HObson's Morality Resolutions in Con-
greSS.


Considerable interest attaches to
the action Pof the subcommittee of
the House Naval Committee on House
Resolution 351, introduced by Mr..
Hobson, calling on the Secretary of
the Navy and the Secretary OF War
for information concerning condi-
tions surrounding naval stations and
military posts, as such conditions
have a bearing upon the health and
morals of officers and enlisted men.
1t is desired to know the number of
saloons and disorderly places existin-
ence within a-radius of one mile of
each reservatiorR.s The heads of the
departments are invited to recom-
mend "such measures as they may
deem expedient in each case to i'm
prove such conditions, including the
extent of the zone surrounding each
place, if any, in which it would,
in their judgment, be eXpedient to
or bid by law the issuing of federal
licenses to sell alcoholic liquors. y
1t will take some time presumably
to get this information with exact
ness in the statistical form desired by
the author of the resolution, who will
make some allusion in debate to
neighborhood conditions which he re-
CARDS as a menace to the health and
morals of the members of the service
at naval stations and military posts.
There are some who see in this reso-
luton an opportunity for a recon-
mendation from the War Department,
at least, for the restoration of the
canteen at military posts. The resolu
tion will be taken up at the earliest
possible moment by the House NavsI
Committee, to which it has been re
ferred.

Prize Steers Not Good Meat.

The meat of more than one prize
steer has proved disappointing in the
eating, though fine to look at. In the
development Of the animal for compe-
titlon his flesh is sometimes, II not
always, scanned with small veins OF
fat which are dilated by cooking into
tough strings. Hence, the range-fed
steer, not nursed into prominence, af'
fords the better steak or roast.

zation scheme. In petition in equity
here in the United States court for the
southern district of New York, the val.
orization plan is declared to be a viola
ton Of the Sherman antitrust law.
The court is asked to decree the
scheme unlawful, to enjoin the valori-
zation committee from Withholding the
coffee from the market, and TO appoint
a receiver to sell the $4,000 bags, valued
at slo,oo0,0oo now alleged to be stored
in the warehouses of the New York Dock
company.
The government also applied for a
temporary injunction restraining the val
orization committee from removing or
disposing of the coffee held in America
pending the termination Of the issue.
The members of the yalorization com
mittee have agreed and conspired among
themselves, the government charges, TO
withhold from the market large guam

the purpose of raising the price of the
commodity to an unnatural and unreal

purchased the entire collection from Mrs
Teilland on Tuesday The price is said
to have been $4,000.
The collection contains about 1000
letters to Lincoln from Gen. Sherman
and w. H. Herndon and w. II. bamon,
his two law partners, and other promi-
nent Civil wartime folk. and % letters
by Lincoln himself. Here is an inven-

Situation So Confusing Nobody
Can Safely Forecast Result
ALTHOUGH PRESIDENT GAINS
In the Weeks Campaigning-Primary
Comes Tomorrow-Harmon Has
Good Chance to Win Whole
Delegation.

Columbus, May Practically on the
eve of the state primary, the official
Taft view Of the struggle for the forty
eight delegates is set forth in this state
ment, issued Saturday night by Chair
man Laylin of the state committee:
THE president win carry every dis
trict. When the national convention
opens at Chicago Taft's home state will
present solid delegation for him."
Even the presidents most ardent sup.
porters 10 not take the chairman's claim
seriously. They admit that the presi.
dent will be lucky if he carries four
teen of the twcnty-one districts and
gains control OF The state convention
aud the delegates -at-large.
The Taft people appear to be reason
ably certain of ut least twelve districts.
But there isn't politician in Ohio who
has clear idea as to what is going
to happen. The best that can be said
in their favor is that the presidents
chances have Enthusiastically improved.
State pride and resentment against the
methods of Col Roosevelt undoubtedly
will help the president.
The cOlonel's managers are even more
extravagant in their representations
than those of Taft. General Manager
Dixon, who stopped over here on his
way to Cincinnati Saturday, predicted
that Roosevelt would sweep Ohio, but
he was careful to explain that the coll
onel would win the nomination even
with Ohio left out. The estimate Of
Brown, the colonel's Ohio manager, a
boss who usually doesn't talk through
his hat, was that the colonel would carry
fifteen districts, which would give him
thirty votes. But Brown didn't say
which fifteen districts. He did say that
ii the colonel carried the districts he
would control the state convention and
crab the deIega tes-at large.
