GETTING DOWN TO BRASS TACKS.

Senator Joseph M. Dixon, who handled Colonel
Roosevelts primary campaign for the Republican
nomination for President said in New York yester-
day that he expected to testify in Washington before
the committee investigating political expenditures.
The New York Times quotes him saying:
I'll have something to say when get on the stand I
ready open all the books and show just what
spent in the last primary campaign and what is being
spent now. handled every dollar that spent and
It didn't exceed 100000.
Possibly those persons who have insisted that
only lavish expenditure of money gave Colonel
Roosevelt victory in that primary may have sur
prise in store for them
They have shouted from the housetops that mil
lions were poured out They have looked forward
with gee to an examination of the books and
grueling of Colonel Roosevelt's campaign managers.

talk approximates the truth

THE GREAT HEALTH CONGRESS.

For the first time since its organization the world S
congress hygiene and demography is meeting in
the United States. The sessions will open in Wash
in ston tomorrow, and the extent of local interest in
them will be taken as the measure of American ap-
probation of perhaps the greatest practical work
now being carried for the general benefit of
humanity. The great exhibit that has been prepared
in connection with the congress is intended to give
graphic illustration of the possibilities of this cru
sade, to popularize it, and to bring it home to the
understanding of people who cannot deal with it in
technical terms. Washington people have demon
strated keen interest in the exhibit but many thouS-
ands more of them ought to visit it,
Our recently reorganized Public Health
Service is of the biggest and most efficient ma
tonal machines for promoting the sort of work which
this congress represents. No country has been more
generous in its provision for carrying on such actv-
tiles. The Germans have surpassed u.s. doubtless, in
purely scientific Developments and Germany has
reaped a larger tangible benefit from the growth of
knowledge than any other country. But the United
States has none the less been we'll toward the head
of the procession in practical application of sanitary
knowledge. There are more bath tubs in these
United States than in any other country on earth
But the problems of popular sanitation are YET
many and pressing Especially is this true of the
rural districts. Carrying modern sanitary science to
these, is particularly difficult task in the United
States because rural population is so scattered
it becomes question of making every rural home q
sanitary unit by itself Regulations that can be i'm
posed on large numbers of people when gathered
together in the limited areas of cities are much
difficult of application in the country because
! of this diffusion Of the population

AT THE RING OF THE BELL.

Tomorrow morning about one-sixth of the popu-
laton of Washington will change its vocation Just
think what revolution this means what tremen-
dous sensation it would make if any of the other
sixths should on fixed day lay down its old occupa-
tions and plunge deliberately into something new;
if all the professional men, the doctors, lawyers,
dentists should take to the dinner pail; the polti-
clans, political hangers-on, and oficeholders turn
preachers! What an upset there would be among us
groWn-upS and what a constant confusion would re-
suit if some such change as this to come regu-
larly, twice year.
From all of which it might be argued that, as
the sudden departure of 5000 of our younger ele-
ment for school tomorrow will cause no such dis
arrangement of the cys business life, children don't
amount to much, at least do not form inlu-
entail factor in the community
But they do. Probably no other sixth of the
population could actually make the effect of its
change in vocation felt in half many homes as will
this same rehabilitation of the boys and girls into
serious creatures
How many mothers will henceforth have more
time to give to their babies? How many will have
to give more time to the babies now that their oldests
- are no longer available to watch them? How many
will miss the companonShip of their children during
the morning hours; how many breathe a sigh of re-
lief that the perfect little nusances are out of the
way at last?
How many father will be forced to forego his
habtual devouring of tine evening paper to puzzle
out in pretended aid the arthmetical problems he
has so long forgotten how to solve; how many will
find newborn pride in the conscientiousness with
which his boy buckles to the morrows lesson or
find cause for anxiety because the boy won't study
enough or is studying too much.
Revolution? The youth who will lie awake to-
night plotting it or in rebellion because they are

INSURANCE SCANDAL
WILL Be RECALLED
IN CAMPAIGN PROBE
Armstrong Investigation Re-
ports May Serve Clapp
Committee as Text Book.

The reports Of the Armstrong insur-
ance investigation In New York eight
years ago may serve as a text book for
a part of the inquiry to be undertaken
September 80 by the Senate Campaign
Contributions Investigation Committee.
This Is indicated by the intimation that
several prominent insurance officials
will be called before that committee
following the appearance Of John H.
Mccall, of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, on whom Col. D. M.
Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms of the Sen
ate. obtained duces tecum service in
New York Friday.
Mccall was one Of the prominent fig-
ures In the Armstrong investigation.
The limelight was alternately turned on
him, James Hazen Hyde, who after
ward went to Paris, and Richard A.
McCurdy, now dead.
Campaign contributions were not the
focus Of public attention at that time TO
the degree which they are now, but
II was shown that funds technically be-
longing to policyholders had been used
with free hand by insurance officials
TO aid In putting over certain candidates
and swelling certain campaign funds.
.. Testimony Is Available.
The subject was exhausted. Many
Of the details have heen forgotten.
But all the testimony is still avail
able in the reports of those hearings
and may be employed to refresh the
memories of the Senators constituting
the committee of inquiry when, some
time after September 80, John II. Nc
Call and other insurance moguls ap-
pear before the committee.
The list of tentative witnesses in
| cresses day by day. Senator Clapp
has seventy five or more names Of psr-
| sons who may be called to tell what
they know about political campaign
contributions since 1890
Seek Ammunition.
In connection with some of these
! names, many letters have been sent out

Fifty years ago today Abraham Lincoln signed the
preliminary Emancipation Proclamation which defined
the liberty of the negro slaves in this country.
But before they could be free in reality a bloody
war had to be fought to its remorseless close The
flower of the Nation, North and South had to be
sacrificed that the great ideal of liberty should hold
in continuing union the States of the Confederacy
with those of the North.
And now, fifty years after that great sacrifice, we
face another crisis in the Nations history as serious
as that of the secession. Slavery in other forms
still exists and the Nation must again determine
whether government of the people, by the people,
and for the people shall perish from the EARTH

WHO GETS THE DIFFERENCE?

How much do you pay for coal-hard coal?
According to the report of commission of ex-
pert investigators, which got its data in the Penn
sylvana hard coal fields, it costs the mine operators
$l.l0 to $l30 ton to put the coal on the cars at
the mines This includes wages of the miners, cost
of taking coal from the mines and loading it cars,
royalty to owners of the colleries, cost Of superin-
tendence, and allows the operators per cent profit
on this cost Of production.
The difference between this Sll0 to Sl30 and
what you pay goes to the transportation companies
and the coal dealers The transportation companies
are the railroads which operate the Mines In many
cases the dealers companies subsidiary to the rail-
roads and owned by the railroads.
Does this little illustration appeal to you as an
argument in favor Of "dissoving railroad corpora
tions or of establishing system of Government
regulation of corporations SO that prosperity may be
passed around?

Army Tests Passed
By Wright Biplane

The baby Wright biplane at College
Park. Md, for its Official Government
tests, passed two OF the most rigid re-
quirements of the army yesterday af-
ternoon, when William Kabitzke. an
aviator from thn Wright Company.
kept the little machine in the air two
hours, and also made an average OF
sixty-six miles an hour on us speed
required Of II. Several hundred per
sons saw the flights.
More than 500 persons were disap-
pointed at the War College yesterday
afternoon when the army aviators
failed to make some hydro-aeroplane
flights on the Potomac river. The two
machines that have been in use there,
were not in commission for flying.
Capt. Frederick b. Hennessy, in charge
of that station OF the army aviation
school, hopes to have both of the ma
chimes in shape for flying by tomorrow
