An unfortu..se Episode,

An Unfortunate Episode.
The House was last week the scene
Of an ugly episode brought about BY
an effort Of the republicans, under the
leadership OF Mr.. Tawney, to secure q
deficiency appropriation for President
Taft's travelling expenses. Some
southern democrats opposed the ap-
preparation, when Mr.. Tawney came
back at them with the tsunt that they
had invited the President to theil
states, accepted his hospitality, rid
den on his special train, eaten, drank
and smoked, and now grudged q small
appropriation. Mr.. Tawney made
some slurring remarks about Wanted
southern hospitality, to which a
number OF southern members replied
with great heat.
That the episode is deplored at the
White House is shown by a letter
from the President to Mr.. Tawney,
which he has made public. The
President concludes his letter to Mr..
Tawney with the words: I'm all my
experience-and I have enjoyed the
hospitality of many sections and
countries in the world never had
a more cordial, generous, open
and lavish welcome than l had in the
cities during my trip, and
the slightest hint that puts me in the
attitude OF critic Of that hospitality
gives me great pain"

Steamboat and coaster captains are
greatly interested in the attempt to secure
an appropriation from Congress for the
esta blishment Of lighthouse outside Of
Monhegan. 1t is stated that at present
the fog whistle on Monhegan cannot be
picked up readily in difficult weather
condition because the sound blows inshore.
The whistling buoy, which is stationed
about two miles outside Of Monhegan,
does not help much in . thick fog or
stormy weather. The light vessel, il the
appropriation is secured, will be anchored
Just about where the whistling buoy is
now located.

American Sugar Refining
Company Turns New Leaf

The books of the company also show
that a great deal of the stock is in the
hands of the trustees of estates and is
also held by charitable and similar in
stitutions for investments.
These statistics of ownership are of
distinct interest at this time, in view of
the threat of renewed government liti-
cation. Obviously, there is little to
be gained, considering the desire of the
new management to at once make their
organization conform to all legal re-
quirements, in forcing upon such
large body of small investors the huge
expense of a legal battle with the gov
eminent that even were the government
entirely successful could not produce
effective results.
The first practical Interpretation of
the Sherman antitrust law so far as it
can affect the form of organization of
the American Sugar Refining Company
is yet to be rendered. This will be
contained in the Supreme Court IS deci-
sions in the Standard Oil and American
I Tobacco Company cases. These deci-
sions-granting that they may techni-
cally go against the companies-will not
involve confscation of property, but
will mean-at the extreme-that the
| companies will be given time to make
whatever changes in organization the
Supreme Court shall deem necessary.
The court itself has undergone a very
radical change since the divided opin-
ion in the Northern Securities case,
which seems the chief precedent on
which the government relies in the
pending cases. Governor Hughes, for
instance, as a type of the men Presi-
| dent Taft will appoint to fill the two
| remaining vacancies on the Supreme
| Court bench, has shown in his official
| acts as governor an appreciation of the
rights of property and it seems fair to
assume that, whatever the decisions,
they will of necessity be accompanied
by orders granting ample opportunity
for readjustment. No possible time can,
it is argued, be lost to the government,
! for If suit were brought at the present
: time and an adverse judgment entered
against the company it would still be
/ subject to appeal and no final decision
] could therefore be had until the Su-
preme Court interprets the law in the
4 pending cases.
