An important feature OF the meeting
was the report of the chairman of the
board. c., W.. DeI1amatre, relative TO pro-
posed amendments to the articles of In
corporation to conform to the new state
law regarding the management of hospi-
tails. This new law. which was drawn
by Mr.. DeLamatre. does away with the
old provision which restricted the exis-
tence OF hospital corporations to thirty
years. The old law further provided that
the number OF trustees should not exceed
twenty. who should hold office for but one
year. requiring, new board to be elected
annually. The new law provides that
the board shali consist OF not fewer than
three members and as many more as may
be necessary, to be elected for one, two
and three years. That provision OF the
law which directs that hospitals may not
hold any property except their plant for
but ten years. is amended to make the
limit twenty-five years The old restrie-
ton limiting the amount of Incorporated
liability TO 100000 Is also removed by the
new measure.

LIQUOR DEALERS RIGHTS,

Judge Artman, of Indianapolis, who
recently decided that civic powers
had no power to grant a license to
liquor dealers, has another case under
consideration which is causing much
nervousness in the saloonkeepers'
camp. We believe it has been decided
in that state that a salOOnkeeper has
no right to vote on liquor license
when he is a member of the city coun-
Gil, and this coming case is to decide
whether the saloonkeeper has any
right in the council at all or not. If
so decided, it will make cities a lot
of trouble, for acts and ordinances
passed by councils who have a saloon
membership will be illegal In the
former case the decision made the
cities responsible for damages caused
by liquor selling. We believe that in
the city Of Indianapolis there were
100000 in such cases where barns
were burned by men under the in
f1uence of liquor, and for personal in
juries resulting from liquor drinking,
and a long list of those classes of
cases.

"PARTY SPIRIT"
New York Times.)

Two horrible scandals, published on
the same day, warn us almost equally
against being too much "at ease in
Zion." One is state scandal, one a
municipal scandal. 1t is shown that
the state of Pennsylvania has been so
looted that if it had been a poor com
munity it would have been impoverish-
ed by the depredations committed up
on it in the furnishings of it's state
capitol. 1t is shown that the munic-
ipality Of San Francisco has been de-
spoiled by the majority of its official
custodians. In the city and in the
state the causes of the corruption are
essentially the same. For generation
the Republican party has almost con
tinuously ruled Pennsylvania, with
hardly chance that any outrage it
might commit would in any extremity
be avenged through popular indigna-
tion by it's own displacement. The ex-
ceptions do no more than prove the
rule. 1t is not the Republican party
which has been the fetch under which
San Francisco has been ruled and rob-
bed and ruined

RYAN'S CONGO PEANUTS.

Thomas F. Ryan, the new "boss
of Wall street." has entered upon a
new field of enterprise and probable
profit. Some time ago Mr.. Ryan ac-
quired possession of 10000 acres of
land in Congo Exactly what he in
tended to do with the tremendous tract
in that remote land even the shrewd-
est of his friends could not guess. 1t
was known that the properties of the
soil were not such as to prove favora-
bic for any of the ordinary crops of
the world But Mr.. Ryan is long
headed. Moreover, he is a southern
er. He knows several things about the
profitableness of certain crops raised
in the south-among these, peanuts,
He learned that the Congo land is just
the place for raising the biggest, most
palatable and most desirable peanuts
in the world. So he intends to devote
the greater part of the 10000 acres to
raising the favorite, popular Jumbo"
variety of nuts.

RAILROADS IN 1907.

According to the Railway Age there
is nearly as large a mileage Of new
railroads projected for 1907 as was
the case last year at this time, but the
probability is that the present uncer-
tainty as to federal and state inter
ference in the affairs of the railways
will hold in allegiance very consider
able portion of these extensions and
improvements.
In March of 1906 1900 miles of new
road were under contract, and about
half Of this was completed before the
end of the year. At present the mile
age under contract is 1872 and of
this about $500 miles are what the
Railway Age calls live projects and
explains as those (which probably
would be undertaken during the pres
ent year were the conditions more

TREATIES NOT SUPREME.
(The IndiananOliS News


In his eagerness to magnify the
treaty-making power of the nation, Sen
ator Beveridge gives to treaties a SUI
premacy which they do not have. He
says that the constitution provides
that "all treaties made, or which shall
be made, under the authority of the
United States, shall be the supreme
law of the land" etc. Which is true.
But there are other things which are
the supreme law Of the land, too, so
that treaties have no special pre-emi-
nence. The constitution provides that
this constitution and the laws of the
United States which shall be made
in pursuance thereof, and all treaties
made" etc., shall be the supreme law
of the land" The purpose was not to
give one form of law pre-eminence
over the others, but to make all fed
eral laws legally enacted paramount
throughout the country. The cOnstitu-
tiOn, and the laws enacted under it,
are quite as supreme as treaties are.

CALLED FORAKER'S BLUFF.

Mr.. Charles p Taft, of Cincinnati,
brother of the secretary, accepts the
gage Senator Foraker threw down
when he demanded that the issue be-
tween him and the president be left
to the people. If we are not mistaken
Senator Foraker has put his foot in
it. When he goes butting the Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt before the Repub-
lican voters of Ohio his finish will
come speedily. In the meantime the
echoes from the fray are going to be
positively entertaining.

A REAL LIVE 'RISTOCRAT,
(Manning Times.)

Senator Tillman is no longer one Of
the common people. He has commenc-
ed to boast of his pedigree. Nobody
ever did look upon him as a "gray-
neck." not even when he wore a sun
burnt alpaca coat and used the sleeves
as handkerchief. He was not even
regarded a clod-hopper when he wore
brogans creased with talloW. True,
his public speeches were to arouse the
common people, one of whom he
claimed to be, against the Bourbons
or aristocrats, and everybody else that
failed to appreciate Tillman's methods.
The glamOr of the footlights and the
comfortable feeling of fat purses has
made a great difference; who would
not realize the difference between ped
ding eggs in Augusta at the market
price per dozen, and being the star
attraction at talking function at
5000 per night?

AN IMPROVEMENT.
(The Boston Herald.)

They go at the thing in very sim
pie fashion in Texas. There is a two
cent-a-mile bill before the legislature
there and the railroads meet it with
an offer to spend $15,OOO,OOO in ex-
tensions and improvements within the
next fourteen months if the bill is de-
feated. If the bill passes the projects
will be indefinitely postponed
There is sense in this way of meet
ing Objectionable legislation. 1t is
open, fair and above board. A great
improvement on the other way of
maintaining an expensive lobby of
shyster lawyers to work secretly and
underhandedly against any and every
measure the railroads regard as harm
full. Why not copy Texas up north?

The call of the country grows loud

above the hum and roar of the machin-
cry of trade and industry in the cities
so clearly that there will be an equal
izing of the conditions Of employment.
There will be better supply of work
ers on the farms and less pressure for
places to earn a living as clerks in

of America grow steadily more attrac-
tive, always more favorable for full
