s.orie. Of the War
wheIesale Smuggling.

Smuggling on a wholesale scale Is
proceeding at Bergen-op-Zoom. ae-
cording to a frontier correspondent
Of the Telegram of Amsterdam. The
traffic between Holland and Belgium in
this region has never been SO heavy,
he declares although much of the bus
mess violates, at least in spirit, the
Dutch laws covering exports in time
of war. On the two days preceding
the fling Of the correspondents mes
sage only $4,000 kilogrammes OF mer-
chandise was allowed to cross the
border at Bergen p-Zoon, but this
amount, it is claimed, was ab1ormaliy
small.
"Of rice alone" states the corre-
spondent. ''one hundred tons were
sent last week to Belgium. Flour.
bacon and petroleum pass the frontier
every day. At some hours the road
between Bergen -op -Zoom and Putte
reminds one Of migration--sives in

Antwerp, only the stream is in the
opposite direction. Carts of every de-
scription, bicyclists by hundreds, and
foot passengers. all with bulky parcels
as they go towards Belgium, but empty
handed as they return"
1t Is explained that persons crossing
| the frontier are allowed to carry foul
| pounds of rice and four pounds OF flour
The peasants earn about forty cent
carrying this quantity from Bergen

Bull Moosery and the Future.

Chairman Robinson of the New York
bull moose state committee nephew
of Mr.. Roosevelt-will retire from Of
flee. The expenses of the organization
are to be cut. Economy will thus be
made q feature Of the reform.
In announcing his purpose Mr.. Rob-
inson said: II have been chairman for
two years. and 1 want somebody else
to have try at It"
That is a patriotic and unselflsh spir-
it. Pass the cake around. II anybody
thinks he can do better in the place for
the cause, here Is his opportunity. Mr..
Robinson invites him to try his hand.
Who should respond? First Of all. he
should be q devoted adherent Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Second. he should
know pretty well the game Of politics.
Third, he should be a man of means,
and in close touch with other men OF
means. And, fourth, he should be a
liberal and cheerful giver to the move
ment- Mr.. Roosevelt likes that sort.
The total cost in dollars and cents
OF bull moosery to date is not known.
But doubtless "the demnition total" is
large. II was an expensive diversion
at the start. The leaders, as a rule,
| were rich, and in the contest Of 1912
they put mp q remarkable fight. Their
campaign was conducted with vigor.
and as II supported by a strong box OF
largo proportions. They could not have

canvassed so many states ana secured
such returns upon q small allowance.
Much less has been done since, and
but little seems now possible. The fad
has passed, as fads will pass. Politi-
cal fads are no more enduring than
those OF other kinds.
Still, if anything more, however lit
tie. is to be attempted. money will be
necessary. Legitimate campaign ex-
penses are heavy in a country so large,
and with an electorate divided on many
questions. There are half dozen fs-
sues now upon which controversy
wakes warm.
And then many men hesitate to put
up" for q cause that looks unpromis-
ing. They want return for their
money. Convinced that there is "some-
thing in it, for them, they are touch
ed" with ease. Otherwise. they hesi-
tate, and sometimes refuse.
Bull moosery as an fnvestment-a
thing to be offered and explained to
hard headed men Of anairs-nay not
be called a lure today. It looks rickety
and uncertain. So that those bull moos-
ers who are still holding on. or who
may accept chairs recently occupied by
others. may expect, and should be pre-
pared, to bear a financial burden Of no
insignificant weight.

Street Widths.

The Commissioners have submitted
an emergency estimate Of $1,000 for the
widening Of 14th street between F street
and Pennsylvania avenue to accom-
modate the projected new car line that
is to connect the tracks at F street
with those at the Avenue for the ac-
commodation Of the employees Of the
government bureaus located south of
the Monument. The street at present
for this one block Is only forty-six
feet wide, whereas above and below 1t
is seventy feet in width, and the great
er width is necessary to make room
for a double car track. The change will
involve merely the cutting of of the
sidewalk on each side, and there should
be no question about the authorization
and appropriation.
This proposed change might profit
ably be repeated in several parts Of
the city. In numerous instances streets
are suddenly narrowed for no apparent
reason and the space that on one
stretch Of the thoroughfare is in pave
ment Is given over to sidewalk. These
sudden alterations of street widths
are discommoding to traffic and of no
advantage whatever to pedestrians. AS
the city grows in population and its
possible foot of space between curbs.
and IT would be a valuable improve
1nent for changes to be made in street
lines uniformly throughout the city to
give the maximum of traffic space
without unduly congesting the side
walk allowance. In other streets con-
siderable space could be given to pave
ment by reducing the sidewalks, even
where there are no abrupt changes of
width. the sidewalks being now much
wider than is at all necessary for DE-
destrian traffic.
These changes ought to be under
taken without further delay. They will
cost more later and moreover will in
Voive more serious disturbance of
existing conditions. With the 14th
street alteration as a starting point
the Commissioners might profitablv
take mp this subject promptly for prac-
tical consideration with a view to the
reafignment of curbs to make the nf.
most possible provision for the traffic
of future years. which is certain to he
much heavier than now.

The President and Stumping.

By accepting the indianapolis invita-
tion Mr.. Wilson practically invites
scores Of others: and they will reach
him. Already there are requests that
he speak from his car. or at specially
arranged meetings. on his way to
Washington from San Francisco next
spring. He will find It difficult to de-
cline. He will not decline, but reap
benefits from accepting. Wherever he
speaks he will face . crowd all atten-
tfon.
In the popular sense, Mr.. Wilson is
not an orator. He lacks the snap and
ginger, the postures and gestures, OF
the trade. He argues. but does not act.
He sets nobody wild on the instant, but
sends everybody home with something
to think about. Whether men agree
with him or not, they consider what
he says, and comment on the form in
which he puts 1t.
More than any other man since
jackson, Mr.. Wilson has shown leader
ship within the ranks of the demo-
cratic party. When Simon has said
wig-wag, democrats have wig-wagged
They have followed him-some to the
extent of reversing themselves. In the
matter of the Panama canal tolls his
own about-face was no more frankly
or swiftly executed than that of many
others at his instance. The Jacksonian
record contains nothing eclipsing that
for sheer domination.
For these reasons Mr.. Wilson will
prove a strong drawing card on the
stump. Men of all parties will want to
see and hear the man who has "set the
pegs" in that way.
Moreover. of late years the people
have acquired a taste for a President
who visits and addresses them face to
face. 1t is not an unbending on his
part. for as he gets his Office and
importance in 1t from them they stand
on equality with him. Gen. Harrison,
who was the happiest and most effect
i've off-hand political speaker Of his
day, charmed them. And Mr.. Mckinley,
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft all made
excellent impressions and many friends
on their tours while in Office.
Since taking the reins Mr.. Wilson has
been buster than any of his predeces-
sors in the same length Of time. His
place has been in Washington, and he
has kept 1t steadily. But, as now seems
likely, and as everybody hopes, sit
uation approaches when he can take
rest and look around; and he could
not do better than employ the time
visiting sections he has never seen,
and speaking to great numbers of peo-
pie who otherwise would never see
him.

Old Timers,

What lots Of jokes we strove to make
In good old days gone by,
About the chaps who used to take
Their knives to eat their pie,
Oh. they were most diverting elves.
But now and then. alas.
They tried to suffocate themselves
By blowing out the gas.
And yet the speeches that they made
Would stir US to the heart.
The simple eloQuence displayed
Meant more than polished art.
In patriot mood they sought the halls
Where mighty men have stood
Although at making social calls
They weren't any good.
These are the days when speakers please
By polish and address,
Displaying histrionic ease
And scorning rugged stress.
II those old chaps could reappear,
With energies so stout.
We'd lead them to the gas and cheer
The way they'd blow it out.

Make the Coasting Safe!

During the recent prevalence of snow
in Washington the children greatly en-
joyed themselves sliding down hills on
their sleds. Several serious accidents
occurred, one Of which has resulted in
the death of a boy. The policemen
all did their best to keep the children
from using dangerous hills where the
traffic is heavy, but the youngsters per-
sisted in taking their chances. because
practically there are no perfectly safe
hills in the city and the children ap-
parently reason that they might as
we'll run their risks at one place as
another.
The District government ought to
take coenizance Of the fact that chill
dren will slide down hills when snow
covers the ground. that they regard it
as their right and that to stop them is
Utmost as impossible as to dam the Po-
tomac. The proper thing to do is to
make coastins as safe as possible. and
this can only be done by designating GER
tain streets where the youngsters can
enjoy themselves without fear Of coll
1ision with street cars. motors or
wagons II such streets were thus
designated it would be fair to pro-
hibft the use Of any other places under
renalty Of arrest and punishment. with
This done. the par+nts would doubtless
co-operate by forbfdding their children
TO slide anywhere else than on the
designated place
Such a system would necessarily in
terfere somewhat with street traffic,
hut it Is better to put a slight handicap
IIpon the movement Of vehicles for a
few days each winter than to allow
conditions to prevail that inevitably
will cause several deaths with one
fatality already recorded and half
dozen serious accidents Just short Of
fatal there Is abundant reason for ac.
ton that will at least absoive the DIS
trfct government from responsibility
for negiecting this matter In all Hike
1ihood there will be several more snow
falls during the winter and with the
experiences Of the past few days in
mind the Commissioners should move
now to provide safe sliding places for
the weeks to come

cepted the advice OF those who knew
the town and its tastea, and had seen
many governors inducted into ofMoe.
Simplicity is all very we'll. but there
are occasions when ceremony and
elaboration are the appropriate caper.
To omit them is to err. To adopt them
IL to confer wide and great pleasure.
The plainest Of the plain people enter
into the spirit of doing marked honor
by appropriate display to important
public servants.
Now and then some dyspeptic makes
the suggestion that there are too many
'tfrills" in Washington. that the in
auguration Of President should be a
mere matter Of taking the oath of Of
fee. Why a parade of any kind? Why
the importation Of q single brass band?
Why not let the departing President
welcome the newly arrived President
by q handclasp across the Office desk,
and let 1t go at that?
We shall not, should not, see that
sort of thing adopted. Popular taste is
all the other way. The people at large.
no less than the people OF Washington,
like the established order. Thousands
at a distance are eager to make the
journey to see the transfer Of authority
made from one leader to another. And
they get the worth Of their money, and
remember a delightful experience
when 1t does not snow.
When a street parade, civil or mill
tary. led by q brass band. fails to
rouse, that community has ceased to
be normal Something Is the matter;
and 1t should consult specialist. 1t Is
threatened with decay. For while the
blood Is red and the veins are full, and
the circulation is free, the normal hui
man being leans on the proper occa-
sions to hullabaloo, and warns to those
who provide 1t.
