A tuberculosis congress is in ses- sion in Washington and distinguish ed specialists from all parts of the world are in council of war against disease that makes Waterloos and Sedans appear small in their com- parative slaughter. It is not only hoped, but believed, that science will finally be successful in this contest. Specialists believe the disease to be eradicable. Honest and distinguish ed physicians the world over are be- coming more and more modest and reticent with reference to curative practice and are claiming more ano more for the means of prevention. The assembling in Washington of the largest and most distinguished convention of physicians that the world has ever seen. marks an epoch in warfare against disease.

During the year ending June, 1907, the federal treasury deposited more than s100,0O0,000 in national banks. The Standard Oil bank in New York city and the two princi. pal banks dominated by J. Pierpont Morgan received about so per cent of those deposits, and all other banks in the United States got 20 per cent. When the small banker hears arguments from republican sources setting forth that party's so- licitude for the banker. it might be we'll to remember the figures herein set forth; they are from the official reports at Washington. They are exceedingly interesting to bankers, as well as to others.

The fact that Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts has been called to headquarters in Chicago cannot be interpreted as otherwise than indicating anxiety at republican headquarters with reference to the outcome of the presidential election. A few weeks ago, the odds were four to one in favor of Taft. as judged from a gambling standpoint--which, by the way, Is much keener and farther seeing standpoint than any other. The fact that the odds are not now by any means so great is ground for republican anxiety. There Is not complete satisfaction with MT Hitchcock's management, and the president himself, 1t is said, is im- patient and desires to see a more strenuous campaign. It is said that MT Hitchcock has been trying to do too much all by himself. While physically he is Atlas-shouldered, it is not thought that his experience or his intelligence is to be absolute ly trusted, hence there will be at the republican council table, older and more experienced, if not better ad- visers and managers.

That alleged Cleveland letter h;

That alleged Cleveland letter has given a number of editors a chance to back up, and it is Imaginable to note the way in which they are try ing to do it. A few weeks ago they saw Cleveland ideas and thoughts in every line of the fake. Now that it is shown he had nothing to do with it they are rapping the man who sold it to the editor who sprung it on an unsuspecting public. A public like Roosevelt, that is too eager to jump at conclusions without stop ping to think a minute. AS a cam

in the tipping system and could see
nothing in the joke until he learned the
identity of his FRIEND.
Col. James Woodlawn Brooks was
accosted by a recently introduced friend
few days ago with the request for a
private interview, which he readily
granted. When they were sitting on
opposite sides of table, with pair
of highball glasses between them, the
friend unfolded a scheme for making
81, 100000 for Brooks next year. Brooks
was interested, of course, but had the
foresight to inquire what investment
would be required of him. Only $4,000
cash now" said the friend. ooh, well,
if that is all that is necessary I'll just
take you down to the shooting gallery
and shoot a match game of two best in
three shots for the entire pot of $780,
000." The friend became "sore" and
quit trying to interest the colonel in
the new scheme. what in the world
would L want with a new scheme If l
had $60,000?" said Brooks. Then he was
asked what he would have done had
the friend accepted his offer of tar
get match for the big purse. Made
him put up first, of course, and he did
not have the money" he said.
Hen Berry may not be the Angels
jinks, but an observing fan remarked
Friday evening that 1t was remarkable
that the Angels could win all their
games when Hen was absent. Hen
started north Friday at 2:30 o'clock,
and the Angels broke their long win
ming streak that afternoon. They made
great record on the first northern
trip, but when they returned home and
Hen began to adorn the bench they
lost seven straights Hen will remain
in Frisco for few days, but, thank
goodness, he does net intend going to
Portland with the team. 1t is at Port

most want to win. to even UP with the

playing will be as interesting as the
last, as the Potter challenge cup will
be contested for in the women's handi-
cap singles. The cup previously has
been won twice by Miss May Sutton
and Miss Florence Sutton, and 1t seems
now that the fight will be between the
sisters for possession of 1t. Although
May Sutton will be handicapped, 1t Is
not expected that she will receive a
large enough handicap to prevent her
from winning Despite that Florence
Sutton is a remarkably fast player,
the opinion has been expressed by local
players that her sister May Sutton
could beat her in two out of three
matches, even though she were playing
under a fifteen handicap.

were two years ago. The local sport

get tennis goods from the manufac-
turers to fill their orders. In Los An
