plan of making her own leather cover
so it would slip on and carried linen
ones for night.
Buying two soft skins. she cut the
case the size suited to the cushion. add
ing an extra inch to turn under. On
three sides. she stitched it, turning the
four corners that those at the edge to
be left open should be square and well
shaped Then she bethought that un
less there was some protection dust OF
the day would settle in the open side
sOiling the white pillow.
To avoid this she cut flap -four
inches wide. the length of the case
This she basted inside across the open
making 1t serve as wide tongue
Then. basting back underneath the ex
ira inch of leather. she put the case In
the machine and sewed it. using heav!
twist, making the effect Of a wide hen,
about the whole cushion. At each cor
ner Of the tongue she sewed a small
hook and an eye to correspond Oh
the inside of the case to hold the cor
ners down when the cushion was in.
To close the two edges there were
leather buttons and buttonholes.
To slip the pillow into this was tn.
work Of only a moment. and the fasten
ings held 1t securely protected from
dust. When she wanted to use 1t IL
the house the cushion was taken out
the leather case put aside and one OF
white linen substituted. For the fair

"U." HEAD MAY QUIT.
RumOr Says President Kane VIII Go to
similar Position in East.

1t is rumored that President Thom-
as F. Kane of the University of Wash
ington will resign his position to take
up similar duties with some educa-
tional institution in the East. At the
present time DR.. Kane refuses to dis
cuss the matter, but announcement one
way or the other is expected in jan
uary, when the personnel of the board
of regents, a couple of whose men,
bers expect to resign, is settled.
President Kane came to the Univer-
sity of Washington in 1900 from Oil
vet college, and for two years held a
professorship in Latin. He was APP
pointed acting president in 1902 and
held this position for a year, after
which he was elected president and
has been reelected annually.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Events of Interest from the sent
of Governments.
by j. T.. JONES.
The Currency ItilI.

Inc situation in relation to the cur.
rency legislation appears to have clar-
med and the measure being supported
by the Democratic majority in the
senate is practically the bill as pass
ed by the house. There are a good
many amendments to the original bill
prepared at the instigation of Presi-
ident Wilson. Senator Owen from
now on Will Jump into added promi-
hence as the administration leader in
the senate.
While Senator Hitchcock is the lone
Democrat to champion the opposition,
he is likely to overreach the eminence
he attained when he arose day after
day in the house of representatives de.
handing an investigation of the in.
terror department under Secretary Bal
| llnger. 1t was Hitchcock who drove
Ballinger out of public life and he did
more than any other member of Con-
gress to disrupt the Taft administra-
ton. In those days Mr.. Hitchcock
was fighting his political enemies.
Now he is a thorn in the side of his
party's flesh, as the leader of the Re-
publican members in the committee
who signed the minority report with
him.
Senator Newlands of Nevada and
Snnatnr Of roI@
Democrats, jumped into the fray at
the outset with amendments to the
Democratic bill. The substance of the
objection by them and other repre-
sentatives of Western states is be-
cause of the lack of regional reserve
banks, and it is evidently the belief in
the Far West that they are to be
sighted in the distribution of these
regional banks.
Segregation Of the Races.
With the advent of the Democratic
administration and the control of Con.
gress by the Southern states there
were great many charges of segre-
cation of the races in the departments.
Immediately following the Inaugural
tion of President Wilson there came to
Washington large armies of office seek
ers from the Southern states, who felt
that inasmuch as they had been oc-
cupying obscure corners for so long, it
was about time for them to share in
some of the spoils of victory. Finding
that there was not room enough for
them all. there resulted an organiza-
ton in Washington whose object was
the segregation of the races in gov
eminent positions. This demand,
though rather feebly expressed in hav-
ing as its principal champions disap-
pointed politicians, likely found some
support in a number of departments
where prejudice existed against the
negro. However, 1t was discovered
that the civil service was rather UNI
wieldy and unyielding, and the "seg-
regators" gave up the job. Although

Want Their Panama Hack

The great big United States has
been paying little attention to the new
er-ceasing wall of the Republic of Co.
lumbia. since that eventful day when
a revolution was started on the 18th.
mus of Panama resulting in less than
"A hours in an Independent republic
being recognized and protected by the
strong arm of the Uncle Sam, through
the action of former President Roose-
welt The position taken by President
Roosevelt was that politicians, cant
talists and others interested in OBJ
structing the progress of the canar
were using Columbia as a catspaw to
draw their chestnuts of the fire.
Therefore Mr. Roosevelt felt justified
in taking the short cut in establishing
an Independent government on the
sthmus.
Columbia has never ceased to press
it's claim against the United States.
and it is therefore of interest that
Secretary Bryan has been the first to,
lend an ear to the protesting Column
bian government. 1t is said that Co.
lumbia definitely proposed that the
United States repudate the recogni-
ton of the independence of Panama
and permit Columbia to force that
country back to it's old position as a
province of Columbia. In return Co.
lumbia will then give the United
States a clear title to the Canal Zone
and promise that the hostilities of that
country against the United States will
end. OF course, Columbia will expect
a big piece of United States currency
as a balm for this loss of territory and
its injured dignity.
Suggests National University.
Congressman Bartholdt in resolu-
ton which he has presented to the
house of representatives proposed to
create a national University at Wash
ington, d. c., to be maintained under
the control and at the expense of the
federal government. The congress
man evidently believes that Uncle Sam
does everything better than anybody
else, and since the states have their
various universities and colleges, he
wants a committee of Congress to find
out what the government could accom-
plish along the same line.

A series of those characteristically
sensational articles declaring that the
eyes of the world rest on the national
capital and adding that the industrial
interests are shivering in their boots,
have made their simultaneous mys.
FERROUS appearance on the front pages
of newspapers throughout the country,
serving to illustrate that there still
remains in the vicinity of little
narrow street running from Broadway
down to the East river, coterie of
people who have not yet discovered
that the American people are no long
er frightened by somebody hollering
"boo!" The hysteria of the trusts has
become familiar to Washington in the
past six or seven years, during which
time the control of government has
been passing swiftly to the govern
ment itself, instead of being sublet
privilege of big business.
1t is a certain fact that all political
parties in existence today recognize
the need for advance legislation and
likewise all concur in the need of cur
rency reform. There are natural diff
ferences of opinion as to the method
of arriving at this and there are those
who do not agree with the Democrats
that their bill is anywhere near per-
feet, but the three principal political
parties are united in desiring to Sc
cure the best possible legislative re-
suits. The attitude of the leaders of
these great political parties assures ev-
cry reasonable protection to legiti-
mate business. However, big bust
ness" has started it's backfire in the
hope of checking the investigation of
trusts which has been under way in
this country for number Of years.
The reason for this hidden activity is
evident since Congress is determined
to pursue federal investigation on a
more extensive scale than has been
heretofore known. Hence the con-
flict in which the greed of trusts
stands for the first time in its history
unsupported by any substantial wing
of any political party.

Smit NGninSt L. =. ScnntOr.

The ways of rich senators and their
campaign managers are indeed along
most rocky routes. The whole coun-
try knows the story of the election of
Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin, which
brought on an investigation in the
senate itself wherein the multi-mil-
lionaire had a close call when it came
TO the final vote as to his custer. One
of the senator's protegees in Washing
ton has been Rodney Sacket, who I'M
til recently held position on the SEN
ate clerical force. Having lost out
along with a good many other Repub-
leans whose places were wanted by
Democrats, Sacket has take up the vo-
cation of suing Senator Stephenson for
services rendered" during the cam
paign. Mr.. Sackett was one of the
men who held the Stephenson bag in
the Wisconsin primaries.

there still remain in Washington a
good many people who continue to
fight the struggles of Civil war times,
yet the indications are that there will
not be any early revival of efforts to-
wards segregation.
