JAPAN To ESTABLISH
A TOBACCO MONOPOLY
American and British Capitalists Oppose
the Plan.

LONDON. Nov. 26.-A dispatch from
Tokyo to the Daily Mail" says the
government will introduce in the diet
next month a bill creating q tobacco
monopoly somewhat similar 10 the gov
eminent monopoly in France.
It is proposed to appropriate 36,0o0,00O
yen to buy out eompulsorily the manu-
facturers at the appraised value OF their
lands, buildings, stocks and machinery.
while only a years income will be paid
for their good will
IiIasmech as there are 5000 manufac-
turers and 700 leaf tobacco dealers in ia
pan. owning 1880 machines. traders re-
gard the appropriation as absurdly in
adequate.
a number of British and American
capitalists are interested in the matter.
IT is understood dispatches concerning
their protests are passing between Lon
don and Washington.

YEARS IMPROVEMENTS
CLAIM LOCAL THANKS
Municipal Progress Great
in Several Directions.
UNION STATION A CERTAINTY
Labor Market in Settled Condition and
Banks on Sure Foun-
dakion.

The year has brought much for which
the District of Columbia should be
thankful To be sure. its treasury hes
been mulcted out Of $4,000 by the pecu-
lations of a dishonest clerk. and the
administration of local affairs has been
held up to censure and criticism be-
cause Of subsequent investigation
But the general result. from which all
things must be computed. cannot but
be beneficial. and for this the people of
the District should be thankful
A year ago the condition of affairs in
the District Building was deplorabIe. al
Cough the mask of good government
had not then been penetrated. A house
cleaning was sadly needed, and tax
payers have reason to be grateful that
the fifth and cobwebs have been dis
covered and the soap and water Of a
sweeping investigation applied. The
even tenor of things has been restored.
and confidence in the administra ton is
being renewed.
The Union Station.
From an Industrial or commercial
point OF view, there Is greater cause
for general rejoicing. The Union Sta
ton has developed from a mere vision
to a possibility, a probability. and final
" a certainty. The permit for the mag
nincent terminal was issued yesterday.
and the work of construction will begin
forthwith. 1t is a worthy project. car
ried out along generous and pleasing
lines, and will be a source of pride TO
Neutrality-suspicious. for many generations
TO come.
The Municipal Building has also be-
come certainty. Its plans have been
completed and approved. and work on
the Pennsylvania Avenue site will De
inaugurated soon after New Year Day.
The wage scale for the building trades
has assumed comfortable proportions.
from the wage earners' point OF view.
Consequently the wage Garner is thank
ful, and the employer should be thank
ful that it is no worse. New structures
are going up in every portion of the
dent everywhere
Stability of Banks.
There can scarcely be a greater cause
for thanksgiving among the residents of
the District than that the local banking
institutions have weathered SO success
fully the recent financial storm that pre-
vailed throughout the country
Banking methods employed here are
admittedly more conservative and safer
than those OF any other city. Indus
trial enterprises and railroad schemes
are never financed by the local banks.
and the money of the depositor is as
secure asIhough il were in safe deposit
vaults. And itus the business interests
of the city may well rejoice that the
Washington banks felt not the slightest
effect OF the recent disturbances in the
financial world.

The Speaker Worried.

An ingenious although rather unscru-
pUlous correspondent at Terre Haute,
Ind, has been causing Speaker Cannon
some unnecessary annoyance by send
ing broadcast through the country for
publication in the newspapers at space
rates a story of the wedding ring which
Mr. Cannon presented TO his late wife
on. the day of their marriage. Accord
ing to the narrative of this imaginative
writer a short time after their wedding
thirty-odd years ago Mrs. Cannon called
at the Office of her husband H. Iuscola,
and while there accidentally dropped
her wedding ring in a waste-paper bas-
ket and that diligent search failed to
find IL Then this brilliant Hoosier lit
eTary Ananias proceeds TO describe with
graphic pen how the secret of the hiding
place Of the ring rem aimed unknown
until one day last week, almost coinci-
dental with Mr. Cannon's election to the
Speakership. when some workmea, while
excavating for an opera house founda-
ton. threw up spade full OF earth in
which slistened bit of gold Close in
vestgation revealed the fact that it was
n ring. and still closer inspection that
it was a long-lost wedding ring.
Nine-tenths of this story is pure In
diana fiction. As a matter of fact, the
late Mrs. Cannon did once lose her wed
ding ring. but il was subsequently re-
covered. The Incident however. hap
pened. not last week, -1Jt ten years ago
and was unattended b. any of the Pc
culiar features which che Terre Haute
writer described. Owing to the ten6e
memories which th- mention of the
wedding ring revives tie semt-sensa-
tional story sent Out from Terre Haute
has panied the Speaker and he declines
to discuss the matter further than 70
characterize the story OF the recent
discovery OF the ring as a fabrication.

Morgan Visits
Windy City

Chicago, Oct. 3O.--J. P. Morgan ar
rived in Chicago this morning, osten-
sibly to attend the horse show, but, in
reality, according to financial circles,
to see what progress had been made
in the deal that contemplates the alb
sorption of practically all the Chicago
traction lines by a syndicate which
Morgan heads. Following his usual
custom he left his car at an outlying
station, and was hurriedly driven to
the Chicago Club, where an impene.
trlble trocha was thrown around him.
Soon after Morgan's arrival an order
was sent to Springfield to forward i'm.
mcdiately the charter for the new
traction company, but it was too late
to catch the train. A special was i'm.
mediately ordered to bring the pack
age, which weighs less than two
ounces.

Breaking the Silence.

A little tot Of about five summers
held a place recently in one of the
United States supreme court seats
while the learned justices were hand
ing down their weighty decisions. The
court was the embodiment Of dignity,
80 much SO that it was almost Cypress
i've. The little girl fidgeted in her
place as the justices in monotonous
tones expounded fine points of law, and
she shook her head, adorned with a
big picture hat, in Impotence.
There came a pause. One justice
ceased to speak, as he had given forth
all he had to say on some important
litigation. The silence was thick
enough to be cut with knife, as they
sometimes say in the books. The mes
Senger by the noiseless folding doors
shifted from one foot to the other, the
throng Of lawyers within the bar wait
ed reathlessly for the next decision to
be announced. Still no justice spoke.

Crossing the Bar.

Tennyson's famous poem, Crossing
the Bar" was written, says the present
Lord Tennyson, in the poets eighty
first year, ION day in October when
we came from Aldworth to Earring
ford. Before reaching Farringford he
had had the moaning Of the bar in his
mind, and after dinner he showed me
the poem written out" 'That is the
crown Of your life's work. said his
son, who was the first man after the
poet to read Crossing the Bar" and
who passed the first criticism upon it
in such fitting and generous language.
ut came in moment" said the poet,
and he explained the pilot as the Di-
vine and Unseen who is always guild
ing us. A day or two before he died
the poet, calling his son to his bedside,
said. mind you put Crossing the Bar
at the end of all editions of my poems"

The Passing OF the Pie.

A word as to the causes of the dis
favor with which pie has come to be
regarded. Like other things, it kept
place by force Of tradition after its
special work was done, and, being al
ways q "hearty" dish, when the savory
piece of pie was added to the plenty Of
the prosperous table in the nature Of
things it proved the one straw too
much and broke down the digestion
already weakened by indoor life and
alright stoves.
The pie Is not as black as it has been
painted, having had to bear the load Of
many circumstances not it's own fault.
The Wand which has usurped its place
at dinner is not as blameless as it Is
commonly held to be. For children
eating no meat pudding may well be
dinner, but for grownups helping Of
pudding gives as much unnecessary
food value as did pie. 1t must be re-
membered in discussing pastry also
that it was in good hands not the
heavy, greasy kind SO often found to-
day. The early cooks attained great
skill III preparing light, faky "crusts"
The passing Of the pie is not to be re-
GREETED In view Of the greater abun-
dance of fresh food especially as the
making of the pie requires not only
skill, but time, and the baking Of the
pie In modern stoves is matter of
large experimentation Housekeeping
