Bad Checks in Washington.

Difference of opinion has been ex-
pressed by representatives of the law
and business men regarding the need
Of additional legislation to curb the
bad check evil in this city. The dis
trict attorney and the chief q de-
tcctives declare that the existing laws
are adequate. Bankers and business
men urge that a more stringent statute
be enacted to afford them further pro-
lection against check raisers and bad
check passers.
Check-raising is now punishable as
a crime. Also forgery Of signature.
The question at issue is whether the
law against false pretenses suffices to
of a bad check, not one that is forged
or raised, but one that calls for money
when there is no such account in bank,
or when the funds in bank are in
adequate. 1t is contended that dras
u
man who draws bad check in in
nocence. AT the same time it. is held
that the present law is sufficient if the
intent to defraud is proved.
Check passing is said to be excep-
tionally easy here in Washington. Ac-
cording to some who spoke at a meet
ing just held this city is the "easi-
est mark" in the United States for bad
check swindlers. The cure would
seem to be up to the merchants and
bankers, especially the former. They
can stiffen their rules against cash
ing checks for goods sold or for &C.
commodation of customers. In the
case of sales goods may be held from
delivery until the check is found to
be good. In the case of accommoda-
ton Identification is not an unrea-
sonable requirement and the tele-
phone permits easy communication
with banks to ascertain credits and
standings there.
Much of this trouble arises from
generous spirit of accommodation.
may be "easy" for the
bad -check swindlers, but the cause is
not to the city's discredit, however it
may work to its loss. Whether with
a new law or with the present statutes,
there should be system of safeguards
against fraud and loss that will de-
prive no honest person of accommoda-
ton and no merchant of trade.

A Community Farm.

A project is under way for the cs-
tablishment of community farm in
the suburbs of the capital, to be
owned and run by citizens of Wash
ington with view to the reduction
of the cost of living. A business plan
has been formed and stock has been
offered to, the people, on a scale of
payments that will enable great
number to take advantage of the OPP
portunity. 1t is hoped and expected
that this farm will yield garden crops
and dairy products to furnish cheap
food to those who are entitled by their
ownership holdings to share of the
proceeds. 1t will not be a money
making enterprise in the ordinary
sense, but rather a money saving plan.
If this project succeeds other com
munity farms may be established and
possibly Washington will soon solve
the high cost problem as far as table
necessities are concerned. The en-
terprise is worthy of full support.

suggestion that the President may sur
prise the country by going outside Of
his party for one or other of the two
men he needs. The argument ad-
vanced is that now would be good
time for the President to broaden his
appeal to the country.
The better Judgment. however. is
that the President is not built that
way; that he will go on to the end
his own party; that he desires none
but democrats near him, and that they
shall be in perfect sympathy with all
of his purposes as his party's leader.
Nor is it regarded as likely that any
republican measuring up to either of
the posts mentioned would consent to
associate himself in that way with a
democratic administration now within
little more than a year of its end.
The general hope is to see selected
two men well known to and highly
respected by both the political world
and the business world, who will be
an assurance to the country at a time
when unrest and anxiety are wide
spread, and when every influence
should be exerted toward allaying APP
prehension and steadying things that
are badly shaken.

A fire occurred this morning in a
section of the city where conditions
make the fire menace most dangerous
and most dreaded, the scene of nu-
merous blazes in the past, some of
them disastrous. So quick was the re-
Spouse of the fire department and so
effective its work when it got into
action that the flames, which had a
menacing start, were speedily quench-
ed, and what might with less efficient
work have been wide-spreading and
costly fire was kept within the minor

The Wealth of the Circus.

An interesting example of the merg-
ing of wealth is brought to attention
by the will of the late Aft. T. Ringing.
To his son Richard T. Ringing is be-
queathed the one-fourth interest held
by his father in the Ringing Brothers,
Barnum and Bailey and Adam Fore
paugh's shows. Each of these firm
names once represented competition in
the realms of tented amusement. AS
Dan Rice, prince of circus clowns, made
his final stand for individual domi-
nance in the sawdust arena his pres
tige gave way to the greater organiza-
tons and even p T. Barnum, whose
remark, "The public loves to be hum
bugged,' became an aphorism, linked
his fortunes with other enterprises that
would insure three rings where only
one had been before. Sells Brothers
and stalwart old John Robinson leave
little trace in modern circus enterprise.
Where there might have been half a
dozen circuses expected through the
summer, even the larger communities
must be content with two. But these
will be colossal, and the name "Ring-
ling once comparatively obscure, is
a potential factor in reputation as well
as in profits.

The Cabinet Vacancies.

Two cabinet places are to be filled
the secretaryship of the Treasury and
the secretaryship of Commerce. I'm
portant at all times, they are particu-
larly important at this time.
The burdens of the Treasury De
partment are very much heavier than
ever before. Business in more va
riety and in far greater volume
than ever before is presented for at
tention, and must be promptly trans
acted. War has piled the public debt
and taxes pretty high. A revision of
the tariff is among the things falling
due, and when accomplished will go
to the Treasury Department for in
depreciation and execution. These are
but few items taken from list
showing that the financial adviser of
the government at this time has work
in plenty to do, and needs equipment
in plenty to do il we'll.
Something of the same thing may
be said of the Department of Com
merce. Its business has increased in
variety and volume until the proper
lions and Importance of it all could
not easily be exaggerated. Commerce,
as The Star has once or twice said, is
now king. We are expecting from
that source great aid in our plans to
push America still further to the front
in the new path upon which we have
entered. Both our domestic and our
foreign commerce should, and must
have highly intelligent cultivation and
direction if we are to realize upon
our wishes and purposes. Hence it is
plain that the successor of Mr.. Red
field will have his hands full, and
should be well equipped in every way
for commission which will tax him
mentally and physically to the ut
most.
There is probably nothing in thu
