Mr.. Taft's Stamping Tours.

Some Of the comment on the Presidents
stamping tours is exceedingly unfair.
One might gather from 1t that he entered
upon the tours eagerly, and is enjoying
his experience. The opposite is the truth.
He yielded his Judgment with reluctance,
and the conservatism with which he is
replying TO Mr.. Roosevelt's personalities
shows that he is not reveling in his OPP
portunity. Some of his friends are dis
appointed at his moderation.
AS matters stood. Mr.. Roosevelt was
inviting battle and Mr.. Taft appearing to
decline ii. The impression on the every
day man was prejudicial to Mr.. Taft
Cooped up in the White House, he could
not appraise things as speedily or as
accurately as his friends who were mix
ing In the crowds and hearing the talk
Of the street could, and were doing
Finally these friends brought the Presi-
dent around to their view. They had
weighed the question for and against
and with full appreciation of what the
President owed to his Office But they
decided that he also owed a good deal to
himself and his party. and that the debt
was not only large. but important. So
at their insistent instance, he formulated
a reply to his assailant, and began de-
livering it in person.
Sad" exclaim Mr. Tafts critics. ITO
see President of the United States in
dulging in such a controversy" Yes, but
what was the provocation? What other
President was ever faced with such a
situation? Chairman Dixon's letter to
Mr.. Taft on the subject Of the Kentucky
result was a most gross affront; and Mr..
Roosevelt followed that up with asser-
lions equally offensive about other mat
tiers.
Mr.. Taft's silence was misconstrued
both by his enemies and by some Of his
friends. The former increased their of
fensiveness. while the latter chafed under
Impotence.
The President might make the personal
note In his speeches good deal warm
er,S without stretching the facts or vio-
lating the proprieties. He is dealing with
an antagonist who Is both unsparing in
objurgation and reckless In statement.
Mr.. Roosevelt draws upon the prize ring

The Senate Pension Bill.

The Senate District committee dis
approves of the extraordinary bill
passed by the House the other day to
provide for the maintenance of the po-
lice and firemen's pension fund. order
ing a special tax upon the property
holders of the District for this purpose
conditioned on approval by the tax
payers at a referendum election. This
measure which the House adopted was
condemned so emphatically at once by
the citizens OF the District that the
Senate committees action may be re-
garded as in response to the protests
that have been voiced. 1t is gratifying
to find a bill so promptly reported in
generally satisfactory terms, for an
emergency exists that demands speedy
action by Congress. The beneficiaries
of the pension fund have for some time
been periodically deprived of the full
amount of their stipends. Consider
able suffering has been caused by the
failure of the fund. and 1t is deplor-
able that so much time has been lost
in working out a satisfactory solution
of the problem. The House bill was
lamentable failure to reach this end,
for il it were to become law and the
question were submitted to a vote of
the people IL WOulQ DC unQucStiOhoUly
rejected by heavy majority. notwith-
standing the fact that there is a uni
versal demand for some measure of
pension fund relief. The Senate bill
proposes combination fund. COM

men, from fines and fortfeitures in the
Police Court and. in case Of a deficit.
receipts from licenses other than
LIQUOR licenses. While this is inf
nitely better than a direct tax, it is
nevertheless not the ideal method of
financing a municipal pension fund.
The item should be included in the an
nual estimates and the fund voted
along with all other municipal ex
penses on the half-and-half basis of
division between District and federal
contributions The fund for this pur
pose should be regarded as part of the
regular cost of maintaining the Dis
trict government. as much as the sal
aries of the police and firemen them
selves But the District is not dis
posed to cavil in this emergency at
ways and means so long as practi-
cable measure of pension fund main
tenance is worked out and so gross a
violation Of the organic act as the
special tax proposed by the House bill
is avoided.

Ohio.

Quite like old times in Ohio. when the
state was on the pivotal list and both
sides fought for her with the utmost
strenuosity. Then Sherman and Thur
man. Bingham and Pendleton, GARFIELD
and Hurd. Mckinley and Campbell. For
aker and Converse, Foster and Ewing,
Larry Neal and Tom Young. and many
others. had 1t out on the stump and else
where in fine style.
An Ohio campaign attracted national
attention. The participants were men of
great ability and wide reputation. and
whatever the issue the pronouncements
upon IL were emphatic
II was there that greenbackism-which
was the forerunner of free siiverisnn-re-
ceived its first notable check. The year
was 1879. The republicans took the sound
end of the issue, and nominated Charles
Foster for governor, while the democrats,
taking the rag money end. put up Gen.
Tom Ewing. Foster won. and the next
year Garfield won for President largely
on the Identification Of the democracy
with unsound finance.

White Wolfe and Batiste Waists.

Designs noted for their summary beauty
and extreme good taste, giving an unmistakabe
expression to the newest and most advanced
style themes, some of which have never before
been on display.
The many different models now presented
furnish authoritative information regarding every
new fashion tendency and idea. Never were
there so many charming effects in the trimmings,
and so many artistic combinations in materials.
Irish crochet, cuny and valenciennes laces
are especially favored, but elegant hand embroid
cries, in designs of unusual beauty, also much
used. High or Dutch neck and 81 sleeves some
of them having lace-trimmed peplum-a particu-
larly fashionable style.

IT is to my mind a matter Of

dominant. One would suppose that

glory and renown for the college as

Il became irritable, easily angered
and respondent without cause. The

weak, with frequent attacks of palpi

after retiring. "
"Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas

suit. l got more satisfaction from It
than from anything I had eaten for
