The Patient People

How patient are the people !
Their patience rings the bell; its
higher than steeple, and deeper
than a we'll. They hear pro-Ger-
man praters uplift their ears and
bray; they see potential traitors
around them every day. In other
lands such critters would back
against wall, and there they'd
take their bitters-some buck
shot in their gall. But we've a
sense of humor, and we have
merely laughed at treason's noisy
boomer and kultur's vicious graft.
But patience, though elastic, will
break, is stretched too far, and
now some measures drastic the
people taking are. Oh, now and
then some fellow who fails to do
his bit is painted lemon yellow
and told to hit the grit. And now
and then some Stacker, who wears
his face ajar, some cheap pro-Ger-
man clacker, receives coat of tar.
The patience of the people is
mighty hard to break; it's higher
than a steeple and wider than a
lake, but it's been sorely tested,
and when it breaks away, it can
not be arrested by any mortal jay.
So let the fools take warning
while now the signs they see, or
they may be adjoining a lamppost
or a tree. WALT MASON.

The elimination Of the German
language from the public schools and

ed at the stated meeting Of the Sons
Of the Revolution held last night at the

speakership and senatorship.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In view Of Speaker Clark's recent ac-
ton in declining the appointment Of
senator rendered by the Governor Of
Missouri, the following extract from
the Speakers autobiography now rum
ming throuph New York magazine
(Hearst's) referring to Speaker Crisp's
action under very similar circumstances
should be of interest. The quotation is
from the April installment Of the
Speakers story and is found in connec-
ton with his discussion of the relative
merits Of Thomas B. Reed and Charles
F. Crisp, both Of whom, at different
times, occupied the Speakers chair
soon after Clark entered Congress. Mr..
Clark says:
Speaker Crisp demonstrated his pa
triotic sense of duty by declining q
United States senatorshfp for an unex-
pired term when 1t was rendered him
by the Governor Of Georgia. It was
certainly a tempting of the realization
of his ambition. but because he thought
that he could be Of more service in the
Speakers chair, with self abnegation
rare among men he refused the exalted
honor. which action doubled his infiu-
ence in the House: 1t is pleasant to
remember that after his career as
Speaker ended he was nominated by
the Georgia democrats for a full term
in the Senate" THOS. F. DAWSON.

HOUSE MORATORIUM
FOR WAR PROPOSED.
Rent Bill to Be Amended to
Govern Sales Effecting
Ousting Of Tenant. 4,
PENALTIES ARE PROVIDED

The Senate District subcommittee In
charge of the Johnson rent profiteering
bill is engaged in framing an amend
ment which, 1T hopes. will effectuaily
put an end to "colored sales" for profit
eering purposes of houses now under
lease as dwellings in the District OF
Columbia.
The plan is in effect to establish
kind of moratorium. SO far as tenants
are concerned, during the war by pro-
viding that a tenant shall not be ousted
to sell the roof over his head. unless
the purchaser proposes to occupy the
house himself as q dwelling.
Rule Governing Sales.
In other words, II a landlord informs
his tenant that he must purchase the
house he is leasing or get out, the land
lord will be compelled either to use the
house himself for dwelling or to sell
IT to some one else who intends to &C.
cupy it as a dwelling.
Members of the committee have
learned OF the many notices that nave
been issued to tenants that they must
They intend to stop this method Of
prohteering if they can, and they be-
iieve they have found the remedy.
Under the amendment proposed,
landlord will be able to sell the dwell
ing. but only with the understanding
that the tenant be permitted to remain
throughout the existence of the war il
ne desires. or with the understanding
trat the purchaser is himself to occupy
the house as a dwelling. He will be
unable to sell the house to another
person who in turn proposes to lease
the house, and he will be unable to
GUST the present tenant, unless the
tenant fails to pay the rent or mis-
behaves himself and place another
tenant in the house.
