WASHINGTON GOSSIP
 A SPASM OF VIRTUE
Which Seems to Be Over so Far as the
 District of Columbia is Concerned.

Washington, April 7.-(Special Cor
 respondence of The Republican.)-Th District of Columbia is at present suf- fering intensely from an arrested spasm of virtue. At the opening of the session of congress we were threaten ed with prohibitory law. Then came strenuous and sustained attack on the race track and the gambling con nected herewith. Finally an effort
 was made to do away with bucketshop gambling. Up to this writing all these attempts have proved abortive. The races are being run daily to the delec- tation of the multitude and the emi- nent satisfaction of the bookmakers( The bucketshops are open and doing business and the saloons are working from 4 a. m. to midnight. On the whole it does not seem that we have gotten very far toward reform.
 IL is to be hoped that before autumn congress Will have enacted law to put a stop to betting at the races
 Washington is peculiar in it's population and because of this fact suffers more from the racing in the spring and fall than would likely be the case with any other city of the same size. The larger part of the population, and especially of the race goers. is composed of em- ployes of the government. receiving stated salary on which they and their families are absolutely dependent. Consequently almost every dollar lost at the race track goes out of circula- ton. The argument is frequently ad- vanced that the races bring money to This is the sheerest sort of nonsense. The $2 per head con tributed by the patrons of the track l pays the purses and all expenses con- nected with the operation of the track | For every dollar that is brought here and spent here by the bookmakers, |

CONTEST NOTICE
Department of the Interior,
 TTDita1 Sfo+ae o,l Oer:a.
RotdttS I1tIIu OIIICt, Phoenix Arizona, March .. 1908


 Phoenix Arizona, March 9. 1908. sufficient contest affidavit having been filed in this office by Barnet H. Lee, contestant, against Homestead entry No. 623, made Feb 14, 1907. for SEE 1-4. Section 32, Township 1 N. Range F., by Fred Hopkins contestee. in which it is alleged that said Hop kins had wholly abandoned said land for more than six months last past: that he failed and neglected to build a house on said tract, or to make settle ment upon or reside upon or cultivate said land, that same land is in desert condition and has been since entry was made and his absence from the land was not due to service in the army. navy or marine corps of the U..

touts, and race track followers. who depend upon betting for their liveli- hood, at least S2 are taken away from the permanent population of this city. To say that the races cost Washington five thousand dollars per day, net, for each day of both the spring and fall meetings. is very low estimate. Probably ten thousand dollars day would be nearer correct. On the open ing day there were more than sixty boOkmakers. Most of these came from out of the city and had with them a clerk and cashier at $10 a day each. If each boolImaker won only ten dol lars to each race on the opening day they got away with a total of three thousand dollars of the publics money. The greatest evil in connection with betting at Benning is not the loss of the money involved but the disrespect into which the law has fallen. The absurdity of a law which fOrbids bet ting on the races within a mile of the city limits of Washington. but which permits it in parts of the district out side of the mile limit. and which for bids the bOokmaker to stand still and take bets. but which permits him to shift from one foot to the other and do business. cannot be defended by even the most enthusiastic race track gam
 bier. As far as the crowd which the races attract to Washington the town would be vastly better off without it. In the main il is composed of loud mouthed, loudly dressed gentry whose ,.I IT, ed with profanity, together with a number of women of whom the less said the better. That there are dis tinctly reputable men and women in- terested in racing no one will deny but it is manifest to the most unso- phisticated observer that they are largely in the minority. The sooner congress puts an end to race track gambling in the district the better off all parties concerned.
 Not long since it looked as though some legislation might be expected looking toward the regulation or pro- hibition of speculation in stocks and particularly in grain and cotton. The president has spoken out strongly in favor of some such action but it now lOohS dS lutuSH COllSFtSS VIII uO llOIn- ing in this direction at the present session. The stock exchanges through out the country have been very busy procuring the publication of articles tending to show that speculation is both wholesome and necessary. and defending such operations. Stock gambling is now about the only gen. erally recognized. legaliZed form of gambling and it is likely to be long time before the people abandon it.
 The movement for prohibition in the District of Columbia seems to have fallen into inOcuous deseutude. Early in the session the brewers and liquor interests were greatly exercised over the possibility of the passage of a pro- hibitOry law, but their fears have been allayed. It is safe 10 say that while prohibitory law would undoubtedly pass congress were it once before that body. 1t does not now seem possible that a vote will be taken on a pro- hibitOry law at this session.

AND WE THOUGHT WE HAD A
 NAVY.

Our battleships are out of date" Says MT. Henry Reuterdahl; "Our gunners never could shoot
 straight;
 We might as we'll have none at all Their armor is too light and low, Their turrets death-traps only; Some day they'll all to fragments blow And leave us sad and lonely" And should they ever chance to meet Some reai ships in battle, Why Henry says our poor old fleet Would run like frightened cattle. But say. Hen, what strange cause took
 hence
 That erstwhile Spanish nation? Was it the hand of Providence, Or was it gravitation? o Henry, go and soak your head. And then go buy book Entitled "U. S. History" And OCT it's glorious pages look. But even Henry Reuterdahl Would be entirely satisfied, And others just as critical, With milk and cream from the Val
 ley Pride.

A NOTE OF WARNING
 AGAINST MONEY WASTE
(Continued from Page 1.)

United States, excepting Switzerland. MT. Aldrich suggested that this coun try was better protected naturally than any other.
 Did not the secretary of war asked Mir. Gallinger. in a recent speech fa vor a large increase in the army?"
 Mir. Warren said he did not know of such a speech, but he hoped "the coun- try would grow fast enough and rich enough to feel like having an army as large as was suggested"
 Mir. Hale left the chamber and Sen ator Frye. his colleague. in his behalf moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. MT. Burkett of Nebraska criticised the action as 'an unwarrant ed method" of criticising a man now attracting the attention of this coun try. He charged the Maine senator with exercising bad faith in presenting a motion to reconsider which was, he said, shown by the motion of his col league to withdraw it. Mir. Frye de- tended his colleague against the charge of bad faith but refused to recede and the motion to lay on the table carried.

SMALL SIzEDAUTOSTRIkE'
Several Afachinists in Smith Company
Are Out.

There was a miniature strike at the
Smith automobile factory last evening
and dozen machinists are not work
ing today.
The trouble was precipitated by the
discharge of a machinist named Olson
who had refused to do some work as
signed to him.
DR.. Anton Smith, president of the
company, said today: ours is not a
union shop and never has been. The
mechanical superintendent discharged
man for refusing to show another
workman how to do some task. About
a dozen of the machinists attempted to
tell US how to run our business and we
declined to accept their suggestions.
We are running as usual today and
will continue to do so. There are about
a dozen men out. The man who does
his duty in our factory will have no
trouble"
Machinists Side.
THE trouble at the Smith automobile
factory is not a strike on the part of
the machinists,'' said W. l.. Stark,
local president of the International As
ISOLATION of Machinists. Eighteen Of
the twenty-one machinists were dis
charged by Superintendent of Machin-
cry Palmer when they attempted to in
tercede with him concerning the dis
charge Of Albert Olson, an old resident
Of Topeka.
"Olson is known as one of the best
machinists in the city and was dis
charged because he refused to instruct
an incompetent man in the work of the
machine shop. For some time past 1t
has been the policy of the management
of the factory to displace high SAL
aried machinists with incompetent
men. This meant that in time all Of
the machinists would be displaced by
handymen If the company persisted IN
this kind of work and the action OF
Mr.. Olson was taken. to put a stop to
it, when incompetent men were placed
in the shops.
Three men are left at the factory
and they are foremen of various de-
partments and were not affected by
the grievances Of the men who were
discharged. ]. d. Buckalew, third vice
president of the National Association
of the International Association Of Ma
chinists, went to the factory with a
committee of the discharged men this
morning and was met at the door by
Mr.. Palmer and refused admission. His
purpose in calling at the factory with
the men was to attempt to effect re-
Cancellation but he was refused an au-
dience by Mr.. Palmer as representa-
tive of the owners of the factory"

and Tampico.
The scene of the fire is about rs
miles southeast of Tampico, near the
San Geronimo river. 1t is remote
from any railroad. An oil field was
being developed at that place by the
Pennsylvania Oil company, which is
composed of Pittsburg men. The
company had bored a number of wells
and all of them were flowing oil in
large quantities. The product was be-
ing placed in earthen storage tanks
preparatory to shipping.
A careless workman accidentally set
fire to one of the wells and the flames
were communicated to the under
ground reservoir of oil. A terrific ex-
plosion occurred which uplifted the
earth's surface throughout the whole
field The explosion was heard rs
miles distant. The oil company lost
100000 worth of machinery and the
oil which has been burned will total
millions of barrels. The whole oil
field will be destroyed.

TAX BOARD APPEALS.
Several in the List Are From Shaw
nee County.

The state tax commission is kept
busy at this time listening to the
complaints on assessments from
many people in all sections of the
state appealed from the county
boards of equalization. Among those
who have appealed from Topeka are
the following:
J. M Connell, properly assessed at
$4,000; wants it reduced to $3.50.
Hotel Throop, assessed at $4,000;
wants it reduced to $4,000.
D. c. Romine, properly assessed at
s4,1OO: wants it reduced to $4,000.
Illinois Life Insurance Co., prop
erty assessed at s632,SS0; make the
plea that as the headquarters of the
company are located outside the state
it's property should not DE assessed in
Kansas.
sessed at $14,600; wants it reduced
Continental Creamery Co., property
assessed at $169,648 wants it reduced
at s6S,O67.
Among the cases recently argued
before the commission was one last
evening from Coffeyville in which

ney and capitalist of that city, ap-
peared to protest the assessment of
$4,000 placed on his residence prop

SCISSOR. Mr.. PERKINS MADE spirited
appeal to the commission, claiming
that his property hac oeen assessed
at only $4,000 the year before. and
was not worth $4,000. Mr.. Ragle
was also present, and stated to the
commission that Mr.. Perkins house
and lots were on the best residence
site in the city and well worth $780,
600. Mr.. Perkins interrupted the as
SCISSOR several times and finally the
debate became acrimonious in the ex-
IRENE. Before the commissioners
had called time on the disputants Mr..
Ragle had made the statement that
Mr. Perkins had been in the habit in
the past of making false returns on
his property assessments. one year
paying on only 5000 personal prop

sum. Mr.. Ragle had a statement
signed by q half dozen prominent
