responses. A valuable suggestion has
been made that all these charities de-
pending on volunteer or solicited con-
tributions from the general public
should be required by law to make a
showing of their finances and opera
ton and be subjected TO a certain
measure OF public control which would
prevent duplication, imposition and
abuse. This suggestion should be
followed up by the formulation Of
such a bill. which the legislature
would no doubt be glad to enact.

Richard Victor Oulahan is the new presi-
dent of the Gridiron club OF Washington,
having been elected at the annual meet
ing in December, relates Leslie's Weekly.
Mr. Oulahan is one of the youngest men,
and yet among the oldest in point of SER
vice of the Washington correspondents,
having commenced his newspaper career in
1886, when he was less than 20 years old.
For many years he was connected with
the United Press and afterward became
correspondent of the New York sun. Al
though he has been a member of the Grid
iron club but a short time he is one Of
the most popular and active members,
taking a prominent part In many of its
unique and successful entertainments. He
was especially known at these as an i'm
personator of former President Roosevelt.
year ago Mr.. Oulahan was elected vice
president of the Gridiron club and al
though he has since moved to New York,
he was given the compliment of an election
as president on account of the high esteem
in which he was held. lie is still prom-
nently connected with the management of
the New York Sun During the campaign
OF 1905 Mr. Oulahan was in charge OF the
press bureau of the republican national
committee and filled that most exalted
place with conspicuous ability, enhancing

shy on that brand Of inventive skill which
insinuates itself into the good graces OF
man born with a thirst. A delegation OF
100 boosters from New Orleans are camped
in Washington pressing for congressional
favor and dispensing hospitality with q
lavish hand. Ordinarily crowd Of 100
boosters would not attract attention in
Washington. Crowds are common events
when congress is in session. But the New

the art Of mixing irresistible combinations
That's what interests Washington, so
much so that the artists are working over

these people need money, and quickly
The problem has been where and how
they will get it. Banks and loan asso-
Citations viii not lend money without
security. The only way, then. that Is
open to them is the pawnbroker or the
private loan agent. Frequently an ex-
orbitant interest is charged, and the
so called loan sharks are not over
serupulous The municipal pawn de-
partment is established for the benefit
of this class of borrowers. Poor PEG
pie who are deserving Of help will thus
be given an opportunity to borrow
money at the lowest possible rate of
interest and on the most reasonable
security.
Under the Bertsch act these loan de
partments are to be a subdepartment
of the department Of public service
and are to be presided over by a super
intendent appointed by the mayor
The city council is given power to levy
a tax for the purpose Of creating q
fund out of which the loans are to be
made. Not more than 6 per cent per
annum Is to be charged to any paWner.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Corn Is Making Excellent Progress--In-
creased Acreage in Cotton.

New Orleans Picayune The weather
during the past week has shown con.
siderable improvement all over the cot
ton belt. While there has been some
rain the showers have been scattered
and generally light. Temperatures have
been rather lower than normal, but it is
doubtful if the cold has been severe
enough anywhere to do much, if any,
damage. While the frequent rains that
occurred prior to May I no doubt did
some damage, there has been no extern
sive replanting necessary and there is
every reason to believe that if the pres
ent fine weather continues farmers will
soon have their fields free of grass, and
the balance of the acres to be devoted
10 cotton planted.
There is no doubt that the crop is
we'll advanced in Texas and in parts of
Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia. 1t is
reported to be backward i'll Mississippi
and in the Carolinas, but on the whole
the situation is vast Improvement over
last year, and considering the increased
acreage devoted to cotton and the little
actual loss that has resulted from the
weather the prospect for large crop
is good 1t is worth noting that the in
crease i'll acreage is mostly in districts
mot extensively affected by the boil
wecyil pest
The corn crop is making excellent
progress and has not been hurtsto any
extent by the weather. There is now
every promise of a good yield. Pretty
much the same may be said of other
grain crops in the South. Rice is max
ing good progress, the rains having
been more beneficial than otherwise
The high water in the river has further
helped the farmers and planters in the
river districts
The weather has been rather too cold
for sugar cane. and the constant rains
and storms until recently have prevent
ed planters from working in the fields
and cleaning them Of grass. Neverthe-
less, the cane looks hourishing for thi:
| time of the year and no actual damage
has been done. With a return of goot
| weather the fields will soon be relieved
of grass, and with anything like fav.
lorable summer a fine crop will be as
surek
