wv the business girl to give lit
tie thought to the matter OF
saving?
Some business women do try to save
certain percentage of their salary,
but others give no thought of it. And
especially is this true of the begin
ner in business. 1t is such a novelty
to her to have her own money to
spend, it is so delightful to buy what
ever she wants without having to con-
suit anyone, that her money slips
through her fingers like water. The
thought of systematic saving has not
yet entered her head.
But there is a pleasure in systen--t-
&c saving that has to be experienced
to be realized. And there are future
benefits that are still more delight
full. And it is a practice that in itself
has a great effect on a girls charac-
ter. So that there is &c girl who will
not be profited by saving, and profit
ed in ways that will bring, her keen
satisfaction.
So it will pay even the most
thoughtless little business girl to give
some attention to the matter.
The best way for the business girl
to save is not to put by the quarter or
half dollar or dollar that may be left
in her purse at the end of the week.
OF course, it is better to do this than
not to save at all. But the most sat
isfactory way to save is to save sys-
tematically, to decide to put by so
much each week. and then to do It.

And the surest way 20 succeed IL

The Hunger Strike Problem.

An awkward problem may be put up to
the British home secretary if Alice Hall.
notorious criminal just sentenced 10
penal servitude for three years. carries
into effect her threat to go a hunger
strike as did Mrs. Pankhurst. She has
confidently predicted that she will be out
OF prison in three weeks in consequence
of her refusal TO take food or drink. II
will he under the necessity of granting
her a release on permit or discriminat-
ing between her case and that of the suf-
frage leader. This dilemma has been
suggested as possible several times since
the militants began their hunger strikes
in prison. and curiosity has been felt as
in such an event. Now the case seems
10 he at hand. III Alice Hall can secure
release from confinement by simply refus-
ing 10 eat. any other prisoner can do the
same and the British penal system will
be quickly dtmoralized. with large num-
bers of convicts set at large. And il the
government decides that it cannot dis
criminate between classes of offenders
in this respect il may be forced to apply
the same leniency to any male convict
who is willing 10 forego food for a short
time in order to gain release from his
cell

The Independence Day Fund.

Plans for the Independence day cele-
bration are now well formulated. while
active preparations for carrying them into
effect are under way. \ program of ex-
ceptional interest and entertainment for
a great multitude of people will be enact
ed on the national birthday. giving Wash
ngton perhaps for the first time in its
history an adequate spectacular COM
memoration of the day on which the
Declaration of Independence was signed.
The pageant, which will pass through the
Mall and eliminate in a series of COM
memorative features, climaXing in a great
birthday party on the ellipse, will en-
list the services of hundreds of adults and
children, and judging from present indi-
cations there will be no difficulty in fill
ing the ranks of the performers.
The execution of these plans will cost
a few thousand dollars. and TO meet this
expense and 10 provide also for a display
of fireworks at night a fund is to be
raised by popular subscriptions, for which
a call has just been issued 1t should
be the pleasure of every citizen of the
District to give to this fund On a basis
of the present liberal estimate OF 81 500 to
pay all the costs of this celebration the
donation of little more than two cents
apiece by each person in the District
would meet the bill. Ten cents from each
adult would give the necessary amount
with margin. If 5000 people, or less
than one-tenth of the total population.
would give a quarter each. the amount
would be in hand
Ii is desirable To raise this fund from
the largest possible number of contrib
utors. that each person may feel in
dividually concerned in the success of the
celebration. \obodys dime is to- be de-
spised in such an enterprise. While dol

Failure of Car Service.

Perhaps the public utilities commission
can with profit investigate the failure OF
service on the Great Falls and Old Do
minion line on the night of May % AS
a result OF the disarrangement Of some
of the machinery at a power station the
current became inadequate TO move the
cars and several hundred people were
marooned at Great Falls until long after
midnight. each of the cars that were with
difficulty sent over the line bringing back
to the city an excessive number of pas

Senate and. Lobbyists.
II the Philadelphia Ledger.


For years the impression has been
spread about the country. by insnua-
ton and direct charges. that tariff and
other legislation is substantially the re-
suit of adroit lobbying. Suspicious have
been aroused and many good American
citizens have come to believe. because
they have not analyZed conditions care
fully. that solicitation by special plead
ers. hired TO influence legislation subtly
in the interest of the few. and even in
direct or direct bribery have character
lied enactments and determined the poll
cies of the nation. The declaration by
the President that the most insidious
lobby" of years is actively at work in
an effort TO defeat the purpose of the
Underwood bill has given concrete eX-
preston to former limitations and at
forded the Senate an opportunity to in
vestigate the whole situation and clear it
up. The President it is true. has his
own way of doing things. He may. as
the humorists say. have something up
his sleeve, but the general opinion in
Washington seems to be that he has
mistaken legitimate opposition to partic-
ular schedules for illicit attempts to
influence legislation. He has, at any
rate. forced publicity, which is what
the nation wants. Let this inquiry go
to the bottom of things.

The Currency and This Session.

The agitation for currency reform mas
taken on a new phase. 1t IS proposed
10 make the reform a sort OF appendas &c
OF tariff revision Fear Is expressed
IN some quarters that attacks on inc
new tariff law will be instituted Tor
the purpose Of discrediting il and fore
in. i return 10 a frank policy OF pro
lection. and that. as a result, business
will be disturbed and losses follow IN
less provision is now made for lib-
eraIization of the present currency
laws
The question was already dlfficult
Fewer men understand the currency
than understand the tariff wider
division of opinion exists on the former
than on the latter question on the
tariff question men divide broadly on
the lines of high or low duties. ON the
currency question not only party lines
but sectional lines disappear. 1t is
hardly extravagant to say that today
q sort Of chaos exists as to what should
be done 10 make the currency meet the
large requirements of these large
times.
Until now the tariff had not entered
into the matter at all The commission
appointed by Congress several years
ago 10 investigate the currency ques-
tion was composed of both republicans
and democrats, and in their work they
took no note of any other question.
Both al home and abroad they con-
ferred with fnanciers and bankers
solely with the view of improving our
currency medium.
Now the appeal is narrower. and in
a way partisan \ state of things is
assumed. 1T is asserted in certain
quarters that the Underwood tariff re-
vision when il goes into effect will be
fought unfairly. and must have cur
rency legislation 10 enable il TO stand
that under the currency laws they
now exist the enemies of low tariff
Will have an advantage and will use il.
How will this strike the republicans
and the bull moosers in Congress. who
think that the Underwood tariff re-
vision should not be made: Their con-
tention is that the democratic tariff
program is bound TO produce business
depression. with a loss of dividends TO
capital and of wages to labor, and that
the thing for the democrats TO do is
TO change their program. Why prepare
a poison and supposed antidote at
the same time? Omit the poison. and
the antidote. mixed TO defeat the
poison, will not be necessary.
Currency legislation at this session
will mean a protraeted sitting of Con
gress. Few experienced observers ex-
pect the Senate to dispose of the tariff
before August and September figures
in the guessing. So that if the cur
rency is forced upon that body as soon

and file of the dominant party 1t has
always been so. Men who want nothing
for themselves are not easily appraised
by those who have number one affec-
tlonately in view. The members of Jack
sons kitchen cabinet had warm time
while Old Hickory occupied the White
House.
Just now Col. House is abroad on pri-
vate affairs, his friends say. But rumoi

and upon his return make some sugSes-
tons to the President on the subject OF
the diplomatic appointments for Europe
that are still due.
And. by the way. many are due. Mr.
Page has reached London. but Mr.. Nc
Combs has declined Paris and Prof. Fine
of Princeton Berlin and nobody has vel
been named for Rome. Madrid. Vienna
st. Petersburg or ConStantinople. These
European appointments were never more
important than now, and much interest
attaches to the sort of men Mr.. Wilson
will pick for the work.
Mr.. Wilson needs light on many mat
tiers. and is justified in seeking it through
channels he himself best approves. He
knows Col House. has proved both his
judgment and his faithfulness. and if he
is looking To him now for suggestions
about either men or measures, or both,
