thing, by exciting vanity, it was con-
ducive to that Cheshire cat grin,
which becomes very painful, even to
the beholder, when it is kept up long
enough. 1t kept the wearers in con-
stant state of anxiety lest the setting
should come of in leathery helping
of steak or drop into the soup. 1t di-
verted the attention of the waiter,
who has to economize in order to wear
few modest stones in his shirt front.
AS a matter of fact, there was no
good reason why the love of display
should have gone to this extreme
Since Queen Mary has set the fashion,
the good old earbob is once more in
vogue. The linked splendor long
drawn out affords an opportunity for
personally conducting quite few
carats in the ears. In dull Persian or
Etruscan effects they give any ambi-
tious lady an opportunity to resemble
a pair of Uncle's show windows walk
ing into the palm room. Anklets
and bracelets and a normal quantity
of fingers gave room for a still further
display of bijouterie. The nose ring
has never even been given fair trial
as an effort at personal adornment
outside of the Cannibal Islands. 1t
was virgin field. One has no patience,
therefore, with the downright bar
barism of diamonds used after the
fashion employed by the lady from New
Orleans. 1t is not a complete answer
to say that she was preparing to So
journ in Alaska, where even the
peekaboo shirt waists are made of seal
skin. For all that, the Alaskans OBJ
serve the ordinary refnements of life.
1t would be the veriest affection to
say that one sympathizes with the
lady counterfeiter. With cunning
enough to usurp the money-making
function of government, she should
have initiated the modesty of the vio-
let, which wears its dewy diamonds
where only those who seek may find
them.

would have indeed been a fire bell in
the night. But his purpose was sin
lister. He hates organized labor and
is the secret friend OF all the forces
arrayed against 1t. He would make II
odious. AS is much his habit a.

tions, he is trying to obscure this one.
Accused men have rights under the
law. and under the law are innocent
until the gamut of legal proceedings
legally taken has been run to the
stage OF conviction. Kidnapping Is a
crime, and the law has been grossly
violated and outraged by men pre-
tending to execute It. With no wisr
to assail them, must say that tn
methods give justification to a most
ugly suspicion. They are a late in
vention-a new, vicious and encroach-
ing form OF attack on labor-the sec
ond case in recent official criminol-
ogy. 1t is believed by union men, in
view of the course pursued. that the
accused are innocent; so they are
justly aroused. More Is at stake than
the destiny Of the McNamaras-shall
the law live? That Is the question.
Organized labor has heard the "hre

POLICEMEN AT CROSSINGS
CHARGED WITH UNFITNESS

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
I would like to know from the pure
standpoint of psychology what the
crossing policemen are destined to do in
the civic world. From long study and
patient consideration their position
seems to be that OF running with the
hare and hunting with the hounds"
understand the railroad pays half
their salary and that the crossing po-
licemen are neither fish, flesh nor fowl.
1. e., they neither belong to the city, the
railroad, nor themselves. One might

Indian as from the guardians Of the
crossings. Who ever conceived the Idea
the crossing policemen were guardiansi
They seem to. be the only persons gifted
With ability to sleep standing up. They
are not to blame, but the pink tea po-

not understand the duty to the public.

To the Editor of THE TINES:


Permit me to dissent from the
Roosevelt editorial and your own of
the 9Th instant. Your original editor
ial on the arrest was a half -assump-
tion Of the guilt Of the McNamaras.
No exceptions to what was said-only
to what was not said. Usually Roose-

the editorial is in the time of its ap-
pearance. There is where the gazelle
comes in. Had he reserved 1t till after
the trial, conviction or no conviction,
1t would have been discreet and laud-
able. But he couldn't keep off the
trapeze. A few hand-turnings, then
run up the steeple and an attack on
the cathedral bell with a heavy
sledge bravely swung. A modest little
sheep bell from the plains would have
made oil the necessary noise, and 1t

issue of your paper, under the cap
ton Honor to Whom Honor Is Due,

over seventy years of age. to a con-
ductor who showed to both herself

courtesy and civility.

understood that he occupied but a
temporary job. Such a man ought to
be given a permanent position. The
railway company will act Justly to
find him and to promote him to a
good paying position. This will be a
deserved tribute to merit, and a silent
reminder that insolence, discourtesy,
carelessness and heartlessness in a
public servant will not be tolerated.
Advance this man.

ANOTHER RECRUIT FOR UTIL-
ITY BOARD.

Today it is Chairman Ben johnson,
of the House District Committee, who
announces himself in favor of public
service commission for Washington.
Mr.. johnson, in a statement to The
Washington Times, published on an
other page of this issue, pledges him
self to work for the passage of a COM
mission bill at this session, and ex-
presses the belief that favorable action
will be taken. He announces that the
District Committee will Immediately
begin consideration of the public serv-
ice commission question, and will hold
hearings at which representatives of
the corporations, the District govern
ment, and the people will be invited
to appear and present evidence and
arguments.
Senator Jacob H. Gallinger, chair
man of the Senate District Committee,
announced himself in favor of a COM
mission in yesterdays Times. Mr..
Johnson's statement, Immediately fol-
lowing, gives material encouragement
to the hope that legislation for the
control and regulation of Washington's
public utility companies by a perma-
nent board, clothed with ample au-
thority, will be enacted without much
further delay.
The movement for a public service
commission for the District has gained
remarkable headway. 1t now has be-
hind it the backing of the Washington
Gas Light Company, the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
both of which have been pledged to
support it through statements by
executive officers in The Times-and
the chairmen of the District Commit
tees of both houses of Congress.
1t only, remains for the two street
railway companies to declare for a
public service commission to make the
demand unanimous. Whether they
stand aloof, oppose the movement, or
get in line with the other forces of the
city and of Congress, it looks today
very much as if commission would
be created anyway. They are offered
the opportunity to gain public credit
by voluntarily using their efforts and
which will benefit them and the people
who make their existence possible
Will they be broad enough and far
sighted enough to seize that oppor-
tunity or will they hold to the worn,
out theory of blind opposition to any,
thing and everything the public de-
mands, merely because it is the public
that demands it?

matical. In one respect the Govern
r1ent had a peculiarly strong case
against the Standard. The Standard
had a continuous history from the be-
ginning Of all attempt at control Of the
oil industry. 1t started in 1870. Three
of the original participants In the first
consolidation effort are defendants in
the present litigation. continuous. un-
swervtng. uniform purpose of control
could thus be established.
That is true also Of the Sugar trust,
which before long will be placed on trial
for its life. 1t Is not true of most
other trusts
On the other hand, the Government
case against standard Oil was not so
strong as it will be in some other trust
actions, because the Standard was
guilty Of overcapitalization. The intent
to extort and conceal unreasonable
profits was never shown, in the case OF
the Standard. through issues Of watered
had properties probably worth near a
billion dollars; yet its capitalization
never exceeded 500, ,000, 900. When some
Of the other trusts. notably Sugar, come
by the record Of their attempts at mo-
nopolization. but by the fact that they
have been over-capitalized.
Law Officers Differ
With View of Congressmen.
The law officers Of the Government do
not attach so much Importance to the
courts reading of unreasonable" into
the Standard decision as do members of
Congress. The law people say that the
result has been attained: and that is
what counts. They argue thus:
Any Incorporation that brings together
the capital of number of people in
common business purpose is a restraint
of trade. You may choose to say it is
not; but 1t is. When It gets big enough
and bad enough to require to be de-
stroyed. then you have the choice Of
two procedures. You may reverse your
self and decide that, after all, it is re-
straint of trade; or you may decide that
1t is an unreasonable and undue re-
straint. The fact will remain that at
all times 1t was a restraint; II was
formed to restrain trade. and did 1t in
varying degrees. whether 1t was great
or small.

discerned in the discussion among
public men of the effects Of these de-
