A loose hinged colored man was visit

He fatwheeled into the ONCE OF Rep

when whitacre happened 10 be out. John

waiting to see the Congressman. was

"ZEB" GOLDSMITH
Popular Young Man and Miss Kath-
crime N. Ken Elope to Balti-
more, Rockville, and Back.

One Of those sudden impulses with
which Cupid torments young folk seized
Z. Thomas Goldsmith as he sat oppo-
site his fnancee, Miss Katherine NJ. Kell,
at dinner in a downtown cafe Sunday
night, and after a protracted effort 20
obtain a marriage license in Baltimore
and Rockville. finally secured one in
Washington early yesterday and were
married by Judge Charles S, Bundy. The
parents OF the couple learned Of the mar
riage late yesterday.
, Numerous obstacles faced the couple
As they determined to be married. The
bridegroom thought Baltimore a fitting
place 10 inaugurate welded life. but,
arriving there late Sunday night, the
problem of obtaining the necessary IL
cense arose, and the couple decided that
after all It was better TO return to WASH
ington. However. their enthusiasm had
not diminished, and at Rockville early
yesterday morning they knocked at the
license door. The marriage clerk was
asleep, and somebody at his residence
said sleep was too valuable to be dis
turbed for even a wedding ceremony.
The couple, now accompanied by a mer-
ry party OF Goldsmith's friends. includ-
ing Ralph Perry. Maxwell Williams. and
Chauncey Williams. came TO the conclu-
sion that Rockville need not have the
honor OF that particular marriage func-
ton. and all started back to- washington.
Arriving here about o'clock yesterday
morning, Justice Bundy tied the knot
and after a joyful celebration the married
pair departed for Atlantic City on a
short honeymoon.

Injuring the City's Welfare.

Washington, identified with the COM
mercial bodies of the District, and pro-
Tossing an interest in home industries
and home trade, are accustomed to
purchasing their clothing and other
furnishings in outside cities"
The Washington Herald believes in
the doctrine of Washington for the
Wsshingtonians 1t proposes to help
the merchants here to increase their
business. Its efforts, in the future as
in the past, will be especially directed
against the practice of giving aid and
comfort through its advertising col
umns to the itinerant dealers who visit
Washington for few days and who,
at minimum of expense for rent and
license, depart with the proceeds of
trade that would otherwise find its way
into our own stores.
A fragrant disregard of Washington
interests is continually manifested by
Washington newspapers which aid
dealers from other cities, and even
from foreign lands, who come here
This policy of helping TO deprive home
merchants of home trade finds no sym
pathy in The Washington Herald. It
is matter that deserves the attention
of the organizations which are supposed
to safeguard the business welfare of
the city.

Law and Common Sense.

A contractor in New York City who
had come up from the South learned
that it was illegal to carry concealed
weapons. Thereupon he walked into
police station and asked the officer
TO keep his revolver for him. The po-
liceman promptly conducted him to a
cell on the charge of violating the law.
Hat OF the disregard expressed for
law is occasioned by the foolish way
III. which those who are charged with
its administration secure its enforce
ment Law is proper and necessary,
but common sense is something even
more to be desired.

Oyster Bay, Feb. 12-Col. Roosevelt

Representative Mckinley, President

as saying that Roosevelt was actually
not in opposition to Tafts denomination,
but was working to keep the progressives
under control until they were safely in
the Taft camp.
When asked IL he had seen the inter
view, the colonel assumed a puzzled ex-

measures Up to this standard; that the
incident has strength

and that the views which Gov. Wilson
expressed IN his history, written twenty
years ago. VIII not have any influence

Daniels, '-the Democrats paraded ex-
tracts from RooSevelt's writings. in
which tens OF thousands OF good people
had been called Jack Cades and anar-
chists. How much impression did II
make? Not q ripple on the waves. The
people fight and win campaigns upon the

To Save the Bows.

The eight-day campaign in the "Men
and Religion Forward Movement" in
augursted in the Washington churches,
will mark here, as it has in other cities,
a notable work in the betterment of
human life. A campaign of a similar
character has just closed in the City of
Philadelphia, and has aroused great in
terest and eventuated in the orgsniza-
ton of the Christian and moral forces
of the city in an effort 10 shield boys
and young men from the temptations
and associations which lead to evil life
at the great centers of population.
This weeks series of meetings in
Washington has a similar end in view
There will be many addresses in which
interest in the movement will be ere
ated, its objects explained, and the
methods to be pursued made known.
Then will follow an organization not in
tended so much to evangelize the youth
as to make them decent and upright
men. One Of its prime objects is to
put restraint upon dissipation of all
kinds and to fill the life of oncoming
manhood with better mental vision and
moral uplift than is afforded under
present conditions.
That the movement will arouse SYM
pathy in Washington and result in some
form Of organization TO make it ef-
fective is the expectation Of those in
charge of the campaign. 1t is to be
hoped that the meetings Of various
kinds to be held during the week may
be well attended, and that the move
ment will not find less response in the
Capital than it has done elsewhere.

Italian School Class.

\ remarkable incident occurred in
Newark, n. J., last Monday night, at
the graduating exercises of the highes;
class in the Seventh Avenue Public
School. The class contained twenty
eight boys and girls all of whom were
children of Italian parentage, and some
OF them were born in Italy. 1t appears
that the school is situated in portion
of the city wheIe many Italian families
dwell, and it so happened that the en-
tire class was made up of children OF
that nationality.
According TO reports, these. pupils
were intellectually up to the average in
the Newark schools, and twenty-five of
he twenty-eight are enrolled as pupils
IN the new commercial and manual
training school of that city. The oc-
czsion was made a notable one by the
school authorities, the parents of the
children, and the people of Newark.
Some of the mills in Newark are
manned by Italian worknen, and it is
heir children who made up this class.
They are represented as industrious
men, seeking to establish permanent
homes and making every sacrifice to
give their children educational advan-
tages. Some of the pupils in this class
lave musical ability, and. the exercises
we're interspersed with Italian songs
and instrumental music by the mem
bers of the class. In the higher school
to which they viii now go they win be
instructed in manual training, account
ing, and business, and, when graduated
a few years from now, will be pretty
veil prepared to take their places in the
American world and succeed.
We have heard much about the dan
gers of immigration to the welfare of
the United States. Sometimes writers
and public speakers have condemned
this same Italian immigration as a
