HUGHES AN D T H E PRESID ENCY
Associate Justice C h a r l e s E
Hughes has issued a statement de
claring that he has “ no desire to
re enter politics and as a member
of the Supreme Court he is not
available ’ ’ In short, Mr Hughes
has put a damper upon the move
ment to run him for president on
the republican ticket. Mr Hughes
made an enviable record as gover
nor of New York, and a small mi
nority of people, who are "looking
for the best man’’ are Hughes en
thusiasts, However, there is no
warmth among the active repub
licans in the suggestion of Hughes
as a candidate. This is lor the very
simple reason that Hughes is gen
erally regarded as something of an
iceberg, and he provokes about as
much enthusiasm as a missionary
at a Sunday ball game There are
no real candidates for the republi
can nomination for the presidency,
but many people are asking what
Roosevelt, LaFullette, Cummins,
Borab, Burton and Whitman "in
tend lo do about it."

show, or go ou picnics, auto rides
or trips to such nearby spots as
Great Falls Tennis and golf are
at their height, and there is a gen
eral tendency to "clean up" the
work, since Washington is remind
ed by the advent of the straw bat
and summer raiment that the hot
weather approaches.
W A IT IN G FOR RESULTS
Every government official is sup
posed to take thirty days leave, and
in another month the departments
will all be ruuning short-handed
The administrative forces of the
government are at ease, aud are
waiting the results that are expect
ed to tollow the new legislation ol
the past two years. There has been
a let-up on prosecutions and inter
ference with trusts; and the princi
pal matter of domestic discord is the
row the Treasury Department has
gotten into with one of the country’s
biggest banks.
A BO OM I N C H A U T A U Q U A
Newspaper devotees will miss a
familiar item in the press that has
been printed at tegular intervals
each summer for six years. They
will not read that "Speaker Champ
Clark has lost eight thousand dol
lars because be bad to cancel his
Chautauqua engagements, since the
Speaker declared that it was bis
‘duty to remain in Washington
while Congress was in session ’ "
Some of the Senators get the same
sort of mention, and the Representa
tives prove their greatness to their
districts by letting it be known that
the Chatauqua's were losing their
best attractions because the Mem
bers were so important to affairs at
Washington. There are five hun
dred of these statesmen who are
free from attendance at the sessions
in Washington this year, and if
most of them secure assignments
they may cut down the market
price, in which event our dear old
“ Bill" Bryan might become dis
gusted with the game, and spend
the summer at the State Depart
ment.
SE CR ETAR Y GARRISON ’S ARMY
PLANS
Secretary of War Garrison, ac
cording to reports, contemplates
submitting to Congress at its next
session a rather extensive plan for
the national defense so fa as the
army is concerned. Congress likely
will be asked to increase the effic
iency of the mobile atmy and the
coast defenses.
STRAW SCHEDULE SMASHED
Washington smashed all records
in inaugurating the strt.w hat sea
son this year. Theie is a sort of
‘‘unwritten law” that straw hats
should not be worn in the Capital
before May 15. Iu New York it is
Juue 1. Other cities have similar
arbitrary customs that men follow
with the same equal regularity that
women recognize when thev trot
out their Easter bonnets. April 26
is the new Washington date, and
within 24 hours great stacks of
straw hats were resurrected or pur
chased— and summer, hot weather
included was in full swing.
