RAPS RENT BOOSTERS.
Correspondent Places Them in Class
with Money Sharks.
To tbe Editor Th? Washington
Herald: I beg space through the
columna of your valuable paper to
aay a few words In behalf of thou
sands of "old residents" of thl? city,
both white and colored, who have
become a shining mark and easy prey
for the "rent profiteers" In the na
tion's capital.
All Washington still remembers that
a few years ago there were companies
of men who took such undue advan
tage of the clerks, and many others
of this city, by lending money at
auch a shamefully high interest that
tbey won for themselves tb? well de
served title of "loan sharks." Know
ing that these so-called "loan sharks"
were robbing the poor people beyond
all bounds of reason. Congress stepped
in and enacted a law which put them
out of business.
But as bad aa the loan sharks were
they were nothing to be compared
to tbe present "rent profiteers" In this
city. And let ua all rejoice In the
fact that there are statesmen In tbe
present Congress who, thank God. are
fixing to "move upon the works" of
the rent gamblers here who seem to
be determined to make It Impossible
for the poor people to live in a house
and at tbe same time have money !
enough left to buy a loaf of this so
called bread we eat.
House rent here at best Is shame
fully high, and if the unjust land
lorda raise tbe rents ?ven a dollar
more on the former price, the Dletrlct
Commissioner? should take that aa
an Increaae ??n the value of their
property and levy a higher tax on
the same.
But the most shameful thing about
this sudden Jump in house rent lies In
the fact that the colored people are
being charged almost SO per cent
more than the former high price.
Many of these people have been faith
ful tenants for ten, fifteen and twenty
years, remaining with the same land
lorda or real estate agents, and to
day they must pay almost double the
former rent. And in some cases, the
wicked and ungrateful landlords have
given tbe faithful colored tenants or
ders to "move out." They have even
refused to accept a higher rent, offer
by th? old faithful colored tenants.
Shame! Shame on them! By forc
ing the payment of unreasonable and
unjustly high rents many of the real
estate owner? have become Indepen
dently rich off the hard-earned money
of the colored people. And now to
show how well they appreciate their
faithfulness to them, they not only
raise the rant, bat give them orders
to move ont! t
The loan sharks were pot out of
business, and Cong-resa owes It to the
people, both white and colored alike,
to call a halt on these "rent boosters.
As they go up on the rent It should
be taken as a great increase In the
value of the property and the tax??
?hould be ralaed accordlnaly. Ian't
that fair? . M
But a word more about the colored
people. Her? ar? true and tried
friende of the white people with the
very stamp of patriotism and love of
country written In their foreheads.
And It goes without saying that the?
people have never been found wasting
when called upon t? do their part In
defending the country, whether If be
on tbe battlefield. In tbe trenchea or
with their little moneys.
They answered. "Here am I" to tbe
first and second liberty loan call of
the government, and rest asaured that
they will not be found wanting in the
"third call." l?ow, considering the??
facts to be true, ought not theae pa
triotic friends be counted worthy of
consideration and protection by the
powera that be? With all of bla love
of country there are some white In
grates who would rather favor a
known German epy and enemy than
to give the faithful colored brother
what I? rightfully due him. And to
these let us say that that Eye?that
Eye which never slaSeps?Is upon you!

Reader Believe* Sedition Bill Could
Stand Amendments.
To the Editor of the Waabington
Herald?The pending "Sedition Bill."
aa It has been called, or properly
amendment to, tbe espionage law, as
ottered by Senator Walsh, et al..
seems to be designed, almost exclu
sively, to prohibit, and penavlixe crit
icism of, or any contemptuous ref
erence to, tb? so-called "swivel-chair."
or safety first officers of draft age
and good physical condition who,
holding commissiona In the army,
are detailed to perform office or cler
ical work, messenger service, etc.. In
Washington; and In other places or
"islands of safety." In any event,
whether It was ?o Intended or not.
that will be the actual effect of
the measure if enacted into law
without change and its It now stands
ALSO it doea NOT contain or carry
any clause or provision which would
make profiteers amenable to the law,
or would permit their prosecution
and punishment as traitors. This
laat constitutes a serious defect as
it now stands and, in th? opinion
of many well-informed men and wom
en. If the bill la finally passed with
out a provision or clause including all
.lasses and klnda of profiteers?that
is to say. people who get or obtain
public funds without giving the gov
ernment value received for same, by ,
means of cost-plus contracts or oth
erwise?it will prove to be a very un
popul?r measure and a boomerang,
politically, for all Senators and Rep
resentatives who support or vote for
it.
Proper amendment, or amendments,
should be? offered. Including all the
profiteers and persona who, directly
or Indirectly, steal any public funds
in time of war, and excluding from
the operation of same, and from pen
alty of any kind, truthful criticisms
or statements or chargea with re
spect to soldier? or sailors who are
not actually In the lighting ranks, at
least, or officers of the U. S. army
or navy who have been. In any man
ner, directly or Indirectly, connect
ed with any "profiteering" enter
prise or conspiracy against the gov
ernment; and a record roll call
should be demanded on such amend
ments so that the country may know
Just bow and where each Representa
tive and Senator stand? with respect
to adequate punishment for profiteers.
In the opinion of many thousand?
of people, of all classes, profiteers
are positively the vilest and most
contemptible traitors with which our
country will have to deal; and their
operations the most far-reaching and
deadly In effect, ?o far aa our effi
ciency in the war against Germany
is concerned. Won't you please aee
to it that such amendments are of
fered In both Senate and House, a.u*
a record roll call demanded?

J. W. Richman Commends Herald
Criticism of Swivel Chair Men.
To the Editor The Washington
Herald: Tour scathing publicity of
the "swivel chair" commissioned offi
cer "slacker" scandal is on? of the
most heartening things that has come
to light. Tou have rendered those
who are whole-heartedly and consci
entiously working to make the world
"safe for democracy" the greatest
service.
You will receive ss a result of your
efforts the enmity of the patriots for
profit?of those who wave the flag and
never loose an opportunity to loudly
boast of their patriotism and love of
"my" country. The camouflage artists
who about "slacker," "pro-German,"
?X W. W..' "di?oyaUst" at ?very one
who point? to the?? a?i_?a and who
refuse to go 'bug-house' over the war
?the super-patriotic highbrow who
flamboyantly contend? that the way
to make the world ?afe for democracy
ia to try and root out ?very vestige
of It we have left?the?? will point the
craven finger and shout the above
named epithets at you.
"Whom the gods would destroy
they flrst make mad" ?till hold?
good, though we have gotten beyond
the "gods" stage In our migration up
ward. Many sincere Americans, pa
triotic aa any of tb? noisy, boastin
breed, oto our greatest danger in the
militaristic bureaucracy that Is
?lowly getting a itrangle-hold oa the
masses of unthinking folks. Tbe only
f?w instances since the wsr began
where the American citizen has had
an opportunity to express hi? honest
opinions?at the basic root of democ
racy, the ballot box?what have we
seen? Well, not to tax the thought
tank too' harshly, look to Wisconsin
the laat two or three days. What do
we see? These super-patriotic Ameri
cans (?) talking of putting the State
under martial law. If anything were
needed to brand them as disloyal to
fundamental democracy, the giving
utterance to such a thought will con
demn them. Real democracy has
nothing to fear by turning the search
light on the festering ?pots and I am
pleaaed to aee that The Washington
Herald haa the vision to see and the
backbone to turn the spotlight on one
of them. I shall expect to see tbe
"Knight? of Liberty." the "National
Council of Defense," and a host of
little "me too" patriots lay selge to
your redoubts. If they do, I shall
be glad to give up my life here In be
half of democracy at home in your

CRITICS ?OUT OF PLACE."
Should Abolish German Language
Publications, Say? Reader.
To the Editor of The Washington
Herald: In so far as the United States
government is concerned, the conduct
of the war abould be turned over to
President Wilson, ex officio comman
der-ln-chlef of the United States army
and navy. "Too many cooks spoil the
aoup."?Senator Sherman. Secretary
Baker, of the War Department, is
one of the moat loyal, patriotic and
able men in President Wilson's cabi
net, and a man in whom the Presi
dent has the utmost confidence, and
so it Is with the rest of the members
of the Wilson Cabinet. They are all
loyal, faithful, able, ?incera and true
to the Chief Executive of this mighty
and great nation.
The "critics" of the Wilson Admin
istration are wholly "out of place"
and tune at thla critical time in the
history of our country. Mark what I
say. Senator Sherman: The nation
stands by its President! And so doe?
the great State of Illinois, "regard
less of Senator Sherman."
In my humble opinion, It would not
he a bad "Idea" if t'oiigress abolished
all German language publicationa In
this country for the duration of the
war at least. Germ.m "propaganda"
has proven to be a "curse" to this
country, and every other country "at
war" with Germany. German "prop
aganda" has even entered the
"homes" of the i?eople in neutral na
tions, to say nothing about German
"spies'" and "diplomats" higher up.
In ?ome State? of the Union the
German language has been "elimini
nated" from the puhlic and parochial
schools. That is v.i?e. just, right and
proper, and as it should be. If Kaiser
"Bill" of Germany had any Justifica
tion and power within the United
States of America, the first thing he
would do would be to abolish the Eng
lish-American language on free Amer
ican soil. GEORGE A. RITTER.

J. A. C. Believes Women Should
Not Have to Wear Them.
To the Editor The Washington!
Herald: Kindly allow ua to voice
our objection to an article appear- ?
Ing in a recent issue of your paper,
with reference to "uniforming" girls
who are working for the govern
ment, in a characteristic military
fashion.
In view of the fact that the ma
jority of the girl employes now
working for the government are
cacrificing the comforts of home
and the congeniality of a host of
friends to come to the Capital City
to do a patriotic work, we would
like to express our sentiments on
the subpect.
With all due respect and honor to
the girla who have made thia sac
rifice and have come to Washing
ton to help the government suc
cessfully prosecute the war, we are
opposed to anything which would
jeopardize their moral or social
welfare. Isn't theregsthe possibility
that a girl arrayed In a distinctly
military form of dress would fail
to command the ?ame respect and
admiration that would be bestowed

upon her sister going and coming from
work without thia uniform? Wa
cannot be too careful In A matter
of auch great importance. It 1?
our duty to look at th? subject from
all anglea and all view potata be
fore we mak? a linai dacia?? of
such a nature.
There 1? a distinct Individuality
of dree? and manner that a Ctrl
ponesse? which makes her an ob
ject of admiration to her friends
and all tho?? about her. Will not
thi? proposed uniform destroy that
Individuality? DoeB tha modest and
home-loving girl want thi? form of
advertisement? Shouldn't th? ?aeri
ne?, that they are ?>__? ba aa a
higher level and of a nobler type
than the kind that play? to th?
"gallery gods?"
The main argument given by
those who propose this form of
dress Is that a lot of money or
dinarily spent In dressing would
go into liberty bonds and war
saving stampa. Hav? they ever
?topped to ligure what a soldier?
uniform is worth today? Have they
ever given thought to the fancy
price that our merchant? would
charge for the uniform, owing to
th? cost of material? Wouldn't the
same tendency for getting the beat
that there ia In the line of clothes
exist even in the 'purchasing of a
uniform?
This criticism is given in good
faith and in a constructive sense.
We are opposed to girls coming to
work aa if they are going to some
social event. However, we would
suggest simple white blouses and
plain blue skirts aa being an
economical and becoming style ?G
dren? and something that would
not have a martial appearance.

HER TRIAL AND OURS
Ir'rnm tba Ionia?ill. Han?.1
England today faces one of those
great crises out of which in the past
?he has always come forth renewed
and resurgent, triumphing and tri
umphant.
We like to think of that In this, the.
hour of her p.n!. We like lo think
of thia in her day of trial. We. who
are Americans, are. in a very real
sense, British, too. Their story Is
our story, even as their language is
our own. their literature and. In the
broadest and most catholic 'ente.
their religion, their outlook, ???r
very habits of life. ? their law. their
tradition. If we are what we are It
is because our forebear?, in a gr? at
majority of cases, were born on
tho?e British isles which their lore
bear?, had defended from invasion and
rescued from ignominy. Philip ol
Spain and his Armada. Kaiser Wil
helm and his armies?do they, not
.?pell the same test, demand the same
sacrifice and prove the same spirit?
Outnumbered then, outnumbered now,
hut dauntless now as then. And the
field In which they fight today is a
field that has known British fight
ing in the past, the best British j
fighting and the noblest British dy
ing. It was at Zutphcn. In the I?w I
Countries, that Sir Philip Sidnev mvc I
up his life, hi? sweet and gentle life,
hi? life beautiful in letter? as ? was
in living, that a comrade t'isht be
saved. It was In the Low C'oui.tries
that British volunteers came to ili^
aid of th? burgher? who defied the
Spanish viceroy. And it wa? .11 II,?? I
Low Countries, too. that Wellington ?
broke the heart of Napoleon, as ?
hundred years earlier Marlborough
broke the heart of Turtnne.
It has been somewhat the habit
In thia country to neglect the bond
that unites us to the British Isle?.
and to remember only the ugly
separation and the stupid blunder
ing that followed hard upon it. It
Is because It is part of our daily
life that we pay little attention to
It, and It la because our teaching
of history has been one-stded that,
what attention we do pay to it is
for the most part unfriendly, when
it is not actually unfair. And yet
it Is difficult to imagine what Amer
ica would be like if it were not ao
very much like England, and upon
what models we should be ahaping
our live?, our Institutions and our
very selves if that model were not
English. For. ss it happens such
other civilizations as have been on
thia continent have left virtually no
impress whatever, no institution,
scarcely ao much as a custom that
we can note.
What remains to us of Spain save
the picturesque ruins of California.
What do we retain from Krance un
less it be so much or the Code of
Napoleon as survives In New Orleans?
Where do we acknowledge the Hol
lander except in legend and in cer
tain architectural peculiarities? But
England is with us in our waking
hours and our sleeping hours, in
every aspect, purpose and occupa
tion of our lives. The English Bible
is our Bible; the English sturdlness
and downrightness and contempt of
shams are part of our heritage. It
was only when England waa ceas
ing to be an England worthy of
herself, and drifting into an Eng
land ignoble and In foreign bond
age, that those Pilgrim Fathera
were impelled, with a great rend
ing of ties, with bitter anguish and
saddened soul, to seek out our bleak
shores and found another England,
a new England. And they brought
with them no sense ot disloyalty,
no thought of divorce, no wish of
disassociation. They gave to tbe
places of their sojourn the names
that were dear to them. They re
called by that loyal habit the scenes
that they had known and loved.
And from that time on, wherever
the American planted a young com
munity, the village, the city, the
river, the very hills were piously
remembered.
If in this great war we had taken
no part and shared no responsibility,
if our neutrality had withstood all
peril and our good will been equally
at the service of one group of com
b?tante or the other; if buatneaa had
gone on aa before, and the jar, the
wrench, the trials and the anguish had
all alike been foreign to us and aloof,
we could not then have been Indif
ferent; we could not then have ?at by
idly as spectators and critics, judg
ing the blows, marking tho pointa and
careless of the Issue. Right or wrong.
It was Inevitable, It was not avoid
able that England'? agony ?hould be
ours. We might have quarreled, aa
families do, but In the great striving.
In the heroic martyrdom. It was not
possible, It could not have been pos
sible, that we should be untouched.
But aa It happened we are sharers
and partners with England. We are
her ally In deed and In fact, as so
long we were In thought and In heart.
Disaster to the British today ia dis
aster to America, neither more nor
less, and It la impossible to separate
the cause ef one from tha eauae of
the other.
The better reason then that wa pray
that thla cloud may pass from her
and this burden be lifted,
write It leem? to be beyond her
?trength. And yet. aa we have ?aid,
ther? haa In the past never been a
task she might not enter upon, a duty
she could not perform, a sacrifice not
gallantly to be made.

HISTORICAL FLAG INCIDENTS

HERE we show the main incident in the story of Dome Barbara
Frietchie, who. gray-haired old woman tho' she was. feared not
to flaunt the beloved Stars and Stripes in the very faces of the
enemies of her country as they marched through the streets of Frederick
town.
That the rebel leader. General Stonewall Jackson. r??cognized and
honored her act as one of extreme bravery and patriotism, it shown by
the lines of the verse in which he says : "Who harms one hair of yon
gray head dies like a dog; march on," he said.
Occasions constantly arise in every village and municipality when
every patriotic American citizen should SHOW THE COLORS. Upon ev
ery National Holiday and upon occasions of a purely local nature the
Stars and Stripes, floating to the breeze from eviry house and flagstaff,
