attorneys general of the several states

the enforcement OF legislation enacted
by the various states relating to the
control OF corporations. Mr.. Thomp-
son has received numerous requests
for information regarding his prose-

which is now pending in the supreme
court Because of these requests and
his interest in this suit the attorney

IMMUNITY. The stove is constructed
with two tanks, one to hold water, the
other gasoline. The piping is SO ar

thence into the burner. So long as
the air is thus excluded from the gaso-

Harry Lehr is both a great ard a dead
game sport. No pent-up Utica contracts
his powers. He makes his way to notoriety
as easily in Berlin as in New York or
Newport. He gets out Of life, wherever he
may be, all there Is in 1t for him. 1t is idle
to charge him with obtaining notice under
false pretenses. He is the same Lehr at all
times and In all places. He could not dis
guise himself If he would. And what au-
thority is there for assuming that he would?
He admires himself very much, and diff
ference of opinion on the point surprises
him greatly. He IL well provided for. but
few men could meet a financial reverse
more serenely. His gift as an advertiser
continues, and he could go back to push
ing champagne on the market tomorrow
with all of his former cheek and success.

the Aero Club of America, said Well of
course. But perhaps the only reason the
country around Washington appears more
beautiful from a balloon than from any
where else is that the balloonist sees more
of it at one time.
The aeronauts are reported as saying that
they believe Washington affords the best
facilities in the country for aerial ascents.
The balloon ascent is a pretty entertain
ment. with just enough uncertainty about 1t
to Jingle the fancy of those. who have
stomach for sensations.
Some irreverent men may ask. what Is 1t
all worth? Balloons have been going up
They have been long used by military men
as a means of making observations OF the
terrain and of the enemys position. But
real aerial navigation is the problem on
which a great deal of the brains of the
world Is engaged. Governments are spend
ing money in the promotion of the art
science. The budget presented to the Ger
man reichstag on Saturday by the minister
of finance carries an appropriation of 1925
COO to aid the airship experiments of Count
Zeppelin.

Castro.

Now, honestly. Has Castro been i'll?
Ii so, of what? And has he at any time
been in danger? We all know that the re-
peated reports of his death were, speaking
after the fashion of Mark Twain, very much
exaggerated. 1t is an interesting subject,
and has been presented in variety of
ways for weeks. Now he has been bed
ridden; now up and about. and capering In
the dance at his country place surrounded
by congenal spirits. Now he has been
greatly discouraged. and on the eve OF
quitting office forever; now more deter
mined than ever to hold on to the reins of
power, and make it warmer than ever for
his enemies. A bumptious and elusive citi-
zen if ever there was one, and hard to get
and keep line on. The man is mortal, and
it is given unto all men once to die. But
when he dies, after all of these yarns, a
very stout affidavit will have to accom-
pany the truth to insure it acceptance In
this country.

OratCry and Its Dangers,

Grant oratory is a new thing, and it
seems to be dangerous. Ulysses S. never
talked, and therefore never got into trou-
bic on account of his tongue. 1t is a good
rule for soldiers and sailors. Even poll,
ticians, whose business it Is to talk and
who should study words in all of their
power both to eniighten and to confuse
often trip, and find it necessary to issue a
supplement carrying key to the first edi-
ton. In this day of banquets and ad-
dresses when everybody is drafted and few
smilingly decline, the plea of misquotat ton
is often made. But the fact remains that
the difficulty is more frequently with the
speaker than with the reporter. The latter
as a rule, is practiced in his duty and has
no ends to serve but those of accuracy,
while the Impractical speaker is liable to
say unattended things and regret intended
things after they have been said. Cold
type is the greatest of eye-openers.

George Wsshington University.

Friends of George Wes,.-g--r University
are to meet tonight ar 9.rss the aues-
ton OF the selection of a site for the
university. 1t is quesi ion # very great
Importance to the univers',y. and thus OF
deep interest to all the people of the Dis
trict. 1t concerns not only those immediate
ly and directly interested in The university.
but all who inspired by public spirit and
local pride desire to develop the national
capital as an educational center.
. George Washington University is an lin
stitution' in the emphatic sense of the
word. 1t is a local institution which more
less directly touches every other institu-
ton and every home in the District. Its
alumni are in every business. and probably
on every block in the city. Many of them
are scattered about the whole country.
Because of the Kendall scholarship
George Washington University is place
of interest to every pupil of the public
schools and the parents of every public
school child in the city. And so, while
thousands of alumni look back upon the
university. thousands of children look for
ward to it.
A great university deep-rooted in the
heart of the national capital. with a history
closely intertwined with that of Washing
tOH Guy, SnOuiu get what II neeQS IN tf1e
matter of building site. buildings and equip
ment. There is nothing experimental in
this university. 1t has proved It's WORTH
ness every year for long series of years.
With a numerous and loyal alumni, the
generous sympathy OF the alumni of other
educational institutions and the affection
ate interest of everybody else, there ought
to be no difficulty in securing an ample
and appropriate site for the university
buildings.
The university can not be removed to a
point far beyond the center of the city, for
that would mean too great inconvenience
and loss of time to it's students. There are
many things in connection with the new
site of the university which must be nicely
weighed, but there is a central fact on
which everybody can agree. 1t is, What
George Washington University needs.
George Washington University must have. -
