President Receives Diplomats and Also a Great
Throng of Unofficial Guests
ASH IXGTON. Jan. 3. (Special
Correspondence.) New Year's
tailing in "Washington Is an in
stitution as old as the Government itself,
one miffht almost say as steadfast, for
as lonK as there is a diplomatic corps
resident here, just so long will Miss
Columbia devote one first day of each
ycur to recel vinsr Its members en
masse.
The example for ..ospltaUty set by
occupants ot the White House Is fol
lowed by others in the official world
until the day is one merry round of re
ceptions, with men only as callers.
As in former years, the visiting: be
txurx at 11 in t lie morning:, when the
I'residcnt, clad In the plain black coat
and light trousers adopted (or conven
tional morning- wear by all well
lroBsd m n of the realm, prreeted the
first of a line of foreign diplomats, all
jsayly caparisoned in embroidered coats
of rod. white, blue or dark material, as
4li-ti tl l.v t lio e Li torn of the court
represented by the wearer. The gor-
genua appearance of a distinguished
few whm further enhanced by one or
more jeweled decorations, bestowed by
a. prat - fu I sovereign for the perform
.nt e of specially meritorious service in
military diplomatic conflict, and
proudly worn by the recipient on the
front of his coat on state occasions.
While Kid Rlovea, the rljfht one. of

i tonkins: swords, worn sheathed at the
left sld' and white-plumed chapoaux

ilt up anil take notice, completed the
most remarkable examples of mascu
line nttlre to be seen in democratic
..nierlca.
The ladies of the Diplomatic Corps
accompany their husbands to the
"White House on New Year's day and
r-o later to braltfast with the Secre
try of State and his wife. They are
always elegantly gowned, but never
wUhiu memory rave such costly cos
tumes adorned the persons of our
Am.-riran worui-n. This remark: Is not
written in -rtt it-ism. nor does it apply
0 rigueur to the ladies of the cabinet,
nil of whom follow the example of
Mrs. Roosevelt and dress with a simple
i'Ii'Kuih'o appropriate to their station.
For instance, at the evening: reception
on Thursday, when members of the
diplomatic corps were again the Presi
dent's irupsis of honor, many wealthy
.w Yorkers wore present, and each
lady vied with her neighbor in the
number and brilliancy of her Jewels,

Cut flowers, hut not in profusion, were
used to ornament the Colonial marble
mantel, which with its mate, now in
the preen room, has been an admired
feature of 1 he White House ever since

dining-room. Here also lias been

"Maria Rosa" Is a more finished

Sterne and Hal Reid might collaborate

pays for. The experience of the last ten
years proves this. In order to get what
it earns, labor must change laws, and a
majority of votes that are coun ted must
be given men who stand for justice rather-
than, precedent. The only reason why
lawmakers favor graft, is because graft-
era see that their servants are rewarded.
That Is. they make jsra ft pay.
The only weakness In our system of
Government is the simplicity of the ma-
jority. One Instance: Thousands of vot-
er here on the Pacific Coast are payinsr
three prices for fuel and power because
certain grafters have appealed success
fully to the fear and prejudice of a lot
of peopl whose worst sin Is that they do
not think. The whisky trust., the oil
trust, the coal trust and many lesser
thieves ply their craft in the shelter of
internal revenue laws that are worse
than useless.
Behind the tariff laws also lurk many
robbers. The modern griaftera often nave
laws made to render the business a sure
thing, before they begin work. The labor-
lnff men of this country have it in their
power to make criminals lawbreakers,
rather than lawmakers.
History shows that stopping business by
strikes, even if not made the occasion of
mob violence. Is of doubtful benefit to
the few and great cost to the many. Con

Great fortunes are mad rfowadaya by peo

Saving: money doesn't make you rich. It

Invest your savlnse in something sure to
hrlng- the greatest returns. Bankers get rich
by doing that with the money you deposit
with them, .and they pay you only 8 or 4
Xer cent for the use of your money. 'Why
not do as the bankar does and ot all the
profits yourself?

yourself that I have the greatest railway
system ever devised, and don't 1 nvaat one

every question honestly and squarely.

land until the House of Commons enacted
laws against railroad engineers working over
a limited timt through. lnriR hours. Con
gress should decree that engineers shall not
have charge or a locomotive over a reason-

states: "If danger signal was displayed. I
failed to see It on account" of foe " if such
