formally notified that Mr.. Murphy
had selected him as the candidate:
A pulp and paper mill and wall
paper mill operated by Mr.. Dix were
visible from the veranda OF the house
where the notification took place.
There seems to be an issue against
Mr.. Dix. It may be that he is not a
member of the Paper trust, so called,
but he makes wall paper, in or out
of trust. That, in itself, is a seri-
Gus offense.
Wall paper, as is generally known,
was invented for the purpose of giving
bad designers a chance to do their
worst, You may pay any price for
wall paper, but, whatever the price
you pay, it is too much. Moreover,
those who buy plain paper, without
designs, in order to get the better of
the bad designers, feel always that
they have wasted money by not re-
sorting to whitewash or paint instead
of paper in rolls.
Ere the campaign is over somebody
will attack Candidate Dix with sam
plies of his own wall paper. That is
bound to come. The Democracy can
forgive Candidate Dix for being
plutocrat. Indeed, it may try to con-
vince itself that he is a linesl de-
scendant of New York's famous war
governor, instead of mere nephew,
but Democratic women and Repubi
can women can never forgive a maker
of wall paper. They know by bitter
experience that no wall paper looks
one-half as we'll when it is hung as it
looks where it is bought.

Ancient NatiOnaliSm.

To Ce Ed4,or OF The washington Times:
AS s..:ne people seem 20 be dissatis-
fed " n the triune system OF govern
ment executive. legislative. and ju-
diciaP embodied in the Constitution
handed down 10 Us by our fOrefathers,
and are gathering around the new ma
tionaIism, invented by our worthy
former President. the writer has dug
up a few passages from Shakespeare.
that seem TO be applicable 70 the pro-
posed innovation
The new nationaHsm does not strike
an observer as being inspired by pa
triotic devotion TO country. but the
feyerish delirious incoherency Of the
lust of ambition and power.
1T is a tale 10 be told 20 an idiot,
full OF sound and fury, signifyfng
NOTHING Macbeth.
Cromwell, I charge thee, fling away
ambition:
BY that sin fell the angels; how can
man then.
The image Of his Maker, hope 20 win
by't?
Love myself last. -
King Henry VIII.
After gaining .Js first victory, the
subsequent stages Of new nationaIi5m
might be imagined by the following
line from Macbeth: And my more hav-
ing would be as a sauce to make me
hunger more"
The old guard might use the pessi-
uistic language Of Cassius. in Julius
Caesar" Slightly paraphrased):
why man, he doth bestride the mar
row world
Like a Colossus; and we putty men,
Walk under his huge legs, and peep
about
To find perhaps a custom house posi-
ton"
Let us conclude with the solloquy
OF Brutus, in Julius Caesar
" He would be crown'd
How that might change his nature,
there's the question.
It is the bright day that brings forth
the adder;
And that Graves wary walking. Crown
him?-THAT-
And then, I grant We put a sting in
him,
That at his will he may do danger with.
The abuse Of greatness is. when Il aus
joins
Remorse from power" ="

MUST CUT BAIT, FISH OR
QUIT THE BOAT.

Two of the gentlemen who appear
ed for the dairymen at the milk hear
ing before the District Commissioners
yesterday made a series of accusations
which they must speedily substantiate
with positive evidence if they expect
to retain a shred Of respect from the
public for any statements they may
make in the future.
They charged, first, that the infu-
snces behind the proposed regulation
of the Districts milk supply are, in
reality, a thirty million dollar trust
that is trying to gain control of the
raw milk business of the country, and.
second, that regulation is also being
promoted by interests which control
the manufacture of machinery for pas
teurizing milk.
The gentlemen went further. They
charged that the District Health Of
ticer, the Agricultural Department, and
certain Washington physicians, who
have advocated regulation of the city's
milk supply, are controlled by these
same concerns.
When Chairman Rudolph of the
Board of Commissioners properly press
ed the gentlemen for specific state
ments and for evidence in support of
their accusations, they evaded his
questions. They stood on the bare
statement that the alleged milk trust
and the manufacturers of pasteurizing
machinery are behind the regulation
of the milk supply OF Washington. One
of the gentlemen explained that the
fact that the Health Officer, officials
of the Agricultural Department, and
certain Washington physicians favor
the tuberculin test or pasteurization
is proof that they are interested in a
milk trust or a pasteurizing machinery
company. He said the presence OF
these influences could be "read between
+. the lines"
The representatives of the dairymen
no matter how just their cause, have nc
business to stand up at a public hear
ing and make any such charges unless
prepared to prove them. Vague gen
eralities are not proof; unless backed
up by fact they will arouse nothing
but contempt for those who utter
them.
The gentlemen who make the
charges must cut bait, fish, or get out
of the boat.

The powers of darkness shall be dashed

"Merrie" England shall revel in the
golden age of which the Sibyl told.
Mr.. Shaw has not entirely matured
his plan. In an address to the work
ingmen in Memorial Hall, Harrington
street, he casually mentioned $500 a
year as the tentative sum for every
inhabitant, beginning at birth, This
is only few ounces under $500 a
year. With that delicious nonchaI-
ance for which he is celebrated, he
said the amount was "iIumaterial,"
and so it is.
Of course, there will be rude people
to ask where the government is to get
the money, just as there were cynical
catechists who asked the Hindu re-
ligionists what supported the tortoise
who supported the elephant who sup
ported the world Mr.. Shaw wells him
self in his own inscrutablo originality
when he gets as far down as the
tortoise.
But if the seeker after truth should
ask him how he supports himself, he

MR.. SHAW'S RECIPE FOR THE
MILLENNIUM.

George Bernard Shaw is doing some
advance work for the millennium. On
the anvil which once sparkled with
his epigrams he is forging links with
which to bind the devil. Some one has
told him that there are people in Eng
land so poor that they cannot afford
to go to see his plays. As the last
word in destitution, it has touched his
heart.
Poverty not only breeds ignorance
even ignorance of the Shavian feast of
pungent paradOX-but it fosters crime;
so he is advocating a system of univer-
sal pensions. Then the three hooped

ONLY ONE ISSUE LEFT IN
MILK CONTROVERSY.

AS a result of the hearing before the
District Commissioners yesterday, the
Washington milk controversy has been
cleared of all but one issue. That is
sue is this:
How rapidly can the tuberculin test
requirement for herds that supply milk
for Washington be enforced?
The issue concerning the desirability
of forcing all producers to clear their
herds OF tuberculous stock has been
disposed Of
The issue concerning the danger to
the community in milk from tubercu-
lous herds has been disposed of.
The issue concerning the existence
or non-existence of tuberculosis in the
Virginia and Maryland herds that sup
ply the milk Of Washington has been
disposed of.
The issue concerning the existence or
non-existence of tubercle baeilli in the
market milk of Washington has teen
disposed of.
The issue concerning the reliability
of the tuberculin test as a means of
determining the existence of tubercu-
losis in cattle has been disposed of.
The testimony of the three experts
from the Department of Agriculture
and the one from the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service has estab-
lished beyond dispute that tuberculo-
sis exists to an alarming extent in
the herds of Virginia and Maryland;
that tubercle bacili exist to an alarm
ing extent in the Virginia and Mary
land milk brought in here; that the
tuberculin test is reliable and should
be demanded as a protection to the
public health.
The only question left unsettled is
that concerning the practical and just
method of establishing the tuberculin
test. This the Commissioners viii
have to decide after mature deIibera-
ton. The findings of the Chamber of
Commerce committee, which begins its
investigation this afternoon, should
help the Commissioners solve this prob
lem 1t will probably be found neces-
sary to put the test requirement into
operation gradually, in order to give
producers time to clean up their herds
This would obviate the possibility OF
milk famine and at the same time
would be so fair to the farmer that nc
reasonable criticism of the regulation
could be made.
At no time, however, should the
Commissioners or the Health Depart.
ment lose sight of the desired end
the final elimination of tuberculosis
from the herds that furnish the milk
that Washington consumes.
