Does a cabby or a taxi driver ever
try to overcharge a sober passenger?
Superintendent of Police Pullman
says that they do not. The Major
has been spending much time study
ing traffic conditions and motor car
and cab charges, and he has come
to the conclusion that if man can
walk. without wabbling, take a few
minis to kill his alcoholic breath, and
lose the thick tongue which at times
follows excessive imbibing, that he
may enter safely any kind of a pub
lie vehicle without asking the rate
per hour or per trip.
This information was impaired to
the inaugural committee by the ST.
perintendent OF Police.

only when a man Is drunk that the
cabbies and drivers of automobiles
try to take advantage of him. As q
rule, Washington owners and opera.
tors of public vehicles are fair and
square. Then again, the police keep
a close watch on violations of the
regulations by which the operators
are governed.
at has been a long time since a
sober man has complained Of being
overccharged or 'gouged.'"

WEAR cELLULoID COLLAPSE
Increase In Laundry Prices Re
sponsIbIe for Suggestion.

CelluIoid collars, the kind men can
wear year in and year out, and
cleanse with a moistened sponge,
threaten to become popular in all cir,
cles of society in Washington.
The reason for the threatened pop,
ularity and universal use of celluloid
collars is an increase in the price
of laundering OF linen collars.
Today 1t costs 3 cents to have a
linen collar washed, .starched and
ironed. Several weeks ago one or
two Washington laundries increased
the price from 2h to cents. and
now this scale is almost general
among the big laundries.
Economists and practical persons
pointed out today that after a man
had paid cents five times to have
his collar Iaundered, he has expended
the equivalent OF its value. In the
meantime, the collar has been
through the MILL" and Is beginning
to get frayed in front.

THERE WAS A REASON.

Reference at a dinner was made
to those who delight in adhering
to tirne-honored customs when Con-
gressman Allen T. Treadway, OF Mas
sachusetts, said he was reminded of
dear old lady in his home State.
For many years the old lady in
question had gone to the local drug
store. and asked for a particular al
manac. AT the beginning Of the pres
ent year she made her usual call, but
unfortunately the druggist had ex-
haustcd his supply of the kind she
wanted. Several brands we're offered.
but the old lady negatively shook her
head.
They won't do" she said. 'I
wanted the one l usually get on ac-
count Of the weather predictions.
But, madame" interposed the drug
gist, they all have weather predic-
tons"
Yes, I know" was the surprising
response Of the old lady. but the
one that 1 usually get always has
more finer days than the others

Kerensky and the BoIsheviki.

Perhaps the end of the long fight of Alexandra
Kerensky is at hand. Perhaps the imminence of the
German peril has brought light into the dim Slavic
revolutionary consciousness.
Moscow capital of the old Russia, is to be seated
in its ancient glory. Petrograd, nest of
Teuton intrigue, radating center of the Germanic
cast which dominated the bureaucracy and commercial
life of Russia since the days of Peter the Great is
to be abandoned at least temporarily The change
is for the better 1t should strengthen Kerensky's
hand; it should stimulate Russian pride; it should
make the lot of those who trying to make the
new republic stable and permanent trifle easier.
Russia wants peace by right but we will never
bow heads to force" declared Kerensky in open
ing the Russian preliminary parliament. Applause
him from all groups, except certain extremists
of the Bolsheviki or the radicals and Maximalsts.
This class is waning in influence The peasantry is
veering away from it. Even the Council of Soldiers
and Workmens Delegates is beginning to realize the
limitations of the policy they have been supporting 1t
begins to look like clean-cut triumph for Kerensky

"All Right Ee"
Why kings?

A great man said that if he could converse in
seventy languages that he would teach courtesy in
every one of them. He understood the keystone of
character He would cultivate those soul sparks which
make for optimism.
In childhood whenever a companion, not in himself
was bit grouchy his friends generally excused him
with the apt remark "He must have gotten out on the
wrong side of his bed"
just one tiny thoughtful acuon, single little cheer
word will start the day auspciousy for fellow gen.
Grating within him so hospitable friction as TO cause
him to truly radiate good humor
Bright good mornings" can hardly be beaten as
salutaton and wedge to amiabe conversation but prob
ably there is no other word in the English language
which could be used so universally as Joy logger
than that euphonious little phrase "All right ee"
1t may look trifle Chnesey when it simply stares
at you from cold paper but hear it interspersed in
bright conversaton-instead of the too popular and
categorical Il cants and Don't know hows" it ranks
with the highest also thought conveyor of rejoc-
ing acquiescence.

Justice and Mercy

For ofense trivial in character, yet too serious
for his superiors, who must maintain the dignity and
honor of the District to overlook Capt Schneider was
suspended from duty without pay.
The Commissioners have reopened the case on the
ground that officer of tweny-sx years unblemsed
reputation should have every opportunity to prove his
innocence
The Herald believes this course to be wise and kind
and it hopes that Capt Schneider will be fully exon
Grated When spends lifetime amid the sordid
side of life and through with 90 per cent char
acer is but just and least human to weigh his act
of dereliction in a friendly scale.
Big malefactors committing serious outrages Of
tending public honor, escape the punishment they de-
because friends of the law know its weak
Surely in a such as this the Golden Rule
which may not be good law but is fits there
fore all things whatsoever ye would that should
10 to you do ye to them; for this is the law
and the prophets"
In Capt. Schneider's would be disposed to
agree with those who believe that justice tempered
with mercy would satisfy the law. Let us remember
too, that other adage from the Good Book Strength
IS made perfect in weakness"
