Protests "Killing"
Of Clay Pigeons

Boston, March Moved to pity at
the spectacle of f1ocks of birds being
slaughtered by q score of men, who
blazed away at them with shotguns
time and again, several women resi-
dents of The Fay, a sparsely settled,
wooded section of Lynn near the Sa-
lem line, telephoned to the police yes
terday afternoon and demanded that
they put a stop to the 'inhuman'
sport.
Patrolman Cannon was sent to in
vestigate the affair. He found that
the sportsmen were indeed taking a
heavy toll OF birds, but the birds
weren't minding 1t bit. being made
OF clay. They promised that in the
future they will confine their shoots
to the shooting trap on the Lynn
marshes.

young persons, would on that day get
their first glimpse Of these outstanding
young Americans, view calculated
to be of patriotic value.
There will be no inaugural ball, bril-
liant with the uniforms of visiting
corps This, perhaps, is as well, for
with the growth of Washington and
the development of the motor car
travel probably no structure could be
found here that would be both ade-
quate and appropriate. Such an af-
fair never was really a ball, anyhow;
it was more of promenade except
that one could not promenade by rea-
son of the crush. There almost GER

of those who like to dance, who want
somewhere to go and to take their
guests, be duplication Of the highly
successful charity ball of four years

outstanding social event of the season.
and for this plan Washington and
towns large and small in every part
of the country should alike be CRATE
full.
A tip to local householders with
hospitable hearts and spare rooms:
Invite inaugural guests early. They
will have some anyhow, and they
might as we'll get those they like best.

The Future of the Philippines
By FRANCIS B. LOOMS.

other tribes. Between many OF these
tribes there exist historical feuds and
hatreds. It is estimated that among
the 100000 people inhabiting the
Philippine Islands not more than
400, 600 copies of newspapers a day
are circulated, and probably not more
than one million people out OF the
entire population have any idea what
Is going on in the world.
There are nearly a million pupils
enrolled in the Philippine public
attendance; so per cent leave after
the primary course and 40 per cent of
the balance are out of attendance all
the time.
Public Sentiment Weak.
Furthermore. what we call educated
and enlightened public sentiment does
not exist among even respectable
minority OF the people. What passes
in the islands for public sentiment is
really opinion manufactured at g.
price by political Cliques in Manila
and some of the large towns and
provinces.
We need not, therefore, be greatly
concerned with what is called public c
opinion in the Philippine Islands on
the subject OF independence. The Fill
pinos are suffering from an excess Of
selfish, pernicious activity on the part
of professional politicians. This is the
root Of their troubles. What they
now need is SO to improve conditions
that a majority of the people may
| acquire enough intelligence to under
stand their true and worth-whi
friends are to be found among the
thoughtful people of the United
States and among those American Of
ficials who have devoted, unselfshly
and gladly, SO much of their time and
talent and physical we'll being to the
regeneration of the islands and their
people.

Secretary Slemp'S Retirement

Retirement of c. Bascom Slemp
from the executive offices as secretary
to the President will be an occasion
of regret to those who have dealings
at the executive offices. for in his
nearly IS months Of duty there he has
rendered most helpful services. Mr..
Slemp was chosen for his post as the
Presidents aide largely on account of
his familiarity with congressional pro.
cedure and the personnel of the Iegis-
lative body. He was an effective me.
dunn of communication between the
President and Congress. He was of
material service politically in the pre-
convention campaign and in the ma
tiOnal canvass.
Mr.. Slemp will remain in Washing
ton, though retaining his political resi-
denCe in Virginia, entering the prac.
tiCe of law here. Thus he will be still
in touch with his host of friends at
the Capital, where he has lived in an
official capacity for years.

A Corrective Penalty Needed.

In drafting the proposed new traffic
law for Washington the District COM
mittees in Congress would do well to
consider the adoption Of penalties for
the graver offenses against the regu-
lations, such as driving while drunk
and running away after collid-
ing, IN terms of Imprisonment
without the alternative of fines. A
straight Jail sentence is far more
effective than a money penalty. In
most cases at present offenders have
the alternative of paying cash or go
ing to prison, and whenever they are
financially able to do so they choose
the former. A fine that is paid is
soon forgotten. A Jail term Is never
forgotten.
Under the present system Of alterna-
tive punishments only those who are
unable to pay go to Jail in expiation
of an offense. The more affiuent Of
tenders escape with a penalty that
is relatively light. This is in effect a
discrimination. II is virtually the
same as forfeiture of collateral on a
larger scale.
There is no assured corrective in a
fine. The habitual rule breaker is apt
to continue his practice of speeding
or reckless driving when he has left
cash with the clerk of the court. He
is free to continue his dangerous use
of the streets, whereas the offender
who has been jailed is for 80 or 60
or more days out OF commission, so
TO speak. No more trouble Is to be
apprehended from him for a period.
Penalties should be viewed as cor.
receives, not simply as punishments.
The test Of the matter comes in terms
of effectiveness. A daily recital in
the reports Of Traffic Court proceed
ings of fines imposed clearly carries
no effective admonition to the driving
public, else there would be a diminu-
ton of Traffic Court work.

Snow Cleaning Money.

AT conference between the Dis
trlct Commissioners and business
leaders of the city yesterday a pro-
posal was approved to urge Congress
To make an annual appropriation of
at least 100000 TO provide means for
the removal Of future heavy snowfalIs
in the streets Of Washington. With
such a fund available at the begin
ing Of each Winter the Commissioners
would be in position to make an eff
fective clearance of at least the main
streets of the city, however severe the
storm. But the fund so provided
should not be strictly limited to the
amount proposed. It should be in the
nature Of a revolving fund. starting
with 100000 and maintained at that
amount throughout each Winter by
additional appropriations to supply
the drafts made upon ii from time to
time. In other words, the Commits
sioners should have an assured credit
OF that amount of money az all times
during the period of possible snow
fall to be in a position to attack any
storm that might occur.
Congress IS in session throughout
the normal period of possible snow in
Washington. Heavy falls of snow
have occurred in March, but they are
rare, and if the revolving fund were
strictly maintained. even at a short
session, ending on the 4th Of March,
means would be available to cope with
an extraordinary visitation, such as
that of the Taft inauguration period
of 1909.
Appropriation of a small sum solely
for snow cleaning is inadequate. In
clusion OF the snow money in the gen
eral fund for street cleaning has
proved, likewise, TO be an unwise pro
cedure. There should be a definite
separate allowance for cleaning the
streets of snow and for no other pur-
pose, large enough to care for the
heaviest fall at any one time, and al
ways maintained throughout the ses-
sion, which is the snow season, by re
Placements as drafts are made upon
the credit in the Treasury.
The recent experience of the Capital
with a snowfall which found the Com
missioners unprepared because they
were not assured of the propriety of
using an extraordinary amount Of
street-cleaning money for snow-re-
movai purposes should not be repeat
ed. Their authority to use the snow
removal funds should be made definite
and explicit, and the funds themselves
should be ample 10 meet all emer-
genCies at all times

Mr.. Hoover's Declination.

The value of Herbert Hoover as an
administrative officer of the Govern
ment is demonstrated anew by the
offer to him by President Coolidge
Of the office Of Secretary of Agricul-
ture, which he has declined The
Presidents tender of the office was a
compliment to Mr.. Hoover's capacity
as executive, and particularly his
ability as an organizer. Though not a
farmer, he has closely studied the
agricultural problem, which he con-
Ceives to be one Of distribution and
marketing rather than soil culture
and tillage. That he would render a
capacity Of Secretary to effect the or
ganiZation of a more scientific and
economic marketing system is as
sured. But Mr.. Hoover has concluded,
wisely, it would seem, that his true
field Of operation is the Department
Of Commerce, at the head OF which
he has served four years, and where
he has worked out highly important
results fer the benefit OF American in
dustries and business. and where he
still has service to render along the
same lines.
When recently it was announced
that Mr.. Hoover would continue in
the cabinet of Mr.. Coolidge after
March there was a general feeling
Of qualification. He has sacrificed
greatly in accepting Office. He has
been now engaged in the public serv-
ice during war time and peace time
for more than 10 years, at an immense
pecuniary loss to himself and at the
cost of unremitting labor in the most
difficult conditions, for a large part Of
the time without any compensation.
He is inspired by zeal Of duty, and he
now feels that his most useful line of
occupation is in the department in
which he is at present serving, where
opportunities offer for contributing
constructively to the welfare of the
people.

troops stationed within easy travelling

ways better, although the presence OF
