No Defense for overbrook.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:

public statement, in which he charges
that the grand jury and the newspapers
have vilified the hospital committee Of
the Board of Freeholders, the former In
declaring in its presentment that DR..
Dill, the superintendent of Overbrook
asylum, is incompetent and should be
discharged and that there have been
immoralities at Overbrook, and the
newspapers because they printed state
ments of doctors and nurse about
conditions at the institution. He inti-
mates that the jurors retaliated on the
freeholders because the finance COM
mittee returned the sheriff's bills for
transporting the jurors to county in
stitutions on official visits. He asks the

have some unfortunate loved one, be II

condemn the hospital committee, be-

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Colonel Roosevelt has visited the
miners with view to studying the
conditions under which they live.
Colonel Roosevelt does a great many
things, but as yet he has done nothing
that has been of real benefit to the
class of people he finds working IN the
mines. He now has an excellent oppor-
tunity to do an everlasting service to
those who live in the dark"
Whatever Roosevelt writes is widely
, read; he gets more free advertising
than any other man in the United
States. Everybody who reads the news
papers knows that Roosevelt is in
vestigating mining conditions and that
he may write about them. Thousands
are waiting for his written opinion.

Does the Z. S. Treasury Need
Idle Gold?

Dear Sir:-If these questions are of interest to
the public, and you deem them worthy of your
notice, kindly answer them through your paper
or magazine:
(1) Is the $3.50, 100000 of idle gold in the
United States Treasury needed there?
CD In case of between this and any
other nation, could the United States not issue
and use paper money for payment of expenses of
war?
I take and read your papers, and would not
take twice the price for the information I get
from them "IGNORAMUS."
York, Alabama.
ANSWER.
(1) No: the $15O,OOO,0O0 of gold is not
needed there. The excuse for retiring that
immense sum from circulation is, that it is
redemption fund for the Greenbacks- $780,
100000
But the law provides that when a Green
back note is redeemed, at the Treasury, an
other shall be Immediately issued, in it's place.
Therefore, the ostensible reason given for the
Gold Reserve won't hold water. The money
is kept out of circulation because the Morgan
Money Trust breads it's competition.
(2) Yes.

P"oiCy' LII Juliet WORDS, watson believed
that he would make good, and published edi
torials virtually to that effect. His position
is now that Hardwiclk hasn't made good that
we cannot reasonably hope that he will do
any better in the future than he has done in
the past. 4 NEW BROOM rs JUST
ABOUT WHAT TIE TENTH DIS
T'RICT NEEDS
In this connection, the statement of one
other fact will emphasize the arrogant in
tolerance of Mr. Hardwick. It is. that H0he
Sm1lth, himself, had the good taste and qood
judgment to refrain from abuse of Watson.
In none Of his many speeches did he mention
Watsons name. And when, at Macon, some
one IN the audience sang out
"Wh0t about Watson9" he contented him
self by saying,
II don't h1a0a0 aohat about Watson".
But Hardwick the friend of Watson, the
beneficiary of the sentiment which Watsons
1abors had created in the Tenth District, the
Ieg0tee of the Watson political est0te-Hard-
wick knew "what about Watson.
With smeerlng 1lp and sco1mfuz eye and
cumming a0ord, HardaOich ims5muated into
every mind the suspicion, that SOME VERY
DARK AND DISCREDLTABLE MO-
TIVE must haze carried his constituent and
friend and recent host, into a battle q0here
PendIetom, LoyIess and HoaoeV fought on the
same sideI
Can't you see that Hardwick became en-
ragged because of his failure to influence Wat
son? That is the whole secret. He had boast
ed at the Capital City Club, in Atlanta, that
he controlled Watson Just as at Craw-
fordville he had said of the Populists:
"The damned fools have no leader, and
that he was going to use them; so the vain
little man had brought himself to believe
that he carried Watson in his vest pocket.
Whiskey-drinking and card-playing in the
Capital City Club, the half-gone Hardwick
would say to his companions
II control Wotson." And when he dis
covered his error, he became bitterly resent
full. That's all there is to it.
Three more years of whiskey- drinking,
card-playing, ETC., have not improved his
mind, his morals nor his manners; and the
District would do we'll to realize it.
By all the memories of the Past, and en- re-
maena6ro'oce of hoa0 aoe haze fought and suf-
fered together, [ call upon every friend of
mine to rebuke TIE UNGRATEFUL
SLANDERER, who now heaps odium upon

ing $24O,OOO,OOO has passed Congress, and
now goes to the President for his approval.
While the receipts of the Post-Ofice De
partment have increased more than six times
as much as they were in 1880, the population
has not more than doubled.
But even this big increase in receipts does
not pay the expenses of the POST Office De
partment by several millions. Every year
there is big deficit that has to be met.
But the big deficit could be easily turned
into big profit if Congress would only give
us Parcels Post.
some European countries enjoy Parcels
Post and 1t pays the government a handsome
profit besides being almost as great an ad-
vantage to the rural inhabitant as is the
r. T. D.
But there is where the express companies
come In, and they are better represented at
Washington than the people are
A Parcels Post means reduction in the
millions which the express companies rake in
each year, hence Congress passes no Parcels
Post measure.
1t is tiresome to read the big headlines
about the Steel Trusts setting aside S12,OOO,-
600 for pension system for the benefit of it's
employees.
1t is little like going dafy over John D.
giving back a few of his stolen millions.
The same papers which are devoting so
much space to the philanthropy of the Steel
Trust were very scant in their notice of the
result of an investigation of one of the Steel
Trusts plants, -the one at Bethlehem, Penn
sylvanla, where SO much of the high-priced
armor which we place on our battIeships is
made
That investigation showed that hundreds
Of the employees of the Bethlehem plant are
practically slaves.
They live IN stockades, where they are cut
off from communication with the outside
world, under the most horrible conditions.
They are forced to work twelve hours and
more for seven days IN the week, and many
OF them are paid twelve cents per hour for
their labor.
With robber tariff aiding the Steel Trust
to rob the people, no wonder the Trust grows
rich.
With the Government paying it millions
for shlpbulldlng contracts, and the Trust
working its employees to death at starvation
wages, no wonder it makes money.
Under such conditions is it any wonder
that the Steel Trust can issue $5OO.O0OOOO
worth of common stock, which cost the Trust
not dollar except the expense of printing
and issuing it, and then in few years paw a
good dividend on the S500,O0O,OOO after hav-
ing set aside millions to allow for wear and
tear of machinery, decrease in value of build
ings, etc.?
President Taft has sent special message
to Congress advising against a COMPRESSION
al investigation of the Sugar Trust frauds,
his reasons being that "the necessity for Con-
gressional investigation arises, first, when an
executive investigation is either not in good
faith or is lacking in vigor or when addi-
tional legislation is needed to prevent re-
