AS TO PANAMA.

The feeling of dissatisfaction with
affairs on the isthmus of Panama is
growing. 1t is not impossible that this
will be one of the liveliest subjects of
legislation with which Congress has to
deal this winter. An intimation from
Oyster Bay that the President may
ask Congress to legislate regarding
the construction of the canal at the
extra session demonstrates that he him.
self is becoming uneasy over these
criticisms. Here in Washington there
are wiseacres to exclaim that "Sen-
ator Morgan was right after ALL" I'm
doubtedly the former advocates of the
Nicaraguan route will frequently re-
mark in debate during the winter: "l
told you So" One of the most en-
ergetic of these Nicaraguan advocates
was Col. 'Pete" Hepburn, of Iowa,
who has recently been visiting in Ha-
waii.

will be November l. At best the extra
session can have but three weeks in
which to work and so there is much
interest to ascertain what special sub
jects of legislation the President will
name in his extra session message. 1t
is almost certainty that no one of
them can be finished before the extra
session has ended and the time for
the assembling of the regular session
is at hand.

cARTER's VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

And thus, with the hottest summer
up to the present time that has been
experienced here for at least three
years, Washington is moving along to-
wards the autumn months. Every few
days something transpires at Oyster
Bay to make the official world here take
notice. This morning it was dispatch
about the long expected arrival there
of Gov. Carter, of Honolulu. The tone
of this dispatch was one of some levity,
indicating that Gov. Carter was pro
ceeding to the President IS domicile for
the purpose o. securing a vote of con-
fdence. He had luncheon with the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt today but
Washington is not in position to
know much more about the conference
at present than is Honolulu. 1t is
thought likely that Gov. Garter will
come here, as mail for him is still col
lecting at tho Interior Department..
Gov. Carter's friend, Chief of the For
est Service Clifford Pinchot, with whom
he stops usually on coming to Wash
ington, left here a few days ago for
an extended trip throughout the West,
inspecting forest reserves.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.

There is again talk, proceeding from
the President, about calling an extra
session of Congress in November. 1t
was stated from Oyster Bay day or
two ago that the extra session would
be called for November IL. The, Con-
gressional experts here in Washington
forthwith consulted the calendar and
found that November IL falls on a
Saturday. 1t is very unusual, prob
ably unprecedented, for Congress to
convene on Saturday, In recent annals
the meeting day has always been
Monday, although occasionally Con-
gress adjourning for a recess has ad-
iourned TO some day in the middle of
the week, like Tuesday or Wednesd y.
Now much speculation follows as to
what reason the President can have
for assembling Congress in such an
unusual way.
Some think the reason is to be found
in the President S superstition with
reference to the number l3. Tie Mon
day, following Saturday, the Iith, will
be the 18th. He promised Speaker
Cannon and other leaders in Congress
that he would not call an extra session
before the November election, which

ANGLO AMERICAN CLAIMS.

The Solicitor of the State Depart
ment, Mr.. William l.. Penfeld, was ask
ed today what progress has been made
towards a commission to settle claims
between this government and Great
Britain. Such commission has been
in mind for some time and is of inter
est in Hawaii because it is proposed
to bring the British claims in Hawaii
before it for adjudication. Mr.. Pen
field replied that the appointment of
such commission was apparently as
sured, but there were some little obsta-
cIes in the way. To remove these some
time might be required, probably a
few months. This government is now
apparently ready to consent to such a
commission, but the British govern
ment is waiting FOR the right time for
it to cooperate in such a commission.
There are quite number of claims on
the part of both countries and the pur-
pose is to sift these out, determine
which amounts to the largest sum,
strike the amount of the difference and
pay the same, leaving the respective
nations to settle with the individuals.

OUR GIRLS, GOD BLESS 'EM

We are just beginning to catch the echoes from Eng
land anent an event which Los Angeles and. it's
vicinity have right to be duly proud-the winning
of the women's tennis championship by daughter of
our own May Sutton of Pasadena. And it is good to
that in merrie England this young athlete is taken
for just what she s-an earnest, unaffected American
girl free of folderols, who went there for the
championship and let foolishness stand in her way
of getting it.
Speaking of this, read what the London Chronicle
had to say of her work:
"In England, strenuous young women
days the game, there Is still certain amount OF
concession fancy in the of bouses and shoes and
ties and Wristbands and such things. Some ladies, in
deed have gone far during the week as to ad
venture their chance for the championship beneath n
really pretty sunbonnet
with Miss Sutton. all this is nothing worth In
a plain white sort of washerwoman's blouse without
collar without tie, without cuffs, with no appearance
of a waistband with short threequarter' skirt black
stockings and low white shoesin short with really
ornament at all pink ribbon tying up her bonny
brown hair at the neck though to keep 1t out of the
way-thus appareled Miss Sutton faces her opponents
with air of confidence that is quite refreshing
"Magnifcenty muscular, she appears to care moth
ing for the minor graces, the little tricks and
lodges in which her male compatrots delight She is
all for the rgor of the There is no tripping after
the ball with her. showing on her figure at the net

and sends the ball the net in terrific drives
Yet with 1t all, there Is nothing onensively mascu-
line about her. She gives one the impression Of being
just fine strong, healthy, athletic American girl She
is at any rate, kind of tennis player that will take
deal of beating"
It is hard to keep back a cheer for our California
girls after such tribute OF course have known all
things this long while but it is good to have
the world acknowledge them Here's to little Miss SUIT

to teach the gores of the California brand

had a statuesque and very large head
and shoulders and magnificent torso.
The great opponent of Lincoln was al
most as dark as the famous Black
Douglas himself, while Wallace Leach
had a complexion of the ultra forid
caste.
How the vagary ever got possession
of his mind and how he came to ex-
plot it at this time is one of those
things that, as Dundreary says, "a
fellow cawn't find out. you know"
Poor Stephen A. Douglas had to en-
dure great many hard knocks during
his varied career, but to have had to
be responsible for the parentage of
Wallace Leach would have been dem

Leach was retired from politics with
the campaign whose untoward results
I have described. He became a very

from his horse in San Diego. which
was always his home during his resi-
dence in California.

A DISGRACEFUL SPECTACLE

The startling statement has been made by local
clergyman that in three Los Angeles cafes within thirty
minutes he three hundred and fortyseven girls
drinking intoxicating liquors and young girls car
ried out in a helpless condition"
The statement almost beyond belief, notwith-
standing its credible How could the reverend
observer have assured himself that many girls in
these different resorts drinking intoxcants, all
within half hour? But with liberal allowances
for overcounting, the report is astounding enough to
shock the moral sensbility of the community.
The who operate the places complained of and
all others in their line of business should be made to
understand at that the people Of Los Angeles will
tolerate such spectacle is here presented If the
propeors Of such places imagine that the result of the
antisaloon election meant Endorsement Of these
orgies they woefully mistaken Not citizen in
who voted against the closing of the saloons would
for moment think of indorsing such shocking scenes
as are revealed in the above statement.
1t is unquestionably the duty Of the police commits
drastic in stopping these
at once. They disgrace to the city and shame
to every decent person in the community. No such
scenes would be possible if the laws regulating the
selling of liquor strictly enforced, and it is the
duty of the police department to that they
forced

One night in the heart of the con-
gressional campaign, Wallace Leach
spoke from a stand in front of the
Downey block. The best people of Los
Angeles were on the platform and in
the audience. He seemed to me to be
excited and nervous and to be acting
very much as If he had been drinking
too much, as many people afterward
charitably assumed to have been the
case.
His Wild Tale
To the astonishment of everybody he
launched into a long rigmarole to the
effect that he was the bastard son OF
Stephen A. Douglas by an Irish cham
bermaid in a Springfield hotel. In COM
mon with about everybody else, I was
pinching myself to find out whether
were asleep or awake I saw per-
sons whom 1 knew well leaving the
platform. The list of vice presidents
was decreasing very sensbly. The
murmurs were both loud and deep. The
amazement was unbounded that this
man should have made such an un-
heard-of assault on the virtue of his
own mother, especially as there had
been no reference to such recondite
family matters.
1 was at that time editing what was
recognized as the Democratic organ.
On my way to my office l was told
by scores of stanch Democrats that
they were going to vote for Leach's
opponent. In an hour or so, as ex-
pected, Leach came into my office.
Naturally of a florid complexion, his
face was blazing, which was to be ex-
pected. He leaned over to me and said:
Have ruined myself?"
WELL" I replied, ''you have certainly
done yourself no good"
Was All In
"Oh, see; you think I'm all in"
And he was, body, boots and breeches.
This vulgarian was actually vain of
being, as he claimed, by-blow of the
great apostle of squatter sovereignty,
whom he resembled in no respect what
ever. 1t was true that Douglas, whom
as a boy had met, was, like Leach,

MAKING AND DIssIPATING WEALTH

The amassing Of great wealth in the hands Of a few
is becoming to the country and legislation re-
lating to It will undoubtedly be enacted"
So said prominent mutmiionaire in this city last
Friday, in the course Of an interview with Herald
representative.
It has been said, as the result Of a rough estimate
that onehaf the property value in the United states
is owned by thousand individuals. The estimate
may be wide of the mark but It is enought to use
as basis for thought the line Of the statement
quoted above
1t is well known fact that the larger part Of the
wealth held by the lucky thousand accumulated
within the span of generation Assuming that the
present process Of wealth absorption continues in the
hands Of comparatively few individuals how long will
1t be ere the mionares all the property in the
United States? That is simply mathematical problem.
But there is basic factor in this general question OF
wealth absorption by the few which the multimil-
ionaire here quoted to have overlooked There
is sefacting safety value which regulates the pres
Of wealth accumulation. And when we come to
consider the operation of that safety value the
of wealth changes in form from that Of angry storm
cloud to gauzy film In the summer sky.
1t has been said that "In America IL takes two gen.
eratons to create great fortune but only one to dis
spate It." majority of the colossal fortunes Of the
present were built up by single generation. But
whether the great fortune is the product Of one
two generations is not important as the second
part of the propositionthe dssipating of It, Therein
sion of wealth.
The operation of that sefactlng safety valve is well
illustrated in the experience of the Vanderbilt family
When William H. Vanderbilt died. twenty years ago, he
left fortune valued at $2O0O0OOO0. Today there is
of the family who is worth onefourth that
sum- with the possible exception of William K. Wander
bt The great fortune of nearly twenty years ago is
being blown to the four winds"
The offspring of multimlionaires almost invariably
become mere spenders of accumulated wealth Lavish
extravaganza together with resultant habits of fashion
able dissipation, diminish the paterna legacy And
when to dividing what is left of the legacy
among another brood of children the original great for
tune shrinks to comparatively small proportions
Luxury ideness, dissipation are the preventves of
serious danger in America from the accumulation of
great fortunes California has furnished examples of
such fortunes that started with pick and shovel
The descendants of of these fortune builders
likely be back at the pick and shovel starting point
before the span of another generation has passed.
