To frame a measure bearing upon
any important governmental problem
SO perfect in expression as to defy
criticism, or easily to overcome it
when made by experts, is not an easy
thing by any means. In the matter
of the corporation tax, however, there
is every reason to believe that we will
get law clearly expressed and one
that will be able to pass muster in
the courts if taken there. Not only is
President Taft, the father of the cor
poration tax measure, a lawyer of the
first class, but his advisers in this
matter, Mr.. Wickersham, Mr.. Knox,
Mr.. Root, and several others, are
known to be tho best qualified law
yers in the country to decide upon
this or any other legal question.

1t is gratifying to know that the
United States banking interests will
have an opportunity to participate in
the loan of $27,500,000 which the
Chinese government had practically
agreed to divide between financial
institutions in Great Britain, Germany
and France for the purpose of rail
road construction. China has at nc
time signified any intention of break
ing the promise made to Minister
Conger in 1904 to the effect that
American interests would be con-
suited when money was necessary to
carry on the process if industrial de.
velopment, but when she began the
negotiations for borrowing 1927 7,500,-
600 no United States bankers were
consulted, nor was the State Depart,
ment apprised of her intentions. The
diplomacy of Secretary Knox, how
ever, is responsible for the action OF
the Chinese government in Offering a
part of the loan to American interests
and the Secretary of State regards
this as merely preliminary to a more
extensive investment of American
capital in China.

work this time Of the year. Secretary
Wilson has just returned to Washing

BIRTHDAY OF ROBERT f. LEI

-
On Tuesday next. January 10, is the
anniversary of the birthday of General
Robert L. Lee. and throughout the
South there Yill be held appropriate
ceremonials in which Confederate Vet
Grams and Daughters of the Confederacy
should &C conspicuous.
it is true the fame of Lee is not con
fined to the South His name is veneer
ated throughout the civilized world. He
ranks with the greatest military COM
manders and leaders. hut he towers over
all these, since he was not moved by
ambition nor by glory but by duty to his
State, his Southland, his people. in
whose hearts his memory will ever be
enshrincd.
If Lee was majestic in war, he was
peerless as a citizen and as an edu-
Gator Of boys. Indeed in the character
of Robert E. Lee is embodied and exem-
plitied all that which, is grand, noble.
true and good and which appeals to the
best and the most sublime ideals of men,
