return to their homes every night

No explanation of this was given,

the talesmen by the counsel on either

indication of what line the defense
would take But it seemed as though
Mr.. Jerome was much in the dark as
anybody and the lawyers for Thaw
permitted no word to escape them
which would betray their intentions.
The district attorney carefully guard
ed against the two obvious points
which would be made against him.
The Thaw case is being reported to
the ends OF. the civilized globe. The
eminenee of the victim, the wealth
of the prisoner, the dramatic circum-
stances of the crime, and the light it
sheds not only on Broadway life, but
on the doings of the fast set in every
capital, have caused special arrange
ments to be made for the press.

Thursday there were two jurors in the
box, Deming B. Smith, No /, and

MONEY UNTAINTED.
SAYS DR.. NEEDHAN
O. w. u. VIII Take ANY
Funds, But Draws Line
at Names.

That no money is tainted and that all
money is. in itself. good and moral
were statements put forward by Presi-
dent Charles w. Needham, Of George
Washington University, in an address
before the student body yesterday.
DR.. Needham said the university would
accept all good. real money. but It would
not dedicate buildings to people who had
secured It wrongfully. According to its
president, the university viii not place
over the portals OF its buildings the
Eames OF any but the highest and the
t-uest. To do otherwise. he said. would
be shocking.
He pointed out how out OF place It
would be 10 call a woman's college

they returned his good money. Name

President Needham based almost his
entire address on the ground that
money. a circulating medium, cannot be
tainted" because II may have gone to
the person by improper methods. Such
q thing, he argued, is out Of the Ques-
ton. because money is money and its
value cannot be impaired by the
character of the hands through which
IL has passed.
The Washington times., 1907-03-14

and thus comes into being the Au-
thors' Club and Publishing Associa-
ton, with this plan:
Each author is TO copyright his
own book in his own name, and
have the say of the mechanical
makeup thereof, and make what
contracts he wishes with the print
er, etc; each author is personally
to pay all expense of getting his
work into book form, and the ex-
Pense Of newspaper and magazine
advertising"
Thus is outlined a beautifui sys-
tenn. The only flaw we can possibly
find in it is the fact that authors,
especially of the struggling" sort,
haven't any money. 1t takes cash
of the genuine sort, and deal of it,
to pay printers, paper companies,
binders, and advertising agencies.
Not one book in a thousand is a
commercial success, and no conglOm-
Grafton oraggregation of writer's can
change the ratio. A budding novel
ist is in luck if he can persuade a
publisher 10 accept the risk and
labor of getting out his book. and
still more in luck if he can draw
10 per cent royalty on a fairly good
sale. We are assured that quite
often the author gets about all the
profit there is in a publishing trans
action, and he would be a fool to
give up any connection with re-
sponsible house with the vague idea
of glory and profit from an amalga-
nation of his rivals.

Call Off the States.

There is one point at which Presi-
dent, railroad managers, financiers,
the Interstate Commission, and
public opinion are fast coming into
agreement, concerning this matter
of governmental authority over the
instrumentalities OF interstate COM
merce.
The notion that the States must
be partners of the Federal Govern
ment in exercising this authority, is
about worn out. 1t is realized as
never before that this authority
must be exercised by one agency.
That one agency manifestly is the
Federal Government. The States
will benefit themselves little, and
viii complicate and embarrass the
task of the general Government, if
they persist in trying to supplement
the work of Congress in this direct
ton. They should leave the field
at least until the Federal authOri-
ties, now that they are willing, have
a chance to go ahead and show what
they can do. The rights of States
are developing into a common nui-
sance, the most effective obstruction
to real accomplishment.
Call off the States.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
There is not nearly so much the mat
ter with Washington as many are led 10
believe. In my opinion the health sta
tistics Of the city do us a great injustice.
not that 1 charge inaccuracy. but be
cause mere figures do not always speak
the truth. unless there is an accompany
ing explanation.
IN your recent able editorial on the
subject Of What's the Matter with
Washington # is shown that the death
rate among the colOred infants IS far
in excess of the death rate among the
white infants. And yet the white pOpu-
lation rs three times as great as the col
Ored population
The fact that the death rate OF the col
OTed children is SO much higner thah the
white death rate is easily explained, ana
the explanation at the same time 10
moves from Washington the stigma OF
a high infant mortality record as com
pared with other cities.
Washington ratio Of negroes 70
whites is greater than that Of any other
city of its latitude IN the world. II IS
a well-knOwn fact that the colder the
climate the greater the mortality among
colored people, for the negrO.s home IS
the tropics. II Washington S death rate
among this class is high. It is not q
fact at which TO marvel and should not
reflect any discredit on the c!ty's health
record.
