Politics and Pensions.

1t might be said that the House of
Representatives, by passing a pension
bill which, if enacted into law. will
add about $4o.ooo.ooo to the amount
already paid to civil war pensioners, has
been actuated merely by appreciation
of the services rendered to the country
half a century ago. 1t is impossible
to overlook the fact. however, that a
Presidential campaign is approaching
and that an excellent opportunity is
afforded to secure political advantage
through the distribution of govern
mental largess.
The country doc, not minimize the
loyalty and patriotism which was eX-
hibited by the Union soldiers from
1901 to 1905. nor does it forget the
arduous and dangerous service which
they rendered, 1t would seem, however.
as if all expenditure OF billions of dol
lars during the last fifty years, together
with the fact that the annual appropria-
ton for pensions now aggregates $780,
100000, had in large degree compen-
stated those who bore arms for their
country. 1t must not be forgotten,
either, that the proposition which yes
terday passed the House is not a new
one InaSmuch "a it has been before

owes his place in the United States Sem
ate to a chap named Finley McRae, who
acted as chief clerk OF the Montana legis-
lature when the two branches were in
joint session over the election of SEN
ator. A motion to adjourn had been put
on the last day CT the session. And a
majority OF one voted in favor. That
meant that the State would have to
scrape along with only one Senator until
the next regular session of the legisla-
ture. But the motion to adjourn couldn't
be effective until the result was an
nounced, and McRae added the totals as
slowly as II he were the foot Of the
arithmetic class In a night school. For
he wanted to see a Democratic Senator
elected, and he was hoping somebody
would change his vote before the result
was announced Members were rushing
about waving their arms like semaphores,
trying to get other members to change
their votes, or-not to change their votes,
as the case might be. Finally one Re-
publican changed his vote, then three
Democrats chanEed theirs, and the mo-
ton to adjourn was lost. few minutes
later Myers name was offered and he
was elected. II McRae had been less
deliberate in his addition, Myers would
still be country judge in Montana.
Although there is a strict rule against
tipping at the Chevy Chase Club, Presi-
dent Taft usually violates the rule slight
ly in the case OF caddies. He pays them
the regulation fee and possibly a quarter
extra for a round OF Golf. But aside
from that, caddies are always keen to
tote clubs for the President, for the rea-
son that he shows more patience than
almost any other player that comes along.
II a caddy gets to day dreaming and
loses a ball, or gets the score mixed up,
the President is tolerant. The only per
son the President ever gets mad at on
the golf links is himself. If he makes
a mislick. he calls himself harsh names
On the other hand, President Taft is one
Of the comparatively few golfers who can
drive of from teeing ground when other
players are standing around talking. He
is deliberate about his movements. but he
never gets peevish. no matter how much
distracting small talk falls about him.
The President has another peculiarity.
He doesn't seem to care a continental

Welt was working at the White House
he was altogether unenthusiastic about
having his picture taken while playing
tennis. But if Mr.. Taft feels any sensi-
tiveness about being pictured in golf out
fit. he has never let It become known.
Col Bryan, the newest Senator from
Florida, is one of the few Senators who
go in for tennis. He was a football
player in his college days, but now de-
pends upon tennis for practically all the
physical exercise he gets. So far as he
can recall offhand he has never done any
golfing.

, Boston, Dec. I2.-The Federal govern
ment filed a bill in equity to-day in the
United States Circuit Court for the dis
trict OF Massachusetts, against the United
Shoe Machinery Company of New Jersey.
a S2O,OO0,OOO concern: the United Shoe
Machinery Corporation of New Jersey.
concern Of $5O,OOO,OO0 capital; eighteen
subsidiary corporations, and twenty-three
individuals to perpetually enjoin the de-
PENDANTS from engaging in an alleged
conspiracy in restraint Of trade under
the Sherman antitrust law. The govern
ment's petition was filed late this after
noon by William s. Gregg, Special As
sistant Attorney General. and Asa p.
French. United States attorney for the
District of Massachusetts,. The govern
ment's petition charges that the defend
ants control more than 9S per cent OF
the shoe machinery business Of the COun-
try, and by means OF alleged unlawful
combination and leasing agreements they
have prevented successful shoe machinery
men from engaging in the business. and
have become so powerful that successful
competition against them is practically
impossible.
The government charges also that the
defendants have made enormous and
unrea sonable profits, the extent OF which
cannot with accuracy be stated, because.
among other things, OF the large num-
Der of associated corporations, the manip-
ulation of securities, and the excessive
valuation OF properties for which stock
was given In exchange"
The governments petition asks the
court for a permanent injunction to
break up this monopoly into its COM
ponent parts so as to restore compeu-
tive conditions. The Shoe Machinery
orporation, II alleges, absolutely controls
more than 9S per cent Of the machines
and devices used for attaching the
bottoms 10 the uppers Of boots and
shoes. and the defendants, the petition
adds. have It in their power 20 double
or even treble the royalties for the use
Of their machines, IL they deem such ac-
tion advisable.
The United Shoe Machinery Corpora
ton is merely a holding concern, while
the United Shoe Machinery Company is
an operating company. The officers and
directors of both corporations are the
same. The net earnings Of the two COM
panies since March l, 1905, the petition
declares, amount to approximately S45,-
314, 26l, or more than 81 per cent per an
mum on an actual investment of not more
than $3O,OOO.OO

were begun when indictments were found

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
By 4. w. MACY.
CHICAGO'S FIRST GREAT
CONVENTION.

The river and harbor bill passed
by Congress in 1886 was vetoed
by President Polk, chiefly on the
ground OF economy. This veto
stirred up a great commotion all
over the country, especially
throughout the Northwest, and a
"harbor and river convention"
was called to meet at Chicago in
July. lS4T. 1t was a great gath
ering, attended by several thou
sand delegates. Indiana alone
sent 223. and Illinois more than
l.00O. Among the delegates aft
erward prominent in national af-
fairs were Horace Greeley, Thom-
as Corwin, Schuyler Colfax, and
Abraham Lincoln. Strong reso-
lutions were adopted favoring in
ternal improvements, especially
those relating TO transportation
. by water. 1t was the first con-
vention of national Importance
ever held in Chicago. and for the
first time the eyes Of the whole
country were turned toward that
city. Some one has said this con-
vention was the starting point OF
ChicagO's wonderful prosperity.
The president of the convention ,
was Edward Bates. of Missouri
In his opening address he alluded

had never yet seen one. Fourteen
years later he Travelled by rail to

Child Welfare.

1t is not at all surprising that a bill
which proposes governmental inquiry
into the welfare OF the child should
arouse opposition in the J'rited States
Senate. There is no doubt that the
tendency toward governmental regula-
ton OF everything. from trusts to family
conduct. is reaching unusual proper
tlons As Senator Bailey remarked. we
have for d hundred years left matters
concerning children to the proper au-
thorities, which are the fathers, mothers.
and guardians. and during that time we
have reared d great race of people. 1t
may be also true. as Senator Hepburn
insists, that if a bill should be intro
duced proposing to achieve eternal sal
vation by law. many people would vote
for it 1t Is this feeling entertained by
many worthy legislators which leads
them TO view with disapprovai any de-
parture from the traditions of the past.
There is, however. another point of
view. The bill in question merely pro-
<ideS that there shall be an investigq-
ton and report upon all matters per-
tanning 10 the welfare of children and
child life, especially the questions of in
fant mortality, juvenile courts, danger.
Gus occupations, the birth rate. acci.
dent and diseases of children, en-
ployment and kindred subjects. We
submit, with all due Difference to the
sentiment that is widely entertained
against governmental interference with
the family prerogative, that an inquiry
of this character cannot do any harm
and might easily BE- productive of great
good. The recent report on infant
mortality in the United States, as sub
mitted by the Census Bureau, is. for in-
stance, disgrace TO our civilization
There would seem to be no reason why
hundreds of thousands of infants should
die during their first year of life, and

American Civic Association.

Washington welcomes to-day the
delegates to the annual session of the
American Civic Association, an organi-
cation which occupies an enviable place
in our body polite. 1t exists for the
purpose of securing improved munich
pal conditions and prosecutes its work
with intelligence and enthusiasm The
programme which has been arranged
includes discussion of almost every
phase OF municipal activity. with ad-
dresses by experts who are thorough
ly competent to deal with the various
subjects
; The awakening of the cities to the
possibilities of good government is CO.
incident with the progressive movement
sweeping over THE country. Not only
this, but it is realized that cities should
be developed along well-defned lines,
and not allowed to grow in haphazlrd
fashion. We Can well afford to learn
from Germany the value OF city-plan-
ming, Just as we can wisely follow Great
Britain in the Improvement of homes
for the poor. There is much to be ac-
complished, also. in emphasizing the
artistic side of city development. This
phase of progress is now attracting wide
attentions
1t is especially appropriate that this
session of the Civic Association should
be held in Washington. which is con-
stantly striving to merit and hold the
title of a model city. The presence of
the delegates will undoubtedly prove of
mutual advantage to them and to the
city in which they meet.
