F'res ident ~ latest ti? ift" deliver ?n?-. rofalls i famous remark of the late < 0l Ik*' Hill of Ohio. long n democratic employe of the House. Col. Mill was an old-style politician, v. ho never scratched .? ticket. always believed his party right. j nrld on the ?-ve of an election was always confident of sutfits summing up K?s in this sentence: "We've got >m. hoys?if they don't buy us." Mr. Wilson expects a tariff bill to suit him if money does not change the situa- j tlwi. His information is that money Is being used In quant'ties to create senti ment throughout tlie country and Wash- j in*; on Is full of lobbyists for the pur- . pc>s* of influencing Congress to amend ' the Fnderwood hill in important partiou- j lars. He denounces the movement, and asks the public to take note of it Prominent senators and representatives, j however, have fc It no such pressure. It oefins not to have l>een in evid^nco while thn larifT hill was pas>?ng throu-.'h the IJouse. and several senators <Vsi:-r?us of serine th ? hill amended by the Senat--* are withou: inforniat 0*1 as to the al lege sk;;!!dusgery.

They insist that men who have spent their time in mills and factories, in sugar cane and iH'-et fields, and on sheep ranges, are bet- I ter advised of what should be done than ! accomplished i'?holar who has been ; canning theories in a library. But whether Mr. Wilson is duly or un- ; duly alarmed, what he says should fix 1 attention. If malign influences are at work they should he exposed and de'eat ert. The country wants and expects a tariff biil framed and passed upon the Merits of th? question; and it has been . expressly s-'.ated both by Mr. Wilson in his speeches and by his party in its plat- | form that tariff levision need not and should not take the form of destruction to any legitimate AmerUan industry. ?11 u way. and in some circles, money , talks. But It has never talked In con- j gress onal circles so loudly as reore- ? sen ted in curbstone gussi.). Speaker Clark in s tribute to the House the other ( night expressed the heiief that not a | s^r>gle vote in that oody could be bought; . and as much may be safely said of the 1 Senate. Whatever the final shape of the l^nderwood bill, it will not be a triumph 0* boodle. Lean the Traffic Rules! Judging from communications received toy The Star recently there remain some peop'e in the Oistr'et who are not ac quainted with the traffic regulations and whose Instruction on this score is there- : f6re incomplete. To reduce the number \ of those who are thus unfamiliar with j the rules The Star has arrang?d with the police department for a wider distri- 1 but'on of the iit le booklets which relate the various regulations. Th?*v may h? ob- r taintd on Hppl'c&tlon at The Star office or ar.y police stat on. A patro'man will furnish a copy to any c'tlsen who asks fpr one Not until every person in Washington ^ets :o l:now the rule of the road will the campaign for greater sa'etv in the streets n ach a practical stage. The ig norance of one driver will cause much trouble Every pedestrian in particular should know precisely what is required of th-* drivers and motorists as well a> what i? as^urxi to him in his use of the ? . -treets Those who want to obey the 'aw ?re greatly in the majority, while onlv a ?-mull pe-centag' of n?>.?pl' a'"?? ir. rtifT'--?!,t to th? rule* when ih?v have been thoroughly explained. This ;ndlf f"reu< e. however, constltu vs the- chief menace of th?- stri-t-ts. and it should he j the #-Toi: of all law-abld'ng street users ? to bring to book those who ar- deliberate ly detiant or sneakinglv evasive of th? regulation.-'. It will perhaps i>e well for the Com missioners to have printed a condensed dige-t of the traffic- regulations, stating tJlem in the Mnallest possible number of words. &o that the> can be lead in a few moments and understood without ques tiejn. Such a condensation should state, tor example, precisely what drivers can do and what they must not do; wha? p*1 elestrians must do and are safe in do r>g >>?> long a- others obey the regula tions. It :s to the interest of everybody to hs\e the rul?*s comprehended by ail. and their presentation in abbreviated form would facilitate th> general knowl edge. The Jarancse tpay not be dollar diplr> matists, but they unquestionably show an appreci?*t'on of commercial values in their relations with other countries. A Michigan editor might scrutinize the beverages e?f a public man. but no Ken tucky editor would be guilty of such a violation of the ethics of conviviality. A large share of scientific effort is being devoted to prevent a transfer of tii? turtle from the bill of fare to the doctor s preacription. The Friedmaan "Cure." From the negative report on the Fried niann treatment for tuberculosis prc sent?d by the public health service pro gression has been made now to an ac tively condemnatory statement by the health officer of the port of New York, re* ommending the p.-ohlbiiion of its iiel ininistraiion until a:t affirmative proof is jivrn in ti.e authorities of its innocuous ci aracter. It ap|>eirs fiom an investiga tion made i-y an official of lite city health ?'?,w. rt t'e.it of N< v.

When Dr. Frledraann came to this country he brought no such credentials as to Justify bis acceptance on faith. If he had agreed at the outset to explain his mode of treatment, to announce to a mcdical committee the precise character of the serum and the nature of its path ological action, it would have bepn entire ly proper to permit him to test it, using such subjects as were willing to submit to the experiment. But lie refused to sub ject himself to such restriction? and con ditions and insisted upon-working in bis o? n way, keeping secret the nature of the serum and the formula of its reac tion. Nobody can tell today what liarm lias been done or what good has been ac complished by these treatments. It may be that no lives have been placed in jeopardy, because probably in all the cases treated there v as no hope of re covery. Nevertheless, ir" there has been any case of an actual acceleration of the disease in <-onsequence of these injections | harm lias been wrought and action si~kould b? taken to put a stop to any further ex perimenting ur exploitation. Any one with a so-called cure for tuber-1 fwlosis can b> means of shrewd publicity devices arouse a widespread interest and ? licit overwhelming applications for treat ment. .-o eager and optimistic are the s-jfferers from this disease, so willing to ti} anything suggestive of a cure. Every American community should be protected against fh< possibility < ( fakes and frauds and false theories b; tho cornpuJ sorv subiTi.ssSoii lo regulation and re straint whenever one of these ? cure" pro- ' moters presents himseif The Provision of Sanitary Homes. | It v ill be to the advantage of the city j If the ?nterprise of furnishing small* dweiiin.-s for those now ret'ide.H in the J insanitary alleys is financed bv means of ; a lars: ? number o* small subscriptions to I th" construction fund. This is a practical philanthropy in which as many as pos sible ?.f the citizens should take .part. The mon?y thus subscribed will draw an assured interest at a good rate and will be working to the advantage of the com munity by improving the living condi tions Of the poor, it is to everybody's interest to abate the alley nuisance by eliminating the noisome slums and sub stituting clean homes where people o' smali means can live decently without danger oc breeding disease not only among themselves but among others more fortunately situated. This morning an opportunity was af forded to those who are concerned in the solution oi the alley problem in Wash ington to take part in this movement by subscribing to the fund ?h'.ch it is now necessary to raise in order to insure the construction of proper dwellings to re place thos<- which it Is proposed to raze fn the sanitary treatment of certain al leys and courts. It is not necessary to be a large capitalist to engage In this work. On the contrary, as a bus ncss proposition these investments appeal par ticulai iv to the person of moderate means who Is see-king a safe a-.d reliable in vestment for small surpluses of capital. Ft is a duty which the District owes to it3eif to provide proper dwelling j places for those who are now living in tiie alley slums. It is contrary to the municipal policy for the District its:If to build model tenements and houses, as undertaken in some other communi ties1. and without such official action the poor must be housed through private en terprise. I'nless this is done in the spirit of practical philanthropy the hous ing is made a matter of grasping in vestment, every dollar expertded upon alley habitations seeking a large and ultimately a disease-generating rate of interest. When the housing of the poor is accomplished soleiy through private in vestment governed bj ordinary business considerations the results are almost Invariably inimical to the public welfare. In the preterit case it is proposed to destroy a large number of alley houses which now give shelter to several hun dred people. Where are those people to live if these projects are carried Into cfTect? I'nless the housing plan now proposed as a result of subscriptions to a "sanitary construction" fund is suc cessful the effect of the cleaning out of the places marked for the next advancc will be to drive the denlsens Into other slums, rendering them worse than they are now or to start the deterioration of sections of the city which are now free ? I from th's taint. T ic tlta.h '.-t a prize lighter in the ring should invite close investigation of train Ihk methods now in practice. It was formerly thought that a man entered the prize ring hi such physical condition as to preclude the possibility of a fatal re sult. I.ater methods in sport have often appeared trj make the advertising man almost its important a figure as the trainer. 1'niversal peace would unquestionably Interfere with government manufacture of military equipment. Turning swords Into plowshares would be a minor en terprise compared to that of remodeling an armor-plate plant for th? manufac ture of agrlcu'tural implements. Possibly Senator Penrose figures that cutting off tlie expense of a tariff lobby may obviate any inclination on the part of manufacturers to forestall deficiencies by reducing wages. In a searcn for material to brighten the pages of the Congressional Record leave to print some of the college commence ment speeches now In preparation might be obtained. A popular inclination for political change may be stimulated by the eager-! ness with which a public official usually proceeds to show what an improvement he is on bis predecessor. Any lobbyist v ho ventures into the I'niteel States ( apitol may be depended on to tread softly when he passes the door of the President s room. Two Bosses. Pity the sorrows of two New York bosses; Or. put It another way. Pity the sorrows of those who are trying to get rid of the two bossesi William Barnes, jr., and Charles F. Murphy are the bosses. Mr. Barnes is a patrician. He was born to high social position, financial in dependence. and a chance. He has had all the advantaves of education and pull. He is a bright man, and pugnacious. He lll:es a scrap, and if one is slow in form ing he will hasten It. As a descendant of Thurlow Weed he "naturally took to politics," and as naturally to practical politics. He knows no other kind. Ci arles F. Murphy comes of humble stock. He was born to no advantages. He has had to make his way by native wit and industry, and has gone far. His present power in politics U a tribute to j his ability, for he has been matched ' against very capable men both in his own and in the opposition party. It was much to attain the leadership of Tam many Hall, but more to spread Tarn many's influence over the state?some thing that neither John Kelly nor Rich ard Crokcr succeeded in doing. There Is war on against both these men. Mr. Baines is described as a re actionary by tjany republicans, and they want him supplanted as committee chair man by somebody of a progressive mind and humor. They assert that a change Is necessary in the Interests of the party and its plans to recover eontrol. Mr. Murphy, on his side, is attacked by many democrats on old scores. They regard him as unfit to exercise so much influence, and declare that unless he is deposed, at least from his place in state afTafrs. the party will go to defeat in i the city race next fall and in the state j race next year. Of course. Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy, being fighting men. are now In lighting mood. Tliey differ with their critics radi cally nboiit their merits and value. If j j they are deposed it will be only after a tussle. There is music in the air. and it is filling the air from Buffulo to the Battery. But if the two bosses are bested, neither will desert. They are old soldiers, not liking a beating at all. but with experi ence In the matter of punishment. Mr. Barnes could not become a democrat nor a bull moose if he tried, nor Mr. Murphy a republican. Politically, they are fix tures. But it" displaced as leaders, it will j . be interesting lo observe how they carry | themselves us privates in the ranks.

"Speaking of those campaign funds " "Let us not do so,*" replied the man who had subscribed. "There Is no use i of looking last year's band wagon in 1 the. taximeter." The Beat Influence. "V?"ere you a buJI or a bear the last time you were in the market?" asked the jestful cttlr.en. "Neither." replied Uu; man who makes things go his way. "1 was the animal trainer." Clyde Corntossel talked about split ting an infinitive in such a despairing way that his parents thought an inflni- j tire must be some kind of stove wood, j I Autocrat Ignored. Oh, wherefore yearn for power vast? The umpire'* word is always last; And yet. amid the strife so grim Nobody says "Hooray" for him. Dangerous Error. "There you are again." said the editor, holding up the paper; "getting us into another libel suit?" "What have I done?" asked the head line artist." "You make us say "The queen has put her foot down in the Tango.' " "Dear me! That should have been 'on.' not in'! " Frequent Mistake. "That man seems to think he is the voice of the people," said the carping observer. * "He does," replied Senator Sorghum, "when, as a matter of fact, he's only one of the people with a voice." The Stock Theme. "I understand that McRoodles and his wife get on very well together," said the village gossip. "Yes. And he Is worried to death about it." "T cas't see why." "He Is a professional humorist. And how can a man be a professional humorist without writing about family troubles?" The Uncertain Public. "Oh, fellow citizens!" he said, And then he paused and coughed. The eager crowd he saw with dread. With cheers their hats they doffed. "Oh, fellow citizens!" he cried. And then the brilliant lot Of talk he had In private tried Was totally forgot. His mind was playing pranks with him. A story smart, though old, Kept rising like a specter grim And begging to be told. In desperation he brought out That ancient bit of fun, Nor entertained the slightest doubt That soon he'd have to run. But at the close his audience Applauded with great glee. And some remarked, "his homely sense Is what appeals to me!" He was their pride, until one day He tried to win renown For thoughts in serious array. And then they turned him down. Looking Both Ways. From the Springfield Republican. What a strenuous world it is coming to be is shown by the campaign In Washington to have the public schools teach the art of crossing a street without getting run over. There is a new association with a "reach and teach" slogan, which has set itself to spread the "gospel of caution." Its creed is. "Train the children in mak ing the streets safe, and a generation from now street safety will be taken as a matter of course." But "street safety" seems to mean skill in evading street dangers. Women interested in the movement are to visit all the schools in the District of Columbia, making ten-minute talks and leaving cards of admonition to be distributed. They will also "reach and teach" the parents. In addition the teachers are giving in struction. and in some eases object les sons. showing the pupils how to choose the right moment and to look both ways. On every desk is a blotter with a list of "Don'ts." and some of the chil dren are writing compositions on the art of dodging automobiles and trol ley cars?an elaborate science of strat egy and tactics may be expected to result. The Boy Scouts are making a special study of street safety, and those who successfully pass an exam ination in the subject will be set to instructing the less expert. Ways have been found to reach and teach at least 10.000 of the 66.000 children in the schools of the District, and the rest will be looked out for as rapidly as possible. Sensible Action at Last. From the New York Timed. The rearrest and return to Holloway Jail of Mrs. Pankhurst, who tried to starve herself and was released on "license" before her term had expired, is the first clear indication we have seen that the British home office is at last awake to the necessity of dealing with the militant suffragettes with more than a show of severity. If this mob leader is now treated in prison as ordinary offenders are treated, if the publication of dally bulletins from her Is prohibited, if she Is not permitted to send incendiary letters to her ac complices. we may be assured that the end of militancy is in sight.
