The statement of Judge Parker which
received the greatest applause in his re-
sponse at Esopus and in the Democratic
newspapers afterward was in declaring
that he would not be a candidate for a
second term, if elected. The point Of
this is not apparent. The contingency
might arise when the reelection of a
President whose policies were under trial
or under fire would be OF paramount i'm
portance to the country Suppose. for
instance that Abraham Lincoln had de-
clared that he would not accept the pres
idency for a second time. The situation
would have meant a violation of a pledge
or a chaotic condition for the whole
country which might have resulted in its

What Father Cunningham's Life in Brat
tleboro Stood For.


AS we begin to get the perspective on
the life OF the late Rev. Father Cunning
ham and come to realize what 1t really
stood for to the Brattleboro community,
we think it will appear that its most i'm
portant and permanent influence was in
breaking down and removing walls of
prejudice between men because of diff
ference in religious belief. This influence
was undoubtedly unconscious on his part,
and was exerted because he was the kind
of man he was and not because he had
any definite purpose of this kind in his
mind. AS a priest of the Roman Catholic
church Father Cunningham was every
thing that he should be. His mission in
life was to serve that church, and his
| loyalty and devotion were steadfast But
he was so courteous and kind and gentle.
he was so broad in sympathy, he was so
indignant and outspoken about every
thing that lowered individual or public
morals, he was withal so genuine and
| simple and spontaneous about 1t all that
he disarmed criticism, prejudice fed and
one felt instinctively that no harm could
come to community or state or nation
from any system of religion thus eXempli-
fed. This was the effect OF Father Cum
ningham's life upon his Protestant
friends, and we believe it worked equally
in the same direction on Roman Catholics
Those of us who are older know in look
ing back on the past 25 years that there
is in Brattleboro less Of distrust on ac-
count of religious belief now than there
was then and that there is far more o.
tolerance, mutual concession and gooC
understanding between Protestants ant
Roman Catholics. And the quiet, every
day influence of Father Cunningham's life
has been the leading factor in bringing
this beneflcent result about

NO MONEY FOR AIRsHIP.
Fortifications Board Declines to Assis
Prof. Langley at This Time.

Although success is n sight. according to
his statement to the Notifications boa rd.
Prof Langley has declined TO make any re-
quest for further allotment of government
money to carry on his experiments with his
aerodrome. The board however has decid-
ed that it is not advisable at this time to
make further expenditures in that direction
So far the board has allotted the sun, of
$4,000 for the flying machine experiments.
At the last meeting Prof. Langley. in an
swer to request, produced a financial
statement showing how he had expended
the funds. In reply to question he said
that he thought that with a further allot-
ment of $4,000 the machine could be made
to fly. He, however, did not ask outright
for that sum, and the bcaEd acted as stated
above,
Incidentally the professor referred to the
engine used in the aerodrome as a marvel
of efficiency, far surpa ssing anything of the
kind employed for other purposes than driv-
ing flying machine. The engine was so
ligSt that it generated full horse power
for each Is pounds of weight 1t is proba-
BILE that regardless Of tie action of the War
Department, the experiments will continue
with the aid of private funds.

Trust at the time Of the prosecutions by
Attorney General Miller.
The antitrust law is not within the power
Of Congress and is unconstitutional and
void.
No Literal Application Possible."-From
the first report of Mr.. Olney as Attorney
General
There has been and there probably still
is widespread impression that the aim
and effect of the statute are to prohibit
and prevent these aggregations of capt.
tai which are so common at the present
day, and which are sometimes on so large
scale as TO control practically all the
branches of an extensive industry But
as all ownership of property is of itself a
monopoly, and as every business contract
or transaction may be viewed as COM
bination which more or less restricts some
part or kind of trade or of commerce any
literal application of the provisions of the
statute is out of the question.

JAP TOBACCO MONOPOLY.
Situation Should Interest Americans

The representa- of the United States
minister to japan. Mr.. Griscom, concern
ing American interests affected by the
creation of the Japanese tobacco monopoly
will, the Novoe Vremya believes, sharpen
American-Japanese relations.

would more than eat up the income from
the monopoly in the first years, thus Great

TO BEGIN WORK SOON.
Admiral Walker Explains Panama
Canal Matters to Committee.

In concluding his hearing before the
House committee on interstate and foreign
commerce today, Admiral Walker, presi-
dent of the Panama canal commission,
stated that actual work on the canal would
be begun after the commission had made a
stay Of a few weeks on the isthmus, for
which it was to sail March %. The ar
rangements for this work will be completed
in Washington, where the commission is to
have one of its headquarters. Admiral
Walker, in answer to a question: said that
a large number of inspectors would be en-
ployed by the commission. These inspectors
would be engineers, and he did not want
the law to provide that they should be Sc
lected through the civil service commission
admiral" asked Chairman Hepburn,
what you have said in disparagement OF
the civil service commission has been very
painful to some of the members or the COM
mittee. Don't you think it would be pos
sible for you to select what charwomen,
scavengers and water carriers you VIII heeo
through the civil services!
sI am very sorry to be misunderstood,
replied the admiral, because am thor-
ough believer in the civil servlce-When IL
does not apply to us. But am very sure
that 1t would not be satisfactory to the
Isthmus Of Panama"
Admiral Walker explained that the esti-
mate of cost of the canal made Dy the iasl
commission did not include the expense oI
governing the canal zone.
The admiral said that on the steamer on
which the commission was to sail state
rooms had been engaged to the capacity OF
the ship by the agents Of prospective con-
tractors, who wanted TO look the ground
over In this connection, he advised that
no requirement of law should make 1t nee
essary to do the work by contract If this
should be the case, he believed contractors
might combine to the disadvantage of the
government.
The engineering feat of the whole enter
prise was explained to be the construction
of the Bohio dam. 1t Will be necessary to
go 120 feet below sea level to get the proper
foundation for this dam. Although many
borings for rock bottom have been made.
Admiral Walker said that many more
would have to be made, because 1t was es-
sential that the engineers should be abso-
lutely certain of the proper foundation be-
fore beginning the work. Chairman Hep
burn suggested the possibility of failure
to find the proper foundation, and asked
what the commission would do in this
event. He wanted to know il the con-
struction Of the canal depended on this
dam. That was a question which would
| have to be met, was the answer. The ad-
miral, however. had no doubt that 1t was
| feasible to construct the dam. On the
question of a sea level canal, Admiral
Walker declared positively that in his opin-
ion II would never be necessary to go to
the expense of constructing such a canal.
A lock canal would do all the work re-
Quired and cost much less.

CORRESPONDENT EXCLUDED.
British Minister at Tokyo Refuses In
dorsement TO a London Man


TOKYO, March 19.-The British minister
the correspondent of the Daily News. to
accompany the japanese army, giving as
his reason that the reports Hales sent from
the Transvaal during the Boer war were
slanderous of the British army.
The Japanese government requires that
all correspondents should have the indorse-
ment of the resident ministers of the coun-
tries they represent.
Hales will. therefore, be excluded from all
connection with tle army movements.
The War Tax.
The government has not fully disclosed
the proposition concerning the war tax to
be submitted to the special diet about to
meet next week, but 1t now appears as
though it will not propose any change in
the tariff on sugar. but will instead recon-
mend a domestic tax on the basis previous
Iy stated.
1t now seems probable that the only
change effected in the customs tariff will
be an increased duty on kerosene and spir-
its. No discrimination will be made against
Russian kerosene because that trade Is
chiefly in the hands of the British mer-
chants.
1t is Anticipated that there will be a
serious contention in the diet over the taxes
on sugar and silk. and dealers in sugar are
strongly agitating for a reduction in the
rate that it is thought the government will
propose
Committees Meet Daily.
Party committees are meeting daily dis
cussing the tax proposals, and the belief
is expressed that the government will be
forced to modify several features of its
plans, and that it will fail to realize the
total amount originally estimated.
If the tobacco monopoly is enacted it is
estimated that it will be ten years be-
fore it is finally completed, although the
government counts upon earnings from it
in 1904 amounting to twentyfour million
yen, gradually increasing until 1914. when
it is estimated they will amount to forty
million yen.
1t is estimated that it will cost the gov
srnment eight million yen to purchase the
plants and stock required to consummate
the combine and fully nine million yen to
compensate the owners.

continuously for more than two years may
be regarded as having abandoned the citi-
