MORE MONEY FOR THE EXPOSITION


There isn't much doubt that Mr..
Francis, president of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, will succeed IN
getting from Congress the A,5O0,OOO
which he needs, though II was the
understanding when the appropriation
of $5,OOO0O0 was made that no further
assistance for the exposition would be
asked. President Francis puts in the
plea that labor is costing a great deal
more than it was expected 1t would,
and that the first estimate of the cost
of the exposition was entirely too low.
The impression was that the st. Louis
exposition was going to cost great
deal more than the one at Chicago did
that it was planned on greater scale
of magnificence-but from some state
ments made by President Francis there
is ground for wondering whether it will
surpass it in any important particular.
If it is a fact, and we have no doubt
it is, that labor is costing 25 per cent.
more than labor employed at the Chi
cago fair, and that Chicago spent $22,-
900, 900 before the gates of the fair were
opened, while st. Louis has only $l5,-
DOC, 900, it will be difficult for the st.
Louis people to make as fine showing
as Chicago did.
We assume that st. Louis is short of
money or it wouldn't be asking Con-
gress for an additional appropriation.
1t isn't an appropriation exactly that
President Francis is asking for, but
loan, the gate receipts being pledged
for its return. We do not know wheth-
er or not the government is to be paid
its loan before other creditors. but as
sumo it will have to take its chances
of gettings it's money. If the gate re-
ceipts were unincumbered the proba-
bility is there would be no difficulty in
borrowing money on them, thus avoid
ing the necessity of applying to Con-
gress for loan.
President Francis estimates that 3d.
900, 600 people will attend the fair, and
that therefore there viii be ample Sc
curity for the loan. 1t is a question
whether or not that number will at
tend. but a very considerable percent
age of the number will not be pay Wis
itors. If $12O00.O0O is taken at the gates
the fair management will be fortunate.
AS a matter of fact, these great fairs
don't pay back the money invested in
them. They may pay indirectly, but
they come along too often. The people
get tired of them. Three more are al
ready scheduled and no doubt Con-
gress will be asked for an appropria-
ton for each of them.

President Roosevelt. Bat is one of

the greetings exchanged; then the
two fell to talking of prize fights,

topics. The President wanted to

The WashingtonStar stands close to
the administration. 1t has even been
c&lled-how truly We of course do not
pretend to say--the mouthpiece of Pres
ident Roosevelt. Knowing politicians
look to the Stars editorial page foI
the Presidents views on many mat
tiers, and they are of the opinion that
they do not look in vain. 1t is signifi-
cant, therefore, TO find the Star patting
Mr.. Bryan on the back and assuring
him that he is performing a patriotic
service by pursuing the course he has
followed since his return from Europe.
Who else is doing such valuable serv-
ice in clearing the atmosphere asks
the STAR. OF course, the Star and
President Roosevelt are chuckling over
the kind of Clearing the atmosphere
that is going on under Mr.. Bryan's
leadership.

There is no question about Secre-
tary Of War Taft filling the chair of
ex-Secretary Root; that is, physically
speaking. AS matter of fact. the
new secretary more than fills the
chair, and hangs over the sides of it.
He is little better than six feet tall
and weighs 800 pounds. When he at
tempted to make use of Mr.. Roots
furniture the other day he found It
impossible. The chair was too little
and the opening in the desk would
not hold his ponderous underplnning.
A new ofiice outfit has therefore been
ordered.

Roland Molineux has not given up
his fight to secure the removal of his
picture and Bertillion measurements
from the rogues gallery in the New
York state prison. Next week the
Court Of Appeals will be asked to hear
his petition for reversal Of the deeis-
ions Of the lower courts. which have
held that the picture and measure
ments are a part of the records of
the famous Molineux case and that as
such they are properly retained in the
rogues' gallery. Molineux's contention
is that, inasmuch as he was finally
cleared OF the charge OF numbering Mrs.
Adams, he stands as innocent as II
he had never been charged with the
crime, therefore, the holding Of the pic
ture anc measurements In the rogues'
gallery is a constant libel 10 himself.

Some weeks ago Pope Plus X issued
a decree to the effect that 1t was his
desire that the church go back to old
time practices as regards music. He
wished women excluded from the
choirs. and that the Gregorian chant
be restored to its former place. st.
Nicholas German Catholic Church, at
Wilkesharre, Pa, has taken steps to
comply with the Popes wish in both
these particulars. This. it is said. is
the first American church to exclude
women from its choir.

JUDGE PARkER,s CANDIDACY.

1t was freely predicted that Judge
Parkers candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President would
be launched at the dinner given
early last month in honor of Mayor
Mcclellan, but it wasn't. Judge Park
er took good care not to be present,
though he accepted the invitation.
His excuse was that his duties as
justice of the Court of Appeals pre-
vented him from attending.
Again it is predicted that he will be
brought out as a candidate at the
dinner to be given in honor of Mr..
Hone next Saturday evening, at the
club rooms of the Manhattan club, in
New York City. Mr.. Hone is vice
president of the club and the dinner is
in recognition of his services. He is
also a great friend of Judge Parker,
who has promised TO be present. OF
course about all of the distinguished
Democrats of New York will be at the
dinner. In fact, many of the Demo-
cratic leaders outside of that city are
expected to be among the guests.
There is no particular reason, now
ever, why Judge Parker's boom for
the presidential nomination should
be launched on that occasion. If he
isn't ready TO have it launched it
certainly will not be. If it were known
that it was his wish not to have his
name mentioned in connection with
the presidential nomination at the
dinner there is no doubt it would be
respected.
Judge Parkers strength consists
largely in his silence respecting his
candidacy and his refusal at this
time to discuss public issues. He has
a good excuse for not discussing
either. He is the chief justice of the
highest court of the greatest state in
the Union, and, occupying such
position, it would be hardly becoming
in him to parade in the public prints
his views on public questions. If he had
announced himself as a candidate
for the nomination for President
there would be some excuse for eX-
pecting him to state his political views
but he has done nothing of the kind.
He had been extremely careful to say
nothing that could be construed
into a desire on his part for the nomi-
nation.
Those of his party therefore who
don't favor his nomination havFn't
been able to find anything on which
to base outspoken opposition to him.
They say of course he hasn't any
political record, and is unknown out
side of his own state. All of that is
true, but if they should insinuate
that he isn't a man of ability their
insinuation would have no weight,
for the reason that he couldn't hold the
position he does unless he were
man of a very high order of ability.
Whoever is in charge of his political
interests is managing them carefully
and with judgement. His silence is
doing far more for him than any
thing he could say would.
1t is by no means certain there
fore that his presidential candidacy
will be launched at the dinner on
Saturday night next. The chances are
it will not. There is no reason for
thinking that his managers are ready
to have it launched yet.

Political liberty was first proclaimed

For the last ten years or more 1t
has been the custom of Mr.. Hiram
Applegate Babbitt, a retired real
estate again in Kenwood, to see that
all the drinking water in use in his
family has been thoroughly boiled.
Last week, however, a neighbor
persuaded him to abandon the practice.
Look at me-" said his neighbor.
II never boil the water and there isn't
a healthier man in Chicago. To give
this matter a test 1 will agree to pay
all the doctor bills you incur during
the next six months on account of
using unboiled water"
"I'll take you up at that proposition"
said Mr.. Babbittt.
He put his water jars out in the
wOodshead and began using the city
water as it came from the faucet.
Day before yesterday, while walk
ing across the street, he slipped on
the ice and fell, breaking one of the
bones in his leg, just above the ankle.

The other day a friend of Mr.. Walk

take?"
"Well, including the walk to and
from the shop, the time it takes to
shave me and the time lose occasion

less than forty minutes, on an
average"

his friend, suiting the action to the
word. Il find that in one year you

days of ten hours each. How long have
you been getting shaved every other
day?"
about fifteen years."
Let US do a little more figuring.
In that time you have spent $409.50 and
$50 days, or nearly six months, on the
single item of getting shaved, when
you could have saved all that money
and two-thirds of the time by shaw
ing yourself. Did it ever occur to you
in that light?"
81 confess that it never did," said
Mr. Promfert, greatly surprised at
the result.
Yet he continues to go the barber
shop for shave every other day as
heretofore.

"A curious radium phenomenon is
reported by NJ. E. Fournier d'Albe
in the Electrician. Mr.. E. Dorm in
closed 80 milligrams of Buchler's
strongest radium bromide in a tube of
Jena. glass free from alkali and 6
centimeters long. This was done last
December. At the end Of May he
wanted to open the tube. Just as he
was applying three-cornered file and
had only slightly scratched the surface
the glass was pierced by an electric
spark with an audible noise. The phe-
nomenon may be explained by sup
posing that the negative electrons
had escaped through the walls of the
tude. which We're 0.3 millimeters thick,
and a positive charge remained. Ne
gative ions would then accumulate on
the outer surface of the tube, and this
accumulation would be facilitated by
the ionization of the air around. Since
the author held the tube in his left
hand and the file in his right, the dis
cargo was rendered possible.
