his cattle in Canada and then driving
them across the line without going

HAVE K THEIR CUE.

IT imitation is the %sincerest fatter,
, then. President Roosevelt must con
slider himself ~irredeemably indebted
to the secretary of the interior and
the secretary of agriculture. Both OF
these gentlemen have suddenly found
out what a grand thing reclamation of
the arid lands of the west would be
for the entire nation. Particularly
startling and complete is the awaken
ing of Mr.. Hitchcock and in the vehem
ence of his advocacy of irrigation he
seems to be at a loss for words to
adequately express himself and even
in a measure convey his sentiments and
opinions on a subject with which just
now he is overwhelmed. So great
are the benefits to be derived from re-
claiming the arid west that he goes
to the extent of suggesting that the
limit OF one mans possessions under
the law should be cut down from the
present generous amount and restrict
those who may hereafter seek to be-
come owners of land to a modest 40 or
80 acres. With the now waste waters
OF the west conserved so as to become
the landmarks of the honest tillers of
the soil he thinks n man, no matter
how ambitious or avericious. should
be satisfied with the modicum of land
he recommends as the limit beyond
which no n should ask to be possess
ed. And he means it, every word. It
is possible that the secretary of the
interior may have thought all along
as he now thinks, but he %refrained
from giving voice to his thoughts I'M
til some one higher in authority had
broken the dense silence which has
heretofore prevailed at the national
capital on the subject with which he
is now filled to the danger point. But
that silence once broken, no man can
talk louder or more earnestly than he
and nobody can be found who will give
a heartier second to the presidents
proposition than the gentleman who
now has the floor. He was only wait
ing for the right time and opportunity
to let his voice be heard and from
now on he may always be reckoned
to lead the chorus whose song
shall be reclamation of the arid west.
only that, but he will also become
leader Of the populace and dare to (,
combat any man who shall |
raise his voice in opposition. Y

doubt or misgivings the president
may have had when he allowed it to
known that he was for irrigation a

PUBLICITY FOR TRUSTS.

Omaha Bee: Forecasts of Presi
dent R~oosevelt's message state tha1
his attitude or the trust question will
appeal to the popular feeling in re
gard to the combinations and while he
will recommend no specific action by
congress, he will go at least as fal
as he did when governor of New York
and insist on publicity in the opera.
tions of combinations of capital. How
this publicity and supervision are to
be maintained he will leave to the
supervision Of congress-. 1t is said
that influential members of congress
have endeavored to dissuade the pres
ldent from an aggressive attitude as
to trusts, but SO far as can be learned
ne a put a good deal of force in the
paragraph dealing with industrial com
b%inations and has handled the subject
vigorously.
In his message to the New York
legislature in January, 1900, Mr..
Roosevelt said: THAT abuses exist
and that they are of a very grave char
acter it is worse than idle to denv.
Just SO long as in the business world
INSCRIPTIONS cunning is allowed the
free rein which, thanks to the growth
OF humanity during the past centuries,
We now deny to INSCRIPTIONS physical
force. then just SO long there will be a
field for the best effort of every hon
est social and civic reformer who is
capable of feeling an impulse of gen
erous Indignation, and who is far
sighted enough to appreciate where the
real danger to the country lies. The
effects are bad enough when the un.
scrupulous individual works by him
self. They are worse when he works
in conjunction with his fellows
through a giant corporation or trust,
The first essential is knowledge of the
facts-publicity. We should know au-
t~horitatively whether stock represents
the actual value Of plants, or whether
it represents brands or good will: or.
II not, what it does represent, if any
thing. 1t is desirable to know how
much was actually bought, how much
was issued free and to whom, and, if
possible, for what reason"
IN subsequent u%tterances regarding |
the Industrial combinations, Mr..
Roosevelt has urged the idea of pub
licity, as perhaps the most essential
element of any legislation dealing
with trusts. This view is very gener-
ally approved. James B. Dill of New
York, who has served as legal adviser
several large trusts said recently
that publicity would rebound not
only to the benefit of the public. to the
steadying of Industrial finances, to
The making of industrial securities a
investment for holders.
large and small, but would also pre-
vent the formation of blind pools, in
1ustrial swindles and tend to avert
financial panics." It is very generally
recognized that to secure the same
standard of publicity Ill ne reports of
the great corporations state legis-
alton is inadequate, since it is entire
" hopeless to expect it to be practi-
eally uniform. Consequently in order
% secure publicity there must be ma
lonal legislation and no more timely
service can be done by President
roosevelt than to impress on con-
sress the necessity Of legislation with
his end primarily in view.

d Speaking under the impulse of o,
reverence and affection, we shoul
say that the matter of greatest col
n Germ, in respect of Hackett, is til
r ability of the cpachman to transpol
e his chief in safety from residence t
office, or otherwise; to steer hi1
through the tempestuous crowds G
ash carts, herdics, lunch wagons, etc
and bring his priceless person to an
goal to which fortune, caprice, duty
, or unyielding circumstance may hav
consigned him. Giving way to GU
emotions, we should ask nothing o
Hackett's coachman more than a thor
ough knowledge of his business.
But, at such a moment, with conse
quences SO vast depending on the is
sue, We can afford to take a purel,
practical survey of the field. Let III
admit that Hackett's coachman is {
good enough driver; how do we know
that Hackett. could not get a college
graduate equally proficient on the
box? We have had abundant evidence
to the effect that an alumnus of one
OF our best universities would have
been of great service to Hackett in the
composition Of some of his official
documents-the rebuke of Admiral
Evans. for example. There is no rea-
son why proficiency in English, math-
ematlcs, the classics, and so on should
not go hand-in-hand with high-class
%all-around horsemanship-quite the
contrary. Why, then, exempt from the
civil service examination an employe
OF such vast possibilities Of usefulness,
while the most ordinary clerks are re-
quired to exhibit familiarity with the
character of Chimborazo and the ira
jectory of the leonids? We yield to
none in passionate attachment to
Hackett and profound anxiety for his
p~erpetuation. In default of an accept
able alternative, we should assent to
the employment of a really capable
gorilla as his coachman-anything to
keep him in our midst. But we must
think of Professor Proctor's feelings.
We must consider Professor Foulke-
it is not Ffoulks, we understand: at
least not yet-who has just Joined the
commission and for whose, opinion in
a matter of such moment the very
largest allowance should be made,
. IT cnn7nc fo nc =, coa4 l1--
ton in this matter has been precipi-
tate. We see that President Roose-
welt has approved the resolution, but
how do we know that, amidst the
tempestuous howlings of the office
seekers, he really took time to think
it over? No doubt he trusted to Proc
tor, just as Proctor, in his turn
subordinated all other considerations
that of Hackett's safety. Never
theless, we insist that there has been
haste. We stand in the front
rank OF those who demand that Hack
EFT shall be conveyed from place to
place without spilling a single drop,
but we believe, also, that the civil SER
vice commission could easily have pro-
lded hin with a thoroughly compel
ent driver who, at the same time. was
with Greek roots and capable,
times, of giving Hackett much
needed hints in English grammar and
happy choice of words.
Now that Professor Proctor has
Foulke to help him, he
should guess again.

Considerable Business Transacted mt
Their AssOciatiOn's Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting Of the East
End Suburban Citizens Association was
held last night at 10Th and H streets and
was well attended. President VIM. H.
Ernest presided.
Mr.. Talbert, chairman of the committee
on police, fire and lights, stated that he
had talked with Lieutenant Daley concern
ing the assignment of eight more officers to
the ninth precinct, but that the matter had
not been brought directly to the attention
of the Commissioners on account of the
fact that since the recent complaint filed
by the association in reference to noisy
crowds coming in from Chesapeake juno
tion there had been a marked improve
ment in the order of that section of the
District. Lieutenant Daley, however had
spoken encouragingly of the prospect of
obtaining an increase in the force.
Professor J. H. Voorhees, principal of the
Benning public schools, reported through
Mr.. Talbert that the people Of that suburb
desired to work with the association for
the accomplishment of the objects 1t had in
view. vote was taken declaring that
the association would welcome the people
of Benning. and Kenilworth as members
Of the organization. and that their aid in
any direction would be appreciated.
Consideration of the constitution was
postponed until the next meeting and the
question of turning old Graceland cemetery
into a public park was taken up. Rev. Dr.
George G. Markham favored acquisition
of the entire tract embraced in the ceme-
terry property for the purpose of establish
ing a park. The northeast section, he said
was greatly deficient in this respect Other
sections had parks, but the northeast has
really but one namely, Stanton Park.
Further consideration of the subject was
deferred until the next meeting.
The secretary presented a number of
maps, showing. the streets which the asso-
citation will ask to have opened, namely,
r, from 2Sth to Bladensburg road: Mary
land avenue, from 18th and H to 26th and
NJ, and 2Sth street from Benning road to
Bladensburg road A letter from Anton
Karl was read by the secretary, giving in
formation to the title of certain prop
erty in the territory desired. Mr.. Karl
who represents the engineer department of
the District, said that the names of Hall
and Holden as owners of the tract in uues-
tion do not appear upon the books of the
assessor, and neither does that of W. W.
Seaton, the name of the real owner ap-
pearing to be Josephine Davis The asso-
citation was urged by President Ernest to
take an active interest in the street ex-
tension question and to do all in their
power to secure from owners of property
through which the streets and avenues
would pass donations of ground for that
purpose

KNOWLEDGE OF FOOD.
PROPER SELECTION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
IN SUMMER

The feeding Of infants is a very serious propo-
sition, all mothers know. Food must be used
that will easily digest or the undigested parts
Will be thrown into the intestines and cause sick
1t Is important to know that food can be
obtained that Is always safe; that is Grape Nuts.
mother writes: MY baby took the first
premium at a baby show the Sth inst, and Is
In every way prize baby. l have fed him on
Grape-Nuts since he nve months old. l also
use your Postum Food Coffee for myself" Mrs.
l.. +. Fishback. Alvin. Tex.
Grape-Nuts food is not made solely for baby
food by any MEANS but Is manufactured for all
human beings who have trihing or serious didi-
cuties in the stomach and bowels.
One especial point Of value is that the food is
predfgested In the process Of manufacture, not by
any drugs or chemicals whatsoever, but simply
by the action Of heat moisture and time, which
permits the dastase to grow and change the starch
into grape-sugar. This presents food to the sys-
tenn ready for immediate assimilation.
Its especial value M a food beyond the fact that
II is easily digested Is that 1t supplies the needed
elements to quickly rebuild the cells In the brain
and nerve centers throughout the body.
