AFRAIp or ME MEpICINE.

The esteemed Lexington Herald,
to any program for national central
ization, takes issue with Attorney
General Wickersham's idea Of federal
Incorporation of companies engaged
in Interstate commerce. The Herald
admits the existence of conditions as
Mr.. Wickersham sees them; but can
offer no remedy excepting the futile
proposal for uniform state laws
on the subject Of corporation control.
We have been in exactly the same
position the Herald is now occupying.
and the difference in our views Is
only matter of progress. We could
point out every step the editor of
the Herald will take from his attitude
of congenital suspicion of the states
to one of rational natlonalism. We
have been trying to treat general
disorders with local palliatives; sim
ply because the men, who organized
our government represented jealous
and suspicious commonwealths.
The Herald would. indeed, II seems.
resort to the principles of Christian
Science to rid the country of the evils
of the holding company; ie., denying
its legal existence and Affirming a
state of perfection.
Regarding this feature of Mr..
Wickersham's Paducah speech the
Herald says:
"Mr. Wickersham is credited with
having had a hand in drawing the
corporation tax amendment to the
pending revenue bill and the text of
this proposed legislation before
amendment In the senate contained
a recognition of the holding company
and In the opinion of good lawyers
legalized the very form of the cor
poration which Mr.. Wickersham. in
his Paducah speech, characterized as
the one thing which has made posi-
BILE the growth of the great trusts and
Monopolies. The somewhat imperfect
synopsis of the Paducah address given
to the press is strikingly inconsistent
with this phase of the proposed COR
poration tax law, as originally pre-
scented to the senate, for the phrase
ology of which the attorney-general
is reputed TO be chiefly responsible"
Now Mr.. Wickersham. who Is In
this respect materialist, necessarily
admitted that there are holding COM
psnies. and so far as any existing
law is concerned, they are legitimate
corporations. According to his the
DRY the first step toward the riddance
of the evil. is to recognize its exist
ence and the source of its power.
We see nothing in the federal gov
eminent exercising powers II already
possesses in a new way to meet new
conditions. that should disturb the
mind Of any citizen, who has faith in
a Democratic form of government.

The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times says:
Low water has tied up the packets
and towboats plying the lower rivers
and the only signs of activity in the
river traffic is evidenced by the pool
boats and the smaller packets on the
Monongahela. The inactivity of the
big boats has given the canoeists and
the motorboatists greater liberty, az
the danger of being swamped is re-
moved. That condition OF affairs
finds favor with the owners Of these
smaller boats was shown recently

Judicial Circuit, states that he will be
in the next race as candidate for Con-
gress from the seventh district He
says he will resign the judgeship before
he makes his formal announcement.
In an interview in the Rome Tribune,
he said:
"The rumors circulated at times to
the effect that will not be in the race
for Congress that would accept some
other position, and SO forth, are abso-
lute!y without foundation. / have said
nothing for the reason that the nomi-
nation for Congress is some eighteen

ly, however, with absolute certainty
upon the fact that, at the proper time,
l shall make my announcement and
make an active canvass for the nomina-
ton. Even before the voluntary re-
tirement OF Hon. Gordon Lee from the
coming congressional contest, it has
been my fixed determination to enter
the race for Congress.

To make wsr less terrible was
the purpose of the international
convention recently held in Lon
don, at which an agreement gov
erning naval war was adopted.
Meanwhile, all the time the in
ventors of guns and bombs and
torpedoes are working to make war
so much more terrible that it will
become impossiblel Thus we see
one set of peacemakers working IN
just the opposite direction to that
followed by another set of peace
makers.

Once on time, and not so very
long ago at that, the Northern
newspapers were in the habit of
commenting on the concealed pis-
tol toting practice with bitter sar-
casm and inyective. and referring
to it as a peculiarly Southern Gus
tom. Now we find New York and
Pennsylvania newspapers, among
them the New York Tribune,
writing seriously against the con-
cesled pistol in their own commu-
mites. Hating enforcement of
the law against carrying concealed
weapons is responsible for a great
deal of crime," says the Tribune
very truly. We are pleased to see
our Northern contemporaries re-
cognize this as q national and not
sectional vice, and to welcome
their assistance in the effort to
stamp it out.

A COMPLIMENT TO CLAY.

The creation by the senate of q
committee on expenditures is q
compliment to Senator Clay, OF
! Georgia, who has frequently advo-
Gated such a committee on the
floor of the senate. Indeed, Mr..
Clay made a strong argument in
favor of a commission to inquire
INTO the expenditures of the gov
eminent on the very last day of
the slxtieth congress-March 4th.
1t was then that he called atten-
ton to the enormous growth of the
expenditures, and declared that
the senate should take steps to
prune down the expenditures of
the government.
The new committee will be
known as the committee on ex-
penditures, or budget, and it will
be it's duty to inquire into all of
the estimates submitted by the
various departments and bureaus.
1t Is believed the expenditures will,
in this way, be considerably cur
tailed. -Ralph Smith, Washington

Further caving of the Gatun
dam Is reported, A very serious
cave occurred during the past week,
although efforts are made to mini
mlze it's effects. However, it is
estimated that three hundred feet
of the dam, along the relocated
Panama railroad, settled about
thirty feet. This is certainly big
cave. But the greatest significance
doesn't lie in the magnitude of the
cave, but in the fact that it occur
red on the same place where the
dam sank last November.
