Baron de Cartier de Marchienne.

To the keen regret of the people of
this country, and especially Of his
many warm friends in Washington,
Baron de Cartier de Marchienne, Bel
gian Ambassador to the United States,
will soon leave this post for London,
ferred in the course of diplomatic
changes of station. Baron de Cartier
came to Washington in 1917 as Min
lister. Two years later he was made
Amba ssador, in consonance with the
change in rank of the representation
at Washington. He has been for
some years the dean Of the diplomatic
corps here. Irrespective Of this prior
ity, however, Baron de Cartier has
won for himself a the highest position
in the esteem of the people Of America
and especially in those in Washington
with whom he has become acquainted
personally and officially. He has from
the outset of his service at this cap
ital manifested the fullest understand
ing OF the AIileTlCdH pcOIIIc. ne ile1o
shown sincere sympathy with them,
and in all of his actions he has served
to promote good will between the two
nations. Exceptionally gifted in per-
sonal qualifications, and at all times
and in all situations most effectively
aided by Baroness de Cartier, whose
charm has won the hearts of all, the
representative of Belgium has been a
powerful factor in cementing the
friendship between the Belgian and
the American peoples. Now that he Is
going to London, to another sphere of
service, he will bear with him the
best wishes Of all with whom he has
been associated here, who, though de-
ploring the occasion of his transfer,
recognize that his talents are fully
measured by his own government,
which is by this new assignment to
duty showing its appreciation of his
abilities and his services.

Widen the Street Space
And Yet Save the Trees
To the Editor of Tho Star

To the Editor of The Star:
have read with great interest the
letters of your correspondents deplor-
ing the destruction of trees in the
city, and. with feeling of respite, l
also read of the suggestion to ban
parking at certain hours or north
and-south streets in lieu of widening
the streets by cutting down the trees.
If this method should not prove suffi-
Cient to comply with the demands o:
traffic and business. is there no other
way? Why not narrow the sidewalk.
without cutting down the trees. using
the new space between the trees ana
the narrowed sidewalk as parking
space? The difficulties of backlni.
into a parking space thus provided
would be less than that of wedeinS
in between two cars parked with the
curb. The trees would then be stlll at
their old duty of making Washington
beautiful. and, in addition, would be
helping to obliterate the eyesore OF
streets full of parked cars.
Have the Commissioners thought
ahead far enough to realize that II
the policy of widening streets through
the destruction of trees is instituted
and followed. as business districts
wane and fall. their deserted neigh
borhoods will be barren indeed and
as destruction proceeds to a new bust
ness neighborhOod. in it's wake will
follow the emptiness of trees?
Washington is not business cen
ter. but the seat of government and
thing of beauty. largely because of
it's trees. Many street has no other,
claim to quality than its arch of
green and the shade of its sidewalks.
Surely the designers of this place who
saw so for ahead in planting and
planning deserve all our support
now. The wise decision of the Com
missioners to halt the work of widen
ing the streets now permits q timely
and sympathetic consideration which
can save our trees.

In California there is movement
to bar poor old Shylock from the
theater. Bad actors have caused the
character to be misunderstood. His
efforts to conciliate are ignored and
he is depicted only as a monster of
revenge. The cruel provocation to
which he was subjected by the faith

been stressed. Like all Shakespearean
characters. whether in stellar promi-

Mrs. Mccormick Versus Len Small

Mrs. Medill McCormick's demand
that Gov. Len Small of Illinois be de.
feated if he runs again is scarcely
news. But her further assertion that
she is in the field to beat Gov Small
II L nave to do it myself is news.
For some time Mrs. Mccormick. wife
or the late Senator Mccormick, has
been suggested as a possible candi.
date for high office. She has taken
an active interest in politics. The
daughter of the late Mark Hanna
Senator from Ohio. who, as chairma n
OF the Republican national commit

is not strange she should do so, with
both father and a husband up, to
their ears in the great American
game.
Mrs. Mccormick: candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination of the Re.
publcans Of Illinois, would be an in.
teresting figure. She has more than
mere interest in politics. She has
ability: She is already Illinois woman
representative on the Republican ma
tional committee. No one knows With
entire definiteness whether Gov. Small

picion that he will. Despite indict.
ments and charges of corruption
lodged against him, Gov. Small has
managed to get himself reelected in
the past. notwithstanding the opposi-
tion of the late Senator Mccormick
and many of the Republicans in H.
linois.
The elimination of Gov. Small Mrs.
Mccormick deems essential to a united
Republican party in the State. Party
factions among the Republicans in H.

with which they struggle makes it a
miracle that the G. o. p. has retained
so strong a hold on the State, explain.

Kinley. Gov Small appointed Smith to
fill the unexpired Mckinley term,
which ended March 4 last. The ap-
pointment of Smith by Gov Small
was taken as indication that he was
building his own fences for another
election as governor. His present
term expires in January, 1929, and
the next gubernatorial campaign in
Illinois is simultaneous with the presi-
dental campaign. Allen r. Moore,
the Republican national committee
man for Illinois, was the Smith cam
paign manager last year.
In Illinois new alignments of Re.

There is one old saying of the com
mon people that always appealed to
us, and it is simply this:
1T is a sin to steal pin,
1t is a greater to steal Il 'tater.'
Much compton sense is embodied in
this atrocious bit of rhyme. 1t is to
be suspected that the village poet
who perpetrated it had CLINT of hu
NOR in his eye at the time.
It's Jurisprudence, perhaps. is not
equal to its sense of proportion. but
it states, in unforgettable language
the feeling of most persons upon this
mooted matter.
Happily. the old style way of looking
at sin and especially thievery. has
given place largely to more right
eous methods.
Something of this same way of
thinking is contained in the immortal
song from The Mikado." when the
lord high eXecutiOner. we believe it
was, asked for a punishment to fit
the crime.
The average person wonders at
the justice of life. sometimes. when
he reads. in two dispatches. one from
California and the other from New
York, that one man was sentenced to
life imprisonment for stealing S5 cents
ana roast pork sandwich, and
another given a life sentence who
turned door knob in a hotel 1t was
the fourth offense for both men
Not knowing the details of the
cases. one has little right, perhaps.
to express an opinion. but. on the
surface, it would seem rather hard
that men should get slowed away
for life on such charges.
Surely the pin and potato maxim
was not taken into consideration.

Not so many hundred years ago q
person was subjected to the torture of
the rack to extract from him a con
fession of theft and. when he "con-

Today the common charge of the
man on the street" is that it is the
little thieves who get sent up. and
that the big ones are able to bug
themselves off, in one way or another.
In other words. t is declared. if you
arc going to steal, "steal biz
This would seem to be a reversal of
the old rhyme. Yet the fac remains
that circumstances alter cases." and
that therefore extenuation must be
granted in every mans mind in many
instances
To reach out and take what one
wants is one of the first and most
natural desires and actions of man
kind. 1t begins when the child in the
cradle stretches out it's arms for the

Small children normally desire what
ever attracts them. Every one knows
some boy or girl. 3 or years old, who
invariably wants the playthings of it's
comrades, and almost as invariably
proceeds to take them.
Usually this tendency is held down
by a process of education, part of
