aTHE POOR YE HAVE:
WITH YOU AWAY

The holiday season is virtually
upon us, and already there is JOY IN
the air while the preparations lot
the long anticipated event are IN
progress. It's anticipation, especially
among the young, is becoming more
earnest every hour, and visions OF
the happy cheer incident to the AID
vent of Christmas fill many hearts
with gladness.
There are, however, many in this
and every land upon whom a chill
falls while Christmas is In the am.
It is a class who so often retire 70
earrets and crusts while others are
io IS .rrg surrounded by warmth,
food and the many Injuries OF life
The prevailing polar wave has ad-
ded much to the distress of those who
haze uss.r RED the winter king In
the distance who are COM
PEELED to wage incessant war against
the wolf which often shifts around
cold hearts and bare cupboards.
There are more unemployed people
in every city of the country now than
at any time during the past twenty
years. The doleful shadow OF the
war across the ocean has, in a meas
me cast our industries into a par
tia. ecIp5e and winter has ar:ivea
while many have been powerless to
provide for its reception. Such need
help and no better means of express
sing thankfufness for our blessings
during the holidays could be shown
than by making glad the hearts of
those who are now fighting for =
bare existence
In most cities organizations conf

at times cast bread upon the waters,
but we are assured it will return to
us after many days

CHEF COMPLIMENTS
POLICE FORCE

The report of Chief Goods to the
Board of Police Commissioners at the
meeting last night to the effect that
the members of the police force are
working harmoniously and vieing in
The work of protecting lives and pro-
rerty and enforcing the laws will
prove gratifying to ALL. Unfortunate

but times change and people with
Them, and theSpolicemen of the pre-
sent day, so far as can be seen,: are
not influenced by petty jealousies
which at one time hampered the eff
tectual working Of the force.
tits often observed that even
among the twelve apostles one was
out Of place. With this fact ever
before us, the Police Board, no more
anfallible than other human beings,
may occasionally make wrong Sc
lection. They however, RESORT to
every reasonable test, and generally
they take the best from the candl-
dates who offer their services.
The chief was complimentary in
his reference to the officers, and
among other things, said the men at
times remained on duty after their
tricks had expired.
There are some who too often
criticise or denounce those who are
the recognized guardians of the law
and order, no matter how consclen-
tious and active they may be. 1t
seems, however, that our officers
make as good showing as those OF
other cities. About one dozen high
way robberies have occurred In Wash
ington during as many days. and
the perpetrators are still at large.
II the police department of the cap
.al city, in conjunction with the
many detective in the employ OF the
District government, fail to bring to
Justice the perpetrators Of such out
RACES, patience should be shown the
corporaPs guard which constitute
orr protectors.

THE GERMAN DASH
UPON ENGLAND.

England stands appalled, today at
the daring raid of German cruisers
ut an early hour yesterday morning
upon cities on her eastern coast, and
the whistling of shells has brought
depression at the holiday season. At
least one hundred persons were kill
&c in Hartlepool, Scarborough and
Whitby, among whom were some wo-
men and children. Hospitals, churches
and houses were wrecked, entailing
less of about five m'll;cn dollars
The newspapers are endeavoring to
veneer this terrible incident of war
by observations to the effect that
the dash had been anticipated. Were
this fact the perfect success of the
German plan is an object lesson which
will cause many uneasy heads apart
from those which wear crowns.
There is suspicion that the in
vading ships had obtained some use
full information before starting On
theiI bold mission. 1t is said that
they displayed English signals and
were taken for friendly vessels until
thew opened FIRE.
The temerity Of the German naval
commanders was discussed yester-
dow by the different cabinets of the
world.
While the United States government
officials made no formal comment,
the hombardment was discussed in
Congressional as we'll as in executive
quarters. as all the naval events
al "o4d have been with particular ap'
plication to hypothetical situation
in which American defenses might bt
irsrolved.
The consenus Of opinion among ma
9atmen was that the raid by the G ~
man cruisers was for moral effect ant

TAFT AND THE TOLLS ISSUE

l<AIl AMI HE lOLLS ISSUE.
II Is no secpt that many nj the Re
publieans who oppose the repeal OF the
free tolls measure, are doing 10 because
the repeal proposition is "A measure fav-
Oreds by the Democratic administration.
That seems good politics to them. II Is
q kind of politics not new in our country.
and is M more peculiar 10 Republicans
than il In to Democrats. We believe the
idea is passing and will pass: yet We
dare not affirm that Democrats would
act differently were the situation rcvers-
ed. To break the hold which Wilson APP
pears to have on the majority in Congress
must be a strong temptation To them. IL
II a part Of the political game as il has
long been played in this country. When
a.Democratic speaker and a Democratic
House leader seemed willing Ia join
them. the chance seemed doubtless too
good to miss. and they played the game
according To ancient traditions.
Mr.. Taft, who was President when the
bill was passed. and signed il after il
pasted. now declares that he thoroughly
believed the tolls exemption was In cf-
feet a ship subsidy. Politically. Mr..
Taft was not opposed 10 the idea Of n
ship subsidy--had i'm fact recommended
that thing in his messages. The ex-
President il q great lawyer and may he
supposed 10 know the legal effect Of his

character of the free tolls. he was under

wise shipping can he exempted from pay
ing tolls through the canal.
Because they were willing tn break
down the Presidents influence with his
own party. and because they were will
ing to fight for the principle of ship sub
sidy, even through The Hague tribunal.
Republicans we're willing Ia oppose the
tolls repeal. Why Democrats like Clark
and Underwood were willing 10 join
forces with the Republicans remains IN
explained. II may have been for the
sheer JOY a twisting the lions tail: and
yet il has been a bs over a century since

ACQUIT SISTERS
OF KILLING BYERS
Jury Reaches a Verdict Not
Guilty After Long Ses-
sion at Morrison.

Dixon, Ill, Nov. 20.-A jury in the
Whiteside circuit court at Morrison
Thursday added two more names to
the long list of women who nave been
given verdict of mot guilty" on the
charge of murder in Illinois in the last
few years.
After a session of nearly 4S hours
the jury that heard the case of Emma
Hutton and Lillian Byers, charged
with the murder of their brother,
Emanuel Byers, July 9, returned a YER
dict acquitting both of the women.
The sisters took the verdict calmly
and thanked each of the jurors per-
sonally.
During the trial Mrs. Hutton assum-
ed all the blame for the death of her
brother and took all the responsibility
for the four shots that killed, although
witnesses claimed her sister Lillian
fired two of them.
After the verdict they said they had
no plans for the future only to take
care of their father and to get away
from the public. Miss Byers expects
to return to Chicago to accept posi-
ton as stenographer with a LaSalle
street firm for whom she formerly
worked.

RAILROAD FARES
To Be INCREASED
Raise Rates in Trunk Line and
Central Territory at 2
Cent Basis.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 20.-Mate-
rial increases in passengers fares
practically throughout the country
except in southeastern territory will
be caused by advances announced by
railroads in trunk line territory be-
tween New York City and Pittsburgh,
and in Central Passenger Association
territory between Pittsburgh and Chi
cago and st. Louis. Practically the
basis for readjustment is 21a cents
a mile. the present basis generally be-
ing PA cents.
Within Central Passenger associa-
ton territory the new fares will be-
come effective Dec 1, and in trunk line
territory and between the two terri
tories Dec. Is.
From Chicago to various important
points the present and proposed fares
are as follows:
To Cincinnati, Sc, 81
To Detroit, 81, $40.
To Toledo, $3.50. S5.s5.
To Buffalo, S12. s13.10.
To Indianapolis, $40, $3.50.

The fares to and from points inter
mediate between New York and Chi

the fares instanced.
The proposed advances were made
by the railroads after the interstate
commerce commission had suggested
increased passenger fares as one
method by which the revenues of the
carriers might be increased.
