Graft, II il an explanation Of tempta-
tions that confront politicians, busi-
ness men, and others who given and take
brides 1t is wonderful in its federation
and its breadth Of sympathy.
At the beginning Of the article Mr..
Steifens makes a remarkable confession.
Coming, All it does. from the man who
has done more than any other to expose
graft, 1t is d significant statement. MIR.
Steffens says:
sympathy and understanding are the
neeu of the hour. We Americans have
been out on a man-hullt. Some OF us
still are at it. We are crying to nave
somebody put in Jail; to make some in

catch some victim some day and we may
wreak upon him our hate hate this

bav in il, and | am sick Of 1t. / am con-
WINGED that if l should follow far
enough the human trail | was on. l
should catch myself. For I have gone
far enough already TO see where ] am
to blame; how have done or neglected
to do things which have contributed to
the guilt Of the most intelligent rascal
in the United States. And, if have not
done wrongs as great as his, ! wish me-
yer again to forget that | have lacked

men. that hurt rs; it is bad conditions.
not ill-will. that make men do wrong;
AZ the victims Of the Law can see in San

truth into their prayers for pity and par
don-for themselves. Why not for
others.

Drug Habit Reported to Be Increas-
ing in the District.

Despite the fact that a. supposedly
stringent law was put into effect in the
District more than two years ago as a
District. officials say the consumption of
cocaine is increasing. and the public in
terests demand a still more rigorous
measure to prevent its unlawful DISPOSE
ton and use. With this object in view the
Commissioners today forwarded to Chair
man Smith of the House District COM
mittee draft of bill to amend a sec
ton Of the drugs and poison law.
This amendment provides that it shall
be unlawful for any person other than a
registered druggist. physician. dentist or
veterinarian while pursuing his re-
spective profession to have in his pos
session. except as heretofore provided
any substance or preparation of cocaine,
morphine or laudanum except upon a pre-
scription of a physician. and then only
when the same is inclosed in bottle or
other package bearing the name of the
physician prescribing the same and the
name of the person for whom it is pre-
scribed.
In asking for the early enactment of
this amendment the Commissioners in
formed Chairman Smith that number of
persons have been arrested within the
past year in this jurisdiction with cocaine
prisoner carried book with the body cut
out in the center and filled with the drug.
The Commissioners say that a provision
similar to the one they have asked Con-
gress to enact is in force in many other
Jurisdictions.

GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE MEETS
Plans for a Session Late This After
noon.

Arrangements have been made by the
grievance committee of the Building
Trades Council to hold a meeting at 4:;W
o'clock this afternoon at headquarters in
the Hutchins building. II is expected
several international officers may be pres
ent. The reported friction between the
committee and members of the brick
layers union will be taken up. 1t is said.
and Secretary James Mc1ver will make
his report.
Secretary McIver has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"Of the 300 master builders or con-
tractors in the District there but
eighteen or twenty who are still fighting
for the open shop. The majority of build
ers are employing union men. OF the
10000 mechanics in the District of Column
Dia there have been but 10 per cent of
them idle in the last year. OF this num-
Der 10 per cent were out on account OF
the strike. The remaining 10 per cent
were idle from various causes. The recent
money stringency, the usual dull times
experienced every year in the months of
January and February with the building
trades and the approaching presidential
campaign are some OF the chief causes.
II wish you would say for me and for
all laboring men that 30 per cent of the
building work done in the District is
being done by union mechanics.
The jobs from which men were called
off in the last few days are small affairs
and are being handled by small con-
tractors

THE EAT Err
Piano MonoloRue.

Leslie Harris. the English piano monol-
ogists. gave the first of a series Of three en-
tertainments at the Columbia Theater yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Harris proved him.
self not only wholesomely humorous. but
also extremely clever at the piano. his
paraphrases of The Merry Widow waltz
in the manners Of Mozart, Chopin and
Sousa being artistic as we'll as amusing,
although the audience trembled for the
piano during the Sousa outbreak.
About the only way to describe the
entertainment given by MIR. Harris is to
say that it is varied succession Of
songs. representations. narratives. with
musical accomplishments and confidential
conversations with his audience But this
gives by no means an adequate idea of the
performance. Mr.. Harris has a power OF
facial expression which aids him immense
ly in his portrayal of types. and his i'm
presentations of women gOssiping at a tea
were given the necessary touch of realism
by this faculty and that of initiative pos
turing.
One of his most successful sketches was
that Of three amateurs singing a scene
from a grand opera. Mr.. Harris imper-
sonated in turn the soprano, with a
cold. the villainous baritone and the
throaty tenor The performance was
heartily applauded throughout and the
laughter at times was incessant.

A WONDERFUL CURE

when my little boy was six weeks old an
eruption broke out on his face. took him to a
doctor and got ointments and medicines but
his face kept on getting worse until it got So
bad that no could look at him. His whole
face was one crust, and must have been very
painful He scratched day and night until his
face sometimes looked like a raw piece of meat
l was nearly insane with his scratching day and
night Then 1 took him to all the best special
much for him. He sometimes screamed with
pain when put on the salve they gave me.
when he was two years old the eczema got
on his arms and legs so that had to keep them
bandaged up. and / made gloves for his hands
so the nails could not poison him worse. We
could not get a nights sleep In months. and my
husband and l all broken up. Then my
mother asked why did not give up the doctors
and try Cuticura. So I got a set. and he felt
lieved the first time l used them. the Cuticura
Ointment felt so cool. He used to wake up and
ask for Cuticura to be put on when he itched
SO badly that he could not sleep. and he would
say. Oh mamma, that makes my sores feel SO
good.' l gave the Cuticura Remedies a good
trial. and gradually the eczema healed all up.
and now be is well any other children. He
is now seven years old and the cure has lasted
