The boy or girl with any
defect of vision is greatly
handicapped in the pursuit
of knowledge in the school
room. If your boy or girl
does not show a high per-
centage of average in the
school reports the probable
tiles are that there is some
thing the matter with the
eyes. To find out costs but
a trif1e if you will bring
them to us for examination :.
It doesn't pay to guess
about the eyesight of your
child-it is better to be sure
that the eyes are right. If
glasses are needed we are
prepared to furnish the ex-
act thing that will meet the
needs of the case. If not

A CHANGE OF TUNE.

The aftermath Of the election con-
tinues TO be noteworthy because of its
startling changes nr notifications of

Take tbs chief Jeffersonian figure in

spectacle is better than any transfer
mation scene in the theater
But few months since and this
fire. eating son of Missouri was on bis
feet in the house offering resolution
for a committee on committees This
was in full accord with the Democratic
position for radical revision of the
rules.
Today the minority leader refuses
to commit himself on the question of
further shearing the speakers power.
He says this problem will be left to
the party caucus and adds Person

committee on committees.
Then again: all during the cam
paign Mr.. Clark has been whooping-
'er-up for a tariff for revenue only.
No tariff commission for him, because
a tariff commission implied protection.
A democratic revision, according to
the minority leader, would be simon
pure revenue measure and it would be
revision downward
That was promising something
specific. But what is Mr.. CLARK
promising since the election
He promises that the Democrats are
going to revise the tariff wisely y
nc more and no less. Now wisely
is a nice word, a comforting word, but
unfortunately it may mean just about
anything in the way of tariff making.
Senator Aldrich would call tbs
Payne law wise revision, Senator
German undoubtedly called the Will
son law a wise revision. Wisdom il
tariff making depends altogether upor

UNFAIR CRITICISM.

This man Plnchot, former chief
forester of the United States, whom
President Taft was obliged to remove
from office for characterization and
for his offensive and d;ctatorial at
titude toward his superior officers in
the interior department has ever since
that event been placed upon a
pedestal as prodigy Of virtue and
honesty by the haters of Mr.. Taft.
and t. rough him to cast suspicion
and aspersions upon the president and
secretary Ballinger The purpose is,
of course. to create unfair prejudice
against the administration. Last week
Pinchot broke loose again and direct
ed letter to President Taft, in
which he expressed the fear that
the Interior Department, through
Secretary Ballinger, would recon-
mend the patenting of the much dis
cussed Cunningham Alaskan coal land
claims, which he believes to be
fraudulent, and appealed to the presi
any such action is given executive ap-
proval.
Our local contemporary, TIE
Teller, expressed much satisfaction
over this latest move of Mr.. Pinchot,
and stated the belief that the secre-
tary would recommend to the presi-
dent that patents Oh these claims be
issued
Every we'll informed man had op-
portunity to know at that time that
such was not the case. Advance por
tions of Secretary Ballinger's annual
report had been printed in the AS
socIated Press dispatches, by which it
was shown that the Secretary had
already recommended that congress
place these cases under the jurisdic-
tion OF the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia for settlement,
without any previous ruling or re-
communication from the Interior De
partment as to their validity This
would relieve the department of the
unpleasant necessity of committing
itself in a case toward which the
public mind is much prejudiced and
make possible a decision which cannot
be questioned
at the time when Mr. Pinchot was
giving vent to his suspicious, Mr.
Ballinger's request was already in
print, and more than that, for some
months past the Cunningham cases
have been under the special direction
OF the president with view that no
action sIould be taken on them with
out his personal sanction
The foufther fact that President
I8fa was in Panama on a trip of in
specti0n Of the canal at the time Mr.
Pinchot directed his appeal to him
leaves no room to doubt that the move
was made purely for political effect
and to give the Presidents enemies
another excuse for unfair filings at
him.

WHITMAN DINERS OFFENDED
Several Leave Room as Speaker
Quotes from Poet.

The broad sense OF inforInality which pre-
vailed at the dinner of the seventeenth an
nuaI convention Of the Walt Whitman Fel-
lowship at the Hotel Brevoort last night
was so shocked by the remarks of Andre
rridon, one Of the speakers. who quoted
freely from Whitman's poems, that, after
an Intellectual protest, several persons left
the room. AT least that was the feeling Of
Mr.. Street, of Street & Smith, the publish
ers, who arose to interrupt Mr.. Tridon s
speech and say that it was offensive TO him
and several of the women present The in
Eruption caused a stir among the diners,
several of whom called for the speaker to
continue, which he was finally allowed to
do. Mr.. Street and his friends then with
drew.
Prior TO the incident the speaker had been
talking in humorous vein and compared the
theories OF former President Roosevelt on
race suicide to Walt Whitman's ideas on
free love. He was quoting from the poem'
"A Woman Waits for Me-" when he was
interrupted.
Charles Zeublin. Bolton Hall, William
Davenport and other speakers eulogtzed
Whitman for his exemplification of truth
and democracy and contrasted the poet S
theories with those Of universal love, the
single tax and socialism. Mr.. Zeublin re-
ferred TO Whitman as both a prophet and
saint in his way. who had brought mes
sage of freedom and brotherhood TO the
people which would prove to be their social
salvation If they followed his teachings
About one hundred of the poets admirers
attended the informal dinner, which fol-
lowed an afternoon session of the conven-
ton. at which ]. G. Phelps Stokes, jr.. the
East Side settlement worker. Horace Trou-
bel and others spoke. and a number Of
Whitman's poems were read.
