The past week in the House has been
devoted to the bill for the protection of
the President. Numerous and diverse
have been the opinions Of the legal
lights of the lower chamber on the pro-
visions of the bill but it is deemed like
ly that when the final vote is taken to-
day, 1t will pass without material a.
mendment. 1t did.-ED.
Representative Lacks bill, transfer-
ing the care of the forest reserves from
the department of the Interior to that

will be followed by the Irrigation bill.
There is little doubt that the 1rriga-
ton bill will pass the House and If il
does it will represent the most success
full engineering of legislative action
that the House has witnessed in many
years. When the bill first came over
from the Senate it had few friends in
the House and it was generally predict
ed that it would fail, but Representa-
tive Montell. of Utah, on the Republi-
can side, and Representative Newlands
on the democratic, have accomplished
wonders and despite the opposition Of
the leaders have won friends to the bill
uatil its success is assured.

From OUR REG ULAR CoRREsPoNDENT)
Monday, June 0, 1909.

FROM OUR REGULAR CoRREsPoNDENT)
Monday, June 0, 1902.
A curious scene presented itself to
the observer in the Senate gallery on
Friday afternoon. A penetrating but
bv no means musical voice was declalm-
ing on the advantages of the Panama
route for an isthmian canal, as contrast
ed with the Nicaragua route. Close OBJ
servation revealed the fact that the voice
emanated from arotund gentleman with
no neck to speak Of, who was seated in
the centre of group of perhaps twenty
senator's. On tie right Of the speaker
who frequently mopped his expansive
brow, was young man who handed
him from time to time, the papers to
which he referred in his speech. On
his left stood a page with glass OF wa
ter and fan. The stout gentleman,
who seemed to be laboring prodislous'
", was Senator Marcus A. Hanna and
lie was attempting to refute the able
argument which Senator Mitchell OF
Oregon had presented the day before in
favor of building the proposed canal a.
cross Nicaragua and Costa RIGA. Ow-
ing to his rheumatic leg, he addressed
the Senate sitting.
The debate On the canal was begun in
the Senate Immediately after the Phil
ipplne bill was disposed of and as yet
shows no sign Of abatement. The con-
sensus of opinion seems to be that the
Spooner resolution, instructng the
President to examine into the title OF
the Panama company's property and
purchase it if he deems the title good,
will be adopted. The resolution further
instructs the President, if he should
conclude that the title to the Panama
property is not good, to begin work Oh
the Nicaraguau route. What the House
would do, should the Senate substitute
the spooner resolution for the Hepburn
bill, passed by the former Lody, is hard
to tell, but it is feared that the passage
of the Spooner resolution would result
in a deadlock which would not be re-
moved at this session. There is really
no great enthusiasm for canal legisla-
ton in the Senate and it is generally
admitted that, had Senator Platt been
ready to report the Cuban Reciprocity
bill when the Philippine bill was pass
ed the Canal bill would nave been per-
mitted to remain in committee until
next session.

War Taxes.

While the war taxes that had been
in process of collection for three
years past were abolished by act of
the last Congress, to take effect
July I, it would seem that there is a
probability that the treasury may
still be beneficiary to the extent Of
something like $7o,ooo,ooo that may
yet be collected as a consequence Of
the war-tax act. It seems that the
act passed in 1898 to raise revenue
to defray the expenses of the war
imposed tax on the undivided pro-
fits of the national banks. This pro-
vision Of the law was resisted by the
banks and they appealed to the
courts in their contention that they
ought not to pay the tax. 1t seems
the collection was held in allegiance
awaiting the decision of the courts.
A lower court has lately decided in
favor of the government. If the
higher courts confirm this decision
the banks must pay.

Kitchener.

General Kitchener received a re-
markable ovation upon his return to
England from South Africa last
week. No grander "triumph" was
ever given to a general of Roman
legions upon his return from sue
cessful campaign. And the plaudits
Of the millions who greeted this
stern and simple soldier in London
last Friday were voluntary, spon-
taneous, cordial. The estimate of
Kitchener is based solely upon his
work. His achievements in the
Soudan and in South Africa prove
him to be one of the great men of
the age. The general intelligence
of the English people and their love
of fairness give credit where it is due.
And more than this, they are not
only quick to recognize merit in
their public men but to give it ade-
quate recompense. Parliament vot-
ed Kitchener the sum of $4,000
for services rendered the nation in
South Africa. Many men in this
country think that sum was out of
proportion to the value of the ser
vices rendered. The English look
at things differently to what we do
in the matter of their public servants.
Is not theirs the proper policy? If
a man knows that his services will
be appreciated he will have an in
centive to do his utmost. A review
of Kitchener's work in the Soudan
will show one what sort of a man
he is. A man that gave the ener-
gies of a mighty mind exclusively to
the business in hand. To a man
like Kitchener, supported by public
opinion, nothing is impossible. 1t
is the ability to do and the doing
that is entitled to the respect of men.
There are giants in these days.
