tina Washington costumes. The deco
rations, consisting of flag pictures of

were in harmony with the day. AS

decorated upon the blade with
bunch of cherries, in the colors of
the l. o. T. NJ, black, red and white,
with the date written. upon the ham
die, and quite artistic, were the hand

were much priced by the ladies. Not
withstanding the stormy day there
was a good attendance of members,
and six visitors, Miss Boyd, Mrs. Car
rier, Mrs. Hampton, Mrs. Neil, Mrs.
Bowman and Mrs. Whistler. A good
paper from the life of Benjamin

hours with genuine enjoyment

REPAIRING A TREE

A most interesting article in Sub
urban, Life told Of the expert repafging
of trees. Cleansing them Of the rotted
wood, boiling them with iron rods in
one case IL feet long, and arranging
so that in future water could not drip
down within the cracks and destroy
the sound wood, and then finally fill
ing a great cavity with cement were
some Of the processes. The cement
was put in in such way as to be
below the level Of the bark, leaving
opportunity for the "cambium" layer
which carries the sap and the bark to
grow out over the surface from the
edges. The whole process for one
splendid chestnut tree cost $40, but
as the owner remarks the joy that
great mass Of green foliage, and in
their season Of delicate orchid-like
flowers, is to him far more than the
value of 70 brand new greenbacks
straight from the bank.

fBY TAXENNERl

Washington, May 3-A deficit Of
nearly two million dollars for the first
twenty-five days Of April!
A deficit OF more than eighteen mil
lion dollars so far this fiscal year!
A deficit of s19O,O57,Ss7.S6 since
June 30 1907!
These are features Of Taft "cut-to-
the quick" economy, about which so
much is heard everywhere save in
Washington.
Here are more striking illustrations
of Republican business administra-
tion:"
Marble baths for senators!
Automobiles to carry them 100 rods
from their offices to the Capitol!
Touring cars for the President,
Vice President and "Uncle Joel"
White House receptions which "riv-
al the glory of Napoleon's court" at
one of which according to the Wash
ington Post, "a dazzling ravine of gold
blazed before the vision"
Another group of charactistic cut
to-the-quicll" economies includes:
More than s2,5OO for appolinaris
water for the senators.
Thousands of collars to keep the
senators in vaseline, castor oil, olive
oil, bromo quinine, hair tonic, costly
perfumes, glycerine, bergamot, nail
brushes, clothes brushes, travelling
] expenses in attending funerals etc,
etc.
Then we come to this item which
stands by itself:
The addition in the last eight years
Of 99,225 federal oficeholders to the
payrolls Of the republic, at an increase
Of expense to the people of more than
seventy millions dollars.
How does this riotous extravaganza
effect the treasury? is asked. These
figures tell us:
Since June 80, 1907 the total ba-
lance in the general fund has dropped
| from 72,061 ,445.47 to $4,000, ,557.61.
With an average daily deficit eating
its way into this remaining eighty-two-
million dollars, but short time can
elapse before the government will
have to sell more bonds to secure
more funds to meet more extravaganza
es. Bond issues are added to the ma.
tional debt.
How does all this concern the av-
erage citizen? This is how:
The per capita appropriation by Con
gress jumped from Sc in 1890 to $12.4O
in 1909. Since the government raises
the bulk of it's revenue at the custom
houses and internal revenue offices,
you, Mr.. Reader, are paying for Re-
publican extravaganza in increased
prices.

jocular remark made by boy with

in space, the weather turned very
warm and Mr.. Denman remembers OF
hearing the companion, who had been

not so generally circulated in 1884"

1--WE expect that the customs re-
ceipts will fall off from now on said
a high official of the treasury to the
writer. THE recent increase in the
customs receipts was largely if not
wholly due to the interruption of busi-
ness while the tarin bill was in the
making. Importers held their orders
because of uncertainty of what the
new rates would be. As soon as the
tariff bill was passed, these delayed
orders were sent abroad and the in
creases in the customs receipts Of the
past couple Of months are merely tenn
porary, and do not Oy any means in
dicate that the new law is to be a
much better revenue producer than
the old one"

VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS
TAvENNER, "WRTER AND THINKER"
THEY REALLY EXIST.

Of rich Philippine sugar lands to the
sugar trust The trust has shown It.
self powerful enough to prevent a
probe by Congress. Just how It was
able to protect itself from an investi-
cation the writer does not pretend to
know. All that is known is that nine
resolutions providing for a probe of
this thieving trust have been intro.
duced in this Congress, and everyone
of them has been chloroformed. The
brother Of President Taft was the at
torney for the sugar trust, and Attorn
ey General Wickersham was former
law partner of this brother. The at
torney general says the sugar trust
should not be investigated, and the
President sustains this view.
