Records Show No Deductions.

A consultation OF the records OF the
department. suggested by Robinson,
led 70 the discovery that. In many
cases during the first week OF March,
no such reduction as described by Mer-
Ger had been made.
Mercer. who showed considerable ami
mostly against Robinson, admitted that
the contract specifications require that
the machine sWeepers shall remove the
dirt thoroughly from the roadways. He
could not say why practically the same
streets IN Southwest Washington had
been cleaned last winter three davs In
succession by both the machine sweep
ers and the hand sweepers.
Stutler took the stand 20 testify on
this, the most serious charge against
him. lie said It had been customary I'm
some cases for the untmproVed street
gang 20 help the machine sweepers
This occurred he said when the work
was too heavy for the machines
He could not remember that the un-
improved street gang had ever been put

and left by machine swceDers during

TAOGART'S PLANS
TO WIN SUCCESS

Tom Taggart, of Indiana. chairman of
the Democratic National Campaign
Committee. is perhaps the only poll
tician in this country who ever had the
audacity publicly TO denounce himself
as unuuthful.
And yet he did il when he was mayor
Of Indianapolis. ard. In doing 1t, he evok-
ed the admira ton OF the people of that
city and. incidentally. furnished an iE-
teresting sidehght TO the charac:c- OF
one Of the most picturesque political
leaders in the Union.
The incident Is vividly remembered By
politicians in Indiana. and is not yet
forgotten by many newspaper men
throughout the country. When Tagg1rt
was running for the Office of mayor CT
Indianapolis he made a promise which
he realized after his election, he could
not honorably redeem. He wasn't the
first man to be placed IN such Il posi-
ton. James A Garfield after he was
elected President, was confronted by a
similar problem. and he solved IT by
declaring that the moment a man is
elected to the Presidency of the United
States he becomes politically insolveut
and has the right to wipe the slate
clean. Taggart didn't go into the
philosophy of the thing as deeply as
Garfield had gone. but he reached d con-
ciuSion that was characteristic OF the
man
A delegation waited upon him at the
city hall in indianapolis and reminded
him Of his obligation. The spokesman
told him that he had promised a repre-
sentative OF a certain medical organiza
tion that certain things would be done
and that he was expected TO make
good.

Campaign Issues.

Il believe firmly in joint debates, no
matter how weak the debater on my
side may be OF how strong the other
fellow The thing the people want is
the truth, and the truth is mighty DOW
erful. no matter who presents IT, And
a falsehOOd is a feeble thing. no matter
how attractively it is told. Campaign
orators can't fool the people very long
The average voter is perfectly willing
10 listen TO argument He wants to rea-
son the thing out. and nine times In ten
he will decide right, and he will decide
for himself You can't force him But
he can be readily persuaded. The great
trouble with most campaigns is that the
issues are made up too short time be
fore the election Let the people thor
Oughly understand the issues, and they
VIII invariably reach the right conclu-
sion. That was the secret OF. the Demo-
cratic victory in 1892. We began two
years before the election to inform the
The Washington times., 1904-07-31
Charge No. 10.

The last charge. No. 10, was then
taken up. This asserts that Stutler. for
the purpose Of misleading the Commits
siOners. published false reports" as 10
the cost Of hand cleaning, which has
been In excess Of the limit named by
Congress In the acts authorizing such
work without contract"
In support Of this. Robinson submit
ted for the Commissioners consideTa-
tiOu figures and estimates he had pre-
pared on the matter. Some Of StutleT' 5
reports were also submitted.
The end OF the long session came just
at midnight, and IL was Sunday morn
ing when the Commissioners went out
OF the District Building.
The investigation had been completed
after a whole weeks work, during which
ten sessions were held. The ten-hour
session was held yesterday only after
Mr.. Macfarland had insisted on f.
II Is thought the decision of the Com
missiOners on the case will not be forth
coming for a few weeks. as they will
probably 90 over all the evidence before
reaching a verdict.

Summer
Shoe Stocks
Still Complete.

The custom OF allowing
varieties to peter out" as
the season advances is not
practiced here. Such a
course is we'll enough for the
shoe dealer, but the buyer
suffers, so to speak, in select
ing from the depleted assOrt-
mentS.
II. you are familiar with
this shoe establishment you
know that complete varieties
are maintained up to the end
of the season, 50 that the late
buyer has the same advan-
tage of selection as the early
purchaser.
Such is one of the many
causes of the unprecedented
success of this shoe establish
ment, and such success is
proof positive that particular
people appreciate the meth
DDS of this StOre-and the al
ways complete lines of every
sort of correct footwear.
This completeness is par
ticularly noticeable just now
in the white footwear for
ladies, gentlemen, misses, and
children-of canvas and
buckSkin.
New shipments are being
received almost daily to keep
the lines of sizes intact.
Whatever has been your
experience in ordering foot
wear by mail, We can assure
you of perfect satisfaction as
to fit and style if you order
from us. This store main
tains a fully equipped mail
order department and COM
petent shoe filters are in
trusted with your order as
soon as received. Be careful
to send a transcription OF the
numbers inside any shoe
which you've been wearing
and which fits you SatiSfac-
torily, together with a de
Scription of the style you care
for. Many drop in here be
fore leaving town and regis
ter a diagram of their foot,
which is really the best way.
Several new styles in
sporting footwear for ladies
and gentlemen have arrived
during the past week.

Bantered the Crowd.

Taggart bantered with the delegation
as long as he could, but finally. when
driven TO his corner. turned upon the
spokesman of the delegation and said:
Did 1 make that promise?"
You certainly did, Mr.. Mayor" said
a member OF the delegation. You
promised that you would do this for our
society and you ought TO keep your
word"
We'll, look here" said Taggart Il
guess l did make that promise / meant
10 keep II when l made IL, but condi-
lions are such that / can't redeem II.
Tom Taggart. the individual. and Tom
Taggart. the mayor of Indianapolis. are
TWO different persons; so you go back 10
your society and tell them that the
mayor OF Indianapolis says that Tom
Taggart is untruthful"
That's Tom Taggart all over" said
everyone who knew him when the in
cident was talked about In Indianap-
oils. Hes the most resourceful man
In getting out OF difficulties ever known

Secret Of Success.

Two years ago Taggart confded to a
friend the secret OF his success in life.
and, especially. his success IN politics.
81 have got ahead" said he. because
I always attend to my business from
beginning to end"
And he elaborated that idea, showing
hOS 1t was that from a boy washing
dishes in a restaurant at the age Of
fourteen at Xenia. Ohio. he rose steadily
TO be a millionaire, and a formidable
force In American politics.
Life is too short for qdarrels," he
said. There is no sense in making enc
mics in politics. 1t doesn't pay IN the
long run. and we might just as well
have a good time here on earth and
enjoy ourselves while we are going
along l have made IL a rule In politics
always TO bear I'm mind the fact that the
other fellow has Just as much right
to his opinion as ! have 10 mine. Lots
OF people want 10 scrap with the oppOsi-
ton. and then when they win they want
to punish their enemies That never
pays. The best way is to ignore them
and In the end they will appreciate the
value of your actions and opinions |
