STlMSON HAS HIS TROUBLES.

Every New Yorker should sympathize
with Henry l.. Stimson. who. as Secretary
OF War has his full share OF troubles. al
though he is not making any complaint
or putting forth any eloquent plea for
sympathy. For instance. when Mr. StimsOn
found himself fairly seated i'm the large
chair OF the Secretary Of War ne hogan to
look around him. and soon discovered that
there were officers I'm the War Department
who had been there almost since tho
memory Of man runneth not To the con-
trary." Without exaggeration. probably the
longest term Of service was that OF an Of
6ccr who had been thirty-scven years de-
tachcd from the troops. and ii is said that
there was many a colonel who could not
have distinguished right obiQue from a
formation in echelon. BE that ar It may.
Mr.. Stimson issued some time ago what is
popularity known as the Manchu order %
which was. in effect. that all officers who
had been away from their commands four
years or more should reioin their rcgl-
mcnts. IIe has, however, found the order
pretty difficult OF enforcement. and one
yerGcious witness declared that number
Of officers had been on duty I'm Washington
30 long that they expected foreign service
pay from the minute they were ordered
outside the District OF Columbia. The in
stance at once the most pathetic and the
most cdfying came TO the attention Of the
Secretary by accident Two civilians un-
aware Of the proximity Of the Secretary,

Council Glad TO See Action of Grand
Jury and Willing TO Cooperate.

The following resolution was pass
ed at Tuesday nights session Of
council upon the motion of Alder
man McLaurin. when the part of the
presentment Of the grand jury rec
ferring to the suppression Of the liz
quor traffic was read:
Resolved, that Council is gratified
by the action of the grand jury, look
ing to the suppression Of unlawful
traffic in intoxicating liquors; and as
sures that honorable body Of their
determination-in the future, as i'm
the past, to employ every lawful
means to correct the disgraceful con-
ditions now existing. Council re-
spectfully submits that the same de-
gree Of diligence and effort by Coun-
ty officials, as has been shown by Of
ficers of this city, would result in the
punishment Of offenders, and the
practical destruction of their ne
farious business: Provided such ef-
forts have the endorsement Of trial

General Sessions by convictions in all
cases when the evidence was sufi-
cient for reasonable men. Council
would refer the grand jury to records

compare the large number Of arrests.

WM. BARNES CALLS ON TAFT.
New York Republican Leader May
Manage Taft Campaign i'm Empire
State

Washington, Feb. 27.-Unannounc-
ed in Republican political circles, and
apparently unexpected at the White
House, where he dined with Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary Hilles, Will
liam Barnes Jr., Of Albany, chair
man Of the New York State Republi-
can committee, came to Washington
tonight. His appearance gave rise to
all sorts of rumors, but the one which
was given greatest credence was that
he would take direct management Of
President Tafts candidacy in New
York State.
Before going to the White House.
Mr.. Barnes gave to the Associated
Press a statement assailing the recent
speech made at Columbus, Ohio, by
Col. Roosevelt. He made a point Of
the fact that the statement was issued
ident He characterized the Roose-
welt speech as a preface to a candi-
dacy" and "a violation of Repubn-
canism." He stated that if he were
one who could subscribe to the doc
trine expounded he would feel that
his feet were on slippery ground"
While Mr.. Barnes did not name
President Taft or mention his candi-
dacy in any way, his meaning could
not be misconstrued when he pointed
out that each New York district
would elect Republican delegates by
the primary system on March 16 and
delegates at large TO the state Con-
vention on Aprily 8, and predicted
that the best judgment of nearly
one-half million of enrolled Republi-
cans would be expressed"
The conference between the Pres
dent. Mr.. Barnes and Secretary Hilles
lasted until very late hour, and no
announcement was made Of the mat
ter discussed.
Among those who learned of Mr.
Barnes views, and who claimed to
be familiar with his probable pur-
pose it was stated that he undoubt-
edly had urged the President to in
sist upon a very strong platform. in
so(ar as ii reaflirmed Republican
principles of the past, and 10 hold
ont against recent doctrines as ex-
pressed 10y the more radical of the
progre SsiVeS.

dence that the State did not owe
them half this amount, the liquor
houses went into the United States
court in order to get their 100000.
And right here / must say that l have
always been surprised at the large
number of our citizens many of them
good honest men, loyal citizens, but
so blinded by their love for the State
dispensary system that they almost
prayed that the United States Court
would acquire jurisdiction and wind
up the affairs Of the State dispensary
OF course. if the Supreme Court of
the United States had sustained the
judgment of the United States Cir
cult Court and of " United States
Court of Appeals, then Fielder would
not have received a cent, and all the
time and all the money and all the
services he had spent would have
gone for naught. And it has been
conscrvatively estimated that the costs
Of the administration in the United
States Court. and which the State of
South Carolina would have paid, at
torncys fees and all. under these cir
Cumstauccs, would have been over
100000. Now while You, possibly,
like Teddy Roosevelt. would have
been delighted" because thus Fielder
would have received nothing. do not
believe the taxpayers of South Car
olina would have hccu delighted"

on them to pay dispensary deficiency
of from two to three hundred thous-
and dollars.

the race for Governor This year is
evident from the talk which has been
heard. and which persists. In spite OF
the announcement OF Capt. Richards
that he IN going to make the race for
railroad commissioner. the position
no now holds. Major Richards is not
taking any part I'm this matter, and
stated this morning In response to an
inquiry that ne had not changed his
mind. and that he had settled the
matter by his announcement regard
tng the Goyernorship some time ago.
The talk. however. comes from friends
who want to zee Major Richards In
the race.
Some days ago there were plans on
not. 90 II Is stated. to hold conven-
tich.~ and IL Is stated that 1t was to
have been held In March. to nominate
Major Richards. 1t will be remem-
bered that rillman In 1890 was nomi-
mated Tor Governor by March Con-
vention. although this may not have
had anything to do with the plans
which were raId to have been on foot;
stiil II may have been thought that
auch q convention would create a
good impression and be good luck"
Of course. this conclusion has to be
drawn largely by surmise.
The idea. evidently. among the sup
porters Of Major Richards those
wanting him to enter the Gubsrnator-
Nj race. was that the demand would
