VIEWS OF PEOPLE ON TIMELY TOPICS
Pumpkin Pie.

Editor The Washington Herald.
There has been considerable discussion
lately relative to the merits of pumpkin
pie and squash pie. I would like To tell
of my experience in the matter as 1
think I am wen qualified 10 tell of the
merits of these pies, having raised a fam
ily of pie-eaters.
In the New England States I am told
pie is considered "a breakfast dish of no
mean position and although I am not a
New Englander, I have never known the
time when ] could not cat with relish
piece of pumpkin pie for breakfast
I do not believe il is good for my chill
dTen TO begin the day with sweets so I
have never allowed them 10 have any in
the morning but I do let them have a
piece for dinner.
Squash pie, in my mind. is only another
name for the soft, indigestibIe pie sold
over luuchro0m counters under the name
Of pumpkin pie. OF course, there is such
thing as squash pie-I mean real
squash pie-bUt / do not believe any one
ever cared for IT,
Pumpkin pie is q wedge OF indesCTib-
able delight. Squash pie. the real squash
pie has somewhat faky taste. and Is
not at all the sweet substance which
has delighted kings and euthraued Pres.-
dents-our old fav0rite, the pumpkin
pie.

TREASURY CHECKS ON BANKS
Secretary of Treasury slow tO Move,
As il Reluctant to Distinguish
Himself by Doing What No Secre-
tary Has Done in sixty Years, but
All Did from I7s0 IN 1916.

James c. Hallock. who represents the
Baltimore clearing house, in urging the
Treasury to draw checks ON banks in
stead of demanding cash, complains that,
though the matter has beer officially be-
fore the department since August. in the
form of an application from the collector
of customs at Baltimore for permission to
deposit customs receipts in banks there,
the Secretary cannot make up his mind.
"Indecision sees lions by the way,
says Mr. Hallock. in an interview on Sat
urday,
"In the Wilderness campaign Gen,
Meade" cites Mr.. Hallock. in illustra-
tion. at the end of an acrimonious in
tcrYiew, once proposed 10 relieve Gen.
Sheridan Of the command OF the cavalry
corps. and reported 10 Gen. Grant, as
proof Of Sheridan's impracticable no
tions. that he said he could whip Stuart
if Meade would only let him. Grant re-
marked: Did he say so? Then let him go

THE POPULATION or FRANCE.

The statistics on the population Of
France which appeared few days ago
have been the occasion OF some of those
cries Of alarm that we hear periodically
France is becoming depopuIated" II is
needfuI to be on ones guard against TAX
ing these words literally, az is too often
done in England. SAYS the Westminster
Gazette. France is not becoming depopU-
lated. seeing that there is always an eX-
cess of births over the deaths. and that.
besides, the number Of naturalizatiOns IS
pretty considerable In France. The out
cry about depopuatiOn means merely
that the excess of births over deaths is
less in France than in Germany. in Eng
land. in Italy. &c. Here are the figures
for 1876: Births. So6SG (only 1H fower
than i'm 1905). deaths. 7S0,l95 00025 more
than in 1867
II is interesting 10 compare the mean
number of births per 100 during the last
FIVE years in the principal European ma
tions. IN france, DIG: ia Great Britain,
S4; in Belgium. 81. in italy, 3L5. in Ger
many, 25, In Austria. g. Such is the po-
sition Of France from the point Of view
of births it is less brilliant than that of
It's neighbors It is proper. however. 20
remark that the birth rate IN France re-
mains tolerably steady. il even rose
slightly about fifteen years ago. whereas
exactly the contrary phenomenon IS OBJ
served In Germany and England.
In order to appreciate the movement OF
the population Of a country, II is neces-
saTy To consider not only the number of
births and deaths bat also the occurrence
Of naturalization and emigration. Alto
gether the population Of France has in
creased about 4o0oo00 between 1S1 and
1857

The Labor Question.

Editor THE Washington Herald.
The labor question of our country is Of
The gravest Importance. What would our
great progressing country DO with its
thousands Of corporations and Industries
without the tens of thousands Of laboriug
men, the very backbone Of our progress
and slceeSs2 Through the long hours o..
toll which these men are forced 20 endure
they produce our many needs and neCes-
sites Of life. thereby gaining and ac-
CumulatuE for their masters the great
wealth and prosperity which they enjoy.
These masters of fortunes would be as
poor rs the lah0ror were it not for the
work which these men perform Though
man is not born a perpetual machine, yet
iu some instances. these men may be
compared AS such.
1r "a majority Of cases these men are
very poorly paid. compared with the pres
r1t cost Of living. ana TN many instances
ave insufficient means to support a re-
suoCt8hlc family. and for this reason
many Of them fear the very thoughts Of
uarriage. Consequently, I'm time the pub
li. viii feel the decrease OF men of this
Gloss TO take the places Of their prede-
cess.I'. hy the deficiency In the products
of our country.
Thousands Of men who arc fathers sell
dom get Il glimpse Of their children. their
time during the week being fully occupied
lSUHday included in some iustanCeS). and
when Sunday comes with its sunshine and
rest they go out and indulge In the many
pleasures thrown open to them-the Sun
day theater. for example. unless they
reside in a city where the Sunday laws
are strictly in effect In this way these
men do not lead n home life, which is
of the greatest Importance 10 the lives
Of their children, who should be instruct
ed and led along the right road by them.
but instead tens of thousands of these
children are Just growing" without
proper education or parental influence
over them
I know Of one instance where a man.
once strong athletic and robust, took a
position with a railroad company He
was obliged TO leave home at $50 a. m,
and would not return until after o. IN.
SUNDAYS included. His children were I'm
bed when he left in the morning. and in
bed when he returned at night; conse-
quently they seldom saw their father un-
less he awoke them on his return to
have a little froiic with them. He is now
thin and weak. and has the appes rance Of
a consumptive. This is only one of many
cases. STANLEY Il. DePUE.

that iR a few weeks more there will be
q heydsy Of prosperity IN the country az
bright as fl was two years ago.
Conditions sound.
1t is true and it has been constantly
emphasized in this place that financial
and business conditions in the country
are now more sound and strong than
they have ever been before after a SINH
Jar period Of disturbance 10 the country
The panic Of 1871 was due 10 a general
smash in the countrys wildcat banking
system so that a man who had $1,000 Of
what he thought was good money in his
pocket overnight might not be able 10
buy breakfast with it the next morn
ing. The panic of 1873 was IN its essence
the collapse Of the wartime imitation,
when those who had bought commodities
on a preposterousIy high currency basis
were forced to pay for them in gold
Labor troubles, oveTbUilding of railways,
and doubt as to the stability Of the
countrys monetary structure We're In
general the reasons for the financial crises
of the land since 1913 up 10 and including
1856 None of these evils is present to-
dav. and the sources OF the panic of 1907
are those which. as is now generally Un-
derst1od. may prove Of but relatively tenn
porary character. For all this it is plain
that questions as 20 the course q the
financial market during the remainder
Of the year are of a more delicate and
difficult nature than any that have arisen
for many years back and call for most
careful and sober consideration Of the
most highly trained financial Intellect.

would simply have made money change
hands but left il in this cOuntTy-rather
than to the relief OF those banks that
could and would have protected the pro-
ducers. the failures of which protection
might have cost the nation milliong Of
dollars, and wrecked the fortunes and
ruined the homes of hundreds of plain,
innocent. honest. hard-worldng. provident
producers Of the real wealth and sub
stantial success of the country.

Cur Future Life.

Editor The Washington Herald.
We have always been taught from our
catechisms. creeds. and pulpits. presuma-
bly, On Bible authority doctrine, and sen
tlmrutS which have been beautifully ex-
pressed by the poet. as follows:
There IS u8 death.
What seems so Is transition.
This life n mortal breath
j. hlt the pathway
To the life Elysiau.
Whose portals ne call death
IN view of the above. if, as we are
taught. the good and bad reach Heaven
or he'll respectively, through death. the
diyiueIy ordained gateway thereto. how
could Father Adam ever have gotten to
Heaven if he had remained sinIess? For,
i'm view of the plain Bible statement
The wages of sin is death" The soul
that siuneJh it shall die and Rom, v:l2
which tell us that death only entered
the world as a result of and after Adam 3
transgressiOn; had Adam. therefore, not
siunfd, he would not have died and
according to the commonly accepted the
illogical teachings. had ne not died ne
could. of course. never have passed
through the only diyinely appointed gate
way 10 Heaven or he'll, namely, death
The logical conclusion would be, from
an the above authorities, that Adam, by
his sinful act opened up a possible gate
way TO Heaven for this obedient descend
ants which they could never have had
the advantage of had he remained sinless,
and through which gateway he passing
and being a sinner, went TO hell though
in reality he had conferred a favor on
them and was their benefactoT, for we
are told Heaven is a much more desirable
place 10 live i'm than ON this earth. The
above seems To be a logical conclusion
but We confess is rather confusing. win
some one help us out of the muddle?

CorteIyou's Opportunity,

No Secretary of the Treasury in sixty
years has had a collector deposit Gus
toms receipts TN New York banks, none
in forty years has had checks drawn on
United States deposits i'm New York banks,
instead of squeezing cash out of them.
Secretary Cortelyou has the chance Of
lifetime Though amazingly slow in
reaching conclusion, will he not arrange
for dcpositing customs receipts I'm banks
at subtreasury cities and drawing checks
on deposits which. as Senator Aldrich
said last winter, are subject to check
al any timeg IF ne does not. people will
shake their heads and wonder how Pres
ident Roosevelt ever came to place the
national finances in his care when. ac-
cording to the President. a Secretary Of
the Treasury stands between them and
business disaster, with a crisis occurring
every year
rs another crisis in 1908 to be met as
the one in 1907 was. without following the
example Of Hamilton and drawing checks
on public deposits in banks at subtreas-
