Plea for Honest Papers

One Of the most effective methods of
accomplishing the results advocated in
the application blank, Mrs. DF.-Minora
Kibbe pointed out, was the support of
the daily papers which have stood un-

those which had minimized the crimes
OF the grsfters and poisoned the foun-
tains of truth.
The meeting was called TO order by
Mrs. Elizabeth Gerberding. president of
the league. Amonf he persons on the

Rogers, gen eral counsel of the Isthmian Canal com mission, bearing further upon the charges that Americans were interested in the Panama canal property at the time of it's purchase.
 The memorandum states that at the time the property was transferred to the United States it included so-called archives and they are now in pos session of this government. Examina- tion of these archives by Messrs. Charl- ton and Rogers show, however, that neither at the time of the first examina- tion or now were there any lists of stockholders in the old or nv Panama Canal company except those contained in the formal minutes.

BE SURE TO GIVE SOME USELESS
 PRESENT

Generally speaking, Christmas pre- sents may be divided into two classes useful" and useless" :"
 Each is good and each has it's place. It depends entirely on who is to get the present.
 Generally speaking, useful presents should be given to people who do not need them. That is, the man who can afford to buy the best in plenty should be given socks and gloves and such things. The woman who is but little limited in the qualification of her shop ping instincts should get as present the new coat and the furniture. But grown-ups don't make much diff ference one way or the other at Christ mas time; the day is the day of the children,
 The child who can have new toy almost any day in the year is the one upon whom toys are waste at Christ mas. To such let there be given the new shoes, the jackets, overcoats and similar needful things.
 But let the useless things be given to those who have but little more than necessaries all the year around. Let the man with the shiney coat receive a bit of jewelry or new pipe; let the work-a-day woman be given some trihe of feminine luxury, some little useless extravaganza that could not possibly be indulged in any day of the year ex- cept December 25.
 Most of all, let the child of poverty be spared present" of something that it actually needs and must have.
 What ghastly perversion of the spirit of Christmas it is to let the child shiver half through the winter so that it may have "present" at Christmas time of new coat!
 Let the useful things be bought on some other day, but for Christmas itself let the pennies go for something which has but one use and that IS to delight. Let the very uselessness of the gift, in such cases, measure the love, the saci- flee and the giving spirit of the hon- day.
 In the Christmas spirit we recognize that we are all children of the same father and so are all brothers and sis ters--and shall we give the little broth CT of the poor pair of shoes and the little brother of the House of Have coaster and his sitter big dolly7
 No; however small the gift, let's have it real Christmas gift--not bit of charity sneaked in on December 25 in order to save money and salve our souls with a double credit.

Burton Not To

NEW TORY, December l7.--It was authoritatively stated tonight that the offer of cabinet position to Congress- man Theodore Burton has been with drawn by Taft and will not be renewed.
 Burton has been mentioned as the possible secretary of the treasury and it is said the portfolio had been def. ritely offered him.
 The statement follows conference by Taft with several of the republican leaders in Ohio. Burton, it is believed, will now make an active contest in the Ohio senatorial campaign.

"REBUKING" THE PRESIDENT.

We agree with Representative Perkin that certain expressions used by MT. Roosevelt in that part of his message relating to the secret service were "un- fortunate; so also was the legislation therein criticised in language that has rufhed the dignity of the national leg islature. The president could have been more diplomatic in conveying his opin- ion of the congressional limitation placed on the employment of the secret service, but that is not his way, and tho result is very pretty quarrel between congress and the executive, in which the necessities of the public business may receive scant consideration.
 It is serious thing for congress to enter upon an attempt to censure the executive, particularly in these days of almost universal popular distrust of legislative bodies. When it was done in Andrew Jackson's time, the presi- dent finally won, though it took sew eral years to make the conquest, and in the end the resolution of censure was expunged from the records That a trial of this sort should be in contem- plation agains president of so great apparent popularity attests the depth of feeling which has been aroused among members of congress. Yet they are, but a curious freak of fortune, turning upon a man who has saved many of them from defeat, to whom alone is due, in all probability, the ex- istence of a republican majority in the house of representatives. They propose to rebuke the president who a few years ago took the part of congress against the mucNakers and who in more than one election has given the national legislature certificate of character that was worth votes to many distressed member.
 The name of Roosevelt has been one to conjure with in scores of close dis tricts; evidently it is so no longer We must assume that those who are willing to spread some sort of rebuke or cen sure of the president on the records of the house and senate feel that they will be able to justify their votes be- fore their constituencies; for after March MT. Roosevelt will be merely an eminent private citizen.
 We doubt if the president intended to asperse the character of the average senator or representative, or to insinu- ate that there were any members of the present congress who will bear watching by details from the secret ser vice. The legislation he finds fault with has seriously crippled the ability of the government to detect and punish fiduciary crime; it has even prevented the secretary of the treasury, as to se- cret service men, from exercising the ordinary right of every head of de- partment to control his own employees. On these points MT. Cortelyou's opin- ion is the same as that of the president. In his righteous indignation over leg islation that he felt to be advantage ous only to criminals, the president dealt in implications that might better have been omitted as a matter of com ity in addressing congress. It may be questioned whether these implications are as serious as some members seem | disposed to think, or that any action | by congress refecting on the president ! will really vindicate the dignity of either branch of the national legisla- ture.
