Washington, D. C.-At II o'clock Saturday night the gavels of Speaker Cannon and Vice President Sherman fell in the house and senate and con gress adjourned sine die. More than a billion dollars of the peoples mon ey. to be raised in large part by the Payne-Ald,fch tariff act, has been lie and otherwise.
 The session died in song in the house; in solemn silence in the senate chamber. There was waving of handkerchiefs, rustling of summer draperies. and mild applause from the feminine spectators for Uncle Joe Cannon.
 In the senate broad grins of relief spread over the faces of the senators and there was a mighty stretching of arms an as indication of relief from tension and strain.
 The session that died so quietly has been important, though stormy. Open ing with a promise of bitter eonten- tentions that would stifle legislative activity and smother legislation, il closed with a l.st of important legis- lative enactments to it's credit that has set new record for a single session of congress. President Taft won all along the line. His railroad bill, statehood bill campaign publicity bill, conservation bill and postal say ings bank bill have been enacted into law Besides these, he has approved a S52, 1000, GOO river and harbor i'm proyement bill and a good-s.zed pub lie buildings bill, but he registered a protest against the pork barrela bills which have been permitted to pass unnotieed for some years.
 The total cost of the Sixtieth con gress was about $2.0S0. .000, 900. and il is believed that the cost of the Sixty first congress will not be far short of this amount.
 The most spectacular feature of the session now closed was the Ballinger Pinchot investigation This was un- dertaken by a special committee of congress to inquire into relations of Secretary Ballinser with the sposal of valuable mineral and coal lands ill Alaska. as well as an investigation of his policy in dealing with oil, mineral, coal and water power sites on the public domain in the continental United States. Clifford Pnchot, for mer chief forester, attacked Secre- tary Ballinger as an enemy To Conser Ha nf I41linU Nuit h public lands has come to be known, and was separated from the govern ment service by President Taft s nee then, much bitterness has been eyi deneed by partisans of the secretary and Mr. Pinchot, and the hearings were characterized by sensational in cidentS that ecl.psed interest in the work of congress.
 Then came Representative Martin 5 charges of bad management in the Philippines. followed with sensa- ton in the dying hours of the sess on caused by Senator Cores announce meut that a bribe had been offered him in connection with the disposal of the lands of the five y.lized tribes of Indians ill Oklahoma.
 But the one act of congress that attracted the greatest interest throughout the country was the over throw of Speaker Cannon's power in the house on March 2, when new and larger committee on rules was named and the speaker was made in eligible to membership, curb ng to q large extent the power which he was often charged with using arbitrarily.

New Retirement Plan.

Editor The Washington Herald:
1 would like TO suggest new plan for
the retirement Of the superannuated gov
eminent clerk. which would require no
extra appropriation by Congress. and by
which all parties concerned would be
benefited.
Instead of the pension plan. let the
superannuated clerk be retired with pay
OF one-thlrd or one-fourth Of his salary.
and in his stead a new clerk employed,
who shall draw the remainder Of the
retired clerks salary. Suppose the SUI
perannuated clerk draws a salary Of SIS
a month He can retire on, say. SIS,
while new clerk can be employed al
$50 per month, who can perform the work
better, and viii be in line for promotion
To a higher salary. In this way no one
will be taxed unwillingly, Congress will
not need to pass an extra appropriation
for the purpose. and the government
service will be vastly improved
Besides being feasible. this plan has
no Objectionable features like those which
are now being considered. ADA NIXON.

The "Boys in Blue. "
Editor lie Washlngton HeraId:

bcltor Ine washington Herald,
And now comes the most ludicrous, IL
not lunatic, proposition of them all. to
harass and fret and uselessly worry the
old faithful government servant who was
so unfortunate as to have served in the
Union Army during the war of the re-
bellion. II is nothing more or less than
disguised movement on the part OF
certain sappers and miners OF the ad-
vance guard of retrenchment and re-
form in the public service. 70 nose out
the amount OF pension an old soldier, or
the widow of one, In the employ OF the
government is receiving, and then denote
them just sufficiently to cover the amount
Of such pension, and then go before the
country with a great howl of how much
has been saved by this scalping system
OF the boys who saved the very nation
that Is now about TO run the car OF
Juggernaut over them to squeeze out
their little quarterly stipend. received for
disabilities incurred in defense OF the
nation
In the face OF nearly a two-billion dol
lar appropriation by the Slxty-frst Con-
gress it does not hardly seem possible,
Mr. Editor. that the government is In
such straitened financial circumstances
as TO be compelled 10 resort 70 such
shady, desperate and unpopular means
10 recoup defects in its fiscal management
hut If the policy I have described Is
carried out 1t is quasi acknowledgment
of weakness bordering on bankruptcy,
and how this will look 10 the public
when compared TO this table let the fall
elections answer:
Raise in Congressmen's salaries. 81, 500, 900
For President to investigate his
Cabinets departments .......... 10000
Pinchot and Ballinger controversy 5000
Contemplated purchase and en-
largement of Capitol Grounds. s.6o0,Oo0
Extra months pay to Senate and
H. OF r. employees. ............. 10000
Theodore Roosevelt said to his Cabinet,
and in language that could not be mis-
understood: See herei In all your con-
templated reforms and demotions OF
clerks in your several departments, there
is one class that / want you to let alone
and that class is the old Union Soldier.
provided, of course, he is not a drunkard
or an imbecile.' And they were let alone
for seven long years!
In view of breakfast bacon being IS
cents a pound, butter 80 cents, and other
things In proportion. their salaries should
not be disturbed, because they still want
TO live like white men.
The government they saved from dis
solution is rich enough to let them burden
the earth little longer with their pres
ence without taking a single prop from
underneath them HENRY D. BROWNING.

School Head Praised.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Because OF his faithfulness to the
duties of his Office as president OF the
board of education, it is to be much re-
GREETED that Capt. James F. Oyster has
decided TO cease serving the people
along that line.
Respecting the schools OF this city,
James F. Oyster has endeared himself
in the hearts OF all with whom he has
come in contact, and he deserves 10 be
honored In life-n3t so much in death
for his very excellent services In shaping
the pathway for the future men and
women of our land and country Mr.
Oyster should not be allowed TO resign
the Office of president OF the board OF
education without stumbling over the
prayers and earnest wishes OF the teach
ers. parents, students, and all we'll
wishers for the future success OF our
public schools.
The name Capt. Oyster is well known,
from the little tots in the kindergarten
to the young lads and lasses In the high
schools OF this city. Everybody loves him
and appreciate his earnest work IN bring
ing about success for the public schools
OF Washington. And the great army OF
intelligent teachers In Washington owe
It 10 Capt. Oyster, and themselves alike.
to petition this good and faithful servant
to remain at his post and guide the helm
of the old ship of education a few years
longer. ]. C. CUNNINGHAM.

Abolition of War.

Editor The Washington Herald:
That the question of abolition OF war
Is the greatest one with which the whole
civilized world has 10 contend. is evil
denced by the fact that within the past
century not less than thirty millions of
human beings lost their lives in war,
while billions Of dollars worth of treas
ure has been destroyed by the same
cause.
Benjamin Franklin, the distinguished
American citizen and patriot. was more
than half right when he said that there
never was a good war and never a bad
peace. Gen. Sherman made no mistake
when he said WAR is he'll" and Cen.
Grant. in the midst of a great frauicidal
war, uttered the expression. Let US have
peace"
Since the American nation left the paths
OF self-defense for the paths of agrees
sion and conquest, II has wasted in wars
which IL has provoked and In preparation
for other wars a thousand million dol
lars, to say nothing of the millions OF
able-bodied men whose lives have been
sacrificed TO the god Of war; Hence il is
fitting that the United States should take
the lcdQ. as Wei as lie iIltidllNts III
the present great international peace
movement, the object of which is 10 de-
crease the area of war and increase the
area OF international law until war be-
comes obsolete and law predominates
throughout the world. When this is con-
summated, every cabinet in the world will
have a secretary Of peace instead Of a
secretary OF war.
In this connection II is worthy Of note
that Representative Bartholdt, OF Mis-
souri, is doing yeoman service in behalf
OF obtaining universal peace. Mr.. Barth-
oldt was the first man who ever stood up
in a national parliament and suggested
turning The Hague Conference into a
real international parliament, since which
time he has introduced IN Congress a bill
providing for the appointment Of COM
mission consisting of FIVE men who viii
be authorized to visit the chancelleTies OF
the world and perfect articles OF fedora
ton limited to the maintenance of peace.
Should the Bartholdt bill, which is now
pending in Congress. become a law. and
the world federation commission succeed
In having a powerful world constitution
established as a requisite for universal
peace, Mr. Bartholdt will not only have
earned his place In history for all time.
bat viii have accomplished more for the
upIift OF mankind than did all the great
military heroes whose deeds have been
magnifed and glorihed by history and
poetry. JOHN A. CROWLEY.

Moving Pictures.

Editor The Washington Herald
would like 10 say something along
the line OF ITO censor moving pictures.
as suggested in what Thilman Wheeler
had to say in The Herald.
have witnessed several pictures Of In
dian life and ways in which the actors
show how the wild Injun" swoops down
upon some sleeping settlers cabin. and

braves" just at the right time, and the
settlers are saved.
saw one the other night that I will
tell Of briefly. il showed where q hand
some "pale-faced'' girl had come 10 a
Western ranch TO visit her uncle; she
meets an Indian brave" and firts with
him. When she leaves he makes up his
mind TO go to Carlisle and get an edu-
cation so as 10 be worthy OF her. After
his graduation he calls on her aud she
jilts him. He leaves and VOWS that he
viii 60 home TO his squaw sweetheart
and return TO the blanket, and ends up
with this scene.
The facts that / wish 10 bring to you
are that these pictures are made by
'pale-faced" actors and not by Indians.
as you cannot get these Indians to act
like that; and, again, Indians do not
make love like as shown in these pictures
The government is spending millions OF
dollars 70 maintain schools all over the
country, like Carlisle, and such pictures
tend TO give the public the idea that In
dian education is waste OF time and
money. 1 believe the government ought
to censor such pictures.
The youth leaves these picture shows
with the belief that the Indians. outside
of Washington a little ways, are still
scalping the pale faces"

COLLEGE STATISTICS.
Harvard Turns Out Most Men Con-
spicuous In Arts and Sciences.

Harvard Turns Out Most Men Con-
spicuOus In Arts and Sciences.
The list OF distinguished men of letters
selected originally by the American So
cial Science Association contained lis
names. not counting those of artists or
musicians. OF this number twenty-seven
had no college training.
The colleges furnished the other sew
enty-three notables. or these thirty
four went TO Harvard. ten to Columbia.
six each to Yale and to Princeton. four
to Johns Hopkins, and the rest were
scattered among various institutions
A writer in The Independent produces
interesting statistics along this line He
says that of the thirty-one members Of
the literary group in the Academy OF
Arts and Letters, ten were educated at
Harvard, three each at Yale and Prince
ton, two at Columbia, one each at eight
other institutions, while five had no COL
lege education.
The same writer thinks these figures
show that the proportion OF graduates
attaining eminence in the arts and SCI
ence is roughly the same as the pro-
portion of graduates themselves turned
out by the different universities when
these men were being educated This
would indicate that men of exceptional
natural ability are pretty evenly dis
tributed throughout the undergraduate
student body of the United States, IN
spite OF the fact that certain families
noted for their number of eminent men
send their sons to Harvard. Yale. or
Princeton generation after generation,
and also that these have the extraneous
advantages of wealth and influence in
their careers
