picted by Films in Cities of

Washington as a "city beautiful" as a
convention city. as home city of many
attractive residences, as a center of au-
tomobile tourist parties and as a thr1y-
ing business metropolis is going to be
advertised extensively throughout the
west and south during the next couple
OF months
That this advertising will bring thou
san of guests here for the inaugura-
ito. for the Confederate veterans re-
union and induce the people elsewhere
TO make more frequent journeys to their
national home city, is the belief of In
sugural Chairman Robert N Harper.

South Bend, Ind. advising him that q
big exhibition on city planning is 10 be
held in that city and asking il the

The Disappointing failure of the presidential primary to Indicate
clearly any Republican nominee has led the Literary Digest to try
another method of accomplishing this result AS i impracicable to
interrogate all Republican voter or this question, We have taken the
ext best course by questioning Republican and Progressive members
of state legislatures, O rs the conviction that they know the wishes of the
voters in their districts and will represent them fairly we'll in the re-
plies. The legislative districts are smaller and more numerous than
the congressional districts, and their members ane now at home, since
most of these assemblies have adjourned, while the congressmen re-
main in Washington For these reason a poll of the legislatures seems
likely o reflect the will of the voter truly than a poll of con-
gressmen We have received 1900 replies, o 500 more than the total
number of delegates in the Republican, national convention. Many Of
the writer's will probably be members of that body. Their verdict
therefore, is most pertinent and timely. 1t will 10 surprise many to
know that the leaders. of the poll are Justice Hughes, Colonel Roose-
welt and ex-Secretary Root but the vote for each is ofin interest. Justice
HUGHES appears with 7S ballots, Colonel Roosevelt with US and Mr.
Root with 1873. Favorie II are still supported in their home states

WIVES ASK PAY RAISE.

The mechanics helpers in the Brooklyn navy yard are o gong
out on strike for better wages. But their wives are taking up the mat
ter with the navy yard officials, insisting that SIS per day is not
enough for n honest workingmans family to live IN properly.
The women take the ground that although their husbands earn the
wage the wives are the ones who spend it. They are economic experts
in making that $225 feed, clothe and otherwise take car of a given
number of human beings. As a body OF economic experts, they de-
mand a hearing and consideration of their difficulties.
This is n enirently' reasonable position to take, and thu officials
recognize it. One said, however, that "a the men Were now getting as
much as va paid for similar work outside the government employ,

SOMETHING TARIFF NEVER DID.

Comes the news from some OF the mining camps OF Colorado that
with the increased price of silver there has been a porportionate advance
I'm the miners pay, in some instances as much as fifty cents a day,
which recalls to mind that when silver was in its heydey, a generation
ago, men working in the silver mines of Colorado. Montana and Ne
vada received higher wages than those of any other vocation. And
should silver again reach the heights it did at that time, as now looks
probable, big wages will again be paid
The rehabilitation of the old silver mines can much to the west
and will go a long way i'm setting the labor problems Of the big cities
The unemployed of the latter places cannot be induced under any cir
cumstances to go into the farming sections and go to work, but the
lure OF the mining camps lands them every time.
