PRESIDENT TAFT

Washington.-Activi such as has
seldom been displayed by committees
so early in the first regular session
of Congress. is now in evidence in
both wings of the capitol. Although
there are practically three parties. the
regular" Republicans. the ''insurgent''
Republicans and the Democrats, there
are signs on every hand that Presi-
dent Taft is daily gaining supporters
for his legislative program.
The skill shown by the President in
avoiding clashes with either Republi-
can faction and the knack he has ex-
hibited in compelling the aid of both
in his fight for the redemption of
party pledges, has noticeably i'm
pressed the Democratic minority. In
the house there are indications that
the threatened fusion of Democrats
and insurgent Republicans on several
legislative questions is now little
feared by the majority.

Had the mildness OF the weather in
November anything to do with the
ltghtness OF the fire loss during that
month In Canada and the United
states? The aggregate for the month
was only $l4.s0s $50. which in round
numbers was $1,000 900 below October.
and which was lower than the fire loss
IN any month last year except Decem-
Der. and lower than for any month in
the current year except March and
June. The year 1909 undoubtedly is
going to make a creditable record as
to fires. The aggregate fire loss for the
hrst II months of 1909 has been $751;
673.7oo. which is siO.ooo.OOO less than
the loss in the corresponding period
Of 1908 and s16.OoO.OOO less than dur
ing the first II months of 1907.

ELIMINATION OF "hELLo."

The matter of greetings at the tele-
phone has figured in various phlo-
sophie disquisitions. to say nothing OF
casual comment upon a thousand lips.
The loftiest flight which this interest
ting topic ever achieved. we believe.
was in late novel of very high life.
wherein the aristocratic millionairess
was represented as shuddering to the
very core of her refined being when
addressed over the telephone by the
vulgar "Hellow We presume that the
untaught individual on the other end
should have opened proceedings with
:'Greetings!" Happy Days!" May it
please your loveliness." or some such
piece of elegance. But to the most of
US "Hello!" has been good enough and
indeed sweet and satisfying word.
Why is 1t. then. that the word is slow
1y vanishing from the wires? Simply
because In this sordid age-when sec
onds are esteemed more highly than
healt or happiness-the elimination
of -Hello!" makes for speed. AS an
emol ent, a lubricant and saponifier
no criticism of the word has been Of
fered. There is something about the
Mquidity of Its utterance which com
bines a sufiiciency of shout with a
maximum of grace. Such polished
thoughts are OF no avail with the tele-
phone directors. however. Save in rare
circumstances. no "Hello," is now al
lowed to cross central's lips.

In no part of the world were
social distinctions more rigidly
defined than in colonial Virginia.
The founders of that colony
stepped from the brilliant court
of Elizabeths into the forests of
Virginia. The lord-proprietor
transported to his estate a little
army of gentlemen and indented
servants. and afterward came
the others, and almost at once
there was created a quasi-sys-
TEN of aristocracy.
The proprietor obligated him
self to protect his tenants from
the Indians; they in turn agreed
to follow him to battle-pre-
cisely the system inaugurated
by William the Conqueror for
the military defense of his
realm. His environment nat
urally bred certain habits of
command, f~ostered a capacity
for directing the efforts of
others, and imposed a sense of
responsibility upon the planter
for the lives that we're in his
keeping.
Above all else, the planter
tjealously guarded his rights as
an English freeman. When
liberty languished in England,
the Virginian sturdily resisted
every aggression of royal ty.
rants. One husband, one wife.
one home, one king, one Cod
this was the planters creed
But he reserved the right to re
nounce a monarch who violated
the ancient compact between
king and people. No other PEG
pie, numerically as unimportan
as that group of Virginia set
tiers, has given to humanity 81

From the picturesque town of
Blue Canyon to Truckee is forty
three miles, and with able STRAIT
egg the railroad generals have
picked this section of the road
as the battle-ground. The ulti-
matum has been issued that steal
ing rides on trains passing
through the snowsheds must
cease and to walk through might
result in a fire that would tie up
transcontinental traffic.
The smoke grimed wooden tun-
mel begins at Blue Canyon and
ends on the heights above Bonner
Lake.
Through the heart Of the Sierra
the sheds stand out in has relief.
A mighty monument is to the en-
ergy and constructive genius of
those giants of the early COS.
Crude were the tools-it was the
day of black powder blasting
but the completed work stands
typical of the dauntless courage
of its creators.
Having decided that all beating
of trains must stop, the company
placed Officers MeAuley and
Wright at the Blue Canyon por-
tai. Both these men are of tried
courage. In the month Of May
they took Migrants off the trains
and marched them up to the
ticket office and compelled them
to purchase tickets-the net re-
suits being a sale of over $3.50.
The officers are commissioned
by the Governor of California, bu
are paid by the company and
