The Washington Post publishes a COM
munication from Mr.. Hallet Kilbourn COM
menting on what he deems 1.-The remark
able fact that in the proceedings of the
recent centennial celebration the name of
Governor Alexander r. Shepherd was not
mentioned Mr.. Kilbourn says:
But for the remarkable administrative
genius of Governor Shepherd the city of
Washington would have been in no con-
dition for yesterdays celebration. He ac-
complished more for the Advancement of
the material prosperity of the District of
Columbia than would have been accom-
nlished under the city government which
he succeeded. He inaugurated the COM
prehensive plan of public improvements
and advanced so far that his successors
in the district government were compelled
TO complete them. The Nations attractive
capital city of to-day is due more TO the
administrative genius of Governor Shepherd
thar to. any other living
Mr.. Kilbourn, who. by the way, is an
Indiana man, though a longtime resident
of Washington, does no more than justice
TO Mr.. Shepherd, TO whom more than TO any
other person the beauty of modern Wash
ington is due. He has lived down the
abuse to which he was formerly subjected.
and the time may yet come when his in
calculable services TO the city of Washing
ton will be c-ommemorated in some suitable
way. For many years past MIR. Shepherd
has been conducting successful mining
operations in Mexico.

THE MENACE OF MONEY.

Senator Money has given notice tina I'M
less he is given opportunity to express his
views regarding the Ha~y-Pauncefote
treaty he Will prevent a vote before the
recess by hlibustering. Mr.. Money was in
the House seven terms before he was ap-
pointed to the Senate; if. during that
period. he gave utterance to an idea of
sufficient Importance to attract attention 1t
cannot be recalled. Now this man, three
years in the Senate. threatens TO hold
up that body If he is not permitted TO ex-
press his opinions at length. He remarked
that If any attempt was made to drive him
to vote he would occupy all the time until
the recess.
Unfortunately. the usages OF the Senate
make Il possible for Mr.. Money to make
good his threat. To such little men IT is
not OF the slightest consequence whether
they declaim to empty benches or to seats

~sylvania will become the Empire State of
the Union soon, as it was at first" He
was correct as far as New York is con-
cerned. The censuses of 1870 and 1900 both
gave Pennsylvania a larger population
than New York. and in the presidential
election of 1904 Pennsylvania had twenty
electoral votes TO New York's nineteen.
At the same time, however, under the two
censuses named Virginia led both of the
other States in population. very consider
ably. By 1910 New York had passed both
of the other States and has maintained her
lead ever since. Mr.. Carnegie thinks that
the growth OF her mining and manufacture
ing interests will place Pennsylvania ahead
by the next census.

Russell Sage is certain that thrift is
the one thing which will save the world.
Thrift is an excellent thing If not carried
to extremes, as Mr.. Sage is reported to
do. If all were as thrifty as Mr.. Sage more
people would be in idleness and want than
now are. If all men should hoard all they
earn except the small portion necessary
to purchase food and cheap clothing, they
would fill the savings banks with deposits,
but what would become of those employed
in the production of goods which such men
as Mr.. Sage regard as unnecessary? A
few men in a community can get rich by
practicing thrift of the Sage brand, but,
if a community should try it. half the peo-
pie would be without employment in a
year and there would be nc enterprise for
the employment of the savings of such
thrift. If the penurious thrift of which
Mr.. Sage speaks should be practiced the
Christmas trade would vanish because the
motto of such thrift is save all you can,
spend not a cent that is not absolutely
necessary to spend" Such a policy would
impoverish a people. 1t would Danish the
prosperity based upon business activity.

SORROW Is but for a Day

Let US dream-let US sing by the way;
SORROW is but for a dayI'
The world is rolling beneath the blue
With ever the sweetest songs for you,
And answered shall be the prayers we pray;
Sorrow Is but for a day!'
The rivers in music say:
Sorrow is but for a day.
The hills and the rills the song repeat
To the listening violets at your feet.
And the high stars sing on their heavenly way:
Sorrow is but for a day.
1t is but for a day-for a day;
1t will fade-it will vanish away;
And over the darkest, the thorniest sod.
We shall reap in the beautiful lilies OF God.
And the wearisome winters shall blossom like
May
Sorrow is but for a day."

Devils Tales by Virginia Frazer
Boyle. is one of the delightful books pub
lished this season. 1t is a collection OF
short stories of the South, and strikingly
sets forth the strong vein of superstition
so prominent a Characteristic OF the coll
ored race. The authors remarkable in
sight into and sympathy with these peo-
pie gives the stories a finish ana delicacy
OF touch which comes only with absolute
knowledge and mastery OF the subject
handled. At times they are almost
creepy and the author is ably assisted
in the weird impression she creates by the
graphic drawings of Mr.. Frost. which are
as delightful and sympathetic TO the text
as his work always is. The buck is most
attractively gotten up. and is one of the
best OF the Christmas season. Published

are addressed directly to Mr.. Hinnisy. they
are caught verbatim by that delightful

well worth reading that IL is a pity TO spoil

character of Bess Lukens, the handsome.

official usefulness is impaired. The work
of Secretary Hay has been so important
