II was not long before they were
snugly established in their woodland

frosty evening arrived in due time. 1t
was an exciting moment for Perdita
when the match was applied to the

which came out of the smoke. Just

voice. "All that you need is a hood

Just then Perdita's husband rose

closely resembled charred human

gasped Perdita. as her husband
rushed past her to the door which u

He deposited his burden on the

New York Bomb Explosions.

Confidence in our vaunted American
civilization is rudely shaken occasion
ally by acts of lawlessness in the sup
posed strongholds OF advancement.
Lawiessness manifests itself in the
very centers of our population, where
schools for the education of the youth
abound and where the machinery of
government for the enforcement of the
law is supposedly most effective.
Against this very machinery. too. are
demonstrations of hostility from time
to time that betoken a serious tendency
on the part of some of the people to
strike at the foundations of civic or
sanization. The other day in New York
a bomb was exploded at the entrance to
the county courthouse in the Bronx
borough, just after the close of the
days session in the trial of man for
forgery. Had the explosion come a
few minutes sooner many lives would
probably have been lost. AS it was

Mr.. BRYAN and the Tariff.

Mr.. Hearst twits Mr. Bryan on re-
turning to his first love-tariff reform.
In his observations on the election re-
suits, Mr.. Bryan mentioned the tariff in
the terms of other days. when he was
"A member of the House and an eloquent
enemy of protection.
Those were stirring days. Mr.. C1eve-
land had been returned to the White
House on platform pIedging tariff
revision of the genuine democratic
variety, and Mr.. Bryan had been re-
elected to the House 10 help the work
along. He was young and ardent as
well as eloquent. and ne did his best
to obey the instructions of his con-
stituents He served on the ways and
means committee which prepared the
Wilson tariff bill. and supported it later
with speech and vote. At that time ne
was all for the tariff.
That Mr.. Bryan dropped the tariff
and took up silver was. in a way, forced
upon him. Mr.. Cleveland really was
the man who changed the issue. In
putting the financial question before
the tariff question IN his recommends
tions to Congress in 1899 MIR. Cleveland
destroyed the combination which had
elected him. He split his party wide
open, and made of the silver faction a
militant organization. which. in the
end. destroyed him The money
changers are in the temple" was the
charge of Senator Vance. a leader of
that faction, and al Chicago two years
later Mr.. Bryan was nominated for
President on a straightout free silver
platform. The tariff had been quite
lost in the shuttle.
Had Mr.. Bryan been nominated at
Baltimore, silver would still have pur-
sued him. The issue had three times
defeated him for President, and would
have administered another defeat.
1t was the nominal tion of Mr.. Wilson,
coupled with the republican division
created by the Payne law, which made
the tariff paramount again. Mr.. Will
son had never been a free silver man
in fact. had been anti-Bryan on that
issue-but had always advocated tariff
for revenue only. So when he was
made the party's leader, naturally and
necessarily the fight was made on the
tariff, and Mr.. Bryan, with the other
silver democrats. returned to their first
love.
The Underwood law is probably not in
every particular as Mr.. Bryan, with
full power, would have fashioned it.
His was the innuence behind the free
wool paragraph. Whether he support
ed the President in the fight for free
sugar has never been stated. But he
accepted the measure as the President
signed it, and in his recent deliverance
gave ii ,he Endorsement which he
thought it deserved as a party redemp-
tion of a party measure. What his
idea may be OF a paramount issue for
1916 he has no, as yet declared. AS an
experienced campaigner. he waits until

sentenced in this court, and that the
prosecuting attorney and the judge
were the objects of the malevolent de-
sign.
When a bomb was recently dropped
in the city of Paris by military avi-
ator. causing the death of a man and
a child. great indignation was express
ed by some Americans at what was de-
nounced as an act of barbafisnl. yet
almost every week bombs are exploded
in New York city. sometimes with loss
of life and usually with a large de-
struction of property, and little puoiic
feeling is manifested, each such eX-
plosion being viewed as merely another
incident of metropolitan life. whereas
every citizen of the metropolis shouio
be stirred with the deepest Indignation
and moved to demand the most V1gor-
Gus prosecution of the miscreants who
are thus defying the laws.
The fact that it is difficult to trace
such outrages to their source and to
identify and punish the Offenders does
not lessen the necessity for high pub
lie expectations in this respect. The
more insistent the w-abiding citizens
are that more and more vigorous ef-
forts be made to check such assaults
against the law. the more likely is 1t
that results will be scored. To accept
murderous and destructive explosions
as incidental to metropolitan life is to
lower the standard of our government
al efficiency and Inevitably to weaken
our sense of civic responsibility
1t has often been stated that Ameri-
can civilization has chiefly failed in the
matter OF the management OF large
cities. that the political scandals rife
in the main centers of population. the
corruption that thrives there, the iask
of a proper enforcement of local and
national politics in the selection of
municipal officials ard magistrates, all
stand as a token that our system has
broken down at the point of greatest
need of efficiency. Certainly these re-
current explosions in New York, espe-
cially such as this latest, directed
against the enforcement of law pro-
hibitive of one of the vilest of crimes,
are conducive to the belief that our big
cities afford a minimum of protection
to life and make u poor showing of law
obedience and enforcement.

Private Property at Sea.

The Emden's brilliant career as :.

ed as recalling the romance of sea-
rover days, when men put to sea in
ships and preyed for a year or two on

to port. But dashing as the Emden's
exploits were, they should not blind us
to the fact that destruction of private
property at sea is an anachronism. She

What Pistol Restriction Will Do.

1t is not hoped to prevent all crime
by any legislation limiting the traffic
in deadly weapons in the District, for
it is realized perfectly that certain
C, ines will probably be committed
whatever the state Of the law and how
ever difficult it may be to obtain per-
sonal armament. But that much can
be accomplished by this means toward
the reduction of crimes of impulse is
not to be doubted.
The pistol is the most commonly. used
weapon of violence. because it is easy
to manipulate and inf1icts a mortal
wound at a distance. 1t involves no
immediate personal danger to the user.
Under the present law it is almost as
easy to obtain as a glass of soda water.
A cheap pistol-some of them can be
bought for as little as S1-may be just
las deadly at short range as an ex-
pensive one. Most of the pistol crimes
are committed with these cheap weap-
ons. The expensive gun is usually the
kind bought by people who have a real
need of personal armament for protec-
tion or who feel more secure against
burglary with such a weapon in the
house.
There is no present thought to pro-
hibit the traffic in pistols altogether,
Evening star., 1914-11-13

but regulation is urgently. needed to
make it more difficult to get gun,
to interpose a check between an i'm
pulsive individual and the pistol stock.
Even with such a law enacted and en-
forced crimes will continue to be com
mitted by this means. Ways viii be
found to evade the law. perhaps, ana
even in full obedience to it pistols
will be obtained for murderous and
suicidal purposes. But crimes of I'M
pulse and passion will inquest, ,onably
diminish in this District in consequence
of such restriction as the require
ment that no pistol can be sold, eX-
changed or given away save upon pres
entation of a permit issued by speci,-
fed official to an applicant WHO can
satisfy him that he has reasonable
need and may be intrusted with
deadly weapon.
