An Editors Awakening

THERE are often times when the editor at the desk
does not put the same value that his cor
respondent does, and cuts copy until he suddenly
wakes up with the realization that something has
been happening in Washington and he wants a
story. Had he followed his correspondent day by
day. published his dispatches, the story would
have had sensational features 1t would have
been gradual development.
Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Chap plain of the Senate
recently said to the Vice President that the best way
to take away the occupation of the muck-rake man
would be the general distribution of The Congress
sional Record, because the people would read about
Congress and its work every day, and there would
be sensations to be uncovered for their benefit
This growth of publicity in the great affairs of
Government in this country is one of the greatest
and most healthful developments in the wise adj
rninistration of its affairs. 1t was not always So
and though love to refer to the good old times
when the fathers in close touch with the
people and administered their public business with
simplicity and directnesS, have only to look
back to Madison's Notes the Constitutional
Convention, " to that one of the first resolu-
tons adopted by that body one pledging
every member to secrecy to their actions.
That convention in session from May to
September, and it kept inviolate that pledge,
that the public not permitted to know
how the Constitution made, or what kind of
government the people to have, until the
instrument was submitted for their approval.
Such condition would be intolerabe now, but
in the beginning it considered necessary The
fathers did not all have confidence in the sober
judgment of the people, and it was no doubt wise

in their profession. The position of Washington
correspondent is held to be next to that of editor

excellent judges of men and measures. They know
the Government machine we'll as do the men who
constitute it, and they have the confidence of the

regular Washington correspondents rarely make sem
satonal discoveries, because they follow every

President Mckinley directed that all dispatches
be made public, that the country should be in
possession of all the information he had to guide
him in his policy. The frankness displayed by
the President in taking the whole people into his
confidence made many suspicious that he was keep
ing back the worst but the official history of the
events shows that he kept back nothing The Presi-
dent, his Secretary of War; and his Adutant General

Cuba and the Philippines into the war-room at the
White House given to the public without
reserve, that Washington the real news

treaty of peace. group of skeptcal newspaper
correspondents decided to call the President to
learn the truth of the published story.
When they called the President had just left the
dinner table and was the south veranda with
several guests enjoying his coffee and cigar Secre-
tary Cortelyou carried to him the message of the
correspondents and he frankly dictated answers to
each and every question: completely contradicting
the story that had been circulated and then added

Two Destructive Pests.

State Entomologist e. p. Felt has
mailed placard to the postmasters
of the state of New York illustrating
the destructive gypsy and browntail
moths In their various stages and in
connection Herewith he has issued the
following circular:
This matter is of vital Importance
to all residents of New York state, as
the gypsy moth, pest which has
caused losses running into millions OF
dollars in Massachusetts, has already
escaped from that commonwealth to
New Hampshire on the north and into
Rhode Island and Connecticut on the
south, and is steadily making its way
westward.
Experience has shown that auto.
mobiles are very active agents in
transporting this insect, and with their
increased use in recent years no one
can foresee where the pest may ap-
pear next.
The browntail moth is more recent
introduction and, unlike the gypsy
moth, flies readily. 1t is not only a
very destructive leaf feeder but the
barbed hairs of the catterpillars cause
a very severe irritation upon the un.
protected skin. We earnestly bespeak
the cooperation of yourself and resi-.
dents of your vicinity in keeping watch
for the appearance of these two dan.
gerous pests"

has became a public question through
the investigation made by Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock.
When the governors attention was
called to published article which
stated that he had interceded with
President Roosevelt in behalf of the
oil operators, he said:
1T is true that have expressed my
views to the president relative to oil
leases in Indian Territory. live in
an oil country and many of my friends
and constituents are interested in the
oil business, migrating at various times
from one oil country to another.
There has been a great deal of dis
satisfaction over the manner in which
the lease question has been handled
by the department of the interior, es
pecially in Oklahoma and Indian ter
ritories. The method is, as far as
know unusual and | have so informed
the president.
Among other suggestions thought
1t would be wise for Secretary Hitch
cock to advise with some practical oil
men on the subject"

WITNESSES IN THAW CASE.
Woman Said to Have Heard Threats.
Another Thaw Valet.

New York, July 10. - A witness
whose testimony may be of consider
able importance in connection with the
Thaw case was found in the person
of Warren Hammond, who at one time
was employed by Thaw as a valet.
Until today it had been supposed that
when William Bedford, Thaw's regular
valet, died, the testimony of tho Gully
person who had ever occupied the pc
sition of body servant to Thaw had
been lost irrevocably. Hammond,
however, substituted for Bedford dur
ing three months when the latter was
Ill about three years ago.
Among the persons questioned by
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
was Charles Hartnett, who was en-
ployed by Stanford White as a secre-
tary. While Mr. Garvan refused to
say what the examination disclosed, 1t
is understood that Mr. Hartnett's tes-
timony tended to contradict the cur
rent reports of much that was d!scred-
table in Mr.. Whites private life.
A Mrs. Schwartz, who lives In West
32d street and who Is an intimate
friend of the Thaws. will be questioned
Oy Mr.. Garvan today. 1t Is said that
shortly after Harry Thaw and Miss
Nesbitt were married, Thaw threat
ened, in Mrs Schwartz presence, to
shoot Stanford White.
