WASHINGTON NEWS By Clyde H. Tavenner. Washington, Fqpruary 26. —For a change, the same kind of justice thait * is meted out to poor men, was meted out to the rich, when Federal Judge Hollister of Ohio recently sentenced twenty-ii'Dne officials oif the Cash Reg ister trust, to sentences in jail, eiss taining the velw long taken by dem ocrats that “guilt is personal". I It has been demonstrated that jail sentences are the only thing that trust magnates have any respect for. They are willing to build up giant monopolies in violation of the law if their only punishment, in the remote evenit of their prosecution and con viction, is to be “dissolution”, the details of which the Supreme Court will allow their attorneys to attend, to the end that their stocks will double in value. Trust magnates care nothing about fines. They have no ob jection to occasionally paying a $5,000 or SIO,OOO fine, having made millions in cornered markets or in monopolies of the necessaries of lufe. But trust magnates are afraid of a cell, and if they can be convinced that if they violate the anti-trust law they will go to Jail, like the poor go to jail when they violate a -law, no lajw would be vio’ated and the prob lem of illegal trusts, solved. The Sherman law provides for jail sentences for trust magnates, just as other laws provide for Jail sentences for other kinds of robbery, but for twenty years and more the Federal Courts have not been impressed by the fact. This is why so many per sons have come to be suspicious of the courts, and to sincerely believe that the poor do not receive the same kind of treatment that is met ed out to the riel/; it explains, too, the recent remarkable growth in soc ialism, and the agitation for the re call of judges. If the Judgment of the Ohio court is actually carried out, it is obvious that it will do more toward causing Illegal trust magnates to respect the law, and at the same time mere to strengthen the waning confidence of the masses in the Federal courts, than anything that hne happened in years. j The Tuesday reading club will meet Feb. 25th with Mrs. G.

It Is hoped that Denver will accom plish what they have set out to do.

SETS HIM RIGHT. •A nice young couple in our crowd /as married this summer," relates a nice young fellow in the same crowd, "and when they got back from their honeymoon they went to housekeeping in a certain apartment-house in the Bast End. They had one servant— a little girl whose mother used to do the washing for her folks, and who, therefore, know all about them and came cheap and willing. Well I went to call on them the other evening. "The little maid met me at the door. She had known me when I called on* the girl before she was married, so’ she smiled when she noticed who I was. But I was very polite. " ‘Are Mr. and Mrs. Smith at home?’ ( asked. " ‘Yes, Mr. Brown,’ says she. "'Are they engaged at present?* " 'Why, Mr. Brows!' cried the little girl, blushing, ’they’re married!”*— Cleveland Plain Dealer. An Original Plea. A colored man wanted a divorce on the ground of "exertion.” "You mean desertion," corrected the lawyer. "No, Bah; she hain’t left me,” an swered his client. "I said ‘exertion’ an’ dat’s de ground perzackly. Bhe done exert herself to make me miz sable sah. Put it on de ground ob exertion." HIS IDEA OF THE EAST. The Picture Dealer—This etching represents an Oriental dance. Mr. Parvenue (from the w'est) What’s Oriental mean? The Picture Dealer—Pertaining to the east. Mr. Parveuue —No; they don’t stand for no such dances as that In the east. I know, ’cause I was in Boston only last week. The Reading. When there’s a will, there Is away.

MODERN PHILOSOPHY Silng a seng of sunshine —practice what you sing. Boast net, nor borst of the fact •that you do not boast. Economy is spending a little for a little of what a man needs. There is no blue Monday to the man who makes his Sunday white. It take® from eight to ten explana tions to straighten out one blunder. Xo man is so lazy that he hasn’t enough energy to get into jail. A man’s meanness will leak out be fore he knows it. If he is morally lame he must limp. ‘ When a man preaches the doctrine ■rt“eur.«hire’’, he must practice the j doctrine of “sweat”. Seine people have a habit of tell ing everybody that which they de clare is nobody’s business. I About all an education doe® for a man is to enable him to use what little oemmon sense he has. In the attempt to get ‘ something for nothing people have been known to get nothing for something. A hobby is somethirg of a play horse, lacking horse-sense, which is often true of the rider, as wel. When a your.g man does not culti vate his brains the devil cultivates I them for him —and raises weeds. Follow the advice you give to others, and as much cf the advice other® give to you as they follow themselves. ! Laziness afferds a man time to j meditate upon the various things he 1 would like to Have somebody do for him. The happiness which has another’s sorrow for a foundation must topple like the house built upon the sand. It ie generally the man'who boasts that he descended from a monkey who continually makes a monkey of j himself. Conscience does not say much to the man «o long as the man insists | on doing all the talking—so that conscience has no chance. | Some men who claim to be inter ested in reform movements instead of putting their shoulders to the wheel, try to hide behind the wheel. There aTe many men who are like matches—they get bright when they scratch their head, and some get so bright that they lose their head. For every fault that you point out to your friend tell him of at least three good traits. If you cannot find that many good traits for every fault tt will not do much good to mention the'faults.

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON An Old-Fashioned Car on Pennsylvania Avenue W iSHINQTON. —The electric car, of oetter, the electrified car, that i-iis back and forth across the Penn sylvania avenue bridge and for some distance up Pennsylvania avenue ex tended, is a relic. When you enter this car you note that it is only half as large, or a fourth as large, as the average run of the heavy and noisy cars on the main lines. There are only six windows on each side of this little car, and a low bench or side seat runs along each side of the car. This seat is covered with red carpet. That looks old-fash ioned and homelike. But you note also that a group of incandescent lamps glow in the low ceiling of the car, that electric push buttons are in the window frames and that the usual electric traction devices are on the platforms. Finally your glance hits an opening "Biscuits Is Biscuits" Is the Impression Abroad FHAT is a biscuit? There has been an impression abroad that “bis- W cuits 1b biscuits,” and that that let them out, but German customs offi cials have found a biscuit is: “A fine baker’s product, sweetened and flavored, and should, therefore, come under a particular heading for import duty.” And, In consequence of this eplcu rean definition. Importers of American biscuits in the Fatherland are forced to pay a prohibitive duty. So high has this duty been set that one- im porter has made a protest to Ambas sador G. A. Leißhman at Berlin that the matter be taken up by the state department Many weighty problems have left their indent on the massive brows of the skippers of our ship of state. But the latest problem is one that will force them to get down on their knees and scrub out the cellars of their in tellects. "What is beer?" “What is a Democrat?” “What is whisky?”—they have all been answered. But now comes a proposition of preponderant pourousness, and it is up to the state department officials either to substan tiate the good old Century diction- White House Housekeeper Wins Name and Fame i NER3 and diners at the capital who are fond of good things to W eat and have palates bard tc please, are beaming because Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has retained Mrs. A. J. JafTray. the Canadian woman who for the past four years has served as housekeeper at the White House. Few If any of Mra. Jaffray’s admir ers know her personally. It's her wcrkß that have won her name and fame. The presiding genius of the In terminable series of feats which mark- i ed the progress of the Taft adminis tration. Mrs. Jaffray has earned a place In history. The cuslne of the Taft regime has become famous for Highwayman, Dressed as Woman, Aids in Hold-Up > WO highwaymen, one attired as a stylish young woman, held up T John McLain of 1108 Florida avenue Northeast, he told the police of the Ninth precinct the other night, and at the point of a revolver demanded . his cash and Jewelry. Mcls&in was going to his home, when he was accosted at Montello avenue and Morse street Northeaßt by two men, one dressed in woman's clothes. Both had their faces smear ed with lampblack. The one in man’s clothes pointed a revolver at McLain, and demanded his money. He only had 25 cents, so the highwayman took that, and pointing his revolver at Mc- Lain told him to “beat It" McLain did. Hastily fuming a corner, he met Po liceman Steele about to mount the steps of the Ninth pfeclnct station. “There's a couple of hold-ups down the street." he yelled at Steele. The bluecoat spied the pair about four blocks away and started after them on the double-quick. The two heard I his footsteps and vanished arouio a corner No more was seen of them. , in the middle of each door. In this opening works a brass slide. As. you have it; through that opening in cold or In rainy weather you would hand a quarter to the driver, and putting your lips close to the opening, would say, “Tickets” or “Change.” The driv er would open a long tin box attached either to the dash of the car or to his belt and would pass back to you through the opening a little envelope on which was printed either "Tickets” or "25 Cents.” You would tear the end off the little envelope and. taking out a ticket or a nickel, would drop it in a tall box of wood and glass on the right-hand side of the door. The driver —from the outside of course — would look into the box, and seeing that you had deposited your fare, would pull a string and the nickel or the ticket would drop out of sight into the base of the box. You know now that you are on board one of the old horse cars. Hav ing the ticket slot in the door at both ends, shows that it was of a later pe riod than the bob-tailed car with the rounded dash in front and the funny little step behind —the car that was turned round on a turntable at the end of the route. Still you know that that old car has made many trips In this town. ary, or to agree in the German ver- . sion. The Century dictionary gives this press notice on biscuits: “A kind of hard, dry bread, consist ing of flour, water, or milk, and salt, and baked In thin, flat cake 6. The name Is also extended to similar ar ticles very variously made and flav ored. See cracker.” The German Importers of American biscuits say that our biscuits ought to be classed as “Einfaches backwerk,” and taxed accordingly. The state department hasn’t heard from Ambassador Leisbman yet, but expects to at any time, and officials are getting ready for an international tussle over the dictionary. They may ask a counter-question: "What is a pretzel?” j Its excellence and the manner of fete giving at the White House is the envy of the smartest hosts at the capital. * Multimillionaires who pay their chefs SIO,OOO yearly are not able to match the product of the White House kitch ens and millionairesses who have aim ed to make good by living up to the maximum “that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach," cast en vious eyes upon the way things are done at the home of the president Caterers who previous to the com ing of Mrs. Taft had found the White House their best patron, bewailed the lost trade. No matter how perfect their wares they had no Bale at the White House, where Mrs Jaffray’s management made It possible for “home cooking" to hold the boards against all comers. The biggest feta planned, as for instance, the silver | wedding celebration of the President and Mrs. Taft, as well as the tiniest luncheon served, were provided for down In the big White House kitch ens. It was all done so easily that I it looked like child’s play . Before they disappeared, however. Policeman Steele saw the "woman" pick up "her” skirts and do 100 yard® lin about ten flat. Underneath the skirts “she" had on a serviceable pair of trousers. McLain expressed doubt as to his ability to identify the pair should they be arrested. He said the lampblacV they had on their faces made it cult to remember their features In udditlon, the besklrted member of the team had on a heavy veil.
