INDUSTRIAL WASHINGTON

Nobody is so fond of saying there
is no business in Washington as is
the Washingtonian himself. Some
times he is regretful, and wishes
there were more factories here and
a big industrial population. Some
times he is boastful, and has pride
in the fact that the National Capital
is not polluted with the smoke and
CRIME of industry. But nearly al
ways he says there isn't any busi-
ness here.
But here comes the census with
some figures. 1t seems we have 513
manufacturing establishments in
the District, falling off of five in
a period of five years, but for THAT
loss of factory year we are COM
pensated by an increase of more
than ten million dollars in capital
invested. by an increase of so per
cent in horsepower used, an advance
of more than 25 per cent in salaries
and wages paid, and a substantial
gain in the value of products turned
out. A pay roll of nearly eight and
a quarter millions in manufactur-
ing is not bad for a city that has
no business at all.
One of our fellow-townsmen on q
visit to the rural Missouri village Of
his birth was discoursing on the
beauties of the National Capital to
a group of old men who knew him
before he left for the East and who
had prophesied that at wouldn't be
no use to leave home" The Wash
ingtonian was expansive in his eff
forts to prove that the prophets
were false and talked much of
smokeless skies and white marbles.
One of the ancients finally asked
about business. "Oh, there is no
business in Washington" was the
glib reply. Astonishment stilled
speech for a second, and then one
gray beard found voice: "Ain't they
nary store there a-tall?"
The tale has a moral. Nobody
ever did any good for his home town
by minimizing it. The booster spirit
has done wonders for many cities
and it is high time Washington i'm
bibed a little of it.

VACATION DAYS

Having labored with more or less
assiduity for fifty weeks in the year,
the average business man, employer
or employe, is now looking forward
to the annual two weeks of respite.
Now is the time when the ledger be-
comes an even more ponderous tome
than of yore; when columns of fig
ures, with ingenious perversity, sue
ceed in achieving combinations un-
known to any of the canons of arith-
metic; when the mind is unable to
concentrate upon the problems of
business and the days routine with
out unexpected divagations to more

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
As an employe Of the public build

the article written by w. e. Dyer in

very gratifying indeed to know that
this matter has at last been taken up,

and street sweepers appreciate this
very much.

TRUE INDEPENDENCE

Today the world, this country's
world, is bright and clear less be-
cause of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence than because with keen
sagacity Washington foresaw how
little that declaration would secure
to US the fruits of'real independence
unless we kept away from the kind
OF alliance and intrigue that have
again and again deluged Europe
with calamity, and because we have
consistently followed him.

A DANGEROUS TRIP

The Liberty Bell, this country's
most precious relic, starts today for
the Pacific coast to traverse fifteen
States and grace the Panama Pacific
exposition. In its condition it is a
risky and ill considered undertake
ing. The danger of its destruction
by accident or it's further damage by
the jolts and jars of transportation
more than equals the sentimental
advantage of the tour.

A similar turning to the future
marks the expressions OF some OF
the other papers. The Ia Tzu Yu

is quite in keeping with Japanese philo-

FIND new CASES
More Foot and Mouth Disease
Discovered Today.


Another herd of cattle in southern
Kansas affected with the dread foot

day. Information to the effect that q

ty. The entire herd on the White
farm will be slaughtered this evening,

ceived from Taylor Riddle, who is on
the scene of the epidemic combating
the disease in cooperation with fed
eral officials.
State officials are making an effort
to discourage public sales in the state
and in the four southern counties
where the restrictions are rigid1y en-
tied. 1t is expected that this policy
will continue until the disease is COM
pletely stamped out.
Restricted shipments of cattle for
immediate slaughter are being made
in all parts of the state with the au-
thority of the state live stock sanitary
commissioner and federal inspectors
after satisfactory reports upon the
