Visitors TO Washington note the fact
that they are almost never given silver
dollars in change there. One may live
in that city SIX months without ever see
ing one of the big white dollars. The
banks do not keep them, and they are
rarely found in the tills of the shop
keepers. If any are brought in by Wis
itors they quickly find their way back
into the treasury. Washingtonians do
not take kindly to the cart-wheel dol
lars, and the absence of this sort of
money from circulation there is in mark
ed contrast to the West where one is
often given nothing but silver in change
for a So or $40 bill. Another popularity
in Washington is that the paper money
in circulation is nearly all clean and
crisp, fresh from the treasury. 1t is a
rare thing to get hold OF a dirty bill in
Washington.

President Roosevelt did wei 10 take
the advice OF the attorney general
and appoint resident OF New Mexico
to the vacant district judgeship in
that territory.
He gave great ofense to the people
of New Mexico when several months
ago he appointed citizen oil Micni-
gan to the vacant place, notwith-
standing the declared policy OF the re-
publican party in favor OF the appoint-
ment of residents TO public Offices IN

he selected having declined the ap
pointment, the way was opened for
the appointment OF New Mexico law
yer, and upon the urgent advice oi
Attorney General knox. the president
gave the appointment TO Mr. vii
liam II Pope of Santa Fe.
President Roosevelt should have Sc
