Virtues of Puritan Lauded in
Series of Bright and
Original ToaStS,

The Spirit of Liberty chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
celebrated the birthday of George
Washington yesterday with their third
annual breakfast. The event was given
(at the Knutsford hotel. The tri-color
of the nation of today mingled with the
eyellow and blue of the continentals,
and the whole affair, save the viands
of the elaborate menu, savored of CO.
lonial days. The tables. arranged N
the form of a great L, were laid in the
large dining room. and the walls were
draped with the national flags and
bunting. The floral decorations were
the bright yellow daffodils, while with
them were combined the blue in the
place cards containing the toasts. Over
sixty, including the members and their
guests. were seated at the table. At
the close of the menu Mrs. Seth w.
Morrison. the chapter regent, arose
and in a few words welcomed the
members and their guests. She read a
telegram from Mrs Mary NJ. f. Allen.
the state regent, extending greetings
to the chapter and she spoke appre-
ciatively of the growth of the chapter
in the past ten years, since its found
ing.
Mrs. Morrison introduced Mrs C. z.
Allen, a charter member. as toastmiS-
tress, and throughout the program,
with her ready introductions and apt
interpretations, Mrs. Allen showed her
ability in that sphere. She spoke in
the beginning of the beautiful poem,
"Our Emblem" written by Mrs Thorn
as Weir for last years luncheon, and
published at that time. which Mrs.
Allen said had been taken by many of
the chapters and embodied in their ar
fchives as appropriate to ALL She
spoke with pride of the contest in
patriotic Orations recently held at the
Highs school and commended most
highly all of the speakers whose pa
triotism has been encouraged by the
chapter. In taking up the Puritan,
with whose characteristics the program
of toasts dealt, she said she would
paraphrase the lines
BE TO his virtues very kind,
And to his faults a little blind"
She introduced Mrs. Lunette B.
Ste phens, who spoke on 1.-THE Puritan's
Physiognomy." Mrs. Stephens spoke
of the rigid habits of life and thought
which governed the lives of the Puri-
tans and told how these traits came to
be a part of even his features and car
riage. Her toast was illustrated with
the lines
His brow was sad: his eye beneath
Flashed like a falchion from his
sheath"

CORPORATE SUPERVISION.

Suggestions have been made repeated
ly in the various messages of President
Roosevelt for the regulation through
supervision by the federal government
of all corporations doing an interstate
business. In his last regular message
he argued strongly that regulations of
this sort were not usurpation of
state authority by the national govern
ment and that corporations with ex-
tensive business ramificatfons could
only be handled with efficacy by the
federal government.
most important measure along
these lines has been introduced in the
senate recently by Senator Charles
Curtis of this state. Whether this bill
meets with the approval Of President
Roosevelt and the administration is not
known but it is certainly stringent
enough in its many provisions to de-
rAand the approval of the most radical
ly inclined on this proposition. Briefly,
it proposes that every corporation, COM
pany, or association organized in one
state shall not be permitted to do bust
ness in any other portion of the Uni
ted States until it has taken out a fed
eraI charter which will place its af-
fairs under the direct supervision of
All corporations, companies, or as
sociations which do a particle of inter-
state business are required under it's
terms to file applications for a permit
to do business with the secretary of
commerce and labor WHO shall pass
upon it's eligibility to engage in bust
ness and thereupon issue or deny it
permit to do so.
Applications for these permits must
be accompanied with the articles Of
agreement of the corporation or COM
pany, a full statement of the business
intended to be carried on and the OBJ
jects of the organization. Companies
organizing under the act and offering
shares of stock for sale must give full
particulars as to the amount of stock
sold, the price received. the amount in
tended to be sold. the price asked, the
cost of the organization. the buildings
owned or intended to be erected the
improvements to be made and all 9TH
er matters connected with its business.
If any statements of this sort contain
false representations the promoters or
agents shall be liable to a minimum
fine of 500 and a Jail sentence of 30
days for each offense. They shall also
be liable to subscribers of stock for
damages and loss sustained by them
through false representation. If the
full amount to the stock required by
the company to do business is not sold
and the purchase price Maid in 60 days,
then all moneys received from pur-
chase of stock shall be returned. Lists
of the stockholders are to be filed
with the secretary of commerce and
labor as well as a list of the officers
and all persons employed by the COM

THE PANAMA FUSS.

''Who got the money! This has
been a pertinent question for some
time with certain newspapers con-
corning the $4O,OOO,O0O which the
United States paid for the effects of
the Panama canal company and it's
possessions on the Isthmus of Pana-
ma. The allegations have been made
that considerable portion of this
fund filtered back to prominent Amer
leans who were admitted to the inside
of the deal. The matter has been re-
sponsibIe for few fiery letters to in
dividuaIs and messages to congress
from the president of the nation and
from the last one he has seen fit to
send in it is quite evident that the
question "Who got the money!" is a
trifie more impertinent than anything
else.
That some of this money found its
way back to America through banks
which held Panama securities is
fact but this sum in it's aggregate is so
small that it is hardly worth bother
ing about. Anyhow, there can be no
scandal attached to its receipt by
these banks, nor does there appear to
be slightest chance that there is any
kind OF a scandal mixed up in the
whole transaction. Certain it is that
no American gentlemen as individuals,
as has been alleged, profited greatly,
or even to a small extent by the deal
unless it is William Nelson Cromwell,
the attorney who attended to all the
negotiations for it. He received a fee
of $780, 600 for his work but this was
passed upon as being a fair one by
the French courts. AS a friend of the
words of Mr.. Roosevelt, the entire
transaction was "as clean as a hounds
tooth.
A resolution is pending in congress
for the appointment of a special com
mittee to investigate this Panama
scandal and the introducer of it in
sists that he is going to press its con-
sideration regardless of the last mes
sage from Mr.. Roosevelt on the sub
ject which shows exactly where the
folly to go ahead with such an in
vestigation when it is apparent that
none is needed. There can be only one
point now. There is but one question
that might be disturbing. Did the
United States pay more for the canal
rights and properties than they were
worth If so, it was cheated, of course.
But an investigation which might de-
Velop this fact would be of little value.
The bargain has been made and set
tied for some time and any determin-
alton that the government had been
buncoed would avail nothing except to
make the people feel a triffe sore that
the government officials who looked
after the transaction were of the "easy
mark" variety. But there really does
not appear to be any evidence that the
United States made a bad bargain in
this deal. The mere privilege of build
ing the canal on the territory travers-
ed by it ought to be worth $40, 1000, 900.

Every year the Qea0-leLLer OInCe III
Washington holds a sale of articles

bear no clue to the sender. This year
the number of packages to be disposed
of thus to the highest bidder IS 1884.
Allowing a wide margin for those that
might have been originally addressed
correctly, but which failed to reach the
addressee before he had moved to some
other address, let US say that 5000 per-
sons misdirected packages during the
last year. And please remember that
this does not include the nlisdirected
parcels which bear a return card and
which go back to the sender. Isn't
that a monument, and a pretty big one,
to our carelessness?
The postoffice department is a good

bear many burdens that do not belong

responsible. 1t takes the brunt of thou

Will William H. Taft be the twenty

every time a new president has been

Was he the twenty-fourth president on
his second election, after an interval
Of one term? If so, then Mr.. Taft will
be the twenty-seventh president; if
not, then he will be the twenty-sixth.
