SNOBBERY AT CAPITAL:
MRS. GAIT A "TRADESMAN'

That the woman who is soon to wed
President Wilson and thus to become
technically the first lady OF the
land is only a bridesmaids widow"
is the terrible discovery Of the cheap
snobs of Washington society. What ID
the world coming to anyhow, when
the mere widow of a tradesman" can
win the place in the White House
while the daughters of generations OF
luxury and swelldom are passed by?
The late Mr.. Gait vas a trades
man" 1t is a factor face it we
must-that he sold jewelry in the city
OF Washington. He was a good bust
ness man and an honest andrthrifty
merchant and he was able to build up
a business which on his death he left
in such fine condition that his widow,
without previous experience in the
business, was able to carry on sue
cessfully. Had Mr., Gait wrecked d
railroad or fattened his purse on wa
tered stock or struck a gold mine out
west. his making would have passed
muster. But the noble -four .hund-
red" of Washington while able to pass
the Astor fortune which was basod
on furs traded from the Indians, balk
at the right of Mrs. Gait to get into
society through a fortune earned in
mere trade"
I'D Nor does it appear that Mrs. Gait
has catered much to "sassiety." She
has had her work, and her books and
her friends and her travel, and while
she is a charming woman she has not
been a leader in Washington society.
nor has she cared to be. oaI If the or
igin of all fortunes which give en-
to what is known ~asr"good
society" in Washington were to be
scheduled, perhaps other discoveries
sven worse than that madetGa gainst
the late Mr.. Gait would be revealed
Meanwhile, it is interesting to know
that at last an effort is being made
in this country to grow snobs who re-
sent the rewards of honest work -

HERREiD ON PREPAREDNESS;
coNTRoVERTs THE PRESIDENT

Public sentiment is by no means
unanimous in behalf of the presidents
military and naval preparedness
program. This is illustrated, most
forcibly, by a letter written by former
Governor Herreid to j. w. Parmley
of Ipswich, president Of the South
Dakota Peace society, which is pub
lished in today's News. In this let.
ter, Mr.. Herreid brings out many
facts that the average layman knows
nothing about-one being the number
of forts that are kept in operation by
the United States. the majority Of
which are utterly useless and of no
account whatever to the country, ex
cept, as Mr.. Herreid intimates, to
give the soldiers and officers of the
United States army d little ~janitor
work in keeping the forts ~presentable.
Another fact the writer brings out,
regarding the number of army officers
on the retired list, some of them as
Young as SO years of age, is also as
tonishing. These facts, taken in con
nection with the figures regarding the
huge amounts the United States is al
ready expanding for preparedness"
is we'll calculated to incline the pep-
pie to pause and consider before
giving their unqualified approval to
the Wilson-Daniels- Garrison program.

eral buildings are being erected or
have been recently constructed at a
cost to the government far in excess

uuate for our needs" 1t should not
be understood that Gamers viewpoint
is exceptional. 1t is not. The chief
difference between him and other
ressm is that he frankly admits
that he has engaged in looting the
federal treasury while others deny 1t
or remain silent on the subject.
And it is by such men as Garner
that it is proposed now that a billion
dollars additional be spent upon the
army and navy. What a feast of pork

FEEDING BIRDS IN WINTER
Chicago Man Urges Plan Which He
Thinks Would Result In an
Enormous Saving.

Estimating that a billion dollars
worth of foodstuff is destroyed each
year. which is the conclusion of ex-
perts On the subject. Chicago grain
broker thinks that if the insect-de
stroy.aS birds could be saved each
year his loss would be measurably
deer sed, if not prevented. He thinks
birds do not migrate from the North
in winter because of climate, but he
cause Of scarcity of food; and he has
established q winter feeding place in
his suburban home. He has comfort
able bird houses put in trees, and, for
feeding, q suet box with a wire graf
Ing, SO that the bird may peck
though at the suet and yet not get 1t
all at once. but for the greater reason
that it prevents the larger birds from
driving OF the smaller ones, which is
the case where suet is placed in a
lump on the ground or hung unpro-
tected. The result so far is that
many birds of species ordinarily I'M
known to Chicago during winter
months remain on this mans place,
while still others coming from the
north stop there. This encourages
his belief that systematic and wide
spread feeding OF birds would retain
them. and SO have them for use to ex-
terminate the insect pests which now
cause SO great loss.
