Ing secretalH OF the bureau of chemistry
when the original row was precipitated,
was again the acting chief OF that bureau
owing to the ;bsence of DR.. Wiley. The
chief was enjoying another section of his
delayed honeymoon at Bluemont.
Hays Mikes No Comment.
Or. Hays, the acting Secretary, listened
10 all the newspaper dispatches that were
read to him bearing on the Presidents
action, and then, leaning back in his
/. hair and folding his hands. he said:
"Of course as / have received abso-
lutely no official information as to what
Tn. President has done, il would be i'm
possible for me TO comment on the case.
He explained in some detail how the
Rusby letter to DIR. Wiley, on which

hoard was b.i sed had really not been sent

DR.. Wiley Reticent
over the long-distance telephone, from
his farm at Bluemont, DR. Wiley said
merely that he had no comment to make.
oven this slight statement was made
through three relays. as the doctor could
not be reached personally and his COM

Mrs. Wiley.

Of the Department of Agriculture, in
which. after summarizing the evidence
adducel before them. they recommend
that Df III. H. Rusby, pharmacosnosist

from the service: that DR.. l.. +. kebler,
chief of the drug laboratory in the bureau

II. III. Rusby.
Facts Developed as to Rusby.
The facts shown by the papers stated
shortly are as follows:
DR.. Rusty lived in New York and was
employed as a scientific expert in the
bureau of chemistry To examine lmpor-
tation of drugs. under AN agreement by
which lie received $40 day for labora-
tory work and $50 a day for attendance
in court.
May "a 1900. the Attorney General ad-
vised the Secretary of Agriculture that,
under the act of March !. 1901 til stat
ESQ. no classified scientific investigator
should receive a salary to exceed 81
day. May 20, 1907, an order was issued,
putting him on the roll at Il salary OF
81 a daH when actually employed III.
Rusby objected to this and applied to Dr.
Kebler chief of the drug laboratory, TO
secure a different arrangement. The mat
ter seems to have been held In abey-
ance for some time. Finally. as q result
of conference between DIR. kebler, Dr.
Rieelow and DIR. Wiley. with respect 10
the request of DR. Rusby FOR an increased
DR. Wiley said he would
submit to you for your approval an APP
the rate of 5000 per annum on the
roll. DIR. BigeiOw then
wrote to DR. RuSby. under date OF Janu-
airy u, 1910. as follows:
"kebler and I took the matter up with
DR.. Wiley today and he said he would APP
prove it if we had on record an under
standing with you so we could not be
held responsible for your receiving an
annual salary and not devoting your
whole time to the bureau. I told him
that If YOU were given an appointment
at the rate of $40 month, you would
agree not to receive more than $40 day
for time actually employed. BY that
mean the usual official day of seven and
one-half hours. This would be equivalent
to eight and one-half days month on
the average. / told him that If 1t hap
pened that your work for the depart
ment amounted on the average to less
time than that you would ask for leave
of absence for sufficient time to bring
il to that basis.'
DIR. Rusby answered this letter and
questioned what was meant by 1t. He
said he did not understand BigeloWs
letter clearly and supposed that If he
did not earn the entire salary he would
not expect to receive any more than was
earned.

DR.. Rusby's Appointment.
Facts Developed as to Rusby.

Meantime, on February DR.. Wiley
submitted to you an appointment of DR..
Rusby at salary at the rate of $1.GOO
per annum on the miscellaneous roll. He
made the reduction after examining the
records and finding the amount of work
done by DIR. Rusby during the preceding
two years. You approved this appoint
ment.
After the appointment DR. Bigelow
wrote DR.. Rusby that he thought the
present arrangement was better than the
former arrangement, when he was re-
ceiving $50 per day for laboratory work
and $50 q day for court work, because, he
said. You are now assured of getting a
certain amount each month"; irrespective
plan your work as to interfere with your
regular duties to a minimum extent
This did not satisfy DIR. Rusby. and he
sought further information In letter
dated March 3, 1911, as follows:
Kindly recall that on my side, the
basis of compensation is not less than
$50 per day. At that rate only eighty
days work per year are provided for. and
that is not time enough to satisfactorily
perform more than the current port work
here. leaving no time for examination of
interstate samples, especially microscope
cal examinations or for attendance at
average, one day of preparation is re-
quired.
THE above facts lead to the inquiry.
Would not the salary named compel me
to either do very much more than eighty
days work per year or otherwise fail to
do the necessary amount of work in q
satisfactory manner"

Show Admiral Togo Everything |!

It has been suggested that under a re-
cent order Of the Secretary of the Navy
Admiral Togo will not be permitted to
inspect any Of our naval establishments
In the course OF his visit to the United
States on his way home from the corona
tton In London. There is good reason
for the rule in general, which restricts
the activity of naval visitors from other
countries. but 1t would be In the last de-
gree ridiculous to deny to Admiral Togo,
who will be the nations guest. the fullest
possible opportunity to see what the
United States has in the way Of equip
ment In the field OF his greatest interest
II Japan wants to find out what the

Ane of naval preparedness for war it
will not depend upon such a visit as that
which Admiral Togo Is about to pay this
country. In all likelihood that govern
ment knows all II needs to know on this
score already. just as it is to be hoped
that the United States is itself fully
aware Of what Japan has been doing
lately In this same line. In truth inter-
national spying goes on continually de-
spite the efforts of governments. and the
so~callsd secrecy with which certain mil
ltary and naval works are surrounded 10
more or less Of farce.
Certainly IL would be a confession of
Tear which this country is actually far
from feeling TO deny to Japan's greatest
naval hero full access to every part of
every navy yard in the United States.
The chances are that he would be able to
tell some Of our naval officers some
things about their own establishments
the meaning OF which even they do not
comprehend. A rigid enforcement Of the
rule would make this country appear
small In the eyes of Japan.

Such q tariff law ~ was promised by
the democrats in the campaign OF 1892
would bankrupt this country. Il would
cause Q greater money loss than the free
coinage Of silver at 16 to l. And In that
fact Is explained the failure Of the demo-
Gratis to keep that campaign promise.
They dared not even try.
So now as respects the Payne law The
democrats are pledged by stump utter
ances far beyond either their desire or
ability to go. They have no thought or
purpose OF attacking in its entirety that
sum OF all tariff iniauities." as they
have characterized the law. They are
moving guardedly and slowly against It.
and would be satisfied with a little change
here and a little there A good many Of
the 'iniauities'' are not threatened at all.
To some of his taunters Mr.. Cummins
might administer some OF their own medi-
cine. He might ask them about their
own records. and how they stand as re-
spects consistency on the tariff question.
But while the III auoaue might give him
personal satisfaction. 1t would not re-
lieve Mr.. Cummins OF his difficulty. Why
does he not favor reciprocity with can
ada. now that his vote as senator would
redeem the views he expressed when
Governor Of Iowa and while striving to
reach the Senate? Is 1t partly because
the pact before the Senate was negotiated
by Mr.. Taft, who signed the Payne law
which Mr.. Cummins voted against, and
is the probable nominee OF his party next
year. when Mr.. Cummins favors an
other-in fact. would be glad to lead
himself?

culture is not demanding the defeat OF

know and be active in the interests OF the
farmers. And he Is actively for the pact,

Uncle Sam and the Chautauquas.

Never mind about the Chautauqua con-
tracts. Suppose Mr.. Clark Is losing a
hundred dollars a day by having TO re
main in Washington. Suppose Mr.. La
Toilette is out an equal, or greater.
sum for the same reason. Suppose other
lights OF the lecture field are denied OPP
portunities to shine there because OF
imperative engagements with Uncle Sam,
who, though an accommodating old gen.
tIeman about some things. is unyielding
about others.
There is another side to the account.
These men are making records as legts-
lators which should add to their drawing
power when talking time does come.
They will be the more entertaining as
lecturers when the extra session is over.
They will be able to introduce new
topics. and give new interest to old
topics. as the result of the strfvings to
which they are now parties. Maybe their
talks can be made to carry higher tariffs.
Maybe they will be able to revise their
contracts upward, and so in the end lose
no money at all.
But money Is not the only cons1dera-
ton. Silence is at times profitable. Mr..
Clark is a growing quantity in the presi-

with the whole country at attention. they

extravagances. A friendly audience may

his tongue to his hurt. BY a word toe
much. or an idea pushed too far, he may
incur the necessity of voluminous ex-
plantations. And often the politician who

But the proposition, OF course, reduced
