The new court to which [ have reference IS
called United States Court Of Customs APP
peals-name enough to get you going 1t
nothing else.
So far this court has decided FIVE cases.
One decision tells the difference between a
sweet potato and yam.
Another decides that a cabbage packed in
salt is preserved vegetable
Another decides that dried duck flesh salt
ed, preserved in peanut oil and canned is not
dressed poultry, and here the court reporter
gives up the ghost and doesn't tell us what
the other two were.
''STUNG AGAIN. is a common saving, and so
we are.
We are not to lose Philander G.. Knox as
Secretary Of State simply because the big
bosses in Pennsylvania thought Philander G.
would make a trusty servant to look after the
affairs of that State.
All of the rumors about dissension in the
Taft Cabinet were FALSE and Philander c.,
Wickersham, Ballinger and Taft still are as
thick as when they first got their jobs.
Mr.. Taft says Pennsylvania shall not have
his right-hand man and chief adviser for
Governor, and Wall Street smiles.
Since Philander was made Secretary Of
state ne mas Deen puSh1ng the dollar dlplOm-
acy for all that it was worth, that is MAX
ing our diplomatic agents act as agents for
j. P. Morgan & Co., the Steel Trust and
few other special interests
Mr.. Knox has been a successful worker in
this line and he has his agents doing good
work for the Wall Street crowd, so Wall
Street naturally wants him to keep the job.
And as Honduras is to borrow $40,O00O0O
pretty soon, Wall Street is especially anxious
to have Philander hold on a while longer
Philander finally made China come across
with some of that big loan which the big
Wall Street bankers wanted, so naturally
Philander is the man picked to make Hon
duras come across in the same way.
Yes, Mr. Knox is the most diplomatic Sec
rotary of State we have ever had, when it
comes to turning the State Department over
entirely to Wall Street.
By the time Knox quits working for the
Wall Street bankers; by the time Wicker
sham gives the Sugar Trust all of the valu-
able sugar lands in the Philippines; by the
time Ballinger allows the Morgan Guggen-
helm crowd to gobble up all of the valuable
mineral and timber lands in Alaska,-then
maybe the people will wake up and demand
that something be done.

THE .JEFFERSONIAN
EDITORIAL NOTES
By j., ID. WATSON

ended than did President Iaft.
While he succeeded in getting through both
the railroad rate bill, and the postal savings
bank bill, the last few weeks have been rather
trying ones on the Hon. William III.
To begin with, at the last he and the AL
drich gang had to accept railroad rate bill
which was very different from that which the
railroads dictated and his Attorney General,
Wickersham, drew While it is not a good
measure, it doesn't give the railroads what
ever they are mind to take as did the Wicker
sham bill
But on the postals savings bank bill was
where the President was really made to sweat.
Here he ran up against hard work sure
enough. He not only had to puff and blow
like an overloaded locomotive, but he had to
give up one of those pleasure trips which he
is SO fond of taking, and stay in Washington,
and work.
This must have been very hard for Mr..
Taft to bear, as the taxpayers pay for those
jaunts Of his, just as he must have felt very
much chagrined at the postals savings bank
bill that he signed and made law.
For the postals savings bank bill that was
finally adopted was the House bill and not
the Senate bill. The House bill was much
nearer what we need than was the Senate
bill, and the Senate bill was much nearer
what the big bankers wanted
So after all of the blow and gusto of Mr.
Taft about his administration having accom-
plished what he set out to accomplish, he
hasn't accomplished so much as he would
make the public believe.
The truth of the matter is that the In
surgent Republicans, aided by the Democrats,
are the ones who have accomplished some
thing.
They prevented Congress passing a law
that would have put the entire country at the
mercy of the railroads, and they forced Con-
gress to accept the House postals savings saw
ings bank bill instead of the one which was
what the Wall Street set of robbers wanted
passed.
So after all the smile which Mr.. Taft shows
to the newspaper photographers must have
rather pale tinge about the gills.
Anyway the sweating process which the In
him more in sympathy with the man who has
to earn his living by the sweat Of his brow.
ANOTHER instance of how reckless Congress
is with the peoples money is shown in the
case Of United States Supreme Court Justice
Moody
A little more than three years ago Mr..
Moody was appointed to the Supreme Court
bench; during most of that time he has been
unable to serve on account of i'll health.
Some of the most important cases ever be-
fore the court have come up during this time,
cases that affect the whole country, such as
the Tobacco Trust case, the Standard Oil case
and others, but Mr.. Moody has been unable to
sit on any of them.
Many times the work of the court has been
entirely stopped on account of his illness, but
still he held his position, drawing good sal
airy.

TO TRACE TYPHOID CAUSE

In order to trace. II possible, the cause
of the outbreak OF typhoid fever among
the engineer troops at Washington bar
racks. medical officers of the army will be
sent to Gettysburg, Pa, where the SOL
diers were in camp last August. to make
a thorough examination and analysis OF
all waters that were used there.
Commanding officers of other regular
and state forces who were at Gettysburg
also will be called on to report whether
any typhoid developed In their commands,
and whether II can be traced to Gettys-
burg.
Maryland Soldiers Ill.
Already the War Department has been
notified that cases of typhoid fever broke
out among members Of Company A.
Maryland National Guard, which comes
from Pikesville. Nd, after the company
had left the camp. This company left the
Gettysburg camp July 0.
The engineer companies stationed at the
Washington barracks did not leave there
until July 81. 1t was eleven days later
before the first case Of fever developed at
the Washington barracks.
The officials at the War Department do
not believe there IL any connection be-
tween the Maryland cases and those at
the washington barracks. particularly as
the Marylanders were not camped near
the engineer companies.
Typhoid Caught on March.

had been no epidemic Of typhoid In the
