Taft is opposed to the policy of retain
ing any number of troops in San Fran
cisco engaged in the work of relief and
restoration. He believes that these
duties should be taken up by the citt-
zens of San Francisco themselves. The
longer the army stays there the more
danger there is of conflict of author
ity between the municipal officials and
the officers of the army. 1t is also
felt that the people of San Francisco
would be much more self-respecting If
they are shculdered with the respon-
sibility of maintaining order and re-
lieving the suffering.
The conduct of the army officers and
men in the great disaster in San
Francisco nas done much to restore to
the people, and particularly of mem
bers of congress. 1t had become the
habit of some congressman and sena-
tors on all occasions to decry the
American soldier. When the news came
of the wiping out of the Moros at
Mount Dajo in the Phi, mines there
was a renewal of the criticism of the
army and IN cutlery against the bru-
tality and cruelty of the soldiers. This
has all been hushed. When the same
soldier, because those stationed on
the Pacific coast are of the same army
that has occupied the Philippines,
went into the burning city, rescued
men, women and children, went hum
cry that others might eat, and neith-
er slept nor rested night nor day
there was nothing heard about the
brutal soldiers.
The employment of the army in this
work was without warrant of law, but
no violation of red tapeism ever met
with SO hearty approval or commanded
SO much respect in congressional and
administration circles where the well
fare of the soldier is supposed to be
in charge.

the supposed discovery of a new sup
ply of fertilizer which can be furnished
cheaper than the same material has
ever been before secured. Heretofore
the whole supply of carbonate of pot
ash fertilizer has come from Germany,
but DR.. Cushman, of the roads office in
the agricultural department, believes
that he has found something in this
country that will completely suppIant
the German fertilizer.
Last summer when DR.. Cushman
was experimenting on some granite
road material in his laboratory he ex-
tracted from some very finely pow
dered rock large percentage of pot
ash He extracted this potash by cleo
~tricity, but he concluded that as
ground rock is very cheap. it might. be
worth while to try the experiment of
letting the plants do their own extract
ing. He tried it on his own farm. and
found that the powdered rock did act
ually act as a fertilizer.
The commercial value of imported
fertilizer is about 500 a ton. 1t is
necessary in the tobacco fields and a
number of other crops require it The
ground rock, on the other hand, can be
produced for about three dollars a
ton, and there is so much of it in the
country that runs high il potash, and
is available for use that the supply
could never be cornered. 1t takes
about twice as much of the ground
rock to accomplish the same results as
the imported fertilizer, but even then
the difference in the price of Sc and
500 is evidently a great card in ia
vor of the native material The scien-
lists at the agricultural department re-
| gard this as a very important dis
| covery.

war was a few days ago restored by
G. w. Hendricks, of Philadelphia, to
Miss Mary Custis Lee, daughter of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, the commander
of the confederacy. The wanderings
of this old volume will never be

book collector, bought the Bible many

other treasures from the Lee mansion

ignorant of its value.

Shirt waists of snowy white, sheer

to the presidency, and declares
that Theodore Roosevelt would be
Mr.. Taft's secretary OF state This
arrangement has caused President
Roosevelt considerable amusement and
has excited the risibilities of men in
public life generally.
The most frequently expressed opin-
ion in political circles is that Mr..
Roosevelt is more likely to come to
the senate from New York than he is
to fill any other position Senator
Platt's term will expire on March 3,
1909, the date on which Mr.. Roosevelt
will cease to be president of the
United States. Mr.. Platt is not can
didate for reelection, and if Mr.. Roose-
welt enters the field it is admitted that
no one will oppose him. The senate
would be congenial field after two
terms in the White House. Some of the
older members of the senate who have
not had the most pleasant relations
with Mr.. Roosevelt as president are
already grinning in anticipation Of the
fun they will have in hazing the new
senator from New York. Those who
know the president do not doubt that
he will be able to take good care OF
himself when the hazing begins.
After Mr.. Roosevelt retires from the
presidency even though he Is elected
. senator from New York it IS believed
that his plans contemplate tour oil
the world. He could start at once
and do this tour before the beginning
of the regular session of congress fol-
lowing. 1t is admitted that no one
not even Grant, has received greater
honors than would be accorded to Mr.
Roosevelt by all the great foreign ma
tions he would visit His reputation
as the great peacemaker of the world
would insure him a triumphal tour.
