could not be measured. The import
ance of the great victory which has
been achieved cannot be over estimat-

result in November or of the issues
which will arise between the repub-

will be time enough TO do that after

whatever may happen in November,
a great victory for the republican

A GREAT VICTORY
Republican Party Saved From
Effort to Make Instrument
of Reckless Ambition.
TO MOVE ON SANE LINES
No Matter Outcome of Election, Or

Established Principles.
~

Washington, June 24.-President
Taft Saturday night made the fol-
lowing statement:
a national convention of one of
the great parties is ordinarily i'm
pOrtant only as preliminary to a
national campaign for the election of
a president. The Chicago convention
just ended is much more than this
and is in itself the end of a pre-con-
vention campaign presenting a crisis
more threatening and issues more
important than those of the election
campaign, which is to follow between
the two great national parties. The
question here at stake was whether
the republican party was to change
its attitude as the chief conservator
in the nation of constitutional rep
resentative government and was to
weaken the constitutional guarantees
of life. liberty and property and all
other rights declared sacred in the
bin Offering the abandoning of the
principle of absolute independence of
the judiciary, essential to the main
tonance Of those rights.
TWO TERMS ENOUGH.
The campaign carried on to seize
, the republican party and make it the
/ instrument of reckless ambition and
/ the unsettling Of the fundamental
principles of our government was so
sudden and unexpected that time was
not given clearly to show to the PEG.

. confronted them. 1t was sought 10

EVOLUTION OF THE CAPITAL
Expenditure on All New Buildings Of
Hewn Granite Has Been Ungruds-
ineIy Lavish.

The authorization OF three new de-
partment buildings. designed to be
seen together and accordingly harmon
lied in their architecture, is the long
est single step thus far taken in the
evolution OF Virginian village into
city worthy to be the capital and show
place of the second in population and
the first in wealth of modern nations,
Zone excepts from the comparison,
for different but obvious reasons, the
British and the Chinese "Empires.")
He who visits Washington, says
writer in Scribners, now after ten
years, who has not seen 1t, say, since
just after the war with Spain, finds SO
great a transformation that he is fain
to take his bearings anew from the
ancient landmarks, and is relieved to
find the capitol and the monument
still predominant. Even after five
years one finds the new monuments.
architectural and sculptural, vying In
interest with the old. But the decade
is a more eligible period than the
lustrum for the purpose of comparison
because 1t is ten years since the sem
ate authorized its district committee
to employ experts for the improve
ment of the park system OF the Dis
trict of Columbia"
A chief element OF ones wonder is
the costliness of the new building.
Probably the first thought of the aver
age American, visiting or revisiting
Washington. is that of Mrs. Carlyle's
domestic at the sight of the engraving
of the Sistine Madonna. "Lor,' mum,
how expensive!" The expenditure on
all these new expanses of hewn gran
lite or marble has been not only un.
grudging but lavish. The three new
department buildings which form the
immediate occasion of these remarks
are estimated to cost $4,000. 900

Discard Military Uniform

Old Berliners are lamenting the
gradual disappearance of military uni
forms from the streets. quarter of
a century ago more officers and SOL
diers In uniform were to be met with
in the principal thoroughfares than
civilians. while now, though the Ber-
lin garrison is far larger, the presence
Of the uniform is hardly noticeable.
The main cause OF the change is the
increased cost Of living. Tradition
and custom require that the officer in
uniform shall frequent only the best
restaurants. sit in parquet seats in the
theater. and in general spend money
freely. Few officers possess private
means. while the pay of all ranks is
small. and the result is that II the Of
ficer or soldier is to have any enjoy
ment or recreation In the capital he
can have It only by clothing himself
like the ordinary citisen who can suit
his expenditure to his means.

Put good quarter of cupful of dried
bread crumbs into dish with two
cupfuls of scalded milk, and stand one

Chess Playing Led to Tax Exemption

Chess Playing Led to Tax Exemption.
In connection with the bicentenary

paper recalls an interesting circum-

which for long time escaped pay
ment Of fiscal dues, by playing chess.
The custom had its origin with the
residence OF bishop OF the village.
The bishop WIS a keen chess player,
and he found no one to play with.
Then he taught the villagers, and
when the collector came round they
inveigled him to play for his dues.
The bishop died and the custom con.
tinued for long time, even up to the
days of Frederick the Great, who
played with the villagers and lost. But
he bore his defeat with more mag
nanimity than he sometimes showed.
On his return to Berlin he sent the
commune an ivory chess board and
silver chessmen. These are now pre-
eerved In the archives and shown to
visitors, as a reminder Of the former
glory Of her township for the chess
