POLITICAL SORE THROATs.

There is many case of inflamed larynx and sore
style and palate muscles in the Democratic party
this morning. The first is affection peculiar to
the delegates who strained their voices in yelling for
this or that favored seemingly favored son Of
Democracy. The second complaint results from in
effectual attempts by some of the party leaders to
swallow the finally successful candidate. "Marse'
Henrys is perhaps the worst, for his tempera-
ture is the highest. We recommend rind of pork
thicky peppered bound about the affected parts and
covered with wooen stocking.
In our anxiety for this most eminent sufferer we
are willing to completely wreck favorite pair of

THREE HUNDREDW|LL
DEFEND ACTION TO
SETTLE LAND TITLE
Government Begins Suit to
Clear Clouds From
River Property.

The first Of the suits to establish be-
yond all doubt the title of the United
States to lands on the Potomac, the
Eastern Branch, and Rock Creek was
filed by Attorney General Wickersham
through the office of United States Dis
trict Attorney Wilson in the District
Supreme Court today.
BY this proceeding the Government
hopes to sweep aside the numerous
private claims of title which have held
UP such large permanent projects as the
improvement of the Anacostia fats and
the construction of the branch railroad
track to the navy yard.
The suit filed today affects lands along
the Anacostia river, between the Navy
Yard wall and the Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge.
aes Defendants Named.
There is the unusually large number
OF 29S defendants named in the bill, be-
sides a large number of unknown de-
fendants, It being the purpose to bring
before the court all the so-called dor
mant" claims affecting this portion of
the Anacostia shore within the original
city of Washington.
The bill followed the decision Of the
STATES supreme COuTt III Tie
Potomac fats case, affirming the owner
ship by the nation of Water street,
bounding the city, and of the appur-
tenant rights on the river side of the
street.
Denial is made that the United States
has ever conveyed any rights In or
adjacent to Water street on the river
side, and the United States prays that
Its title may be declared by the court
to be absolute and paramount.
Heirs In England.
The choice of the location for the
first Of the series of suits to be brought
was directed by the fact that two con.
siderable public improvements have beer
authorized In this locality, which ar,
obstructed by claims Of title adverse t.
the United States. These are the prog
ects already referred to. the Anacos -
river Improvement and the constructioi
! of the Navy Yard branch.
The claims of title of the heirs OF
William Young, sr. and of George
Walker are involved: The Walkel
and Australia. While many Of th'
Young heirs are resident in the Dis
trict and in adjacent parts of Vir

WHY NOT ACT NOW?

"The Republican party will support a prompt
scientific inquiry into the causes which are
operative, both in the United States and else
where, to increase the cost Of living. When the
exact facts known it will take the neces-
sary steps to remove any abuse that may be
found to exist '."-The Republican Plat

while the price of meat is higher than for genera
ton the Beef trust is exporting large quantities Of
fresh meat and live cattle to Europe and selling it
there in competition with the cheap meat from the
vast cattle growing countries of South America
If the Republican party-and the Democratic
party, too-would show their sincerity in promising
tv do their utmost to relieve the high cost Of living,
they have enough exact facts at hand now to justify
their removing sufficient of the tariff from cattle to
give the consumer in this country an equal chance
with the consumer of Europe. And surely there can
be denying that it requires no scientific inquiry
to find the existence of the evil of high prices on

1t was the Sabbath and also the an

And for the first time in years the
count" as he is Familiarity known,
failed to observe the day The counts
celebrations have been notable events
In Washington for years, but the
count let the day pass quietly because
1t fell on Sunday.
Everything about the Chateau de
Perreard was normal, except that
from a window breezed the tricolor
Of La Belle France.
Stilled were the clinking glasses,
because 1t was the Sabbath day. The
hearty chanting of THE Marseilles,"
rs only the count could chant 1t, was
not waited out into Thirteenth street
from the chateau windows as in the
past
In fanciful retrospection the count
recalled the celebrations of yester.
year and his friends missed them.

down the river as his guests and
now he used to chant the cabaret
songs OF dear old Paris. And all re-
membered how the count used to say,
when asked how he would celebrate
the independence day Of France:
oh, eet will be re grande time"
The continental Sunday has about
as much chance in Washington as
the count would have had In the

The count could not have a public
party, and SO he had none. 1t was a
bad day for France.
And the count was very. very sad.

Turkey Trot New? Danced 500 Years in Borneo

IT WILL be news to many doubtless
l that the much-criticised turkey
trot" has been danced to the rain god
Of savage tribe in the north of Bor.
neo for more than five hundred years.
Several young women of one of Wash
ngton's exclusive circles were as.
founded when Prof. Edward David
son, Washington dancing master,
made this statement to them during
lecture on the history of dancing.
Professor Davidson said that the
'trot" Is one of the holy of holies
In the religion Of the savage Muruts.
When there comes a prolonged dry
spell these head-hunting natives per-
lorm the trot day in and day out until
The great rain god has heard their
prayers. The professor visited the
north Of the island several years ago.
During the latter part of the
eighteenth century the turkey trot
was introduced into the dancing
schools of Italy and Portugal, and
soon everybody was doing 1t. In the
drst part Of the nineteenth century

Scientists Believe There Is a Reason for Bugs

lieve there is a reason for bedbugs
and If they manage to substantiate
this theory they intend to put them
to work at more gratuitous task
than that upon which they are gener-
ally engaged
There is theory that most self
respecting species of bugs will have
no dealings with bedbugs-in fact.
they will not live in the same neigh
borhood.
This theory is based upon two as
sumptions. The first is that bedbugs
are scrappers and beat up and kill
anything else that happens to cross
their way in bugdom.
Now the department Of agriculture's
scientists have about decided which
bugs do the most damage to fruit
trees. These experiments have been
carried on at the Lewis farms for
many months. The most deadly bugs,
as far as fruit is concerned, have been
segregated in boxes and bottles.
The bedbugs are to be introduced
to these select fruit killers and then
the scientists are going to see what
happens.
If the bedbugs carry off the hon.
ors Uncle Sam may try to induce
them to leave their present abodes for
fruit orchards.

Department an Aid to Housewives

said:
Commercial Industries were long
ago studied by scientific methods,
since 1t was found that gaining knowl.
edge by experience was much more
costly than gaining 1t by systematic
study. 1t is only lately that we have
come to realize that 1t is equally
profitable to study the housekeepers'
problems.
Fifty years ago few such uues-
uons had been taken to the labora-
tory and few schools gave instruction
In such subjects. Today very many
men and women of scientific training
have taken the home problem to the
laboratory and are finding ways Of
helping the housekeeper to solve her
problems satisfactorily.
THE department of agriculture has
studied many questions which relate
to the use Of agricultural products ON
the farm and in the home. but per.
haps none of them has a closer re-
lation to the household than the nu-

FAMOUS MAN WHOSE PUBLIC CAREER ENDS

present, at least, Of the political ca
reers of many notable men-men who
have contributed much to the pages of
history of the nation and who have
achieved fame by the conspicuous
parts they have played in the enact.
ment of legislation, and their contri.

Probably the most notable, without
disparagement to the fame of others,
is Joseph w. Bailey Of Texas. Sena.
tor Bailey has been in congress for
over twenty years. being first elected
to the Fifty-second congress and at
the age of twenty-six. He Immediate
