confidence man rests his case in the
credulity of human nature.
He knows today. as his brother of
the "shell game" knew yesterday,
that the victim" usually is inspired
by a sneaking ambition to do little
trimming on his own part.
When he finally "gets stuck" as
he invariably does, he sets up quite
the loudest ''holler," forgetting that
no one but himself can save him from
the sharpers.
A plain duty rests with the police,
however, to prevent the use Of the
Capitol grounds for any such prac-
tees, in so far as this may be
practical. The sharpers who indulge
in this communicating business prob
ably are known to the police, or could
be known to them.
Certainly such noble buildings as
the Capitol and the Executive Man
sion should not be used as points
between which suckers may be
steercd. If the police know of this
easy-money route, they ought to break
it up. If they are not acquainted, it
is about time they learn about it.
In the last analysis, it behooves
each visitor to the National Capital
to keep close watch on his cash and
his companions, especially those who
casually say Hello" on the streets.
Washington is freer from confidence
men of this type than any other cap
ital in the world, but as long as
man can lose SITS matching pen
MES" every tourist should watch
his step" and his cash.

A Tip to Tourists.

New uses are being found for the
Capitol and the White House. A con-
fidence man picks up" a prospect in
the grounds Of the former, and at
the White House the pair is joined
by a third gentleman.
Somebody then suggests that the
ancient but not honorable game of
"matching pennies" be INDUCED In,
and the stranger to our gates usually
agrees. it would seem, with resulting
loss to himself.
The latest case was that Of sight
seer from Kentucky, who discovered
that his walk up the Avenue ulti-
mately cost him $175.

Press Pays Glowing Tribute
To Taft as Eminent .Dlrist

While he was there, It found fault
with him; after he left, it saw how
unjust 1t had been, and what sports.
manship he had shown in taking its
many hard knocks in good spirit"
The Minneapolis Tribune remarks:
zone can readily understand why Mr..
Taft is not shedding any tears because
he is no longer President. When we
reflect upon the potential grief which
lies in the job. it becomes somewhat
astonishing that so many men crave
it," The Columbia Record empha-
sizes the fact that ''the President
must go it alone and pass on i'm
portant questions, at times. on the
spur of the moment" and the Bloom
ington Paragraph also points to the
isolation of the White House.
Taft is the only President who
was forced into the job says the
Topeka Capital. But for the in
sistence of Roosevelt, Gov. Hughes of
New York would have been the party
choice in 1908, would have been
elected and American history would
have been different story from that
point" The New York Evening Post
calls him "a man of wisdom, a man
clear-Sighted enough to see his own
limitations, yet a man brave enough
to carry on despite his inclinations.
A lovable and useful officer of the

furious waving Of the banner or the

ter Telegram expresses it. LAS
somebody's viceroy he could rule
justly and firmly in accordance with
the mandates of the court above him.
But as a political figure he couldn't
grab, he couldn't hate, he couldn't
wheedle and he couldn't deliver an
enthusiastic kick" And the Boston
Transcript suggests: "If Mr.. Taft
ever had any illusions regarding the
Presidency, which we doubt, they dis
appeared under the campaign of criti-
cism. if not misrepresentation, which
was visited upon him. In his present
position he enjoys at once comfort
and a prestige to which he is fairly

Washington Monument.

Upon a silent Summer night,
1 looked into the Southern sky.
Our Monument, splendid sight,
In solitude stood forth so high.
A tube Of mercury was there,
And marks to measure the degrees
That ranged into the upper air.
I gazed upon them, ill at ease.
1t was a dream. And, after all,
Statistics will not be complete
Until that stately shaft so tall
Is used to show the Summer heat.
