DEATH OF JOHN A. KASSON, A
VETERAN STATESMAN.

At the age of nearly ninety years,
with long record of brilliant public
service behind him, John A Kasson
has gone to his reward. His death
removes one OF the most interesting
figures from the stage OF life in Wash
ingtoH. Few men now living have to
their credit the record of participation
II great affairs and OF public achieve
meHts that belongs TO Mr.. Kasson.
For a half century Mr.. hassOn was
a prominent figure in politics and ma
tional affairs. a New England man by
birth, his home for more than fifty
years was in Iowa. He was able, ac-
complished, and versatile, a lawyer Of
rare attachments, a diplomat Of large
capacity, an orator, legislator, and an
aII-aroInd man of affairs. Neither from
the East nor from the West has there
come in many years a more accom-
Plished public man than Mr.. Kasson,
who was as well known in the capitals
of Europe as he was IN Washington
Many things are worthy of com
ment with relation to the life of Mr..
Kasson. Not the least of these is
that he held high office under Lincoln
and was a member OF the civil war

THE ORIGIN OF THE TERM
BUCKET SHOP"

The Times has received a most in
terestiag communication from Il reader
in Alexandria, Va, throwing what is
believed to be new light on a subject
which Is just now among those upper
n ost IN the public mind Apropos of
tLe bucket shop campaign by the
Government the correspondent has
written as follows
Z noticed IN your edition OF May 3 an
article in regard to the bucket shop
business and the Gold and Stock Com
Of the New York stock market and also
various other details, such as the United
States money and Government bond

thing you have wrong in your article is

where they manufacture buckets The

and highly successful lawyer, of whom
II has been said. He has read every
thing that was ever written and knows
everything that ever happened Com

tistion of the Kasson reciprocity
treaties under the Mckinley Admins

of these treaties, but the Senate never
ratified them, owing to the unwilling
ness of the high tariff leaders in that
body to make any concessions in trade
TO foreign nations.

DIES MONIES PLAN FOR BOOST
ING THE CITY.

Those energetic citizens who are
working so earnestly to make Wash
ington a convention city" are pursU
ing the wise and sensible course when
they seek to establish on simple,
business basis the work of getting
and handling such gatherings Com
mon sense requires such methods and
the experience of other cities justifies
1t as the only road to success
One of the American cities whose
sell boosting efforts have met with
good results Is Des Noines, Iowa. It's
system OF operations can well be CON
sidered carefully at Monday nights
meeting at the Chamber Of Com
meree, where plans are to be out
lined for putting the business OF get
tirg conventions for Washington on a
permanent foundation.
In Des N1oines the efforts Of citizens
to boost the city are centered IN the
Commercial Club. 1t has three Perma-
nent funds, upon which It draws for
y
for the particular work at hand
These funds are maintained by stated
contributions from the business and
professional interests For intance,
each person or firm agrees TO con
tribute a specific amount annually.
At the beginning OF each year, there
fore, the club knows Just how much
money it viii have and regulates is
expenditures accordingly.
One fund OF $4,000 per annUm is
used to support a railroad rate bu-
reau- One Of $4,000 per annum is
used for newspaper publicity, and an
other OF $4,000 per annum Is used
for getting and entertaining conven-
tons This does away with inter
mittent solicitations If the club de
cides to 90 after a certain convention
its officers DO not have to Tun around
town to raise a few hundred dollars
to send representatives to the city
where the convention Is meeting that
year It merely draws on its eonven-
ton fund for whatever expense Is
necessary. When the convention is
held the club draws on its convention
fund 10 meet the expense of entertain
ment. hall rent. and other such items,
and again Is relieved of the necessity
OF a hurried, emergency solicitation
The citizens and business firms give
their stated amounts at stated in
tervaIs, and are then through with the
whole convention business. They are
not subjected to the annoyance of fire.
quent solicitation and are always sure
their money is being used to the best
advantage
The plan has proved a great success
in Des Noines. where actual profits to
contributors are said to have been
more than sufficient TO justify the con-
tributions- The Commercial Club there
has found that State conventions are
more profitable to merchants and that
national conventions are more profit
able TO the hotels, cafes, and bars
II Des Moines can make a success
of this system IN a small way-the
population OF the city being about
IOO. OOO-sureIy Washington could
make a success of 1t in a big way.
