He Look, Like Roosevelt.

For several days a gentleman has
been Seen.0n the streets Of Washing
ton who resembles President Roose-
velt very closely. He is not quite so
tall and not quite SO broad. but has
the same impetuous stride, holds bis
head in a similar position; has hair Of
the same color, a similar mustache,
prominent upper teeth, and a pair of
glasses are perched on the bridge OF
his nose. AS he passes down the street
people nudge each other and say:
There goes the President" Over in
the War Department the other morn
ing the doorkeepers and messengers
arose and stpod respectfully at sat
tention" when he walked along the
corridor, but when he was pointed out
to a southern member of congress, the
latter looked at him curi0uSly for a
moment and remarked: ssIf that's
Teddy, he's shrinkin'." The stranger
proved to be Colonel Webb Hayes OF
Cleveland, the eldest son Of the late
President Hayes, who, like the presi.
dent, was volunteer in the Spanish
war, and not only did gallant service
in Cuba, but accompanied General
Chaffee to China and participated In
the raids against the Boxers.

The decision of the immigration
commissioner TO appoint four women
inspectors whose duty 1t shall be to
board incoming steamships before
their arrival In port in order to inspect
the passengers, has caused consider

Commissioner Sargent vas in doubt as
to whether women could be found to
accept the positions, inasmuch as the
duties would involve climbing a long
ladder from a cutter to a steamship
with both vessels in motion. His
doubts, have been removed. however,

The customs congress Of American
republics is right in urging a series OF
reciprocity arrangements between the
various countries of the continent.
This was an idea which received a
great deal Of attention from Henry
Clay. 1t was one of James G.. Blaine's
projects. Neither statesman accom-.
piished much in a practicaI0way, al.
though each made a beginning in bis
work. There is a chance here fol
some wise craftsmanship on the part
Of congress in Washington. Manifestly
however, this is altogether too vast a
question to be dealt with in The short
time remaining of the life of the pres.
ent congress.

The present legislature ought to
provide for the c~odification and revi-
sion of the laws Of the state relating
to corporations. By this is meant the
laws relating to county and township
business, highways gravel roads, street
improvements, insurance-in short.
those relating to all municipal, pub
lie and private corporations. There
has been no general revision of the
laws of the state since 1881, and that
was incomplete. A commission ap-
pointed under an act Of the legisla-
ture of 1879. consisting of James S.
Fraser, John A. Stotsenberg and
David Turpie. reported to the General
Assembly of 1881 sixty-seven bills, of
which ~thirty-two passed. two were
defeated and thirty-three failed in the
senate for want of time to act upon
them. The failure of these bills to
pass neceSSitated a new compilation,
and the board was continued for that
purpose. Its final report was not sat-
isfactory to the board itself. There
has been no authorized revision of the
laws since that time, and in the in
terval many new ones have been
enacted. A general revision of all the
laws is desirable. but at present it is
proposed to revise and codify only
those relating to corporations. Ac-
cOrding to the testimony of lawyers
these are inharmOniOuS and quite un-
suited to present conditions. This is
SO far true that some important cor
porations doing business in Indiana
have. found it advisable to organize
under the laws of other states, and
this state is constantly a large loser in
fees on this account.-Indianapolis

EXPERIMENTATION business is,
when a home burns down, to give the
owner some money TO build a new
one. 1t is a good business. Queer
that the world got on so long without
il.
We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too. What is better
we paint the houses that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn;
we insure the houses that don't. You
have the ashes and smoke; all the
houses are ours.
We paint ready paint; Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't
paint.
Lead and oil is the old-fashion paint.
Devoe is good paint-thIngs ground In
with the lead and linseed oil; the best
paint in the world: and the cheapest,
because the work is all done by ma

Nobody wants poor paint; there's
lots OF it, though. in the world.

Hon. Judge Howard a former judge
Of the supreme court indorses senate
bills Nc. Al. Speaking of the bill the
following is In part what be says:
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Jan. 4, 1908.
Mr.. WILLIAM O'KEEFE, Co. TREAS,
Plymouth, Ind.
DEAR SIR:-I have read the bill IN
PRODUCED into the legislature to require
state and county treasurers to deposit
public funds in their hands in banks
and collect interest on daily balances
of the same.
1t strikes me that as the money be.
longs to the public, the public ought
to have any interest paid on the
funds. But it is not only the right
of the people to have this interest that
makes it desirable that such a bill
should become a law. The safety of
the principal would thereby be better
secured; as the deposits would have
the double security OF treasurer's bond
ane bank bond.
Then it is to the advantage Of the
treasurer himself. He should not be
subjected, as now, to the. temptations
OF risking the public money In unsafe
investments and so very often, running
himself at the same time. that be
causes loss to the public.
The bill should, Of course, be care
fully scrutinized to see that it is In all
respects legal in form and drawn so as
to secure the utmost safety Of the pub
lie fund. .
But the principle Of the bill is
evidently sound and the move
ment is in one Of the best interests of
good. honest government.
Very Truly Yours,
T. E. HOWARD.

Zoo Mich Power ii One Man.

-f - 2 49, "N = -H ri
The action OF the secretary Of the
treasury in calling upon the banks tt
replace their deposits of state and mu.
nicipal bonds with government bonds
may be, and probably is, a wise and
conservative move, but it is proof pos
tive that our financial system gives
too much power to one man.
Last autumn in the stress of ''crop'
moving" and when money became
very scarce, Secretary Shaw did all in
his power to relieve the situation, and
to induce the banks to take out more
circulation on government bonds, per.
hitting them to substitute state OF
municipal bonds as security for the
government deposits.
This policy occasioned much discus.
sion and some criticism Of the secre'
tary, but the country settled down tC
the opinion that it was all right, par,
ticularly as it was actuated by the
best of motives-that of relieving 9
very great money strlngency.
The plan was successful and the
danger of a money panic was averted
but there were those who foresaw that
a secretary who could step in and con
troll the money circulation of the coun
try, and keep his hand on the throttle
that let on or cut off the supply o.
money at his own sweet will, possessed
entirely too much power.
And yet that is the power the secre
tary holds. and while Mr.. Shaw hal
exercised it most beneicially for tn,
interests of the country, it requires M
vigorous imagination to understand
that another secretary could exercise
it solely for the aggrandisement of him
self and ftiends. Chicago Journal.

Gas City, Ind, Jau. 26.-Because
they called him cyclone" Charles
Moore, so years old, fired a shotgun
into the Thompson bottle works, in
juring Charles Hawn and John Jones,
aged 10 and 16 years, respectively.
Moore, who has for many years lived
here. is known by every one as "Cy-
clone" He has always shown a strong
dislike to the name. As he passed
the bottle plant Hawn and Jones shout
ed, Hello, Cyclonew
Moore made no reply, but hurried to
his home and procured a shotgun and
returned to the factory. Before the
boys could get away Moore fired the
load Of shot through the open win
dow. Hawn was injured about the
head, and Jones received a part Of the
load i'm his left leg. This is the third
time Moore has fired into the Gas City
factory because he was called by the
nick name.

The Panama Route is Settled.

The signing of the treaty with Co.
lombia in respect to the Panama canal
gives assurance that the great enter
prise is now a fixed fact. 1t was but
natural that the poorer republic should
do some bargaining and endeavor to
make as much out of the transaction
as possible, and it is proper that the
United States should deal literally
with it, but there was probably never
a moment when the Colombian gov
eminent did not intend that the ne
gotiations should end favorably to the
canal.
1t could not afford to let the oppOr-
tunity go bv, for unless the United
States built it, the canal at Panama
would be impossible. With the canal
there, and the enormous sums of
money that will be expended in its
construction, and afterward in its
maintenance and administration, an
impetus will be given to Colombian
prosperity such as that country has
never known. 1t will offer fields OF
enterprise of which the world will not
he slow in taking advantage.
The details of the treaty are not yet
#t"r.4 -. t~a
made known, but their geneaal scope
is well understood.
Whether the senate will ratify it at
this session OF not is of no great mo.
ment. Perhaps it might be better to
await the action OF the Colombian
congress.
President Roosevelt can convene the
senate at any time, and it might not
be a bad idea to wait until after the
4th Of March and then cali the senate
