AT the National Capital
Gossip of People and Events
Gathered in Washington
Coming White House Season to Be Cav

for young people, followed by a dance.
Occasionally the parents had a few Of
their friends in to dinner, but the So
cial and official programs OF the pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt left little
time OF their calendar for any affairs
that Miss Alice might have had in
mind. So the little clique of which
the presidents daughter was a men,
Der saw to it that her seasons pro-
gram was full.
However, this does not promise to
be the case when the younger daugh-
ter of the White House blooms out as
a full fiedged social flower. She will
have a brilliant ball-the fairy story
writer's have fixed this important
event for early in January, just after
the official season Opens-and from
that time until the curtain rings
slowly down on the administration
of Theodore Roosevelt his young
daughter will be the center of a bril-
liant whirl. Society even hopes that
her engagement will be announced be-
fore the close of her fathers term, al
though even the most daring social
gossips have not yet selected a life
mate for Miss Ethel.

Teddy Interested in Statue of Self

take any chances on fate or African
lions, so James f. Fraser, Of New
York, who was commissioned to exc
cute it months ago, was ordered to
hurry up the heroic touches and sub
nit the design in plaster.
A few days ago he notified the
superintendent of the capitol build
ing that it was ready to be worked
into marble, and the command for
him to go ahead was about to be is
sued, when word came from Oyster
Bay that not another stroke of work
was to be done until the president had
looked himself i've and was pleased
with the glad smile he was to hand
down to p~Osterity.
1t is impossible to learn whether Mr..
Fraser has nodded Mr.. Roosevelt as
the presiding officer Of the senate, in
the uniform of a rough rider, or in a
tennis costume. 1t is understood that
the sculptor is chiefly concerned over
whether he has the proper number of
teeth showing and the presidential
glasses sitting at the correct angle.

ROOSEVELT EXTRAVAGANCE.
Appropriation of Present Administra.
ton Greater than in Civil War;.

Official figures compiled by the
clerks of the house and senate COM
mlttees on appropriations show that *
expenditures aggregating l ZOOS, 397,-
o43.56 were authorized at the last ses-
sion of congress. These are the heavi-
est appropriations ever made in time
of peace.
When the country vas astOnished at
the spectacle of a billion dollar con-
Sress, Speaker Reed could offer no
excuse except a plea that this had be-
come a billion dollar country. But
under the Roosevelt regime we have
attained the two billion dollar con-
gress, which appropriates a thousand
millions at each annual session. The
appropriation during the last four
years of R~OOseveltism have mounted
up to $3,42S,00 900 900, or $50, 900, 900
more than during four years of civil
war.

In an article prepared for the ami
Nersary number of the World, Senator
Allison, the venerable Republican
chairman of the senate committee on
appropriations, showed that since 1883
there had come an annual Increase of
$51, 900, 900 in expenditures for the
army, an annual increase of $S4, 000,-
600 for the navy and an annual in
crease of $50, 900, 900 for pensions.
These three items alone represent a
total of 1881 900, 900 in the appropria-
tons authorized at the recent session
of congress.
This is an annual tax of more than
$3.50 on every man, woman and child
in the United States for army, navy
and pensions alone. 1t represents an
average of $3.50 for each family, or
more than half the average months

THAT the theory advocated by DR..
L Osler, the distinguished scientist,
who, while a member of the faculty of
Johns Hopkins university, declared
that mans usefulness is at an end
after passing life siXtieth milestone, is
q theory that will not stand the test of
application to everyday life, is the
firm belief of the vast majority of peo-
pie who have passed that age and con-
tinue to lead decidedly useful lives
and to take as keen an interest in af-
fairs as many younger members of
society. Not only this, but they give
the Osler theory a solar plexus punch
by achievements accomplished after
passing the allotted three-score years
and ten.
One of the most notable examples
that interest in life does not cease at
the age Of 60 is to be found in Mrs.
Annie E. P%hilpOtt, who, at the age of
SO. is still a most cheerful and eff
ficient employe of the government
bureau of engraving and printing.

That was two months ago. After talk
ing with the commission merchants,
retail dealers and others who handle
eggs, the inspectors reported that con.
ditions were satisfactory. From wha.
the merchants told them there was no
truth in the article, they reported.
Inspector Hoover's report was es.
pecially interesting in view of the fact
that he said:
Il have talked with retail dealers
and they have informed me that their
eggs are all right and that they have
received no complaints from their
customers"
Since then, however, there have
been complaints. The inspectors have
been directed to % more than inquire.
They are to make rigid Investigations.
According to one official of the food
division Of the health department,
there will not be SO many eggs turned
over to the cold storage to await
prices" when the health department
gets through with its work.

POLITICAL

1t is up to the Republican managers
in Ohio to begin refilling the dinner
buckets if they expect to hold on to
Taft's state.
The hardest fight of the Democrats
in this campaign is to keep the Re
publicans off their platform.
But, then, if it was the fear of the
WilsOn-GOrman tariff law of 1894 that
caused the panic of 1898, what was it
the fear of that caused the panic of
1907?
Shall the people rule? Eventually.
Speaker Cannon has already passed
the three-scOre-and-ten mark.
If there is a prosperity parade for
campaign purposes this fall Chairman
Hitchcock might hire those hundred
men who slept in the Morgue chapel,
because there was no other refuge for
them, to carry his full dinner pals
with the disused chicken legs visibly
sticking out of the excelsior contents.
The federal official whom Roosevelt
has just threatened with dismissal for
"pernicious activity" is not in the
south, but in New York. He has doubt
less been operating at cross purposes
with some of Roosevelt's plans in the
Empire state.
AS we look forward to an $8,000,-
100000 crop, it occurs to us how
calamitous it would have been If the
Democrats had had their way and re-
vised the tariff last spring, SO insuring
a complete failure of the crops this
fall. It's funny how wheat is heavy
and corn tall according to whether the
duty on steel rails is As or rs per cent.

It was inevitable that Mr.. Bryan
should make the most, during the
campaign, Of the sharp differences
within the Republican party; that he
would overlook no opportunity to en-
phasize that Republican leadership in
cludes both the radical Roosevelt and
the reactionary Cannon; that if Roose-
welt dictated the presidential cand1-
date, Cannon chose the vice-presiden-
tial, and the platform was made by
the conservatives, and that Mr.. Taft
was compelled to adopt those orphan
issues which Chairman Hopkins adj
vised be taken to Denver" by de-

It is to the development and expo

Mr.. Bryan makes a strong statement
of the case as to the tariff revision,

WITH INTERESTS"
RAILROADS AND CORPORATIONS
ARE OUT FOR TAFT.
They Do Not Fear the Ex-War Secre-
tary as They Seemed to Have
Feared RooseveIt-NoW
Very CompIacent.

F.. H. Hartman has made his con
tribution to the Taft campaign fund,
according to report. The railroads,
through their majority owners, are
supposed to be throwing such influ-
ence as they have to the Republican
candidate. The trusts are for Taft.
The interests are for Taft. The pos
SCISSORS of "~privileges' are for Taft.
The last one of those smitten by the
militant author of my policies" in
that famous message sent to congress
last January has turned the other
cheek and fawned on the man chosen
by Roosevelt as the nominee of the
Republican party. Do the strange
relationships of politics hold any
parallel?
Corrupt business and corrupt poll
tics" wrote the president in that mes
sage, 'act and react with ever in
creaSing debasement, one on the
other" And he continued thus: "The
rebate taker, the franchise trafficker,
the manipulation of securities. the pur-
veyOr and protector of vice, the black
mailing ward boss, the ballot-box
suffer, the demagogue, the mob
leader, the hired bully and man-killer
all alike work at the same web of
corruption, and all alike should be
abhorred by honest men"
That was given out about the time
when the fear that Roosevelt would
himself be renominated had caused
the planning and partial execution of
the hurt business" campaign. The
proud wearers of the epithets in the
presidential TRADE were seeking to
capitalize commercial misfortune. and
they persisted until the emphasis of
repeated denials brought final assur-
anc that Roosevelt was not and
would not be a candidate. But the
horror and fear of Roosevelt has not
been passed along to Taft. He is
apparently in the good graces of the
rebate takers, franchise traffickers and
the manipulators of securities. The
hurt business" campaign has been
succeeded by another in which the

claiming for it the restoration of the
prosperity which it all but destroyed.
Why is it that the particular forces
at whom Mr.. Roosevelt aimed that
awful January %broadside are now so
complacent? Has the threat to make
them honest been withdrawn? Has
the fear that their privileges" will be
disturbed been stilled? Why has the
dreadful cabal and conspiracy against
the White House been dissolved? Has
it been found, or has it been prom
