wishes to present for consideration,
still the fact remains that its COM
parative brevity-if half page in a
newspaper may ever be called brief
will lend it much better chance of
being actually read by the people.
And it is essential that these mes.
sages should be read by the masses of
the people. 1t is one of the effective
means by which they can keep them
selves informed of what is going on in
Congress and may learn to participate
intelligently in the business of govern.
ment.
A message of $4,000 or $4,000 words
is positively appalling. 1t is the most
liberal kind of an estimate to say that
not one man in thousand reads il
through. Its very proportions prevent

MAKES AN APPEAL
FOR THE WATCHMEN

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
notice the press and public in gen.
eral are making a grand effort to get
pensions for the police and firemen. l
hope they will succeed; but how about
the watchmen in Government employ?
Are they not worthy of any considera-
ton? Are they not as justly entitled
to the same as the police? They have
nearly the same duties to perform, fully
as arduous and for less pay. Why
discriminate? Any reasonable person
knows that a Waterman. after paying
rent, fuel and gas bills, feeds and
clothes himself and family on $50 per
month, will not have anything left for
an old age or a rainy day. Then what
Is to become Of the Waterman when his
usefulness to the Government is ex-
hausted. Are we to be cast out upon
the mercy of the cold world without
any resource whatever for a livelihood
for ourselves and families? Give us
square deal-more pay and a pension in
our declining years.

THE SENTENCES IN THE
M'NAMARA CASES.

Moderation is good rule to be fol-
lowed in handling any such critical sit
uation as that which has existed in
Los Angeles for several months past.
1t is especially good doctrine in such
crisis as that which faced Judge
Bordwell when, on the day of a
savagely contested, desperate city cleo
tion, he was confronted by the neces-
sity of determining how the law should
exact its penalty for one of the most
wicked crimes of the centuries.
A good deal of violent, vengeful in
sistence on the extreme penalty of the
law has been INDUCED, much of it from
quarters never entitled to consideration
by reason of elaboration and modera.
ton of methods. Without doubt Judge
Bordwell took counsel of wise men, as
we'll as of his own conscience and his
own understanding of the situation in
which his sentence would assuredly be-
come an important element. 1t is too
early to judge whether the community
has been best served by leniency; but all
will agree that it has been, if later
this tempering of justice with mercy
Shall appear the means to unraveling
farther the great dynamiting con-
spiracy.
The present is the time to push the
gruesome task of stamping out every
vestige of the inhuman pact to which
it is manifest that many others than
McManigal and the McNamaras must
have been privy. Guilty knowledge
must have reached out to many Others.
A great fund, unaccounted for and ap-
parently expended from month to
month to the entire satisfaction of its
contributors, was at the disposal of
the dynamiters during the reign of
terror which their outrages caused.
That fund did not just happen; it didn't
grow, like Topsy; it was voted by
somebody; and it continued to be voted
while the crimes continued to be COM
mitted. There was an intelligence and
treasury behind the McNamafas.
Both of these are more likely to be

SEES NO SIGN YET
OF REDUCTION IN GAS

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
hear SO much about the lowering of
the price Of gas.
/ fail to notice 1t. My bills are the
same as in the past; In fact, last month
they were higher. I heard many others
say the same Of their bills. Is 1t not
fact, whenever the gas company
promise a cut in rates they first make
raise? l also notice they have in
creased the force Of air through the
gas pipes to make the people consume
more gas. Pray, tell me how they
benefit US? l just wish to add II the
people do not soon get justice instead
Of robbery this country will witness
one of the bloodiest wars 1t ever knew,
like unto that of France, before II be-
came a republic. The American people
are not all fools. They think and
reason more than they did in the years
past, and realize FROM what source
their oppression comes.

THE BLACKSMITH JUSTICE
OF OxoN HILL.

The Blacksmith Of Oxon Hill, in
Prince George county, has been chosen
for the honorable distinction of justice
of the peace. The tribute came to him
nnsought. He IL diffident to the point
of basbfulness in discussing his up.
pointment, and announces that he will
get the statutes and read up.
1t savors Of the beginnings of our
Anglo-Saxon institutions to find this
typical representative of the people
chosen to dispense justice under the
rude but worthy roof of his smithy.
The spreading chestnut, which we may
assume to exist for the sake of the
picture, may take its place with the
gnarled oaks under which che first fore.
shadowings Of our legal institutions
took form before the Saxons came to
Briton. There, in the free out. of doors,
the forerunners of the witenagemote
met, and in a similar environment the
Basques and certain of the Switzers
still deliberate.
The justice of the peace holds an
ancient and honorable position. He is
familiar with the needs and the pecu-
liarities of the people. eve have heard
the chimes at midnight, Master Shall.
low" Yea, the justices are comrades
of the people whose causes they hear
and determine.
The Blacksmith of Oxon Hill may
study the statutes early and late and
yet not be able to administer substan-
tial justice any more equitably than he
will under the guidance of reason and
common sense. 1T was the Gjustice of
the supreme court of Southern State
who declared that his court had "the
last guess at the law" Experience has
confirmed his estimate of the law on
more than one occasion.
If the Blacksmith of Oxon Hill con-
scientifically devotes several years of
his life to the study of law he may get
fair working knowledge thereof, but
BY that time it probably will have
changed in many of its essentials, and
it is hardly probable that he can keep
abreast of all the latest decisions
without greatly neglecting his trade
and there is, very impressive story
among the Arabs to the effect that
"for want of a nail q shoe was lost,
for the want of shoe a horse was
lost" etc.
Aided by his mother-wit and
strengthened by his knowledge of his
neighbors, we feel sure that the Black.
smith Justice will walk worthily OF
his high calling, and that Oxon Hill
will have every reason to be proud of
the choice it has made.
