Drained and narrow-minded critics"
following the withdrawal of names of
men prominent in the political world
up for membership in the ultra-exclu-
sfve Metropolitan club, has centered
the attention of the country on the
snobbishness of Washington.
Close observers assert that the i'm
impetus given to existing social condi-
tons dates from the Spanish-American
war Before the treaty of Paris the
millionaire residents of Washington
could be counted on the fingers. Now
all the rich and retired, the famous or
otherwise, the representative of whis-
ky, sugar, tobacco-every kind of trust
has his palace in an ultra-exclusive
residential section and the womenkind
set up to be social leaders.
Money and influence in the gilded
throng is the test which Washington
now applies to every ambitious public
man and his wife. The clubs are ruled
by money, and men who have baked
the political or financial schemes of

clubdom are punished if they seek the

Uncle Sam Issues Million Patents

THE United States government will
j soon issue its one millionth pat
ent for an invention. Commissioner
of Patents Edward Bruce Moore has
been looking forward for some time
to a celebration of the issuance of pat
ent No. LOCO, 900. 1t was his hope that
this distinguished number should go
to some experimenting invention.
The United States patent office will
be 122 years old when the coveted
number is issued The bureau was
established in 1870 as an adjunct to
the treasury department Early in
1886 there was a fire which destroyed
not only the building of the patent Of
fee, but every record. all the import
ant drawings and papers. and every
model owned by the government.
Prior to the fire the office had issued
1887 patents.
The first strictly American inven-
ton to receive a patent from the orig
lna1 United States patent office was
the cotton gin The patent was issued
March IA. 1874, to Eli Whitney. The
number of the Whitney patent was not
preserved. Neither was the number

Government to Wipe Out Moro Pirates

TT is somewhat startling to learn
i that piracy as bold and fierce as in
the days of Captain Kidd still -four
ishes under the American flag The
Moro pirates of the Philippines have
begun their attacks on peaceful mer-
chant ships once more. A patrol of
American gunboats was maintained
over the Moros in the Sulu seas until
recently, and withdrawn in the belief
that they had been pacified. The
Moros believed that the Americans
were afraid of them, and piracy imme-
diately famed out afresh. Now the
patrol will be re-established.
The Malay pirate of the eastern seas
is perhaps the most notorious of all
freebooting types. He excels Captain
Kidd in reckless daring and ruthless
cruelty.
Instead of sailing boldly forth in
fleets of outrigger boats, after the old
time style, with force numbering
hundreds of armed and intrepid war
riors, the Moro pirate of today estab-
fishes headquarters on some small
island, and therefrom as a base of
operations conducts furtive raids If
successful, he becomes holder, and

THE lid on the seething cauldron of
Indian affairs is loose 1t is to
be taken off without further delay by
Chairman Graham, of the committee
on expenditures in the interior depart
ment
For years there has been endless
rumor and vague accusations of graft,
trickery, jokers in legislation, of ap-
preparations nominally designed for
the Indians, but actually going to land
grabbing rings; of footing of the In
dian estates all over the country, of
waste in maintaining the Indians and
policies that tend to paupeMze them.
The facts are to be dug out. If the
charges are true, they are to get light,
If not, they are to be disproved- The
investigators expect to stir up a very
bad odor.

Committee Is to Sift Indian Charges

each year in the Indian bill go? It
has been constantly charged that they
go in large part to about everybody
except the Indians. For instance,
100000 was appropriated in the last
bill for irrigation of the F1athead
reservation lands If the stories now
being laid before the probers are true,
this money is to be used. not for the
Indians, but for lands that have been
taken from the Indians and are held
by spectators. The ella irrigation
project is alleged to present a some
what similar situation.
Another case that the committe is
going to probe is that of the Crow
reservation in Montana. A case of
Uintah Indians of Utah is going to be
taken up in the effort to locate re-
sponSibility for the woes of this tribe
The charge is that the Indians were
allotted their lands on a map, without
reference to topography. Some got
bottom lands and some got mountain
tops, and on these they were expected
to live while the rest of the lands
were deftly manipulated into the
hands of enterprising white men who
managed the deal.

ventures further af1eld in quest of
booty. Finding a ship in trouble, he
attacks it and murders everybody on
board. Coming across a village that
looks peacefully inviting, he sacks it,
massacreing all the adult male inhab-
itants.
Then, with his load of loot, he does
not return to the place from which he
started, but seeks another island,
where, with his comrades, he remains
until they have eaten up or otherwise
disposed of the proceeds of the expe-
dition- Meanwhile to hunt down the
piratical band is much like looking
for a needle in a haystack, for the
Philippine group comprises many thou
sands of little islands, which toward
the south are scattered all the way
from Sulu to within sight of Borneo.

Influence of Money in Capital Clubs

One of the most exclusive clubs in
Washington keeps on its rolls a man
who deserted his wife and six children

Henry C. Corbin, then adjutant gen
eral of the United States army, was
kept out of this same club through the
efforts of men whose sons he would
not appoint to fat positions during the
Spanish-American war. So many such
incidents have occurred in the past
decade that they cease to surprise

Bold porch Climbers.

The residence of A. S. Kininmonth
at Winfield was entered by porch
climbers and robbed of two gold
watches, about $500 worth of rings

The robbery was an unusually bold
