THREE MEALS A DAY. {Washington Post.J A man can't live on love alone, A man can’t live on thought; A man can’t live on liberty, No odds how dearly bought. All these are nothing to a man— I don’t care what you say— Unless he manages to get Three good square meals a day. A man can lose his pile entire And never turn a hair; But if the ham and eggs are cold There's brimstone in ibe air. A man can lose his hair and teeth. And friends, and still be gay. If he is fixed so he can get Three good square meals a day. A man can wear a smiling face Above a broken heart; A man can grin and bear the pain When fondest hopes depart. The only thing that downs a man And puts him out to stay Is separating him for keeps From three square meals a day. Now, some want gold and some want fame, And some want liberly; But all mankind in every clime On one great want agree, For be they slaves or Emperors, Young lads or sages gray, There's not a one of them but wants Three good square meals a day.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and Oeneral Gossip of the National Capital. From our special correspondent: The Committee which is looking into Panama Canal affairs has gotten itself into a bad tangle at the Very outset of its labors. It has a recalcitrant witness on its hands in the person of Mr. Poultney Bigelow, a magazine writer of some reputation. Mr. Bigelow was a college classmate of Emperor William of Germany and close friend of President Roosevelt beside being a traveler, a good all round sportsman and a writer of international repute. Mr Bigelow, it will be remembered, some time ago wrote a magazine article saying a number of unpleasant things about the Panama situation. He was singled out by Secretary Taft as the one writer among a great many who had been saying unpleasant thiugs about the canal, for a spirited reply. The Secretary alleged that Mr, Bigelow had only been on the Isthmus 28 hours and knew nothing of what he was writing about. However, that is more or less beside the mark. Poultney Bigelow’s article was no more or less severe than a good many others had been but lie was an author of some reputation and therefore a good man to make an example of. The Senate committee undertook to cross-question him as to bis sources of information and why he should dare to write anything against the canal. Now, being a friend of the President, it is not likely that Mr. Bigelow was actuated by any personal malice in the thiugs he wrote. And it has been proved a good many times that newspaper maghzine writers are not given to betraying their sources or information under compulsion. The Senate has been up against this sort of recalcitrance at least once in the past few years in the case of the Sugar Trust investigation. There it had two newspaper men, John Shriver and Chas. Edwards, whom it undertook to put on the rack and forco to divulge the names of their informants in certain matters they had written about. The writers balked and claimed that the things told them were as much privileged hs the. statements made professionally to a priest or a physician. The Senate certified them in contempt and they were constructively convicted but their trial and conviction was a farce and j they never saw the inside of a jail. Whether they were right or whether Mr. Bigelow was right in the things they published became a minor question beside the larger one of the right of a congressional committee to haul up any author and compel him to divulge the names of any people he has talked with in gathering material for an article. The committee has divided on party lines, Senator Gorman and Senator Simmons holding that it is unwise to push Mr Bigelow to extremes, while Senator Knox and his colleagues declare that he should be certified to the President of the Senate and published for contempt. Senator Gorman has taken the common sense view of the case whatever the law may be. For to single Mr. Bigelow out for punishment would be to make a martyr of him before the public and to freeze up any other witness the committee might want to examine. The Capitol is considerably stirred up over the affairs for it involves the whole question of the freedom of the press. It is not likely that it will have any serious cousequences for the writer, but it certainly has put the Senate Committee in an embarrassing position at the outset of its labors. t t t The appointment of Luke C.

Wright as first ambassador to Japan to succeed Loyd Griscom. is something of a surprise. Judge Wright is a Tennessee man and has had six years of hard work in the Philippines where he was sent as a member of the first McKinley commission. It will be recalled that the announcement of the commission was not hailed with any great enthusiasm at the time. Commissioner Taft was an unknown quantity. Luke Wright, while be had held the office of attorney general of Tennessee, was a Democrat little known outside his own state and was thought to have been thrown in merely to give the commission a bi-partiaan color. Henry Ide of Vermont was about equally well known. But as it proved, all three of these little kown men did excellent work. Commissioner Taft was eventually called to the War Department as Secretary. Judge Wright, after winning the affections and confidence of the natives, has now been made an ambassador, and Commissioner Ide is now governor general of the Philippines, which position he will hold for a time at least as an honor before coming home to enjoy a well earned rest.

The Keep Commission’s long expected report on the Department of Agriculture has been published and Secretary Wilson has made at least a partial reply. The report, as was surmised, discredits a good deal of the department’s work in crop reporting and advised changes in methods as well as the transfer of certain of the reports to the Census Office. The retort of Secretary Wilson is that the most of the commissions’ recommendations for improving the service had been put into force when the work of the Bureau of Statistics was reorganized and that as for transferring any of the reports to the Census Office, that is a matter for Congress to deal with, as it is fixed by law and out of the power of the Secretary. The whole matter stands just where it was before the ponderous and secretive commission took the department in hand and it is hard to see where any changes of importance has been recommended, still less to see how any changes can be put into effect till the whole matter is turned over to Congress.

LIVING WITHIN ONE'S INCOME.

Indianapolis Sentinel: For the majority of people, there ia nothing harder to do than to live within the limits of one’s income. The world is full of temptations that coax the dollars from the pocket and, underneath everything, is every man’s inherent vanity and every woman’s inherent vanity that conusels both men and women to spend more than they onght to spend. The young man that takes a wife desires to give her the finest home within bis power—not within his means. The wife may be the daughter of a man of wealth and the young husband may be a man no wealthier than a week’s salary, but, for all of this, the young husband desires to give his wife everything to which she has been accustomed. He does not stop to consider that his newly acquired father-in-law may have spent his life in accumulating the fortnne at bis command and that, manifestly, it is not possible for the young man to have as many dollars ai the old man, On the contrary, the youth casts about for the means whereby what his wife should have if her former place in society is to be maintained can be obtained. And be discovers that it is easy to go into debt. Forthwith he assumes heavy obligations and then and there hangs a millstone about his business career.

Wherever you turn you meet those who have accumulated debts out of all proportion to their income —men and women who are satisfied to live from hand to mouth if they can make a favorable outward appearance and keep out of the bankruptcy court. To keep up with the procession they sink deeper and deeper into the mire. To secure finer apartments, new clothing, seats at the theater, and suppers afterward, they mortgage their future to the modern Shylock into whose net they have fallen, until, no matter how much they may prosper it requires every penny they can procure to meet the 'exorbitant charges for interest upon the money which they have spent to “keep np appearances” There are so many of these persons in the world that young men and women ought to take warning from their fate and thus learn how to avoid such pitfalls. They can see what it costs others to “kebp up appearances,” when actually nobody cares whether they are “kept up” or not, and they can witness the end of all such efforts —the final failure and the scandal of the debtor’s court. From such experiences it should be easy to learu the lession that nothing is cheap if it has to be paid for in the future. If your income prescribes humble fare, stick to your bean and onion soup for the present. You will be all the happier when the day comes in which you can order your champagne and truffles. Moreover, the world will think the better of yon for your abstinence, for you need not imagine that you can fool the world. Everybody knows when your attempt at “keeping up appearances” is a bluff, and society laughs at you quietly in its sleeve. It may condescend to eat your truffles or to occupy your box at the opera, but all the time it knows you are a fool, and when the day of your disgrace dawns it will not hesitate to say “1 told you so.” The trouble is that too little stress is laid upon the dishonesty of debt. Children should be taught that they may as well rob a man at the point of a pistol as to deprive him of his goods when they have no prospect of paying for them, and the quicker the parents and teachers begin to impress this fact upon the minds of the little ones the better it will be for society. Nothing in this world is easier than to get into debt. There are very few things that are harder than to get oat of it.
