PROTEST ON PAYING LICENSE.
Some of People at Curb Market Dis
satisfied by Action of City.

There seemed to be considerable
dissatisfaction on the curb market
Thursday because of the fact that Mr..
II. G. McKagen, city tax and license
collector, Lad been there during the
morning TO coIecg licenses from any
o. hose on the curb market VITO were
selling meat or vegetables which had
been previously purchased by them
and which was not home raised pro-
duce.
Practically all OF the men who were
selling eatables on the curb market
told Mr.. McKagen that they had rails
ed the stuff that they were selling,
and these he told were exempt from
license. Mr.. ]. X. Jennings stated
that he had purchased cattle and
kept them for some time to fatten
them before he killed them and Mr..
McKagen endeavored to collect a Ii
cense from him, but he stated that he
would not pay it, as he thought that
the keeping of the cattle was prac-
tically the same as raising them and
that ne had been Informed that those
on the curb market would not be re-
Quired to pay licenses.
AS there seemed considerable dis
satisfaction on the curb market, May
or Jennings was asked about the mat
ter. He stated that under the license
any producer would not be required
to pay license in selling their pro-
duce in town. The curb market. as
he understood it, was for the pun pose
OF encouraging farmers to raise stuff
to sell in the city, and allowing thcm
to sell without n license would afford
the announcement which was sought
to be offered. However, if anybody
outside the limits of the city made a
practice OF purchasing things from
others for the purpose of selling them
in town, he was subject to the license
tax and would have to pay it, wheth-
er he sold on the curb market or else
where. This was going into competi-
ton with the city markets and mcr-
chants and anyone who did this would
have to pay the license, just as the
merchants in the city did. This aid
not encourage the production of
fccdstuffs among the farmers. which
was the desired aim. He stated that
II did not matter whether he bought
ii and fattcncd it or not. this was not
raising it, and the seller was subject
to the license.
Mr.. McKagcn, when asked about
the matter, stated that he was very
much pleased with he curb market
himself He had merely sought to do
his duty i'm seeking the collection Of
! licenses from those who purchased
stuff and then sold it on the curb
market or anywhere else on the
streets. Hc had been Informed that
som" OF those who were selling on
! tho curb market were making a prac-
| tic" o. buyin" cattle to slaughter and
selling II on the curb market and he
, had investigated ana found that This
! was tru" Of one or two of the dealers.

Juvenile Law Breakers.

Six boys. all but one under sixteen
years of age. have been arrested for
unlawful riding in automobiles be-
longing 10 other persons. Four
others are under suspicion and prob
ably will soon be added to the de-
PENDANTS. Meanwhile the police are
looking for group of young high
way robbers who have been operat-
ing for some time around the Zoo,
preying upon little boys. Nor are
these cases of Juvenile delinquency
the only ones within the range of
the police knowledge Property is
destroyed by youngsters, who appar-
emily lack all sense of responsibility,
and householders are annoyed by the
unseemly conduct of boys in the
streets. There is deplorable lack
OF conduct standard on the part of a
large number of the youths of Wash
ington, and it is urgent that meas
ures be taken by the parents of the
boys in this community to bring them
to full realization OF their obliga-
tions, even at their tender years, to
society in general.

point opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt's as

point opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt's as
sertion that the convention had de-
MED him, Roosevelt, his just due.
At Chicago that year Mr.. Barnes
was again anti-Roosevelt. He stood
with Mr.. Root for Mr.. Taft, and was
accounted strong man in the ranks
of the Taft forces. So that the break
between Mr.. Barnes and Mr.. Roosc-
welt, which occurred in 1910. was en-
phasized in 1912. In the first clash
Mr.. Barnes was defeated; in the sec
ond, Mr. Roosevelt. And Mr.. Roose-
welt was the heavier loser. In the
Sherman contest Mr.. Barnes suffered
no great discontinue. In his effort
to supplant Mr.. Taft as the party
leader, Mr.. Roosevelt suffered loss
from which he is still suffering and
can never recover.
For time. after the election in
1912, there was discussion as to when
Mr.. Roosevelt first felt the impulse
to unhorse Mr. Taft and vault into
the saddle again himself In the
light of recent revelations it seems
likely that he returned home from
his African tour with that intention
formed. He plunged at once into
politics, to the surprise and regret of
many of his admirers, and never for
day suspended his activities. BY
the time the national convention met
he had national organization, SO
compactly constructed it suggested
the work, not of few, but of many,
months.
The matter is not important except
as showing that Mr.. Roosevelt mark
ed the men who opposed him in 1910
as reasonably certain to oppose him
in 1912. The line between good
bosses and bad bosses then began to
run; and two years later all bosses
who could not be used for righteous
ness sake were cast by Mr.. Roose-
welt into outer darkness.

Helm for Lusitania Halted.

Undue stress may possibly be laid
upon the reports that steamers that
were making for the Lusitania in
answer to her wireless calls for help
were fired upon by German subma-
rines and turned away SO that they
were unable to reach the sinking YES
sci in time to be of assistance. 1t
is only fair to bear in mind that sub
marines operating at some distance
from the Lusitania, doubtless part
of the Gordon stretched for her in
Perception, were unaware of her sink
ing for many hours after the disaster,
possibly several days. These under
water craft have no means of COM
munication while submerged, and can
talk to one another only at short
distances when ahoat on the surface.
If any ships moving toward the
Lusitania in answer to her call were
fired upon it was doubtless in the
ordinary course of submarine cruis-
ing.
1t has been claimed in behalf of
Germany that the submarine that at
tackled the Lusitania had no design
to sink her quickly, but sought only
to inflict disabling and possibly de-
stroying injury, but giving her time
to put all of her company into small
boats, and that the ship was actually
sunk by secondary explosion,
which in Berlin reports is attributed
to war munitions carried as cargo.
II, in fact, it was the design to in
flict slowly destructive wound upon
the Lusitania so that her crew and
passengers might all escape, there
would be no reason for any inter
terence with rescuing vessels by pre-
arranged plans. Nevertheless, the
TACT that these ships were fired upon
and prevented from reaching the
scene of the sinking of the Lusitania
they could not possibly have ar
rived before she disappeared-cann
iail to make bad impression and in
tensify the feeling OF resentment
against a policy OF commerce de-
struction that apparently takes no
reckoning of human life.

The Barnes-Roosevelt Break.

lsked at Syracuse when his po-
lrucal relations with Mr.. Roosevelt
were broken off. Mr.. Barnes replied
When ] voted against him in the
sonvention of 1910"
That was the state convention over
which Mr.. Roosevelt presided. He
defeated Vice President Sherman for
chairman, and controlled the pro-
ceedings generally. 1t looked very
much as if he had conquered the op-
position sufficiently to control the
New York delegation to the next re-
publican national convention.
That, however. proved to be a
hasty judgment. In 1912 New York
refused TO play Mr.. Rooscvelt's game.
The chairman of the republican ma
tionar convention was Elifu Root

Taft. and who in an official address

Red Hot, and Still A-Heating.

SO far as the prohibition issue is
concerned. the Kentucky campaign,
as The Star has several times pointed
out. is. far and away, the most inter
esting and important campaign on
this years card. Both the moral and
the economic aspects of the liquor
question are involved there to a pro-
nounced extent. Both parties in the
state are divided, and now are wres-
Ting with the approaching necessity
of writing platforms and making
nominations expressive of what
should be done in the case of an evil
generally confessed.
Both the President and Mr. Bryan
have been drawn into the contest,
the former on the side of anti-statc-
wide, the latter on that of state
wide, prohibition There is belief,
too, among some of Mr.. Bryan's
friends that the anti-statewiders out
side of Kentucky are hoping for such
an emphasis there of the difference
between the two men as will encour-
age movement for forcing Mr..
Bryan out of the cabinet.
The President. letter bearing on
the issue as presented in the Blue
grass state, which appears in print
today. will hardly satisfy the anti
statewiders there or elsewhere. 1t
does not declare against the agita-
ton of statewide prohibition, but
leaves the matter, in Kentucky and
everywhere, to local judgment. The
President quotes from a previous let
ter of his-ealled the Grogan letter
in which he declared that "it would
be arrogant on my part to state that
there were in my opinion no circum-
stances which justified an agitation
for statewide prohibition"
The statewide democrats in Ken
lucky, on the ground and familiar
with conditions. insist that while local
option, the county unit, has done
much good, the way is still clear for
the exercise of great power by the
drink interests, and that the power
is being exercised against the well
fare of the commonwealth. Hence
their insistence that only statewide
prohibition can cure the drink evil
in the state. Their leader is former
Gov. Beckham, who last November
was elected for a full term to the
United States Senate.
1t may be that the statewiders, in
turn, will now solicit letter from
Mr.. Bryan, who stands with them.
He and Gov Beckham are old and
very warm friends-were such on the
silver issue. When Mr.. Bryan has
visited the state in campaign years
which has been frequently-he has
been introduced to audiences by Gov.
Beckham and entertained at Frank
fort. Whether Mr.. Bryan will care

always be regarded as last resort
to take child before it. The real
duty in this matter lies at home and
not with the police. 1t is not be-
lieved that there is larger percentage
of delinquency in Washington than
elsewhere. but repeated instances OF
lawbreaking by boys demonstrate
that certain moral lessons are urgent
ly needed to correct a tendency that
if unchecked will later add seriously
