A loaf of bread baked twenty
eight years ago by Mrs. W. Scott
Barnes, is in the possession of Mrs,
Mary Wakeland, Churchville, Har-

natural and good as ever, although
it must be said that it is somewhat
dried out and hard, and would be

Minister WIS Message.

Between China. whose brilliant
diplomatic representative. WI Ting
fang. has now resumed his old prac-
tice of speaking directly to the peo-
pie of America, and the United
States there exists a substantial
feeling of friendship and good will
In recent times, as the minister has
pointed out, this country has done
much to secure for the Chinese en-
pire liberal and respectful treat
ment from the more aggressive
powers.
Secretary Hay was notably sue
cessful in this particular branch of
diplomatic endeavor, and il may
safely be said that the United
States is firmly committed to the
policy of giving China fair chance
to make a place for itself in the
political and commercial world.
Minister WI pleads for a square
deal. His use of this American term
suggests ms familiarity with the
fast that China has no stronger or
sincerer friend today than the
country in the shadow of whose
Capitol he makes his residence.
Mr.. WI asks our merchants seri-
ously to consider the commercial
progress of China. He would have
them make particular study Of the
demands of the Chinese market. It
is not enough 10 know that there
are opportunities in that direction.
Opportunity is one thing; practical
and profitable use of it is another.
BY this time the American mer-
chant is learning that IL pays to
give the foreigners exactly what
they want

Some of the lnCidentalS.

The chief merit of a probation
and parole system is, of course,
that it saves character. Stand or
fall, the system depends on that.
But there are certain incidental
benefits which should move Con-
gress to make room for the bill re-
ported favorably last Friday by the
Senate District Committee.
1t viii enable the more worthy of
the men convicted TO support their
own families instead of making
them charges of the state.
1t will preclude later trials of the
same persons, in more than so per
cent of the persons parOled.
II will enable the courts more
nearly to fix punishments accord
ing to an examination into the pris-
oner's own need. and not according
TO the snap judgment of a brief
trial

congestion at a Jail built TO accom-
modate 800, and made 10 hold with

II will work n saving Of probably
$4,000 in the keep of prisoners, at
a total cost of less than $4,000.
Put together, all this does not
weigh in the scales as heavy as saw
ing 5000 or $500 Of our fellows TO
good citizenship. But almost any
item among these incidental bene-
fits ought TO be enough to get CON
sideration for the bill.

believes. The fact that he. Howell,
is a Democratic leader is the only
thing TO add especial interest to his
expression of this view.
The other day The Times pointed
out that there is particularly good
reason why the Republicans should
this year name their very strongest
candidate for President. That is,
that this year the Republicans face
the necessity of overturning, if pos
sible, precedent firmly established
in American history; the precedent
which dictates that in the next
Presidential election after a Imam
ciaI panic, the country changes po-
liticaI parties.
When Republicans and Democrats
agree who is the party's strongest
possible nominee; and when condi-
tions make absolutely certain that
none but the strongest man is the
safe man; in such a time. does it
not seem fatuous beyond belief that
the Republicans should name a man
of secondary strength?
The Republican party loves sue
cess. 1t doesn't thrive on adversely.
II has good digestion and habit
of eating three times a day. It has
been cool. calculating. unenthusi-
astic, businesslike organization when
the question between winning and
losing was to be decided. IL has
always decided with its judgment,
not its enthusiasm
This year its judgment and its
enthusiasm both point TO the same
candidate. President Roosevelt.
Is it 10 be believed that the party
will desert all it's traditions of good
sense and good politics this year?

Mr.. HOWelI'S Opinion.

Clark Howell, editor of the At
lanta Constitution, probably the
most influential newspaper in the
South, has been in Washington. He
thought Secretary Taft altogether
likely to be nominated; expected
Mr.. Bryan to be the Democratic can
didato; and was sure, in this situa-
ton, that the Democrats should win
if they are ever to do so. Then
came his but; very large and sug-
gestive one:
However. Mr.. Howell conceded.
speaking of the President, ''if ne
should run, I have no doubt he
would sweep aside many barriers
and party prejudices which would
exist in the case of other candi-
dates and which would draw sharp
lines between the two great parties.
He is a man of wonderful ability,
and he has made great friendships
throughout the South among Demo
Gratis as well as among Republic
cans"

Women and the Union Station.

Under the caption Where the
Women Folks Can Help" there ap-
peared in these columns two weeks
ago a suggestion that our mothers,
wives. sisters. and daughters unite
to further these causes:
l. \ chiId-labor law for the Capt.
tai of the United States.
>. Penal and correctional reform
for the Capital of the United States.
3. Pure and clean milk for the
Capital of the United States.
4. Fairgrounds for the Capital of
the United States.
>. Safe schools and enough schools
for the Capital of the United States.
Now. there comes 10 hand a letter
from a woman reader. who asks us
to add a sixth cause TO the list,
thus:
g. Safe and proper transportation
10 the Union Station at the Capital
of the United States.
In support of her request. our
correspondent argues
The writer wishes that these women
had the power 20 call Congress to &C
count for the many cases of pneumonia
and illness and death incident 10 the
last winters exposure to snow and rain
and slush. Not every one who has %

Il seems strange that the railroads
themselves do not run their little cabs
back and forth 20 the depot for a 5-ceni
fare They could ply like ferryboats
II would Increase trade The writer
knows of instances where trips Were
abandoned because Of the distance and
the weather. Now soon the blazing sun

II the women can do other things
ask them to undertake, i'm behalf Of the
invalid the aged. the little child. tnai
they may 90 and come in comfort.
Congress has made a fine muddle
Of the Union Station situation while
on the Job. 1t has tied 10 what
should have been a simple PROPOSE
ton 70 run street ears across the
plaza certain clauses which it is
dangerous TO let 60. The Times
has several times urged compro-
mise-that the Senate agree TO a
supervision of all our street car
lines by the Commissioners, and the
House forego its demand for a uni
versal transfer. But So far they
pull and haul contrariwise. and, as
our correspondent indicates, we are
the sufferers.
We would not incite the women of
Washington to a siege of Congress
for the world. They have troubles
enough up on the Hill without
that. But we venture the opinion,
merely the individual opinion OF an
outsider. that if the women folks of
certain Congressman we know were
to put orally across the breakfast
table tomorrow morning what this
woman has written down. then a
sensible. busincsslike. and gingery
Union Station bill would be made
law this week.

Eight Young Women Escape
From Dive on Rope

bers Of wealthy families. climbed down

stories and made their escape today
when a luxuriously furnished opium den
was raided in Walston street, Williams
burg Three girls and two men were
arrested.
For months the police Of Williams
burg have suspected the existence OF
such a place, but had been unable 10
find it. Frequent complaints were re-
ceived from parents who said their
daughters had been lured into an opium
den. but not until this week was any
victim aide TO give definite information
as 10 the location.
Detectives GrOssman and Robbins set
out 10 follow the latest clue and after
house-to-house search of the neigh
bOrhOod, decided TO watch the place
which proved TO be the object of their
search. After they saw half a dozen
young women go into the place today
they called for reserves and tried 10
force the door BY error they failed
to place a guard at the rear Of the
house and the eight young women es-
capped by means OF the rope ladders
which evidently had been prepared for
just such an emergency.
The front door was fastened within
by iron bars and the police had much
difficulty in gaining admission. Within

den with costly furniture and fine Orr
