PRESIDENT SCORED
THE DISTRICT JAIL
Recommended Founding of
a United States Prison
Hospital.

The attitude of President Roosevelt
toward the unhealthfuI conditions at
the United States Jail was disclosed to-
day, when it was learned that in a
communication which he addressed 70
Attorney General Bonaparte several
months ago he directed that official 10
urge upon Congress the necessity OF
the establishment OF a United States
prison-hospital for prisoners suffering
from tuberculosis.
The President was reused TO this ac-
ton, IL is said, by the report on the in
vestigatiOn into the case Of PaIIucia,
the Italian murderer, who was executed
last spring at the jail here. An at
tempt was made TO secure a pardon Tor
him because he was suffering from tu-
berculosis.
AT that time the President wrote a
long letter to the Attorney General. in
which he referred especially to the
conditions at the Washington jaH. He
called attention to the fact that pris-
oners suffering from the disease were
practically herded with the others.
Averse To Pardon.
That the Department of Justice is
averse to the granting OF a pardon to
the colored prisoner now at the jail
suffering from tuberculosis, is also
known, and it is said By an official Of
the department that Attorney General
Bo1taparte will not recommend to the
President the granting Of a pardon. but
Will direct his transfer to the District
tuberculosis Hospital

General believes IT would be a bad

Blames Congress.
For years the Department OF Justice
has made efforts 10 secure a new jail
in the District of Columbia. but Con-
gress always has failed TO grant the re-
quest apparently too absorbed In little
local arfairs to see that in the Capital
of the Nation. If nowhere else, there
should be a prison that would be q
model of its kind
In the absence of Attorney General
Bonaparte. Assistant Attorney General
Charles W. Russell, who is now in
charge of the Department OF Justice,
thus passes up the blame for the exist
ence of such a jail as Washington
boasts of, to the members of Congress
and their short-sighted policy of false
economy and utter disregard of Wash
ington affairs.

C. A. Black for Clerk

Chester A. Black the present city clerk has an announcement in this issue of the Sun requesting the sup port of his friends for recollection to that office.
 Mir. Black has gone through the trials and tribulations of the office during the two years passed and made good in every respect. He has been accommodating to the public and efficient in handling the many exacting duties of the office and is undoubtedly the right man in the right place. He has made a host of friends by his even-temp- cred, patient handling of the peo- pies affairs and it will be surpris- ing if he does not run like scared wolf.

The parsonage of the Marina Street Methodist church was the scene of a quiet wedding Monday at high noon when Miss Libbie E. Harden and William M. Wilson were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Rev. L. w. Wheatley officiated, the impressive ring cere- mony being used. Only few inti- mate friends of the contracting parties were present.

 Conditions since January have improved slowly, but even now 50 per cent of the mills machinery lies idle and what would have been used up in two months, will, at the present rate, occupy the mills at least twice that period. Condi- tions undoubtedly will improve gradually, but not in week or a month can we look for resump- tion of our former prosperity and it may be many months before the mills are filled with orders.
 Notwithstanding the present conditions which cannot be over looked, there is one bright feature about the situation of which we are positively assured. namely, that the country at large has been, and still is, as evidence shows, in fundamentally sound condition. Our enormous productive facilities have not been impaired and with the energy and enterprise of the American people thls depression can only be temporary.

Every man knowing that he is useful,
admircs himself

Very few people stop to think
about what our prosperity costs year
by year in human life. In a paper
contributed to Il syndicate magazine,
W. G. Fitz-Gerald gives some start
ling statistics along this line. He
quotes President Roosevelt as author
ity for the statement that the casual
ties attendant upon peaceful indus
tries exceed those which happen un-
der Il great and perpetual war. As
showing how little the captains of in
dustry care for such things an inven-
tor says:-"If | produce a device to
save time, | can sell II readily in 20
places but If | offer an idea for saw
ing life. | cannot dispose of it at all. %
We would shudder at the thought of
disaster that destroyed $500 pen-
pie, but when that great number is
distributed over the country every
year It is hardly considered. The
present average of the railroads OF
the country is about 80 killed and
$50 injured every day. Not only the
railroads, but the mines and quarries,

attention than 1t has up to the pres
ent time. Life Is more sacred in tho
cider nations than 1t Is with ours
! and the hope Is that as we advance
in years, we may also progress in the

My personal judgment is, inasmuch
as Hawaii. If taken by foreign
Power, would be a base for attack
on the Pacific Coast, it is the most
important place to be put in a condi-
ton of strong defence. II is more inn
portant in this regard than any
place on the coast.
mo nation in the world could con-
duct a naval campaign so far from
home as would be necessary in the
Pacific without controlling Hawaii
Consequently the Pacific Coast will
be practically safe SO long as we are
able to keep an enemy from taking
over Pearl Harbor. think this years
appropriation for this purpose will
be liberal enough to meet the views
of all reasonable persons"

There was an idea in the olden time
and II is not yet dcad-that whoever
was educated ought not to work
that his should use his head ana not
his hands. Graduates were ashamed
to be found engaged in manual labor,
IN plCughing fields, in sowing OF IN
gathering grain. To this manly kind
Of independence they preferred the
garnet and the precarious existence Of
an unapprcciated poet, borrowing
their money from their friends, and
their ideas from the dead. The edu.
Gated regarded the useful as dcgrdd-
ing.-thcy were willing to stain their
souls to keep their hands white. The
object Of all education should be 10
increase the usefulness OF mam--usC.
tulnces TO himself and others. Every
human being should be taught that
his first duty Is TO take care Of him
self, and that to be sclf-respectIng he
must be self.suppOrting. To live on
The labor Of others. either by force
which Cnslaves, or by cunning which
rOos. or by borrowing OF begging, Is
wholly dighonorabe. Every man
should be taught some useful art. His
hands should be educated as wei as
his head. lie should be taught to deal
with things as they are-with life as
it Is This would give Il feeling OF
independence, which is the frmesr
