WHY SEE RED" WHEN
ENGLAND is NAMED ?

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
It's a pity that the climate of WASH
ington is so injurious to the nerves of
some of its people. and more especially
if England is mentioned in any way, it
always seems to place them in the same
position with bull when he sees a red
rag shaken in his face; he is not able 10
understand 1t, so he jumps right at 1t
with a roar, and that is the same way
with such writer's as Mr.. Turner and
Mr.. George c. Tanner, who, in The
Times, sees EnglandS hand in Togos s
visit
I AM sure Mr.. Tanner shows very
-sightedness in all he says. If he
will only remember that President Taft
is wholly and solely responsible for the
arbitration treaty between this country
and England and France, and II does
him great credit. Does Mr.. Tanner also
know If any other foreign nation wants
the same treaty? They must ask for
II; it's not forced on them. And when
Admiral Togo spoke in such glowing
terms of the treaty when he first ar
rived. he was only voicing the views
and future intentions of Japan
AS for the Japanese and English al
lance being a one-sided contract, and
all in favor of England, despite the
''quid pro quo" which is generally the
foundation of all such alliances. Mr..
Tanner seems to think his Japanese
friends are children and irresponsible
and have been badly hoodwinked by
England. I believe the japanese are
called the Yankees of the East" Does
Mr.. Tanner understand the full signifi-
canoe of that saying? Why should Mr..
Tanner see anything in Admiral Togo
arriving the day after Mr.. Bryce signed
the treaty, when he is on his shortest
way home across this continent, and IL
he had chosen to 80 home round the
Horn, this country would very soon
have wanted to know why?
AS for England sending him, MT Tan
ner might as we'll say England told this
country to give him such a royal recep-
ton. when Mr.. Taft is only showing
that same courtesy to the personal rep
resentatiye of the japanese ruler which
he himself and party received while in
japan. ,., -
It's a glorious charter,
Deny II who can,
That's breathed In the words,
I'm an Englishman.

BLOOM TO
TRY AGAIN TO GET
LIEUTENANT RANK
Cause of Colonel Garrard's
Reprimand Taking Special
Course for Examination.

Private Frank Bloom, Battery F,
Third Field Artillery, is to be given
another opportunity to fulfill a long
cherished ambition to become a conf
missioned officer in the United States
Army. Orders directing Private Bloom
to appear at Fort Leavenworth, Kan,
September /, to take the competitive
examinations for promotion to the grade
of second lieutenant, have been issued
by President Taft.
The Fort Myer private, who previous
y took a similar examination and fail
ed to pass, and whose papers were IN
favorably indorsed by his commanding
officer, Col. Joseph Garrard, is now at
tending a Washington preparatory
school, and expects to mako a hign
percentage at the coming examination.
Bloom, who is Hebrew and the son
Of the past teilor at Fort Myer was the
cause of a severe reprimand being ad-
ministered to Colonel Garrard by Presi-
dent Taft a few weeks ago. After
Bloom entered the competitive exami-
nation for promotion, and failed to
pass, Colonel Garrard, in hts official IL
dOrscment of the application for re-
examination approved the findings of
the examining board and added gratui-
tOusIy that because Bloom is a Hebrew
would not be acceptable in the commits
stoned ranks.
Joseph A. Bloom, father Of the soldier,
gained possession of the paper con-
tanning the unfavorable recommenda-
ton. He forwarded 1t to Simon Wolf,
member of the board of the national
council of the B'nai Birth, who laid
it before President Taft. 1t was found
that no discrimination had been shown.
as Colonel Garrard's opinion had beer
expressed after the soldier had failed
in his examinations.
Bloom, who is now on furlough, and
Is attending a Washington preparatory
school, expects to pass the next exaE1i-
nation, according TO his father.
My son, since his return from Texas
where he participated IN the maneuveTs,
has devoted his entire time to his
studies He learned his weak points az
the previous examination last spring.
He IS confident that he will make a
nigh percentage in the next eXanlina-
tiUns."
Mir. Bloom said his son will leave
Washington for Fort Leavenworth
about August 26.

/ 100000 and some 100000 acres of

81 100000 and some 100000 acres Of
land.
As a private corporation, carrying on
trade in furs, it is still prospering.
The profits last year, according to a
recent consular report, were little
over 81 100000, and the dividend about
l5 per cent. This was on the fur trade.
But where the company is booming is
in its land business.
The agricultural and railroad develop
ment of the Northwest has been verit-
able bonanza to it.. By an arrangement
with the government it receives two
isolated sections of each township laid
out in the overwhelming survey of
the "fertile belt which reaches from
east of Winnipeg to the Rockies. The
land needs irrigation, and with these
small scattered holdings the company.
while it cannot enter into irrigation
projects itself, is in position to hold up
the schemes of those who wish to do
SO until it gets it's price. The govern
or's report boasts that in this way an
average of $3.50 is being obtained per
acre for land normally worth about So.
Then, too, the country is rapidly being
settled, and the wilderness of 1850 is
slowly being disposed of as rich farm
lands and town lots. 1t brought last
year an average price of Sl4.72 per acre,
an increase of 20 per cent even over
that of the year before.
These real estate transactions have
given opportunity for the declaration
of additional dividends amounting to 25
per cent since January l. Something
like 100000 acres still remain to be
of. Their value, even at $40
per acre, totals to ten times the capital
ization of the company. As side is
sue to the business of a concern en-
gagged in buying and selling the skins
of animals, the exploitation of real es-
tate seems to be profitable.

NATIONAL CAPITAL FINDS A
LAUREATE.

1t is not unknown that the glOrles
of the National Capital deserve some
thing more than bald prose. Indeed,
great lyrists and harpists have plucked
the vibrant wires in many vain at
tempts to celebrate its charms. The
most ambitious of them have not even
been able to do justice to the new con-
crete reservoir.
But from the Lone Star State comes
bardic Baedecker who has undertaken
to furnish forth a wade mecum in verse,
enumerating the principal points of
interest, with dates and dimensions
This inspired District of Columbiad
makes the laurels of Judd Mortimer
Lewis look like a garland of dog fennel.
In a covering letter the author informs
us that his poem was written in Balti-
more, where he has retired to think
over all the wonders of the Capital,
and asks us to make any changes in
the wording which may be necessary.
We are frank to say that any effort
to alter jot or little would mar the
peculiar merit of the contribution.
The reader will thank us if we begin
at the beginning:
1 am mounting the stairs at midnight,
Descending at early dawn,
To study the scenes so beautiful
In the city of Washington.
1 am climbing the steps of the Capitol,
The home of historical retreat
Where all the Presidents of our nation
Have rested their weary feet.
There is originality, at least, in thus
conceiving of the marble halls on Capi-
tol Hill as a great national fender 1t
suggests the common hearthstone of
home loving people. But we tarry:
parade the banks of the Potomac,
With beauty and splendor galore
The river beloved by Washington
In the grand old days of yore.
can see his stately monument
Five hundred and siXty-five feet high,
And multttudes of visitors
Whom are loath to pass 1t by.
We regret to say that our poet must
be little more careful of his feet, on
which good prosody depends so much.
The monument is only 555 feet high.
But this is mere trifing. Again:
I can see the beautiful Fairgrounds
OF parks and plazas so GEAR,
Studded hither and thither with monuN
ments
OF men who never knew fear.
can see the historical White House.
COrDerstOna laid in Sayantean DiOaty-
Inspected by George and Martha Wash
ington;
Was fired by British troops, 1t is true.
Allusions to that little episode with
Great Britain, couched in words that
breathe and burn, are liable to stir
the embers of hate, and while we will
not go so far as to say that it is evil
dence of an unmusical ear, it shows
some heedlessness thus to threaten the
comfy of nations. But there is yet
another stanza. Would there were
more! The appetite grows with the
eating:
My heart has forgotten it's aching,
AS 1 return to my haven of rest
On three twenty eight Indiana avenue
Where found all services the best =
! have laid by my sorrows and burdens
To study this city so grand,
That may tell my people who await
me
In our dear old Texas land!
Where's Larry Crittenden, cowboy
poet, whose ambidextrous genius is
equally skilled to turn a sonnet or
throw a steer? Where's Capt. Jack
Crawford, the poet scout? Let them

ished heads.

CALLS 1T CLIMAX
OF ANGLOPHOBIA
To the Editor Of THE TIMES.

10 the Editor OF THE TIMES:
In answer to Mr.. Tanners letter of
the 5th inst. 1 was always aware that
there was such a mental affliction
known as anglophooia. but did not ex-
pect it TO reach such a violent state
as Mr.. Tanners letter portrays. Such
unreasoning Vituperations against Eng
land and everything British is too alb
surd to be, taken seriously. The climax
of nonsensa was reached when Admiral
Togo's visit was designated to be one
cf England's Satanic designs. Possibly
Halleys Comet may be in league with
.Perftdious Albion" It Is useless to
enter into any intelligent debate when
sucb hlind antipathy and violent pred
iudice are to be considered. One would
almost deduce that the writer at soma
period of his life had come into conflict
