TALK IS POOH-POOE- D Attributed to Cockiness of Jspanese Officers Change Wanted in Senate Rules to Expedite Business-Hug- hes Has No Presidential Bee. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington. Interest among Democrats and Republicans In Washing- ton has been roused by the word from Ohio that Jud&on Harmon made arrangement that upon his into the office of governor he would have no inaugural parade, no celebration and no inaugural address. The extreme simplicity of the governors program not only has Interested Republicans, but has made some of them smile and has caused them to vent a few intended-to-bhumorous thrusts at their Democratic brethren. The Republicans say that Mr. Harmon in going back to Jeffersonian simplicity is trying to make an appeal to the "common people" and that he feels this is necessary because as the Republicans put it, a good many people have an idea that Mr. Harmon is a man of that extreme conservative if not aristocratic type to which exception has been taken by thousands of voters of both parties in recent years. The Democrats retort that the simplicity of Mr. Harmons program is due to his nature and nothing else, and that the Republicans find in it something to talk about only because simplicity and lack of ostentation are such entirely novel things to the Republican party. The Jefferson Legend. The legend has it that Thomas Jefferson, prior to taking the oath of office as president of the United States, rode to the capital on horse back, practically unattended, tied his horse to a fence rail, and then mounted the platform in an extremely democratic manner to take the oath of office. Old guides at the capital who have had stories handed down to them by other guides and it takes only about three generations of them to go back to Jeffersons time say that Jefferson did not hitch his horse to a fence rail, but to the limb of an elm tree which stood about one hundred feet southeast of the capital. The guides further say that the elm tree which grows on the exact spot today is a child of the old elm. The. guides story has been transmitted . to be men on the sight-seeinautomobiles and the story of the horse hitched to the fence" is rapidly being supplanted by the story of the "horse hitched to the tree. Going back tu the recent war scare" and to the "confidential report concerning the likelihood of a conflict with Japan, it may be said it is much more than likely that American army and navy officers derived their belief that trouble with Japan is, a possibility of the future from what they call the attitude of "cockiness" which Japanese military service officers have displayed toward American officers ever since the war ended. Japs Are Flippant. American officers who have served in the east from time to time since the peace of Portsmouth say that Japanese soldiers and sailors of rank have treated them in a flippant and condescending way when they happen to meet. At first the Americans say that they set his manifested spirit down to a feeling of assurance and superiority which had come to the Orientals as the result of their success in sinking the Russian fleet and in winning battles on land. Finally the American officers found out that the Japanese were not treating officers of other services in the way that the Americans were being treated, and so they came to the conclusion that Japan did hot like America. Officials in Washington when talking privately say that the Japanese school trouble in San Francisco and half a dozen other things have made the Japanese angry with Americans and that the masses of the Empire are perfectly willing to go to war, but that the officials have been holding them In check and probably will continue to hold them in check for a long time to come No one in Washington seemingly believes that war with Japan is a possibility of the near future. The Oriental Empire it is said is not in a financial condition to allow it to go to war, and moreover while there has been a tremendous amount of friction over seemingly small matters in the past, there is belief here that matters will assume a smoother aspect quickly and that the two countries eventually will get back to he plane of their old friendly relations, - Want Business Expedited. In the senate while some of the members are trying to secure modifications of the rules so that, as they view it, business may be expedited, there are house members who are trying to show that the change In the regulations for that chamber forced at the last session of congress not only did not make business move faster. y e g -- the old status. It will not be long before the Democrats will be in control of the house and the question of the rules will be of no particular Republican concern, unless perchance some future Insurgent Democrats should attempt to combine with the Republicans to do just what some insurgent Republicans by combination with the Democrats succeeded in doing at the last session. Senate Moves Slowly. The senate changes ita methods slowly and only at.er long continued deliberation. "Senatorial courtesy" is pretty nearly as strong today as ever it was and there are certain things which are done not so much because a majority of the senate thinks they ought to be done, as because some senator makes personal appeal that it shall be done. This of course does not apply to matters of important legislation, but rather to such matters as getting bills which are of local interest to some senator, through the chamber with expedition. Senatorial courtesy also applies to appointments, and the senate is always loath to approve the nomination of a man if the senators from the nominees state enter objection. Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Charles E. Hughes has allowed himself to be quoted to the effect that he is without presidential ambitions. Recently it was told how some of the Progressive Republicans holding official office in the capital had come to the belief that Justice Hughes was the only man who could bring together the factions of the Republican par-ty find thus put the organization in condition to make a strong fight in the next presidential campaign. This movement of support for Hughes has gathered considerable headway, but the supposition is that it must now be taken for granted that the justice is fixed to the bench until the retiring age comes to him. It is conceivable, however, that if there should be a united party demand in the future that he stand for the presidency he might reconsider his present determination. When the newly appointed chief justice of the United States, Edward Douglass White, was sworn in as chief justice, the oath was administered by Associate Justice Harlan, who is the jurist longest in service on the Supreme bench. During the Civil war Chief Justice White and Associate Justice Harlan met in battle. White on the southern side and Harlan on the northern side. , Captain 81ms Must Exjgln.

And then they came back and took the cushions off the wagon. Eventually, becoming daring, they unhitched the wagon and took it away. True to my trust, I stood there, holding the horse. And by and by the peddler came out of the saloon and sized up the situation. Well, said he warmly, youre Honest John, all right You saved the horse. Hie Specialty.

It is not likely that Captain Sims of the navy overstepped the bounds of propriety at the banquet, for he is known as a sober minded and "sober-sided- " officer, but nevertheless he will have some explaining to do. It is not likely, however, that this old sailor will be made to walk the plank, though it is possible be may be ad-- , monished in fairly sharp terms by the admiral of the fleet, who may be directed to the admonishing duty by the secretary of the navy. The case of Admiral Coghlan, who died not long ago, probably will be recalled quickly in this connection. It was Admiral Coghlan who as a commander was with Dewey at the battle of Manila. There he won fame and promotion. Probably no one has forgotten Sailor Coghlan's recital of the poem in which the German emperor The was lampooned pretty severely sailor recited the poem at a dinner in New York and instantly there was trouble. The poem which the admiral gave to his fellow banqueters with all the force of which his voice was capable, sent tbts diners into a delirium of laughter and enthusiasm, and the sound of the laughter went round the world. It Is said that Kaiser Wilhelm laughed as loud and as heartily as anybody else and so it is possible that It was his manifestation of the possession of a sense of humor which saved the American sailor from getting any punishment harder than a mild reproof, which came in the form of a request that he go in peace and sin no more. ' Now Another Food About Clean to tSplendid When the "Weekly which sued us for libel (because we publicly denounced them for an editorial attack on our claims) was searching for some weak spot," they thought best to send a N. Y. Atty. to Battle Creek, summoned 25 of our workmen and took their sworn statements before a Commissioner. Did we object? No. On the contrary, we helped all we could, for the opportunity was too good to be lost. Geo. Haines testified he Inspected the wheat and barley, also floors and every part of the factories to know things were kept clean.
