WASHINGTON LETTER

The suddenness with which our ma
tional heroes are dropped must con.
vince our latest hero of wireless
fame that he is already among has
Binns.
The confident claims that the revi-
val Of business only awaited the re
sult Of the election do not seem to
have been verified. A great many
people are sitting tight until it is
proved that Mr.. Taft is equal to his
vicarious task of leading them to
prosperity.
A lovelorn man is advertising for
the sweetheart he lost forty years
ago. It's safe to wager he'll transfer
his ad to the found column if he sue
ceeds in locating her. Forty years
makes such a difference.
Cuba is free again and she is al
ready proving that her motto should be
liberty, inequality and free fight
for all.
Upton Sinclair says marriage is a
tragedy but for all his fame Mr.. Sin
clair never made an original discovery.
Washington is to have a National
laboratory for the study of crime. Per-
haps it will be able to assist Congress
in deciding if Mr.. Tillman's "disin-
genuousnegs" is criminal and all ap-
plicants for the Ananias club should
be first subjected to its tests.
La Revue Of Paris is conducting
symposium on the subject, Are women
less honest than men? AS most Of the
great men writing in it declare she is
the proof is obvious that she is not.
DR.. Wiley, to whom the Country is
more indebted than to any other man
for pure food, pure medicine and pure
whiskey remains at his post in spite
Of the opposition Of the Faculty with
its distinguished chemists. The Fac
uIty says that benzoate Of soda as
food preservative is not unwholesome
but now come the State Chemists and
the Pure Food Commissioners, to back
Dr.. Wiley. The sentiment for Pure
Food, untainted, undoctored and un-
preserved is growing stronger every
day. DR.. Wiley is looked upon as the
Champion Of the sincere and real stuff
for the table.
Mr.. Pinchot, whom the President
credits with being the originator and
promoter of natural Resources Conser-
walton has just returned from a. mis-
sion to Mexico and announces the
hearty cooperation Of President Diaz
IN continental effort to conserve the
forests, the waters and the mineral
resources Of North America. Local
conservation is only good as far as it
goes, but VIXEN the three great divi-
slons, Canada, the United States and
Mexico shall combine in their effort
to economic the great patrimonies of
nature in the richest of the five CONT
nents, the good that can be accomplish
ed viii without exaggeration be in
finite.
AS an indication of the condition Of
'he National finances, it may be OBJ
served that for the last month the re-
celpts coming into the Treasury were
little over 81, 500, 900 per day and
'he amount paid out from the treasury
was over 81, 600, 900 per day. The def
CIT at the beginning of business for
February 1st, for the current fsea.
year was nearly 80. 900, 900 Of dollarsl
Inns IS an illustration Of the way We
are making the money fly. An esti-
nation of the cost of the Around the
world Cruise Of our battleships is
ABOUT $4,000, 900. The ships will be
mere IN two weeks and it will cost
i've Or SIX millions Of dollars to re-
pair them.
