from the chamber Of commerce Of a
California city said that one Washing.
ton hotel planned to charge $40 a day
and that another hotel wanted $1,000
for several rooms during the conven.
tion. Prompt investigation was made
and the accusation was found to be
baseless. The hotel which was said
to contemplate a charge Of $40 a day
has let its rooms to Shriners at IS a
day. which Is its usual charge, and II
was found that the charge Of $1,000
was for the accommodation OF fifty
persons for such a period as brought
the charge within the limit Of normal
prices.
Advance stories Of excessive charges
should be met with statement of
facts and the business interests and
citizens In general should be on guard
that there may be no tales Of gouging
carried home by the strangers. The
Shrine convention is to give the capital
a big bit Of publicity and all citizens
are interested that the publicity shall
be Of the right kind.
Throughout the United States Wash.
ington Is now the most talked.of city
In the Union. and It will be the most
talked.of city after the convention. We
want everybody to be happy and to
carry back home pleasant memories
Of Washington and Its people.

No Gouging,

The trade organizations Of Wash.

everybody In business In the District
Of Columbia, are on record as declaring
that there will be no proflteering dur
Ing Shrine week. All other civic asso-
Citations are heartily opposed to such
practices, which are against good
business, good manners and the rites
Of hospitality and which would bring
the name Of Washington into bad re.
pute.
The great body Of citizens insist that
visitors to the capital shall be treated
fairly and handsomely. There Is to
be no scalping of guests. The police
of the District and police from many
cities in the outlands are to be on
watch for pickpockets, cut.purses,
stick.up men, bandits and crooks in
general. The convention and carnival.

It may be that some stories Of prom.

Protests Robbery
OF Flower Beds

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS you are such a strong advocate
of Beautiful Washington and are
urging our good citizens to beautify
their front yards. 1 feel sure you will
sympathize with me in the shock I
had last night on my return home.
when my wife called my attention to
the robbery of the SNOWFALL bushes
in the front of my premises. The boys
who stole the blooms, which was bad
enough, pulled lots of the flowers
from the stems, casting same on the
ground and breaking the bush or
small tree SO 1t is most unsightly.
We have long since ceased planting
any flowers In the front yard, as they
are only a prey for flower thieves.
1t does seem there should be some
way this could be stopped, but with
our inadequate police force 1T seems
impossible. az no matter how vigilant
they may be these little vandals are
too shrewd to commit an overt act
when an officer is in sight.
1 blame the parents and those who
buy or receive flowers and plants
from children. who they should well
know did not come by them honestly.
The great trouble is regard for the
rights and property Of others Is
looked upon as a small matter, and
taking flowers or robbing fruit trees
s treated as a joke. and If citizen
does prosecute one he Is treated as a

Crops and Cold.

Reports Of crop damage from the re-
cent cold snap in the west are coming
in. with estimates running high into
the millions OF loss. This always fol-
lows a sudden spring fall in tempera-
ture. 1t Is the logical result. But II is
nevertheless to be remembered that
however heavy these spring losses
may be. on paper, the crops continue
to be good. Sometimes the fruit prod
uct Is somewhat lessened. Yet it Is to
be borne In mind that most OF the tree
fruit crop runs in alternate years. and
q failure" every other season is to be
reckoned upon as normal.
In certain cases, as the tree fruits.
the severe cold Is injurious only
when the fruit Is in certain state OF
bud. After the "set" occurs there is
little danger. An early or middle April
frost may do immense damage to the
apples and peaches. while q mid.May
frost will not destroy them. In the
case of vegetables 1t is always pos
sible to replant II the cold has killed
means loss In seeds and time. and It
also means 4 late market. But there Is
not necessarily a material lessening
Of the supply for the consumers.
Scarcely a year passes without one
or more Of these crop killers" And
despite them all the country continues
to increase in prosperity. These are
trifiing setbacks compared with the
real devastations that occur in some
other lands. American agriculture is
so widely varied, and there is such an
immense range Of territory and cli-
mate, that famine.making conditions
do not develop here on a scale to men,
ace the people with want. This Is a
wonderfully favored land.
