The announcement is made that
James Eads How. the millionaire hobo,
Is most optimistic. There can be no
doubt whatever of that.
The burglar who stole an alarm clock,
among other things, from a X street
home, yesterday afternoon, would have
got no more than his deserts if it had
gone on before he got away.
The last straw: Husband abused, as
charged in the suit of Maurice Davis
against his wife, Esther Goodman Da-
Wis. Although he AYERS he was cruelty
mistreated, he asks no alimony.
OF course, the army couldn't go
ahead and fight Mexico Just to keep
the enlisted men from deserting. And
on the whole, Adtutant General Aims
worth tells us, conditions have been
good this year.
Washington Germans tomorrow will
celebrate their national holiday, and it
Is safe to assume that the Vaterland
songs will be sung and the patriotic ad-
dresses cheered with all the whole
heartedness for which they are justly
famous.
The District National Guard contin-
gent which has been at Camp Perry is
now on the way to the target matches
at Sea Girt. The records which have
been made thus far lead US to expect
great things from the District marks
men.
Women are daily refuting the old
canard that they are unable to keep
secrets. Mrs. ]. ]. Talcott, of Wash
ington; Miss Dorsey Ashton and Miss
Ethel c. Slower, both of Alexandria,
kept Mrs. Talcott's wedding OF eleven
weeks ago secret until yesterday.
The army aviation school doesn't in
tend to rely upon American machines
alone. A Bleriot monoplane will prob
ably soon be added to the supply Of
American aeroplanes. The Bleriot was
the first machine to cross the English
Channel.
Hans Honniker, the love-lorn youth
Who Just couldn't keep away from the
object OF his affections, has promised
20 no to Germany. There are maidens
In Deutchland more lovely by far who
would gladly Join fate with the young
Lochinvar.
The assets Of the thirty-one banks in
the District, according to reports made
up as OF June z, increased 8, ,043,545 over
June 30, 1910. There are eleven ma
tionaI banks in the District which have
assets of So, 491, ,21s, and twenty others
with assets slightly in excess Of that
amount. The financial situation is
good.
Washington will be well represented

other person, and II he is, not pre-
pared to go on record in advocacy
OF the general and immediate ac-
ceptance Of the plan by the farmers
or the South, how can he expect the
farmers to exercise a safe 4and wise
discretion in passing upon 1t with the
meagre information now in their pos
session? II he Is unwilling to risk his
reputation as safe leader Of farm
ers by advising them how to act re-
specting an untried plan that he
brings to their attention, then IT
would seem that the safe course for the
farmers would be TO hold fast to all
the cotton they can finance with the
help OF local banks and avoid en-
tangling and hazardous alliances with
the New York syndicate. II they are
forced by circumstances to sell any
cotton, 1t will be safer to sell 1t out
right at the market price rather than
turn 1t over to the syndicate for r$35
bale. BY selling some cotton at the
market price--say $35 or $40 a bale
they may be able to hold the bal
ance for an advancing maj rket-and
what they hold will not be "placed in
the regular channels Of trade to
supply the demand Of spinners and
further depress the market.
The Pell & Co plan looks to us-a
man on the outside-like skin
game with millions as the stake. If
Mr.. Watson knows 1t is not a skin
game but sound and safe. Ae should
tell the doubters why and% wherein
their suspicious are unfounded.
