Vital Washington News.
By Clyde II Tsvenner.


Washington, August 8.-All over
the country Republican candidates
for congress are preparing to ask for
election or reelection on the record
of President Taft and the last con-
gress.
Aside from the tariff revision,
with which the public is already
familiar, the predominating features
of the platform on which the stand
patters will make their final desper-
ate stand are the postal bank bill and
the so-called railroad regulation bill.
The railroad bill as passed was bet
ter than existing law, improvements
having been forced by Democrats
and Insurgents. The original draft
was one Of the most vicious pieces of
legislation proposed in congress in
recent years. President Taft sent
this bill to congress with his person.
al Endorsement and asked that it be
posed without amendment.
II provided for commerce court
which would have destroyed the USE
fulness of the interstate commerce
commission, and made appeal to then
higher tribunals impossible.
/ It took the railroads from under
the antitrust law, and would have
permitted them to make what rates
they pleased without any effective
check.
It legalized existing mergers be-
tween existing lines; it contained a
joke provision to regulate the issuing
of railroad securities.
The Democrats and Insurgents
forced some improvements, but were
prevented by administration in
fluences from putting in provisions
which would have been Of real value
to the people, such as physical valua-
ton Of the roads as basis Of rate
regulation.
Such was the railroad bill that
/ would have become law had Presi-
dent TAFT had his way.

Sunken Steamer Located.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 8.--Believing
they have $500, 900 treasure in their
grasp, men employed by Detroit
syndicate are guarding night and day.
the wreck of the steamer Atlantic off
Longpoint in Lake Erie. The Atlantic
was sunken in collision in 1852 by the
steamer Ogdensburg and $50 lives
were lost.
The wreck was located recently.
II lies in 1853 feet of water, and the
extreme depth makes the use of a
specially made suit of armor neces-
sary. In the hold, it is believed, will
be found two safes, containing $400,-
600. The wreck Of the Atlantic was
found practically intact. No skele-
tons were found in the first examina-
ton.

was decided success. Owing to the
busy time on the farm the attendance
was not as large as it otherwise
would have been, but there was a
good crowd present and all enjoyed
the outing. Judge T. j. Smith, of
Butler, delivered good address in
the forenoon, and Judge Wallace, of
Kansas City, spoke in the afternoon.
Those who heard them were highly
pleased with their addresses. The
schools present sang and the Adrian
Band was on hand all day and made
things lively by playing a number of
their best selections.
The dinner spread at the noon hour
made every fellow glad he was there
with his appetite and the viands dis
appeared in an amazingly brief period
Of time.

Gray Fox Attacks Man.

Derry, Pa, Aug. 8.-John w. Aus
craw, who lives in the mountains a
few miles from here, was returning
to his home Thursday night when an
animal he thought was wild cat,
sprang from the bushes and closed
its jaws on his leg. He grabbed it
by the hind legs and dashed it to
death against a bowlder.
He then discovered he had killed a
female gray fox. The pelt measured
forty-two inches from tip of nose to
the tail.

As to Postal Banks.

Congress passed the kind of postal
savings bank bill that Mr.. Taft want
ed. The effect will be, it is thought
by those who have given study to the
act as passed, to drain local commun-
tiles of the money deposited in postal
savings banks. Had the Democrats
and Insurgents had their way, pos
tai bank bill such as was desired by
the people, would have been passed.
But through the influence of the ad-
ministration, Aldrich was able to
thwart the will of the people, and to
secure the passage of bill which
will give Wall Street the control of
the peoples money as never before.
The Tariff Commission.
Still another feature of the Taft
record is the tariff commission on
law, also a gold brick. 1t creates a
commission without powers, and
gives the special interests $3.50, 600 Of
the peoples money to carry on a
campaign against honest revision Of
the tariff on the basis of equalization
of the cost Of production at home and
abroad.
Pinchot Wise to Protection.
Ex-Forrester Clifford Pinchot has
ideas on other things besides conser-
walton. At a dinner given recently
he declared that the nation had lost
confidence in congress because il
represented special interests rather
than the people. Continuing, he
said:
"And of this there could be no bet
ter Illustration than the tariff. The
tariff, under policy Of protection, was
originally means to raise the rate Of
wages. It has been made tool to
increase the cost Of living.
''The cotton cloth schedule was in
creased in the face Of the uncontra-
dicted testimony Of the manufacture
ers themselves that it ought to re-
main unchanged.
The steel interests by trick Sc
cured an indefensible increase in the
tariff on structural steel.

Lloyd Says West VIII Put the
Democrats on Top.

Washington, Aug. S.-Congress-
man James T. Lloyd, chairman of 1.-THE
Democratic congressional campaign
committee, is optimistic over Demo-
cratic success. Mr.. Lloyd has re-
turned from trip through Missouri,
Kansas, Colorado, Utah, California
and New Mexico.
1.-THE Democrats will capture from
the Republicans three congressional
districts in California in the next
elections, he said, California viii
elect Democratic governor owing
to the rapid assertions in the Repub-
lican party, as there are in every con-
gressional district two Republican
candidates, standpatter and an in
surgent.
1.-THE Kansas convention which
will be held the latter part of this
month, will follow the lead of Iowa,
which so stingingly rebuked Presi-
dent Taft.
Insurgency is rampant through
out the Middle West.
Zone of the most encouraging
things to Democrats is that the feeling
between the two wings Of the Repub-
licans is so bitter that the regulars
would rather see Democrats elected
than to suffer defeat at the hands OF
the insurgents"

POlaire Buys Negro; Takes Hin
to Paris.

New York, Aug. S.-Mlle. Polaire
went back to Paris, taking with her a
colored boy, whom she says she
bought. Possibly Polaire has not
heard of the Fourteenth amendment.
Billed as the ugliest woman in the
world, Polaire attracted almost as
much attention on the New York
vaudeville stage as though she had
been called the most beautiful. Her
colored protege is in luck. He will
find the color-line very little drawn
in Paris.

A Frank Admission.
Representative Charles E. Little
field of Maine, now admits that the
plank in the last Republican National
Platform regarding iniunctons was
put there to placate the labor leaders
and with no intention of its being car
ried out. He carries his frankneSs
to an even greater extent and says
the plank is perfectly non-commit-
tai" and means nothing, being sim
ply a dishonest trick to lure the I'M
wary &orkingman and delude him
with the belief that the Republican
party was his friend. II the truth
was told, it would no doubt reveal
that the tariff revision plank was an
other dishonest plank, never intend
ed of fullfilment, and that the whole
platform was a tissue of falseh0od
and false pretense.
Secret Publicity.
The bill providing publicity for
campaign expenditures and contribu-
tons passed at the last session and
signed by President Taft is not what
the people have for years been de-
handing.
The House provided for publicity
BEFORE election, but the senate re-
fused to pass such measure and as
result of conference, publicity
will not be made until AFTER the
elections have taken place.
What's the use of publicity after an
election, when what has been done
cannot be undone?
Publicity before an election would
seem to be the only kind of publicity
worth anything; for then the voters
would be given timely notice as to
which party and candidates were of,
by and for the trusts, and which
were of, for and by the people.

dian Mutiny?" questioned
Harding, with a note of
anxiety on his part as the
thought of the helplessness
of his fellow countrywomen
in such an event rushed
upon his mind.
=" No, it's nothing of that
kind; but I'll tell you all
we know" she proceeded
to explain. Sometime ago
Colonel Mansel began to
take an interest in the
occult power of the Brah-
mans. In that way he came
in contact with a priest of
the temple here called
Krishna Bhatta. l have
seen the man only once;
but he is so like a snake
that you feel he might coil
himself around your very
life. He is $3.50 horribly
unctuous and subtle"
A shudder ran through
her frame at the mere rec
objection of the man.
Harding strove to reassure
her with a pressure of his
hand.
Well, what did Bhatta
do to the Colonel" he
asked.
In the first place,
Bhatta managed to gain a
great influence over him."
she replied. And then it
seems he used this influence
to make Colonel Mansel a
strong partizan of the Hin
dus against the Moham-
medans at the court of
the Maharaja. This has
brought Colonel Mansel
into discredit with the Vice
roy. Yesterday he received
a curt warning from the
pO1itica1 Secretary that

up sufficient smattering of the philosophy of yoga to
open fire with the Colonel at the first appropriate
opportunity.
It came after Mrs Mansel and her sister had retired
for the night leaving the two men to smoke on the
veranda. Reclining in their chairs, the dark

by intermittent flashes of rees, strange birds hoped

gave Harding the opening he sought by rearking that

That's interesting" Harding promptly took up the
subject. For long time I've had keen desire to get
in close touch with the folklore and mystic philosophy
of the Orient And by the way, it's curious that l
should recoect it just at this moment, but there

with apparent lack of design that beautiful in
its simplicity.
But, though Harding waited expectantly, Colonel
Manse refused the For several minutes the ends

Harding stirred slightly in his chair and spoke refec

anything approaching the supernatural; but he gave
one or two demonstrations that turned mind in the
opposite direction. became eager to learn more"
Again Harding paused, and under his breath ana

in little while short terse sentence escaped the
Colones lips.
Better not!
Harding started and became alert. "You said better

YES"

If it reported to Calcutta Colonel Manse would
probably lose his position. 1t must be mysterious in
fuence that draws him there though neither Marion
nor can obtain word from him about it. Can't you
do something to bel Up u.s. Bert?"
Graces appeal stirred Hardings of chivalry,

have been inferred from the lighter spirit she displayed

far as hospitality went he left nothing to be desired
and appeared take pleasure in showing his guest the

Maharaja; but he studiously omitted the temple. And

to brighten the spirits of the two women, and picked
