WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent

From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-Not-
withstanding what appeared to be
strained relations between the execu-
tive and legislative branches of the
government, the social situation is ap-
parently unrutfied and the receptions
at the White House were never better
attended or more brilliant than they
are in these closing days Of President
Roosevelt's administration. There may
be few here and there conspicuous to
themselves by their absence, but in the
great mass of black coated men and
directoire demi-gowned women it
would be difficult to distinguish any
decrease in the popularity of these
White House brushes. The judicial
reception was held Friday evening.
The members of the Supreme Court OF
the United States and their families
led the imposing possession of justices,
lawyers, ambassadors, foreign minis
tiers and favored residents of the Dis
trict which passed through the blue
room and paid their respects to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his wife, and the
ladies of the cabinet circle. / say paid
their respects, which means that they
went usually two and two until they
reached the ante-chamber of the blue
room, then they were required by the
attendant to separate into single file,
then passing hurriedly, each one grasp
cd the President by the hand as his
name was announced by Col. Brem-
we'll. On these occasions company
of distinguished men and women are
especially invited to the blue room du-
ring the reception. There they stand.

WHO HAS BEEN LIBELED.

Great labor is being performed by u.
S. officials to find way to indict the
New York World and indianapolis
News for libeling somebody. These
newspapers got hold of three worthless,
a Mr.. Robinson-''my brother-in-law,'
"a Mr.. Charles Taft, somebody else's
brother, and Mr.. VIM. Nelson Crom-
we'll, man without kindred, but all
great and good men, and alleged that
they had profited in the purchase OF
the Panama Canal. Now the way Is
wide open to the gentlemen to sue II
these are not facts. Their regulations
can be purified if they see fit through
the courts, and no complicated or veX-
atious questions of cOnstitutionalIty
can be raised. But for some reason
they do not care to air their actions
before the public. They are all men
of means and the trivial costs of law
suit would not be felt by any of them
Then they might practically join IN
one suit and all be vindicated at the
same time, at only one-third the cost
of an individual proceeding. We take
it they are all PRACTICAL men seeing
the company they keep.
Uncle Sam has not been libeled and
cannot be. He is not responsible per-
sonally for the wrongs and general
scoundrelism of his agents, employees
and officers. He pays money only as
they direct, or as they arrage FORTS dis
bursement. He has no eyes to see his
despoilers, nor ears to hear his tradu-
GERS, nor feelings to be wounded by the
tongue of the slanderer. But those
who got his money have eyes, and ears
and pockets. If then they are accused
of paying out money improperly, or If
others are accused of receiving it, they
may be lied on. 1t is, therefore, their
duty to proceed against their defamers
and not stick Uncle Sam in to fight
their battles or purge their regulations,
that is make him the cats paw to pull
their chestnuts from the fire. Next
time we may find the Republican par
ty indicting somebody for libeling it.

Tho Children Of the Great.

There is a tendency for children of
exceptional parents to regress toward
the average stock. Gallon terms this
tendency filial repression. This, the
London hospital points out, applies
equally to exceptional physical and
mental characters. Thus, though tall
stature may run In certain families,
yet there is always a tendency to re-
vert to the mean average size. SINH
larry the children Of a genius tend to
have somewhat less than their fathers
power, but more than the average Of
the race. According to Professor Pear
son, distinguished parents are just ten
times more likely to have distinguished
offspring that undistinguished parents.
Still, such cases as the Darwins, ia
Their and sons; the two Pitts, Philip and
Alexander the Great are exceptional.
Similarly also the children Of GRIM

father, though morally inferior to the

Last English King In a Battle.

Last English King In Battle.
The battle Of Dettingen, in Bavaria,
on the 10th 9th o. s. of June, 1743
between the British, Hanoverian and
Hessian troops $4,000 men), under
command Of George H., and the
French troops 10000 men), under
Marshal Noailles, which resulted in
the victory Of the allied troops, was
the last occasion on which an English
king fought on the battlefield. His
majesty continued the whole time in
the heat Of all the action, which was
said by. those who witnessed it to have
been as fierce conflict as had ever
been known.
On the morning of the battle the
king appeared in the same red coat
he had worn at Oudenarde, thirty-five
years before, taking his place at the
head Of the seven battalions of guards.
About noon he ordered general ad.
vance, and during the movements It
entailed he was very nearly taken by
the enemy, but was rescued by the
Twenty-second regiment, who, in re-
membrance, wore sprig of oak in
their caps upon the anniversary of the
battle for many years afterward.-Lon-

An ordinance has been passed by the
Cincinnati city council, to take effect
May 1, at two o'clock IN the morning,
whereby the hands OF the clocks shall
be turned forward one hour during the
time intervening between the first day
of May and the LIST of October, at the
end of this time to be turned back
again. The hours of work are to be the
same in number. This will bring the
evening meal at five O'Clock and will
allow the extra hour of daylight tor
recreation, etc.
The benefits to be derived according
to its advocates, are as follows:
Health ana physical welfare are pro-
NOTED if the activities OF life begin
early in the day, as nature intends.
Additional time during daylight is
gained for rest and recreation, the use
Of parks and play grounds during the
hot months increased, and all forms OF
recreation projected on larger lines.

FEEDING HE
HE Any HAULER.
BY HENRY DYTHMER

1t Is important to remember that
the amount of feed required by a
horse bears close relation to the
amount Of energy expended and work
performed. A work horse pulling a
light load rapidly will use up more en-
ergy than he will in pulling the same
load slowly and If fed the same in
both instances will lose weight when
driven rapidly.
There are several good reasons for
feeding oats. All authorities agree
that they are easily digested and con-
tain the necessary amount Of protein
to supply food for the muscles; that
even the hull has its value in furnish
ing sufficient amount of roughness to
aid in exciting the saliva and gastric
juice and thus aiding the digestion.
Many careful and experienced feeders
prefer corn as the principal grain and
oats only as change. There can be
no question as to the value of corn in
fattening a horse, and it is certainly
much cheaper feed than oats, but after
careful inquiry am firmly Of the
opinion that corn fed horses are more
susceptible to disease and, even though
they present pleasing appearance,
have not the muscular strength, the
endurance or the power to resist dis
eases of horses fed on oats.
Following are the methods of feed
ing used in some of the large stables
Of the country:

A DESPERATE SITUATION.

A DESPERATE SITUATION.
New York World: What follows is
taken from Washington dispatch to
the New York Tribune.
The senate leaders are somewhat
concerned over the criticism of certain
of the large newspapers whose opinions
they respect, but they admit that they
are confronted by 'Hobson's choice.
They must accept the income tax with
all the feathers of the corporation tax
to which objection IS made, and their
extension to the incomes of individuals
or else t1ey must adopt the tax on the
net earnings of corporations alone,
which is what the president recon-
mends Under these circumstances even
those who dislike tho corporation tax
regard 1t as the lesser evil A des-
perate situation Unless there IS a
corporation tax there must be an in
come tax; for unless there is some
form of special taxes congress would
have to scale down the protective
schedules to a point at which they
would permit sufficient revenue for the
support of the government.
But If there is a corporation tax,
that will offend thousands of prosper
Gus patriots who help on quld pro
quo basis. IF there is an income tax,
that will offend still greater number
of prospective patriots. II the
schedules are scaled down, all the pro.
tectlve industries which have been
pouring money into the republican
campaign chests for more than forty
years can begin action for breach OF
p0mlse and n0n-support.
1t is easy to understand why the
senate leaders are perplexed. Why
Can the consumer be decent and stop
making fuss about being robbed
Then it would not be necessary for a
republican congress to annoy Wall
street or the protected interests.
