REGULATION OF INSURANCE
President Decides thai Be Has No Power
to Order an Investigation.
OPINIONS OF LAW OFFICIALS
Statement that Congress Has No
Constitutional Power to
Order In
Quiry.

WASHINGTON May 26-President Roose-
welt. as heretofore noted, has been urged
to take steps looking to a government in
quiry into the operations Of life insurance
companies, and especially the Equitable
Life Assurance society of New York, con-
corning which embarrassing complications
have developed during the last few months.
After careful consideration of the subject
and inquiry into the legal phases of such a
suggested investigation. the president has
determined that in the entire circumstances
the government has no authority to take up
the matter, either through a special COM
mission or through a bureau of corpora
tlons
II is doubtful indeed, in the judgment of
the law officers of the government. whether
congress itself, constitutionally, could en-
power government officials TO make such an
inquiry.

Waterways on Canadian border.

Pending the answer of the Washington
government to the Canadian governments
contention that the law establishing the
international waterway commission pro-
vided that all international waterways be-
tween this country and Canada be included
in the scope of the commission, no further
meetings would be held. The next meeting
will be held at Toronto, after the decision
of Secretary Taft regarding the law. In
addition to the st. John river question.
there are also questions about the Milk
river, Rainey river and other small streams
between the two countries, and 1t was
pointed out by the Canadians that as the
country in that section was developed new
controversies would be sure to arise which
it would be necessary to refer to some

CHINA A POULTRY COUNTRY
Farmers of the Orient Handle Enor-
nous consignments Of Eggs
at One Time.

The keenest of poultry farmers is. as
Mr. Chamberlain once said Of himself
in another connection. "a child in these
matters" as compared with the poul-
try farmers Of China. A traveller pass
ing through the province of Chekiang
a few weeks ago was struck with the
enormous number of young chickens
carried in the farmers carts he met in
the T'int'al country. He made inquiries
on the subject, and at length he was
asked by a poultry farmer to go and
inspect his rearing arrangements. The
plant deals with 10000 eggs at time
and the average product is 5000 chicks.
The arrangements are simple and in
expensive. but they include opportuni-
ties for the scientific examination OF
the eggs in the course Of incubation,
and it is amusing to hear that where
the eggs on examination through the
testing holes do not show signs Of fer
tilization at the end of the fourth day,
they are Immediately discarded to be
sold cheap"

Polly, bless her dear heart, is getting
ready to be married. It will be the
first wedding in the family, and the
family current sets strongly and swift
" toward the happy event Naturally
Polly, her mother and her sisters are
much occupied over the trousseau.
Spare no expense" says the father,
whose pride in this dear girl knows
no bounds.
Notwithstanding this liberal carte
blanche on his part, the mother is
aware that too lavish outlay now will
mean q reckoning day hereafter, with
most undesirable pinching and skimp-
ing. Still, the family il a unit, as to
the necessity that Polly shall have a
creditable outfit, and her brothers and
sisters are not reluctant to practice
economy that she may have every
thing she needs.
What does an intending bride really
need? This is a closer inquiry than
II would be were it differently worded.
We are not considering what an in
tending bride may wish. There is q
wide distance between need and want
Pory. If she is as we suppose a sensi-
bic American girl, with a wise head on
her shoulders, means to conform to
her circumstances with perfect con-
tentment She is going to marry a
young fellow whose home is in a small
inland town, whose business prospects
are good. and whose habits are steady.
As yet, he is only living on a salary
which warrants him in setting up a
simple home. but which leaves no mar
gin for display. Looking forward with
brave hearts to their blended future,
John and Polly are dwelling in one Of
those charming dreams that come true
for self-respecting young people like
themselves.
Put the emphasis on the adjective.
The younger they are, the more years
they will have to be happy together.
the more courage and enthusiasm they
will have, the more spontaneity of en-
joyment. The rose-colored days are
before them in which to climb the
hill together.
