A NUT For NORTHERN CRACKERS

In commenting the charge made against Engineer
Lppinco by the feminine fiction of nyo county,
the Sacramento Bee says THE terms Of his statement
(Lippincott's) while not in all respects specific cover
in a general way all the accusations by the novel
st. 1t becomes her duty either to make good her
original criticisms withdraw them and apologize"
Not at all necessary. The novelist engaged
simply vocation whereby she is supposed to earn
her living Story material, probably, is in the
wilds of Inyo county, and quite likely the
the output is not bouyant. An opportunity to-
story of the big water project undertaken by
Angeles gave promise of a few dollars from the till of
a San Francisco newspaper. The opportunity was
grasped few dollars earned and the novelist
presumably made happy.
It is the San Francisco Chronicle which published
the effort of the novelist in the guise of fact with
toral approval that should respond to the Sacramento
Bees suggestion The explicit refutaton by Engineer
Lippincot of the noveliss statements makes it ncum
bent upon the Chronicle not upon the professional fc
ton weaver make good the original criticisms or
ito withdraw them and apologize"
The suggestion Of the Bee also seems applicable to
several other northern newspapers which picked up and
swallowed the Chronicles Inyo county fiction with the
avidity OF a hungry hen picking up corn.

THE TAFT JUNKET

Secretary Taft and the group of congressman who
accompanied him all report glorious outing on their
voyage to the orient. Well they might Along with
the secretary twentythree representatives in the
lower house of congress and senator's The wives
of thirteen of the congressman also in the
Then there were about eighty unofficial persons in the
party, to whom Secretary Taft aludes pleasant as
sociates" who paid their expenses. 1t was de-
ghtful experience in all respects and the distinguished
visitors entertained right royalty wherever they
went. The Fpinos evidently regarded them as pretty
nearly "the whole thing" in the United States govern
ment
In explaining the purpose of this remarkable junket
mainly at the expense of the American people and of
the wretchedly poor Flipnos Secretary Taft says 1T
thought wise for the head of the war department
to make a visit of inspection" AS the secretary was
called from the Philippine lid holding job not long ago
to take his present position the need of his recent In
specton is not readily perceived. The sightseeing ex-
perience of the congressman and the thirteen wives
was very pleasant doubt, but it would be hard 10
find any other resultant benefit.
The conclusions reached by the congressman, as al
ready published cover the views of Democrat and
four Republicans Senator Patterson of Colorado is the
representative of Democratic party and the Repub
cans leaders of their party in the house of rep
resentatives. Senator Patterson concerning the
Philippines: 81 convinced that in their government
getting farther and farther away from Secre-
tary Tafts patriotic and humane policy-the Philip
pines Tor the t1IpmOS ana ultimate independence
How much farther getting away from that
promise is indicated by expressions from the Repub-
lcan junketers who have spoken All of them allude
to great future possibilities in the islands, but none
gives Filipnos ray of hope that they ever will see
the dawn of independence.
1t is a rather gloomy situation that Secretary Taft
himself depicts He frankly admits that the political
situation is not as good it ought to be-" He "a
wave of adronism" has swept certain provinces
but the use of troops has put end to the disturb
speaks of "the distressing agricultural de-
presson due to the loss Of rs per cent of the agri-
cultural products cattle drouth ocuss and the cholera,
as well as other causes which will probably not cease
to be for several years."
The junket a great success. 1t gave half a
hundred congressman including their wives chance
to glance at the wreched plight Of the Filipnos and
then pass to the delightful receptions awaiting them
The junket costly of course and nothing essentially
new was learned by the congressional junketers, but
all had "a lovely time" at the expense of the mpov
erished Fipnos and the people of the United States

NATIONAL BOARD OF MANAGERS
MAKE INSPECTION
DISTINGUISHED Party Spends Entire
Day in Trip and Report That the
Affairs of the Institution Are In
Excellent Shape

The national board of managers OF
the soldiers homes inspected the home
at Sawtele yesterday and expressed
themselves as pleased with the manner
in which the home has been conducted
during the past year, and found its
financial affairs in excellent shape.
The board went into executive session
yesterday morning Immediately after
arriving at Sawtelle and considered sub
ljects Of Importance which were pre-
sented to them. They later investi-
gated the financial affairs and ascer-
tanned that the institution had been
conducted properly and economically
by the resident management.
Members of the party, who are stay
ing at the Angelus, returned to Los
Angeles late yesterday evening and will
leave this afternoon in their private car
for San Francisco. Proceeding over the
Santa Fe, after a brief stop at San
Francisco, the party will return to Chi
cago and disband, the members return
ing to their homes.
The inspection trip was concluded
with the visit to the Sawtelle home yes

climate and the progressive spirit eX-
hibited in the improvements made in
Los Angeles.
Maj. Warner, Missouri's first Repub-
lican senator since the days following
the Civil War, enjoyed his first trip to
Los Angeles and says that California
is truly a wonderful country, and he
found much to interest him and excite
his admiration. He is deeply impressed
with the future of Los Angeles and ad-
nlres it's climate very much.
However" said the senator last
night, "I am very much like the boy in
Missouri who was asked by his Sunday
school teacher If he did not want to go
to heaven. oh, don't know said he,
Missouri is good enough for me- And,
while California Is a most attractive
country and the climate Is as nearly
ideal as could be desired, the dust on
the trees and the prevalent dry weather
do not exactly suit me. I want to live
in a place where we have an occasional!
rain, even If the Kaw does get on a
rampage occasionally and forces us to
move into the hills temporarily to avoid
an involuntary bath.
"In returning from Sawtelle this
afternoon we were given view of the
Pacific ocean and visited the beaches
en- route. Venice, which I am informed
is new city, was revelation to me,
and yet I am told that 1t is not COM
plete. 1t is a wonderful city and that
such a community exists and is sup
ported by the people of Los Angeles is
deserving of commendation.
'I wanted to go to the summit Of
Mount Lowe, but our time is too linn
tied. Tomorrow morning we shall go to
Pasadena, where 1 will meet some old
Missouri friends. On our return we will
leave for San Francisco and home.

time will be my own, and then shall
visit all the oints Of interest about Los
