Auto Reciprocity.

ACK of reciprocity agreement between the
l. District of Columbia and Maryland is ev-
eryone agrees nuisance for autoists on both sides
of the line {
Doubtless Maryland has had some good reasons
for her attitude in the past. 1t has proved an in
justice on District people. But the neighboring
State has its own citizens to consider first. Her
government owes nothing to residents Of the Ma
tional Capital. She cannot be expected to pay un-
usual sums for road repairs the benefits of which
will be enjoyed almost entirely by Washingtonans.
Nevertheless the system is irritating. 1t has
made the District line prison wall for many auto
mobile owners of this city.
Both the people of Washington and of nearby
Maryland will rejoice know that the end of this
condition is in sight 1t has been difficult to find
common ground for negotiations. This, it seems,
has been found at last in the proposition of gaso
line tax
This arrangement will not be ideal. 1t will
cause some inconvenience. Washington business
men whose trucks seldom cross the line will have
reason to complain. But if it will bring about reci-
procty let US have the gasoline tax at once No
other way seems available.
Free access to Maryland roads will mean much
to D. c. automobile owners. Some of the finest
stretches of farming country rich in natural scenery
and historic atmosphere lie at the gates of the city
Yet they cannot be enjoyed without submitting to
the bothersome and expensive process Of obtain
ing Maryland license.
The present situation is far from fair to Mary
land residents in nearby towns who go back and
forth to Washington, where they employed
every day in the week. 1t forces them to the ad-
ditional expense of securing two licenses merely to
cover the few miles leading to their homes. 1t is
not fair to drivers of pleasure who must turn
around they reach the border line.
True. the gasoline tax might be as expensive
Maryland license for District people. But the
outlay would not be noticed and the payments
would be simpler. On the whole it looks like
popular move. We have no doubt but that the
referendum being taken by the local office OF the
American Automobile Association will return
heavy vote in favor of bringing about reciprocity

however they united in indignation.
The state church of Great Britain, with the
Congregatonaist, Baptist, Presbyterian and Meth
odist bodies, this week sent a telegram of protest
to Premier Lenn because of the treatment he has
accorded the venerable churchman to whom no
small part of Christendom bows as to a supreme
authority: At the same time Cardinal Gasparr,
papal secretary of state telegraphed the arch
bishop of Canterbury that Pope Plus was making
representations of the order. The Armenian
Bulgarian and Rumanian patriarchs already have
protested.
The churches realize that the spread of Bolshe-
vism is much threat against Christianity as the
spread of Mohammedanism. The same bigotry in
spires its ministers and missionaries. 1t holds forth
to its converts much the sort of gilded prom
ises. When the power of Islam first began its
sweep west it met united Christianity. The days
of church division had not come. The new faith
met as fervent people as themselves AS result
they never reached much beyond the eastern and
southern shores of the Mediterranean.
The new invasion comes at another and differ

There is division everywhere. The followers of
Lenin may expect that, with such conditions pre-
vailing, they smash through the defenses But
they will behold miracle. There may be no Wis
ible cross of fire in the skies There may be no
angels in white armor to lead the opposing hosts
But all Christian faiths will unite to fight COM
mon danger
Boshevism is, in many respects the antithesis
OF Christianity. 1t is faith inspired by new
and false prophets.
Christianity must meet its inroads with united
front its sacred shrines pass forever into the
hands of infidels and Knockers There is no evil
denee that the churches propose to allow any such
condition without battle to the last bitches

ideas Of Western civilization. They want to return
to the old Celestial Empire with its kites and fire.
crackers, its opium and its sleep. They are weary
of the struggle involved in the nations emergence
from mediaevalism.
1t is to be hoped that this movement does not
gain any real headway. But that it should exist
might have been expected Boxer sentiment is
not confined to China alone. Even in the United
States there increasing evidences Of it-more
bigotry, more impatience of reform, more love of
darkness and blinking at light
America and Europe will be less entitled to in
terfere with China again if her forces of reaction
gain the upper hand.
The world has had high hopes for the great
nation Of the Far East. She seems for a number
of years to have accepted the light from the West
without question and to have groped along in its
path to the best of her ability. Some progress
has been made. Most Of modern civilization has
been duplicated to degree in the great cities
and plains where her dense population lives.
Politically, it is true, she has made scant progress.
Her government has been chaotic most of the
time.
But on the whole the Chinese have appeared
satisfied with their awakening. They have had
scant inclination to sink into feather bed again
and pull the blankets over their eyes. But now they
are tired Not only have they passed through a
great world war, but have suffered from little civil
which have brought no final results either
for good evil.
The people have, perhaps, wondered at the
reason for their misfortunes. Why are the great
gods angry? Never better opportunity both
for radicals and reactionaries. Along comes the
inheritors of Boxer traditions with a cureall for
the country's troubles. Everybody was happy
before strangers from the West came and reused
them from their long maps. Why not go to sleep
again. tired people, regardless of the extent of
their intelligence, eager to follow such a sug-
gestion.

Release of Prisoners.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Damn the man that won't fight for
his country" Some years ago the
Confederate veterans held a reunion
here In Washington. In their parade
along Pennsylvania avenue the vet
Grams carried a tattered banner with
the above device emblazoned on Il:
Damn the man that won't fight for
his country" This banner all along
the march was loudly acclaimed by
the thousands of men. women and
children that lined the Avenue.
1t appealed to their patriotism
their lover OF country which was
greeted with hearty response
These reflections are called forth
by the following press dispatch IN
one Of the city's papers: Fifty or
more men, and women of note will
gather here in July to present to
President Harding the mammoth petit
tion for general amnesty. circulated
in hundreds OF cities. The petition
will voice the appeal OF approximately
100000 persons for the release of
the 100 war-opinion prisoners stiTl re-
naming in Federal penitentiaries. {"
These prisoners were traitors and
should feel grateful to the govern
ment that their fate has been i'm
prisonment rather than punishment
by death.
Their sympathizers-man Of whom
no doubt held TO the same opinions
are extrting themselves for their re-
leasel In a bad cause-for there
appears to be no mitigating circum-
stances TO be urged I'm their behalf
these petitioners resort to reprehensi-
be methods to influence the President
by sending little children to plead
with him by exciting his sympathy
maybe contrary to his sense Of duty.
Every right thinking person will
approve Of his refusal to see them.
Let them take their punishment
and thank God that they are still
living.
As matter Of fact. what is such
petition worth? The same number
no doubt could just as easily have
been obtained to execute them.
