WASHINGTON LETTER.
(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

(FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22ND
The principle interest in Congress
ional circles this week has been the
attack on the President made by Sem
ator Foraker of Ohio relatives to the
dismissal of the colored troops. For
two hours and q half on the day pre-
vious to the adjournment for the Christ
mas holidays the Senate listened to
the speech made by the Ohio Senator
in which he accused the President Of
not having given square deal" to
the colorcd troops. The galleries
were filed by citizens and visitors
who deserted the shops for an oppor-
tunity to hear Mr.. Foraker.
The car shortage in the West which
is causing such suffering has been ia
ken up seriously by the Administra-
ton through the Interstate Commerce
commission. The limited power of
the Commission however, which has
jurisdiction only over rates, interferes
with it's freedom to pass in relation
to the car shortage and it is possible
that a bill may be introduced
to bestow upon the Commission not
only the authority to fix rates but al
SO the management of the property
in case of public emergency.
The President will spend his Christ
mas in Washington and as Congress
is temporarily off his hands he will
probably endeavor to rest up before
tackling that body again, combined
the demands Of the social season.
January first, when he holds his pub
lie reception may be said to be the
beginning of the really strenuous life
for the President for from that time
he has not only Congress but he has a
perpetual round Of receptions, dinners
and the like which fill nearly every
hour that he is not at work. Dur
ing this time though he works hard
er than ever to get time for daily
ride or some sort of exercise in the
open air and for this reason he is not
only always ready for business but
equally prepared to be the genial host
of the White House or guest at some
home of the Cabinet officers on the
occasions of the state dinners. 1t is
probable that during Christmas week
he and Mrs. Roosevelt will slip away
for few days at Pine Knob, their
tiny country cottage, a retreat in Vir-
ginia which they both thoroughly
enjoy.

gan TO show signs Of improvement.
His character changed, and from be-
ing one Of the most dangerous pris.
oners be became OF the best.
His criminal instincts seem TO have
disappeared. After his return 10

DON'T FORGET TO WRITE.


In the dear old home they miss you.
Miss the sunshine Of your face,
Miss your happy careless chatter;
N9one else can fill your place.
They are thinking Of you often.
When in distant paths you roam;
Don't forget to write letter
To the dear onesleft at home.
One can see they're sad without you.
Though they smile and do their best;
Half life's music loated from them
When the birdlings left the nest.
How they love to get letter
In your own familiar hand
All the comfort it can give them
Only parents understand.
Do you know that since you've left her
In your mothers glossy hair
Threads Of silver INTERVIEWING
Tell Of years Of toll and care!
Just bit the line has deepened
On your fathers thoughtful brow.
Don't forget to write-write often.
For they miss you sadly now.
When they sit around the fireside,
And the shadows gather near,
Then they think of happy hours,
When your presence brought them cheer,
Come, sweet tender memories thronging.
When the stars shine in the blue.
And they breathe their hearts deep longing
In silent prayer for you.
Write letter to the dear ones
Who on you their hopes have stayed;
They may seem trihe childish
II your letter is delayed
For they miss you from the fireside.
Miss you more than words can say,
Then write promptly, dom, neglect it,
Write q letter home to-day.
