A few days ago a man called at the
First Precinct Court n asked Judge
Hahn to lock his 11-year-old son up.
"why?" asked the Judge in astonish-
ment.
Because he stays out until II o'clock
at night and he smashes the dishes
when we punish him" was the reply.
We'll. If we take him. you will have
to pay for him at the City Home" said
the judge.
"Oh, 1 can't do that replied the
man, because 1 am q poor man."

p4rst Aid room Needed.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Recently 1t was pointed out that
there are several things needed in our
Court House. but one thing appears to
have been overlooked. That is a first
aid" room with a woman attendant.
Tho need for this addition can be
demonstrated during every important
trial, when famale witnesses, nervous
from the worry and strain Of thei po-
s%itions, break down entirely when
called TO the stand.
For humane reasons alone this room
and medical attention should be pro-
vided in a large municipal building
such as the Court House, where often
the lives of persons hang in the bal
ance. To the court attendants and Of
ncials about the building. a trial means
nothing very important. The thing is
part of their routine and has no effect
on them. Nevertheless, consideration
should be given the women who have
never had occasion or even dreamed OF
being important witnesses in a case.
The Importance of the affair awes
and frightens them. Many times it has
been shown hat medical attention for
these women was imperative, but the
only assistance to be had was a glass
of water and the vigorous application
of a fan in the face of the victim.
This item is worth consideration in
the Court House expenditures.

THE WEALT TIL OF THE NATION.

IT N his argument in the House of Representatives on the excise
bill Chairman Underwood estimated the total accumulated
wealth of the country as two hundred and seventy billion
dollars by simply doubling the assessed valuation, holding that
only so per cent. of property wealth is taxed. Considering the
enormous evasion of personal taxes and the vast exemptions from
assessment, as well as the low real estate valuations, the estimate
is fairly just. Nor does it include the billions of undeveloped ma
tfonal wealth, the resources of Alaska alone reaching into the
billions. Speaker Clark foresees a time when we shall be a nation
of two billions, with sixteen triUiOns of wealth. The prospect is
staggering. We may believe in the amount of wealth more readily
than the number of population. For if, as claimed, we are now ap
preaching the limit of our productivity of food supplies as an ex
PLANTATION of the phenomenon of high prices, how can two billion
of population be supported and what will the cost of necessaries
be a eentnrx hence2

TAKING TAFT AT HIS WORD.

oFa HE bill introduced in the Senate at Washington by Senator
Cummins, of Iowa, fulfls the requirements mentioned by
President Taft in his Boston speech when he said he
favored the presidential preference primary under proper restr1c-
tons. The bill provides all the safeguards for primaries to be
held in July and it includes vice president and presidential electors.
Senator Cummins seems to have taken Mr.. Taft at his word, and
no doubt he expects the President to come right out with a special
message urging Congress to pass the bill.

CHANGE DEMANDS RECORD SALARY
Says He Expects to Stay On Ranch Unless Demands
 Granted Had Intended to Quit the Game for. Good

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Frank Chance will not manage the New York American lea que club unless he receives the sal ary he demands and a percentage of the clubs profits The salary, he says, is the largest ever demanded by a manager of ball club.
 In a letter today to Charles Will lIams, treasurer of the Chicago Ma tionals, Chance gave the first authen tic news of his negotiations with Frank Farrell, owner of the New York club. Chance wrote that he really intended to retire from baseball, but since given the opportunity to manage the High flanders, he wants enough money to make 1t worth while"
 T do not think I will get what have asked for" writes Chance. My price is steep; in fact the highest ever demanded by a manager, but I intended to quit the game and now 1 want to make it worth while. It is a good bet though, that I will be right out here on my ranch next sum- mer instead of on a ball field. It is paying me better than ever and I am contented. Still should Farrell grant me what I want, the probabilities are that I will go.''
 Chance added that he will not go east to discuss the situation with Far rell until the latter agrees to his terms.

SPRING SERIES CUT OUT.
St. Louis Browns and Cardinals Will
 Not Meet in Spring.

The major league season of 1912 was prolific of contests between teams of the National and American leagues, but there Is 8 likelihood that the year of 1912 will be minus at least one spring series. That will probably be the one between the St. Louis Browns and Car dinals. No less a person than Miller Higgins, successor to Roger Bresna- han, has gone on record as saying that he does not favor a preseason clash and that he will vote against such a series being played. He takes the time and trouble to explain that it is not fear of the pitching prowess of Hamilton, Baumgardner, Allison and Weliman, those wonderful young twirl- CTS of George Stovall, that pFejudices him against the spring games.
 The so-called city championship can be decided in the fall" says Hug gins. There Is a time for everything. Assursdly the spring is not psycholo- gicaliy the season to play a series of games for the St. Louis title. The teams have to return from the south two weeks ahead of the ordinary schedule in order to play the game. The weather in St. Louis, weather bu- reau history shows. has been raw and lnclement The result is that the play CTS are retarded rather than aided in their training, and begin the National league season poorly equipped physi- cally to compete with their rivals"
 The Philadelphia Athletics and Quakers meet in annual preseason games in Philadelphia, where if any thing the weather is more unpropi- tious than in St. Louis. No one would be foolish enough to cite that either the Mackites or Quaker players have
