We are now respectfully addressing
those Senators who have resisted loyalty
and consistently every previous attempt
to subject the business interests Of this
nation, within the States, to a super
vision, inquisition and control by the
Government at Washington never con-
tempiated by the Constitution Of the
United States. Whether attempted by
means Of the forced construction of the
interstate commerce clause, or by any
other indirect expedient for the perver-
sion of Federal functions, these efforts
have been met and defeated. We are
asking these Senators if they are awake
to the fact that all that has failed to be
done, in the direction of Federal con-
troll OF all incorporated industry within
the States, and thousand times more
than the widest advocates Of centralized
power have ever dreamed of doing, may
be accomplished at stroke of Mr..
TAFI's pen by the enactment Of profit
tar on the earnings Of corporations Of
every class. The earlier pretexts and
subterfuges of Federal aggression are
rendered superfluous by this simple and
direct method of approach entry and
absolute domination, even to the exer-
else OF the power of life or death, The
power to tax is the power to prohibit and
to destroy. We are asking the conser-
vative Senators if they really under
stand the meaning and the consequences
Of the compromise in which they are
invited to participate. Do they think
that II once introduced as an emergency
measure it will ever disappear from our
system? We also invite their attention
to some not unimportant expressions of
public opinion printed elsewhere on this
page concerning the stamp tax as the
proper method of dealing with a tenn
porary deficiency of revenue.

To THE EpIToR OF TEE sUS-!sir: The
letter Of Mr.. John A. C. Wright which an.

and shipping interests and Is especially
worthy of study In connection with the 10.

that In the consideration Of public questions
Of this magnitude local jealousies have so
much to do In rendering abortive the plans
Of those greater minds which can foresee
what 10 demanded by the commercial re-
auirements OF the country as q whole.
Much misspprehension exists with regard
TO the project Of the Georgian Bay Shin
Canal. The writer has personally gone
over every foos Of the limo Of the proposed
canal and has studied all that he has
found published In regard to this excellent
enterprise. When the eastbound Grain

time II 10 questionable II II would pay. In
cost OF slSo. .ooo. 900 Is probably an under.
estimate. The proposed waterway runs
through desolste region and will be closed

Government will probably build It In ad.

The deepening OF tho Welland Canal to

mention the worst danger SPOT OF the whole

The Governors Wall street Com
mission.

The report of an investigating COM
mission, Congressional, legislative or
even municipal, is no longer greater
breakfast table novelty than the GUS
tomary citrus fruit. For at least five
years now the unending professions of
merciless muckrakers of official char
acter have been defiling before an ap-
preciative but not unwearied public,
bearing the garnered sheaves of their
happy harvest Of sin, shame and sor-
row. The appearance of another body,
which has somewhat inaccurately &C.
quired the title Of the Wall Street In
vestigating Commission, will therefore
awaken little surprise. A brief glance
ut it's solid. serious and Unconditional
report, moreover, suggests the notion
that this document will stimulate little
general interest.
The truth is that this Wall Street
Commission seems to have gone about
deliberately mourning popular disre-
gard il not dlsapproval. With oppor-
tumties for headlines, agitations, ex-
pos,ires, rediscoveries Of decalogic pro-
hibitions and inhibitions, this commits
sion has obstinately and to our own
mind foolishly insisted upon listening
to testimony. accepting competent evil
dence and thereafter studying the tes-
timony. 1t is not surprising. therefore,
that instead of moral revolution it
has achieved only few paltry recon-
mendations for petty penal code amend
ments and few fragments of sage
advice to the stock dealing world. In
stead Of promulgating a pronuncia-
nnento OF moral uplift the commission
has, as a necessary consequence of its
course, contented itself with the re-
discovery Of certain principles Of polit-
ical economy; disclosed Wall Street as
q creature and not sovereign. Such
another opportunity has not been lost in
recent times.
To the thoughtful person. however,
nothing will 80 much commend the re-
port OF this commission as the paucity
OF its recommendations for new laws.
Created originally at a time OF much
prejudice, passion and public agita-
upn. the way was open for this body
to attain the tempestuous if transient
praise Of all the progressive elements
az the community by denunciation of
Wall Street, supported by half truths
and partial facts, the ammunition of
the muckraker, official and unofficial
Stupidly, however, the commission pur-
sued fact, not fame-and as result
ives first forgotten, and will doubtless
subsequently be denounced,
Z The duty OF the commission, that is,
The duty incumbent upon this body us
. properly constituted vehicle Of popu-
lar wrath and. public frenzy, was to

friends. There are members of the
Senate who without doubt do not ap-
prove of La Toilette, but Penrose is
the only member of that body who
would deliberately question his honesty.
Abuse from that quarter has no terror
for La Toilette. 1t is we'll that he saw
fit to restrain himself. Nothing could
be more effective than the manner in
which he handled the situation.
''As to the remarks of the Senator
from Pennsylvania, said La Toilette,

a more important service to the coun-
try, to the Senate, and to the State of
Pennsylvania if he would account for
the way he spends his time when out

The country took considerable inter-
est in the brutal assault of Senator Pen
rose upon Senator La Toilette. Of
this incident the Washington Times said
editorially:
Senator La Toilette conducted HIM
self in commendable fashion when he
undertook to deal with the reflections
cast upon him by Sen. Penrose. Those
who did not know him expected that he
would rave and storm and enter upon
a sensational denunciation of the man
who questioned his honesty and accused
him of feigning illness. They were
mistaken. AS matter of fact La
Toilette seemed to be more concerned
about the manner in which he had
sighted Senator Gallinger by refusing
to yield the floor to him than he was
about the insulting utterances of Pen
rose. When he finally got around to
that gentleman he dealt with him in
such an approved fashion that the big
boss of Pennsylvania did not have leg
to stand on. He disposed of him to the

MUST PUBLISH APPLICATIONS

The legislature has just enacted a
new law requiring the publishing of the
applications of all persons desiring to
secure saloon licenses. The new law
compels each saloonkeeper to file his
application, together with the name of
his bondsmen and the location of his
proposed saloon, with the city clerk at
least Is days prior to July 1st. The
law also requires the saloonkeeper to
pay the clerk at that time sum of
money sufficient to pay for three publ
cations of such applications at the rate
of IS cents per folio or less for the first
insertion and 35 cents for each of the
other two insertions.
The law explicitly provides that any
person intending to secure licenses on
July LIST must have his application filed
with the city or town clerk at least Is
days prior to July LIST.
Heretofore there has never been a
law requiring the publication of these
applications, and it has been sufficient
for the saloonkeepers to file their
applications day or two before the
council or town board met, the last of
June, but with this new law it will be
necessary for them to get out their
applications about two weeks earlier,
and also pay for the same to be pub
lished, so that everybody will know
who the men are that desire saloon
licenses the coming year.

When travelling through the Shan

His palace" was a matched hut on
stills, close to the Salween river; he
had several wives, who manifested
great curiosity when they saw their
lord in conversation with a white man.
and his retirue consisted of some
four-and-twenty men armed with the
quaintest collection of old guns that
ever came out of curiosity shop.

small, plump hand for me to shake.
