But review Of the plus and minus
developments of any calendar period
is a discouraging business. The
negative factors bulk too large, the
positive too small for proper ap-
praisal. Historians know from ample
experience that, the shifting scene of
human life is complex beyond their
power Of analysis. At best, they can
discern trends only-trends often
enough deceptive. The under-cur-
rents commonly are unguessed. Per-
haps a generation hence it may be
discovered that 1898 was a year OF
vast Importance for reasons now
concealed. Some observers have
dared to hope that hidden forces
determined on righteousness and
peace already are at work through
out the earth.

Ruid on the Mint

The mint at San Francisco is an
imposing edifice tastefully furnished
with armor plate, tear gas equip
ment, time locks, machine guns,
armed guards and all the parapher-
MALTA customarily found along the
frontiers of a couple of European ma
tions which have just signed a peace
pact. Undismayed by its awesome
armament, pair of flfteen-year-old
schoolboys got in by the charmingly
simple expedient of crawling through
an open window, after which they
tossed out sheets of copper destined
to be stamped into pennies. Alarmed
by the clatter OF pennies from
heaven, guards rushed in and caught
the juvenile culprits. 1t is reported
that the face of the director Of the
mint has taken on a color half way
between scarlet and crimson, which
will remain till further notice.
In order to discourage this annoy
ing business Of souvenir hunting in
the mint, new regulations have been
issued. Each employe is held respon-
sible for the safety of its well-knoWn
product, and has new civil service
classif1cation-mint spy. It will be
his duty to check up on all school
children, particularly in the kinder
garten class, and to report immedi-
ately any suspicious kiddie cars
parked in the vicinity. Bucolic en-
ployes, whose previous experience has
been mainly connected with barns,
and who are not yet used to the
strange customs of San Francisco,
have been instructed that it is an old
metropolitan custom for the last man
out to close the door and lock 1t, the
added security thereby provided be-
ing we'll worth the extra trouble.
1t is felt the recent raid resulted
from confusing the mint and the
Treasury, which are far from being
the same thing. The Treasury Is
located in Washington. 1t is never
locked tight, and may be raided
quite legally and with comparative
ease. For further details, consult the
record Of the enthusiastically

Safety Progress

The first phase has passed In
Washington's effort to modernize its
traffic regulations through the adop-
ton of measures designed to bring
greater safety to all who use the
streets The matter, with the views
of the citizens thoroughly presented,
now rests with the District Commits
sioners It is hoped there will be no
unnecessary delay in reaching a de-
cision. Previous attempts to achieve
these results have met with failure,
either through procrastination or in
difference. The starting of a new
year, with a clean slate on which to
mark up traffic safety records,
would be an excellent time to begin
anew.
Should the Commissioners find it
advisable to adopt only the provision
to require pedestrians to obey signals
at controlled intersections, at least a
start toward the desired goal will
have been made. 1t is only one step
in large plan, and it probably
would benefit motorists as much as
pedestrians, but it is an advance.
Other steps can follow as they are
needed.
The traffic program of the National
Safety Council in recent years has
stressed the famous Three E's,"
education, enforcement, engineering.
One result of the public hearings
held here Thursday was the empha-
sizing, by a number of well-informed
witnesses, Of the imperative need In
Washington for education and en-
gineering Improvement. The first
OF these involves the proposed alter
native regulation, based on Con-
necticut's law, which forbids pedes-
trians to use the streets negligently,
to disobey signals, or to disregard
recklessly their own or others safety.
Engineering is considered in the
broad proposals for a revision of the
signal system, safety zones, and right
of way regulations. If the officials
Of the National Capital give serious
thought to these two elements of
safety, the third, enforcement, will
follow naturally.
Control at busy intersections is
not enough, but it is something and
represents progress. Even complete
coordination Of pedestrian traffic,
as originally proposed, would not be
a cure for all the numerous safety
problems Of Washington's thorough
fares. But now public opinion has
been sounded out. A diversity of
viewpoints and suggestions has been
presented, some futile, many sound,
and few vital. There is no longer
reason to hold back. A definite,
broad safety program should move

An End to Riders

Generally speaking, the announced
campaign of Representative Kennedy
against permitting District appropri-
alton bills to serve as some sort of
Legislative Christmas tree" for vari-
Gus bits of extraneous legislation
must be accepted with approval.
Proper and adequate machinery is
set up in Congress for the prepara-
ton of legislation. This machinery
includes committees devoted to spe-
cific purposes and vested with the
right to exercise their Judgment on
all legislation in their particular
category. There do exist loopholes,
however, through which proposals
having little or no true bearing upon
the basic objective of bill may be
attached without objection in the
form Of riders.
Resorted to most often in the clos
ing confusion Of congressional ses-
sions, this strategy frequently is
successful as the physical impossi-
bility of careful examination of all
measures by members allows the
added proposals to slip by unnoticed
or inadequately considered. Although
the device sometimes is used to
worthy ends, it is fundamentally q
sharp practice" and is more often
an evil than otherwise.
President Roosevelt placed himself
squarely on record in August, 1887.
when he condemned as an instance
of vicious practice" the addition of
a retail price maintenance rider to
District revenue bill.
As for the District, it's unhappy
experience with the notorious "red
rider has left little taste for con-
tinued application of this means Of
writing the Nations laws.

Neck, had somewhat better roads, but
they were far from adequate.
In another two years these two
rich sections will be linked by the
bridge over the Potomac at Morgan
town. In anticipation of that I'M
provement, the residents of Southern
Maryland have started a campaign to
have the Leonardtown highway mod
ernized and improved. Other Sec
tions of the State have fine roads,
and new links are in prospect to carry
ever-increasing trafflc from WASH
ington to Baltimore. With the in
crease Of through traff1c between
the North and South over the Nor
gantown Bridge, an improvement
will be an absolute necessity. It will
not need be great, entirely new
boulevard. The Strengthening of q
few miles here and there, elimina-
ton of some bad curves and the cut
ting Of unnecessary hills will suffice.
But it should be done as quickly as
possible.
Part Of the cause for the past neg
lect has been due to the desire Of
those who have summer places or
alternate homes In the section to
preserve the rusticity Of the entire
neighborhood. But the permanent
residents, whose bread and butter
depends upon the facility of reaching
proper markets, deserve better than
they have received. They should be
given the chance to achieve a modern
economic position.

The chimes ring out, and in this fateful
hour
An infant year is born. Will unleashed
hate
Rule his short span? Or will some
mightier power
Than lust and human greed crush those
who prate
OF war for nations good? Dare men
play God,
With puny hands sneared with their
brothers blood;
When alien peoples fall beneath the rod
OF racial spite spewed out in british
flood?
Let Christmas peace, and New Years
dangerous bells
Mean more than mockery. The world
is sick
OF WEAKNESS and doubt; no truth FORE
tells
The plan, or browns false words Of
rhetoric.
May this year fuse in some pure alchemy
A brotherhood for all humanity.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. Trace,ue1.

During the recent Christmas shopping
period 1t was noticeable that most OF the
members Of the crowd along . certain
street passed by lonely beggar without
giving him anything.
He had a sort Of tune which he kept
singing time after time.
Don't pass me BY" he called. Don't
pass me by"
Out OF curiosity, q pssserby watched
this spectacle for long time Just to
see who were the people who gave him
anything.
While the man watched he did not see
q young or middle-aged person drop q
coin into his hand.
It was the holidays, it was true, and
the laughing, happy crowd Of healthy
people had no time to think Of beggars.
Some people do not believe in giving
aims on the street.
The only persons who gave were elderly
women, some might even unfeelingly
have called them old. Almost without
exception they had white hair beneath
black hats.
Increasing years add to the store Of
pity.
It was impossible to believe that peo-
pie did not see the beggar. He was so
precisely in the middle Of the pavement
that every one had to walk around him.
He could be overlooked from neither
physical nor mental standpoint, except
by those who tried their best. Smiling
young women did good job Of pretend
ing not to see him. Young men paid no
attention to their elder brother under
foot. 1t was a cold day. The concrete
must have been cold down there. How
these fellows can sit bareheaded on the
sidewalk Is mystery.
Nobody seemed to be interested in him.
But the observer saw, now and then,
some woman in the sedate clothing of
age detach herself from the crowd to
come hurrying back to drop aims into
his thin, outstretched hand There can
be no doubt that she did 1t in the name
Of God.
Therefore warn you rich, have ruth
on poor folk;
Though you are mighty in the moot hall,
be meek in your judgments;
For the measures that you mete shall be
meted to you;
Your weights shall weigh you when the
hour Is ready"
So Piers Plowman said long, long
ago. And more he said
Though you are true of tongue and
true In dealing,
And as chaste as children weeping in
the churches,
If you love disloyalty and never lend the
poor,
Nor give the good that God has sent you
You have no more merit in masses and
devotion
Than Malkin in a maidenhood whom no
man wishes"
Brother Juniper, too, was one who
never passed beggars by.

chosen disciples Of st. Francis.

Progress in Demand

For many years two sections within
easy reach Of Washington were prac-
tically isolated from the rest of the
country. Because Of inadequate
transportation facilities, which had
made little progress since Colonial
days, they were held in the back
waters Of economic advancement.
One Of these sections, the Northern
Neck Of Virginia, has, within the
last few years, been opened up by
improved highways. The other, the
Potomac side Of Southern Maryland,

and Virginia avenues, etc.
Ch) Most important for pedestrian
safety-install raised islands, with heavy
iron guards at either end, on all busy
thoroughfares which have a width that
permits two traffic lanes on either side
Of the island. Such islands are par
ticularly necessary adjacent to busy
crossings. Note the difficulty in crossing
F and G streets in the shopping quarter.
If such Islands" were installed I be-
lieve the number Of accidents would be
greatly reduced and well-meaning driv-
ers would welcome such an arrangement.

full Of pity for the poor that when he
saw an unfortunate -underprivileged is
the word today-he Immediately took
OF his tunic or the hood Of his cloak.
An obedience was laid upon Brother
Juniper not to give away his tunic or
any other part Of his clothing.
It was IN the days Of tremendous pov-
erty when there were many poor, half
naked people.
One Of these, seeing Brother Juniper,
said, Aims, for the love OF God"
Brother Juniper replied, II have Moth
ing which could give thee but my tunic,
and my superior has laid me under obe-
dience not to give it, nor any part OF my
habit, to any one"
At this point we may feel sure that
Brother jumpers eyes twinkled
But II thou wilt take it of my back" !"
he continued, II will not resist thee"
The beggar was not slow to respond.
When Brother Juniper returned, he was
asked what mad become of his tunic.
He answered fairly enough that "A
good man took it of my back, and went
away with It,"
The virtue Of compassion so grew in
Brother Juniper that he began to give
away books or whatever else he could
lay his hands on. Things became so
that the brethren had to leave nothing
in the common rooms, because If they
did Brother Juniper gave it all away for
the love OF God and to the glory of His
name.
You would think the sacristan would
have known better, but he asked Brother
Juniper to guard the altar while he went
to dinner. The altar was richly adorned.
While Brother Juniper was in devout
meditation a poor woman came in and
asked aims.
wait a while" replied Juniper, "and
I will see II can find something for
thee"
The altar had very costly hanging of
gold, with silver bells of great value.
These bells" Brother Juniper said,
"are superluity"
Taking his knife he cut the bells of
the hanging, and gave them to the
woman.
All this had not taken very long. In
deed, the sacristan had eaten but few
mouthfuls when he realized that Brother
Juniper was not the best man he could
have left on guard.
He ran into the church and straight to
the altar, where he saw that the bells
were gone. "Ah, Brother Juniper!" he
said, much troubled.
BE not disturbed about those little
bells" said Brother Juniper, "for I have
given them to poor woman who had
great need of them and here they were
good for nothing but to make pompous
display of worldly vanity"
Brother Juniper was "in for it" now, as
we say today.
The sacristan tried to find the woman
but couldn't. He therefore proceeded to
his superior and, plainly, told on Juniper
1T is not Brother Juniper who has
done this, but thine own folly" reproved
the superior. "for thou oughtest by this
time to have known his ways; and I tell
thee, I only marvel that he did not give
away the whole hanging"
