Not So Much as an American Flag to
Drape Francis VOLTS
Coffin.

EASTON. Pa, May 2S.-Without so
much as an American flag TO drape his
coffin or a detail of soldiers to fire a
salute over his grave. Francis p. Wolf
who died in the Philippines as a pri-

one of the pallbearers, the others be-

McCluslSy, a fifteen-year-Old lad, and
another elderly man.
Or the way to the cemetery Mr. Wolf

Not a Subsidy Commission.
Business of Congressional Body Is to
Investigate.

The shipping commission, appointed
at the recent session Of Congress, and
composed of five Senators and five
representatives, is described in some
quarters as a subsidy" commission.
This. of course, is with view to dis
crediting it by representing it as al
ready agreed upon a subsidy policy.
The truth is that the commission is
one simply of investigation. 1t is
made up of men who az present enter
tain widely variant views upon the
shipping question. Its function is to
collect information, to prosecute the
fullest and freest inquiry. to listen to
whatever suggestions and recommen-
dations may be made. and. sitting the
facts and opinions which it collects,
to present such recommendations as
1t may be able to agree upon on the
first day Of the next session of Con-
gress. After its present hearings
it will then go to the Middle West,
and the Far West as Iar as Puget
Sound, and later to Southern and
Eastern ports
What its recommendations may be
no one Of its members now knows.
Certainly no outside observer and
critic can know. 1t may suggest
subsidies; it may favor differential
duties; it may discover some other
remedy for existing conditions which
is better than either But its mem
bers have open minds They want to
know and sift the facts; and after
that very likely the most difficult
work which they will have to do will
be to agree upon a policy.
But the outcome. in any case, will
be that the country will know more
about this vital question than 1T ever
has known before.

bench, by the members of the District
bar. had ring Of sincerity that did
not require the presentation of a sill

The Alligator Party.
Time for the Democracy to Change Its
Ancient Symbol.

I
Ancient Symbol.
For many years the Democratic
party has been represented by a pa
tent and demure little donkey-pos-
sibly the Issachar of Scripture
crouching between two burdens. since
the most serious perils which the
party has suffered have come from
being divided on national questions,
so that the leader had to fight not
only the opposite party, but the other
wing of his own party The time has
come, however. when this symbol
may appropriately be changed.
In view of the fact that the DEM
ocratic platform is undiscoverable,
that the party has committed itself
to so many theories az TO be more or
less suited and unsuited to every eli
mate and environment, that it is
neither gold nor silver, imperialist,
nor anti-imperialist, with anything
like settled conviction, a creature
with characteristics so distinct as
those of the donkey is clearly insult
able as the symbol of the party.
The party is amphibious; it fought
the Panama canal idea tooth and nail,
as if traffic by land were far prefer
able TO traffic by water as means
of national prosperity, yet, the canal
once dug, it will slide into he water
as contentedly as a duck. It's jaw is
Of unusual strength and development,
and its tail is a most dangerous
weapon, being likely to curve about
and hit the ,ncautious observer en-
gagged in keeping out of the way of
the head. Above all, it's arguments
at present consist almost entirely of
allegations unsupported by logic.
When a party's chief business in life
is allegation, what can it be called
save the Alligator party?
