A man from near Kokomo, Ind.
came along for his first look at the
Capital. and asked to be directed to
the best eating place in town. Sena-
tor Kern tells this story about what
followed. The man looked over the
menu card, almost as large as a news
paper page, and couldn't find a thing
that looked familiar amongst all the
cafe French except corned beef and
cabbage. So he ordered corned beef
and cabbage-and a cup of coffee.
The waiter brought him a bill for
s1.1O.
"whut's this. whut's thisr' exclaimed
the man. How do you figure ! owe
you such a wad of money!"
Ninety cents for corned beef and
cabbage and 20 cents for coffee" the
waiter told him.
You mean to say that e't 90 cents
worth of corned beef and cabbage?"
Yes" nodded the waiter, politely.
Man, you're crazier'n a woman" OBJ
served the diner, disgustedly. I'll bet
you a two-dollsr bill that you couldn't
even LIFT 30 cents worth of corned
beef and cabbage"
Senator Miles Poindexter had occasion
to stop at a leading hotel in a big west
unable to sleep because of certain vexa-
tious conditions that existed with refer
ence to his bed. He was obliged to toss
abouS all night and act like a man with
hives.
When he got back to his office he wrote
a scathiDg letter to the proprietor of The
hotel.
The proprietor wrote back a three-page
letter done in the politest Of phraseology,
in which he thanked Poindexter for tell
ing him.
"Such thing has never occurred be-
fore in this hotel" said the proprietor,
and we trust it never will occur again
We are deeply obligated to you for telling
us, because II we did not know of such
things the trouble might become greatly
augmented. While We are astonished
that the condition you mention could ex-
ist, we are thankful that you told us
before any other guest is exposed to SINH
lar annoyance"
Thus the letter went on. But the writer

randum paper. On 1t was line written

Other Points on the Credit Side.

President Wilson's disposition to
make haste slowly in filling the Offices,
thus showing that he is exercising care
in the selection of new officials, is also
to his credit. Another thing which
has helped him is his return to the
frequent gatherings of newspaper cor
respondents at the White House, a GUS
tom instituted by Roosevelt and dis
continued by Taft. The latter, with
judicial temperament. Stunned undue
publicity and personal advertisement.
He suffered greatly thereby Roose-
welt had the limelight constantly turned
upon himself, and the people like it. A
man of marvellous energy and re-
sourcefulness, he was always doing or
saying something to attract public at
tention. Nobody likes a nonentity,
and Self-effacement may be commenda-
BILE. but it is not always wise.
President Wilson is keeping himself
in the public eye very much after the
manner of Roosevelt-not as erratic
and spectacular, perhaps, but still find
ing something to say in epigrammatic
and striking form. The newspapers
reach the people and the President
keeps in touch with the men who
write. 1t is an arrangement which is
mutually beneficial. The papers get
news and the President establishes a
close relation with the people who
want TO know what is in his mind.
Above all, it shows the Presidents
shrewd appreciation of a power which
his predecessor unwisely ignored.

New Extradition Treaty Needed.

1t has been argued that because
Italy on several occasions has declined
to return to the United States Italian
subjects who have committed crimes
here, this country should not deliver
Charlton over to Italian justice But
the Italian courts try Italians who
have committed crimes in alien terri
tory, while American courts try only
those who commit crimes in the
United Statess Our extradition treaty
with Italy is a one-sided affair But
that is the fault of the State Depart
ment. which has not sought so far to
amend it. The way to equalize condi-
tions is to make a new treaty. Hold
ing Charlton here unpunished, as a
reprisal against Italy" could not have
helped the diplomatic situation.
In the Porter Charlton case two
points have been settled in a common
sense way. Charlton is alleged to
have murdered his wife in Italy and
then fed to this country. He cannot
be tried here for the murder, and can
be tried in Italy. 1t is against COM
mon sense to keep him in a jurisdic-
tion where his case cannot get on a
court calendar, when the country in
which. he committed the crime stands
ready to call him to account

The Washington herald., 1913-06-15
THE POLITICAL SITUATION

The new administration has now been
in power three months. What has it
accomplished, where does it stand, and
what is the outlook for its future?
Woodrow Wilson became President
under peculiar conditions. He had had
only a brief political experience, hav-
ing been taken out of the college
cloister and made Governor of New
Jersey as a stepping-stone to higher
honors. In that executive position
he had shown much capacity, def
niteness of purpose, and strength of
character. 1t was this fact that led
the country to accept with confidence
his election to the Presidency, even
though he was not the choice of the
majority of the people. At the same
time, he was a schoolmaster in poll
tics. Although a student of govern
ment he had not been active in public
life. His acquaintance with men and
measures was naturally limited. There
was still doubt in the popular mind
whether the fact that he had been a
good Governor in his own State in
sured his successful administration as
President.
Whatever doubts existed upon this
score have largely disappeared. Presi-
dent Wilson is undoubtedly stronger
in the country today than he was when
he entered the White House. This is
due, more than anything else, to the
fact that he seems to be imbued with
good. hard. downright common sense.
This is his most valuable asset He
seems to have the faculty of govern
ing his course of conduct by rules
which insure sensible action. In per-
Sonal matters, even though he shat
tiers precedent, he seems to have met
popular approval. Take. for instance.
his visits TO the Capitol and his es-
tablishment of an office under the very
shadow of the Senate chamber II
was bold and unique proceeding, but
the country has accepted it as a wise
innovation. In the treatment of in
tcrnational questions, such as the
Japanese situation in California, he
has displayed both frmness and tact.
The same characteristics are also
manifest in his dealings with legis-
lators and legislation. He has set him
self to accomplish certain results and
does not propose to be disappointed
The Washington herald., 1913-06-15
When the Clouds Arise.

But the sun is not going always TO
shine upon the administration, even
though the skies be now so fair. AL.
ready there are clouds upon the
horizon.
The tariff bill has not yet passed.
The margin of Democratic control in
the Senate is too close for comfort. If
three Democrats vote against the bill
the result will be tie and Vice Pres
ident Marshall will be called upon to
pass the bill by recording himself in
the affirmative. The two Louisiana
Senators are certain to vote against
the measure, with its free sugar pro-
vision, and Senator Walsh of Mon
tana was elected with the distinct TN
derstanding that he was against free
wool If one other Democrat should
cast his vote in the negative, the bill
would be defeated. Therefore, a cau-
Gus is to be held so as to compel every
Senator, except the two from Louis
lana, to abide by the will of the ma
jority or else be denounced as a traitor
to his party. That caucus will be like
volcano. ready to erupt at any mo-
ment When, under similar conditions
of bare majority, the Democrats
caucused upon the Wilson tariff bill
in the Cleveland administration they
wrangled for two weeks and split the
party. If they can, in the present in
stance, emerge from the caucus with
harmony and solidity they should be
greeted with hymns of praise. They
are now facing the severest test which
the administration will have to un-
dergo.
Among other things, satisfactory ex-
planation will have to be made to the
country if the duties on cotton manu-
features are increased. Cotton mills
have multiplied enormously in the
South, especially in North Carolina and
South Carolina, but that is no reason
why favoritism should be shown to
that section. Other changes will be
scrutinized and criticised in the eau
Gus and Senators who have not been
