REMEDIES RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED

EDITOR TIMES: Your editorials have much TO
say about the trust scandals in the Senate and
little 20 propose TO remedy them Where are
you at? Yours briefly, A READER
The TINES, together with many citizens OF
this Republic, scarcely knew where it was at
when the trust tariff bill was actually forced
down the country's throat by the corporation
attorneys in the Senate. But it ventures to
suggest two remedies:
The SELECTION OF BUSINESS MEN FoR Cox
GREssIoNAL NOMINEES.
TIE ELECTION OF SENATORS BY THE PEOPLE.
The REGULATION OF TARIFF LAWS By A NON
PARTISAN COMMISSION OF PROMINENT BUSINESS
aKN AND REPRESENTATIVE LABOR LEADERS.
The first would do away with the shyster
politician. 1t would save the country the
big fees which Its industries pay TO many Of
the lawyer Legislators. Ii would lessen the
after cost of lending ear TO campaign-stump
rhetoric.
The second would preserve the character OF
the Senate as safety valve for too radical leg
islation, and yet make il responsible 10 the
voters OF the States, rather than to the legis-
lature or party convention lobbies of the
States.
The third would put the custodianship Of
the tariff in the hands Of men who under
stand the issues involved, because business
and not politics is their trade.
II would seem that the first remedy, were
it applied. would render the last unnecessary,
but it is not so. Even in Congress of bust
ness men the party line would have TO be
drawn. But the tariff question is not polit-
ical question. 1t is question that concerns
manufacturers, workingmen, wholesalers and
retailers. II is not a move TO take the
tariff out the law-making power Of Congress;
il is merely to have Congress bestow
the committee function on men who
thoroughly understand the subject and who
are not answerable 10 party whips for any
reports they may make-men who viii work
under the eyes of the country instead of be-
hind the doors of Capitol committee rooms
This. Reader, is where TIE TIMES is at on
the trust scandals.

THEY WERE MADE HAPPY.

Mrs. Annie b. Wise and E. c. Stubs Re.
ceive Their Prizss.in the Times Contest
Yesterday morning shortly after II O'Clock
gOod-lOoking young lady walked up TO the
counter Of The TINES business ONCE and an
nounced herself as Mrs. annie B Wise, of 1I5 E
street northeast, the winner Of TIE TINES SIS
prize for the successful guesser Of the time Con-
gress would adjourn Mrs. Wise having properly
identified herself the money was paid her
Mrs. Wise was asked how sEe managed 20 hg-
ure out the exact time OF adjournment My
husband, who is employed in the Pension Ofiics,
and J. she said, worked together knew when
the time expired IN which the biz would either
he -0Tne a law or be vetoed and We felt certain
that il would not be vetoed. We then decided
that the SESSION would ciCse the following day,
and within an hour or two after the regular
meeting time. And in this way We put the hour
at , o'clock"

Mo- said Mrs Wise, laughingly, II won

tiOn cont ast.
While Mrs Wise was talking Mr. z {. Stubbs,
the second prize winner. entered the Office Mr.
Stubbs is first assistant engineer at the Senate.
Probably the Senatorial air which he breathes
was In his favor. although Mr.. Stubbs arrived at
the result through a process Of reasoning very
similar % that employed by Mrs Wise.
Both Mrs Wise and SIR. Stubbs went AZ
feeling happy.

THE KNIGHTS DRILL.

There is a utilitarian side 10 the military
organization of the Uniform Rank OF the
knights OF Pythias. The prize drill was a
thing Of beauty, but it also has national
value.
Tens OF thousands Of trained officers and
soldiers could go to war from the ranks Of
the Knights if the country were in danger.
The drills which were presented yester-
day showed the greatest perfection in army
tactics and signify that the friendship, be-
nevolence and charity Of the order is guarded
by muscle and steel and orderly precision Of
movement national peril would endanger
these principles and we have, then, in the
Uniformed Rank, &. of P, a national bull

SUPREME LODGE SESSION.
Important Reports-Probable Succession
of Supreme Chancellor Blackwell.


Important Reports-Probable Succession
of Supreme Chancellor Blackwell.
The second session of the Supreme Lodge,
Knights of Pythias, was held at the Builders
Exchange yesterday morning. The session was
convened shortly after 10 o'clock and some
minor business transacted. Very little, how
ever, of any Importance was done Nearly all
the members were present, and six delegates
who arrived yesterday entered on the role, and
were instructed in their duties
Several important reports, which viii be made
public to-day, were presented, and at noon the
session adjourned in order TO give the members
an opportunity TO see the dress parade OF Base
ball Park.
TO discuss the election of officers which viii take
place tomorrow 1t is very difficult TO predict,
however, who these will be, as there are so many
dark horses and few of the delegates seem 10
have made up their minds as 10 who they want
elected.
1t is almost generally conceded that Supreme
Vice Chancellor Walter b. Richie, of Lima, Ohio,
will be elected supreme chancellor 10 succeed
the present occupant of that oflce, Mr. W. W.
Blackwell Many Of the delegates, while they
would not express any opinion 10 the prob
able outcome, declared that il would be dficult
TO elect man who would serve the interest of
order with the same faithfulness that had char
actsrized the work of Mr. Blackwell From the
expressions of opinions heard all sides his
outgoing seems TO be deeply regetted.
Joseph H. Lyons, Of LeayenwOrth, Kan, and
P. T. Colgroye, of Hastings, Mich, are each
named as the probable Successors TO Mr.. Richie.
If anything, there is more doubt 10 the
ing election Of the vice chancellor than as TO
that of his superior officer.
II is said that il: jealous in the cause, very
nearly always the vice chancellor attains the
higher Office in the course of time, civil service
methods being good deal truer in the Pythian
order than in ordinary politics The session to-
day, which begins at TO- will he one of the most
important OF the present convention. The re-
port on the liquor question viii be made public
and other very important business transacted

LETTER OF REPRIMAND.

MIR. Herbert Stops Passed Assistant Eugi-

staff of the Navy, which has become particUl-
IarIy rancorus since the strenuous efforts pus
forth by The former 10 secure the passage OF tbs
Meyer reorganization bill, which bears very
hard upon the staff.
The latest manifestation of this is sharp let

articles for service magazine, waich aroused
