NO WONDER IT GROWS:
Elements which Have Contributed to

Elements which Have Contributed TO
the Success of The Times.
That The Times is above all other papers
the newspaper of the people Of the District
of Columbia is again demonstrated by the
remarkable Increase of circulation curing
the past week shown in the attached state
meut. Advertisers who have during the
past year made contracts with The Times
on the basis of the circulation which it
had 1t the time made, are continually reap
tug the benefits of It's steady and astound-
ing growth.
There are excellent reasons for this IN
crease in popularity which The Times has
enjoyed II has continued to speak hon
estIy, openly and fairly on every public
question. Its detractors and enemies are
only those whose selfish interests have been
attacked for the public good.
The experim cut, absolutely unique In
Journalism, of publishing a sixteen page
paper in two parts for less than the price
of any other one Washington newspaper has
been wonderful success. The news OF
the Gay is delivered fresh from the presses
and reaches readers within one TO twelve
hours OF its occurrence. and is always Just
twelve ho5rs ahead of its competitors. No
wonder The Times grows.

1t was rightly claimed last winter that
unemployed members of organized labor
and their families were not permitted to
suffer deprivation. This creditable CON-
dition of labor affairs was due to the
facilities organized efforts provide 10

furnishes an unanswerabie argument in
favor nf a more thorough organization Of
wage-earnerS.

WHERE is a whole parcel af members
who are whisperingly expressing the
belief that eX-Secretary OF the Navy
Whitney may modify his views as Ia be-
coming candidate for the Democratic
Presidential nomination.
The reascn for this sudden and unex-
pected charge is said to be found in the
ia ct that the ex-Secretary win soon
marry young girl who was a schoolmate
of his daughter, Pauline. He would like
to be President for her sweet sake, IL for
no .dher reason. He is rich enough to
spend a small fortune as a candidate,

temperament, and this fact was
made self-cvident when lie walked into the
Speakers lobby the other morning and
looked at the big weather map hanging on
the wall and discovered that the tag here
tofore allotted TO San Diego was missing.
Mr.. Bowers turned himself loose and
hunted up the man in Charge OF the map
and was Informed that San Diego had been
0rODDed IN tne interest OF economy. 1ne
expenses of obtaining reports was heavy,
and it was thought by the powers that be
that this point could be omitted with PER
feet safety. But the officials had not
taken Mr.. Bowers into their calculations.
He Immediately boarded n grip car and
| hastened out TO the Weather Bureau, COM
posing a little address on his way.
He told those in charge that il was not
| q question of expense, but of envy. He
said that when his associates upon the floor
who were less fortunately situated geo
graphically looked at the map in the lobby
and saw billiards. snow storms. cold waves
and all sorts of unpleasant atmospheric
conditions existing in other cities, then
glanced at the tag assigned to San Diego
and saw that the temperature was about

H. i forwarded 10 the appraiser, who
files IL i'm his Office. Tie merchant
GOES back to his office and sends his
drayman for the goods. GA the lat
tpr's appea rance at the appraisers
office Mr.. Fishel examines the per
init to discharge, duplicate invoices
and other data at his command
and then and there decides II he
wishes TO examine any of the pack
ages. In the case of reputable white
merchants of known standing this l.
seldom done, but with Chinese and
Japanese one or more cases are al
ways opened. We will presume that
while the writer was talking TO the
appraiser q draym man presents an order
for fifty cases of drygOOds consigned
to a certain Japanese firm. Mr.. Fishel
goes into the warehouse, where the
consignment is piled up by itself.
Casting his eyes rapidly over the
boxes, he says, "Take this, and that,
and this" and go on, until he mas
picked out five or ten boxes or more.
His assistants take the boxes he has
selected to the elevator, where they
are sent up TO the appraisers room,
and are seen no more until they nave
BEEN opened and examined. The
Custom House storekeeper then gets
an order from the appraiser to deliver
the rest OF the consignment TO the
drayman. When the appraiser has
finished examining the packages sent
upstairs, the merchant Is notified and
gets his goods. He generally gets a
supplementary bill for duties on goods
found In the cases, not entered on the
Invoices or undervalued therein. To
this is added % per cent. as fine for
not making q correct entry. This
must be paid before the goods are al
lowed to leave. It is needless to say
that il is always paid; sometimes
with more or less kicking.

4 single box: Seven yards OF flannel

lean figures, four dOZ. handkerchiefs
twice that amount, tive pieces cotton
goods to ten, and seven dOz. shirts TO
uine. The difference between the ap.
praiser's and importers figures IN this
Dne box was $2l.61 In favor OF the
former. Another case invOiced as con-
taiuiug five hundred and thirty books
at ten per cent. was found to contain
six hundred and eighty-fnur war pic
lures, dutiable at twenty five per cent.
In another case was found nineteen
doz. table covers, one hundred pack
ages of medicine. eighteen cups and
five doz. soap, not invOiced at all.
Mating, forty yards to the roll, is
dutiable at 81 90 TO the roll. Seven
rolls measured by Mr Fizhel developed
five hundred aud twenty yards, or
nearly thirteen rolls.
And so the list might be continued,
but enough has been said to snow
the necessity of examining every
package coming from the Orient, aud
this is evidently the view OF Minister
Damon who will increase the force at
Mr.. Fishel's command on the first OF
the month. 1t is a source OF much
qualification to the new appraiser to be
able to report that his office Is more
than self-sustainiug. He has made
over 500 in duties for the Government
in a moruing's work, aud over $3.50

he has only three japanese assistants
but with more help he will be able to
open more boxes and collect more
