THE PANAMA QUESTION.

The News believes the President
of the United States would have done
better to ignore entirely the attacks
Of the New York World and the In
dianapolis News in the Panama mat
ter. Especially is this so, after the
publication of Roosevelts letter to
David Dudley Foulke.
The letter and the message both
explain clearly and plainly the trans
action so far as this government is
concerned. The price paid for the
entire plant was $40,000,000; this
amount was not fixed by the French
company, but by the commission APP
pointed by the Federal government.
This Panama Commission at the head
Of which was Admiral Walker thor
oughly investigated everything on the
isthmus and found that the work
which had been done by the French
and the machinery and other things
we're fully worth that amount.
The government paid the money to
the French government and it has
been distributed under the authority
Of a French court to the various
stockholders of the two French COM
panies.
William Nelson Cromwell and his
associates in America tried to form
. New Jersey corporation to finance
the proposition before the purchase
but the record shows that the at
tempt came to naught.
Cromwell undoubtedly got a fee
for his services to the French canal
company. Whether any other Amer
scans participated in the proceeds of
the sale seems to us entirely foreign
70 the question.
No one charges, not even the New
York World insinuates, that Roose-
Eelt or Knox or Root and any of
fhe officers of this government par
ficipated in any way in any shady
transaction. Why therefore this dis
graceful and scurrilous attacks on
the President.
The throwing Of stones on either
side proves nothing. All the Ameri-
can people care TO know is, was the
canal property worth the money paid
was the transaction clean and hon
Orable. Both these questions have
long since been answered in the af-
frmative.

THE NEWSPAPER.

President Roosevelt the other day
In one of his messages to the Con-
gress preached a short sermon upon
newspapers which we reproduce:
"There is no higher and more hon
Orable calling than that of the men
connected with an upright, fearless
and truthful newspaper; no calling in
which man can render greater SER
vice to his fellow countrymen. The
best and ablest editors and writers
In the daily press render service
to the community which can hardly
be paralleled by the service rendered
by the best and ablest men in public
life or the men in business. But the
converse of this proposition is also
true"

New York, Dec. lit was author
itatively announced that the offer of
cabinet position to Congressman
Theodore Burton had been with
drawn by Mr.. Taft and would not be
renewed.
Mr.. Burton had been mentioned as
the probable secretary of the treas
ury in Mr.. Taft's cabinet, and it is
said that the portfolio had been def
nitely offered to him.
The statement followed the confer
ence of Mr. Taft with several Re.
publican leaders from Ohio. Mr.. Bur
ton, it is believed, will now make an
active contest in the Ohio senatorial
campaign. Those who were at the
conference were Arthur 1. Vorys

Charles p Taft of Cincinnati was
also present, and when asked as
to what bearing, if any, the confer.
ence may have upon his candidacy
for the senate to succeed Senator Jo
seph B. Foraker, he replied: 81 am
going to win. Everything is favor
able"
The president-elect's brother was
apparently more than satisfied with
the developments, and fairly dubbed
! over with good humor. AS to the
leaders who attended the conference
the senatorial candidate said: "They
came on for the dinner of the Ohio
society and to talk over political mat
tiers at home. They were here to see
brother Will, and after a long talk
with him they all went away in good
shape"

MT. Crow as a Pet is Interesting
 But Untrustworthy.

If caught young, before it has learned to fly. the crow makes an excellent pet. It will be very devoted to its owner aud will learn to initiate many sounds heard around the house. and in some cases has been known to speak several words. It will follow it's master or mistress and become very much attached to him or her.
 The crow Is also as good as a watch dog to have about a place, as no stranger can enter without it's giving the alarm. It will sometimes leave for two or three days-perhaps a month-but generally re turns looking very sorrowful.
 The one thing against the crows record as a pet is that it is thief, having a fondness for any bright or shiny article it can find, which 1t will hide in hooks and crannies and all out of the way places.
 The best way to catch crows for pets is to locate a crow tree in which a nest has been built. and. in the middle of May, when the young ones are able to cav a little and are very noisy. take one, with the aid of a ladder, and tame it. Old crows are captured with nets and bird lime, tame crows being used as decoys to bring the others into the trap.
 Crows will let a man approach very close to them, but should he carry q gun he is instantly seen by the sentry who guards the 6ock while t eats.
 Constant war is waged between the crows and owls: in daytime the crows always being victors, but many are killed at night by the stronger and more war ] like birds.
 The fish crow is smaller than the com mon crow. being about sixteen inches long. and is found along the sea coast from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes. Its cav is much shriIier and rasping than that of the common crow.
 Many fish crows build their nests close together. and are often found in cedars and evergreens. The feathers of shis variety are more of a steel blue black and its eggs are a triae smaller.
 It eats many dead Ssh found along the shore and in general habits is very similar to the common crow.
 To most people all eavs of crozs sound alike. but the various tones have distinct meanings which are perfectly understood hy the birds.

I Flying Cloud lay down to sleep that night among the waving plumes beside the stream. He did not understand what 1t all meant and he was much puzzled to know why the stranger had asked him to return to the place. When he had fallen asleep the Red Feather came and stood before him in his dreams, dressed as he had been when they first met.
 "'You overcame me- he said, but you see that l now live again in new form If you had not defeated me you would never have returned to your village, but now you have the reward of your victory. Pluck the ears from the stalks, dry them and the grains will furnish food for you and all the Indian nations in time to come only be certain to save enough each year of the grains to serve for planting, and thus I shall never perish and you need no longer feel sad at what you thought was my death "With this dream the trouble which had
 rested in the mind of Flying Cloud van ished He followed the instructions which | had been given him. He won great honor among the nations, and ever since that day the Red Feather has been the friend of men,"
 | This was the story told by old Lone
 Eagle. sitting at the door of his lodge of birch bark on the edge of the forest to the
 Mohawk boy Lightfoot many years ago.
 And the same story is still told by the l old men among the Indians when you ask them where the corn came from.

way until the other had been thrown. I So they continued their struggle until the middle of the day. Then, when the sun stood in the sky above their heads, the Red Feather fell and Flying Cloud stood over him in triumph.
 l "'You have won the victory the Red Feather said in faint voice. Listen carefully to what I say to you. Dig ill the earth in the middle of the meadow beside the stream and bury me there. When four moons have passed come and visit me. Do this and you will be for tunate.'
 When he had said this the stranger closed his eyes and ceased to breathe. Flying Cloud thought that he had killed him and he was sad, but he did what the stranger had asked. After he had buried him in the middle of the meadow he had no heart to continue his search. He jour- neyed back to his own village and remained there with heavy heart for the space of | four moons.
 He then returned to the meadow. He found it filled with waving green plumes which were beginning to wither He ex- amined the stalks from which they sprung and saw that attached to each was some- thing that reminded him of the stranger with whom he had wrestled. These ob- jects were the yellow ears of corn covered with their green husks like the green dress of the wrestler, and each with red tassel at the top, like the red feather he had worn.
