dent Is Gaming Friends Rapidly
on Tour of Country.
From the Saginaw Courier-Herali.]
Congressman J. w. Fordney, who has
been at Aberdeen, Washington, for the
past FIVE weeks, arrived home yester-
day. Speaking of business in the far
west he said: Business Is tagging
there about the same as it is here. Too
much much agitation regarding legis-
lation that would affect business is the
cause. The uncertainty that a presi.
dental year always brings has been ad-
vanced by the fear of tariff changes by
the present congress. Then there was
uncertainty until the Canadian reci-
procity business was settled. People in
the state of Washington were general
ly opposed to reciprocity. Wheat and
lumber are among the practical indus
tries and the fear there was that reci-
procity would be detrimental to these
interests For my part think James
Hill, the railroad magnste, expressed
pretty nearly the truth regarding reci-
procity when lie said that possibly two
great nations had made a big mistake.
Possibly the United States made mis-
take in offering reciprocity and Canada
made greater mistake in rejecting it.
THE sentiment in Washington is in
favor of the denomination of President
Taft. think that is true of all the
Pacific coast states. 1 think President

The Clerical Attire.
From the Boston Globe.


Among the many reforms proposed and
discussed at the recent church congress
IN Notwithstanding a revision of the
prayer book and a thorough overhauling
Of church finances, since the Archbishop
of Canterbury draws an annual salary of
$4,000 while 1.5O0 rectors of pa rishes
have to scrape along on $500 a year-was
a proposal to abolish the distinctive cler-
fcal dress, not only the shovel hat, apron
and CATERS Of the bishops. but the con-
ventional attire of the ordinary clergy
man.
This suggestion appears little less than
sacrilegious to that stanch tory periodical
the Queen, which asks why a soldier of
the cross should not wear the uniform of
the church militant Should a clergyman
dress like a stock broker, bank clerk, q
doctor or lawyer? Would this propiti-
ate the workingnan? Or, If he We're
clothed like an engine driver would that
break down the feeling of caste? BY no
means, says the Queen which puts No

citing and foot ball. if soldering and
sailoring, and even shop walking and
company promoting each has its recog-
nized style of costume or dress. why
should not the ministerial office have its
own appropriate apparel?
That Is logical enough. All the same,
the vast majority of sensible and well
meaning folk care less about the style of
q clergyman's coat or the shape Of his
hat than about the size of his brain and

from the romance and adventure which

wears of vexatiouS delays. have just taken
possession of their home on Sheridan
circle one of the most complete mansions
in the city. They have resided for the
past three winters in the home of the
former Vice President and Mrs. Levi p.
Morton, at the intersection of Rhode is
land avenue and 18th street. and they
added largely to the social history of that
historical house. Mr.. Hammond gave
some dinners which will live in the socio-
political history of the time, and his even
ing feteS were worthy of his great riches
and the reputation gained for hospitality
in London. South Africa and in California
Mrs Hammond also entertained constant
ly. and she had the gift of gathering at
tractive young people about her. Last
winter she presented to Washington So
ciety two charming nieces, Miss Eliza
Morgan McMullin and Miss May Ham
mond, both of California, and series of
gay functions for the younger set extend
ed through the entire season. Now that
they are in their own home tee hospi-
taIities of Mrs. -4ammOnd Will assume
that large character which is indicative
of her general concepts of social and pa
triOtiC duties. the Morton mansion, Du1lt
some thirty years ago, remains one of the
elegant homes of the capital, but it has
less than a third of the floor space in the
drawing rooms of the new Hammond
home.
Like all who are truly charitable, Mrs.
Hammond shrinks from telling her part
in the work of the Civic League, but her
friends are eloquent on this theme. She
does not hesitate to say that she feels for
people who have little of the comforts
and pleasures of this world. because she
has known the sting of poverty and the
necessity of guarding every penny. This
feeling animates her in her work for the
Civic League, and so keenly can she
dissect an evil and offer remedy that
for philanthropy her services are as
much in demand as her husbands are
for mining purposes.
Recently Mrs. Hammond has returned
from a trip to Chicago and the cities of
the middle west undertaken in behalf of
the woman's welfare department of the
National Civic League She is general
secretary of that organization and many
officials who draw salaries in the five
figures do not work more assiduously.
The work to which she has devoted such
tireless energy is to remedy the condi-
lions under which working women per-
form their labor. This includes every
kind of work at which women are en-
p'oyed and under every sort of employer.
