child under sixteen years, with the lini-
tations that beneficiaries must be in re-
ceipt of no other income than that de-
rived from their daily labor. that a
widows net income does not exceed $3.50
year and that the widow shall have
been married to the soldier before the
enactment of the law. In the report on
this bill it was set forth that the approx
mate number of beneficiaries is 1900. The
bill is a commendable measure as it
stands. and the charge made by its op-
ponents that 1t is the entering wedge for
pension extravagances in consequence of
the Spanish and Philippine wars will
probably not be justified. The terms of
the bill as passed by the House are gen
erous, because the law as it stands today
meets only the cases of widows and de-
pendent children who are such because OF
incurred in service by husbands
and fathers, whereas the Key bill does
not require that widowhood or depend
ence shall be due to disability OF the nus
band or father incurred in service. The
country has usually dealt well by the
widows and children of its soldiers and
the policy is good enough to be continued

Indiana and Mr.. Wilson.

According to advices from Indianapolis.
the Indiana democrats want Mr.. wilson
to speak in that state next fall They
wrote their creed to please him, and now
they feel he should come out and person
ally throw his strength for it in the cam
paign, Without his Endorsement the plank
in favor of a statewide primary law
could not have been inserted in the plat
form. MIR. Taggart and his friends were
strongly opposed to it.
Is it not too early to be making this re-
quest" Who may say at this time what
the most important issue will be before
the Indiana voters in the coming cam
paign? Just now the issue of the pri-
mary looks big. But it may contract.
and even disappear. before stumping in
Indiana begins. What speaker could hold
an audience on merely local subject.
with a great national subject in all
minds and on many tongues"
And herein lies the present embarrass-
ment of Chairman Doremus of the demo-
cratic congressional campaign commit
tee. He must work in connection with
the local democratic leaders throughout
the country both as respects state tich-
cts and congressional tickets. He must
boom whatever is locally boomable
But what will he do if. some one issue
grows to- proportions overshadoWing all
other issues?
Such thing may happen in the case of
free tolls. even if the President carries
his point with. Congress. His success
there will simply emphasize that issue.
1t will enter into the campaigns. state
and national, and be dwelt upon by both
republicans and bull moosers in way
to dwarf other issues. There is that in
it susceptible of stirring treatment on the
stump. On the tongue of spellbinder
entirely great it may prove mishtier
than all the business issues combined.
Indeed. the question is not inappro-
pirate as to where the change in the sit
uation leaves the democratic chairman.
Mr.. Doremus is a very competent man.
and his selection to conduct his party's
national contest this year seemed in
every way happy.
But he is not with the President in this
tolls business In fact, he has made one
of the strongest speeches heard on the
anti-repeal side. 1t will be widely cir
culated by the republicans and bull
moosers when the campaigns open, and
thus made to do. duty against the demo-
mains on deck he is scheduled for an un-
comfortable time.
The Hoosiers should hold their horses.
This is not the time for the procession to

Eating to Music.

one of the customs which have rapidly
spread in this country is that of eating
to music-the custom of having pubic
music with public meals. 1t is custom
that has spread with such speed and
persistency that even persons with cul-
ture and wisdom and good sense enough
to understand what a disa greeab Bile Gus
tom it is are nearly powerless against
it Restaurant music in the sense in
which one has it now is an invasion. 1t
probably came down from New York.
a city fruitful in atrocities. But in every
city, and of course in Washington there
is all element which likes to take its
cue from New York. and this element
often lacks the discrimination to accept
from New York that which is good and
reject what Is bad. In the long ago
there were some summer gardens in
Washington where one could soothe he
palate and the soul. There were not
many of these places and if you went
to them il was through choice You
knew what was coming to you. Then
if the refreshments were effective the
music did not disturb YOU. However, now
it is difficult to escape. You will get
ragtime with every bite you take. or per
'haps you may sip your soup to solemn
strains and drink your coffee to fearful
measures. Reflection is difficult and con-
versation cannot be indulged unless YOU
talk louder than the orchestra.
The mixing of a concert with clans
and fried oysters or the combination of
symphony and soup do not satisfy both
the ear and the appetite Sometimes one
thinks that perhaps it is plan to hide
poor food under poor music. When you
fail to feel that full and genial glow
necessary to happiness at the table you
do not know whether to blame the cooks
or the musicians. A man who knows
anything of the art of eating does not
chew in two-step time or eat with a
waltz movement

favor of the change of date the civic

resolution of Representative Henry. which
would provide for submission to the states

changing Inauguration date TO the last

that the second Tuesday of January at

age will be limited to $4,000.
Social workers and persons interested
in the health and welfare of children
thought that Miss Julia c. Lathrop was
conservative this year when she request
ed an appropriation of less than s165.OO0
for the conduct of the children's bureau
during the next fiscal year. In slashng
departmental estimates, however. the ap-
preparations committee of the House Of
Representatives has ignored the request
for even modest increase of the appro-
priation for the children's bureau. and
has provided only for an allowance of
of approximately $4,000 The law will
continue to provide for staff OF only
hfteen persons. which will make the
children's bureau sure of its place as the
smallest of all of the branches of de-
partments which deal with important
subjects.
The children's bureau under the di-
rection Of Miss Julia c. Lathrop has
gone on for nearly two years now with
appropriations of less than $4,000 each
year, and the decision of the appropria-
tons committee is to continue to limit
the amount of money given to the studies
and Investigations affecting the welfare
of children. When the childrens bureau
law was enacted two years ago it was
believed by friends of the bill that the
appropriations for the studies of children
would be greatly increased at succeeding
sessions of Congress, in view of the
fact that the government is spending
many millions of dollars in the studies
and investigations of plants and animals.
These predictions, however, have not
been borne out, and friends OF the bu-
reau fear that their hopes will not be
realized while the economy wave is
