in the prosperity revival in this coun-
try. He tells the voters that the high
rates have hurt the farmers Of the

John D. Cuts Dividends.

John d. Rockefeller is eighty-four
years old. Yesterday he celebrated his
birthday anniversary by going to
church and by greeting number OF
youngsters there, to whom he gave
fifteen brand.new, shiny nickels. Last
year he carried a stock of new dimes
which he gave to the children who of
fered their birthday greetings. Yester,
day he offered no explanation of the
lowering of the rate.
John D.-he will probably be known
by the abbreviated title long after he
has passed away-is not parsimonious
He has given away an enormous
amount OF cash, in various forms
mainly through his foundation, .
which conducts organized benefac
tions. But in personal bounty he is
somewhat shy of performance. He
does not like to appear publicly as a
bestower Of gifts.
1t may be that John D. thinks that

aged to extend their hands to the very
rich on their birthdays in the hope
of receiving largess. Possibly he
realizes that he erred when he gave
away the dimes a year ago. and has
concluded to taper off. Perhaps he
will give bright new pennies another
year, and then quit.

Needless Noises.

Washington Is cursed with an cpl
demic of noise. In many parts of the
city the traffic roars without stint un-
til the ears of the people are deadened
and nerves are frayed. This is not
only in the business quarter, but in
the residential section. Bad car tracks,
with sunken joints, cause constant
banging as the cars pass, a single car
often making four and six crashes
that can be heard within the houses
with all doors and windows closed.
Motor trucks are speeded through the
streets with the muffiers cut out, pop
ping and decorating like machine
guns. Little heed Is paid to regula-
tions on this score, and 1t would seem
that the rule for the suppression OF
needless noise in the driving Of ma
chimes has been wholly forgotten by
both the drivers and the police.
There is no valid excuse for these
noises. Bad car tracks can and should
be fixed. No plea Of poverty on the
| part Of the railway companies should
be accepted to justify neglect. A track
so out of repair as to cause the pas
sage of a car to sound like a battle is
not a safe track, and an unsafe track
should receive the attention OF the
Utilities Commission promptly. But
seemingly this is a matter that re-
ceives little consideration. The ques-
ton arises whether there is any sort
of inspection by the commission s
agents over such matters. Or is the
initiation of track repair left to the
companies? Or possibly is the public,
after weary endurance Of painful con-
ditions. relied upon TO make complaint
and call for changes? 1t would seem
that the people. whether from lack OF
law or lack of official or company in
itiative, have to stand the burden Of
the nuisance.
AS for the motor traffic noise there
! is no occasion for continued suffering.
Only a few endorsements of the rule
against needless motor banging would
be required to set the drivers Of the
city straight. Employers should be
| warned against the hiring Of habitual
| rule breakers.
Washington was once a delightfully."-
quiet city. 1t has become a bedlam.
And the reason for the change lies in
slackness Of the enforcement Of rules.
The people who are compelled to live
within the urban section would be
gratified to know whether there is any
reason why these rules are not car
ried Into effect.

Slight Errors Noted.
Recent Story of Lincoln's Assas
sination Is Corrected.
70 the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In recent issue OF The Star
about June 1--you published q letter
from Mrs. Struthers containing an in
accuracy regarding Lincoln's assassi-
nation. 1 sent this Star to Capt Ira
Harris, whose sister. Clara, was a
guest in the presidential box the
night Lincoln was shot. Miss Harris
fance was the Presidents aide, Maj.
Henry Rathbone. The following is
quoted from the reply Of Capt Harris
to me:
"Just q line to thank you for The
Washington Star with Mrs. Struthers'
letter about tho Lincoln relics. Her
statement Of facts is correct in the
main. but wrong in saying that Booth
slashed Mr.. Withers instead of Henry
Rathbone, and that Laura Keene took
Mr.. Lincoln's head in her lap. That
was done by my sister. Miss Keene
came to the front of the box and
asked what she could do and Clara
said. Get him q glass of water. Miss
Keene did that, but IL was OF no use

the above corrections and prevent
these errors creeping into some pos
sible version of future history.

The Minnesota Campaign

A week from today the voters of
Minnesota will cast their ballots for
United States senator to succeed the
late knute Nelson. The race lies be-
tween Gov. Preus, republican, and
Magnus johnson, farmer -laborite. The
democratic candidate. it is believed,
has no chance, as the state is over
whelmingly republican, and the farm
er labor ranks are recruited from those
of the republican party. Not even a
division of the republican votes be-
tween the regular and farm-labor
tickets can conceivably cause the cleo
ton of a democrat.
This contest is really between the
conservative and radical elements of
Minnesota. That state has never gone
SO far toward radicalism as has Wis
consin. which neighbors it on the east,
or as have the Dakotas, which adjoin
it on the west. But it has felt the in
f1uence of forces which affect those
other states. Just at present an inter.
esting phenomenon Is presented, with
radical speakers ITOIIl DOll SUES Cross
ing the line to address the Minnesota
voters, the chief of whom is Senator
La Toilette. He is working tooth and
nail for Magnus johnson, even as he
cast his influence in the Minnesota
election last year for shipstead for
senator and in Iowa for Brookhart.
The replacement Of Knute Nelson by
Magnus Johnson would add materially
to the strength Of the farm bloc in the
Senate. and would lower the regular
republican margin. For this reason
the fight is being vigorously conducted
on both sides.
Hope for regular republican vic
tory is based upon the belief that the
farmers Of the state, now more pros.
porous than they We're, will not care
to be led by La Toilette to put a Sec
ond senator tn Office who Is outside Of
