" Roasts" Our Forefathers.

Mrs. Kate Woodbury., of Covington,
Kentucky, who is a woman of great
talent and force of character, author
OF Republics vs.. Women" has written
a letter to the public giving her rea-
sons for resigning membership in the
order known as Daughters of the
American Revolution" of which she
had been made charter member. She
writes that when she consented to be.
come sponsor for the order, she was
under the impression that the fathers
OF the Republic had regarded women
as units of power in the government.
She has since learned that she was
mistaken in that belief, and she could
not, therefore, labor consistently with
the movement. She concludes her
letter with thi. caustic arraignment:
"As 1 feel it would be want of self
respect in women to honor fathers Of the
blood who had repudiated and disinher-
tied them, SO l feel it is inconsistent
with the highest sex esteem to belong
to a society, the purpose of which is
chiefly to honor the fathers of govern
ment who have repudiated and disin-
herited my SEX"

Has Monarchial Spirit Developed?

Its hardly possible that there il any
truth in the statement OF FL C0hmer-
ca, published at Havana, that there
exists in Boston monarchical society,
whose object 1t is 10 place the United
States under a royal dynas'y. This
order. it SAYS, hears the name of the
order Of It. George, and that, at late
meeting, matters had so far progressed
rs that it was agreed to name as the
future king OF the United States Prince
Rupert Of Bavaria, who is a descendant
81 Charles Edward OF England. In
support OF this there were presented
documentary proofs, among them a
letter written TO Prince Charles at the
time Of the revolution in the United
States, Offering him the throne Just as
soon as the Americans could depose
George III.
The Cuban paper says that a proc
lamation has been secretly circulated
over the country urging the need OF a
change d" in order to rid the country OF
quarrels and contests OF the different
parties, and permit the people to enjoy
the protection in their rights individ-
ually, and to enjoy the fruits Of their
labors in peace and prosperity, under
an honorable government"
1t may be possible that such an idea
may have found support with some OF
those who have satisfied their ambi-
ton so far as the acquisition of wealth
is concerned, and who are waiting for
some other incentive to human aspira.
alton, such as rank and title, but that
the Order of st. George has perverted,
to any alarming degree, the patriotism
and true Americanism OF the masses
is beyond belief. The corrupting in
fluence of money has been felt, how
ever, since it took only thirty pieces of
silver to corrupt disciple to betray
the Saviour of mankind.
1t seems little strange, however,
that we have to 60 to our little neigh.
Dor that we have lifted from the mire
to ascertain conditions that, if true,
show the existence OF rank treason in
our midst. Let US hope that the gar
den-spot of American civilization is
not afflicted by this upas.growth.

UNDIGEsTED SECURITIES" SAYS
MoRGAN.-Our language is under obi
cations to the multi-millionaire for a
new word, or rather term, "undigested
securities" but he has not shown the
aptitude OF all good photographers by
giving a plain, simple definition for it.
We do not know whether "undigest-
ed" securities are the kind that were
under-ripe when assimilated, and have
to wait proper season for alimenta-
ton, or that they are of the kind that
need a merger to supply the aid that
the Stuart or the Garrison tablet does
towards digestion. Digested securities
are probably those which pay the
enormous dividends and enable cor.
porations to have a manager with a
million dollar salary.

IT seems that the Doukhobers, those
insane people who svarmed from Can.
ada across our northern border, a few
weeks ago, and had to be deported,
are in fair way for recovery, from
one at least OF their foibles. 1t will be
remembered that they hauled their
carts, wagons, and even the pillow in
the fnrrow, rather than to impose a
burden, as they called it upon dumb
animals - horses and oxen. They
have now so far renowned their creed
as to admit OF use OF power and ma.
chinery, and seem willing to adopt
Canadian customs.

WHAT MORGAN THINKS OF IT.

WHAT MORGAN THINKS OF IT
Financier Morgan seems to have land
ed right side up in the cyclone created
by the merger decision. He says that
instead of looking upon it as blow to
railroad enterprise, he regards it in
quite different light. The decision
places the matter just one step nearer
the L. S. Supreme Court, and had the
Securities company won, it would I'M
doubtedly have been carried to the
court Of last resort by the government.
The matter is of such importance that
an appeal was assured. And here is
the more important opinion expressed
by the great manipulation: "When
railroad men know exactly how the
law is to be interpreted, they will
probably find good ways to see that
properties are operated economically
and profitably," which undoubtedly
means that capital will discover means,
probably by new legislation, to accom-
plish by indirection the objects sought,
which will serve the purpose while
undergoing the ordeal of testing its
validity. If anybody believes that the
octopus will die from a severance of a
tentacle or two, they count without
reason.
