The Tass statement quoted In the
communique said that the Japa-
nese charged affairs In Moscow,
Shuichi Sake, had asserted on Mo-
vember IA that all rumors Of this
pact or OF Japanese German nego-
tiations for an understanding were
without foundation.
However, on Nov. 10, swo days
ago, FIachiro Arita, foreign minister
at Tokyo, informed the Soviet am
basador TO Japan, Constantin Yur-
eneff, that these negotiations were
proceeding with formation OF an
anti-coraniunistic bloc In mind.

Arita denied, however, that the
agreement was against the U. 9.
with whom he insisted Japan
sought only more friendly rela-
tons. Tass then charged that

upon the rational and elegant pleas
ureS Of life.
The first President was partial to
the amusements of the theater, and
attended some five or six times in a
season, more especially where some
public charity was to be benefited by
the performance. The habit was, for
the manager to wait on the President,
requesting him to command play;
the pieces so commanded partook of
but little variety, but must be ad-
mitted to have been in excellent
taste, the School for Scandal and
Every One Has His Fault for the
plays, and of the afterpieces. there
was almost standing order for the
Poor Soldier and 'Wignels Darby.
THE Old American Co, comprising
Hallam and Henry. Harper, Wig
mel, and Old Morris, first played in
1889. in the Theater, John street, and
nothing more truly shows our trans
cendant march to empire than the
contrast between the humble, nay,
barn-like theater which the first
President attended 40 years ago, and
the now various and magnificent tenn
Piles of Thespis, which adorn the now
great and splendid City of New York.
THE company moved with the Gov
ernment to Philadelphia and per-
formed in the old theater Southwark
in which was some scenery, said to
have been painted by the interesting
and unfortunate Maj. Andre) until
the erection of the house in Chestnut
street, where we believe the curtain
fell upon the existence of the last rem
nants of the Old American Co.
"(By particular desire) at the head
of the play bill, it was always an
nounced that the President would at
tend, and on those nights the house
would be crowded from top to bot
tom, as many to see the hero as the
play. Upon the Presidents entering
the stage box with his family, the
orchestra struck up the Presidents
march (now Hail, ColumbiaO, COM
posed by German named Files, in
'89, and called the Presidents march,
in contradistinction to the March Of
the Revolution called Washington'S
march. The audience applauded on
the entrance of the President, but
the pit and gallery were SO truly des-
potic in the early days of the Republic,
that so soon as Hail, Columbia had
ceased, Washingtons march was
called for by the deafening din Of

a hundred voices at once, and upon
its being played, three hearty cheers
would rock the building to its base.
Indeed, five and thirty years ago there
could not be gotten together any
large public assembly without a con-
siderable spice of the Revolution being
among it. The soldiers and sailors
of the War of Liberty abounded in
all public places, and no sooner would
their old Chief appear, than of came
each hat, and the shout Of welcome
resounded, pure, spontaneous, direct
from the heart"
THE young folk of today think they
get all the JOY there is to be had
out of life and that the people in
George Washington's time and earlier
and later as well just simply existed.
But this, of course, is far from the
facts, as those of that mind might
discover by reading a more wholesome
and patriotic class of literature than
that which the average child Of the
present generation is, in some cases at
least, encouraged to feed upon.
Indeed, as early as ITO, we find
a dancing class being taught by a
Mr.. Christian in the neighborhood Of
Mount Vernon, and more especially
at Gunston, the home of the Mason
family, where the classes met and
prepared the young people of the
neighborhood for the assemblies
which were held at Alexandria, and
in all probability. also at Fredericks
burg and Williamsburg.
The last birthday anniversary cele-
bration in which Washington took
part was held at Alexandria on Febru-
ary %. 1899, and the Alexandria
Gazette has this to say:
This day so justly dear to all
Americans was celebrated in this town
in style heretofore unprecedented.
The editor regrets that he does not
possess talents to describe the pro-
ceedings in the manner which they
deserve.
Aurora rose with more than COM
mon splender, as if wishing to con-
tribute to the respect to our hoary
chief. She was ushered in by a
discharge from the Alexandria ar
tillery and a Federal salute from the
armed schooner Neptune, under COM
mand of Capt. Abel White. About

10 O'Clock the following corps met
in the Market Square under the re-
spected commanders whose names are
attached to them: Col. George Deneale
being the officer of the day and Mr.
John WATERBURY.
THE Alexandria Artillery was COM
manded by Capt. William Harper,
Capt. Rogerson's Silver Greys, the
Alexandria Blues, Lieut.. Chaplin; the
Rifiemen, Capt. Alexander Smith; the
Alexandria Dragons. Capt. r. Young;
Fairfax Dragons, Capt. John Simp-
son; Volunteer Dragons, Capt. John
Fitzgerald The last four companies
escorted Gen. Washington into town.
Shortly after the general arrived
he passed the line in review, &C
companied by several friends, after
which three companies embarked on
the Neptune, the Trial and the Mer-
curry as an invading enemy. The
remaining troops marched to the mall
to protect the fort. A sham battle
was fought and landing effected at
RamSay's wharf on King street, and
up toward Fairfax, where there was
a final surrender. These maneuv-
ers were really wonderful. and re-
flected much credit on the combat
ants. The companies then adjourned
to dinner at Mr.. Hilton's, McKnight's, S,
Reno's and Mr.. George Ritter's. The
dinners were elaborate, and the wines
served were such as to please the
most refined tastes. Toasts were
drank at all these banquets. and the
evening closed with a ball at Mr..
Gadsby's, where all the beauty and
fashion Of the countryside assembled.
The ball room was elegantly decorated
and adorned with an illuminated por-
trait of Washington"
1T WAS upon this date also that
Washington gave in marriage at

Mount Vernon his adopted daughter,
Nellie Gusts, to his favorite nephew.
Maj. Lawrence Lewis. The general,
it seems, according to Mr. Gusts,
had no desire for display, and dis
regarding Miss Custis' desire that
he appear in the splendidly embroid-
cred uniform, assigned him by the
Board of General Officers, wore, in
stead the old Continental blue and
buff and the cooked hat with the
plain riband cockade. a type of the
brave old days OF '76. The magnifi-
cent white plumes presented to him
by Maj. Gen. Pickney he gave to the
young bride upon this occasion.
So far as known. the first birth
night ball held in this city took place
at SCOTS Little Hotel on February
%, 1897, and there was also one held
at the Union Tavern, in Georgetown,
on the same evening. The location of
the Little Hotel is said to have been
on the north side of F street, rs feet
east of the corner of Fifteenth street.
Gen. Washington. as is well known,
died on December IA, 1899, and for
this reason the next anniversary of
his death, throughout the entire coun-
try, was given over largely to memo
rial sermons and services. In this
connection Mrs. Thornton, wife of Dr.
Thornton, designer Of the Capitol,
who kept diary of events in Wash
ington, has this to say under date
of February %, 1900:
"A very fine day, but very bad
roads. Rose pretty early, intending
to go to Mr.. McCormick's Church m
New Jersey avenue. After breakfast
Mr.. Peter departed to join his family
in Alexandria. Mr.. and Mrs. Forrest
stopped on their way to George Town.

were going to chapel. we concluded to

late, but time enough to hear part
of the service and the Grafton, spoken
by Mr.. Walsh, one of the college boys,

other, Master Lynch of New York.
About noon We returned home to
dinner, and returned Immediately
after to George Town, where DR.. T.

shew their respect to the late Gen.
Washington, but the society is too
small for them to equal in pomp the
other cities, but they did their best
there were about 1000 people assem-
bled at the church"
THERE was no lessening of enthu-
siasm in these events, at least
for many years, and as late as Febru-
ary %. 1847, we find two large balls
being given in Washington, one called
the National Brthnight Assembly,
held at Carusi's saloon, then at the
corner of Eleventh and C streets (site
now covered by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue) and the "Birthnight
Ball. at Jackson Hall. which stood
until recent years at 339-34l Penn
sylvania avenue.
Both of these dances were largely
advertised and one announcement for
the former event, appearing in the
National Intelligencer, has this to say:

Minnesota'S Governor

Floyd B. Olson, Minnesota's first FarmerLabor
governor, and leader of the party is dead His pass
ing is a severe blow to the FarmerLabor cause, one
from which many believe it may never recover. How
ever it is certain that the loss Of such energetic
and aggressive leader and fighter, must for time
at least be keeny felt especially when 1t occurs dur
ing the progress of campaign.
Governor Olson, brilliant politician, was COM
pleting his third term governor Of Minnesota. He
had risen from poor obscure boyhood the high
est honor which the people of his state could bestow
upon him. He was respected by foe and friend alike
and those who knew him state that he held no
grudges against his adversaries.
The people of the state regardless of political af
fation sincerely regret the passing of Governor
Olson He was without doubt, the states greatest
politician and orator. and the loss Of his influence
and guidance will be handicap in his party circles
He was called in the midst of a most successful
career and while only in the prime Of fe according
to indications had not yet reached the pinnacle Of
success May he rest in peace.

Why, Lack of Moisture?

Drouth conditions again bring forth discussions
of reasons for lack of moisture, and many and var
led the ideas which prevail among those who be-
lieve the situation will continue unless conservation
plans inaugurated very soon
Among the recomm endations offered most COM
monty, is that of dammng the large bitches that
the water be held from it's to the streams
and thence out of the country. Others recommend
that tile the farm be taken up and thereby hold
the moisture on lowlands from which it also
makes its course to the Gulf of Mexico.
There can be little doubt that ditching and thing
has been to extent responsible for the dry
ditions which have prevailed for several years A
farmer in this community sometime ago stated to the
writer that he had paid $500 to tile his farm and for
time he made money from the reclaimed land. To
day he is sorry that it is tiled and would like to take
the thing out, but feels that the cost could not be
made from farming under present conditions Yet, we
understand the tile be effectively closed with lit
tie effort Plug the Tile, and Dam the Ditches,"
should be good slogan for future conservation Of
moisture We have guarantee that conditions will
be better next year hence it behooves everyone to
give this matter consideration.

harvest of those war profits in the
dust storms which have devastated
those war plowed areas.
Had Mr.. Roosevelt qualified that
statement it might have been per-
missable. But he did not and it
stands, flat-footed, unfair state
ment accusing that the American
farmer was swayed only by a desire
to make money out of the suffer-
ings of his fellow men, particularly
his fellow countrymen.
Previous to Americas entry into
the World war the profit motive
was perhaps uppermost in the
minds of some farmers. Who could
blame them? Goodness knows the
poor fellows needed to make lit
tie profit. But if that is the period
Mr.. Roosevelt meant he should
have said So
After the United States had join
ed the Allies who begged, urged
and implored the American farmer
to produce to the utmost? Who pro-
pagandized him in the name of pa
triotism, love of country and high
duty to bring from the earth all it
would give that his nations forces
might save the world for democ-
racy?" The federal government did
that; the government and it's legion
Of agents.
Because he was a patriot the AM
erican farmer responded, worked
far harder and longer than should
be expected of any man, did the job
shorthanded with the women and
children and old folks pitching in,
did all that was asked and more.

Who Will Take Floyd Olson's Place?

Governor Olson's death has given rise to specu-
lation to his possible successor the FarmerLa-
Dor candidate for the office United States Senator
Among the names suggested for appointment by the
FarmerIabor state committee, were: Congressman
Ernest Lundeen, Chief Justice Devaney and Attorney
General Harry Peterson Another rumor have
heard is that Elmer Benson, present United States
Senator, and Farmer-Labor candidate for governor
will be advanced to the candidacy for the United
States Senate, and Hjalmar Petersen who through
the death of Governor Olson was advanced to the
position of chief executive of the state be the guber
material candidate. According to latest bulle-
tins however Senator Benson has refused to run for
any office other than that to which he elected
at the primaries 1t is awkward situation for the
FarmerLabor party for it will take strong opposition
to defeat Theo Christanson.

Dairying, says the Dairymen's
League News, is taking an increas-

has produced 20 to % per cent of
all agricultural income; in 1894
dairying income was more than the
total income from wheat and cot
