Washington, october H.-(Special) )-The visit next week of Secretary Taft to the sthmus of Panama is believed to be taken primarily with the object in view of thor oughly acquainting that official with the exact conditions on the isthmus in order that he may be able to give first hand answers to congressional resolutions of inquiry which will be passed this win ter. Questions of administrative policy, of financial management, of commercial utility and others are constantly under discussion, and there Is little doubt that the adminstrat tion Is getting itself for tified as fast as possible against attack. As the man in first responsibility, Seore- tary Taft will be in demand to inform congressional committees about actual conditions, to explain away misleading reports, to thresh out the wheat from the chaff of rumor and conjecture. and alle- gation and to give the members reliable information on all points.
 Chairman Shonts has but just returned from the sthmus. but the trip of the sec retary Is assumed to mean that the latter expects to deal directly with Con- gross. To this extent he will pass over the head of the chairman of the commis sion. There have been reports that Sec retary Taft was not altogether pleased Shonts. and likewise that the chairman

SOME GOOD OLD SONGS

Eay0<.

The old songs are best, for they carry
us back to the days that were radiant
with sentiment. when we were part cf
poetry and romance. They stir our ma
lures in their profoundest depths and.
reaching below the callous Of our putres-
cent hearts, play strange accomplishments
upon the long-disused strings Of our re-
membrance. Who can resist the subtle
potency of those old songs that stop the
world in tear-smiles that we may wave
a salutation back through a rift in the
storm of years to the youth and maiden

That the old songs are best has been
shown by the peyennial popularity OF
PATHS Home, Sweet Home" Emma ABB

sons Way Down Upon the Suwanee
River" and Melba's Coming Thro' the
Rye" We do not always associate these
immortal songs with the great singers
who have included them in their concerts.
but the singers are often remembered
because of the songs themselves. There
are few who can remember the many ac-
robatic arias of the splendid vocal artists
who have commanded almost fabulous
sums for their singing. but no one can
forget when they yielded to popular de-
mand for the old songs. Patti or Sem
brich or Melba or Calve never had more
sincere appreciation In the supremest
moments Of her triumphs than when she
descended for the time from the classics
OF foreign composers and sang the simple
love ballads that sent thrills through
world-weary hearts and caused withered
palms to stir in tremulous applause.
