.ATARRH
A specific BLOOD MpURITY

Catarrh is deep-seated blood dis
ease, one which no amount of local
treatment will ever permanently cure.
The beneficial effects Of washes,
sprays, inhalations, etc., are only
temporary, and when left off the old
condition returns, because the blood
is infected with catarrhal matter and
impurities. This impure condition
of the circulation irritates and in
flames the delicate mucous menu
branes and tissues and produces the
well known symptoms of ringing
noises in the head and ears, mucus in
the throat, headaches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore throat, general
impairment of health, etc. This con-
dition will remain, growing worse as
long as the catarrhal matter is al
lowed to remain in the blood. Being
aspecifc blood impurity, there is only
one way to cure Catarrh, and that is
to purify the blood. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. 1t attacks

CAUSES HITCH
IN CADETS PLANS
Annual Drill at Ball Park
MAY Have to Be Trans
ferred.

Unless the new grandstands and
bIeachers at the baseball park are COM
pleted by the early part of May the
annual competitive drill of the High
School Cadet Corps will in all proba-
biIity be held on the White lot. The
annual regimentaf drills and sham bat
ties are always held on the ellipse back
of the White House, but the competi-
tive drills for the Allison Nailor prize
are held on two succeeding days at the
baseball park.
Application was made today, as is
usual, to officials of the baseball club
for the use of the park on some date
in the first two weeks of May. Answer
has not been received, but intimation is
made that worlCmen will be busy or
the stands so that they will be ready
when the Nationals return for home
games.
If the drills are held on the White
House grounds 1t will mean that the
yearly problem of tickets will be elm
mated and that instead of the pro-
gram running more than two days all
the companies in the regiment can be
put through the program on one day.
The one disadvantage, according to
school officials, is that the spectators
will, be forced to stand.

CARNEGIE BACKING
TAFT'S PEACE PLEA
Calls President Foremost
. Apostle of Peace in
b World.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Andrew Car
.negfe, the man who recently gave
$1O,c00,000 to further the cause of inter-
national peace, today is the warmest
advocate that can be found of President
.Taft's new policy of peace through ar
bitrntion agreements. Not in years has
anything so aroused the enthusiasm OF
the Laird Of Skibo," and he is in al
most daily communication with Presi-
dent Taft, whom he characterizes as
the foremost apostle of peace that the
world has ever seem
In an interview today, Carnegie gave
full approval to the views recently eX'
pressed by Lord Admiral Charles Beres-
ford, that America and England, work
ing together, could come near TO making
war between great powers impossible.
Assuming" says Carnegie" that our
race has abolished war, as 1t has pri-
.vate war-dueling-the effect upon other
nations would be overwhelming.
Brotherhood of Peace.
1T is only what have expected. That
one power will be followed by others,
one after the other. The fact is that if
this treaty is adopted by the Senate
world thatcher nations will do as the
one nation has done already-ask to be
allowed to enter the brotherhood of
peace"
What nation has led the world"
said Carnegie, lin government of the,
people, for the people and by the peo-
pie" Where is the nation in which any
mans privilege is every mans right un~
der the law? We are the first child Of
triumphant democracy and we are false
TO our mission if we do not only occupy
the leading position but push on stfll
further toward perfection, for there is
no limit to mans ascent on the earth.
Dewey May Live to See.
Il see Admiral Dewey is quoted aB
saying, I am for arbitration heart and
soul don't believe, however that wo
shall see, in our day, substantial peace
established on that basis l wish to
say that for a naval officer that is a
remarkably creditable statement. 1t is
the best thing 1 have heard from Ad-
miral Dewey in many a day. 1 hazard
the prediction that, if this treaty COM
bining the English-speaking races to
peace be executed, Admiral Dewey will
himself live to see a realization of his
wish.
Assuming that several of the nations
have agreed to such a treaty and that
IT was broken, we would Immediately
stop the mails. We would consider that
members Of the human family had vio-
lated the rules and prcprieties of the
club. and decline to have further inter-
course with it. This would be a much
more severe punishment than that of
war"
We Have No Enemies.
Asked whether he thought the fact
that the Government had succeeded in
mobihzing only 10000 troops in Texas in
two weeks argued against America 5
preparedness for war, Carnegie replied.
IF 1t were only 1000 soldiers l would
consider the nation invincible and armed
against ali possible enemies. We have
no enemies. A gentleman from Japan
declared to me today that If there IS
one nation in the world Japan wants to
be friendly with, that nation is our
own"

The District Bill in Conference

The Senatc's prompt passage of the
District appropriation bill throws that
measure into conference between the two
houses. where 1t will doubtless go through
the usual process Of compromise and adj
justment. The Senate has added Sl,I6p,-
f;' to the measure over the amount car
ried by it as it passed the House, and
has replaced some of the items of gen
eral legislation" struck out by the House
on points OF order and proposes several
new matters of the same nature 1t Is
In many respects one of the most salts
factory bills that has been prepared ill
congress for some time. 1t appropriates
more closely to the extent of the local
revenues for the maintenance of the Dis
trict government than the House bill, and
thereby lessons the amount which the
lower branch of Congress would have
the District pay during the coming fiscal
Year IN refund of the federal advances
Tor large permanent improvements. - In
recognition of the fact that it is almost
impossible for the District to obtain any
general legislation from Congress at a
short session, it carries numerous items
OF that character which are urgently
needed 10 correct existing conditions
initiating seriously against the public
welfare For an example, it provides a
method whereby substitute public school
teachers can be employed by the board
Of education, to meet an emergency
created by a decision OF the controller of
the Treasury. Unless this paragraph can
be carried through by means OF the Dis
tnct appropriation bill the schools must
work for an indefinite period .nder a
heavy handicap, with the teachers them
selves seriously burdened by a condition
which has no justification save in the
technical construction Of the existing
statutes.
In one respect the bill. framed in accord
ance with the organic act, should pass
unchanged from its present form. 1t is
to be hoped that the Senate ccnferees
will stoutly resist all efforts to effect a
withdrawal from the amendment where

tenance OF the public Fairgrounds shall
be paid on the half-and-haK basis. l:

Baltimore's Civic Center.

From the Baltimore American.
The suggestion made by City Surveyor
Atwood to the effect that 1t is about time
something should be done looking to ne
realization OF the proposed civic-cente,
scheme, Is one that very large percent
age OF the people Of Baltimore will in
dorse. Tentative plans for the contem-
plated central development scheme were
prepared some time ago by noted land
scape architects, and while these plans in
the final realization of the project may
be considerably modified they may be
accepted as representing approximately
what the civic-center Improvement idea
involves. The important feature Of the
plan prepared by Messrs. Carrere, Bruner
and Olrnsted is the puchase or procure
ment by the city of the space between
Fayette and Lexington streets, extending
from opposite the city hall to Jones falls,
and the space east of Harrison street, ex-
tending southwark along the falls to Bal.

The Tariff and Hearings.

The democratic members of ways and
means will not. it is announced, grant
hearings in their labors on the Payne law.
They do not consider them necessary. All
data connected with the preparation of
the law will be available, and will still be
fresh. Only two years have elapsed since
the republicans did their work, and few
changes have taken place since. Cost pro-
auctions and market conditions remain
very much the same. But tie latest fig
ures will be gathered and weighed, and
the measure or measures reported to the
House will show conclusions based upon
them.
When the republicans took up their task
two years ago they had a very different
situation to deal with. The law they were
called upon to revise had been on the
books twelve years. and the conditions it
had been framed to meet had entirely dis
appeared. When the Dingley law was
enacted the country was still rocking in
the throes produced by the second Cleve-
land administration. Business was almost
at standstill, and all values were low.
The necessary thing was revision of the
tariff calculated to restore confidence and
put vigor into business again.
This the Dingley revision accomplished.
Business revived at a bound, and by 1901
-four years Iater-everything was moving
so prosperously President Mckinley
thought the country might still further be
benefited by changes in the law This
he indicated in his speech at Buffalo, and
had he lived they would have been made
in q few months under his direction.
Mr.. Payne and his friends, therefore. in
taking up the work eight years later,
found it necessary to go into all details
thoroughly. and to consult everybody in
hearings they granted we're valuable to
them and to the country.
But the work Of the democratic commit
tee will, OF course. be open to review.
When reported to the House it will be de-
bated and every phase OF it examined.
Members who believe in protection, and
whose constituents are demanding protec-
ton, will have opportunity to give their
side Of matters. And we may be sure
they will be primed for the contest. The
figures they present will be such as their
constituents would have presented to the
ways and means committee had hearings
been granted.
1t 10 never possible to revise the tariff
in corner. The question is too large
and touches at too many points to make
such procedure possible. Too many in
'erests are involved. Too many people at
such time are following the business
with absorbing concern. The Underwood
hill or bills must be debated. and the de-
bate will be sufficiently long to enable all
in opposition TO give their reasons and
present the statistics of latest data upon
which they are based.

Qualifications for subsequent encroach-
ments by Congress.
1t is unfortunate that the District
budget should have to pass through such
a process of change and adjustment from
the time it is originally framed to the
time 1t becomes law. First the Com
missioners' estimates are submitted,
based upon actual needs. and, as in the
present instance, confined strictly to the
estimated revenues of the District, with
equitable provision for the refund of the
federal advances. Then the House COM
mittee on appropriations cuts and prunes
and slashes. and transfers from the main
tenance account a large part of the pros
pective revenues to the refund account,
thereby depriving the various depart
ments of the federal municipality not
merely of the benefit of a certain number
of District tax dollars for needed pur-
poses of upkeep. but double the amount,
inasmuch as every District dollar is

would not effect so many changes.

The Whipping Post Again.

Maj. Sylvester repeats his suggestion
that the whipping post be established in
Washington for the punishment of wife
heaters and those who assault women
and policemen, urging that a public
thrashinS is the only adequate penalty
for such miserable wretches. 1t Is not to
be believed that this idea will carry in
any direction. 1t has been twice negatived
in this District, the second time emphat-
ically by the House of Representative, to
which it was presented formally upon
the instance of no less a prepayment than
the President of the United States.
Not lopg ago the whipping post came
into evidence at close range through the
public flashing Of wife beaten at ha-
gerstown, Md, this punishment bringing
to light practically forgotten fact
namely, that the barbaric custom of put
ting the lash upon offenders is still pos
