The board will hold frequent meetings
and conduct hearings in cases of alleged
violations of the law. DIR. Wiley will
soon be one of the best known men in
the District of Columbia. In addition
to his governmental. duties he is pro-
fessor of agricultural chemistry in the
George Washingtoh University and di-
reefs the studies Of the university stu
dents along that lihe. He is one of the
most deeply versed men in the country
Oh the pure food question and his
knowledge of the chemistry of soils and
plants is extensive. The university is
noted for the number of government
scientists and iurists to be found on its
faculty. In its law department it has
the services of Associate Justices Har
Ian and Brewer, while in its scientific de-
partments number of men known in
both hemispheres conduct classes i'll their
especial fields of endeavor. 1t is due
largely to this fact that the present
movement undertaken by the university
to make of itself great national insti-
tuition of learning meets with such
hearty support. Already the fund that
is being raised locally for the PURCHASE
of a site for the new university buildings
is nearly completed, and it is believed
that the appeal to the country for sub
scriptions to an adequate endowment
fund will be as successful. TO return to
the inspection board, DR.. Dunlap is the
only member of the board who has not
been previously connected with the de-
partment of agriculture. He comes di-
rectly from the faculty of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, from which institution
he was graduated with the degree of

Uncle Joe" Cannon this week sprung
upon Washington Il most delicately
beautiful cOnfection in the way of head
gear that the national capital has seen
for many months. The hat is a SYM
phony in mellow cream with lily white
band. 1t is a rakish looking structure
and the brim droops in devil-may-
fashion over the speakers eyes. In tex
ture it is soft, almost tilmy, and decided
" diaphanous. When his friends strove
to learn where the speaker purchased the
hat they were disappointed. "Uncle joe

The hat makes the speaker look fifteen
years younger.
Lieutenant General Arthur Macarthur
has been ordered to 90 to Seattle, accom-
panied by his entire staff, to meet
,Japans great military hero, General
Kurolli. to escort him to the jamestown
exposition General Macarthur will
bring his distinguished guest first to
Washington, where he will pay his re-
spects to President Roosevelt and the
war department, and then he will attend
the japanese Warrior on the trip down
the Patomac to the big fair. This task
accomplished General Macarthur will re-
turn to Milwaukee and there resume the
preparation of his report on his tour
through Asia, made little more than
a year ago. General Macarthur is
generally regarded AS the most scholarly
and accomplished officer in the army.

The action of Attorney General Ellis
i'll deciding against the Legality OF
primary to determine on Ohio's favorite
son. is regarded here as triumph of
Secretary Taft 1t will be remembered
that Senator Foraker proposed the pri-
mary. which is so strictly a party af-
fair that it can be manipulated by the
managers of the machine. AS Senator
Dick is the general manager and the open
alIv of Senator Foraker, it was almost
fOreoone conclusion as to which way the
primary would 90. For that reason, it
is said. the attorney generals decision
has let the rotund secretary OF war out
of very tight political hole. Mr.. Ellis
never has been a Foraker man, and for
a number of wears, as editor of a Gin
cinnati newspaper, he fought the senator
bitterly. That was when he was demo-
crat. and later when he joined the repub-
lican ranks he became even more bitter
in his opposition. He and President
Roosevelt are very close friends
