yesterday. It Is assumed that he Is con-

CHARGES REPUBLICANS
|. AS BEING INCONSISTENT
George w. Perkins Says They
Have Stolen the Trust
Plank of the Democrats.

NEW YORK, January 6.-An attack
on the republican party for it's alleged
failure to carry out the first plank of its
instead, he claimed. the democratic trust
plank, which the American people re-
pudiated," was a feature of an address
by George w. Perkins. director Of the
United States Steel Corporation and
other big interests. at IL luncheon OF the
Republican Club today.
Referring to the Sherman law and the
attitude Of the two parties toward the
trust question as expressed in their 1905
platforms, Mr.. Perkins said:
What did the legislative branch do
to carry out it's belief on the trust
questions as explained to the people
in it's party platform? II did nothing.
1t left the question just where 1t has
been for fifteen or twenty years: left
the Supreme Court no choice but to
interpret the law as it stood. and left
the business Of the country in an en-
barrassing situation. In place Of pro-
viding the suitable publicity. super
vision for which the republican party
pronounced and which the people of
this country indorsed by q plurality
OF over a million and quarter votes,
nothing, absolutely nothing at all. was
done.
I'VE arc now witnessing the spectacle
of the republican party not only falling
to carry out the first plank of its own
platform, but actually vigorously carry
ing out the trust plank Of the democratic
platform, which 1t SO strenuously at
tackled and which the American people
repudiated."
Mr.. Perkins said that the party which
stood for constructive legislation could
have the support of the people next fall
He branded IL as crime to use as q
pawn In the next presidential election

Two Lads ''Hike" Distance of
116 Miles Since Decem-
Der 80.

! With the thermometer lowering around
Zero and in the face of n near gale, a
hike" of 11G miles might prove dis
comforting to some persons, but to two
sturdy Boy Scouts who have just COM
pleted a walk to Washington from Rich
mond. Va, 1t was nothing more than a
lark.
Boardman Getsinger, fourteen years old
of this city, and Valville ST. Sutton
seventeen years old, Of Richmond, Va,
are the boys. and they arrived in Wash
ington at 1:3O o'clock yesterday morn
ing from Alexandria In buoyant spirits
but with their toes and fingers nipped
by the freezing weather. Both are active
members of the Y. M. C. A. and en-
thusiastic Boy Scouts.
Gives Native a Shock.
Boardman astonished pedestrians, who
were stamping their nearly frozen feet
to get rid of the numbness by blithely
walking up Pennsylvania avenue, one
shoe on and one off, carelessly swinging
his loose shoe in his hand by it's string
Several miles from Washington one OF
his shoes, worn to frazzle. dropped
off. but he pluckily proceeded with a
sock the only protection to his foot, and
brought his shoe with him as a me-
mento of the trip.
But the boys were right glad to get
to the Cumberland apartments, at Thom-
as Circle, where Boardman lives, and
where a steaming hot dinner awaited
them.
:. Trip Consumes a Week.
They left Richmond December 30, walk
ing by day only. and were just a week
in making the trip. 1t was pleasant
walking the first few days, they said,
but Thursday the wintry winds began
to blow. and Friday and Saturday, they
declare. were about the coolest days they
ever experienced.
= They set out with the intention OF TAX
ing their time and seeing everything as
they went along, and had novel expert
enoes seeking shelter in farmhouses
over night. They spent nights at Ash
land and Fredericksburg, and Friday
night at Alexandria, Va.
Early yesterday morning they set out
for Washington. despite the bowling
wind, and ended their walk fresh and
rosy checked. Their trip covered about
116 miles.

Only Sure Winner.

Col. Roosevelt is not only the logica
candidate for President at this time. bu,
he is the only one who is sure to win
He can carry the New England states
New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio. and
his majority throughout the middle west
and Pacific states would be overwhelm-
ing. He would not only carry the full
republican vote in Kansas If nominated
but he would receive q large share OF
progressive democratic votes.
PERSONALLY l am very fond of Senator
La Toilette and regard him as a great
constructionist statesman, but l have
not encouraged any general movement for
him in Kansas. I am fully convinced
that Col. Roosevelt Is the only man who
can be depended upon to win and thereby
save the country from four years of un-
certain political experiments, which may
involve the wreck and ruin Of those great
national policies associated with his
name.
ITO remove Senator La Toilette at this
time from the progressive leadership OF
the Senate would be to take a great fac
tor for good out of that body and weaken
the common cause in a vital place"

BOILED HAM AND SPINACH
Wholesome Dish That Is Convenient
for the Busy Days Of
Summer.

This may be prepared with fresh
ham or smoked, and it is a simple
enough matter to get the spinach
ready the day before, keeping it fresh
in a large tin pan placed on the cellar
floor.
Take the knuckle end of the ham
and clean it thoroughly-that is, the
smoked ham-and then put it on in
enough boiling water to cover it. Add
the spinach one hour before serving;
when it is tender the dish is ready. To
many persons spinach is more de-
licious if left unchopped. 1t is a little
more substantial served in this man
ner and the method is convenient for
busy days. Only black or cayenne pep
per is needed for this dish unless
the ham is fresh or not sufficiently salt
to season the greens.

The old way Of serving a Goldfish din.
her was to cook a whole fish. The
fish must be cod. and not some of the
other white fish 81 often palmed OF as
cod. but which are not as good. Soak
q part Of a Goldfish in cold water over
night, then put in a fish kettle, or in
a pan. set owe a kettle of boiling wa
ter. and cook very slowly for several
hours. II it cooks fast at a high tenn.
perature it will be hard and tasteless,
but If cooked at a low temperature 1t
will become gelatinous and digestible.
Place the fish or a hot platter and
sprinkle over it some pork scraps
made by frying slices of pork cut into
dice until crisp. Garnish the edge
with slices of red boiled beet and
straws Of boiled carrot. Serve with an
egg sauce. Cook two eggs in boil.
Ing water Is minutes. Make a sauce
from three level tablespoons of but.

rubbed together and added to one cup
of scaldfhg hot milk. Cook five min.
