SEES ENGLAND'S HAND
IN TOGO'S VISIT

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
The arbitration treaty was signed yes
terday by Mr.. Bryce. Admiral Togo
arrived from England the same day,
and the first thing the silent hero saln
was, II think the intern4tio arDl,
tration treaties between the Uhlteu
states and England and France are a
very good thing. Such treaty would
also be good for Japan. Could any
thing be shrewder and show the deep
English cunning more than all tnese
events happening so closely toseIhe[
Our Senate would be in session ana the
dramatic climax would be reached
when that august body, fired by the en-
thusiasm af the occasion, fell INTO King
Georges arms, and we were all happy
together.
Cannot any one with sense enough to
know a handsaw from comet see
England's hand in all this? Can we
not see that England coached the grand
old hero to ignore his own glorious
little country and exploits and turn his
current into England's ditch? This is
another example of England's shrewd-
ness
The alliance between Japan and Eng
land Is so thoroughly one-sided as to
practically make Japan an English prov
ince. Japan assumes all England's re-
sponsibilities in the Orient, and is to
keep India in subjection for England
with no equivalents. 1t is a pity Eng
land could not be satisfied with this
humiliation Of noble, brave little ma
ton and not use a hero like Admiral
Togo for her selfish ends.

OBSTRUCTIVE WORK
OF TARIFF BOARD
To the Editor Of THE TIMES.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
In these days when the desire to
bring government near to the people
is so ardent that even the preposter-
Gus recall of judges is proposed. isn't
it a little out of style to interpose a
tariff board between the people and
the representatives they have chosen
to give effect to their mandate for
lower tariff? No great amount Of
extra legislative machinery was in
voked to put the tariff up at the be-
hest of the interests-the parrot cry
of "pauper labor of Europe" was
enough. No tariff board should be
allowed to ,interpOse between the peo-
pie and their representatives whom
the people after full discussion and
voting on the specific question have
commanded a reduction of tariff rates.
AS for the tariff board, IL it is as
incompetent as it is dilatory, 1t Will
do little to illuminate a subject that
has submerged a swindled generation
beneath mass of statistics The
tariff board may dilly -dally-it can
live well on its salary-but the moor
and the exploited are getting impaff-
ent If votes are not heded thew win
use other means. PI,EREiAN

THE PEOPLE ARE
WATCHING CONGRESS

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The American people. Democrats as
well as Republicans. are watching yigi-
lently every move taken by the present
Congress: and the North, the South.
the East, and the West are anxiousIv
awaiting the enactment of legislation
that will tighten their burdens and
ameliorate the distressing conditions
now existing. The work of the Demo-
Gratis is admirable and should establish
them in high favor with the masses
But If The President and his followers
block or hinder the legislation necessary
to carry out the proper revision of the
tar1n and other needed measures they
will be struck down by a heavy hand
and destroyed politically for ali time.
They should be able to see the hand
writing On the wall. If they cannot
they will surely drift to their everlast-
ing doom.
The people are sorcly tired of tariff
legislation that enriches the interests
at the expense of the masses. The peo-
pie will not longer stand the running of
the Government by corrupt men. The
day of reckoning is near at hand The
Investigations now going on are dis
closing many diSgra aceful episodes in the
conduct of our Government II is up
to the Democrats to punish all male
factors in such a way as to break up
corrupt practices. The day of graft and
niSgovernme must cease and the peo-
pie must come into their own.

REGARDING
ALASKA SEAL HERD
To the Editor of THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
1t is beginning to dawn upon the
minds of certain high officials who sit
at the same table with Secretary Charles
Nagel, that still waters run deep in
that quiet committee of the House
which is uoW busy investigating serious
charges brought against the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor with regard ito
his protection" of the seal herds OF
Alaska.
When Mr.. Nagel wrote that loquatic
and insolent letter to DR.. Hornaday
May Is, 1910, threatening the latter u
ne did not let the former alone as to
that seal killing on the island last year,
Mr. Nagel stirred up the wrong man,
These hearings before the House Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor have de-
Veloped several ugly points for Mr..
Nagel to face and explain, if he can.
That Elliott and Hornadav know what
they are doing is very clear in this
testimony which they have given to
that committee. What Nagel knows in
the premises will soon be forced ont
of him. AMOS ALLEN.
The Washington times., 1911-08-05

the work successfully came in a spidery
peekaboo or her grandmother's bom-
bazine. Given an equal amount of
initial intelligence, the advantage would
all lie with the older woman, who
would probably be able to spell phthisic
without looking it up, and keep in
mind the fact that letter addressed to
John Smith would probably reach him
more promptly with the postoffice ad-
dress on it.
In short there seems to be no good
reason why the stenographer of thirty
should have to succumb to the COM
petition of her younger sisters, SO long
as business is business" which it very
largely is. At all events it would be
interesting to know what are the views,
and what are the facts, here in the
Capital City.
The Washington times., 1911-08-05

avenues in this park would give more
impressive distant view of the monu-
ment itself than could be given by a
high hill which commands a view Of
the whole city of old Washington.
When sites were being considered for
our Capitol building could not the same
arguments for impressiveness have been
made for site on open ground near the
river?
| do not know if all the danger from
Potomac river floods has been, or could
be, overcome, but let US not forget that
in 1864, and again in 1884, Pennsylvania
avenue could be crossed in boat, and
that Paris mas been taught by sur
prising experience the value of high
location for massive structures.
One of the chief arguments in favor
of the Meridian Hill site is that
there is another important feature.
aside from the opportunity on this
high pedestal for the massive base OF
masonry. for the falling cascades. for
the splendid city view, and for its ac-
feasibility by cars. The Lincoln Mon
ument on Meridian Hill would here form
a portal and a part of the Gettysburg
to dedicate this highway to anyone else
than Lincoln. Mr.. Lincoln is the lead
ing character in the history of Gettys-
burg. His eliminating glory is indi-
Gated in his Gettysburg speech What
an opportunity Is here to connect the
W
ian Hill. and the boulevard-the boule-
ward being a continuation of Sixteenth
street running in a straight line direct
ly north and south for sixty miles to
Westminster (near Gettysburg) and de-
fiecttng from Westminster still on to
Philadelphia and New York.
The appropriation of 100000 for the
Lincoln monument is fine. What is that
sum- however, when compared with
what win be spent for this greatest
boulevard on earth, named after Lin
coin, and paid for, not by, Congress;
but by the States through which it will
pass, and also by the good roads and
eutomohiIe fraternities? Here is a mon-
ument that will be continually added to
as centuries roll on. The Gettysburg
speech. inscribed on the monument at
the point indicated. will mean more
than If written on the detached s'ruc-
ture down in Potomac Park.

Big Disclosures Of
Land Frauds Promised

Sensational disclosures of California
land frauds, said to involve members
Of the Roosevelt administration, are
promised by attorney w. P. Fennell, as
a denouement of the 100000 suit filed
yesterday by Gen. J. Floyd King. of
Washington, former Representative
from louisiana. against DR.. Z. B. Per-
rim, Arizona millionaire.
King asks 100000 from Dr. Perrin for
alleged service in causing the Senate
on April 8, 1909. to order an investiga-
ton of alleged criminal frauds of DR..
Perrin, said to have resulted in his vim
dication. King says Perrin promised
to pay 100000 for this service before
Congress, but refuses to recognize his
claim.
Perrin, who is seVenty-three years of
age, and said to have amassed a for
tune of s20.O0,O00 raising sheep on the
Pacific coast, was convicted in Cali
fornia, it is said, of frauds in exchane-
ing arid cactus land near the San Fran
cisco Mountain for valuable grazing

ted by Congress and President Roose-

is THIRTY THE STENOGRAPH.
ER'S DEADLINEa

A Chicago woman, whose name is not
Mrs. Brown. but who let's it go at that
for publicity purposes, has written a
letter to the Tribune asking, more in
sorrow than in anger, why it is that a
stenographer who is over thirty cannot
get employment. In point of fact she
herself is slightly over forty. She de-
clares that for four years she has not
been able to hold position more than
two weeks, Notwithstanding all the
skill, fidelity, and intelligence she
brings to bear upon her work, and lay
it down as broad, general proposition
that thirty years is the deadline for
stenographers.
She has raised an interesting ques-
tion on which it would be quite worth
while to have the experience and
opinion of the keyboard operators of
the Capital. There can be no doubt
that there is large number of bald
headed sinners and light minded Lo-
tharios who mix a large amount of
philandering with a small amount of
business. With them it is less a ques-
tion whether the Queen of the Key
boards can spell we'll than look well,
and how much she will stand for with
out calling the police.
And then there are still other en-
ployers who sincerely figure it out that
an attractive young person in the front
office, with a peaches and cream COM
plexion and an attractive smile, is a
valuable business asset; she gives tone
to the place, and sweetness and light
and all that sort of thing.
And yet when due allowance is made
for all these various kinds and classes
of employers it must still be true
that there are others who are honestly
looking for the best days work for
the least money, whether the employe
be man or woman-and in case of the
latter whether she be some dove-eyed
darling of sweet and twenty or the
maturer woman whose experience with
life has sobered and tempered her into
a higher degree of usefulness. Speak
ing in very general terms it would
make very little difference to such en-
Ployers whether the operator who did

SHOULD CUBA PAY FOR OUR
POLICING SERVICESa

Representative Helm, head of the
House Committee on War Department
Expenditures, thinks Uncle Sam should
present a bill for about $4,000, 900 to
the Cuban government, and compel it's
payment. Our last Intervention in
Cuba, to restore order when revolution
menaced, cost about that sum.
1t is not unlikely that the United
States could frame up a justification
for such demand, in the treaty rela-
tions between Cuba and this country.
But the fact will stand, that this
Government ought to make no such
demand. Nothing would give to Latin
American countries a more unfortu-
nate impression OF our disposition to-
ward the minor republics of the three
Americas. At best, the Monroe doc
trine is looked upon with something
of suspicion by the minor countries for
whose protection it is really intended
a Vi SSiIOuS IdS RIO"H
up against the United States by reason
of a policy which we of this country
regard as altogether benevolent. Latin
America considers that the Monroe doc
trine is a means to saving it's territory
as an exclusive preserve of the United
States, by warning off all European am.
billions in that quarter.
The seizure of Panama, the effort to
readjus the finances of Central Ameri-
can countries, the unfortunate issuance
of what amounts to an ultimatum to
Chile in the Alsop case, and other
recent incidents have been exaggerat
ed by European influence in Latin
America to the proportions of great
wrongs inflicted by this country. Our
effort at policing Santo Domingo has
been misconstrued and misrepresented.
This is no time for adding fuel to the
flames of prejudice that is already too
strong and finds too much justification
in acts heretofore committed.

MERIDIAN HILL SITE
FOR LINCOLN MEMORIAL

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The recommendation of the Art Com
mission to place the Lincoln Memorial
in Potomac Park reads at first con-
vincingly. Large open spaces appeal
to one. 1 suppose that avenues might
radiate from the monument at this
place, which would give certain dis
tant views of the monument itself. The
objection they make to a Sixteenth
street arch on Meridian Hill is that in
summer the trees of Sixteenth street
would obstruct the distant view. A
later suggestion for a Lincoln Monu-
ment on Sixteenth street Is not as an
arch spanning the avenue, but as a
commanding structure at the crest OF
Meridian Hill Park, where we have an
opportunity for an impressive base of
masonry, for falling cascades and for a
city view, as from the Pincian Hill at
Rome.
When one comes to think of 1t, the
trees will soon grow tall in Potomac
Park and along its avenues, which will
obstruct this distant view of the i'm
mediate surrounding of the monument.
The question remains, II radiating open
