WHEREABOUTS OF THE GOVERN
MENT OF THE U. S. A.
ABROAD
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President—
Paris, Prance.
Hon. Robert Lansing, secretary of
state—Paris, France.
Hon. Josephus Daniels, secretary of
the navy—Somewhere in England.
Hon. Newton D. Baker, secretary of
war—Somewhere in France.
AT HOME
Hon. Albert Sidney Burleson, post
master general.
Now we call that particularly un
kind. The New York Tribune, from
which the above was taken, has very
strangely omitted to mention the fact
that Hon. William Cox Redfield, sec
. _nloA 11 At
ictai j ui — -
Home.” Not only that, but he is “on
the job.” Possibly he would admit,
it asked why he is not abroad with
the rest of the government, that,
“causes beyond my control have in
tervened.”
The state o£ affairs to which the
Tribune calls attention is certainly
worthy of thought. With so many of
the executive officers of the govern
ment “abroad” and the rest of them
“up in the air” it would seem that if
might be worth the while of the con
gress to define the “official station” ol
the president and his cabinet officers
Many constitutional lawyers hold t<
the view that the absence of the Presi
dent abroad is wholly unwarranted, il
not illegal. It is quite within the pos
sibilities that a test of the legality ol
his actions as President while he has
been on foreign soil may yet be made
However, that may be, it would seem
that the congress might well, by legal
enactment, define his privileges ir
that respect. One thing is certain
when the people of the United States
elected him to the Presidency, no one
had in mind his departure from the
territory of the United States as a
self-appointed peace delegate abroad
We believe that a mojority of the peo
pie of this country hold to the opinion
that he had no right to leave the soil
of the United States while he was
President. The congress should takt
such action as shall settle the ques
tion for all time to come.
LITTLE ACTUAL BUSINESS
It is said that, although there art
many inquiries from abroad for oui
dyes, there are only a few actua
orders. The reason for this is sus
pCULCU IU UC LUUL U ajjuiivuv. uv/uiviu »•*>
trying to get a line on our prices ii
order to know what to ask for theii
own dyestuffs.
The United States is not the onli
country which has developed a dyi
industry on account of the war. Japan
Australia, Canada, France and Grea
Britain have all made remarkabli
progress. France and Great Britain
are not, to say the least, doing any
thing to aid us in building up an ex
port arade in dyestuffs. On the con
trary, they are hindering all they can
In fact, they want to sell dyes heri
themselves. Japan is not only largely
supplying her own trade, but is ex
porting to the Far East and to Soutl
American countries.
With all these nations, not onl;
reaching out for export trade tha
might well be supplied by us, bu
actually planning to Invade our hom<
markets, there is only one thing to-bi
done. We must as speedily as pos
sible enact a tariff law which will no
only be amply protective of our dye in
dustry, but of all other lines as well

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23 (by As
sociated Press).—“The Palace bar
turned into a soda-water and ice
cream parlor—Gosh!” To men who
are reaching the sunset days of their
lives; who were a part of the hectic
period of the Comstock mining boom
and other famous bonanza days in the
various sections of the unfettered
west with its open gambling and many
famous bars and hotels it becomes an
effort of the imagination to picture
the transsition which will occur
July 1.
But the Palace Hotel bar, will make
the change, it has just been an
nounced. The largest and most famous
of the far western institutions of that
character, whose net income is said
to have been in the nieghborhood of
$175,000 a year, where men discussed
millions over their cocktails or high
balls and where many a gigantic min
ing, land or stock deal was consum
mated, will fall in line. Behind this
bar hangs Maxfleld’s Parrish’s mural
decoration “The Pied Piper of Ham
nn, wmcn cost tne management $zo,
000. A companion piece, “Old King
Cole,” hangs in the Knickerbocker
hotel in New York.
The Lick bar, rebuilt since the
earthquake and fire of 1906, is asso
ciated with the early days of the city
and about the name cluster many of
the associations of the vigilantes who
put an end to murder and lawlessness
in San Francisco.
The same may be said of the Ex
change saloon, the marble floor of
which was shipped around the Horn
about 1849. It was the headquarters
of the leaders of San Francisco af
fairs.
In Bakersfield, is the Southern Bar.
It was the scene of many a revel of
titled and high born Englishmen who
used to ride in from the colony at
Rosedale and, filling themselves with
sparkling wine, were prone to remem
ber their mounts by pouring bottles of
champagne down the throats of their
horses. Tradition is that Lord Shaltc
Douglas was one of the gay blades.
With the passing of the liquor trade
will go Jack Doyles place at Vernon
known to all followers of the prize
ring and where nearly one hundred
bartenders serve the crowds. Here in
their heydey have passed Jeffries
Johnson, Choynski, Fitzsimmons, Kid
McCoy, Britt, Ritchie, Young Corbett
McGovern, and many other men famed
in the history of the prize ring.
In Los Angeles, the Oak, situated
near the courthouse, already had
passed out. Its nickname of “Dyna
mite Reef’ was acquired, not on ac
count of any high power stock it may
have carried, but because it was the
favorite meeting place for many oi
those concerned in the blowing up oi
the Los Angeles Times building.
Other saloons of Los Angeles
around which memories of various
sort cling were “Dead Rat,” known
to police and newspapermen; the
Paqtheon, the heart of Chinatown
near which more than a score of Chi
nese were lynched by a mob more
than a quarter of a century ago; and
the “Bucket of Blood,” a name to be
found in many western cities.
