THE negro has again been read out
OF the republican party. The Texas
state republican organization, having
increased in white membership 40 per
cent. in three years, announces 1t Is
now an organization for white men,
that it shall be denominated by white
men and only white men shall hold
office in the organization. 1t is claimed
that this casting off of the negro, who
has for years dominated the party in
Texas, will gain $4,000 white rcpubli-
cans who have held aloof because OF
the negro. The negroes are organizing
with a proposition to join with the
democrats, whom, they declare, will
always be in power in Texas and who
have the distribution Of the state Jobs
1t is hoped by leaders Of the party that
a great many independent voters IN
Texas will support the republicans now
that the negro has been cast adrlit.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING. AUG. 10
A no HAT" brigade fashioned alter

A mo HAT" brigade fashioned after
the one which is thriving in London,
las been formed in Vienna. The
hat, " says one Of the members, is a
superhuous article Of mans wearing
apparel. 1t depriyes the head OF
needed air and sunshine, retards the
growth and in many instances kills the
hair and is source Of inconvenience
and considerable expense. At no time
does the member of our league appre-
ciate his resolution to go bareheaded so
much as when he visits theatre or
opera. The crush hat has gone out OF
style, the cylinder takes up too much
room and it is never improved by stor-
age in a theatre wardrobe. No man
who once joins our ranks will desert
but, like taking passage, it requires a
little courage"

TELLS HOW FAST TRAINS co.

That its engineers may maintain a
uniform rate of speed and operate
their trains with the greatest possible
comfort to the travelling public, the
Baltimore & Ohio is installing speed
recorders in passenger engines used on
through trains. The dial OF these speed
recorders is placed in the engineers
side of the cab, in plain view of the
Inan who operates the throttle, and in
dicates to him the speed Of the train at
all times. The recorder also registers
on a paper chart the speed at which a
train is operated at every point on a
division, and, upon arrival at termi-
nails the chart is replaced and sent to
the division superintendent, who thus
has before him daily record Of the
speed at which trains are operated in
his territory.

TO CUT EXPENDITURES.

At the special meeting of the Cabi-
net which is to be held in Washington
on September 10 President Taft will
emphasize the need Of economy in the
administration OF the government.
The president will return to Beverly
from the conservation congress in St.
Paul by the way Of Washington, and
may spend three or four days at the
White House. All OF his Cabinet
officers, except Secretary Dickinson,
will be in Washington to meet him,
and the entire Cabinet will spend the
day in going over the estimates.
Mr. Taft is devoting special study to
ways and means for cutting down ex-
penses and putting the administration
OF the government on business basis.
Under a law enacted little more than
year ago, the duty is imposed on the
secretary of the treasury Of assembling
all the estimates Of the executive de-
partments, business and offices, Of the
expenditures necessary in the next
fiscal year, and Of making an estimate
OF the revenues OF the government for
the same period. If a probable deficit
is thus shown it is the duty Of the
President to recommend the method by
which deficit can be met.
Many important reforms in admins
tration have been made, and Mr. Taft
wants these reforms extended. The
president realizes that it is impossible
in the preparation Of estimates greatly
to reduce the cost OF permanent adj
ministratiOn. This cannot be done
without a thorough reorganization OF
the bureaus, offices and departments.

HIGH PRICES AND THE TARIFF.

for the advance in prices are:
The tariff.
"Trusts, combines and monopolies.
Increased money supply.

Minority members OF the select COM
mittee on wages and prices of com
modes.
In vigorous and Illuminating re-
port, made public yesterday afternoon,
the minority members of the Senate
committee which devoted many months
to investigating the increased cost OF
living. take issue with Senator Lodge
and the rest of the republicans and de
clare that trusts and tariffs are chiefly
responsible for higher prices. Sena-
tors Johnston. OF Alabama; Clarke, of
Arkansas, and Smith of South Carolina
sought to demonstrate by witnesses
that the tariff was blameable, but were
prevented from effective work by Sena-
tor Lodge. chairman OF the committee,
and his associates, who were all stand
pattersl
In lesser degree the democrats find
these coDtributory causes for advanced
prices for necessaries Of life:
Increased cost Of production Of farm
products by reason Of higher land
values and higher wages.
Increased demand for farm products
and food.
Shifting OF population from food
producing to food-consuming occupa-
tons and localities.
immigration to fOod-consumng
localities.
Reduced fertility of land, resulting
in lower average production or in
creased expenditures for fertilization.
Increased banking facilities in
agriculture localities, which enable
farmers to hold their crops and market
to the best advantage.
Reduced supply convenient to trans
portation facilities of such commodl-
ties as timber.
Cold storage plants, which result in
preventing extreme fluctuations OF
prices of certain commodities with the
seasons, but by enabling the whole
salers to buy and sell at the best pos
sible advantage and then to advance
prices
Increased cost OF distribution.
Industrial combinations.
Organizations Of producers or OF
dealers.
Advertising.
Over-capitalization.
Higher standard OF living.
Each of these items is taken up by
the minority and evidence adduced to
show in just what way and to what ex-
tent the reason assigned has aided in
making living more expensive.
Vigorous attack is made in the min
ority report or almost all the reasons
given by the majority report OF the
Lodge committee, submitted some time
ago, as the cause for the advance IN
prices.

Belgium Fears Panic.

Brussels, Aug. 16.-Business men
Of Brussels are today demanding that
an extra session Of the Belgian Parlia-
ment be called TO make provision
against a panic following the financial
reverses occasioned by Sundays dis
astrOus fire that almost wiped out the
Brussels Universal international Ex-
position. The exposition was reopened
today under the most discouraging
circumstances. Only n handful OF
visitors were present, and it is now
certain that the enormous crowds that
we're expected during the latter part
OF August and September will not
materialize. This not only means that
the exposition will be conducted at a
tremendous loss, but that the merchants
and townspeople will get practically
no return on the heavy Investment
they have. Already thousands OF ex-
position employees have been let out,
and local labor conditions are in dan
ger of being upset by this army Of
unemployed. Parliament will pro-
badly be asked to vote bonus to the
promoters OF the exposition and to
inaugurate government works to pro-
vide for those out OF employment.
