WASHINGTON LETTER Fro our Regular Correipokdent We are assnred on the high phi auinoruy mai an is se rene in the President's cabi net and (bat there, is not a suggestion of a split as a re suit of the conflicting iewH of the President and some o his advisors on tbesubject p tariff readjustment. This may be true and it may not For instance, Secretary Taft has just told the Ohio con vention that the next Con gress must make some pro xision to prevent the contin ual piling up of a deficit a.nd the Secretary proposes, with out committing himself to ei ther alternative, a return to the old war taxes, or a read justment of the tariff sched ules along, lines which will pro duco more revenue as the two 'methods of preventing further deficits and recoup ingtbe government, for the amount it has already expeu ded in excess of its receipts. Secretnry Shaw, on the other hand, speaking for the ad ministration, has just told the newspapers at btr Louis that, "W6 are not worrying over the defirit." Of course it may be said that Secretary Shaw is not the type of man to worry; that he could go through the world treading on volcanoes with a smile on his face, or enjoy his after noon h smoke find his siesta in a powder magazine, entire ly oblivious of the probable ronseqnenees. On the other hand, Secretary Taft is by no means of the worrying kind, and when Mr. Taft dn dared that Congress most take some action to prevent its increase be was not "wor tt . . rying dui merely stating a bald proposition which must appeal to every business man who nas heardprread his pre sentation of the case. If the truth were known, it' would probably be discover ed that it is Secretary Shaw who is doing the worrying in this instance, however. He is really much worried, because being a violent standpatter he fears that the people will demand in no uncertain tones that the sacred Dingley sched nles be reduced. He knows that would be the logical course for his party but he wants to slip into the White House with the votes and the assistance of the protec ted monopolies and he great ly fears the result to his pres Idential nspirationsif the tar iff is touched. Consequently Mr. Shaw will not admit in public that there is anything in the nation's financial af fairs to worry about and be hopes that it will come out light in the end. In any event Mr. Shaw will retire from the Treasury next February and if disaster follows his retire ment be will be able to charge the blame to his successor, but if the tariff Hrhedules are reduced by the administra tion of which he happens to be a member the "protected interests will not contribute those golden nherkles so nec essary to procure the votes of "thecolored brothers" who come as delegates to every Republican national conven tion. After perpetrating one of the most extraordinarv far ces ever witnessed in Wash ington, tbeSenatecommittee on interstate commerce has adjourned to meet again two week's before the next session of Congress. The committee has taken a vast amount of testimony which no one will ever read, most of it favora ble to the railroad and that whirl) was not, so distorted by interruptions and so man gled by the persistent brow heating of the witnesses op posed to the railways, that Its force is lost. After thecom mittee adjourned S e n a t or Kean had th temerity to go the White House and advise the President not to convene Congress in special session next fall because, said the Senator, "it would do no good." So far nscan be learn ed the president has not al tered his purpose of calling Congress into-session on Oc tober 16, although, between the p.tand patters who fear some change of the t a r i ff schedules and the railway men who fear some legisla tion which will curtail their prerogatives, there is tremen dous pressure being brought to bear on Mr. Roosevelt, pressure to which he m a y eventually yield. For some inscrutable rea son a number of the sensa tional newspapersofthecoun try, and some not ordinarily so, have token to publishing lurid stories about the deser tions from the navy. It has been alleged that there are hundreds of desertions every year and that the navy offl cersare distraught in their efforts to end such demorali zation of the service. Some papers have sent out men to interview disgruntled nary ooks and oral ley boys and then published their state ments as If they came from able-bodied seamen, etc, The facts are that there are no extraordinary number of de sertions from the navy and no unusual amount of dissat isfaction. There are always some desertions and the pecu liar part of this fact is that they come in the most unex pected places and often on ships where the greatest con tentment seems to prevail. Naval officers are inclined to the belief that their men, ev ery once in a while, become homesick, or form some at tachment ashore, either of whirh state of mind is quite sufficient to make the avers age man desert. The Navy Department officials are now prepanngstatistics to sup port their statements that the navy desertions are not abnormal this year. Considerable intcrast at ached, in militia circles throughout the country, to be coming meeting meeting of the Interstate National guard association, wlnrhwill occur in St. Paul. Minnesota. on June 19. Assistant Secre tary ot War Oliver is making preparations to attend, as areGeneral Elliott command ant of the marine corpse and General Hall, whohascbarge of the militia affairs in the War Department One of the important moves which it is expected the association will take will be the inauguration of a systematic campaigu to secure the apportionment of the federal militia fund ac cording to the number of ml litia maintained ineachstate instead of the congressional representation on the eever- al states, as is now required by law. HcEwm Case, Wilkesboro Chronicle. The most interesting case and the one which attracted the most attention during the Federal Court here, was the case against W. W. Mc- Ewen and Filuiore Forester, They did not resist a verdict oi guilty and the e v l d e nee showed that somebody in the matter was guilty of a rath er bold and defiant violation of the law. These men are of the best fa to i lies and have borne good characters out side of this matter of viola tion of internal revenue laws If the truth were really known others "higher up" would have the burden of guilt to bear, The men were sentenc ed on Friday morning, and the seen) was pathetic. Be- foie passing sentence upon these men several witnesses were examined as to charac ter, etc. Rut the most affec ting scene was when Uev. A. T. Pardue, who is a veteran fighter against the liquor traffic, was asked to give the character ol these men. They are neighbors.'he knows them well; he gave iheircharacters as good, among the best friends be ever had on earth. except as to the liquor busi ness. Requested for advice from the judge as to the best disposition of this case so as to most help the suppression of the liquor evil, he remark' ed, "temper justice with rner cy and his Bible references were pathetic. It was the sin he wished to punish, not the sinner, lie wanted to save he sinner, snatch him as brand from the burning. The judge in passing sen tence touched the hearts of all his own was touched. He referred to the gry headed fa ther, the veteran Confeder ate, ana the wife of the prin cipal defendant and to the pleadings of the good people in this particular case. These he said had moved his heart, and he hoped that the mercy he was tempering with justice would be a leaven of good for this community and sec ticn. He then proceeded to sentence as follows: W. W. McEwen, fined $1,- 000 and in jail for 5 months. Jesse McEwen, in jail six months and fined $100. Filmore Foreste, in jail one month and fined $100 It is a sad cas and if the truth beknown political graft and rottenness laid the foun dation for the violations. HOT WEATHEB PILES. Persons afflicted with pilcsshould be careful at this season of t h e year, Hot weather and bad annkifijr water contribute to th conditions which make piles more painful and dangerous.

Hnvana, III., says an ex change, boasts of one of the strangest schools in t h e en tire world. It ia nothing more nor less than a training place for the people who furnish the thrills in circuses. In this unique institution contor tionists are kept in training and taught new tricks to make the public hold its breath. Daring bare ba?k ri ders are put through their paces and taught to do huir raising turns, and slack-wire and trapeze performances a well as clowns aqd tumblers, are kept in practice. And the strangest part of the whole thing is that thf school is conducted by a wo man. This woman is Mrs. Lia da Jeal Julian, a bareback ri der and a woman who has been in the circus business for the past tbirty-t h r e e years. She has ridden around circus rings in every country on the globe, When she began her riding nearly a half century ago, the circus business was not at its present height. It was then a sort of strolling busi ness, and the people who lol loped it were for the most part shiftless, and were look ed upon as people of very lit tie acount. But as other things began to develop and change for the better, the eir cus alno became more impor tant and in many respects more respectable. Linda Jeal, as she is billed on the flaming circus posters has taught many people bow toiride in her time and has amused thousands by h e r feats of riding. Near the center of the town Mrs. Julian has what is call ed the winter circus. It is a big, red, barnlike structure, The inside of this corrugated iron building presents a sight to gladden the heart of the average boy and stir the blood of the jaded amuse" ment lover. There in the middle of the place is the pad ded circus ring. Above are all sorts of trapeze bars, stack wires and all the pare phanalia used in the most a p proved circuses. On oae side there is a fine. comfortable Btable, in which live the 6even handsome hor ses belonging to Mrs. Julian. Three nights each week du ring the winter months, this place is filled with the people Irom the town, trn veling men and visitors who go to look on while the circus people try their new tricks.
