“THE SEATTLE STAR Bysnares inks’ sah indent 44k $20 to See Taft Feed Neatly engraved invitations are out for that banquet to be tendered President Taft by the directors of the exposition in Frisco, and from all reports it’s going to be some recherche, comme il faut affair, or whatever may be the fashionable Chinese equivalent for a lambasting big show, They do say that it’s to be considered an honor to get one of these bids to the feast; for some folks it's also poverty and standing the landlady off for a month's board bill. For the invitations read something like this: The cost per plate will be $20. Kindly enclose check with acceptance To be sure, folks who haven't the twenty won't be among, the select who dine with the president Tt they did get an invitation, they would have to “hock” their dress clothes (if they have any) to get the twenty, and then they wouldn't be able to go because they would be shy the open-faced garb de riguer (as we French say) which will be required in order hot to mar the tout ensemble of the brilliant gathering of “our best citizens.’ The banquet committee of the exposition directors fig- ures that the function is going to be about the most scrump tious ever seén “in them parts.” Only the folks who have the twenty will have an opportunity to get chummy with our honored guest and recall the good old college days at Yale Maybe a feed that costs less than 20 per wouldn't show proper Tespect for the exalted office of president, but some folks won- der if, after eating one's way from W ashington to San Fran- ciseo with aristocracy, some prominent American, some time, wouldn't enjoy sitting down to a good old two-dollar and just go to it with a lot of fellows in their Sunday clothes reason. What? § ase of Secretary Wilson} Secretary Wilson says he is’ now ready to turn over the whole pure food business to De. Wiley and give him absolute! authority to run it as he thinks best. A very good idea, but) it had to be deposited in the head of the secretary by a ‘surgical Operation and a strong injection of public opinion, Secretary Wilson has dote great work for American agri- culture, but he has outlived his usefulness, He has been sec- retary of agriculture for 14 years, and is over 76 years of age. He whiffles in every wind, especially the wind that blows from Wall st. He stood with Ballinger against Pinchot, with the dope trust against Wiley—until public indignation fell on him like”a thousand ,of brick There is the biggest kind of a constructive job to be done fn the department of agriculture. Mr. Wilson can't do it; it must be done by a younger man, more in touch with cur rent thought and far more responsive to the progressive ten- dencies of the time. * The venerable secretary should have retired with the last administration. Nothing in public life is more pathetic than the useful man who stays too long Potash and Phosphate Germany has about all the known potash in the world. ‘Jt is vital to her agriculture. Hence, she conserves it—goes into the market and buys the potash fields, works them, leases them, fixes prices, limits exportation. She is preserving her rity by sheer force of governmental power. he United States has most of the known phosphate. ‘The commercial fields are chiefly in Tennessee, Soath Caro- fine and Florida. We have allowed foreigners to buy them and ship out of the country this precious fertilizer so essential} to our agriculture. That is the American way, so strikingly in contrast with the German yay Luckily we have some phosphate left on the public lands. | We have withdrawn it from entry until we can devise the best way to use, while conserving it—that is, to meet present | fieeds without wantonly i, the future.
