is using his influence to arouse more wide
spread interest in the coming event.
WASHINGTON has suffered enormously
from the industrious defamation by GER
tain members of Congress and others as
to the character of the business men and
citizens generally of the city. said Col
McElrov Yesterday. The worst feature
is that politicians pandering to certain
elements among their constituencies to
boom their own honesty and record for
economy have represented the people OF
Washington in the most untaVorable
Iight-as parasites upon the public
Treasury, who must be headed on and
defeated.
Can Change Opinions.
The very best way to place Washing
ton in its proper light before the whole
country is to have the citizens of Wash
inCton take A warm interest in the COM
ing national encampment and favorably
impress those who come here. The vet
Grams of the Grand Army of the Re
public their families and friends, are OF
more than ordinary political activity and
influence. They have a pride and sense
of proprietorship in the National Capital
exceeding that Of any other class of citi-
zens More than half of them fought for
the safety of the National Capital; 1t was
their dominant thought for four long
wears of stress and storm, and they
fought their greatest battles all within
a radius Of less than seventy-five miles
of Washington.
Ever since then they have looked upon
Washington with something Of ownership,
and a pride exceeding that Of the or
binary citizen who has a sentimental de-
sire for the development and beautihca-
ton Of the capital OF the greatest nation
in the world.
Coming down to purely sOrdld view
OF the situation, it would be the best pos
sible advertisement for Washington to
give the attendants upon the fOrty-ninth
national encampment, which will be held
here probably in October, a generous and
satisfactory entertainment with all of
the citizens joining in it.

THE DAYS OF OLD.

Human nature is peculiar as it deals
with the question of war. Law-mak-
ing bodies in every country, save
Germany, debate and fume over APP
fore the war comes.
But when the declaration has been
made, too much money can not be
spent. The greatest fnanciers of the
country are placed at work devising
plans for money-and more money.
The United States faces this pecul-
lar question One of the greatest
presidents which our republic has
ever had has ventured a plan of ma
tional preparedness, and even within
his own party there comes haggling,
delay and discomfort
Striking statements were made by
Senator Benjamin r. Tillman, of

SCHOOL TEACHER
ANAEMIC RUNDOWN, NERVOUS
HOW SHE RECOVERED.

There are so many cases like this
right here in Americas that we are
publishing this interesting letter with
the hope that some of our customers
will try Vinol and get the same happy
result that Miss Baez did.
Key West, Flat am a teacher and
mecame anaemic, nervous, rundown,

nervous feeling that made me a bur-

appetite, could sleep all night and it
built me up so l have the ambition to

The reason Vinol was so successful
III this case is because it is a consti-
tutional remedy that goes to the seat
OF trouble. The peptonate of iron con-
taained in Vinol enriches and revival

South Carolina, in his address on the
manufacture of armor in the senate
Monday. He called "a spade a spade, ="
a1d casually paid his respects to
William Jennings Bryan and Theodore
Roosevelt.
But the concluding remarks of
Senator Tillman are powerful-here
is what he said:
II wish to emphasize and call spec
ial attention to what the Secretary
says about the amount that we could
have saved all these years if an armor
factory had been authorized long ago
$50, Senators, there are no two
sides to this question, no room for
cussion-nothing for debate to
hang on. Nothing but brazen effront-
cry and unbridled greed, aided by a
revival of corruption in Washington
can delay the passage of this BILL and
l hope, as l have said already, that
it will become law inside of thirty
days.
II once saw an Appropriation made
IL both Houses of Congress at the
opening of the Spanish-American War
of $50,0O0,000, and it was done inside
Of two hours. Democrats and Repub-
licans were tumbling over one anoth-
er in patriotic effort to give Presi-
dent Mckinley full power. Times now
are not like they were then, but the
danger is even greater. Will Senators
rise and do their duty, or will they

CONFIRMS AFTER ALL.

THE mills of the gods grind slow
so does the work of our government
1t grinds sure-that is, so far so good
A more or less humorous example is
the fact that the appointment of Rob,
ert Lansing, the great secretary OF
state, has been confirmed by the SEN

Congressional Record, bringing up the
rear of the last proceedings of the SEES

sition in a remarkable manner. He is

A FOREIGN LEGION.

In every war the foreign element in
the country who swears allegiance to
the nation where they are making their
home forms quite a formidable array.
In the early days of the present Eu-
ropean WAR the news dispatches had
a great deal to say concerning the
French Foreign Legion.
Another striking fact of the news
was the entry into the army of many
criminals and bad men," of whom it
is said they made good fighters.
The idea has been advanced in the
United States that the convicts in the
federal penitentiaries be used for man
uafcturing supplies for the nation Ma
tional defence has presented a puz-
cling question and many means have
been advanced for carrying plans into
effect.
Along the lines of the use of con-
vfcts, the Augusta Chronicle has the
following editorial:
Attorney General Gregory reports
that the construction work with which
federal prisoners have been occupied
at Atlanta and Leavenworth is about
completed, and asks congress for au-
tjority to utilize the prison labor in
making goods for the government.
He says the prisoners should be
rendered self-sustaining if the con-
victs were utilized in manufacturing
furniture, mail bags, blankets, Irvine,
ETC., for the postoffice department. AS
a part of this system, he advocates
paying the prisoners wages and send
ing their earnings to their families, if
they have families.
Congress may balk at TINS plan. al
though it's hard to see any good reas-
on why men who are imprisoned for
breaking Uncle Sans laws shouldn't
mack things that Uncle Sam needs in
his business. If there is any Disco
ton, however, to using prison labor to
produce postoftice supplies, there's an
other important department of govern
ment activity where such objections
could not hold. That is national de-
Tense preparations.
The need of great quantities of mil
itary supplies is recognized by all the
experts as one of the primary requis-
ties of preparedness. The War Col
lege, as part of it's proposed army
system, advocates spending $3.50, 000,-
600 for reserve materials and sup
plies in the fiscal year. Even if the
army is not greatly increased, there
will have to be a great accumulation
of such stores.
Why then shouldn't the federal pris-
oners be pressed into service to help
manufacture army supplies?

THE SHOPPERS.

Within Christmas bart / stood
At eve and watched the shoppers go,
AS though in bounds of brotherhood,
adown the long aisles to and
fro,
One kindly thought, throughout the
throng,
To check the tide and overflow
OF toll that later will prolong
The weary hours that shop girls
know
In Christmas week, when, in throng
and crush
'Belated shoppers through these aisles
will rush.
And so these thoughtful shoppers go
Upon loves happy errands here,
Their eager faces all aglow
With foregleams of the Christmas
cheer.
All hearts seem touched with kindly
thought.
For love makes chill December
drear
The happiest month old Time has
brought,
The browning gladness of the year,
When in all hearts the self desires are
still,
Charmed to a universal pure good
will.
With thoughts attuned to Christmas
mood,
Out on the crowded street | went,
But soon l stopped where children
With eager faces rapt, intent,
Before window all af1ame
With Toyland's Christmas wonder
blent;
Such joy into their faces came
I could but look nwonderment;
Gould scarce have given to them more
delight.

And as l look the centuries old
Softly swung backward sphere by
sphere,
And brought again the Age of Gold
When listening Earth to Heaven was
near,

o happy children gazing there!
You bring again, that wondrous night
When on the charmed midnight
clear
Some shepherds on a green Judean
hill
Heard angel greetings glad that echo
still!
