Fifty million-count 'em fifty million
missiles of political warfare . manufac
tured and hurried to the firing line
In the campaign upon which the nation
has Just embarked for the salvation of
the country-and. Incidentally, several
hundred seats In house and senate.
This Is the tally of the annual out
put of Washington's great ammunition
factory, or, rather, wilt be for the year
ending the first of the coming Novem
ber, according to one of the expert
manufacturers engaged In the work. It
will be a record-breaking year in this
regard. . .
The present summer Is the capital's
quadrennial season of special rest and
quiet-the presidential year. To Wash
ingtoniahs June is, of all months, the
laziest of the year. Its soft, languor
ous days drive drowsily away every
thought but of seashore or mountalni
lapped in the breezes of the young
summer, the city . dozes In sleep n?
quietude,' the spell of this presidential
year adding to its somnolence. Even
j in the halls of congress, so lately strir
dent with the raucous - protests of me
steam-roller, there is heard only the
droning monotone of the rending clerk,
and, anon, the low, dull quash of the
veto.'. Senators, representatives, cabinet
officers. In short, every official big
enough to get away without oewg
missed from the complex government
mechihe, have betaken themselves to
the "convention or the country, and only
the mild civil service clerk now pads
softly .through the twilight corridors of
the departmental buildings.
Worlrinsr Overtime. .
In'governmental Washington It Is night
all night In the nighttime, and every day
Sunday, save In that ammunition
factory, the great building of the gov
ernment printing office at the corner
of North Capitol and H streets, north
west. There It is day all day in the
daytime and there is no night; Sunday
(s distinguished only a being somewhat
busier' thai weekdays. The rumbling
machinery whlre Incessantly and tired
shift Is Teplaced by shift Indifferent as
to all times of day or night. Wagons
flash in. receive their bulky ' cargoes
and hurry away to the nearby railwy
station, to return in a few minutes for
more. All night long, from the many
tiers, of windows that pierce the ten-
storied building, the electro-mcrcunc
lamps fling their blue glare far and
wide across the darkened city, silhouet
ting to the Base of the daybreak pedes
trlan the sweating workers ss they flit
busily back and forth. It Is the busiest
place In the United States-it Is business,
magnified, multiplied, raised to th Ntn
power. i
And It must needs be busy, tnis giant
ammunition factory, for it must turn
out the main supply of missiles and pro
jectiles tor the battles in 'this, which
promises , to be the hottest campaign
that ever added het to a superheated
summer.
And not to one, but to both belligerents
must it sunpty their material; material
made according to models approved by
the veteran warriors of the political
arena and fashioned to suit the Indi
vidual ability of the fighter of the par
ticular form of fighting the battle may
assume in different sections of the
country. Here will be found every form
of literary weapon, from the 'small,
caustlo leaflet, containing but a para-
araoh of satire that pierces like a stssi-
Jacketed bullet, to the heavy, forty-page
sclld shot carefully complied iroro sta
tistics, or the oratorical bombshell,
ir..diA last winter by some fareeelng
political general on the floor of the
t.ntiM or senate with a view of burst
ing this summer and scattering destruc
tlon and dismay in some distant strong
hold of the enemy.
Ileluuu of Arguments.
Great sheaf of argumentative arrows
to be shot down from the stump are
turned out by the hundred thousands, and
shipped at ouce to the waiting political
archer, while In the storerooms row on
row of statistical tables, pregnant with
death to the aspirations of the political
opponent, stand ranked like so many cart
ridge clips of the Mauser rule, reaay 10
be requisitioned by the captains in the
field. Indeed, practically the sign now
hanging outside the door of the govern
ment printing office la; "Ammunition
erved at all hours."
It is principally for the 400 and odd' rep
resentatives in congress that this vast
hoard of literary shot and shell is manu
factured. Many of them come up for re
election this fall; even now, though con
gress is still In session, they are girding
up their waistcoats and preparing to
hasten from the task of saving the coun
try's national life in the halls of the
cSpltol to that more Jrnmlnent one of sav
ing their own political lives on the stump
at home. The days when the congress
man was satisfied with a handsomely em
bossed expression of confidence from the
hands of admiring constituents expired
when the first mutterings of the coming
campaign were heard last spring; what
he wants now is votes votes, vbtes, noth
ing but votes. .
And the congressional candidate Is find
ing out more aud more that the way to
get Votes is not by torchlight processions
and Indiscriminate kissing of babies, but
by educating the voter through speeches
and. written argument. Also, the voter,
acquired thus, sticks, too secure in his
rational convictions to be led astray by
such specious methods as baby-klsslng.
Accordingly, all through the sessions of
congress, In which 'he has participated
he has framed his speech not so. much
with a view of making oratorical efforts
that will charm his colleagues of the
legislative halls as of making arguments
that will "read well" In cold type at the
cross-roads store. . ,
poratod in the Record, and thus, under a
few slight restrictions, the orator or any
of his colleagues may, at the expense of
the government, obtain as many copies as
he desires. Thus the government fur
nishes him with all the campaign ammu
nition he desires. He has, for the asking,
sll manner of speeches, carefully written
under the direction of party leaders, and
it Is a mighty poor sort of congressman
who cannot find, in all the vast amount of
oratory unleashed during a term of con
gress, speeches and arguments enough to
overwhelm his opponent
Of course, this works both ways; the
opponent Is pretty generally found loaded
to the Plimsoll mark with congressional
oratory amply supplied to overwhelm his
opponent, being supplied through his con
gressional friends of the same political
party from the same ammunition factory,
Whereupon ensues that meeting of the
Immovable and the irresistible .which In
fuses so much of joy Into the dull life of
the farmer during a campaign, for, be it
known, a farmer will let his crop go hang
and drive his plow horse ten miles to town
to hear a debate between two congres
sional candidates.
Woeful Statistics.
The amount of spell-binding literature
that Is turned out for campaign purp ses
by the government printing office Is
amazing. While it is Impossible to ob
tain exact figures, the writer was in
formed by an official high u that office
that the number of separate documents
printed and sent out by order of various
congressional candidates or obtained
from the office by members of congress
for the benefit of other candidates of
their party would, fur the year ending
with the campaign, approximate 50,000,000.
This is no tale of statistics; b'U, since
it Is impossible for the humai mind to
grasp in the abstract any such vast
quantity as 50.000,000, some concrete re
lations may assist the reader to some
appreciation of what this really rut. m.
There is, according to this of final, an
average of sixteen pages in each of the
documents mentioned. This makes 800,
000,000 pages In the output. Now, if the
printed pages were placed end to end
they would girdle the earth CI -c times
and then have enough left ovor to reach
from Washington to the Philippines, it

wiiuld overtop the Washlngtm monu

build a pile of these three mountain, and
then put a pile Just that high on top of
that stack of pamphlets wrud ovor

If the printed pages could all be laid
flat, side by side, they would cover an
area of ground equal to tweuty-flve
square miles, or more than 16,000 acres.
Bufks Large.
In bulk, the total output would more
than flU a room fifty feet square and
forty feet high; this would embrace
abjut as much room space us U contained
in four or five good sized dwelling houses.
The weight of these documents would be
more thanj 2,000,0oo pounds, or nearly 1,000
tons; it would take a ua.n of twenty
five freight cars to move them. If they
were bound In book form, into the sise
of an ordinary book of iKiO pages, they
would make a library .f 3,'H),000 books

Especially is this true of the session of
congress just preceding a presidential
election. The party leaders lay out
tegular plan of speechmaklng, directed
rot to the proposed legislation in hand,
but to the issues upon which the preai
dentlal and congressional campaigns will
be fought out the following fall. These
speeches are, for the most part, faith'

HOT RUN FROM DEATH'S DOOR
Heirs and Undertakers Cut Loose
for Slice of Dead Man's
Estate.
Wall paper that depicts hunting scenes,
speeding automobiles, fairy stories and
Circus parades is the latest room adorn
ment fad. Most bizarre of all ts a dull
black paper on which In Japanese designs
parrots play among trees.
Wall papers are by no means the simple
proposition they used to be. The ordi
nary demands were satisfied by an ordar
of so many rolls at so much a roll and a
certain number of yards of border, which
was put on with a straight edge. Those
were the days of the simple life so far as
the interior decoration of the average
house was concerned.
Times have Indeed changed. One of
the important developments came when
the use of a cut out pattern In flowers or
garlands, or ribbons and flowers com
bined, was substituted for the old-fashioned
straight band. That first step was
taken only a few years ago, but the ad
vances made since it led the way have
been remarkable. This season brings wall
paper styles of the most complex and
artistic character.
In a general way newest papers are
those that stimulate fabrics. These are
known as jaspe and grass cloth papers.
They look at a distance as If they were
of one color. But at closer range the
fabric effect is seen to be obtained by
imitating the weave with different tones
of the same color. Bometlmes the imita
tion of cloth or of silk is so perfect that
one cannot be convinced until one has felt
of the texture.
Most fascinating of ah are the designs
for children's rooms. A delightful frieze
for a sleeping room is called bedtime and
represents a white-robed procession of
little folks who are so evidently under the
sandman's spell that It makes one yawn
just to look at them.
Knrsery Papers.
Nursery papers are growing more en
chanting every year. There is one frieze
called the Billy Circus which is as good
as a picture book. It is eighteen inches
high and at Its full length goes on from
one circus feature to another for a length
of thlrty-slx feet. First comes the cal
liope of fancy, drawn by a camel, played
by a laughable creature In high hat and
flowing locks. Next comes a group of
Jockeys, then the clowns, very much dis
turbed because a pair of giraffes insist
on browsing on the clown's crop of
whiskers. Elephants and giants and
dancing bears and performing dogs and
trick donkeys and the daring lady rider
bursting through a psper hoop; all these
kand more form a frieze which would be
a never ending source of delight to chil
dren.
Then there Is a set of panels called
"Playtime." Each Is eleven by twenty
eight Inches and in gay colors on a gray
or white ground. In fact there are sev
eral sets of these playtime panels. They
can be placed continuously as a frieze or
can be separated and used on a plain
background of paper. There are other
stiles for the nursery, doll panels, jungle
"cutouts" or figures of animals that
can be cut out and pasted on foliage
paper, producing a very realistic effect.
Another design, called the Barnyard, is
a running design of a rail fence against
a background of hills and sky. Lambs
are capering in the meadows, beyond a
rooster is crowing on top of the fence,
a family of pigs is being watched by a
little girl through the fence, and so on.
The children are not the only ones for
whom these wonderful wall paper pic
tures are provided. Panoramic friezes,
as they are called, are now shown at a
few places that rival good paintings as
mural decorations. In fact they are
copied from oil paintings made expressly
for that purpose. One Of these Is called
"The Forest" and comes in seotions al
most four feet wide by six feet high.
These are used as panels, separated by
wooden strips and with a panelled
wainscoting below. 1
There are several of these woodland
pictures, some to be used around the
upper section of the side wall and giving
a really beautiful effect of atmosphere
and distance. They are lovely In color
ing and composition. One which is called
"Le Soir" (Evening) is claimed to be
beyond anything that has been at
tempted in wall paper. It Is almost four
feet deep and ten feet long. The same
scene can be repeated of course continu
ously around a room, or can be used on
each side surrounded by appropriate
border designs, or a different picture
can be used on each side wail. There is
a corresponding painting (for these seem
almost like the original painting) called
"Le Matin" (Morning). Most of these
designs come also In tapestry effects,
some of them so well done as almost to
defy detection.
And then there are the lively friezes
intended for billiard rooms, smoking
rooms and similar apartments. One of
these, described as "an automobile tour
in southern California," shows successive
happenings to various motorists among
the palms and orange trees and old mis
sions of the Pacific slope. In one of them
a country boy is trying to control tiin
unsophisticated old Dobbin, who Is doing
an agitated two step on his hind l$gs at
the sight of the devil wagon. Poetic
Justice is satisfied in another section of
the series, where the motorist ' has
.crawled under his disabled car and Is
tinkering at it while the women of the
party wander amid the tropical vegeta
tion of the landscape;
This frieze Is thirty inches deep and
runs for thirty feet without coming to
the end of the tour in southern Cali
fornia. Other automobile friezes are pro
vided; but neither Is the horse forgotten.
There are wonderful coaching scenes;
hunting scenes where scarlet coated
riders and spotted hounds follow the deer
through the forest and over hills, leaping
fences and tumbling into streams; an
other hunting scene of colonial days, and
still another with hounds, riders and
spectators gathering for an English meet
All of these are well drawn and colored
and are so tempting that one would like
to have a whole houseful of aproprlate
rooms to put them in. One of the coach
ing friezes is made up of scenes from
Dickens.
Paneled Rooms.
As a contrast to these vigorous de
signs there is a music room scheme in
lovely soft grays, but with the inevitable
separation of the wall into panels by the
use of cut strips applied to the founda
tion paper. The panels, of course, do not
reach the celling. There Is a frieze, It
self divided Into panels, in the center ot
each of which Is a lovely oblong medal
lion showing a sort of Watteau musioal
party. Here one finds the only real
color in the whole scheme. The man's
coat is pink, the two women wear pale
blue. With this exception everything Is
in tones of gray and pearl and white.
The most bizarre of the novelties are
the imported black papers whjch Eng
land has taken up with considerable
eagerness. The ground is a dull black,
on which, in the leading Japanese de
signs, gay parrots disport themselves
among the branches of flowering tree
These black papers are the only onsa
now fashionable in which there is an all
over floral design. One of them Is thickly
covered with conventionalized sprays of
small green leaves.
But even in this case the wall Is to be
divided Into the Inevitable panels. Th?
strips provided for this purpose are abou
ten Inches wide and have a black back
ground against which on a green branch
site a peacock, very long and very gay
as to his neck and tall. 'Furniture houses
are showing black bedroom sets with
painted designs of parrots and birds of
paradise and flowers.
The idea of one of these black rooms,
even relieved by the gay birds and floral
decoration, is somewhat depressing; but
the theory is that It will be quite the re-

From Our Near Neighbors
Immediately after the death June 30 of
Henry Montgomery, civil war veteran
rand wealthy ' negro of Shelby'vllle, Ind.,
relatives Ot the man rushed to the court j
house to probate his will, which gives
generous slices of the estates to brothers,
sisters and nephews.
An Interesting fight promises to develop
over the settlement of the estate, for a
son, Henry, the only direct heir, reached
the court house almost as soon as the
other relatives and filed objections to the
probating of the wtlL . He seeks to have
the will set aside so be may get pos
session of the estate.
The father and son had quarreled
recently, and a guardian vas named for
the former on the theory that he was
dissipating his estate, and the guardian.
Attorney D. L. Wilson, is assisting the
ron In the fight for possession of the
property. The will, whloh was written
by Charles Major, the novelist Mar &
came as a surprise to the son and
guardian.. The relatives who were to
benefit by it remained at the Montgomery
home all night ready for the dash to the
court as soon as the dying man had
passed away. To add to the turmoil, two
undertakers had a misunderstanding
about the funeral arrangements, each
declaring he had authority to conduct the
funeral. Judge Blair of the circuit court
was very angry when he learned 'the
truth in the case, and announced there
would be no further hasty action In bis
