It is hotter in Washington just now than the mercury indicates' particularly in both ends of the capitol building and at the White House. It is indeed gratifying to know that there is enough sell-respect and dignity remaining among the members of our National law-mak ers to resent the insinuations of corrupt practices freely indulged in by mauy of the moat prominent members. It is most fortunate for the nation that it"lias a Roosevelt for a a ruler. The President was altogether too plain spoken in his message for the dignity of the House, and the veiled inferences seem to have cut deep, but the gen eral public, with memories of the Standard Oil correspondence, with Senators and Representatives on trial for fraud, to say nothing of this latest exposure regarding Sen tor Tillman, will not seriousiy re sent the Presidents seeming disre spect and caustic attack. Legis lative bodies have only themselves to blame for this common feeling among the people at large. Meeting cl Directors.
