WHY DON'T THEY GET HIM?

What would we say of a homesteader in wild country whose stock would be ravaged by bears who would miss cow or a pig or a calf and in an endeavor to abate the nuisance, would wage war against weasels, rats, groundhogs and things Yes, what would we say ? No doubt we would say that he is fool because neither yeas els rats nor groundhogs ever killed a COW, pig or a calf That is undeniable Consequently we would be right in calling the man fool for not going after the bears because the bears would be to blame. Yet the warning nations are at one anothers throat, killing one another's men, wo- men and childre nwhen as a matter of fact these latters are no more to blame for the trouble than the weasels, rats and groundhOgs would be for the loss of COWS, pigs and calves. The heads of those nations are to blame. Then why not go after them? There is no doubt in anybody's mind that if the Kaiser was out of the way there would be no war, and the same can be said about the heads of the other nations. Be the head of a government in one man or hundred men. Let the common people get to the head the source of trouble, up-root it and the trouble will cease. These are undisputed facts.
 In this great war; the trouble makers are free to go wherever they pease-seemingly unmoest- ed and command this or that man or army of men to kill this or that man or army of men, Order flyer or army of flyers to go and drop bombs here and there and everywhere, just so they kill somebody while they, the head men, are being spared. What lot of nonsense. In the United States, whenever some one thought him self aggreved, he made straight for the head in- stead of organizing his followers in an army and killing nnocents He went direct to what he thought was the source of trouble and although entirely uniustified he removed the source with out the loss of one single innocent. We almost wish that those fighting fools would get some sense.

BETWEEN TWO LOVES.

A day or two ago, a dispatch from Valdez stated that the progressive republicans had met and had nominated a ticket for the legislature. At the same time, they had endorsed Wicker sham for delegate to congress.
 Looking over the list of nominees, we discover the name of Arthur Frame of Anchorage, who was nominated candidate for the lower house. Of course the name is familiar and led to little inquiry that revealed the astonishing fact that the nominee is closely related to the editor of the 18th Star, a weekly publication at Anchor age and formerly editor of the Valdez Common er Now, it is a well known fact that the eminent editor never had much use for anybody with a penchant for republication. He has always stood firm for the democratic party and it's principles, althought of recent years he has demanded of every democrat that progressive" be added to their name-which was right, but above all every member of the party must be democrat and no mistake There is no doubt but that the con vention at Valdez that nominated Arthur Frame for candidate was framed up by Mir Heron, owner of the Anchorage Daily Times and it's edi- tor Mr. Steel whom we know are republicans and who only recently picked up Wickersham' s fight We should remember also that for years, editor Frame has been Wickersha mman, from the word go, although democrat, and as such has always opposed Heron and Steel Here we reach a situation that is very suggestive. Either Heron and Steel nominated Arthur Frame can didate to silence editor Frame or they are going to join the democratic party, and abandon Wick ersham, because at this juncture enters Senator Sulzer The latter is democratic candidate of the right kind, acknowledged so by editor Frame and being the democratic candidate for delegate to congress must draw editor Frames support. Thus we find editor Frame between two loves, as it were. The question naturally arises; which side will he jump? If he continues to hang on Wickersham's kite, he must oppose Suzer. On the other hand if he supports the latter, he must

WANTS DISTRICT HEADS
TO REGULATE PARKING
Joseph L. Crupper, Lumber Mer-
chant, Sues for Writ to Compel
Commissioners to Act.

Joseph L. Crupper, lumber merchant
at 18th street and Ohio avenue, today
applied to the District Supreme Court
for a writ of mandamus against the
District Commissioners to compel them
to issue regulations governing the use
of public parking spaces by the owners
of abutting properties.
Mr. Crupper claims that Congress by
act of February 2, 1904. authorized and
directed the Commissioners to nomi-
nate portions of streets in the District
authorize the use on such portions of
streets for business purposes by abut-
ting property owners under such regu-
lations as the Commissioners may pre-
scribe of so much of the sidewalk and
parking as may not be needed in the
Judgment of such Commissioners by
the general public.
Attorneys F. S. Bright. Joseph A. Bur-
kart and J. J. Darlington for Crupper
tell the court that, disregarding this act
of Congress, the Commissioners have re-
fused to make such regulations and
have ordered seventy business men oc-
cupying such spaces to vacate them on
or before December 81. The LAWYERS
also tell the court that the Commits
sioners refused public hearing on the
order of eviction.
Justice Siddons issued rule on the
Commissioners to show cause January
~ why the writ should not be issued.

NEW ASSESSMENT COMPLETE.
But Prince Georges County Will Not
Use Basis for Taxes Until 1918.

Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, December 90
The new assessment of all real estate in
Prince Georges county will not be used as
a basis upon which to make the levy for
the revenue of the county for 1917 This
announcement was made by H H. Sas-
seer, supervisor of assessors. under whose
direction the new assessment has been
practically completed. The reason for this
decision is that number of the counties
have not completed the reassessment.
and the commissioners of Prince Georges
county think it would be unjust for this
county to pay taxes to the state under
the new and increased assessment when
some of the counties pay under the nres-
ent assessment. 1t is understood that
the state tax commission is inclined TO
accent the decision of the county com
missioners in this regard. and that the
new assessment will not 20 into effect
until 1918.
According to Supervisor Sasscer, the
ment will be increased about $4,000. 900.
or to about $50, 000,0 600. Despite the fact
that the cost of making the new assess
ment will probably reach $4,000 1t is
believed the county tax rate will be re-
duced about Is cents on the 500 The
present rate is $1.49 on the SlOO the
highest in the history of the county. it
is said.

SPAIN AGAIN PROTESTS
GERMAN U-BOAT POLICY
Refuses to Admit Teuton 1nterpre-

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, via Paris, December %
The note addressed to Germany on the
submarine question by the Spanish
government reviews at length the
policy of Madrid from the time the first
Spanish ship. the Isidoro, was torpedoed
in August, 1915. 1t DECLARES that the
Spanish government has always main
tanned that it was Illegal to destroy
prizes, as is the constant practice of
submarines, and that the cabinet also
demanded the observation of the decla-
alton of London, notably article So
which it is maintained submarines vio-
late by abandoning the crews of
sunken ships to the mercy of the waves

The note further recalls the vigor of
the representations of the Spanish gov
caused the Berlin government to be
surprised at the radical attitude of
Spain. whose protests. 1t is held, have
been more energetic than those of any
other neutral state, even the United
States of America. With regard to the
contraband question the note says:
What the Spanish government does
not admit is the central empires inter-
probation of international law whereby
have always complained and protested
against such an Interpretation"
The note concludes with an announce
ment that further steps are being taken
to avoid or diminish in future the risks
to Spanish shipping.

Vigorous Protest.

In September of this year the Span

protesting vigorously against the tor
pedoing of Spanish steamers by Ger

dispatches from Spain stated that in
dignation over the operations of the
submarines was growing throughout
the country and that mercantile and
shipping bodies were bringing strong
pressure on the government for action.
In October a Berlin dispatch said that
the German government had offered to
let Spanish fruit ships sail unmolested
under certain guarantees and provided
that the allies permitted similar car

The agitation in Spain continued to
grow, and on December IL Alexandra
Lerroux, leader of the Spanish radical
party, introduced a bill in the cham Der
Of deputies prohibiting Spanish sub

This was followed on December % by
the introduction of a resolution by the
republican party declaring that there
was urgent need of putting a stop to
the torpedoing of Spanish ships. which
was continuing to weaken a merchant
