AUDITOR IN DOUBT
Law Provides No Time for Re-
funding Government Money.
DISTRICT OWES $76e, ,536. 90
Amount Due to Maintaining
Patients at Government Hospital
for Insane Thirty Years.

When is the District of Columbia to
turn into the federal Treasury the $780,
$500 authorized by the legislative, exec
utive and judicial act being refunded to
the national government on account OF
the cost Of maintaining certain District
patients in the Government Hospital for
the Insane during the years 1881 to 1911?
This question is giving Alonzo Tweedale
auditor for the District, something to
think about in addition to the usual prob
lens that confront the administration Of
the auditors office. There is nothing in
be paid. Mr.. Tweedale will have to lind
out some other way.
The bill as passed provides that the
local government shall refund the amount
mentioned on account of one-half of the
per capita cost OF maintaining District
INDECENT patients in the Government Hos
pital for the Insane in excess of the num-
ber charged to and paid for by the Dis
trict during the fiscal years 1881 to 1911,
inclusive.
No Time Set for Payment.
Originally, when the measure was
was passed by the House. it contained a
provision to the effect that the amount
must be paid in seven annual INSTALL
ments, beginning with the fiscal year 1913.
but this requirement was not contained in
the form in which 1t finally became law.
Under the act there Is nothing to in
dicate when or how the money is to be
paid. assert officials of the auditors Of
flee, and 1t is probable that the matter
will be put up to the controller of the
treasury for an opinion.
Account Not Audited.
At the time the legislation was under
consideration by the House deficiency
committee. Auditor Tweedale, who ap-
peared before the committee. suggested
that the account between the District and
the hospital for the years men,
toned Oe audited. This was not done,
although 1T Is understood an accountant
employed by the House District commit
tee is now Investigating the matter.
In the event the question is not put to
the controller of the Treasury for a deci-
sion, the local officials, it is believed, will
favor making only q small payment on
the account this year. Washington Is
said to be getting out Of debt faster than
any city in the country, and 1t Is not
likely that the Commissioners will recon-
mend increasing the rate of progress.

Echoe OF the Campaign.
Five months have elapsed since the
ending of the Men and Religion cam
paign Of last winter, and Mr.. Fred Il.
Smith seems more enthusiastic than
ever over the importance of the work
and it's results. He points to the con-
slant alIusion in religious conventions
and in the church press to Men ana
Religion methods, and to such notable
achievements as the Men and Rellg-
ion impulse behind the Pittsburgh
moral campaign. The body Of litera-
ture. in the form of the commission
reports issued by the Associated PrJs,
is doing much to conserve the mes
sage Of the Movement.
Mr. Fred B.. Smith and James g..
Cannon, the chairman Of the central
committee, are sending out a nation
wide letter to the men who occupy
the positions Of leadership Of the Men
and Religious Movement, calling at
tentiOn to some tasks hat yet remain
to be done and to the special respOn-
sibility which rests upon the men who
came to the fore in the Men and Re-
ligion campaign. The rejuvsnation OF
the American Federation of Churches
is directly traceable to the Men and
Religion Movement, as are also the
survey idea, and the "get together
plans OF the denominational boards.
Whether this movement SO typically
American Is to become a permanent
world method and force still remains
to be seen.

HELPS FOR SWINE BREEDER
Several Little Facts Picked Up In and
Around Hog Yard That Will
Aid Any Farmer.
By PROF.. L. SWINEYl

(By PROF. L. SWINEY)
Scientists now say that the use OF
virus on pigs from sow that has
been treated for cholera by the use OF
virus is seldom affected by the dis
ease. They thrive better than other
pigs if they are treated with the virus
and in that case are seldom attacked.
The pig made pot-bellied by feed
ing on straw or running on pasture
without any grain is an easy victim
of disease, because it is lacking In nu-
triton.
Dollar for dollar. middlings and
corn, milk and corn or corn and al
falfa or clover is a far cheaper teeo
than the corn alone.
Young pigs suffer from indigestion
Through overlooking or from feeding
on one ration alone just the same as
young children do.
Pigs, and, in fact. all hogs, should
have ready access at all times to SAT-
and ashes. Charred corn cobs are al
ways excellent
The reason why hogs 80 eagerly de-
YOUR coal, ashes, rotten wood and
such material, Is because they DO not
have, while In close confinement, the
material their system demands. AT
large they root such material from
the ground.
The farmer who grows hoerai
supply of roots for his hogs seldom
has much trouble from the ordinary
diseases to which swine are subject
A SOW eats her pigs because she
has been improperly fed during preg-
nancy. We never knew OF SOW
having this habit if she had been al
lowed to run in the pasture, or whose
rations had been varied and Wnlcn
contained plenty of green and sue
culent feed.

IF IT GOES TO CONGRESS.

A subscriber in Virginia has sent
US the following letter.
Since have been a regular sub
scribe; to the daily and Sunday
Tribune for more than twelve years
| do not feel that | am imposing
when | ask you to kindly answer
this question: In the event that
neither Taft, Wilson nor the "Moos-
sr" gets a sufficient portion of the
ELECTORAL vote, how is it settled?
It has been discussed pro and con,
and | ask for a full explanation.
If lou have ever published one, |
failed to take notice.
The information asked. though
it has been given before, may be of
interest to other readers who are
still in doubt. If no candidate for
President receives a majority OF
the electoral vote the duty of
choosing President devolves upon
the House of Representatives. The
Constitution says that choice
must be made Immediately" after
the failure to elect is made appar-
emily by the canvassing of the
electoral vote at the joint session
of the two houses of Congress, which
is held on the second Wednesday in
February. The house must choose
among the three candidates highest
on the list of those voted for for
President. Eaci. state delegation
has one vote, and the votes of a
the states are required to elect.
! In the present House of Represen-
tatives, which will be setting next
February. forty eight states will be
represented. twenty-five delega-
tiHns have ii Republican majority
and twenty-five a Democratic ma
jority. Four delegations are evenly
divided between Democrats and
Republicans. f the election is
thrown into the house there will
Lrobably be a d .ad-lock.
In case no President is chosen
before March 4. 1913 land a Vice
President is chosen the latter will
lie sworn in rs Vice-President and
Immediately thereafter become
President. The Senate elects the
Vice President IN case the electors
do not, choosing between the high
est two candidates on the list Of
those voted for by the electors fol-
Vice President. In order to be
successful candidate must receive
the votes of a majority Of the whole
number of Senators, of forty-nlne
votes. Since there is no certain
in the Senaterepresenting any party
it would be imprudent to pre- dict
what would happen there, anc
there would be no election prior tc
March 4, 1918. in which case the
Secretary Of Stale in the. existing
Cabinet would have to act as Presi'
dent from March 4 until new
President or Vice-President could
be chosen at an election ordered by
Congress.
