CGT DON'T ike your cash system

you seem 10 have little regard for
the rights Of these girls They have as
much right 10 expect yOu 10 protect
them from each other as you have To
expect them TO protect your interests in
handling the cash No human being can
handle cash all day without making q
mistake now and then I knew q mer-
chant who hired a girl cashier in a
busy store and at the end Of three
months she had not made an error Of
any sort and he let her 60 She was
too accurate for him. I believe he was
right Don't charge mistakes resulting

you are willing that they should keep

II saw an occurrence in a real estate
cfice recently where a man had made
large sums Of money and all through
his business career had had q cashier
who alone beside himself carried the key
10 the cash compartments OF the safe
At times there were several thousand
dollars in this compartment which came
into the office after business hours.
The two sons Of the proprietor grew
20 manhood and came into the Office as
junior partners OF the firm and one
day the father had an extra key 70

LAUGHING MONKEY MAKES
PEOPLE LAUGH

Professor Garner should not feel peev-
ed il he and his laughing chimpanzee
provoke a smile or two from an IN
credulous public Professor Garner
makes a most remarkable announce
ment when he says he holds converse
with monkeys, even though be admits
their vocabulary Is limited to twelve
or fourteen words, Of which he under
stands but nine Nobody could get
away with that without encountering
"a laugh, and when Professor Garner
adds the statement that one OF the
great accomplishments OF Susie, the
monk which ne brought back with him.
Is a hUmau-Eke sense of humor AMI
an ability 10 laugh a real laugh, ne
must expect more good-natured ridi-
cule than serious contemplation OF his
eighth wonder OF the world.
One OF Susie-s best stunts is to pick
out one color from another Professor
Garner puts a lump Of sugar in a
green compartment of a cylindrical
box, composed OF other compartments
OF different coIors- He spins the box
around and then turns It over 20 Susie,
who invariably turns 1t to The green
compartment and extracts the sugar.
This seems truly remarkable but, after
all, the animals acuteness may be
partially explained by the monkeys
known fondness for sweets end,
incidentally, BY Susie'5 sex, which
would naturally make her stronger on
color effects than OF some Of the more
trivial affairs pertaining TO her life
Professor Garner has spent SIX and
one-half years in the jungle, studying
monkeys It Is not surprising that
he takes them more seriously than the
rest Of US IF, however, he has really
discovered some definite evidences Of
monkey language, he'll ultimately
make the world take of It's hat 10 him.

NO EXCUSE FOR ADIRTYYARD
N WASHINGTON.

There's no excuse for the Washing
ton householder who permits his ward
10 get into an insanitary condition.
Livery time he pays his rent he buys
the service OF the contractor who Is
hired by the District to remove his
garbage, ashes, and miscellaneous de
BIS OF refuse. He Is entitled to the
service, Just as he Is entitled to a ride
on a street car every time he gets on
a car and pays his fare He has

Ia party to the reputation of Colonel
Roosevelt.
Whether Mr. Sherman was cognizant
Of and countenanccd this maneuver is
not definitely known Mr.. Taft's let
ter intimates strongly that the Vice
President did not deal fairly with him
and Colonel Roosevelt, but was, in fact,
largely to blame for the misunder-
standing that subsequently arose For
the moment, then, the issue OF politi-
cal significance Is not whether Mr..
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt have come
to the parting OF the ways, but wheth-
er Air- Taft and his Vice President are
not irrecorcilably estranged? 1t seems
plain that the ~old guard" in New
York triad 20 use the President to
their political advantage. Sherman
has always been one Of the old guard
leaders, and he Is the man that the old
guard made temporary chairman OF
the State convention when Roosevelt
was turned down. The extent to which
he participated in the intrigue Is the
next bit OF information needed by the
public TO enable it TO form a comDre-
hensive conclusion as to what has been
going on in New York and as TO what
those events Portend for the future,
not only OF the Empire State, but, in
so far as they affect national politics, in

TAFT CLEARS UP POLITICAL
ATMOSPHERE.

President Taft's letter to Lloyd G.
Griscom. has had a decidedly clarifying
effect on the political atmosphere II
viii set at rest much of the uncertain
conjecture concerning what has been
happening in New York State, Parucu-
larry as 1t concerns tn, relations be
tween Mr.. Taft and Colonel Roosevelt
At the same time, It opens up a new
political controversy, IN which the
central figure Is Vice President Sher-
man.
Admirers Of Colonel Roosevelt and
AIr- Taft VIII be pleased to learn from
the President himself that he had no
hand in the recent rebuff administer
ed the former President by the New
York State Republican committee.
The reports that AIr. Taft was a party
to the deal were never believed by
those who best knew Nh Taft's att
tude and who studied carefully the
slim evidence upon which the minors
were based. Nevertheless, 1t Is graft
flying to them to have official confir-
nation OF their opinions The bottom
having fallen out of these stories, it
naturally follows there could be no
break between the former President
and the President over the action Of
the New York State committee.
The question OF Colonel RoOsevelt's
attitude toward the Administration
and the still unanswered question of
Colonel Roosevelt's political intentions
are no nearer solution than they were
a month ago It Is stated that Colonel
Roosevelt viii outline his political
plans more definitely in the speeches
ne VIII make on his Western trip, but
until these addresses are delivered, we
viii know no more about his inten-
tious and desires than we know now
The most interesting angle OF the
New York situation today Is the posi-
ton in which Vice President Sherman
has been placed by the Taft letter.
The President states positively that
he requested AR Sherman and the or
ganization leaders in New York to
confer with Colonel Roosevelt as to
platform and candidates before the
meeting of the State committee. His
request was. ignored. Further than
that, the machine politicians, who con
trolled the State committee, permitted
1t to be believed that the President was

INFIRM OLD LADIES WILL
HAVE OUTING.
Ill

The infTm old ladies In the old
peoples homes of Washington will
have their automobile outing Thanks
TO the generosity OF the owners Of cars
IN the District OF Columbia. the sue
cess of the undertaking IS assured. For
a few days offers Of autos were slow
coming in. but last evening and this
morning they came more rapidly. II
they keep coming at the same ratio
there VIII be enough cars 10 % round
When The Times and the summer
outings committee Of the Associated
Charities undertook 10 get enough au-
tOmObiles 10 take the old Iadics for
2 ride they felt certain the cars would
be forthcoming They had every con
fdence that among the people of Wash
ingtou who enjoy the advantage of
having automobiles there would be
many willing TO lend their machines
for such a worthy object The results
thus lar Indicate that that confidence
was not misplaced \ few more cars
are needed, but there Is every. reason
10 believe they VIII be supplied.
The trip has been arranged for 3
O'Clock Thursday afternoon The cars
VIII be sent 10 the different homes.
and the old ladies VIII be taken for
= two-hour outing
Automobile owners who wish to give
themselves and the infrm women Of
the homes the pleasure Of ride are
requested to communicate with The
Times It should not be necessary to
smphasize a request of this character.

LATEST WORD ON TUBER-
CULIN TEST.

The latest word on the tuberculin
test for meat and dairy cattle Is the
preliminary report Of the information
al Commission on the Control OF BO-
vine Tuberculosis This commission
was appointed by the American Vet
Urinary Medical Association and 1t Is
composed Of some Of the foremost vet
erinarians IN the United states and
Canada, Of Representatives Of the meat
and dairy interests, and OF cattle rails
ers OF both countries. The commits
sion made an exhaustive Study of DO
vine tuberculosis at four meetings,
held at Buffalo, Detroit, Ottawa, and
Madison Wis In the advance sheets
Of its preliminary report appears this
significant statement:
The commission recOgniz. ug, after
test is the fundamental factor IN any
policy having for its object me con-
troll Of bovine tuberculosis. DECIDED
that a pTouounCcment 10 IhaI eflect
should properly occupy a foremost
place
The full report to the American
Veterinary Medical Association VIII be
made at the meeting Of that society IN
San Francisco this fall 1t VIII en-
body the most advanced thought on
the subject of bovine tuberculosis, and
viii have significant bearing on local
issues involving the use Of the tUbercu-
lin test in regulating milk supply Con
sidering the abilities, interests, and
character of the men who make up
the commission, the report should go
a long way toward establishing the
tuf5ercuIin test as an essential condi-
ton 10 the Issuance of licenses to sell
milk. Tt should also help remove from
the minds OF many dairymen the feel
ing of opposition TO the tuberculin
test that now exists.
Briefly. the commission has decided
that the tubercuIin test VIII show

dairvmen claim It viii not, and they
resist the requirement for the test on
