AFFAIRS OF STATE TABOOED.
Newspaper Men Told President Will
Make No Comment on Stato Affairs
and That He Wants Rest Sum
mer Home .Ideally Located.
Windsor, Vt. July 7.-Presldent Wil
son, accompanied by hl& fumlly and
Francis Bowes Sayre, Miss Jessie Wll
eon's (lance, tools n motorcar spin
over the dusty roads from llnrlaken-
den House, the new' summer "capital"
r.t Cornish. N. H.-. yesterday to attend
service In the Congregational church
lu Windsor. The nearest Presbyterian
church Is forty miles away.
President Wilson Intends to bo left
alone while he Is hero. Ho has told
thu newspaper men that he will mnko
110 comme" on state matters nnd that
lie wants to rest. Ho asked them
with a smile to "let him eff" for a few
t.ays without putting him In the In
terrogation chair.
Although the only light the presi
dent gets In lils homo at night Is from
oil lamps and candles, ho Is well 'satis
fled, lie Is looking for plenty of
Bleep and relaxation and not luxuries,
lie said.
The president's now home Is n mag
nificent house located In n valley of
pine (Ins overlooking great towering
bills on all sides and has the Con
necticut river (lowing at Its back. The
Connecticut river right now, by the
way. Is suffering from drought, and
nny rowing the president or his family
may want o do will have to be done
In a senw. as the last measurements
have shown the average depth of the
river to bo wo feet.
Conducive to Rest,
Outside of the scenery and surround
ing country homes of artists and men
of letters, the town of Windsor Itself
Is conducive to rest. Its jail Is now
housing its first prisoner In sis months.
He Is a farmer of peculiar habits,
whose last offense was driving nails
Into his cow because her milk output
was not up to his Idea of a good cow's
stnndard.
If President Wilson does much ram
Wing before lie goes back to Washing
ton he may see Baltimore, .1. II., the
smallest town in the country, which
has ten voters. Bnltlraoro lies over
the mountains- nnd Is accessible only
by unbroken roads. The Inhabitants,
tho ten voters, Rtlll wear iron bottomed
shoes and trade their products. It
was the Inhabitants of this town, so
the Wlndsorltes say, who forgot there
was a presidential election when Cleve
land made Ills winning run for the
presidency.
NAME THREE IN M'NAB'S PLACE
Special Assistants Will Try White
Slave Cases.
San Francisco, July 7. Tho Western
Fuel and tho Diggs-Camlnettl cases,
tho delay lu prosecuting which result
ed In the resignation of United States
Attorney McNab, will be tried by three
special assistants to tho attorney gen
eral. Word to this effect was received

United States attorney, from Attorney
General Mclteyuolds.
Matthew I. Sullivan, Thomas 3.
Koche and Thomas E. Hnyden are tho
special assistants named by- tho attor
ney general.
"Mr. Sullivan," the telegram stated,
"Is to occupy the position of leading
counsel."
In view of tho fact that President
Wilson already has sent to tho senate
Ilayden's nomination to bo United
States nttorney here, his appointment
as a special assistant caused consider
able speculation.

UK'S PLAN TO
SI TARIFF BILL
Georgia Senator Proposes to
Banish the Zeroing Hour.
WOULD
TEE
REPUBLICANS.
Hoke Docu Not Realize the Difficulty
of Keeping a Quorum During tho
Summer Months Congress Certain
to Pass a Drastic Anti-lobby Bill to
Protect Itself.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, July .". Special.
Senator Hoke Smith lias n plan for
pushing the tariff bill through the sen
ate with much greater speed thun haa
been believed possible. He says that
after giving the Republicans reasona
ble time to consider the measure, after
It is reported n few days, at least, then
tho senate should banish the so called
"morning hour," which is really two
hours, take up the tariff bill each day
at 12:30 and continue consideration bf
It until C oyclock at night
That for 'tho llrst week Then begin
the sessions nn hour earlier for u week;
then begin about tho third week about
10 o'clock in the morning nnd run un
til 10 at night. In that way the Georgia
senator believes the Republicans will
tire of making lou speeches. Ho
would also have the Ii.tiocrats satisfy
themselves with short speeches, just
enough to explain the provisions of tho
bill, with perhaps it speech by each '
senator for home onsumption
How About the Quorum?
Senator Smith has not been a mem
ber of the senate two years, and ho
no-er has been through one Of those
protracted contests such us u tariff bill
is likely to evoke. He does not realize,
perhaps, that his party will bo under
the necessity of keeping a quorum In
the senate all tho time. Tho majority
Is narrow. At least two Democrats
will want to defeat the bXl, and it Is
surmised that others would be willing
to see it defeated indirectly; therefore
the idea of working twelve hours a
day on the tariff bill may have to bo
modified.
A quorum can be demanded almost
any time. Senators will not remain
and listen to long tariff speeches. If
an attempt Is made odrly In tho con
sideration of tho tariff bill to work un
der forced pressure the Republicans
are sure to begin a filibuster in earnest.
Drastic Lobby Bill Sure.
"While tho Mulhall revelations con
cerning the lobby did not come as a
result of the Investigation which Pres
ident Wilson caused to bo instituted,
they aro all a part of tho general anti
lobby crusade, and the president will
get credit for whntMias been turned
up. One thing is assured, however,
congress will pass a drastic anti-lobby
bill. Congress Is sure to take meas
ures to protect Itself and tho public
from that gang of harpies who infest
tho capital and deal in alleged "Influ
ence." They make big concerns Inter
ested In legislation believe they can
"put things over" and reap quite a
harvest from tho gullible outsiders.
Their Worst Offense.
What has aroused congressmen to a
high pitch of indignation Is because
theso lobbyists inform their employers
that this or that man is "fixed" or la
"all right" nnd by Implication say that
the lobbyist has "fixed" the map
named. They pick out men .who may
have treated them with consideration,
who may, In fact, faror tho legisla
tion the lobbyist is promoting not bo
causo of tho lobbyist, but on some oth
er account.
That Is true in regard to tariff legis
lation. Nearly every high protectionist
In congress can bo classed as "all
right" In support of a high duty on
certnin articles. They would bo fop
tho duty if they had never seen tho
lobbyist. And so they are put in pil
lory before tho public when the lobby
ist turns "informer."
Rewards of Valor.
While much has been printed recent
ly about tho battle of Gettysburg and
every account showed that It was a de
cisive battle, tho turning point of tho
war, etc., It does not seem to havo oc
curred to nny ono that not a single
commander on the Union side who par
ticipated In that great battlo was ever
rewarded to tho extent of giving him
the rank of lieutenant general.
As a result of tho Spanish war six
men were made lieutenant generals.
Who can namo them? Gettysburg
gave fame to Meade, nancock, Sickles,
Sykes, Sedgwick, Howard, Slocum,
Warren, Buford, Doubiedny, Pieasan-
ton, Reynolds, Geary, Ruger, Alexan
der and others, many of whom won
moro distinction both before and after
the crucial battlo of tho civil war.
,Yet none received tho coveted throe
stars. Meade's solo reward for win
ning tho most decisive battle of tho
war was a brigadier general's com
mission. The lieutenant generals re
Warded after tho Spanish war were
Miles, Young, Chaffee, Bates, Corbln
and MacArthur.
Wives Brave Heat.
"While a great many women have
left Washington, n largo number of
wives of senators and representatives
hare determined to brave the beat of
the capital and remain In Washington
until the end of tho session. They
prefer to live as families rather than
to wander alone about their homes or
seek pleasure resorts.

HOW WILSON WILL
President Will Fcrsgo Vacation
to Help Congress.
ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS ACTIVE.
Senator Gnllingor Will Not Fight For
Re-election Forestry Reservations
Being U.zde In All States and Will
Be National Parks Borah Wins Out
by Keeping His Temper.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, July 7. Special.
When congress remained in session a
long time durlm: the administration of
President Cleveland that executive
would hie himself to Buzzard's Bay
and enjoy an outing. Kew presidents
have publicly shown so much contempt
for congress as Cleveland. Congress
Men bored him He disliked their
continual quest for places. ThiB ap
plied particularly to senators. During
Ills last term Cleveland hud serious
ruptures with the. large majority of his
own party, and consequently his man
ner became more distant.
President Wilson will mnko trips to
his summer home lio doubt, but ho will
not remain long away while congress
Is working on the tariff and currency
bills. Ho has promised to stay with
them and help them, and ho meant
just what lie said. The president has
methods of recreation; he plays a little
golf; ho can go out sailing on the May-
ilower or take trips through the coun
try In an automobile with congenial
companions nnd thus while away tho
hot summer days nnd evenings.
The Antis Active.
Tho anti-suffragists say they are go
ing to make an active campaign hero-
after and meet the suffragists at ev
ery point, moro particularly as regards
the effort to put through a constitu
tional amendment giving women tho
ballot. The apparent Indifference of
the women who do not want tho ballot,
as shown up to the present time, has
led many congressmen to accept what
they believed to bo the inevitable and
support-tho proposed amendment.
Men in congress hesitate to vote con
trary to nn nctivo, persistent element
among tho women, believing that' op
wsitlon to thoso women will cost them
votes in the future. On that account
suffrage has made large gains in con
gress.
Will Not Scramble.
Senator Galllngor takes a very dig
nified position In regard to the New
Hampshire senntorship. Ills term will
expire In 1015, nnd the election will
jeeur next year. Ho has been elected
four times, tho first nftcr quite a con
test, the three subsequent times with
Dut any effort on Ills part and by tho
unanimous vote of tho Republicans In
ho legislature. And after twenty-four
renrs' service In the sennto he is not
;oing Into n rough nnd tumble fight for
another election. If ho Is chosen by
his party he would feel proud of the
honor, but he cannot see how ho will
1)0 honored if he enters a general
icramblo for tho position.
Forestry Extensions.
In tho course of time thero will bo
forestry reservations In all the states,
according to the land purchases that
ire being made from time to time,
riiese reservations will Ihj nntlonal
parks and no doubt popular In the
states. That will Insure moro support
tor the forestry service and conserva
tion methods which are carried on un-
ler forestry auspices.
Reconciliation Work.
Some of the old time Republicans ns
sort thnt Jim Mann as minority leader
Is doing his share toward reconciling
the factions of tho Republican party
He made no distinction between regu
lars and near Insurgents when he made
up the Republican membership of com
mittees. Many good committee places
fell to men who did not support tho
regular organization during tho last
flays of Speaker Cannon and tho first
term of Mann as minority leader,
lifnim was particularly kind to Minne
sota, Wisconsin and Iowa members,
who have in times past shown a dispo
sition to "Jump the track" when the or
ganization was hard pressed.
Keeping His Temper.
Senator Borah has been successful In
getting legislation enacted because he
remains calm and never seems to be
peeved at tho opposition tactics of oth
er senators who may bo opposing him.
"That Is what I learned when practic
ing law," said tho Idaho senator.
"When I was young and had more tlmo
to watch trials than participate In
them I observed that tho lawyers who
kept their temper, refused to get an
gry andexclted were moro successful
than the petulant, Irascible men. I
have always made It a point to pre
serve an outward exterior, although at
times It Is very trying."
What Pence la Doing.
I asked Tom Pence, tho man who
gained fame as tho publicity man of
the Wilson campaign, what the organ
ization over which bo was exercising
lupervisory direction wns doing. It
was supposed to bo working for future
Democratic success and Improving the
organization. "Principally wo are try
ing to get money," replied Pence, "and
chat Is pretty bard lu an off year. Wo
ion't want to assess officeholders, and
there seems to be no other source of
vnnnn "

Everything for the Farm
THE BANANA.
Tho banana because of Its cheap
ness, nutritive qualties, nnd. that it
is in the market the year around, has
become a very useful article of food
with the working and poor people.
As tho object of the present tariff re
vision has been announced as a do
sire to reduce the cost of living, par
ticularly In foods, and as wo do not
raise bananas, except to a very limit
ed extent, and never will because of
climatic conditions, we do not see
where there is good excuse for plac
ing an import tax of five cents a
bunch on bananas as decided by the
Senate Finance Committee, and the
revenue derived therefrom could well
be spared.
While a tax of five cents a bunch
may not appear to be much of a tax
on the consumer, when that five
cents gets added and passes on to
the huckster or grocery store, It will
probably be an excuse for two or
three cents a dozen to be charged
the consumer. The principal Imports
in 1912 wero (in bunches) from Ja
maica, 15,468,000; Honduras, 7,
151,000; Costa Rica, 7,053,000;
Panama, 4,583,000: Cuba, 2,479-
000; Nicaragua, 2,270,000; Guate
mala, 2,018,000; Colombia, 1,543,
000; Mexico, the Dominion Repub
lic, Dutch Guiana and British Hon
duras also ship to us in smaller
amounts. For the fiscal year ending
with June, 1912, imports amounted
to 44,521,000 bunches which at five
cents a bunch would yield a revenue
of $2,22G,000 which tho pushcart
would pay. This Indicates an annual
per capita consumption of at least
sixty bananas. Consumption and im
ports are steadily increasing. For
the eleven months ending with May
of the present fiscal year, 39.97G,
3G3 bunches wero imported. This
was an increase of almost a million
bunches over a like periotj of tho
last year.
HOUSES AND HEALTH.
Very often the complaint is made
that houses aro not built as well as
they used to be constructed. Peo
ple lament the fact that tho life of a
modern house Is so short.
From tho point of view of sanita
tion and convenience this should be
a cause for rejoicing rather than sor
row. Old style houses are for tho
most part poorly arranged as to
light and air. Facilities for bathing,
vacuum cleaning and other modern
means for healthful living aro inade
quate. It Is true in many cases that,
"As a house Is, so will the inhabi
tants thereof be."
Therefore it you own an old style
house, invest money in making it
modern. If, on the other hand, you
find It necesary to build, don't make
the mistakes that the builders of a
few years ago made. Put plenty of
Windows .into the house. See that
they are so arranged that cross ven
tilation can be obtained. So many
houses that are being built now are
patterned exactly after the old style
buildings and have Just as few
windows. Bo thankful that you
have the opportunity to build a
house now and that you do not have
to live in one of an unsanitary, un
hygienic typo.
Therefore take advantage of all
the things that science has discov
ered in the way of improving housing
conditions and apply them in your
now home. A healthy house means
a healthy family.
SCHOOL FOR HORSESHOERS.
An appropriation of $2,500 was
allowed by tho New York legislature
in its last session iqr the purpose of
equipping the new horsoshoers' de
partment recently added to the Cor
nell University veterinary school.
The veterinary department direc
tor, Professor V. A. Moore, will be
tho supervisor of the horseshoers'
school, he having secured the ser
vices of a graduate of the German
horseshoeing schools to act as In
structor. The instructor Is about to
leave for Dresden, Germany, to take
a post-graduato course, and will re
turn during the fall in time for the
opening of the new department at
Ithaca, New York, where Cornell
University Is located.
At first only horseshoers who are
advanced in the practice will bo ad
mitted to the school and entrance
will be confined to residents of New
York state.
