Press GaIlery for Taft.


This Washington press gallery is
a peculiar institution 1t is compos-
ed of men who represent newspapers
from the salmon-canning corner of
the country to the old stamping
ground of Ponce de Leon; from the
State where they build big lumber
vessels and go religlously every year
to alumni dinners at old Bowdoin
diagonally down to almost within
earshot of the naval target practice
in Magdalena Bay.
In the latest issue of the Congress
sional directory are the names of
about IT'S men who are entitled to
enter the sacred confines of the press
galleries at the capitol. This quail
flying clause means that every one of
these chaps is digging out news and
wiring it at press rates to his paper.
Not one of them has the slightest in
terest in any legislation that possibly
could come before the Congress of
the United States. A correspondent
may have some very decided opln-
ions on the subject OF public poll
cies; he may air them freely in the
little conversation that occur night
ly in the one or two gathering places
OF the craft, but that is the limit of
his activities in this direction. Not
the slightest suspicion of lobbying
can be direced towards any man who
has the privilege of passing the doors
of the press galleries of the Senate
and House. If the charge that a
newspaper correspondent were self
ishly interested in any legislation
before Congress could be sustained,
that man would be shown the exit
from the galleries In very short
order.
This explanation is made to show
you the sort of fellows they are who
send out yards of stories" every
night undera Washington date line.
They know they are absolutely free
from any faint of suspicion, and, for
the most part, they tell their papers
just what they think of the situa-
ton. OF course, not every Wash
ington correspondent is permitted to
keep wholly free hand. Some are
shackled by definite instructions
from the proprietors and editors of
their sheets. Even with this handi-
cap, these men do nothing more
venal than give prominence to news
that will support any editorial policy
of their papers and treat disappoint-
ing incidents as matters of consider
ably less Importance
If the press gallery could be sway
ed by personal liking, its choice
would have been Secretary Taft
from the start. As big of heart and
of brain as he is big of body. he
makes every man who meets him his
friend. The press gallery says he
is great" 1t looks upon him as a
lovable man and courteous gentle
man. 1t likes him and it likes him
a whole lot.

Unusually Low Tide in Potomac.

The heavy northwest wind of last
Thursday night and yesterday caused the
lowest tides that have occurred in the
river for long time. Yesterday after
noon, two hours before the time for low
water all the shoals along the Potomac
in the vicinity of this city were bare, and
the water was confined to the channel
between this city and Alexandria. Every
dock in the harbor was made SO shoal
that in most instances the vessels lying
In them were on the bottom. The big
monitor Puritan. the large training ship
of the Naval Battalion, was ashore the
greater part of her length. and her water
line was foot above the mark at her
bow. The docks IN many places were
bare, and boys took advantage of the
fact to go hunting for what they could
find.
The low water interfered with the
schedule of the ferry steamer between
this city and Alexandria, and the haul
ing OF teams had to be abandoned the
greater part of the day. as 1t was i'm
possible to get them on and Oft the
steamer. The tide this morning was
again low, but as soon as the wind died
out it. began to return to its regular level.
1t is estimated that the water last even
ing was five feet below its usual low
water level.
