Senator Gallinger.
The retirement of Senator Gallinger
from the chairmanship of the Senate
District Committee is a matter of sin
cere regret to cver citizen of Wash
ington Mr Gallinger has been a
faithful and Iojal friend of the Dis
trict He has rendered industrious
and effective service in the matter of
general legislation, while, as chairman
of the subcommittee in charge of the
District appropriation, he has been a
steadfast supporter of the half-and
half principle, and has secured for the
District a degree of liberality which
the House would not accord
There is no personal advantage for
an Senator or Representative in ren
dering service for the District Sena
tor Gallinger has, in fact, sacrificed
much in time, comfort, and even in
attention to matters which intimately
concerned him, in order to do his full
dutj toward the Xatioml Capital. He
has done his work modestlj and quiet

incalculable value

than passing recognition from the Dis
trict people He has earned their last

of appreciation would not he amiss

nnlli Sides nf the Question.
To the Editor terclv bj w ij nf giv
ing balance to tho rather heated dis
ruslon over MaJ Richard fcvlvfstcr. In
connection with tho suffrage pirade, one
peron who Is neither suffnglst nor
an antl-uffraglst. would like to make
a few modtfvlng comments.
In the first place, it was hard on the
police department to havo a big demon
stration on Its hands on that particular
date; the police foree Is taxed to the
limit on the dav preceding Inauguration,
because of the Incoming horde of strang
ers, and the preparations. Trom the
police point of lew, it was the worst
day the suffragists could have chosen.
But this comment Is not intended as a
rebuke to the suffragists for selecting
tiiat date, because it suited tlie purpoo
they had In new And the fact I
preclited that perhaps MaJ Silvester did
not rise to the emerpenr as ho might
have done this Is a matter of opinion
but tho point should be noted that It was
an unprecedented emergencv, and lie had
onlv a small force to meet It with A!
though he has begged every 5 car for a
larger foree Po both sides should b
considered before coiidemni
As for the efiielencv of tlie police de-
partmtnt, generallj speaking, about
year ago our family were obliged to c
upon them for protection from a gang
of toughs who were using our Immediate
neighborhood as a rendezvous, and we
met with a most prompt nnd effeetlv
response For dnvs our neighborhood
w is patrolled by speciall detailed ofllccrs
until the gang was entirely broken up.
and the captain of the precelnet called
in person to Inquire about the situation
He jtlso left his vcard, requesting us to
notlfv him in case of 'further trouble,
giving as his reason that on account of
the smallness of the forco the men could
not be everjwhere at once. It should
bo remembered. In this connection, that
Congress has been over-economical in
providing funds for the police force,
which is small for a city of this size
And. as for the parade matter. It Is
being argued that the- had ample force
to keep order on Inauguration day, but
It must be remembered that the person
nel of that parade was entirely different,
being composed of soldier, cowboys, and
