The Roller Skating Danger.

A boy twelve years old was killed
by an automobile Monday in conse-
quence OF his own earclessness in
roller skating in the streets. He had
been holding on to wagon, and
when ordered away from it by the
driver he skated directly into the
path of the motor and was struck.
The inquest resulted in a verdict of
unavoidable accident and the ex-
oneration OF the driver of the ma
chine. A few days ago another boy
was killed in somewhat the same
way. He was hanging on to truck and
was pulled by one OF his companions
up to a position near the front OF the
machine, and he slipped and went
under the wheels.
These deaths are most deplorable
but they cannot be attributed to care
less motoring. The children use the
streets for skating and are a terror
to the drivers OF automobiles. The
great majority of the chauffeurs in
this city are careful, and exercise
every possible precaution to avoid
striking pedestrians. Children play
ing in the streets and boys skating
arc almost impossible to guess in
their erratic motions, and as long as
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-02-05

been subject of periodical unsettle-
ment. There is no assured method
of adjustment, despite all the lessons
that have been taught as to the need
of such means of safeguarding the
public from the distressing expert
ence of protracted strike. The
boards of conciliation provided for
by the Roosevelt commission which
settled the big strike do not work
with assured effectiveness. The state
of Pennsylvania. within which hard
coal mining is exclusively carried on,
has no reliable mode of strike pre-
vention and all the federal govern
ment can do is to supply mediators
when the contcnding parties reach
the point of positive disagree cement,
with strike impending.
During the next two months there
will be a succession OF proposals and
denials. counter proposals and rejcc-
lions. and doubtless the end of the
coal year will come without any
agreement being reached. The coal
using public is. in fact. on thin ice,
with no safeguards at hand. The Sit
uation demands the most thoughtful
by those who are in a
position to exert an influence to pre-
vent strike that cannot fail to be
for miners, for operators.
and especially for consumers.

The Bosses at St. Louis.

Charles F. Murphy will go to St.
Louis as a district delegate instead
OF as delegate at-large. He decided
the matter for himself. He might
have had the more conspicuous as
Segment. His reasons are not an
nounced. Remembering his expert
ence at Baltimore, he may have
chosen a place in the ranks to avoid
trouble AS a high private he will
not be called upon to head the New
York delegation and announce its
vote on the various propositions.
Thomas Taggart. on the other
hand, is under discussion for a place
among the big four from Indiana. and
will probably be chosen. He favors
the denomination of the old ticket.
Wilson and Marshall look as good to
him now as in 1912.
Likewise is Roger Sullivan mem
toned for a conspicuous part at St.
Louis. In the roundup at Baltimore
he was Wilson man, and is still a
Wilson man notwithstanding the ex-
preston in the Baltimore platform
about a second term. He failed in
his senatorial aspirations. but keeps
his hold on the party machinery in
Illinois.
Mr.. Taggart and Mr.. Sullivan did
not experience the hard fate at Bal
timore that befell Mr.. Murphy. Boss
es though they were. they were not
as conspicuous in the convention nor
as important as was the Ne& York
boss. Mr.. Murphy was the shining
mark that drew Mr.. Bryan's fire;
and the FIRE made history.
Maybe Mr.. Murphy is unduly ap-
prehensive There seems no good
reason for believing that the ST.
Louis convention will be inhospitable
to bosses. On the contrary, they
should fare well there. This year the
Nelson signal will fly The party will
expect every boss to do his duty.
And then Mr. Bryan will not be as
powerful at ST. Louis as he was at
Baltimore. Today he is more, out
of favor with the Wilson men
than Mr. Murphy was out of
his favor four years ago. In fact.
there is some speculation as to
whether he may not meet with as
sharp criticism at St. Louis as he sub
jected Mr.. Murphy to at Baltimore.
If such should be the case, what
scene that will be for Mr. Murphy !
And Mr.. Sullivan also will enjoy it.
In fact. the likelihood that Mr. Bryan
is booked for warm half hour or
so at St. Louis promises to swell the
size of the crowd. Unlike Mr.. Muir
ply, he can speak for himself; and
if attacked in the convention he
should make it very interesting for
the enemy.

Another Stamping Tour.

Ii the President can spare the time
he should by all means make another
stumping tour in the interests of pre-
parcdness. No subject is now half so
interesting. None carries SO much
OF Importance to the country. No
body's views on the subject are heard
with quite so much attention. Every
thing calls to him to exert his full
power toward the inauguration of a
thorough and comprehensive pro-
gram OF national defense.
And ths new itinerary should in
clude the south. 1t is in that quarter
Mr.. Bryan's influence remains strong
est. He is at present in Florida, is
suing criticisms of the Presidents
speeches and reafirming his own
opinions. And an examination of the
opinions OF southern men against pre-
paredness shows them to be exactly
in line with his. They are Bryanite
in every particular.
The President is classed now with
the jingoes. He is accused of want
ing war. A big navy, he is told. means
war. His appeals in that behalf. he is
warned, bear no other construction.
and will be so construed at home. and
particularly abroad.
1t seems hardly necessary to point
out that warship cannot be built
in a day and night. The navy the
President has in mind must be some
years in the building; and the cost,
of course. will be distributed over
the same length of time. Even If we
succeed in reaching first place on the
water-and that should be our aim
it will not be with speed making
us dizzy and bellicose. We shall go
at a sober pace, and be in a sober
state at the end OF the journey.
In this matter the President cam
not hope to escape attack and mis-
representation. Being a convert to
the cause, he is accused of being
overzealous; of desiring to push be-
yond the country's needs and pur.
poses.
All accounts agree that on the jour
ney just closed the President was we'll

best qualified person in the country to
appraise them. Hullabaloo often de-
fes analysis. even at the hands of the
most experienced politicians.
But now that the pool has been

keep it stirred. Out OF the discus
sion good is bound to come; and the

A Fathers Song.

There was father who remarked
Unto his youthful boy,
"In life / hope you have embarked
On career of joy"
But just the same, at Duty's call
That lad he did not spare,
But said. I'm tasks both great and
small
You've got to do your share!
Il did not raise my boy to tend the
furnace;
did not raise my boy to carry
coal,
Or do the other irksome things
that earn US
Contentment both of body and OF
soul.
/ did not raise my boy for harsh
contention.
| hope his manners never will be
rude
But incidentally I want to mention
! did not raise my boy to be a

The Perennial Hard Coal Menace.

Once more the country is threat
ened with break between the coal
operators and miners, that perennial
menace which involves heavy poten-
tial losses for everybody. The pres
ent agreement expires April I. which
is the beginning OF the new year in
the anthracite world. Last autumn
the miners formulated certain de-
mands which were later ratified by
the United Mine Workers in annual
convention and served upon the OPP
orators, who have just replied re-
jccting the demands. The miners
want the full recognition of the
union, two-year working agreement
rather than three-year agreement,
an eight-hour day and changes in the
methods of fixing wages. The OPP
orators refuse to recognize the union
on the ground that it would subject
the anthracite region TO the politics
of an organization absolutely con-
trolled from the outside" and rejoin
that the rights OF organized labor are
now fully protected in the anthracite
field, where only union workers are
employed. The two-year agreement.
it is claimed by the operators. would
threaten bi-yearly disturbance, and
is not justified by prospective rapid
changes in conditions warranting fire.
quent amendments OF the scale.
For decade and half this coun-
try has been periodically upset by
hard coal troubles. Ever since the
big strike OF 1902. when hard coal
mining was suspended for many
months until the country was on the
eve of fuel famine and the Presi-
dent interviewed to prevent grave
disaster, the relations between the
hard coal miners and operators have

the spaces between the curbs are used
in this manner accidents will con-
tinue. Parental admonitions appear to
have no effect upon many children,
whose natural impulse it seems to be
to run into the streets without heed
ing the condition of the traffic. These
deaths, which are so frequent, should
wildly teach the children a lesson
not to use the paved space of fro
quented streets as a playground and
not to hang on behind wagons when
roller skating.

The Loan Shark Law Amendment

The Commissioners favorable re-
port on the bill to increase the legal
rate of interest on unsecured small
loans in this District from I to per
cent a month should be followed by
prompt action in Congress. This
measure is one of urgent need. 1t
has been demonstrated to be impos-
sible to supply the needs of small
borrowers at the rate of interest fixed
by the so-called loan shark law en-
acted some time ago, and in con-
sequence those borrowers are driven
to patronize lenders who have gone
out of this jurisdiction into Virginia.
An increase of the rate will not i'm
pose great hardship upon the Dor
rowers. comparable with the service
rendered to them by we'll regulated
lending companies operating wholly
within the District. The object of
restricting the rate of interest is to
prevent the unjust practices and the
extortion of usurious lending. The
rate OF per cent a month on unse
cured loans has proved elsewhere to
be practicable, and with this amend
ment to the law it would be possible.
