One year WIENER OF Waldorf lay in

imposed upon them. A little proctor in

Urinary with Mysteries. Even the grief
caused by the casualties among tho
football gods has been partially as
suaged. II laughter Is good for the soul
WIENER of Waldorf Is a blessing.
And still the telegraph wires sag
with Wiener,sms. A young gentleman
asks on Harvard Union paper IL "the
philanthropist Is good for a carfare."
A Philadelphia uncle or alleged uncle

Two Remedies for Fall Congestion
in tho Tombs.

II Is generally agreed that the annual
fall congestion in the Tombs results
from the closing Of the criminal courts
when the judges take their summer va
cations. That these periods Of rest are
essential TO their health and the proper
performance of their duties the Judges
all inform US Therefore. to prevent
this lamentable overcrowdlng some
method not involving a change in the
Judges vacation schedule must be
adopted.
1t is obvious that increasing the num-
Der Of Judges will not bring relief, for
this has been tried number OF times
without satisfactory results. The more
Judges the more rest they need; II the
number we're doubled each would re-
quire twice MS much time Off as he now
has. Elsewhere IS the cure.
Two possible means of avoiding over
population in the prison suggest them
selves. II appeal were made 10 the Grim
schedule OF the Judges and to refrain
from illegal activities when the courts
are closed, would they not respond pa
triotically therefor If 1t were explained
to them how necessary 1t Is for the
Judges to quit their benches to recruit
their strength would not the burglars.

the end OF September? This self-sacri-
flce would save the city the scandal
which has become too familiar TO its
people.
II. however, the gentry given 10 crime
refused to make this concession, the ad-
ministrative authorities have It in their
power to prevent the recurrence OF the
evil of a crowded Jail The Police Com
missioner might easily obtain the
Judges vacation schedule In the spring
and on II base a vacation schedule for
the police force. If five-sixths OF the
criminal courts were TO close. leaves OF
absence might be given to five-sixths or
the patrolmen and detectives for a CO.
incident period. Thus the supply OF
arrested criminals would he reduced 20.
the capacity of the courts to try and the
necessity OF doubling up" prisoners in
the city prison would not exist. when
the courts were all in session all the
police would be on duty. The Judges
would get their holidays. The present
disaffection among our leading law
breakers, which can be traced directly
to their shabby treatment while they
await trial, would be replaced by COM

Jeber Allies" and Rule

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Str. Mr.
Charles A. Gehrle's reply 10 my query
why Deutschland Ueber Alles?' Is well
enough as far rs II goes, but I hardly
think It expresses the sentiment OF the
words as sung by the Kaiser or his Gem
erals. or by their commands as they march
into demolished towns.
No one can md fault with a German or
any other man for loving his country, but
when he sets out to impose the yoke OF that
country upon unwilling neighbors. or TO
exact tribute. then he certainly exposes
himself to criticism.
After replying to my query Mr. 9ehrie
propounds me one IN return namely. why
