 The forecast in question was made by one of the most experienced fore casters of the Bureau and was con cured In by all of the forecasters who were conversant with the conditions, and the same forecast would be made today If similar conditions existed
 The forecasters of the United States Weather Bureau are the equals, If not the superiors. of any others in the world. and their predictions of frosts, cold waves floods. and marine storms, although subject to error in the propor- ton of about one to ten, are of such value to the industries of the nation that If one of the newspapers that now so freely crfticise because two unveri- fled forecasts for the District of Columbia have fallen on Inauguration day were to omit from Its pages the daily predictions of the weather it's them. and if the Department of Con- Bureau in any part of the United States the property interests would demand its restoration. This would not be the case if the hysterical abuse that is now being ind1lged in was justified.

get the news. Each important bureau malls them information about its do- ings. Each department has 8 press room where the correspondents are furnished with Q base of operations and facilities for handling the news they get during their rounds. The White House has a press room where all the local papers and each of the press associations station a representa- tive during the business day. and which Is headquarters for all the newspaper men when they look in at tho White House. The President often calls in the whole corps of correspon- dents and tells them of the things he has on his mind
 The officials of the government have long since maintained confidential the national capital. freely discussing with them even the things which can- not be printed.
 One of the best Illustrations of the relation that exists between them and the newspaper men happened when President Roosevelt decided to ap- point one of their number Hob" wynne. First Assistant Postmaster General. He was sent for by the President and informed of the de- cision. He was then asked how the appointment could be kept out of the newspapers until # was desired to make the announcement. Wynne in- stantly replied that the best way was to tell every newspaper man in Wash ington, coupled withl the information that the story was not to be released until a given date. His suggestion was acted upon. anI the secret was safe
 It does not take the Washington correspondent long to understand what Is going to happen. even if he is not told in so many words. When the rate bill was pending in the Senate the in- formation leaked out that Senator Aldrich was going to leave for Europe on a certain steamer That was all the correspondents had to be told. They knew at once that he had the situation on the rate bill in hand. anI that the real fight was over. although it might take month for the smoke of battle to clear away

It was not long before what seemed, at first. to be a tame affair. de- veloped into one of the most thrilling contests ever witnessed here, when the little girls had thoroughly canvassed their home territory.
 They sent appeals to business and social connections of their fathers and others throughout the State. and even in other States. many of whom "came across" handsomely. and when results were announced yesterday 1t was found that $430 had been realized.
 The names of the little girls who did this splendid work. together with the respective little candidates, and the sum secured by each, is as follows:
 Miss Hattie Davie. for Master Law renee Andrews. $100.S0: Miss Grace Pruett, for Master T. R. Parish.

 He must measure the utterance of general truths to the time. the ocea- sion and the audience. intelligence has a hard time with such a gauntlet
 Even truth and justice (components of inteliigence) are relative.

On Monday, March l. the Flower Growers assembled at the home of the president. Fourteen members were present to exchange ideas and plan to make their little world "the brighter for their being"
 Owing to the recent freeze and con- sequent loss of plants. there was a dearth of usual flowers. One member. however, came in with handful of daffodils and they lent a bit of their brightness to everyone present.
 After the minutes were read and ap- proved. the President called the at tention of the association to the press ing need of a membership committee After a thorough discussion of the sub- ject. 1t was decided to appoint a com mittee of five with Mrs. Winter as chairman.
 This committee will have in hand the work of revising the membership list of the association.

Bronchial Trouble.

Miss Harriet Johnson. 124 Lake St.. Albany. N. r.. writes:
 T had bronchial trouble for some months and nothing did pe any good until I took Peruna.' which I took for three months. felt in much better health in every way after I had used 1t six weeks.
 My throat had always been an an noyance to me, and each cold would aggravate the trouble, but since I took Peruna have not had bit of trouble with my bronchial tubes. and as this was many months ago, I feel that fl will not return"
 Catarrh Of Ears.
 Mrs. William Bowman, R. F. D. l, Coon Rapids. Iowa, writes: Some time ago I wrote you about my little boy. Clarence. five years of age He was troubled with his ears. They were very sensitive to the touch. and he was quite deaf at times. He seemed to be worse after catching cold. I was very much afraid he would lose his hearing entirely. He was getting more deaf every day.
 T wrote to you for advice, and you prescribed Peruna. I began giving 1t to him, and can now say that he is entirely cured. He is now well and hearty and can hear perfectly"
 Those who object to liquid medicines can now obtain Peruna Tablets, which represent the solid medicinal ingredi- ents of Peruna.

Agave plant for the capitol grounds. It had been planted.
 Then the cultivation of roses gave full scope for the interest and powers | of argument of the members. Was 1t | better to keep the soil loose about the troses or to mulch and not fork?
 Such varied experiences! One lady never touched the ground. but let It become hard and packed; her roses were better each year. Another kept the soil stirred-not too deep-and well mulched; her roses were grand to sec! And so on. But at last 1t was agreed that all roses were the better, in our fierce suns. for a good mulching to keep the moisture in. AS to fertilizer for roses; use no Kainit. The follow ing mixture is recommended for roses as we'll as the generality of flowers:

ROOSEVELT MOSTLY WIND

It becomes more and more evident
as time passes, that Roosevelt was q
four husher, pretense, pure and
simple; making noise to cover up
the racsality of bis friends. 1t now
appears, that in his opinion the sugar
trust was beyond suspicion and his
order was "hands off,, although the
trust had robbed the government of
millions uf dollars in revenue, which
has been paid as result of the action
of the department of justice since
Roosevelt stepped down and out. And
then, there was the steel trust which
in his opinion did nothing wrong when
it seized the Tennessee Goa & Iron
Co. to prevent competition. Taft is
certainly doing something for which
he should receive credit.

But with all the shifting of sched-

The question before the conference

The British suffragettes are bent

Almost any foreign power could

WHICH WILL YOU HAVE?

Justice Brewer of the United
States supreme court points out that
this country is spending the stupen
dous sum of 1865, 900, 900 annually for
war purposes. This IS one million
dollars per day for every day in the
year including Sundays. 1t represents
sitxy-fve per Gent of governmental
expenses. Some idea of what this
means can be gained by specializing
on what this sum of money would do
for the America people.
1t would build and furnish 200. OGO
homes superior in every way to those
occupied by ninety per cent Of the
inhabitants Of the United States at
this time.
1t would enable the government to
pay 5000 per year to every boy and
girl under sixteen years of age
employed in the sweat shops, cotton
mills AID mines of this country.
1t would build and equip a public
| library in each state in the union
surprising in beauty and design and
| magnificence, the congressional library
at Washington.
It would prnvIde university of
education for the children off the
working class and equip them meu-
tally for the BATH of life.
| This sum would provide home and
comfort for all men and women over
three score and ten.
1t would build hospitals for the
sick and infirm and provide highly
skilled physicians and attendants free
of all cost.
This sum spent annually for ten
years would stamp out the dread dis
ease of tuberculosis.
1t would build system of public
parks from ocean to ocean that would
make this old land really worth living
in.
Yuur imagination will readily con-
jure up many more directions in which
this sum would be proftably spent in
providing for the comfort, health, and
happiness of those whose labor create

IGNORED RULE AND PRECEDENT

IGNORED RULE AND PRECEDENT
Hon. John F. Buhges, editor of the
Reeseville Review, said in the last
weeks issue of his paper:
1T is to be regretted that Speaker
Bancroft did not place the name, of
Hon. O. z. Viebahn on the special
committee on education. Mr.. Viebahn
stands head and shoulders above any
man in either branch of the legisIa-
ture when it comes TO educational
matters. What pity that politics
should be used for such base ends. -
Mr.. Viebahn should have been, not
only member Of the committee, but
it's chairman, for it was largely
through his influence the committee
waa appointed, and his experience
would have been valuable in suggest
ing legislation in the interest OF the
schools In the state.
There is strong suspicion that it
was not so much politics as it was a
desire upon the part of few school
men to keep MIR. Viebahn off the
committee, for he has very decided
views in regard to changes in the
school laws, absolutely essential to the
success of the schools in the state and
has the stamina of his convictions in
all matters where the welfare of the
schools is involved. And then, the
discrimination of the speaker was
decidedly objectionable, when it is
considered that there were seventeen
democrats in the assembly and only
one appointed on a special committee.
The writer Is not democrat, but he
believes in fair play and simple justice
in dealing with questions of import
ance to the state and must condemn
spirit that is proscrlptive and which
Ignores men for political reasons.
