When Uncle Sam Has Money tc
Burn.

The city of Washington is
shooting ahead at a remarkable
pace, and within a radius of a
half dozen blocks there are 1000
office rooms, half of which have
been provided in the new build
ings constructed within the last
two years. These rooms are oc-
cupied by private business con-
Germs and are prima facie evil
dence that the capital city is
growing. The United States gov
ernment now controls, or owns,
fifty-four per cent of the area
of the city which is used in beau
tiful parks, streets, public build
ings, etc. On Capitol Hill there
is mania for acquiring addition
al land, and private owners of real
estate have in consequences made
immense fortunes in the District
Of Columbia property. Very re-
Gently the senate passed a bill
providing for an appropriation Of
81, 100000 to build an armory for
the district militia. Armories are
fine things, but Congressman
Byrns, of Tennessee. declared on
the floor Of the house that upon
investigation, the only argument
which he has been able to find
in favor of this great expendi-
ture of public money was the fact
that this armory might be used
for the inaugural ball once every
four years. Another public mea-
sure seeks to appropriate be-
tween five and seven million dol
lars for the purchase of piece
of land lying between the capi-
tol grounds and the Union Sta
ton, for the purpose Of increasing
the extent of the capitol park.
OF course $7,0O0,000 would build
40 public buildings in the coun-
try at an average of $4,000 each.
A proposition to expend the
money III this manner would be
looked upor lis e>:favagant, but
For a Washingtr" "a, x that is
another thing. Strange as it may
seem with all the vast improve
ments in government property,
the United States is now paying
100000 a year in rents to pri-
vate owners Of property in the
city of Washington. The reason
is sail to be that there is nc
money in the treasury to put uk
the necessary public buildings
Congress has millions for the
wastefulness Of the army anc
navy, for luxurious quarters for
officers, and for the maintenance
Of an air Of magnificence and
grandeur on shipboard, and in
army headquarters condition
little short of autocracy. With
a lavish hand Uncle Sam supplies
every demand Of it's high-priced
officials, buys extensive grounds
for parks, and purchases tons of
powder which is fired senselessly
In strange contrast there are
thousands of government en-
ployees in Washington who have
spent the best years Of their lives
in the government service, an(
are receiving today less compen-
sation than that paid in ordinary
business channels

characteristics of some great
men are particularly interesting
j. Pierpont Morgan, for instance,
seldom comes to Washington, but
when he does his habit for a
quarter of a century has been to
stop at the Arlington hotel. At
the time it was proposed to in
tcrest Mr.. Morgan in PROPOSE
tion to tear down the old struc
ture and to erect one of the most
magnificent hotels in the coun-
try on it's site, the great finan-
cier took big block of the hotel
stock upon the stipulation that
the rooms reserved for him in the
new hotel should be arranged in
exact duplicate and furnished in
the same manner as the suite
which has been at his disposal
in the old Arlington for many
years. 1t is said that Senator
Penrose, who always stops at the
New Willard, pays $50 day for
his rooms, and that the senator
frequently proclaims that any
one who pays such fancy prices
is privileged to use or abuse the
furniture and surroundings as
he sees fit, and that he acts ac--
cordingly. The senator is known
to be very rich man. and as a
bachelor has formed some pecnl-
lar habits, one of which is said
to be that he frequently stores
half smoked butts of cigars in
his trouser pockets, where they
are kept handy for use.

RULE OR RUIN.

The best evidence in, support of an
affirmative answer to the above ques-
ton is contained in an account Of the
recent Republican convention at
Huntington, written by Judge Smith,
of the Parkersburg Dispatch-News. 1t
was at that convention that the Taft
Machine ran counter to another and
gregation. The former were made to
swallow a good sized dose of their
own medicine. They were paid off in
their own coin They were dealt with
as they have been wont to deal with
others. And consequently, at the
aforesaid Huntington convention, the
adIherents of the Taft Machine found
that they cut no more of figure
than did the flies upon the wall.
They were in far worse condition
than was ever the proverbial poor
boy at a frolic.
1t was a case of boss against boss
at that convention and the Taft Ma
chine end of the Republican party
had no show against the majority
of the other wing OF the Machine
controlled by Roosevelt people, head
ed by Dawson: 1t was a complete ex-
hibition of rule or ruin, as is always
the case with the Republican Machine
of this State. 1t is only by such di-
visions that the people will get their
rights eventually.

Congress apparently settled down
to the conviction that no adjourn
ment can take place earlier than-Au-
gust first. Plans for cooling the
chambers of the Senate and House
are therefore being made in order to
protect as much as possible from the
rigors of the heated period the states
men who must remain in Washington
at time when ordinarily they would
be seeking cool mountain resorts and
the national Fairgrounds by the sea.
Great exhaust fans are being INSTALL
ed which will exhause the heated air
from the chambers, 1t is said, every
seven minutes, replacing it by air
from the outside that has been con-
Quoted through vaults stored with
tons of ice. The plan is supposed to
furnish fresh cool air to the laboring
representatives and senator's of the
people. Such measures are necessa-
ry, for the reason that both the
House and Senate chambers are en-
tirely shut off by outside rooms from
any immediate access to the outdoor
air. Surmounted as they are by
glass skylights on which the sun
beats with all its power, these rooms
would be unbearable il some such
means were not resorted to to make
them more comfortable.

ATLAS BUILDING AND
LOAN ASSOCIATION.

The records Of the Probate Court
of New York show that Of 10000
persons above the age of rs dying
last year, only, 1851 left any estate
whatever, and only S84 were worth
$4,000. 90.
Sc per cent. Of them left no estate
whatever.
rs per cent. left estates which av-
eraged $1,292.00.
9 per cent. left estates of over
$5,OOO.00.
This is rather a sad commentary
$500 out of the 10000 died without
having accumulated anything for
their families, without building or
buying home, without having laid
up any money for a possible day of
privation or want.
Bring the matter home to yourself,
take an inventory of your situation,
and then make your decision. If
you are in the sc per cent class,
pause! There is absolutely no rea-
son why you should remain there.
See HARRY WILLIAMS, Secretary
of the Atlas Buildin- and Loan AS

method of saving your money that

place you in the per cent. class,

gate the plan of the atlas Building

The political -rexelutioH that has
struck the Connecticut town of Maui
gatuck began when Socialist was
elected warden What has happened
since then is best told by the Hart
ford Times, which abhors Socialism,
but knows a real good thing in prac-
tice when it sees it:
In making his borough appoint
ments the new Socialist warden of
Naugatuck has not been bound by
party restrictions. His superinfend-
ent of streets is Republican, who
has held the position before. His
borough attorney is Democrat, as
is also one of the two members of his
board Of charities. His selections
show that, as far as he has gone, the
new warden is living up to his ex-
pressed intention of securing efficien-
cy, wherever it may be found.
That is what American cities and
towns are suffering for efficiency;
and efficiency spells efficiency, even If
a Socialist official makes it possible.

The Shifting Renegade.

Our Renegade contingent, the boss
element of them we mean, are great
floppers. When they found a chance
to steal the. county from the Demo-
Gratis, they Topped to the Republicans
and stole their organization. In 1908
they Topped from ScheT to Swisher
over night because it looked like the
State organization was going to
steam rollor Swisher's nomination
through Then they Topped to Glass
cock. Early in this campaign they
were in favor of Roosevelt, but when
they got to the dollar dinner at
Wheeling, and found everybody there
for Taft they renegaded to the Taft
forces. They were not shrewd
enough to catch on that the dinner
was gotten up in Taft's interest,
They we're such ardent Taft adher-
ents that they did not want to hear
the name of Roosevelt mentioned.
They studiously put their henchmen
to work, kept away from Governor
Glasscock's meetings here and did
the same thing when Hubbard came
in the interest of Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt Club.
But the last and most glazing Rem
egade move of them all was made
when they started out to get Taft
delegation from this county They
made personal appeal to the ne
groes and brought out their bench
men to round up a gang and by bull
doing and force managed to control
the county primaries, but even then
were afraid to instruct and finding
Roosevelt sentiment so overwhelm-
ing they go to Huntington, and as we
predicted, climbed on the Roosevelt
band wagon, and are now claiming to
be original Roosevelt supporters.
Where i'm the name of Thomas
Jefferson and Abe Lincoln, will the
Renegades go next?
Look out when the whole country
goes Democratic this fall, these
same Renegades and political graft
ers and their entire hangers on, will
be appealing to the people, to save
chem from the clutches of just re-
tribution They are condemned be-
fore the people and their days of
boss rule and political graft area at
an end.

Outlaws Still in the Mountains.

There has been much speculation
as to the whereabouts of Sidna Allen
and Wesley Edwards, the two Vir-
ginia outlaws still at large, ard
there is difference of opinion as. tc
whether they are still in the noun
tains or have left the country but the
story comes here to the effect that
they are still in the ountains and
have never left there.
That DR. Thos. Ashby, of this city,
saw Allen ten days ago is corrobo-
rated by story told by a woman,
who is a near relative of the Allen
family, and she says that Sidna has
spent more nights at his own home,
since the shooting than away from
home She tells how he stays around
home keeping sharp lookout for
suspicious characters or searchers
and when they put in their appear
ance he disappears in the woods and
back into the mountains.
She says that he is a physical and
nervous wreck and ooks little like
his former self for he is truly broken
in spirit and looks more like a hunt
ed criminal than human being.
Evidently he and Edwards have new
er left this section and will remain
here until apprehended or killed -
