While the "hu"


epidemic which -
swept the country but a short time
ago was not so severe as the former
outbreak. it left behind it thousands
of people who were weakened and
rundown.
In just such conditions as these
Father Johns Medicine has proven
of greatest value.
It's rich food elements are so sci
entifcally prepared that it builds
new strength and health without
imposing any extra burden upon the
weakened digestive system. Father
Johns Medicine is true tonic, be-
cause it does not stimulate, but ac-
tually builds new strength through
added nourishment in form most
easily taken up. 1t is safe for all
the family to take, because it is
guaranteed free from alcohol or
dangerous drugs.

Archives Building and Others.

A national archives building will be
erected at Washington, but the imme-
date outlook for its construction is
not so promising as one would have
it. The need for this structure is gen.
orally admitted. 1t has long been
planned TO set up at the Capital a hall
Of records, or an archives building, in
which to keep government records not
required by the government depart
ments in the ordinary course Of their
work. In the archives building rec
ords Of the greatest value could be
be drawn on as needed and the pres
sure on space in many public Offices
would be lessened.
1t takes a long time to get affirma-
tive action by Congress on a proposal
to construct a public building at
Washington, even when the need for
such a building is universally admit
ted. The President Is believed to IA
vor an archives building, and it is the
understanding that he also favors the
construction Of new buildings for the
departments Of State and Justice be.

Mall and 14th and 18th streets on

The Paris Divorce.

The news warrants one thinking
American divorce center. Day by day
one reads items to the effect that Mrs.
X, well known American heiress or
daughter of the celebrated millionaire.
has been granted a divorce at Paris,
and that Mr.. T., rich and and prom
inent American clubman, yachtman
and tennis player. has divorced his
wife at Paris. \ day or so ago the ca
BILE carried a story which referred TO
Paris as a popular divorce resort for
Americans. and gave the names OF
half dozen Americans who had just
obtained divorce DEGREES. What in
ducement the divorce laws of France
offer beyond those of certain American
states Is not mentioned in the news,
but they seem to present superior at.
fractions to certain restless and dis
contented souls. Perhaps there is
some style about the Paris divorce that
is lacking in the homemade article:' 1t
may be ''chic" and more becoming to
the applicant for divorce. 1t may be
quicker and cheaper. Foreign labor
may be underselling American labor
in the divorce industry. Perhaps an
imported divorce with a French label
is more impressive than domestic
divorce. At any rate, an increasing
number Of Americans seem to be ac.
quiring the habit of getting their di.
vorces at Paris. 1t was not long age
that a domestic Reno divorce was
thought the most fashionable thing In
that line. but the Paris divorce ap
parently now has the happier sound
1t is recalled that once upon a time
our beloved, historic and elder sister
city. Alexandria, cut something of a
swath as divorce metropolis, but it is
feared that with fashionable Ameri.
cans the Paris divorce will be con
sidered smarter than any to be OBJ
tanned at home.

Coal Meetings Resumed.

Specific request by the Federal Coal
Commission for a resumption of the
direct negotiations between the an
thracite operators and miners union
has resulted in an arrangement for
them to meet Monday morning at At
lantic City to resume the conferences
which were broken off on the 27th of
July. The commission in its note re-
questing this course calls attention to
the fact that although the contract
expires on the 31st instant, and only
two weeks remain, no meetings have
been held and no efforts have been
! made to effect an arrangement assur-
1t asks. therefore. for an immediate
conference to consider and report to
the commission whether an agreement
can be reached on the matters now in
dispute and a new contract negotiated,
or whether in the event of failure to
agree plan can be adopted to assure
continuance of mining.
In compliance with the request Of
the commission the operators and
, union leaders will meet on Monday.
and will proceed from the point at
which they suspended conferences on
the 2Tth of July. There is no assur-
ance, of course, that they will agree.
But since the adjournment of the 27th
certain developments have occurred.
The federal commission has inter-
vened and a mutual waiver of check
offs has been effected, though with an
unfortunate reaction of dispute over
the scope and meaning of the waivers.
The case is appreciably nearer the
possibility of agreement than it was
when the conference adjourned in
July.
One of the new factors of impor-
tance in the case is the development
of feeling on the part of the public
that there can be no tolerance Of a
strikemaking stubbornness on either
side. People demand coal. Coal is to
be had if mines are worked. There is
no physical reason against their opera
tion. Only insistence upon a particu
lar form of working agreement stands
in the way of continued production.
Suspension of mining would mean
widespread suffering, with no gain to
anybody. If the miners and the opera
tors cannot agree. the public feels, the
government must insufe continued
production.
Refusal of arbitration to settle dis
puted points will bring universal pub
lie condemnation upon the side which
thus blocks the way. That fact may
operate to effect an agreement at the
conference which begins on Monday.

Relations With Cuba.

When the United States interviewed
between Spain and Cuba and, after
short war, defeated the European
power and rescued the island from its
authority, it gave it full independence
as republic. One condition was at
tached by the act of March >. 1901,
which was later embodied in treaty
negotiated between the United States
and Cuba, proclaimed July >, 1904, to
the effect as follows:
That the government of Cuba con-
Sents that the United States may
exercise the right 10 intervene for the
preservation of Cuban Independence

property and individual liberty, and
for discharging the obligations with
respect to Cuba imposed by the
treaty of Paris on the United States.
now to be assumed and undertaken
by the government of Cuba.
Under this provision the United
States has once interviewed to restore
order in Cuba, and has, within recent
times, sent to the island representa-
tive to regulate fiscal affairs. who has
since become the ambassador of this
government Now condition mas de-
veloped which may lead to further in
tervention. The Cuban government
menace established American interests
in the island through the virtual con-
f1scation of railway lines and port IA
cilities. Furthermore, it has against
the protest of this government estab-
lished lottery system. A loan was
negotiated in the United States by
Cuba under an understanding reached
between the American amba ssador
and the Cuban authorities to the ef-
feet that there should be a general re-
form of the administration and the
correction of practices believed to
have been responsible for widespread
graft and abuse of power. One specific
stipulation of the loan arrangement
was that the lottery should be aban-
doned.
These circumstances have been re-
ported to and are now under con-
sideration by this government, and
the question has been raised whether
the United States is justified in max
ing the strongest representations to
Cuba in protest. with the possibility of
another Intervention. Such a course
would be highly dstasteful to the
United States. 1t does not desire to
interfere with the domestic affairs of
Cuba. But it is in a position of re-
sponsibility for that republic. 1t must
protect the interest of its own ma
tionals. It's imposed and accepted con-
ditions upon which the Cuban loan was
based have been disregarded. Short of a
complete abandonment of all RESPONSE
bility and treaty-given rights of super
vision and corrective control it is hard
to see how the United States can alb
stain now from effective protest.

Justice departments. Demand for re-
trenchment in public expenditures is
insistent. Cost of government main
tenance is being cut, and it is difficult
to have the government enter upon
new works. The matter of these pro-
posed buildings at Washington is tied
up with the need for government
buildings in other parts of the coun-
try.
With an omnibus public buildings
support for local reasons, there would
probably be no opposition to several
new government buildings at the Capt.
tai, but an omnibus buildings bill
and would call down much adverse
criticism of the administration at this
time. 1t is said that the President is
opposed to general building bill, as
it would require an appropriation esti-
mated at between 10000. 900 and
5000, 900 900. No one can foresee how
high the figure would go. Chairman
Langley of the House committee on
public buildings has intimated. ac-
cording to news reports, that unless a
general public buildings bill is put be-
fore the next Congress there will be
little chance for the passage of bill
providing for an archives building or
for any single government building.

Presidents and Horses.

1t is announced that President Cool
idge will take up horseback riding as
his principal outdoor exercise. 1t is
not known that the President is a
horseman, but only small proportion
OF persons who ride horses can be
classed as horsemen, using that word
to describe a man skilled in the art of
riding. Perhaps the President is not
a good rider, but he will get no less
exercise because Of that fact. He will
probably get more.
No doubt in his boyhood in New
England the President rode horse,
but that section of the country is
more famed for harness horses than
for saddle horses, though in New Eng
land the trotting horse, principally the
Morgan horse descended from a
thoroughbred, was used under the
saddle. In very old times in America
trotting horses were raced under the
saddle, before the practice came In OF
nitching them to high-wheeled sulkies
The art Of riding seems not to have
been as much practiced in New Eng
land as in the country around Wash
ington. Certainly 1t was more talked
Of here than in New England. Time
was in the Potomac country that to
say of a young man that "he is fine
rider" was to pay him a splendid COM
pliment. A young fellow often better

the manner of taking the fence or
controlling the horse that counted. 1t
was assumed that the rider should
keep his seat.
1t is hoped that the President, if
not already a good rider. will become
one, and that he will find pleasure in
the exercise. Several Presidents have
gone in for riding. and some were not
notably successful President Harding
rode for some time. and President
Taft was provided with a horse that
could carry him, but no pictures seem
to have been made of President Taft
taking the jumps in Rock Creek Park.
President Roosevelt was the best
known rider among modern Presi-
dents, and he was an object of interest
to photographers. He was generally
acclaimed as good rider, but some
men used to say that although he
stuck to his horse he was not an ac-
complished horseman. They criticized
his hands. feet and his general seat"

body and everything.
President jefferson used to ride
along the roads Of the early Capital.
President Grant as young man and
Army officer was accounted a splendid
rider. but when he came to the presi-
dency he took TO harness horses, and
d team Of trotters which he drove HIM
self was a familiar sight to Washing
ton people. President Arthur liked
harness horses, and his carriage and
pair were much admired. President
Cleveland never ranked as a horse
man, but during his administration he
bought Z pair of carriage horses. His
seal browns were celebrated in
Washington and on the country roads.

Until William Jennings Bryan an
nounced that 1T was thumbs down

voted to the declaration of Senator
Underwood that at last his hat was in

served to focus attention among other
things on the fact that Underwood
was to make his campaign as a south

against going south of the Mason and
DIXON line TO select q presidential

does exist in some regions of the
north. Mr.. Underwood confronts the

cal issues; and even If his candidacy
