A CITY OF HEADQUARTERS

Society is another organization that
has fine home Of it's own.
OF the political ORGANIZATIONS cstab-
lished in Washington the most important
are, OF course, the Democratic and Re-
publican national committees. Each
occupies great suite IN n downtown
Office building and each maintains
force and equipment that is prepared to
do anything except make money. Any
one OF the leaders Of any party who has
Ind any practical experience will tell
you that the national headquarters Of
such an organization should be located
in the Treasury, in one Of the rninr,
or in the Bureau Of Printing and En-
craving where there IL quantity produc-
ton Of bank notes and silvcr and gold
certificates. There is popular idea
that all the chieftains Of the political
armies have TO do IL 10 expend largo
sums Of money. That is a popular
fnllacy. Their principal task--and one
that must be discharged before they
can do anything else-is to raise large
sums OF money, and OF the late years they
have learned that while il may be more
blessed to give than TO receive there is
no widespread laundering for that kind
Of blessrdness.
The Socialist Party also maintains
Offices here, az does aIso that organiza-
ton that is undertaking coalition %
the farmer and labor vote and that may
ultimately take the form Of new party.
The Woman's National Party is repre-
sented in Washington and the or
CARNATIONS that fought for and against
suffrage still maintain headquarters,
although much Of the political activity
of women il now linked up with the
organization work Of the national com
mfttees Of the old established parties.
Greatest Of all the national orgsniza-
tions maintaining headquarters here,
and the one that is popularly supposed
to represent all the people all the time,
is the government itself. II is the coloS-
sal machine and all the others are but
cogs or wheels within wheels On the
! whole il does big things in big way,
and gets them done efficiently, too
although many Of the minor organiza-
tons are obstacles in the way Of IN
functioning properly.
II is this great organization thet hs'
done wonders for Washington, making j
what it should be--the most beautiful
! and the most interesting capital IN th'
/ world.

UNCIvILIZED STRIKE METHODS

One OF the leaders OF the striking
ailway shopmen. In order to encour-
age his fellows. spoke the other day
gloatingly Of the misery which they
were causing. Food was being kept
from the cities. The farmers were
suffering immense losses on their
products, which they could not ship.
Factories and furnaces were closing
The railroads were breaking down. and
soon the whole transportation business
OF the country would be wrecked.

BILLION DOLLAR DINNER.

The proposed "billion-do dinner"
to Senator Smoot, of Utah, should
carry a certain degree Of comfort to
the poor man who can hardly make
both ends meet. 1t proves that fools
are quite as abundant in the million
aire class as among thousand dollar-a
year men. Let us then. thank Heaven
for the habit the stars have of fighting
against Siseras. Let us be grateful
for the fact that even the most slillful
fowlers sometimes spread their nets
openly in the sight of the birds they
wish TO entrap. No political propa-
ganda, however weighty and persua-
sive, could be go effective as this test

applied to business and industry,
would bring forth equally beneficial
results. He said,

INTERESTING PRIMARY
RESULTS,

Notwithstanding the small vote.
due to the surprising apathy in the
registration thus far in the campaign,
the Republican primaries held in New
Castle county. Saturday afternoon, |
were the most interesting held for |
many years. They were marked by |
square. contests between the Senator

headed by Senator Ball. with divided
results. But in the decisive event

notable victory in the First Senatorial
district. this city. where Captain VIII

the State Senate nomination, defeated
Senator James w. Robertson. This
result, however. was not altogether
du Pont victory, as Robertson was
strenuousfy opposed by many Repub-
l,cans. regardless Of their fractional at
tituds, on account OF his hostile ac-
tivity against the new city charter
measure at the Legislative session OF
1871. There is no doubt 1t was this
potent issue that brought about Rob-
srtsons defeat.
