The Folly Of the Initiative.


Tacoma Washington, is OF the Western
cities that has adopted all OF the new political
fads, including the initiative, the referendum
and the recall. AS result, there Is perennial
political activity In that enterprisng burg. The
recalling of mayors. judges and other officials
seems to give the people OF Tacoma no end Of
pleasureable excitement and now the city en-
poyes are preparing to take advantage OF the
initiative to bring about raise In salaries.
An exchange describes the process fol-
lows: THE plan Is simple. The members OF
the fire department the first to act, and
they have prepared, In the various engine
houses, petitions for vote upon a proposition
for better salaries for firemen. Many more
signatures than are necessary have been &C.
cured, and the proposition will go the ballot
to be voted for at an election. to be held in the
near future. for the purpose Of recalling the
present mayor OF Tacoma The firemen are,
Of course. only the first The policemen will
take the thing up in the near future. and In due
time every class OF city employees will initiate
an election for more pay and less work"
No doubt. In due course of times the people
who have adopted these illogical fads will tire
OF them and return to more sane methods, but
public employees, having found a I wey to raise
salaries will keep the Initiative at work over
time as long poasible.-New Orleans Picayune.

Virginia Oyster Industry

As close parallel to Maryland. the oyster
conditions in Virginia are peculiarly interesting.
Chief among the striking facts is, that the pro-
duction the natural bars has increased even
more than leased areas until the total pro-
duction OF Virginia has increased from neg
ligible quantity to the impressive total Of 49,
900 900 bushels year. So wonderful has been
the development in Virginia that the question
there is how to find a market. a condition not
likely TO arise in Maryland. because OF her enor-
nous steam pack and better market fecihties.
In oyster lawmaking Maryland Is many years
behind Virginia, and this States lawmakers are
treading the paths OF those OF the Old Dominion

What About Becker

Charles Becker, former police lieutenant OF
New York. who convicted and given the
death penalty, has been given new lease his
life by the supreme court Of that State. His
has been reversed. and there are many
who do not believe he will ever be tried again
Becker was convicted of being the nstigator
of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, an alleged
gambler. 1t charged that Rosenthal had
''squealed" to the district attorney. duplicating
Becker in the graft cases. Rosenthal was shot
down by several noted gunner. four of whom

The supreme court declined to interfere with
the verdict Of the lower court IN their cases
There were many who thought Becker in
nocent. but the evidence strong against
him. The main witnesses, however were gamb-
lers and former gunner, who had also been
implicated in Rosenthars murder. IT is doubt
full IL Becker will come to trial again because
of the ruling out OF certain evidence allowed In
the lower court.-Montgomery Journal

VETERANS, OFFICIALS. SSHOOlkS.
While we questioned the wisdom of the house
increasing pensions as 1t did In the consideration
OF the appropriation bin on Monday. We have
no fear that this will either bankrupt or serious
ly embarrass the State. Nor do we believe that
the public schools will suffer. The senate may
have the nerve to refuse to concur In the In.
crease to the old soldiers. but we doubt this.
Love for the men who risked their lives and
gave up all they had for their State and country
often rises above COOL calculating, discreet judg-
ment
We are glad to see Auditor Moore as saying
that the increase in pensions will not result
in defcit IL the house adheres to its economies

reduction In the allowance for public schools
The general ASSEMBLY is as deeply interested in
the education OF the children as in charging the
provision being made for the old soldiers.
More likely Is 1t that officials and clerks who
had been slated for increases will lose out be-
cause of the pension increase. The house is re-
