OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

The administration has agreed
upon a Legislative program which in
cludes besides the appropriation bills,
the Alaskan railroad project design
cd to open the interior to develop
ment; amending the immigration
laws so as to include certain unde-
sirable aliens; the establishment of
a system of rural credits; the gov
eminent of the canal zone and the
operation of the solution OF some half
dozen trust problems. The President
and Congress, at least the House,
are anxious TO complete all this by
June lst., a contamination devoutly
to be wished for.
Notice of civil service examina-
tons for fourth class postmasters,
have been sent out to several states,
giving dates and places of such eX-
aminations. An order has been made
requiring all who hold such offices
or are applicants for appointment,
to be certified by the Civil Service
Commission. The three persons max
ing the highest grades in the exami-
nations are certified, and the ap-
pointment is made from this list.
If you do not see the notice in the
papers, write the Civil Service Com
mission, Washington, ID. c.
The Senate committee has report
ed favorably on tratise pending
before that body, with some twenty
four foreign countries. 1t is thought
that the ratification of these treaties
will be a long step in the movement
towards an universal peace agree
ment. The intense interest manifest
ed in the Hensey resolution propos-
ing holiday of one year in warship
building, indicates that several first
class powers have grown tired of
the mad race for naval supremacy.
The administration is anxious to
have these treatises ratified speedily,
and no doubt this will be done.
IL has frequently been charged on
the floor Of the House that the en-
trance examinations to West Point
Military Academy are entirely too
difficult. They have been called UNI
fair, and unjust. A recent order
provides that candidate for adj
mission who is a regular enrolled
student in good standing, without
conditions, In any institution ac-
credited by the Military Academy.
may be exempted from the liter
airy examinations. 1t also provides
that he may be exempted if he pre-
sents a certificate of graduation
from an institution accepted as stan
dard by the examining board of the
academy. 1t is thought that this or
der will stimulate young men to en-
ter, and thus greatly decrease the
number of vacancies in the lnstitu-
tion.

sylvania, while discussing the imigra-
ton bill, made the statement that

Prayed to Die With Husband

Reduced to poverty through bust
ness reverses, Jesse NJ. Kelley, SO
years old, once one of the wealthiest
men in Springfield, died in hovel
on the outskirts of that city, last
Saturday. His wife, who was sc
years old, died one hour later
When she learned, several days
ago, that her husband was sinking
gradually, she refused all nour'
ishment and prayed continually that
they might die together.

This particular son evidently sees
that the days of banker management
are numbered, and that the future
of railroading in this country is to be

Isn't he to be congratulated upon

The literary test is the provision
in the immigration bill that proved
to be the bone Of contention. Repre-
sentatives whose constituencies are
largely foreign born, tried hard to
amend out of the bill the provision
that requires that all aliens that are
admitted shall be able to read or
write in some language, There was
great difference of opinion as to
whether this provision would ad ma
terially to the effectiveness of the
law A majority were of the opinion
that there should be some effective
way to exclude certain Objectionable
aliens. 1t is to be hoped that this
measure, when finally enacted into
law will accomplish this.

There Are Stores In This City
So Good That They Could Use
Twice AS Much Advertising Space
AS They Now Use--'And
Make It Pay!

THE BETTER THE STORE THE BET
TER THE ADVERTISING PAYS Your own
observations in this store-world will confirm this
truth.
PUBLICITY is bad only for bad PROPOSE
ton. 1t is just surely good for good one.
What is good storc?' One that really
SERVES THE PUBLIC, protecting its patrons
as to VALUES not merely as to PRICES.
There many stores in this city answering
to that definition completely. In every city there
are always stores that do not.
An important phase of GOOD STORES
SERVICE TO ITS PATRONS is its newspaper
advertising. This should be complete, frank in
forming 1t should tell the store-news as fully
good newspaper tells the news Of the day.
Perhaps the best possible NEW POLICY for
the GOOD stores of this city to adopt would be
that of DOUBLING THE ADVERTISING
SPACE THAT THEY USE-thus giving them
"elbowroom giving them bigger opportunities
for telling their patrons in detail about every sell
ing event. about every bargain offering, about every
dollars worth of new stocks. OF course even
HALF ENOUGH ADVERTISING pays the
really good store; but ADEQUATE ADVERTIS-
ING would pay much better

Evangelist E. c. Miller Of South
Bend has just completed a revival
campaign in Assumption, ILL.,, in which

said, had been allowing the saloons
which had been voted out of exist
ence at an option election, TO Oper-
ate as blind tigers.

said. With the conversion of the four
wet" members Of the council, how
ever, and the other administrative
officials, these were shut up and the
town is now dry, in fact as in name,
according to the evangelist.
