PURE MILK FOR WASHINGTON.
An Organized Effort to Supply SAM.

On another page of The Star today will
be seen an article regarding the new milk
company that has been organized to carry
out the recommended tions of the health Of
ficer. 1t will be seen that the Ashburn
Company has purchased a 2,OCO-acre farm
in the rich dairy region of Virginia and put
in herd of several hundred high-bred
milch cows, conducting the enterprise upon
sanitary principles in every detail, feeding
the cows the right food, giving them pure
water, pumped from 300 feet beneath the
surface. to drink. having the stables thor
oughly clean, the mlkmen in white jackets,
and finally purifying the milk by a special
process, sending it to Washington in sealed
cans to be delivered in glass bottles.
Senator William NJ Stewart has been Sc
lected as the president of the company. The
senator was brought up on a farm and
takes a personal interest in the conduct of
the great milk farm at Ashburn. His in

WILL NOT APPEAL.
Com ssiOners Decide to Abide by De-

Commits siOners Decide to Abide by De-
cisiOn In Tax Law.
The District Commissioners have decided
not to take an appeal from the decision Of
Justice Clabaugh of the District Supreme
Court, who handed down decision holding
that the present personal tax law is de-
fective and cannot be enforced. The Com
missioners discussed the matter in board
session, and unanimously agreed to let the
decision of the court stand without at
tempting to overthrow it i'll a higher tribu-
nal.
The Commissioners were disposed to drop
the matter, in view of the fact that the
Senate committee the District Of Column
bia has already instructed the District as
SCISSOR to prepare the draft of a new per-
sonal tax law which would be effective. 1t
is assumed that legislation on the subject
will be had during the present session of
Congress. 1t would require several months
to get decision on an appeal from JUS
tice Clabaugh. and by that time a new law
may be in operation. Even If an appeal
were made it Is very doubtful If a conclu-
sion other than that expressed by the lower
court would be reached in the Court Of Ap-
peals
Mr. Hopewell H. Darneille the District
assessor, is at present at work on the pro-
posed new personal tax law, and hopes to
have it ready for presentation to the Dis
trict Senate committee soon after Congress
recOnveneS next month.

The "New Woman

Cardinal Gibbons in the Ladies' Home Journal.
LAS have said before, regard woman g
rights women and the leaders in the new
school of female progress as the worst enc
mics Of the female sex. They teach that
which robs woman Of all that is amiable
and gentle. tender and attractive, and
which gives her nothing in return but mas
culine boldness and brazen effrontery.
While processing to emancipate her from
domestic servitude,. they are making her
the slave of her own caprices and passions
She never feels at home except when
abroad. When she is at home, home is
irksome to her. She chafes and frets un-
der the restraint and responsibility of do
mestic life. Her heart is abroad. 1t is ex-
ulting in Imagination, in some social tri-
umph, or reveling in some scene of gayety
and dissipation. Her husband comes to his
home to find it empty, or occupied by one
whose heart is void of affection for him.
Then arise disputes, quarrels, recrimina-
tions, arrangements, and the last act in the
drama is often divorce. 1 speak the sober
truth when 1 affirm that for the wrecks of
families in our country, woman has large
share Of the responsibility.

Feed Shortage.
Fortunate is he who possesses an automo-

THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Pittsburg People Still Hopeful That 1t
Will Be Made I'm This Country.

PittsburE People Still Hopeful That 1t
Will Be Made I'm This Country.
From the Pittsburg Post.
There is just a chance that the contract
for the making of the proposed Pacific
cable. to give the United States direct COM
munication with Hawaii and the Philip
pines, will be secured by American manu-
facturers. and the fact that the Standard
Underground Cable Company of Pittsburg
is directly interested in the project gives
the subject a decidedly local tinge
During the past week the Pacific Cable
Company. which proposed to build a cable
ment subsidy, and later to carry the cable
through to the Philippines, formally with
drew its application for franchise from
the government under such a provision
and the president Of the company James
A. Scrymser, has notified the committees
in Congress of the decision Of the company.
This action on the part of the Pacific
Cable Company leaves the coast clear for
an entirely new movement in the cable
building. The Mackay syndicate, which
proposed to build a cable over the same
route and to do SO Independent of the gov
ernment. has not as yet received its neces-
sary landing rights. 1t Is a question now
II these rights will be, granted without a
distinct understanding that the syndicate
shall have the cable made in America, or
else be forced to pay duty on an imported
be on American territory.
Officials of the Standard Underground
Cable Company in Pittsburg express the
opinion that the Mackay syndicate would
undoubtedly have cable made in England
for this American roate If it secured the
necessary landing rights. 1t would also
mean almost a certain abandonment of the
project of building a government cable to
the Philippines, and would prevent the de-
velopment of one of the greatest Industries
In the country.
1t was argued. however, that the contract
for the building Of such a cable as pro-
posed would mean the expenditure of S25-
100000 In America, employment OF thou
sands Of men, the consumption of tons and
tons Of cotton and other products of the
country, well as the manufacture of
thousands OF miles Of copper wire.
American manufacturers naturally want
to have every possibility afforded them to
make this cable. 1t would be the first one
of any Importance to be made in America,
and would keep the cable companies busy
for at least two years. The claim is also
made that the American cables would be
found to be better made than those now in
use, and whether built by private subsi-
died companies, by the government or by
company acting independent Of the gov
ernment subsidies, the cables would be
found to be more economical and would
last longer.
