URGES PLAIN CLOTHES MEN.
G.. E. Parker Criticises Failure to En-.
force Traffic Laws.
To the Editor of The Star:

| To the Editor of The Star:
| In your safety campaign column Sat-
urday Commissioner Johnston was stated
to deplore the fact that many vehiclists
regard the traffic regulations only when
a policeman is In sight. This fact is no.
torious. and it seems pertinent to in
quire whether. after every one has de-
plored 1t enough some remedy may not
be applied. few policemen in plain
clothes judiciously distributed might be
effectual, and If authority is lacking an
Bue the system of permitting offenders
to forfeit collateral instead of appear
| ing in court for trial, which is also de-
scribed. presents ground for radical criti-
cism. AS The Star states. this does not
constitute technical conviction, and un-
| til there has been one conviction the in
creased penalty for second Offense can
| not be imposed. The way to make the
law respected is to enforce 1t, and moth
| ing could be better adapted to bring it
into contempt than this system OF
| tri1ing with its enforcement, which vir-
tually is system of licensing offenders.
! It is just such system as might be
adopted for the purpose of securing, not
safety in the streets, but revenue in
the courts.
Perhaps The Star might perform a
public service by aScertaining what au-
| thority there Is in law for this prac-
| tice, and, If it is extra-legal. who is
responsible for it, and what purpose it
| fair that the responsibility of pedestri
ans should be magnified while the
| punishment of vehicular offenders re-
| mains a farce. C. T.. PARKER.

REGRETS FAILURE TO AGREE.
Writer to The Star Deplores Effort
for Straight Employees Pension.

To the Editor OF The Star:
One frequently hears from government
employees expressions Of regret at the
failure Of the two civil service retirement
associations to agree upon common
plan Of action, and. perhaps, to effect a
merger But is agreement possible? To
the advocates of a contributory retire
ment plan, it is not a question of mere
choice of routes leading to a common
goal, but whether one method chat term
ed the straight pension') does not lead
in the opposite direction to the goal Nay,
worse, does not give point to the other
wise pointless arguments Of those who.
in Congress and elsewhere. oppose any
and all plans of civil service retirement.
The advocates of the employees contribu-
, tory plan. through their organization. the
United States Civil Service Retirement
Association. are working for the follow
ing: "a a Is per cent increase of salaries,
the present salaries of the great mass of
government employees having been fixed
prior to 1860, and left unchanged; CD a
reorganization of the classified civil serv-
ice. including salaries paid based upon
duties performed; ts) retirement of en-
ployes upon an equitable contributory
plan, which would be eventually self-sup-
porting, the government meanwhile con-
tributing to the retirement fund, since 1t
would be manifestly unjust to place the
upon the shoulders of those rema ming in
the service. This plan is set forth in de-
tail in the Austin bill (H. r. 10, Sixty
second Congress).
Government employees might as we'll cry
for the moon as work for a straight pen
sion. There Is scarcely a congressional
constituency in the United States that
upon submission of the proposition to it.
would favor the idea: and members Of
Congress know this. and in consequence
q mere handful support it. About the
only tangible result of the advocacy of
the straight pension plan has been the
most nearly successful assault by Con-
gress upon the entire merit system that
the country has known since the passage
of the civil service act in 1883. Only the
Presidents veto saved the system. The
text employed by almost every advocate
of limited tenure was the demand made
by government employees for a straight
pension: and it is worthy Of note that
tried and true friends OF the merit sys-
tenn and of the government employees
Senator .Cummins among them, stated
that II they thought the only alternative
to limited tenure was a straight civil
pension, they would advocate . limited
tenure.
On the other hand. a large and in
creasing number OF members OF Congress
and other public men sare advocates Of

plan of having an active and non
active membership for adults and

is hoped to reach every portion Of the
city and reach. either directly or In
directly, every street user.
The work along educational lines,
which has already been started. Will
be supplemented in numerous ways. II
| Is believed. by the association for the
prevention of street accidents as soon
as that organization is put In good
running order.
Cooperation With Authorities.
In as far as is possible it is also
planned by those at the head of the
organization to cooperate with the
authorities in enforcing the law.
1T is useless to undertake to get the
streets safe by approaching only one side
of the question. said one man who has
become interested in the street safety
| movement. If every pedestrian in the
city could be made to use care. but We
hiclists were allowed to drive as fast and
as recklessly as they pleased, no good
could be accomplished.
"On the other hand. it is impossible to
throw the entire responsibility on the
shoulders OF the Veh1cESt. 1Or no matter
how careful he may be. he cannot pro-
tect the walking public II they are bound
to make unexpected moves such as dart
ing out into the street without notice, or
walk through crowded thoroughfares
reading or so interested in conversation
as to be tloughtless of what they are
DOING
BY the number of traffic cases which
are being made daily in the Police Court
it seems that the police are doing much
to support the street safety campaign.
Educational Work by Police.
In many cases, too, the police are work
ing along educational lines. trying to in
still In the drivers the need of obedience
to the traffic regulations and the speed
laws.
The Safety signs which were installed
in the cars of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. urging upon all
patrons the necessity of care, are proving
silent messengers of safety. Their bril-
liant redness and bold white lettering
can hardly fail to attract the attention
of the street car user.
Communications have been sent to sew
eral other cities which are working for
street safety to learn just what they have
done toward stopping accidents and pre-
venting loss of life through; carelessness-
So far none of them has been heard from,
but replies are expected in few days,
and it is anticipated that numerous val
liable suggestions may be received.

the contributory retirement plan, with its
salary-increase feature, governmental
committees and commissions as well as
national civic bodies have reported in ia
vor Of 1t, and it received the approval OF
ex-President Taft. The press of the coun-
try is largely friendly, and from no quar-
ter so far as the writer is aware, has
come condemnation. Under these circum-
stances. and bearing in mind the growing
dissatisfaction with straight pension sys-
TENS in the governments that have adopt
ed them, why not cease playing with fire.
and get down to work along practical
lines? GEORGE A. WARREN.

ST. fIARIES DROPS TWO

There is gloom among the baseball

given the visitors. yet the fact re.
mains that the threatened off day
break for st. Maries came at a most
disastrous time. and the locals we're
far from playing the high class base
hall they are capable OF play ing.
Luck, for one thing was certainly
with the visitors, and this combined
with many costly errors by the locals
at the most critical points OF the
game, proved directly responsible for
many of their scores.
Despite the large scores both games
proved interesting to the spectators,
as It was baseball Ia the true sense
of the word all the time, both games
being featured by several double
plays, and extremely long hits.
After the result Of Saturdays game
was telephoned to Standpoint the fans
of that city got together and arranged
an excursion Tor the Sunday game
and over a hundred supporters of the
Standpoint team came up Sunday to
see the contest. Despite the fact
that the locals we're defeated so over
