What They
Quarreled
About

an wants to keep room as dark as .

"And never can see Why a man
can't read a paper without having
every blind In the house wide open"
Sunday noon-a cloudy Sunday
when Paul had felt too tired to 60 to
church and Frances had gone alone.
Returning in the state of readiness for
irritation that often follows spiritual
uplift. she found her husband in the
parlor, haloed by tobacco smoke and
encompassed by Sunday papers. Every
shade was up to its full height, every
curtain pushed aside.
The sermon had been on "The Sins
Of the Tongue" II it hadn't been for
that Frances felt she could have said
volumes as she went about the room,
Strengthening curtains and shades. As
her efforts narrowed the light which
fell on her husbands paper. he looked
up with some annoyance.
"You make 1t so dark can't read"
he commented.
There's no sense h having every.
thing sprawled wide open like that. 1t
makes the house look horrid to have
the shades clear up to the top Of the
windows"
Then came the remark with which
this began and Frances retort. With
the words a recollection of the sermon
flashed into her mind ar che hut her
lips tightly and stopped to up the
scattered papers.
"Here, I'll do that" said Paul, ris.
Ing lazily. but what's the sense of
picking them up before I've done read.

"Do just as you please don't care

And Frances left the room with dig
nifty, her head very straight To go
tG church and say your prayers and
come home feeling happy and good,
and then to be met by thing like this
the moment you got into the house.
What was the use?
Like a profane echo came the MUIR
muir from the room she had quilted:
"Oh. hell, what's the useo"
Frances stood still Should she go
upstairs and cry or 70 back and laugh.
Thcn-was II the sermon or the
swear?-she began to giggle That
saved the day. She dropped into a
seat on the bottom step and broke into
shrek Of laughter.
"IIullo. What's the natter" from
Paul.
ITS SO funny! Here come home
feeling pious and prayerful. and lose
my temper the first thing and scold
and you swear! Say. isn't It funny?
"If that's the way you look at it"
"Well, It Is! Leave your old papers

MIGHTY HARD TO LEARN"
DIR. KENT ANYTHING

TO the Editor Of THE TIMES:
DR.. "Jeems' Kent furnishes us with
amusement at any rate. 1t Is doubtful
whether his remarks should be taken
seriously or whether It is worth wasting
time to reply to them. In his latest ef :
fusion he simply augments the baseiess
and ill-considered statements already
ascribed to him. In a former communi-
cation he notified the world that no
smokers would or could go to heaven
and challenge to prove this assertion
has remained unanswered. He has as
severated that no one versed in chem
istry or botany would dream Of smoking
and that the users of the weed are
necessarily ignorant. The falsity of this
Of the worthy doctor, but he has al
lowed 1t to pass unnoticed. He now
likens smokers to thieves and even
worse criminals dncluding, for instance,
such men as Thomas A. Edison), and
gives an itemized list Of the dire calami-
doctor would only investigate the facts
in regard to these diseases he would
find that practically all of them are due
to specific micro-organisms; so that
here again he stands sponsor for an
other half-baked assertion.
In addition to being our leading peda-
gogue, DIR. Kent sets himself up in the
new position of sheriff of Washington.
The futiiity of hoping to conduct a sue
cessful argument with the doctor lies
in the fact that his thirty years expert
ence as a scholar (D and teacher has
other people do not know and can never
hope to know that the eminent doctor
has actually reached the pinnacle OF
knowledge, realizes this fact himself.

BACONIAN OPEN
TO SOUND DRUBBING
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Your correspondent, E. F. H., in re
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS controversy, has
evidently laid himself open to a sound
drubbing by e. H. Sothern. He asks
twelve questions Of Mr.. Sothern, every
one OF which indicates a sublime ig-
norance OF Shakespeare and his time.
would like to ask four questions of
e. f. H., which I dare him to answer:
!. You assert that Bacon could not
afford to be known as q playwright, and
hence was compelled to father plays
on somebody else; do you not?
2. Bacon would therefore choose some
body as the putative father whom his
contemporaries and intimates would un-
questioningly accept in that character
would he not? -.
3. Did not the wits, playwrights. and
poets 9f his own age have very greatly
Shakespeare's accomplishments and
capacities than could possibly be pos
sessed by a generation three centuries
after his time, and is not this presump-
tlon proportionately strengthened by
that very lack of authentic material az
to his life and actions Of which you
complain?
4. IL, therefore, those very men. the
brightest Elizabethans and who knew
him well. thought he could write the
plays because they thought he did,
how can you be allowed to say he
didn't write them because you think
he couldn't? w r. c.

HONOR OF SERVING
is PAYMENT ENOUGH

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Is the honor Of being either the civil
or Spanish wars to be priced or is 1t to
be placed upon the market at a price,
for which a generous government is to
be called upon to pay as long as the
country shall stand? Reading letters
from Coffee Cooler" ''Ex-Coffee Cool
er." "Ex-Soldier," and few others
makes some Of US soldiers wonder II
there were any men who went to war
in this country for real patriotic motives
and real honest love of country or did
they go out merely for the selfish mo-
tive that some day it would get them
something.
I admit all the suffering and the hard
ships of both wars but do not admit
the right of any soldier In any war to
demand or to expect any more from this
government than any other man merely
because he was a soldier-unless he was
injured in line Of duty. To me the
honor Of being a soldier is all sufficient
payment for all I suffered and have
pect any payment for doing what con-
sidered only my duty.
Come on, you fellows, both old and
young. who have worn Uncle Sans Blue
and kahki with honor and pride. let us
with heels together-shoulders erect
and let the Joy and pleasure in the rare
privilege of that bronze button in our
lapels be all the honor We need-either
physical or financial.
Don't let us be forever trying to sell
our patriotism and love of our glorious
country over the bargain counter OF
pensions.

BEWILDERED BY RESULT
OF GAINS WIFE" INFERENCE

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
AS your editorial in The Times of
January 15, on the Shakespeare-Bacon
never-say-die authorship controversy
proposes four other good subjects for
unquestionable solving, submit an
opinion. or course. as there is SO much
tragedy and humor I'm discovering

| will settle that evasive subject with q
new. carefully pondered-over reply,
which is this: Being daughter Of Eve

leads to thoughts along this line about
the moral standards Of the Caucasian
and his God. When we consider that
marriage of brother and sister: that the
second genesis Of people was accom-
plished by Noah and his immediate
family: that the making Of q distinct
tribe and nation was begun through the
marriage Of half-brother and sister
Abraham and his wife, we are bewilder-
ed at the making and blessing of such
happenings by an exemplary God OF
righteousnessi It Is A. q matter liter. OF en-
tributing editor now occupied with his
Evolved Caucasian will enlighten the
public by evolving the moral status in
this regard Of the Caucasian's God from
creation to our days.

A DAY OF RECKONING
COMING FOR PLUTOCRACY

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Surely life Is fast reaching a point
where 1t may quite naturally be con-
sidered one huge joke--to some peo-
Pile.
Among these, at this time, Is one
Andrew Carnegie who Is playing the
leading role in the "Master of Fin
ance" before the Stanley committee,
rogaling the members thereof and the
audience assembled with his cheap
witicisms. Verify. 1t is an event which
undoubtedly makes the angels in
heaven weep. and calls for the mantle
or charity on the part of the Ameri-
can people.
The question under consideration by
this committee Is of the highest i'm
portance to the welfare of our coun-
try, one upon the outcome Of which
depends the veal or woe, not only of
born. but about the only thing Of in
terest which has been developed from
this master mind. SO far. is the ex-
pressed regret that he was satisfied
erty, in the upbuildinG of which there
was expended the blood and sinew of
thousands of his fellow citizens, and
out of which they received, COM
paratively speaking, but a mere pit
For q correct estimate Of Andys
career, one should circulate among
the rank and file OF the workingmen

cially among those who were with

he points with such great pride. The
list of those who Were crippled and
MANNED for life in the development OF
this great industry. as we'll as those

| altar Of mammon would also prove
Interesting; to say nothing Of the

too, which the spending Of his many
millions in the erection of libraries
with his name chiseled upon the lin,

watch the course of human events.
1t is the same old riddle of the ages

RECENT WORK AT NATIONAL MUSEUM.

The National Museum is one Of the institutions
of which Washington is distinctly proud 1t is lib
eral education in itself. Since it was thrown open
on Sundays, earlier in the winter, thousands Of
people who previously had been unable to take ad-
vantage of its treasures, have hocked there, while
throughout the week the attendance is large.
In the department of ornithology the birds of the
District Of Columbia have recently been arranged
lin section to themselves. Thus at a glance of the
eye is able famarize ones self not only with
all the more common birds, but with many rare
specimens Among these, for example, are four
specimens of the wood pigeons which once
found in this country by millions. The older descrip-
tive writer's and travellers have told how these pigeons
literally darkened the sky. They have now been
killed off until they so rare that they are curl
osities.
Another interesting arrangement now going for
ward at the National Museum is the placing of the
primates in the order of their evolutionary
sion. Without broaching any of the vexed questions
of Darwinsm it. is sufficient to say that it is at
least along branch collateral to these animals that
the human has reached its present stage of de-
velopment. To view them in their scientific and
authoritative arrangement cannot fail to be highly
instructive.
These are but two instances, taken almost at
random, showing the good work which is going on at
the National Museum all the time. The authorities
in charge of it entitled to the gratitude of the
people and their work is duly appreciated.

MANY WANT TO MARRY
BUT CAN'T AFFORD 1T

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
wish to comment on Mrs. Kinnear's g
recent writings in The Evening Times,
and I want to make It plain at the
outstart thatI am only speaking from
a financial point Of view.
Mrs. Kinnear, no doubt, has wonder
full Ideas regarding the club. whereby
young people can meet. who are stran-
gers, and enjoy each others society.
will say that l am heartily in favor OF
such club. 1t has been q success in
other cities and it should be a success
here in Washington. 1t no doubt would
do heaps of good in a fiuctuating city
as this. and where there are also many
new neople coming in to stay. who are
total strangers, and who also have a
lively time trying to form an acquaint.
anceship. But heartily believe, not
withstanding Mrs. Kinnear's recent ar.
ticle. that the ultimate results of such
a club would be matrimony. and there
man would balk-not his sentiments
however. but financially.
Let us go deeper into this subject
1t Is mans natural environment to want
of yesterday. But how can he do IT.
II you will take the trouble to quiz
your friends. dear reader, who are
clerks, You will find out why I say
1nnanc1ally.' The clerks In the com
mercial houses Of Washington and Other
cities are compelled to work for from
SO to SIC a week, and II a young mar
in these days thinks he can pull through
with a whole skin, know many reader,
of this paper would like to know the
solution.
II one wants to go into this further
he may only ask what does 1t eventually
lead to? Race suicide, self-destructiof
and future race of weaklings, which
doubtless many are able to see now
by comparing without prejudice the
men of today and the men Of yesterday
Now, II Mrs. Kinnear will add hel
brilliant ideas, combined with her re
ligious work. and couple them to tn,
betterment Of social conditions, and no
wait for matters to adjust themselves
of which too much waiting has already
been done, we would probably add an
other worker to the many who are
striving to accomplish the welfare Of the
many, and not the few who rule thu
earth today.
In conclusion, will say that II every
man and woman would put their shoul
ders to the wheel, and give II an al
mighty push, We would not need matri
mony clubs, agencies, etc, but we woult
have the reverse, more marriages, hap
pier social conditions, woman suffrage
and, generally speaking, world o.
the kind that the Almighty intended Il
to be. II. ]. THALDEN.

STILL AFTER DIR. WILEYs SCALP.

The report of the Moss committee in the House
on the Dr. Wiley charges, which is due to be SUBJ
mitted to the House, will be scanned with close at
tention. 1t will be scanned with reference to the
question whether the committee has made real
effort to get the rootof the obstacles in the way Of
enforcement of the pure food law or whether it is
merely seeking to gloss the situation over and while
freeing DR.. Wiley from blame, give comfort to his
enemies by refrainng from any recommendations
calculated to put the administration of the pure food
and drugs act on basis where the dopers Of food
and drink will be unable to interfere with its effec-
tiveness.
Certain things will be demanded of the Moss
committee by the public with respect to this matter.
One Of them will be recommendation for the abo-
lition of the Remsen board Another will be a
recommendation that Solicitor McCabe be put in
position where he cannot obstruct the workings Of
the pure food law it is interpreted by DR.. Wiley
and the men who, like Wiley, believe the pure food
and drugs act should be so enforced as to give the
public the utmost benefit possible under that statute.
If reports be correct, there have been efforts
made to make the report as mild and lukewarm as
possible; to give little comfort to Wiley and his
friends and as much reinsurance to the interests op
posed to Wiley as possible.
As matter of fact, Chairman Moss, of the COM
mttee, can offer no good reason for delaying the
report to this time. The committee had the material
at hand that it could easily have made its report
at the close of last session.
The matter is that has an importance that
far transcends the personal fortunes of DR.. Wiley
anyone else concerned. 1t is of vital import to the
public Already, the public has made it clear where
it stands this subject. 1t wants the law enforced
strictly and it will hold those guilty of paltering to
account.
This means that it is up to the House leaders to
see to it that the House is not put in wrong light
with respect to pure food law enforcement. If the
report of the Moss committee is not adequate, the
House, it is to be hoped will not permit itself to 60
record as indorsing unsatisfactory report That
body should 60 on record in unmstakable terms in
favor of just food law enforcement, such admins
traton of the law will protect the public from the
dopers and adulterators of food and drugs, and as
determined not to tolerate officials who either SYM
pathize with the non-enforcement of the law are
bent on resolving all doubts that arise in favor of the
manufacturers Of questionable concoctons
