PROFITABLE REcEIvERsHIPs.

The three receivers who held the af-
fairs of the Knickerbocker Trust com
pany, Of New York, in their hands for
five months are still having trouble in
getting the $4,000 apiece that they
have demanded for their services. This
pay is at the rate of $1S0,0Oo apiece Per
annum They sent in bills, it Is re-
ported, for a good deal more; but the
ton modicum. Now lawyers are hight
ing against paying SO much.
It is contended that the question con-
Germs only the trust company, since
that has resumed payments to deposl-
tors and 50 is in the hands OF its
stockholders. But it happens, also,
that the depositors surrendered many
rights and cannot get their money all
out for months. and have had to trust
the solvency of the company for long
time ahead. Moreover, one potent
to leave their deposits was the threat
that otherwise receivers would eat the
concern I'D.
Viewed in such light, it seems diff
ficult for court to permit such
the company for such services. 1t
may be useless to ask If the whole
bunch would not have worked just as
hard if they had been promised $l,0O0
each per month as they did for $4,000
a month apiece. It brings scandal up

IMMUNITY FROM WAR.
The president thinks that the time
has not yet come when proud ma
ton, jealous of it's honor and con-
world, can be content to rely for
peace upon the forbearance of other
powers and he adds that "it would
be equally foolish to rely upon each OF
them possessing at all times and under
all circumstances and provocations an
altruistic regard for the rights of
Others" This nation has never relied
''for peace upon the forbesrsnce Of
other powers" and has never trusted
to their "altruistic' sentiments. Yet
we have had an almost uninterrupted
peace in our relations with the great
powers of the world. Since 1872 we
have fought no first class power. And
during much Of this time we have
been, from the Roosevelt point Of view.
almost wholly defenseless. As a mat
ter of fact, there is no nation in the
world that would make war on us un-
less practically driven to it. The other
powers have never feared our army
and navy, but they have feared our
wealth and resources. and have real
lied the impossibility of conquerine
this country. 1t is to our vast size and
strength, and our fortunate Isolation.
that We owe our Immunity from war.
We doubt whether the possession of a
fleet three or four times as large as
| that of Great Britain would give us
any additional guaranty OF peace.
| Those apprehensive statesmen who
! talk of the possibility of a German
army corps landing in New York. and
| doing a lot of awful things, never stop
to tell us how that army corps could
get out Of the country. Nor are they
much more definite in telling us how
