The Stars Anti Weapons Fight.

At the hearing before Maj. Pull
man yesterday on the subject OF mo-
ton picture censorship, one OF the
speakers referred to the fight waged
by The Star against concealed weap-
ons. That is not an accurately in
elusive Characterization OF the effort
The Star has been making during
late years to secure a change of law
affecting deadly weapons in this Dis
trict. 1t is not against the concealed
weapon that complaints have been
expressed. pointed with frequent
tragedies in practical illustration OF
the peril of the present conditions,
but against the weapon that is open
ly displayed for sale. and is easily
and cheaply obtained by the erimi-
nally inclined. The Star recognizes,
of course, that the concealed weapon
is a danger, but it seeks to strike at
the source of the concealed weapon,
and put an obstacle in the way of its
original procurement. If weapons
cannot be bought save upon the pres
entation to the dealer of a permit
issued by some official, designated by
the law, under severe penalties for
selling. exchanging or giving away
such weapons without the display of
such a permit. there will be few con-
cealed weapons in the community.
The Concealed weapon" is merely a
phase of the gun-carrying evil. The
real danger lies in the weapon that is
shown freely in the shop windows,
and can be bought for song in a
few minutes, for any purpose. how
ever criminal. The Star will continue
its endeavor along this line until the
change in the law, which is dictated
by every consideration of public
safety, has been obtained.

At PHILADELPHIA in 1900.

There is a good theme for specula-
ton in the Syracuse disclosures re-
specting the maneuverings at Phila-
delphia in 1900 over the question of
= sunningmate for Mr.. Mckinley.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not want the nomi-
nation, for reasons then understood
and now reafhrmed. He was afraid
of being pocketed in an Office for
which he had neither taste nor equip
ment. and afraid. moreover, that the
bosses meditated his destruction.
He changed his mind partly upon
a suggestion from Mr.. Mckinley,
who saw clearly as rule, and was a
good counselor in a pinch. What
probably influenced Mr.. Mckinley?
The bosses? Or did he of his own
appraisement of the situation choose
between Mr.. Roosevelt, whom he
did not admire, and some man OF
whom he had even less appreciation
Tim" Woodruff wanted the nomi-
nation. He was a clever New York
politician, on good terms with every
body, and a host when campaign
management was concerned. But he
was hardly national figure, or as
soeiable in national equation with

The Saloon License Cases.

At last the issue between the Anti
Saloon League and the excise board
with reference to alleged evasions or
violations of the law in issuance of
liquor licenses is to be brought to d
test in court through the institution
of proceedings against fourteen deal
ers to whom it is alleged licenses
have been issued contrary to the
statute. These cases will test the letter
and the spirit of the law, and the
manner in which the excise board has
enforced it in its grant of licenses.
1t is highly desirable that the matter
be brought to a decision in court
rather than that it be allowed to re-
main an unsettled point of contro-
versy between the official body and
the recognized organization of tenn
perance. The courts will now pass
upon these cases Individually, and as
they comprise a wide range of con-
tentions, covering the whole field of
the dispute between the board and
the league in the matter of the in
depreciation of the law and its ap-
plication, the outcome will be of ma
terial Importance in the next annual
allotment of licenses. No action by
the court will reduce the net number
Of the saloons in the District, mas
much as they are limited by law to
800. and it is to be presumed that if
any license is invalidated by court
proceedings another will be issued in
place of it. The important question
is whether saloons have been estab-
lished within the prohibited areas
around churches, schools, etc, or with
reference to distinction between BUSH
ness and non-business streets. These
tests should. in fact, have been ap-
piled months ago, Immediately fol-
lowing the issuance of the present
series of licenses.

Woodruff could have forced his nomi-
nation in 1904, as Mr.. Roosevelt did
his, and then won at the polls, is a
question. He might have lost to
some stronger republican. as Mr..
Arthur did twenty years before.

No Naval Bombardment.

A report, curiously distorted from
the facts. yesterday indicated that
the German feet had evaded the
British naval Gordon. and, reaching
the eastern entrance to the Straits
of Dover, was bombarding Dunkirk,
on the Franco-Belgian boundary.
Later it proved that the shells that
were falling upon Dunkirk came from
German siege guns located several
miles inland, and that the kaiser's
feet was not in evidence. Thus the
prospect of great North Sea
naval battle passes. 1t has been ex-
pected ever since the war started,
but as yet there is no sign of readi-
ness on other side to preeipitate an

engagement on a large scale. The
nearest approach to such fight was
that off Helgoland at the end of Au-
gust, when the British sank several
German vessels. Since then there
has been only one other encounter
between the naval forces, when in
January the German ship Breslau
was sunk after a long chase. 1t has
been assumed that the British fleet
has maintained as close a guard over
all the possible ways OF German
naval emergence as the mine fields
and the German submarines permit
ted. and consequently the report Of
bombardment of Dunkirk from the
sea was surprising. 1t is evident, in
the light of the later correction, that
the German feet is still keeping close
to base.

Mr., Bryan in New York.

Mr.. Bryan has again invaded the
enemy's country" He so character
lied New York in the campaign OF
1896. when he appeared in the state
as the apostle of free silver coinage.
The gold standard was the over
whelming demand there. and he knew
he was fighting tremendous odds.
Hence his challenge in the phrase he
employed.
He did not so express himself at
Carnegie Hall last night. but might
have done so. New York city has
felt the curse of the saloon in poll
tics more than any other community
in the country. Indeed, the saloon
has been the source of much of the
political power welded in the town.
Many Tammany leaders have started
in life as barkeepers or bar proprie-
tors, and made their Joints local
political headquarters. They have
conquered in the sign of the white
apron and the diamond in the shirt
front.
When. therefore, Mr.. Bryan stood
in that presence and challenged and
denounced the drink evil he was YER
lily in the enemy's country real
enemy. strongly intrenched, and re-
sentful of his activity.
Mr.. Bryan, in company with other
advocates of prohibition, has taken
up the economic phase of the ques-
ton. which is very important. The
moral phase is now but feebly dis
puted. The saloon, as so many COM
munities know it. has no strong or
open defenders. 1t has wrought in
finite evil. When not under strict
regulation by officials conscientious
in enforcing regulations, it sows the
seed of crime and imposes the bur-
dens of poverty.
In discussing war we speak Of the
butchers bill" In discussing prohi-
bition Mr.. Bryan speaks of tn. drink
bill. and offers some staggering sta
tisties as to its size. 1t is a most
effective way of emphasizing his
point. Until recently, few persons
have realized the extent of traffic
which so many deplore and are or
ganizing to fight. But as Mr.. Bryan
pats the case. much is conveyed cal
culated to secure new recruits and
spur old to harder work.
The country may not vote prohibi-
ton in the near future. Great as has
been the growth of prohibition SEN
timent in the past two decades, much
ground remains to be covered. Money
values and taxes are now being taken
into account, and they have claim
upon attention. Something must be
put into the place of the thing it is
proposed to take away.
But that the cause of temperance
has been greatly advanced, and that
a further advance is on the cards.
cannot be disputed by anybody who
had observed events and properly ap-
praised the power and earnestness Of
the men, in politics and out, now IN
concerted action against the evils,
moral and economic, of excessive
drink.

self a megaphone.
Oh, music has wondrous charm, as
often has been told.
We stood in close attention as the

Now, Uncle Billy isn't any prophet
nor a sage.
He gets the worst of any talk in
which he may engage;
But sentiments all noble an refec-
tons all profound
Are lost unless they're uttered in a
mighty burst of sound.

RUSSIANS DRIVEN

FIERCE BLOWS DELIVERED BY
AUsTRo-GERMANS FROM BAL.
TIC SOUTH TO BEsSARA6IA.
The Possibility Of Farther Retreat
Being Calmly Considered by Rus
SLAMS Who Are Still Content Of
Ultimate Victory.

The greatest battle In the worlds
history is being waged by the leu.
tonic allies against the Russians along
1000 mile front.
The Germans, casting aside every
thing else, are concentrating their
every effort in a tremendous drive to
capture Warsaw and crush Russia.
Millions OF men are engaged in this
gigantic battle. whose line extends
from the Baltic in the north to Bes-
sardabia In the south.
Already the Russian lines have been
pierced in three different places.
North of Warsaw, Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg has forced his way
through and is driving the Russians
southwark toward the Narew river.
South of Warsaw Won Mackensen
has smashed the Russian line at the
Lubin-C holm railway. On the Baltic
shore Won Buelow, who is using large
forces of cavalry, has crossed the
Windau river and is pressing on to.
ward the stronghold of Riga to destroy
any hope of aid to Warsaw from that
direction.
Alarmed over the advance. Won Hin
denburg in the north and Won Mack.
ensen in the south. the probability OF
the Russians having to evacuate War
saw is being seriously discussed, both
In London and Petrograd.
In the Russian capital the possibili'
ty of further Russian retreat is being
calmly considered and consolation
taken from the old theory that the
further the invaders are drawn into
the country the worse 1t will be for
the Teutonic allies in the event of ul.
innate Russian victory.
