A busy and interesting scene was 1 observed yesterday where seven sew ing machines were in motion, sur rounded by twice that number of ladies in the little annex of the Con gregstionsl church making up articles oi wearing apparel for the little ones left motherlees by the death of the late estimable Mrs Williams. All of this sweet work reminds one so iorcibly of those immortal lines

Oklahoma is about the heftiest thing in

the Union, 10 our way OF thinking. That

Just now Oklahoma, our pert junior sis

Ugly Congressional Scandal.

Senator Carter has performed a real
public service IN calling attention TO the
Bieber waterfront legislation by Con-
gress. On its face. the whole proceeding
is decidedly irregular, not to characterize
IL by stronger term. Its aspect is not
changed in the slightest degree by the
assertion that the Pennsylvania Railroad,
an interested party. prompted the ex-
posure and furnished Senator Carter the
history of the legislation upon which his
severe arTaignment was based.
If this whole proceeding is straight, why
did it take so irregular course? Why
is the District OF Columbia Committee OF
the Senate so prompt to wash it's hands
Of the transaction? How did bill be-
longing to that committee get into the
hands OF committee 70 which il did not
belong-a bill authorizing the transfer
10 a doubtful claimant of valuable Dis
trict lands? If It was anything short OF
a fragrant piece Of land-grabbing. as Sen
ator Carter asserts, the proof is yet to be
forthcoming,
Both branches Of Congress are under
cloud as the result OF this scandalous
legislation.
A most thorough investigation is in or
der. It is common talk, OF general be-
lief. IN fact. that the recipient OF Con-
gressional favor in the most remarkable
bit Of legislation ever spread upon the
statute books-this doubtful claimant. Sid
ney Bieber-has influential relationships
at the Capitol. He may not have profted
by these relationships. but he has. never
theless. been credited with influence most
potential in certain legislative directions.
The Washington Herald is making no
charges. The charges already are made.
Senator Carter stands sponsor for them.
whatever their origin. The record con-
sututes a most serious and damaging
arraignment OF Congress. II is of vital
interest TO the District OF Columbia. If.
by surreptitious means. by questionable
legislation, valuable waterfront property
can be transferred TO an individual in
this fashion; IL rights are not to be
established and maintained by due pro
cesses Of law. what landed interest in
the District of Columbia will be safe?
An investigation should be ordered at
once. It is the ugliest sort Of scandal.
and calls loudly for the probe.

SENATOR BAILEYs oRAToRY.
Possesses Happy Faculty of Clarity
ing an Obstruse Subject.


Not only does Bailey lend a peculiar i'm
pressiveness 70 whatever he speaks upon.
but HIS style Is also a model for clarity.
Il used to be said Of Gladstone that he
alone in HIS day could make the dry
figures Of the English budget alive with
interest 10 the House Of Commons. Sen
ator Bailey has much the same power
over the intricacies OF a difficult legal
proposition and can hold an audience as
closely IN the Senate galleries as the
frothlest political sensationaIism win hold
the galleries OF the House He speaks
slowly and with careful emphasis. and as
he approaches the conclusion of each
separate argument he seems to speak
more slowly stIlI The result is that be-
fore he has declared his conclusion, the
mind OF the attentive listener, led on.
step by step. has already leared 10 il. Tt
is natural human vanity 20 De tempted
to feel that the conclusion is ones ovn
and 10 agree with the orator as he fol-
lows a fraction Of time afterward. Yet
only a speaker with the gift Of luminous
clarity could weave just this spell.
Another test of Bailey's natural elo-
quence is afforded by following him with
the written copy of a speech when. as
yesterday. he has prepared it carefully in
advance and ii has been printed and cir
culated in the press gallery. Only az rare
intervals did he yesterday consult the
printed slips on the desk before him. But
the significant thing was that in every
change which be made, and he made very
many as he proceeded, the English which
he actually spoke was richer and strong
er than that which he had written This
happened not once. but many times. and
was noted by more than one observer.

TAFT EAST AND TAFT WEST.
Diverse and Reverse Sides of n
Presidential Campaign.

ODheFSe anu Reverse sues OF a
Presidential Campaign.
From the Springfield Republican.
The Secretary OF War Is being presented
to the country, in this preliminary cam
paign, in two contradictory aspects The
conservative East is being quietly told
that Taft IS temperamentally the embodi-
ment OF judicial polse and a conservative
wisdom that can be depended upon after
he gains the Presidency Very well; let
it be admitted. But what is the appeal
being made to the West? What kind OF

mentally different from his chief. saner,
more poised. more conservative IN mind.
less noisy and slap-dash In his methods?
40. The prairies and the mountains and
the gulches Of the West take Mr. Roose-
vclt's word for ii that Mr.. TAFT is a man
entirely after his own heart They want
Mr. Taft because they are assured that
he Is the second edition OF the greatest
man that ever lived in America They
believe he will chase the malefactoTs. and
that he would Gle rather than bend the
knee 10 the reactiOnarics.
Here are two conceptions OF Mr.. Taft
which may be IecOnCiIed verbally. but
which in essence are opposed Both are
doing valiant service. There is only one
more observation 10 be made. and that is
that II Mr.. Taft runs against Mr. Bryan

TRIBUTES TO THE MOTHER.
OF President RooseveIf's
speech with a Magazine Article.


speech with n Magazine Article.
Social Settler in the Boston Transcript
The second paper Of Mrs. Anna A
Rogers on problems OF the family. in the
March Atlantic, fine as Il is. leaves the
reader with a sense OF disappointment
In telling why American mothers fail, -
Mrs. Rogers Is obviously on less familiar
and well-known ground that size was in
her earlier essay on why American mar
riages fan.
There is, however, much ripe wisdom IN
Mrs. Rogers structures on the American
mother. She IS right IN coutending that
the latter puts too much emotion and too
Ettue intellect into her dealings with her
children, Most American mothers spoil
their babies by foolish overattention; they
neglect their children after about the
fourth year; and they fan altogether 70
maintain app-eciative and sympathetic
relations with their sons approaching
manhood. The average mother simply
plays doll with her child; when the
latter grows too big 70 make a cute play
thing she passes it up for some new toy
or other interest: and she takes no intel
ngent part in the training OF her adde's
cent offspring
in emphasizing the Importance of
motherhood. its opportunity and its ooli-
cations, Mrs. Rogers IS at her best. Her
words are nails fastened by the mas
tiers Of assemblies" Here are three char
acteristic sayings that deserve 10 be
much quoted
ANY system OF education that fails 70

value of motherhood. its imposing dig

it,

This quotable paper OF Mrs. Rogers evi-
IDENTIFY furnished President Roosevelt with
material and phrases for the address
which he delivered before the InteTna-
tional Congress on the Welfare OF the
child" The close parallel.sm between
the following dicJa Of the President and
the sentences from Mrs. Rogers article
given above is very striking.

Mr.. Johnson,s Qualities.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Gov. Johnson Is not an orator. But
there are few nen in the country who
can give a better account OF themselves
before an audience-l The Minnesota gov
ernor can talk faster for two hours and
make more friends and fewer enemies,
advance more plausible ideas. and skip
more hard nuts than any other man In
politics to-day. In short, without being
a hero or a profound public man. the
Minnesota governor is. as a candidate.
resourceful, human, and quick. just the
kind Of man who makes a good run In
Office he is quiet. modest ready. and de-
pen6able. One Of his most charming
characteristics is his handling of patron
age. II is the point at which most poll
ticians fall down. 1t IS the point at
which Johnson rises TO hts best

Justice 70 Porto Rico

4 long-deferred measure of Justice to
the people of Porto Rico is the bill ia
vo-ably reported TO the House by Repre-
sentative Cooper. Of Wisconsin, conferring
citizenship on all inhabitants OF that
island who were there on April II. 1893.
and who have continued their residence
there. IN his report on the bill Mr..
Cooper points out that Congress has al
ways treated the island as a part Of the
United States, and concludes that its
strategic importance removes "all doubt
concerning its permanent retention by
this government" In this respect Porto
Rico differs from the Philippines, as to
which our future policy is still somewhat
in question. Porto Rico has given us
little or no trouble as a colony. and no
controversy has ever been raised over the
wisdom of annexation in that quarter.
American citizenship will more closely
bind the Porto Ricans TO the home coun-
Try. and there is every reason why II
should be granted. We are glad to note
that the Cooper bill has every prospect OF
passage.
Another measure affecting Porto Rico
is that fixing the status of the Porto Rico
provisional regiment CT infantry. lately
introduced by Mr.. Hull, OF Iowa. During
the discussion OF the army appropriation
bill some question was raised as TO the
status OF this regiment, in which tho
Porto Rieans take great pride. An at
tempt was made to defeat the approprIa-
uon for this regiment on the ground that
by the terms Of the law authorizing IL
the regiment would be musered out on
July l Of the present year. While this
effort failed for the time being, Il seems
desirable that the regiment should be
given permanent place in the United
States army, and this is done in Mr.
Hulrs bill. AIR. Larrinaga. the Porso
Rican delegate, made an effective plea
for the regiment in the House. In the
course of which he showed that Porto
Rico had had an organized militia for
several centuries. and recounted a num-
Der Of acts Of valor accredited 20 the
citizen soldiery. He gave these reasons
for the maintenance of the regiment:
The creation Of the Porto Rican regiment has
been about the only token Of confidence and good
win that the American government has given To
the island Of Porto Rico. and I should consider
the mastering cut Of that regiment a very unjust
and unfair action on the part Of Congress
The Porto Ricsn regiment IS an institution Of
learning; it is school Of training for the Porto
Rican people; il Is school Of patriotism, and it
has done great deal Of good Il has IN some
way helped to modify the sentiments raised By the
injustice Of this Congress in giving TO Porto Rico
that organic act popularity known as the Foraker
act
The feeling with which Mr. Larrinaga
spoke shows that the mastering out Of the
provisional regiment would be a political
mistake. Forty years ago the Spaniards
did the same thing-did it because they
mistrusted the Porto Ricans. Our action
would be open to serious misconstruction

PIcnty OF Money Bchind n.

Washington LITER to the Brooklyn Eagle
Nobody seems to know just how much
money the Taft people are spending. II
is generally admitted that his campaign
to date has cast more than those for all
the other candidates combined. The Taft
headquarters IN this city has agents IN
practically every state IN the Union. most
of whom are established in local perma-
nent headquarters. They keep the wires
to Washington hot with tales OF what they
are accomplishing. A swarm OF Taft trav-
cling agents is constantly securing the
Southern States and there are representa-
tives in the East and West. The natural
effect of these widely different modes OF
campaigning has been to create a wide
public belief that Taft is having things
pretty much his own way.

Anarchists a Banning Problem.

From the Philadelphia Record.
1t is quite as impossible TO keep an
archists out Of the country as it is TO
keep bacili out of milk. The anarchist
does not bring his anarchy hither in
his handbag or wear it anywhere on
the outside OF his anatomy. He has il
secretly bestowed inside OF him in his
disordered mind. The professional mouth
ing anarchists who make the preaching
of anarchism an occupation and a means
Of livelihood can be dealt with; but the
wretches who strike first and talk after
ward, II they talk at all, furnish one
Of the most battling problems with which
civilized society has 70 deal.
