Il the Issue.

The Town Council of Fairmoint. which
is soon to be annexed to Richmond, has
issued and sold $4,000 worth of bonds.
The matter leaked out yesterday.
though, according to those seen there
WAS no attempt to conceal 1t from the
public, and the fact that 1t was not gcn-
orally known was because no one took
the trouble to inquire. 5s8.
Hon. Thomas w. Gardner. attorney for
tho town OF Paramount. said he had con-
suited City Attorney II. r. Pollard with
reference to tho bond issue. He said,
lie did this through courtesy TO the city
attorney, in view of the proposed annexa-
ton proceedings. Mr. Gardner said fur
Their that reports that there had been
any attempt to conceal from tho public
the fact Of tho issuance OF the bonds
wore misleading ind incorrect Asa
matter OF fact. he stated that the resi-
dents of Fnirmount were acquainted
with the proposition before 1t was acted
upon by the Town Council. and there
was only ono dissenting voice Ii, tile
Council when tho bond issue was voted
upon.
Tho town of Fairnount could not cx-S
list for the next twelve months without
n bond issue. and for this reason tho
$4,000 worth of bonds were sold.{ IT
was a transaction valid In every way.
and one which the people OF Fairmounts
were thoroughly familiar with, said MI

Taft's Duty.

Secretary TAFT went to New forR
yesterday. to return 10 Washington on
Friday; Tho name of Mr.. Justice
Browns SUCCESSOR oil the supreme bench
Ills to be announced on the afternoon Of
Mr. Tafts return. Tho Washington Star,
from which we have CLEANED these two
fncts, indicates a close connection be-
tween item, 1t believes that the sccre-
tary's visit to New York is for the pur-
nose OF consulting his brother In regard
TO tho proffered iudgeship, and that upon
1t hinges the question whether or not
the name TO be given out Tomorrow Is
to DO that OF William II. Taft.N
That President Roosevelt has left Mr..
Taft free to decide this vital matter
for himself seems to be plain. That the
secretary now has 1t under the closest
sort OF advisement there can be no
shadow OF doubt. He stands at this
Imoment, In truth, at the parting OF the
ways. undecided whether to accept re-
tiremcnt to an honorable and dignificd
| tranquility, or to 20 OIL in his present
more active career to possible creator
heights.
II this were n question which the
voters in tho country had to decide In
stead o. Secretary Taft. we feel quite
sure that they would keep him where
he IT, Mr.. Taft is an able and capable
Official. and has Inspired general con-
ndc,re. 1t would be difncult to replace
him in the Cabinct-mucll more difficult,
we Should say. than to I'LL the vacancy
on tho supreme bench. The secretary
would no doubt fill that vacancy adj
| mirably but In n sense he would be
wasted there. Another man would prob-
ably answer just as well. and Mr. Taft
has a stock OF experience and special
qualifications, from which. on the bench,
the country would derive no benflt.
4 There is. Of course. another point. The
secretary is In the position of having
put his hand to the pow, and 1t is diff
cult to SEQ how he Gun turn back now.
4 He directs tho administrations Philip
4 pines policy. and his Is the tnsk OF
4 digging tho Panama Canal. Both of these
are Immensely responsible tasks. ant
I both arc in n vastly unsettled condition
10 turn them over at this juncturo to
new and relatively inexperienced hands
cannot conceivnbly be in tho best In
4 tercsts OF tho country.
When Mr.. Wallace resigned his posi-
ton as chief engineer Of the canal, be-
cause, as 1t was said ho could get a
better job somewhere else. Secretary
ETaft personally administered to him a
rebnke OF the stcrnest and most sting
| Ing sort. 1T may be argued. OF course
that Mr.. Tait's prospective better job
4 is now offered by tho President himself
That. however, is Of trivial consequence
Tho standard which the secretary applied
TO tho unhappy Wallace. and which Ii,
would now naturally wish to apply Il
himself. is simply that OF the country
good. BY TINT standard We believe I
Ito be plain that Mr.. Taft Should sta.
where no Is. II personal ambition nlon
should lead him to throw over his re
sporisibilties in Panama. It is hard I
sec wherein his dcrollctlon would dlffe
greatly from that OF Mr. Wallace.

Of course, it was said, the Kaiser would
see to it that some friendly ruler con-
ferred a title upon Miss Roosevelt.
So what more natural than for Mrs.
Longworth to enjoy her visit with the
Kaiser, even more than her meeting with
King Edward at Ambassador Reds,
where she made His Majesty laugh
heartily over recital of her attempts to
outwit pursuing kodak fends?
Before the Longworths left England
for the Continent and after their return
there from the Kiel regatta, they were
entertained at number of fashionable
English country houses, and in and out
of London there were small dinners and
some dances in their honor American
women who have married into British
nobility and high society were among the
hostesses. Every moment that they were
in old England, the Longworths were be-
ing entertained, and the list of Lords
