q ENATOR PHILANDER CHASE
~ KNOX, slated for secretary of
state, is one of the most delightful
men socially to be found anywhere.
Golf, automobiling and driving are his
outdoor recreations. Billiards and
reading furnish indoor amusement.
When Mr.. Knox came to Washing
ton as attorney general his reputation
as a corporation lawyer caused it to
be assumed that he was n Of the
gruff, brusque kind. Instead of a
grumpy curmudgeon, he was revealed
as a polite, dapper little man who Of

mental in obtaining for Mrs. Relyea
the position at the White House for
which a hundred social secretaries in
Washington have yearned. Mrs. Rel.
yea was appointed to the war depart
ment from Connecticut on July 8, 1907.
She is a woman of culture and has
a wide acquaintance among the social

widow of Albert Relyea, formerly a
chief Of a division ia the treasury de-

Never before In the social history
had the position of social secretary at
the White House been so important.
The privileges of the Office increased

petition for the honor of being the
father of the navy"
Some time ago it was proposed to
place these statues face to face on a
single site, but that was opposed by
the adherents of the heroes. Many
sites have been suggested, but up to
the present time there has been no
action looking to a settlement of the
question. The statue Of John Paul
Jones is now under way and a compe-
tition will soon be. entered upon to de-
eide who will be the favored sculptor
for the making of the statue of Barry.
Work is now in progress for a stat
lie of Gen. Grant to be erected west
of the capitol grounds, but this will
not be completed before two years.
Next spring statues Of John With
erspoon, a signer of the declaration Of
independence, and of Longfellow, the
poet, will be presented to the govern
ment by memorial associations, and
they will be erected in this city.
Other statues which have been pro.
vided for by congress and will be

Will Roosevelt Be Busy?

In the assertion that Mr.. Roosevelt
will be exceedingly busy for a few
weeks we find room for exception. The
cause of his unusual activity is given
as the arduous task Of preparing re-
ports for both the house and senate on
the se~cret-service resolutions and the
reply to the Foraker resolution.
If Mr.. Roosevelt were in the habit
of dealing with such harsh and hard
things as facts we might agree with
the story. The collection and colloca-
ton of actual information is neither
an agreeable nor an easy matter. 1t
requires patience, persistence and the
exertion of arduous effort.
But Mr.. Roosevelt as a supreme fact
hater will not be hampered by such
obtrusive and annoying features. He
will take his stenographer in hand and
out Of the depths of his fancy dictate
reports which will be marvels of
homiletics. What has omniscience to
do with mere facts?

MI WASHINGTON. - William Howard

The governor of every state in the

there will be present in Wash

years ago. He insists that Wash

USE OF HARRIMAN'S MONEY.
President Roosevelt Must Have Known
How 1t Was to Be Spent.

Four years ago in the last week Of
went to the White House at the in
vitatiOn of President Roosevelt to con-
fer about the political situation in New
York.
As a result of that conference Mr..
Hartman returned to this city and i'm
mediately raised $3.50, 900. which vas
turned over to the Republican national
committee for use in this state.
Mr.. Hartman, in a subsequent letter
to Sidney Webster, declared that as a
result of the fund he raised, lat least
$1,000 votes were turned in the city
of New York alone, making a differ
ence of 100, 900 votes il the general re-
suit"
This money in the last hours Of the
campaign could not have been used
for any legitimate purpose. Mr.. Harri-
man did not pretend that it was used
for a legitimate purpose. On the con
trary, he took pride in the fact that
$4,000 votes were changed, making a
difference Of 100, 900 votes in the re-
suit. In other words, Mr.. Hartman
boosted that his campaign fund pur-
chased for the Republican candidates
SO, 900 votes that otherwise would have
gone to the Democratic candidates.
Whether or not Mr.. Roosevelt had
the slightest intention Of respecting
the moral obligation" to Hartman
implied by this contribution of $780,
900. he could not have been ignorant
Of the purpose to which this money
would be put. "You and l are practical
men," said the president in one Of his
letters to Hartman. AS a practical
man and a practical politician Mr..
Roosevelt knew there was only one
use for $3.50, 900 at the end of a doubt

Knowing all this he not only encour-
aged Hartman to raise the money, but
led Hartman to believe that as a re-
ward he would be allowed to help

Taft and the Panama Canal.

Mr.. Taft, accompanied by engineers
and experts, is to visit Panama. Pre-
liminary statements are to the effect
that there is to be an administrative
upheaval and there may be serious
changes in the plans. If there are
abuses and errors they should, of coure
be corrected.
But the thoughtful citizen who reads
of the probable and possible defects
of various kinds will be privileged to
smile when he recalls the extremely
rosy reports Of progress that have
been officially promulgated since Col.
Goethals took charge of the work, says
the st. Louis Republic. The sugges-
ton that possibly things were not as
reported was met by official sneers
and threats of Ananiasing were held
over those whose skepticism led them
to take the reports as possibly too op-
timiStic.
A further announcement is that Mr..
Taft will assume the personal direc-
ton of the work after he has assumed
office. Mr.. Taft knows a great deal
about the canal and the canal zone.
Personal direction will involve hard
work on his part. Can it be that he
knows SO much about it that he is un-
willing to trust the work to another?

HIS PLEA NOT GOOD
SCHWAB'S APPEAL FOR STEEL
TARIFF UNREASONABLE.
Opposition to Revision Based Upon Fu-
ture Needs-Present Generation
Has the Greater Right to
Be Considered.

The views expressed by Charles M.
Schwab before the ways and means
committee are susceptible of no other
Interpretation than that the steel In
dustry, if not exactly an infant, is IN
a transitional state and until it settles
down to a firm basis the tariff should
remain as it is. This is contrary to
a former expression of Mr.. Schwabs
and directly opposed to the position OF
Andrew Carnegie.
Mr.. Schwab justifies the tariff by ex-
planning that the open-hearth process
of steel making is succeeding he bes'
semer process and that the German
electrical method will succeed all 9TH
ers in a few years. These changes ne
cessitate the introduction of new ma
chinery and the abandonment OF the
old at practically a dead loss. In other
words, professionalism protection
is essential not only to the fostering
Of an industry but to its continued
modernization, which is, of course, to
say that a tariff is always necessary
and always will be-.
The strange thing about these new
processes is that, while they produce
better steel, they increase the cost OF
the product. 1t will be a distinct de-
parture in tariff making if an attempt
is made to anticipate such future
needs. Tariffs, when honestly made.

never fail to discuss the changed in
dustrial conditions and assert apollo
getically that 1t vas a good law when
passed and fitted the conditions which
existed at that time.
AS for a revised tariff on steel, con-
gress need not concern itself about the
future. 1t is enough if it takes &C
count of the present. And the present
is the time when the steel trust has
perfected economies and reduced the
cost of its product SO hal it is almost
without a rival in the markets Of the
world where it sells steel at a much
lower price than at home. There is
such a margin between the foreign
and domestic prices of its products
that fear of the expense attendant on
the introduction of new methods Of
manufacture may be dismissed. The
present generation, which has contrib
uted heavily to the success OF the steel
interests, feels that it is time it had
some of the benefit OF the sacrifices it
has made.
