CONFINEMENT.

Contentment is the sum total Of
human happiness. During the
whole progress Of human life the
principal materials Of our comfort
or uneasiness lie within ourselves.
If the covetous or disconnected
could have more wealth and honor
and be preserved from enemies and
in6rmities, if they could have per-
petual youth given them, still they
would be restless and unhappy. To
good persons the little they have is
under blessing, and therefore, be-
ing content with it, they are happy.

REFUSES TO INVESTIGATE

President Taft still refuses to
relent in his opposition to a congress
sional investigation of either the
sugar under weighing frauds or
the sale by the government of
valuable sugar lands to the sugar
trust. The first resolution intro
duced by Rep. John A. Martin, of
Colorado, providing for an investig-
alton by congress was smothered to
death. Mr.. Martin has now intro
duced a second resolution. He
alleges that the sugar trust has
been allowed to acquire $4,000
acres of the richest sugar lands in
the Philippines, and that the valid
ity of this transaction is open to
most serious question. in view Of
the fact that the law of the Philip
pines expressly declares that not
more than $500 acres of land shall
be sold to any single corporation.
Sanction was given to the transac-
ton in question by. Attorney
General Wickersham, who was a
former member of the New York
sugar trust law firm of Strong &
Cadwalader, which firm Mr.. Martin
declares, was directly concerned
with the alleged illegal sale. Pres
ident Taft's brother is still a men,
Der of this firm. Whether the
President can much longer prevent
a sweeping investigation of the
entire scandal is extremely doubt
