am a fly. I'm not very old and am
just learning where to find the best
things to eat My favorite places are
in the spittoon in the sitting room and
the uncovered garbage can on the back
porch. Of course some flies would be
bothered about having to go out of
doors to get to that can. But it doesn't
worry me. In the house where l live
there aren't any screens, so | can fly
from the garbage can to the spittoon
in perfect safety. | often stop on the
way, though, to get in the sugar bowl
or crawl over any eatables that are
handy
There's a baby in this house who an
noys HE very much. Every time l
leave the spittoon and crawl into that
OF course | leave a few tuberculosis
germs in its mouth, but it doesn't seem
like that would hurt the baby.
1t seems to me like people don't know
what is good to eat. At least the peo-
pie in this house don't. Why, they
throw away all the good things. They
put them in the garbage pail ] am
endeavoring to show them what good
things are, however, for l get my feet
all sticky in the garbage can and then
go and wipe them on the bread. About
a hundred of my companions are do
ing the same thing. l really believe
that the people are beginning to like it.
for they never trouble us any more.
We wipe our feet on the bread in
peace and quiet
/ heard the woman across the way
say that she believed flies had some
thing to do with the man in this house
having consumption. ! wonder if he
got it from the bread.
The woman across the way is losing
all her flies. They're all coming over
to our house. She won't give them
anything to eat She covers up her
garbage pail, has tight screens on all
her doors and is a terror to flies in gen.
eral. Her children are such happy,
hearty youngsters, while the children
in this house are always cross. They
never get any afternoon nap. The flies
won't let them.
There's very great deal Of illness in
this house. Two Of the boys have
malaria and the father is never we'll.
| heard the mother say to the woman
across the way: 81 really do not know
what to do for all this sickness. 1t
drives me distracted" What do you
think that woman said? Why, swat
the fly" of course, at which ducked.
Oh. yes! The baby has the typhoid.

A Christmas Thought.

There is a feature in the Christina
gifts of some of the great corporation.
to their employees this year, not al
together new, indeed, but having a
significance especially apt to the people
of the District of Columbia. This is
the fact that some Of the corporations
take occasion on this greatest of holi-
days to contribute generously TO the
pension and sick benefit funds of their
employees, instead of making individ-
ual donations to the several workers.
Whenever the providentiaI care shown
by some private employers is pre-
sented to the thousands of govern
ment employees in the Capital, the lat
fer inevitably compare their own great
master, the United States, with indi-
viduals and companies whose tremen-
dous activities have caused them to be
cursed of millions, yet whose direct
concern for the men and women who
work for them bespeaks wisdom and
generosity. At no other time is this
comparison so present and So od;ous
as at this season of the year when
government employees, like all other
employees are under the stress of hol-
iday expenses. Their forced spending
pressure holds before them more patent
than at any other time that lust as
the end of their holiday gIadness will
leave them with little if any ready
money, so, too, the heyday of youth.
with. its plenitude of vigor. and ambi-
ton, will leave them in the same TN
condition, and with the add
ed disability of senile decrepitude.
Uncle Sam is popularity represented
in song, story, and picture as making
l partner with Santa Claus. The men
n Congress whose legislative acts make
possible Uncle SANS activities can
lave no better Christmas thought than
! consideration of the needs and dues
If Uncle Sans faithful. One of these
leeds is retirement pension fund.

TAFT ORDER TO BE TESTED.
Brief Filed on Exemption of Petro-
Ieum Land from Private Entry.

To test the validity Of. an order made
by President Taft September 2, 1903. by
which large areas of petroleum-bearing
lands in Wyoming and California were
exempted from private entry, Solicitor
General Davis, OF the Department of Jus
tice, yesterday filed a brief In the Su-
preme Court OF the United States in the
case brought by the government against
the Midwest Oil Company and others.
The purpose of Withdrawing these lands
was to reserve an adequate supply OF
fuel oil for the navy. The contention Is
made that express authorization by Con-
gress empowered the President to with
draw these lands, and that the descend
ants claiming title based their ownership
upon a void title.
A decision by the Supreme Court in
this case involves lands worth approxi-
uately SIS. .000, 900 in Wyoming and Cali
fornia. This case. however. is practically
an custer suit from ownership OF land In
wyoming.

Hurah, for Our New cur.neyi

4 We have new currency bill. Every.
body is glad of it. The administration
is pleased because this means the COM
pletion of the second important part
of its program The Republicans are
satisfied, because they made long,
hard fight against what they deemed to
be dangerous features in the bill, and
now all responsibility for any weakness
in it is squarely up to the Democratic
party. And besides, they now no longer
have to sit for about twenty-three hours
at stretch in an ill-ventilated and
germ-flled Senate Chamber, The busi-
ness community approves, because, ever
since it became evident that the Demo-
cratic caucus was going to hurry the
thing through anyway, business men
have wanted to get the uncertainty be-
hind their backs as soon as possible.
The bankers feel just the same way.
They have feared imperfections in the
proposed measure, but as soon as they
saw that any more talking-no matter
how sound-was unwelcome, they felt
that the quicker the bill went to the
President for signature, the better.
The Herald steadily and consistently
opposed haste in the passage of this
measure. We felt that the reform of
our currency was too important a mat
ter to be hurried. But the Democratic
majority apparently felt that it knew
just as s'much about the question as we
did, and, having more votes, it beat US
out. And now that the deed is done
We and all patriotic, forward-looking
citizens (as President Wilson would
say) are going to turn to and do our
darndeSt to make the new measure a
complete success.
This is the attitude that bankers will |
generally take, we are confident. That
doesn't mean that every national bank |
will rush to get enrolled in the new
system. That is too much to hope for.
But what will happen is that few, if
any, of them will hang around and
find fault. They will cooperate, they
will help, they will do everything they
can to Offset any shortcomings that the
measure contains. Such an attitude
may always be predicated of the Amer
ican people. They may line up on op-
posite sides of a question, but the side
that gets licked never sits around and
sulks. 1t always gets busy and helps
out.
Therefore, We expect to see the new
measure worked out to a Sue
cess. There will be some moments in
its early operations that will be awk-
ward, but, We believe, not perilous;
and before year is out we shall find
he machinery working in apple-pie or
Ter.
In this final comment of ours upon
he passage of the bill and in the midst !
If our confidence that we shall all be :
'atisfied and happy under it, we have
'nly one reservation: our concern as to ,
he makeup OF the Federal reserve
'oard and of the regional bank boards.
n so far as they are political. If such s
ppointments as lie in the Presidents
ands are not filled with utter disre-
ard of political consideration, and
Nth every stress laid upon ability, ex-
erience, and character, then, indeed,
'e shall find ourselves in a morass of
lcalculable width and depth. But may
eaven and the President (upon the
air of whom the responsibility rests)
orfend such an outcome! t
