ouR WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER

| Senator Kenyon's bill to rid the
National Capital of vice and immortality
is being urged strenoously by social
betterment organizations throughout
the country. Washington City should
be model in beauty, cleanliness and
virtue.
The defense Of Judge Archibald in the
| impeachment charges against him in
the Senate is well under way. 1t is
probable that the case will not be con-
cluded until after the holiday recess
of Congress. Judges, lawyers, and bust
ness men from Pennsylvania, many of
them lifelong friends OF Judge Archibald,
have testified to his good character as
a citizen. and judge AS the trial is
interfering with other business, Senator
Sutherland urges that impeachment
trials hereafter be held before a com.
mittee of the Senate.
The dead letter sale of The Post Office
Department has been halted. 1t was
planned to follow the usual practice of
selling the packages without exposing
the contents. Doubts as to whether
this would be violation OF the federal
lottery and gambeling laws caused the
post office officials to decide to postpone
the sale.
According to Secretary Nagel, of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
the power Of any commission that may
be established to regulate the big bust
ness Of the country, should be well de-
fined and restricted He believes such a
commission should not have power to
fix prices.
The first bank notes bearing the sig
nature of the new treasurer of the Z. S.,
Carmi Thompson, formerly President
Taft's private secretary, will be issued
in a big bunch of one dollar bills about
Jan. 1, 1913. Mr.. Thompson intends to
keep the first two or three bills struck
off for souvenirs.
The celebration Of Christmas at the
White House has always been Of inter-
est to the nation President Taft and
his family will spend the approaching
holidays in Panama. Joy, su&6nW, lux
ury, and simplicity have all had their
turn in that historic house. Presidents
Lincoln and Roosevelt forgot troubles
of state as they romped with children,
while Presidents Fillmore, Pierce and
Buchanan sought solitude.
