candidates for Congress in every dis trir where the regular Republican candidate does not openly support Col Roosevelt is a call to brattle to rvpry member of the House of Representatives on the Republican side Many of the members of the House were doubtless hoping that they might be able to run for reelection without committing themselves either for President Taft or for Col Roosevelt drawing the support of Republicans who voted the regular party ticket and those who voted the third party ticket It was inevitable that before the campaign got well under way the candidates for Congress would have to take their stand one way or the other If neither President Taft nor Col Roosevelt forced the issue annoying constituents would have been sure to do it by asking whether the candidate favored the things that Taft stands for or the things that Roosevelt stands for Moreover there will be two platformsa Taft platform and a Roosevelt platform Naturally the candidates for Congress would have to run on some sort of platform and they would sooner or later be compelled to make a choice The candidates for Congress bhould take the matter philosophically They might just as well get the agony over now as to wait until tha campaign is at its height Probably the water wont seem so cold on either side of the pond once the plunge is taken The third party convention will undoubtedly clear the atmosphere There is suspense just now but once the bull moose convention expresses itself definitely as to whether there will be a complete breakaway from the Republican party with distinct State tickets or whether an attempt will be made to bring about fusion here and there all those persons who are now sitting anxiously on the fence will have to make the jump to one side or the other It is evident that the approaching campaign will not be an Alphonse and astou affair Women and children should be removed from the scene before the carnage begin ognized that a special committee was appointed by thd chamber 61 cod exceeding the supply and that the hdemand is forcing top notch prices there will be a rush to get In OH Ulei merce to Induce the large corporations good thing and with the increasing And other fmjSortftnt Itfsiriea enter1 prises to allow their employes who belongbelong to the guard to attend the fortb coming maneuvers without taking the time from their usual vacations This Is ah example whfeh ipay well tte brought home to the business employers of the District Many of then cheerfully cooperate witfi the movement and encourage their employes to participate in the annual training It would be unfortunate if there ere any exception to the rule or that a single guardsman had to attend thfe exercises at a personal sacrifice If a pressing need for these citizen soldiers should arise the favor shown them wonld be repaid a hundredfold supply the prices ought to drop agafn THE STANLEY REPORT Wall street scarcely flicked an eye when it heard that the Stanley report had been filed in the House at last As If in cynical derision of the announcement that the report was forthcoming the speculators sent Steel up a few points the preceding day And the fractional decline that followed the filing of the report was frankly accredited not to the woeful tidings of the report but to profit taking sales The indifference of the business world to the slaughtering attack of the congressional committee with regard to the steel corporation is the result of the general realisation that the report about which everybody but Congress had been fully Informed was Intended for political purposes only Even Wall street which acts sometimes like a frightened fawn has sense fnough to know that Congress has too much sense to swallow the mixed dose that was prepared by the Stanley committee The bill which proposes that no man who is a director in a mining corporation shall be a director in a transportation company would make changes in the financial world that would shake the market from stem to stern forcing some of tho ablest financiers off boards which sadly need their services The bill which puts the burden of proof of the reasonableness of any technical restraint of trade on the defendant is another revolutionary recommendation But everything that the report contains was known to the business world long ago There is nothing new in it and nobody is worried If it is any consolation to the majority of the committee to know that their recommendations are regarded as radical they should not be denied that assurance The report is radical It is however very much like an overdose of poison Cases have been known where men bent on suicide took such a large dose of poison that It neutralized itself and did no harm That seems to be the effect of the Stanley report THE WORLD GOING MAD So many remarkable opinions have been handed down lately by the scientific gentlemen who are attending the eugenics congress in London that a startled world has by this time become acclimated as it were to the freak theories propounded there and the announcement made by Dr Forbes Winslow that 300 years hence a ma jority of the inhabitants of the world action the Battleship fight If the sentiment in favor of two battleships is sfrong enough to force the Democratic leaders to consent to a third caucus at which one battleship will be proposed as a compromise it should be strong enough to force the acceptance of the two battleship program It is not one battleship but two that the public demands While half a loaf is better than none at all there is no need for considering such compromises If the majority of Democrats who opposed the two battleship program now admit that the navy needs strengthening they admit everything for which the advocates of two battleships have been contending The strong Tammany resolution favoring two battleships is one of the indications of the general feeling throughout the country on this important subject Telegrams are pouring in on the members of the House and it has been noted that they all favor two battleships The political economists in the House will not be yielding to the public demand nor will they be placating criticism by adding one battleship to the navy The navy should be kept up to full efficiency and strength In order to do this it is necessary that there should be provided at least two battleships a year until the Panama Canal is opened What the Democrats must now decide is whether they are to abandon this policy in direct defiance of the platform adopted at Baltimore and in disregard of public sentiment or yield gracefully to what seems now to be the inevitable The least that the new caucus can do is to liberate all members of the party from instructions so that they can vote according to their feelings of patriotism without having to ignore or override caucus SCARCITY OF CATTLE li seldom happens that an evil and he remedy for it are announced at the same time hut this seems to be ilie case with the great rise in the price oi licet at the Chicago packing Innixs While Charles Jones pres idi ni of the live stock exchange was deploring the fact no encouragement is given by Congress to the breeding of cartle and that consequently as a result of the inability of the packers to supply the increasing demand for meat the price of that commodity would go higher Dr Doolittle the pure food head of the government chemistry bureau was suggesting the remedy This is Dr Doollt tles plan If beef Is too expensive eat beans Beans are the best substitute for beef One should not eat meat more than once daily anyhow depending of oourse on the physical condition and work of the person The harder a man works and the lower his wages the greater his need for meat That is the unfortunate part of it But beans are high in yrotein percentage too Other good substitutes for meat are peas all kinds of nuts cheese and milk While the remedy suggested makos the scarcity of meat seem less tragic it does not altogether fit the needs of the situation Persons who feel the need of meat and like to eat it will not be satisfied with beans or peas or nuts or any other substitute President Jones makes this suggestion Irroreaslng population due to immigration crowding of people Into cities opening by Congress of Western breeding and graning lands to settlement abandonment of cattle raising In corn growing States and selling of calves for slaughter by dairyman have caused all the trouble and the present high price for meat The only way to meet the situation Is for Congress or the fltfttfl legislatures to take some action to encourage cattle raising Let us hope that even though Congress and the legislatures take no action to encourage cattle raising the situation will adjust itself As soon as it becomes known that there is a scarcity of cattle the number of cattle growers will increase Farmers will soon take to raising cattle if they know they can make more money The gool old law of supply and demand will work out in this situation as it riMf Jfl Others When it becomes mer4lly known that the demand is will be insane loses much of its effect According to Dr Winslow an era of lunacy is at hand At first glance this looks like a fine bit of news for the alienists who might be expected to wax fat In a few years under conditions so auspicious but upon second consideration one readily sees that this assumption is a fallacy In a state of society in which a majority of all persons were insane it will be perceived that the minority would be hustled off to the padded cells and that the sane asylums would be overcrowded Under such conditions who would be the first to be thrown into straitjackets Would the alienists escape Not unless these distinguished experts reversed themselves and by their uncanny reasoning convinced the juries that they were insane and hence entitled to all the prerogatives including liberty and fat fees And indeed It should not be difficult for them to be absolutely convincing on this point seeing that their cae is more than half proved already With one half the world insane and he other half incurably sane who would be the judge as to a mans mental equilibrium Those persons addicted to sleeping in the moonlight and hence now considered to be unbalanced would promptly jug such weak minded citizens as persisted in permitting the sun to shine upon them in their slumbers Lunatics would conduct proceedings against such as were suspected of being normal Genius would be In the saddle and commonplace mortals would rot behind the bars However Dr Winslow says that the balance of brains will not be upset for 300 years and what do we care about what happens In the year 2212 Nothing The problem we are wrestling with is Whos loony now In obtaining the agreement of the leaders to a third caucus the bat tleship Democrats have merely won the first skirmish Having the advan tage on their side they should insist upon compliance with the public demand Hereafter New York policemen will learn to look before they loot GERMAN COUNT HEIR TO FRENCH DUKEDOM TO SEE JTJNGEE ROAD OPENED Corrupt politics Is almost as corrupt as the community in whicJi It prevails However there will be no need of any formal notification after the bull moose convention has been held Johnson to be chairman of the bull moose convention Why we thought he had retired from the ring Claude Grahame White and his bride are still honeymooning in the clouds and havent had a falling out yet Col Cecil Lyon says that Texas is for Teddy but can he deliver the goods any better than he did at Chicago Becker In his dell answers all questions with Ive nothing to say He wasnt a policeman all those years for nothing Take your Wilson straight advises the Springfield Republican But It goes down better with one of those Marshall chasers LEAVE FOR THE GUARDSMEN The District National Guard is preparing to go into its annual encamp ment Elaborate arrangements are being made for the maneuvers and the members will go moreover with the inspiring prospect in mind that before long they may have an armory which will serve as a model for every other city in the country The out look for the citizen soldiers of the District is brighter than it has been for years The activity in advance of their departure for Harpers Ferry coincides with an increasing interest In the national guard all over the country This is due in part of course to the fact that the summer encampments are now on or have but recently been held in practically all the States But even beyond that immediate influence there seems to be a general awakening to the duty which the public owes to the great volunteer army which not only stands at all times behind the police power but as shown in our latest resort to arms against a foreign enemy may be soon prepared for Bterner service In New York this public obligation to the national puard la so fully reo Secretary Adee eays that Esperanto Is the official tongue of hades which seems to definitely fix Its status as a dead language It begins to look as if the Democratic party would have to be dredged out deepened and widened to permit It to float a couple of battleships It may be true that feminine styles for the past few years have called for the use of less dress goods but no married man suspects It when the bills come In Among other things to which Woody Wilson would like to apply downward revision are some of those deeply philosophical books he wrote when he was a boy Walter Johnson plays no favorites sadly observes the Detroit News The trouble Is that after Walter has played em a few times theyre no longer favorites The manufacturers who are oomplain Ing that current feminine styles have closed their petticoat factories should get their machinery busy turning out Turkish towel bats Mayor Lew Shank of Indianapolis having announced his candidacy for governor of Indiana defines the campaign Issue as the price of potatoes vs Mary of the vine clad cottage It Is reported that the Minnesota and Dakota wheat crop will total 265000000 bushels the largest on record We shall shortly hear that the price of bread is going up because Its so expensive to haul all that flour With the government shipping 1120000 to El Paso for the support of refugees within the past two days il is beginning to be apparent to the rest of the country just how profitable these Mexican revolutions really are The director of the Philadelphia historical pageant is looking for a one legged descendant of Peter Stuyvesant to represent the eld governor In the parade We presume the hospital expenses will be paid if one can be found who la willing to sacrifice limb Arriving in New fork today from Europe on board the Amerika Is Count Helie de Talleyrand Perlgord who must not be confounded with that other Helle de Taileyraffld PeTlgord who is the Duke 6t Talleyrand and of Perigord as well as the husband of Bonl de Castellanes divorced Wife Anna Gerald Ootmt HeMe due here on the Ameftta Is not a Frenchman but a Prussian and is the elder of the two sons of Count Archambault de Talleyrand Perlgord who fought on the German side in the war of 1870 71 as a colonel of Prussian cavalry much to the disgust of his elder brother the Marquis Maurice de TalleyrandTalleyrand Perlgord Due de Dino The latter who fought on the French side was gazetted to a knighthood of the Legion of Honor for conspicuous gallantry under fire but he declined to accept the distinction on the ground that his only brother was In the ranks of the enemy and that he would be perfectly satisfied If his own record could be held to obliterate the disgrace brought upon the family In France by Count Archafn baults conduct As the Due de Dino has no son either by his first and divorced American wife Miss Bessie Curtis of Boston now known as the alarqulse de Talleyrand Perlgord nor yet by his second and equally divorced American consort who died two weeks ago as Mrs Allele Ldvingston Sampson in Paris both his marqulsate and his dukedom of Dino will go on his death to his Prussian brother Archara bault and afterward to young Cdunt Helle just 30 years of age arriving In this country today Why Archambanlt In a Prussian If Count Archambault became a Prussian instead of remaining French like his elder brother it was because he inherited a large portion of the German property of his grandmother the first Duchess de Dino by birth a Princess of Courland and of Sagan The duchess elder son Louis inherited her Sagan property which is now held by German trustees for the 3 year old son of Anna Gould and the Due de Sagan and of Talleyrand and Perigord The little boy is by the kaisers consent fourth Due de Sagan and a serene highness the latter a predicate which neither of his parents enjoys THe first Duchess de Dinos other German estates went to her younger son Alexander Due de Dino who on dying left his German property to his younger son Archambault and his French estates to his older son Maurice Both Archambault and Maurice are grandsons of Edmond de TalleyTand Perlgord nephew of the great statesman Edmonds wife the first Duchess de Dino above mentioned did the honors at the house of her husbands uncle the statesman throughout the last 25 years of his life and was his most devoted confidante friend and counselor She brought about his reconciliation during his last Illness to the Roman Catholic Church which he had quitted at the time of the revolution as Bishop of Autun

a daughter of the French house of Gontaut Blron Will Buy Canadian Land Young Lord Vernon who has left England for a stay at Ottawa as a guest at Rideau Hall proposes to devote some of the money obtained by the disposal of his Derbyshire estates to the acquisition of land in Canada following the example in this respect of the Duke of Sutherland and of many other members of the British peerage who resent the fiscal burden placed on large landowners in England by the chancellor of the exchequer Lloyd George and the present liberal administration Lord Vernon head of his house Is half an American his mother being a daughter of the late Francis Lawrence of New York The widowed Lady Vernon has long been an Invalid and her two boys Lord Vernon and his younger brother as well as his

Chester They settled at Haddon Hall in Derby shire over 600 years ago and one of them Sir Henry Vernon Lord of Haddon was governor and treasurer to Prince Arthur elder brother of Henry VIII Arthur spent much of his time at Haddon Hall with his governor who was the grand father of that Dorothy Vernon whose elopement with Sir John Manners furnished so picturesque a romance and carried Haddon Hall Into the family of Its present owner the Duke of Rutland OriRin of the Prefix Venables The name of Venables prefixed to the patronymic of Vernon by means of a hyphen comes to Lord Vernon by the marriage of one of his ancestors Sir Henry Vernon member of parliament for Staffordshire with the granddaughter and heiress of Sir Peter Venables thelast of the Venables lords of Klnderton The son of this marriage was elevated to the peerage as Lord Vernon by George II and the barony of Klnderton was likewise revived in his favor In view of the fact that he had Inherited all the extensive Venables estates This first Lord Vernon married the granddaughter of Lord High Chancellor Viscount Hareourt and sister of Simon Earl Hareourt who dying without Issue the earldom became extinct but the family estates devolved upon the second of his sisters sons Edward Vernon archbishop of York who assumed In obedience to his uncles will the name of Hareourt In lieu of that of Vernon Louis Hareourt

that Postmaster General Prink Hitchcock contributes a detective story to contemporaneous literature but did yesterday when he forwarded to Congress The trail of three trunk or who got the postage stamps The stdry Is in one volume and suitable for light summer reading It is a stirring tale of tha reason why Edgar Allen Jr postmaster at Richmond Vtt should be relieved from accounting for 1788 worth of two cent stamps stolen from his postofflee in March 1910 The story is a thriller and carries the reader over seven or eight States Detectives disguised as baggage smashers and otherwise figure frequently The tale revolves around the desperate attempt of Edward Fay and Richard Harris to get away with the swag in three trunks and the trail of the trunks which led to the discovery of the culprits the return of part of the booty and prisdn cells for the burglars The postmaster is technically responsible for the partial loss It has been the custom of Congress to make good the losses of bondsmen in such cases NO APPEAL IN FOOD CASES OLD WARSHIP SOLD AS JTJNX Vessel of Memories Unpleasant to Many Naval Officers Now Off Duty Another relic cf the famous old wooden navy of the United

Final There is no appeal In pure food matters from a decision of the referee board of the Department of Agriculture to what Is known as the three secretaries board composed of the Secretaries of the Treas ury Commerce and Labor and Agriculture according to an opinion rendered by Attorney General Wickersham This entirely changes the practice of the past when proprietors or manufacturers of foods or drugs declared deleterious by the referees board have appealed to the three secretaries The Attorney General holds that the province of the three secretaries is to make rules and regulations and they have no power to review an action of the Secretary of Agriculture based upon the conclusions of the referee board TRAIN MORE THAN MILE LONG Three Engines Handle 133 Cars on Way to Mahoning Yards

urged to accept the gubernatorial nomination came to Washington yesterday to confer with the President and hher Ohio Republicans He brought encouraging news Mr Daugherty said that Judge Dillon withdrawal was a anrprise und a disappointment The nomination will not go begging said Mr Daugherty But the man nominated should be a man willing to run on only one ticket ahd that the regular Republican ticket This la a contest for principle and not for men The campaign hasnt begun When personal tufmoll has subsided and the dog days of malice and madness have given way to dispassionate thought and Judgment the Voters will do the business Many will stay in the party who now threaten to leave continued Mr Daugherty The situation and ftnrl of the third party men who persist In breaking up the party and what wilt happen to them politically reminds me of a story A horse and an ox were hitched together as team to a plow The horse was honest and pulled more than his share but the ox was mad and annoyed by the heat of the sun About 10 oclock In the morning the ox turned to the horse and said Horse lets run off No ald the horse plow on plow on They pulled along until noon the honest old horse pulling most of the load and when the sun was straight overhead and Its rays were hottest the ox a rain turned to the horse and said Horse lets run off and the thoroughgoing old horse again sain loyally No ox plow on plow on After noon the ox knowing he could not persuade the horse to run off started a movement of his own he tore away severed his relations with his companion In toil tore up hla own harness burst his own traces and away he went That night after the horse had been taken by the plowman to the barn and was taking his well earned meal after th ox had had time to reflect and had grown thirsty and hungry he came sauntering with some shame back home and into the barn His stall was next to the horse and as he slipped into the stall he asked Horse what did the master say Noth ingV said the horse and the ox thoughtfully proceeded with his meal Worried and not content again the ox aslced Horse what did the master say Nothing to me said the horse And later when the horse lay down to rest from the labors of that day and for the labors of the next the as once more anxiously asked Horse didnt the master say anything No said the horse well that is he didnt say anything to me but I saw him talking to the butcher No there wont be so many runaways from this Job as some now think Orozco May Fight Indefinitely No one can foresee the end of the Mexican revolution declared Frederick Stallforth ot Parral Chihuahua a member of the hanking firm of Stallforth Bro of Parral at the Wlllard Conditions are such that Oroico might be in the field for many months and the revolution might end tomorrow So far as Chihuahua is concerned it is as peaceful as ever We had some very exciting times in Parral where two of the most Important battles of thjs revolution were fought the first in February and the last in April These two fights were perhaps the most stubbornly contested battlea fought since the Mexican troubles began They were real fights About 2000 troops were engaged and during the fighting business in Parral was entirely suspended Many business places were looted by the rebels after the February fight In which Orozcos forces were victorious My bank was the only one that kept open during the hostilities We were conipelled to close for 36 hours during the second battle It was indeed a fight Nearly half a million shots were exchanged ahd there were many casualties Orozco in my Judgment is not ambitious to become president of Mexico It was he who made success possible for Madero He led Maderos forces His reasons now for taking up arms against the government are not fully understood He claims that Madero has failed to fulfill the promises made to the people before and during the first resolution This in a measure Is true but it was physically impossible for Madero to redeem his promises Orozco Js determined his followers say to make Madero coma to terms and make concessions to the men who supported him The action of the United States government In placing an embargo on arms and ammunition is approved by the Mexican people generally It has had a good effect In putting down rebellion where conditions were ripe for sedition The most serious trouble at this time Is In the state of Sonora where Orozco is making it warm In Chihuahua during all the fighting the American smelting works and mines were not seriously hampered There are perhaps 10000 men employed by the American companies and of this number I do net think more than 600 Joined the ranks of the rebels I would not attempt to predict what may be the end or when the end may come tr Texas Republicans Emancipated Eugene Marshall of Dallas Tex a lawyer and the Texas member of the Taft presidential notification committee Is one of the most sanguine supporters of the President He belieyea there Js no question of the reelection of Mr Taft Mr Marshall and the President are old friends haying been associated twenty years ago in cases before the United States Supreme Court when Mr Taft was solicitor general The Republican vote of Texas is a negligible quantity of course remarked Mr Marshall at the New Willard where he is with his wife one of the belles of the Lone State State But it is growing and some time may be worthy of notice For the last few yeara the Republican party of Texas was controlled largely if not wholly by patronage One of the good things accomplished by the Chicago convention that is good for Texas was that it worked a reform irt Republican ranks of Texas Hereafter the Republicans of Texas will be a militant force not dependent upon patronage but moved by principle The Chicago convention marked the end of patronage Republicanism in Texas There is little sentiment for the bull moose party in Texas But a very small percentage of the Republlcans and they number close to 200000 Is for the third party This third party movement it occurs to me is a hygienic for both parr ties It will remove a large number of undesirables and give the two big parties a chance to poll their normal vote This being the case it seems to me that Taf will win by a large plurality Title Presidents speech of acceptance was one of tlie greatest be evet
