" "WASHINGTON LETTER. From Oor Regolar Correspondent. Secretary Taft has gone to O hioto personally .take up the fight against the machine wing of the Republican organization. He is up against , a hard forma tion and the situation has been complicated by the fact that the President has aroused the ani mosity of the Labor Union ele ment by his remarks during the Harriman controversy in lump ing Harriman and Debbs and Moyer nnd Haywood, the accus ed murderers of GovStunnen burg of Idaho in the 'same cata gory aa "undesirable citizens.'.' The labor element holds that as Moyer and Hay ward are about to be brought to trial for mur der, the President's remarks will have the effect of prejudicing jus tice against the accused. There fore the labor unions in vari ous quarters have entered strenu ous protests and are preparing to inject themselves into the fight in phio and to take an active part in the general campaign as anti-Roosevelt bodies, more with a desire to gratify a personal de sire for Vengeance than for the principle involved. Word has been received at the State Department of the signing at Amapala of a treaty of peace between , Nicaragua and Salva dor, This marks the, end of the present Central American war; and the treaty provides for a gen eral peace conference of the Cen tral American republics in the near future that it is thought will insure the continuance of peace in that region for years to come. The President has received a congratulatory telegram from President Zelaya of Nicaragua thakning him for the part he had personally taken in bringing a bout the cessation of hostilities. The peace pact containing the provision for a general peace conference is the same in effect as that signed on the Marblehead about a year ago, but which nev er put into effect owing to the strained relations between the Central American countries at the time. Now that the pressure has beenelieved by a fight, the air is clearer and it is.thought that the conference will be held with some chance of success. Patent Commissioner F. I. Al- len, hasresigned from the impor tant post he has held under the Interior Department for the past six years, and will follow the ex ample of some pf his predecess ors in office and return to the practice of law. Commissioner Al-J len has not had an altogether tranquil time in his long admin-1 istration. The office under his care fell dreadfully into arrears of work and there were many crit icisms pf his administration. A good many influences were at work to oust him from his job, but it took a good deal of time and much effort to pry him loose from such, a good official salary His . successor has not yet been named, but quite possibly it will be assistantCommissioner Moore. What is needed in the office a bove all things now is a prompt and effective business administra tion to clear up the long list of arrears with which the office has been struggling for some years past and for which Commissioner-Aliens', incompetent adminis tration is at fault. : ; ' A new record was estalJished in the Deed Literary Office this month in the return of undeliver ed letters to, their .writers. This has always been a serious prob lem, and til a few months ago, it looked a though the Dead Let ter office had become so "congest ed that it never would be able to catch up and return d cad J letters with reasonable prQmpti- tUde. The work has been syste matized under the administration of Assistant Postmaster General, P. V. DeGraw. He held fiiom the first time he took office that there was no reason why Dead Letter mail shonld not . go back to its writers immediately. He set the force in the office to clean ing up the arrears and two months ago succeeded in return ng 14,483 letters. This record has been badly beaten this month when 20,808 letters were return ed, leaving arrears of only 60, 000 to be dealt with. This is a cheerful contrast to the situation a few months ago when there were over 200,000 letters in the division waiting vainly for re turn. ' - . DeGraw is himself an old news paper man and was formerly manager of the United Press in Washington. He is an erpert telegraph operator hnd has the distinction of operating daily the shortest telegraph line in t h e world. It ja a little over 30 feet long and runs from his desk into the next room to that of his pri vate secretary and confidential clerk, both of whom are ex-opera tors. Mr. DeGraw uses the tele graph line instead . of the tele- ! phone in directing his two assis tants. He sometimes uses it also for dictating, and will sit at his desk and dictate letters , by wire to his clerk in the next room. It is a very private sort of communi cation too, for there are not many visitors - who can "read code" and the line is much less subjectto eaves dropping than a telephone line would lie. The Smithsonian Institution in Washington , which has just come under the administration of a new secretary in , the person of Chas. D. Walcott, formerly Direc tor of the Geological Survey, has made a mote that will be of in terest to scientists all- over the world. It has constituted itself a sort of clearing house for the major scientific 'socities, chief a mong them the American associ ation for the Advancement of Science aud the National Acad emy of Sciences. These two im portont institutions will here after have their permanent head quarters in .the.. Smithsonian Building, and will transact thro' it their mass of correspondence with the . rest of the ; scientific world. It is a courtesy that has been accepted with thanks by both bodies,, and will tend to make the Smithsonian more than ever the clearing house for the sientiflc work of the , whole country. A new board of food standards has been established in the De partment of Agriculture, com posed of Dr. H. H. Wiley, chief chemist of the Department, Geo. McCabe, the solicitor of the De partment and Dr. F. L Dnnlap who has been brought to Wash ington from the University of Michigan for the purpose of act ing as chief assistant to Mr. Wiley. This board, under tne direction of Secretary Wilson, will pass on all questions of law and fact con nected with the food standards established under the Pure Food and Drug Act. - ' Wonderful Eczema Core.

By Robert W. Pclliam. "New York Herald, only 5 cts., All about the big fire. New York Herald 1 all about the big fire, on ly 5 cents;," sang Jack who wasa newsboy. "Hello Jack," called Tom. "How are you making it?" "Allright' answered Jack, "how are you?" "Fine," said Tom. "It's about night, let's go to the News Boy's Lodging -House. How much did you clear?" "75 cents," said Jack." "How much did you?" "About 80 Cents" answered Tom. I They walked on in-silence until Jack broke it-by saying: ""Tom let's you and I put up a news stand, and be partners in the bus iness. What do you sayl" "Al right, but where will we get the dough?" "Oh, we'll get thedough allright" answered Jack." "How much have you saved since you began the business." "About $15," answered Tom." "Well, 1 have $20," said Jack. "$15 and $20 are $35. $35 would start us up." "Yes, it would," said Tom. "We might buy a stand and sell two or three kiuds of papers and mag azhie8, and in the summer han dle soda pop." "Fine idea of yours," said Jack. "All right we wili," said Tom. ' About that time they arrived at Jbe Newsboy's Lodging Hou'se where they engarjd supper, a bed and breakfast for 25 cents each. Next morning Jack and Tom decided to put together the money that they had made for a few days to get some more . mon ey to go on the news stand. Jack went into the streets aad began his yell. By dinner time he had 55 cents, of which he spent 15 cents for dinner. With 40 cents in his pocket .lack started for the railroad station. He had 30 cents left over from ' the day before which made him 90 cents. The train . was due in 30 minutes and would stay 10. This gave Jack 20 minutes to sell papers', so he went to work and three men bought papers. Just about this time the train pulled in, then Jack went to yell ing. About ten persons bought papers and the train left." It was two hours until the next train was due, so Jack thought he would look for Tom. He started up Main street and saw Tom. "Hello Tom," said Jack, "Hello" said he, how much have you?" $1.15"he8aid."How much have you?" '90' cents, said he. -'Well," said Jack, "I expect to have more by night. You had better go with me to the railroad station. I made 50 cents in 20 minutes while the train stopped. "You did?" said Turn, "Then I'll go." . . ' TIih tvo started on, yelling on the way. Jack made one sale and Tom two. 'It's about train tinV Hiiid Tom, ulaticing at the city clock. "Yes it is," said Jack. "VVVd better hurry" and they broke into a run. They reached the Ktation about two minutes before the train arrived. The train came, in, they each made four sules and went back u;iMniu street to look at a news stand. the price was $38 00, It had a good Htock of papers and maga zines. They decided to take the stand in themorning, Tom made three soles to some men coming down the street, thtn the b(,ys counted up the profits of44eday. Each one counted out 25 cm!s for the riljrht and went to the a-fLodging House. Tom had $1.00, , ... ' Ja.tk $1.15 -'That will h $37.. 10," said Jack and we can pay off the 90 centB out of tomor row's profit." Thai night the boys dreamed ol the ne" stand. In the morinng tjiey started to the newsstand and paid $37.10, 1 aud fixed it up with the fellow a bout the 90 cents. . Business prved very good that day and after the 90 cents had been paid each one had $1 00. Summer was beginning and so the cold drinks and ice cream were added to the stand which usually gay e the boys between $0 aud 50 cents more on the day. Iu three months the boys had tomaketheir stand larger and keej) more things. Now each boy had about $40.00 aB business had been on a rush. After summer was1 over they decided not to handle papers any longer and go into another busi ness. They thought they would put up a candy shop on Main street; The name of thefirm was to be "Sands & Brown Co," They reuted a good Hized building fa cing the street and hired two Bmall boys to heln them, their names were George and Sum. TheyBOid the news stand for $50., and they had made $100. out oi the news stand, and with the $150. they put in a good stoikol candy. The clerks got $1.50 each a week. Two wagous to deliver goods were kept. Jack was 15 tears old and Tom 16. At the end of the year both boys were old enough to go to college but they thought they would stay until they got enough money to go into bust ness. Jack and Tom stnyed one more year, sold the store and went to college. After staying at college four years Jack and Tom came back to New York and went into the grocery business. After one year had passed the stock had to be made larger and five more wagons put in, . "Ja" said Tom,"whowonld have thouuhttliatwe would have made a fortune when they saw uh selling papers ou the street?" "I don't know." suid Jack, ' but 1 am sure I didn't.' " My Best Friend.
