Marriage Regulation.

The clergymen of Cleveland are plan
ming a move in the right direction which
Will stimulate similar endeavors else
where 10 prevent the marriage OF those
who are physically unfit. 1t is proposed
that all those who are permitted by law
TO perform marriage ceremonies in that
city agree not TO act in any case where
the contracting parties do not present
medical certificates of physical fitness as
well as marriage licenses. In this way
it IS hoped to check to some extent the
marriage of those who are afflicted by
disease or who are otherwise physically
deficient.
But agreement by ciergymen or Others
competent to perform ceremonies will not
suffice TO effect the end of preventing the
marriage of the physically unfit There
must be law and its vigorous enforcement
TO reach this end, for when the system of
regulation is based only upon some pri-
vate organizations resolve there can be
no penalty for violations. and wedding
fees are often very tempting TO those
who are authorized to pronounce people
as man and wife.
Nevertheless. the Cleveland experiment
II actually undertaken. will be well worth
OBSERVING That there is need of some
form OF regulation to prevent the mar
rage OF the unfit is obvious. Washington

land to the presidency. Gen. Garfield
filled the Office with a man Objectionable
to the two New York senators-Conkiing
and Platt-and in a huff they resigned
The next year their friends sulked In the
state race, which gave Mr.. Cleveland the
governorship. and that success paved the
way for Mr. Cleveland s. promotion to the
presidency in 1884
1t is not so well known. but neverthe-
less fact. that Mr. Taft offended the
republican leaders of New York by the
appointment of Mr. Loeb, He had in
mind to oblge Mr. Roosevelt. who had
asked for something even higher for his
secretary. But as Mr.. Loeb was wholly
without political influence in the state.
and unknown in local circles 6f party
management his elevation to a post of
much Importance was resented. Nor
did his conduct of the office-which was
good-soften this feeling. He was re-
garded as A sort of alien from the be-
ginning off his term.
Now il Is Mr.. Wilson's turn. He is be-
twixt hawk and buzzard. The man he
favors for collector is not acceptable to
the leaders of the New York democracy

sonally most worthy. but politically of

grown a little warm

Mr.. Wilson and Patronage.

Fresh from an audience with the Presi-
dent sought in behalf of a friend for
office, White House visitor was asked
What did Mr.. Wilson saw" Nothing"
VAS the reply. He listened very po-
liteiy. and smiled"
Mr.. Wilson is getting the hang of the
matter. Why should he say anything
In such circumstances? Why go beyond
attention and a smile?
a man recommending friend for office
is apt to provoke smile If President
possesses humor. His praise is certain
10 be high-too high. He could not be
conservative if he tried. His friend is
the very man for the place. The ap-
pointment would give general satisfaction.
Make il. Mr. President. and you'll make
a ten-strike.'
II was said of Mr.. Cleveland that he
looked bored when patronage was under
discussion. Men primed with eulogies of
friends asking recognition were chilled
almost into silence. They forgot. or
mangled in delivery, the little speeches
they had prepared. and left the White
House without line on the Presidents
probable action.
Gen. Harrison was attentive. but formal
and reserved. He might be favorably
impressed without giving a sign Of his
feelings. An appointment asked one day
might be made the next. but it came as
a surprise.
MIR. Mckinley was so cordial. the over
sanguine were apt to be misled. His
manner expressed something like this:
Glad TO see you. What is II you want,
and who is the man you think ought to
have II? Talk to me frankly" There
was no intention to inspire false hope.
The business was simply In the hands
of a sympathetic man, who wanted at
all times to be agreeable.
If the caller managed to get his own
name into Mr.. Roosevelt's ear he was
lucky. The name Of the man in whose
interest he had called had to take its
chances. The Presidents talk swamped
the visit
Mr.. Taft's manner was a mixture OF
good nature and business II smacked a
little Of both the Harrison and the
Mckinley manner. He made no prom
ises- He asked no questions. But he
heard his visitor out, and parted with
him pleasantly.
Mr.. Wilson as a politician has had little
experience as compared with his FIVE
predecessors named. Before entering the
White House they had for years been
engaged in politics: had shaken hands
with and heard appeals from thousands.
But he Is new to the business. and prob
ably wise in his caution. He can afford
both attention and a smile to callers. but
not much more until he learns all the
rules Of the game. The more earnest
his desire to make good appointments the
more careful he should be AT a time
when many are to be made. and a score
Of applicants for every Office are pressing
for his favor.

The Conservation of Bird Life.
From the New York Herald,

From the New York Herald
That the national government is inter-
esting itself in the important question OF
the conservation Of bird life is shown by
the order forbidding the importation Of
skins and feathers from the Canal Zone.
II is also gratifying to learn that Henry
Ford. a Detroit manufacturer has i'm
ported from England a large number of
larks. thrushes. linnets and other song
birds and liberated them on his farm.
where they will probably increase and
spread over the state. Few of us are
aware Of the enormous slaughter Of birds
that has been permitted to go on in all
parts Of the world in order that women
hats might be fashionably trimmed. Lon
don is now the center Of the feather mar
ket and Paris that OF the industry by
which these feathers are converted into
trimmings and ornaments. All over the
world birds are killed in countless num-
bers to supply these markets. Such IL
the greed of the hunters that more than
one species has been almost completely
exterminated.
It II well that private citizens as well
as the government should try to stop the
slaughter.

An Instructive Traffic" Case.

Yesterdays list of traffic cases in the
Police Court printed in The Star should
be carefully studied, for it contains a
conspicuous instance of the workings of
the law in protection of life on the
streets. Taking them in order, these
case may be summarized as follows: Col
lateral of So for violating the fifteen-foot
rule: So collateral for speeding In auto:
81 collateral for driving the wrong way
around a circle So collateral for violating
fifteen-foot rule: S. collateral for the
same: S. collateral for speeding in auto;
81 collateral for riding cycle on side
walk; IS for speeding in auto; 81 collat-
eral for violating fifteen-foot rule; $40
collateral for speeding on motor cycle;
IS collateral for speeding in auto; 81 COL
lateral for driving on wrong side OF
street: So collateral for speeding in auto.
S. collateral for collision between cycle
and pedestrian; S. collateral for speeding
in auto; SO collateral for same; IS col
lateral for same; So collateral for same:
s. fine for violating concentrating rule
with wagon; $50 fine. with alternative of
workhouse for thirty days. for obstruct-
ing street with pushcart: personal bonds
for speeding In auto: So fine for speeding
in auto; SO fine for speeding on motor
cycle.
Thus out of twenty-three arrests only
five defendants appeared in court There
was no absolute uniformity in the collat
erals taken. Two violators of the fifteen
foot rule forfeited So collateral each, an
other So and another SIS. The auto speed
ers forfeited s. in seven cases and SO
in one case. while two went to court and
h H. H. -
one was fined S. One driver who went
the wrong way around circle forfeited
81 while a driver who went to court on
a charge Of turning the wrong way at
a corner was fined So OF two motor cy-
Gle speeders. each mulcted in $40, the one
who forfeited collateral suffered no more
than the one who went to court.
But the case of great public interest
is that Of the man who was charged
with obstructing the street with a push
cart. This was the prize case on the cal
endar. He was one Of the five who APP
peared in court probably because he had
been unable to furnish bonds for appear
ance and could not escape. and this was
certainly well for the public security. for
of all the forms of street vici0usness
which the traffic rules are supposed to
correct that Of pushing a handcart Is
the worst. Think of the danger that these
juggernauts CONSTITUTES. They carry no
horns to herald their swift approach.
They are the terrors of the pave. and.
luckily. this case now stands forth to
serve as a terrible warning to the push
cart speeders that they must mend their
ways. Every minor offender. every mere
auto speeder and corner cutter and vio-
lator Of the fifteen-foot rule should bear
constantly in mind the terrible example
OF James Callas. who is now languishing
at the workhouse for a month because
he placed the lives of countless people in
jeopardy by pushing his cart a bit too
slow to suit the ideas of an eagle-eyed
policeman.

Air Preserves.
From the Baltimore American.

That satirical prophecy to the effect
that some day a grasping monopoly would
find a way to make air private property.
to space it of into zones and compel
the average citizen to pay for his breath
ing fluid just as he must now pay for
his drinking fluid-if he lives in a big
city-is just a trifie nearer to realization
than 1t was a year ago. Great Britain,
anyhow, has through recent legislation
arranged a regulation scheme for that
part of the great atmospheric sea that
hangs over the British Isles. No alien
is to be allowed to visit Great Britain
in an airship Of any design or to navigate
the atmosphere that Gibbs and flows above

flying machine without giving previous
notice of his purpose and obtaining spe-
cial permits from those having authority
to issue permits pertaining to travel
through British air.
