should be checked much more prompt
ly than at the tenth offense.
The taking of collateral is simply
system Of minor fines imposed at the
police stations with little or no regard
to the record Of the defendants. There
is no fixed standard Of punishments.
Collateral is sometimes increased in
the very process Of imposition because
of the attitude Of the arrested person
toward the police. In short. in some
cases the rule breaker is actually fined
for contempt of court" when in truth
there is no court.
If the law is written to be enforced
every violation of it should reach a
court. Collateral should be taken only
to insure the presence Of the accused
in court, as a measure Of convenience
to the accused and not as means Of
escaping with a trifling penalty.
Under the present system it would
be great hardship to compe. every
person arrested for a traffic violation
to go to Police Court. with its delays
and Inconvenience. The traffic court
is, therefore, required in the interest
Of better administration of the public
security rules. With a traffic court
in action. with all the records OF ar.
rests and punishments Immediately
available for consultation, no one could
get by with nine forfeitures, and Ger.
tainly no one should get by with a
trifiing fine in the tenth case.

Democrats and Protection,

lana.
These votes were ali logically cast
for q measure carrying protection to
the industries Of the constituencies of
the voters. Pennsylvania owes a great
deal to protection. as Samuel ]. Ran
dali, an eminent democrat, often con-
fessed.
California owes much. Her citrous
fruits and other interests always ask
to be remembered, and are remember
ed, when the tariff is being revised
on protection lines.
Louisiana is deeply in debt to the
policy Of protection. Her principal
staple. sugar, could not live without
it. If the late Samuel D. McEnery
were a member Of the Senate now he
would vote as the few representatives
from the Pelican state did Thursday.
Asking protection for sugar, he would
grant it to the interests of other states
seeking it.
1t Is q matter of conviction. Men
who believe in protection, and have
observed its effects on the industries
Of America. whether any Of those in
dustries are located in their states or
not, can afford to support protective
tariff measure, even when brought for
ward by the opposition party.
On the other hand, Of course, men
who do not believe in protection, and
would be glad to see the country go
on an anti-prOtection tack, are justi-
fled in resisting all efforts to apply
protection directly and substantially
to the deserving interests of the coun-
try, regardless of character or locality.

The New York Myth.

Many a New Yorker is proud of
being in New Yerk-as he has a
right to be-and even considers that
his place of residence is sort of
triumph. And certainly. if he sue

tinction to have succeeded in Man

Potomac Park Motoring.

Potomac Park is the popular drive
way in Washington. Winter and sum
mer, day and night, it is frequented
Sometimes in the hot weather in the
evening it is packed with vehicles. Its
roads are filled practically with con.
tinuous streams of motor cars. So
heavy is the traffic, indeed, that nov
new rules have had to be framed to
reduce the congestion and insure
safety. The one-way rule is applied
around the polo grounds and in front
of the bathing beach, as has already
been prescribed in the long drive
around the eastern section below the
bridges. Most of this traffic uses the
tidal inlet bridge between the polo
field and the Highway bridge. 1t is
curved to grade considerably above
the park level and from each side it
is approached from an angle. Care
full driving is especially necessary at
s11D point. The bridge is wide enough
for tEo streams of traffic, but without
much tpargin. AS a matter Of fact, it
should - wider and the approaches
should be Strengthened somewhat. This
would involve some reconstruction Of
the bridge itself and an alteration in
the park levels on both sides. Con.
sideration of these possible changes is
suggested, in the interest of greater
public safety. Accidents in Potomac
Park have been comparatively few,
considering the immense volume Of the
traffic. But every condition making
possible for mishap should be correct
ed in advance. The best precaution
against disaster is that which is taken
before the disaster comes, not after.

Long Jim Barnes.

The door has opened to Long Jim
Barnes. For nine protracted. fruitless
years he has been knocking thereat.
Time and again it has been held ajar
for him only to be slammed in his face
as he stepped forward to cross the
threshold. But Jim, a clover drop
ping from the corner Of mouth at
once humorous and grim. has always
come back. He is long on other things
than pair Of loose -jOinted, attenuated
legs-is Jim. He is long on persist.
ency, long on courage. long on that
modest belief in himself which is the
fundamental characteristic of any in.
herent champion. So he came back
this year and knocked again. And
the door opened. And Jim, grown wise
in the nine years Of his quest. placed
a big. solid foot across the sill that it
might stay that way, and leaned his
muscular shoulder to the final effort.
He pushed once, and again and again
and the door swung wide. So he en-
tered into his own-intO the exclusive
hall Of supreme golfing fame.
There is no golfing fan in America
or elsewhere. for the matter of that
who will not rejoice with the new
champion in the achievement of his
life's ambition. Against the finest field
ever assembled for the classic of Amer
lean golf; over a course as hazardous
as any upon which the championship
has ever been played; under the strain
Of conditions which were proving the
downfall Of opponents of indubitable
courage and brilliancy, he held his
stride. That stride took him into the
lead from the barrier. 1t held him
there while great golfers, one after
another, pressed forward to make their
bid. only to fall back under the cruel.
ing pace. 1t carried him across the
finish line with an unprecedented lead
over his nearest competitors. The
Barnes stride was as that of Man
O. War.
So another cup comes home. Wash
ington, at the gates of which the tour
nament was held. is more than proud
Of that fact. For Jim Barnes, it's
bearer, opened more than the door to
the achievement of his ambition in his
visit here. A splendid sportsman, a
gallant fighter. true champion,
there was opened to him, as he knock.
ed at that other threshold, the door
to the hearts Of Washingtonians.
That door will ever be open to him.
