Abuses of Receivershlps.

When the Republic Savings and Loan Association of New York went into receiVsrshIp, seven and a half yAars ago, the assets footed up $1,0Ss,OOO: They have now shrunk to $3O,0OO, and the stockholders will receive six cents on the dollar
 From the assets $275,O00 was real ized, and of this amount $193,000 went to pay expenses of administration under the receivers. The attorneys. greedy for fees. absorbed the bulk of the funds.
 This instance is a striking illustra- ton of the scandal of receiverships in New York Such costly administra- tion of a property is not unusual, but it is Indefensivle. No Justification of it Is possible. It outrages every pro- priety and offends every elementary principle of justice. Under due forms of law many a great estate nus been practically dissipated Dy the cost ot recefvershiu administration.
 One of the greatest reforms needed in New York is the enactment of legis- lation which will end the possible abuses of receiverships, and that will prevent the substantial wiping out of properties through excessive cost of admipistratinn.

Augustus Thomas.

Augustus Thomas, the we'll known American playwright, was born in St: Louis. January 8, 1859. and received his education in the public schools of that city. In his youth he. engaged in @ variety of occupations before he discovered that he conld write plays that would bring him fame and money. He was in turn page in the House of Representatives at Washington, clerk in railroad office, law stu dent and a newspaper reporter. Among the successful plays that he has writ. ten those that are best remembered zona," "On the Quiet" "Oliver Gold smith, 'The Other Girl" Mrs. Lefs fingwelPs Boots' and "The Earl of Pawtucket." During the past few years Mir. Thomas has sprung into some prominence as a politician and has taken a more or less active part in Democratic affairs in New York. He is a close personal friend of Will liam J. Bryan,Y< and presided at the great meeting held in Madison Square Garden in 1906, tc welcome MT. Bryan on his return from his trip around the world.

The poet sang:

sBe still, sad heart, and cease re-
 pining,
 Behind the clouds the sun Is shining. and that is certainly a highly con soIing reflection. We have had a pret- ty liberal allowance of gloomy days of late. but could take heart in the thought that the sun would come~out again fin due time, and that has been a great help. We suppose 1t would be possible for human beings to exist, at least for a time, if there were no sunshine, but we imagine 1t would be a dreary existence. The sun always comes to us again and is as bright as if no clouds had ever hidden 1t from us. In fact. the old sun always comes back.

IT IS NOT APPROVED.

Plainly The Columbia State does not take kindly to Mir. Cleveland's sugges- tion of pensions for our ex-Presidents. ''If there ever was time in the his- tory of this country" 1t comments when pensions for ex-Presidents are unnecessary. it is now. It was true that in the time of Jefferson 1t was possible that even SO distinguished 8 man might suffer for want of money. but that time is now passed. This is the day when notoriety-prominenc Is the better word-has a large cash val ue. Men are desired because of their prominence, because people know them, and corporations. from publishing houses to insurance companies, are willing to pay large salaries to men who command the public ear and fill the public eye.
 Tt may be true, as MT. Cleveland ican public has imposed restrictions upon the class of work in which an ex-President may engage; it is true that they insist that he maintain his dignity in private life. But even after these limitations have been imposed the field Is still large enough to suit the tastes or the capacities of any man likely to, have held the place of chief executive of the nation. He may write his autobiography, or he may write almost anything else from his experience, and he will find ready pub dozens of other occupations in the field of letters, publicity and even of busi- ness that may be held with honor and profit.
 "The experience of Thomas Jeffer- son will not find its parallel in these days even in the case of ex-Presidents much less gifted and distinguished. The time when men who have been raised to the Presidency may suffer for want of profitable occupation after retirement is assuredly passed. To speak commercially an ex-President's prominence is such an asset as not to be overlooked by an age celebrated for it's enterprise in taking due count of the monetary value of conspicuous personality"
 We think The States position is sound. MT. Cleveland. himself. does not want a pension. If we understand his position correctly, and would not accept one. Notwithstanding the fact that he is now well along in years, the way of this worlds goods, but is amply able to look out for himself. He is one of the last men we can imagine in the light of a pensioner of the government. He can, if 1t suits him, spend the remainder of his days in quiet and honored retirement with out engaging in business or looking to the government for money. Grover needs no a pension, this is plain.
 When 1t comes to Roosevelt the need of a pension is still less apparent. He lacks considerably of being a poor man as 1t is. and the various ways open to him to earn money. without impair ing the dignity of his position, assure him against anything approaching to poverty. If a pension should be granted him 1t would make no change in his mode of life. for no one can imagine Roosevelt remaining in retire. mept so long as he is able to use any of his mental or physical energies.

Governor Guild will not find his Massachusetts newspapers. today, crammed with plaudits or brimming with flattery. There seems to be a disposition toward plain speaking in many of them. The following is from The Springfield Union:
 Like President Roosevelt. Governor Guild believes in a strong central gov ernment but radiating from Boston rather than from Washington. If we understand properly the spirit of the message the Governor would gradual ly abolish local self government and run everything from Beacon Hill. Be- cause some cities have let politics creep into their police departments and Into the granting of liquor licenses, he would have the police of every city under State control. Likewise he would have a common charter for all
 These ideas of State socialism may be correct in theory. but we predict that 1t will be some time before Spring. field will permit its police department to be run from Boston. or its liquor licenses to be granted by & State board. or it's charter to be thrown over board for some new theory of munici- pal government evolved by a commits sion of distinguished ed theorists.

no canvassing among delegates" said
Chillingworth. In his address on the
platform, while denouncing Hustace

Republicans supporting Lucas. How
can he be accused of drawing a color
line in view of that statement, which
everyone heard?"
The matter of just what expressions
kuhio used is being a good deal dis
cussed. In the excitement of the mo-
ment, much of his speech in Hawaiian
was not interpreted to the convention
at all, and the delegates who under
stand Hawaiian differ a good deal.
