ON Tuesday President Taft submitted
his message TO Congress. lttreated upon
one subject only the subject of trusts
and the treatment was tame and ineffect-
i've. He suggests federal Incorporation
law.
II is a curious thing that the Presidents
entire message should be devoted to trusts.
when only afew years ago the Republican
leaders were insisting very strenuously
that there were no such things as trusts.

THE Republicans are at a considerable
disadvantage in Washington just now.
The only leaders in whom the party has
any confidence are the men who have no
confidence in the party.

ONE of the good things that Congress
should do at this session is to provide for
a parcels post system. The ever-increas-
ing extortions OF the express companies
could be nicely regulated in this way.

scent. He was told that it was cooked
by a man who had come from Aus
tria within three months and that he
had never cooked a turkey before In
his life. This story is told in Wash
ington as an example of the adapta-
bility of foreigners to Americas ways,
even to the ways of the kitchen.
There are comparatively few sena-
tors and representatives in Washing
ton, although the opening Of congress
is but few days in the future. The
home instinct is strong at Thanksgiy-
ing time and it keeps most Of the ma
tional legislators away from the capt.
tai at this early holiday season. The
New England states are represented
in the departments Of Washington In
the ranks of the clerks just as numer-
ously as other states are represented.
New Englanders always go home to
spend ThanfsgiFing day, if they have
the money and if father and mother,
or either, V brothers and sisters are
living in thg old homestead to pre-
pare the old Thanksgiving day dinner
and to welcome the wanderer.
Presidential Game Of Golf.
E President Taft likes his holiday
game of golf, and his Thanksgiving
day appetite is whetted by journey
over the links in company with Secre-
tary of State Knox, Brlgadier General
Clarence R. Edwards, or some other
official golfer of renown. From the
golf links the president. If he looks
far off across the Potomac, can get an
occasional glimpse Of the relocated
fox-following members of one Of the
great Potomac hunting clubs. Thanks
giving day in Washington is marked
as the day of the openig of the fox
hunting season in Virginia, which lies
just over the river.
The old-time Virginians still follow
the fox, and the ranks of the natives
have been augmented in recent years
by northerners who have come south
to make their winter homes. Along
the Potomac westward and a little
northward from Washington good
many "great houses" are in process Of
erection. They lack the age and dis
tinction of the old-time residences Of
Virginia and it may be that the native
born ones resent somewhat this in
trusion of the wealth Of the north,
wealth accompanied as it is frequent
ly by an ostentataion that is nothing
short of vulgar. The new rich ele-
ment, however, which is erecting
homes in Virginia, is confining itself
largely to the section of the Old Do
minion near the capital and there it
does not intrude to any considerable
extent upon the time-honored reign
of the old families who have lived in
the state themselves and through
their ancestry for hundreds Of years.

Game of Golf.

prepared for the three daily meals
have the favoring of Virginia, South
Carolina, and Louisiana. But on
Thanksgiving day everything but food
and cookery which have the savory
essence of New England in them, is
put under the ban and the president
and family eat what the Puritan faith
ers ate in tha days which now are
only memories.
Thanksgiving day is good deal of
a church-GoiLs day in Washington,
notwithsta, ling the fact that the holi-
day is regarded largely, as it is in
fact, a New England institution. The
president is Unitarian, but last
Thanksgiving dag he attended great
Thanksgiving service in st. Patrick's
Catholic church where there were

countries who're the Catholic religion

tatives OF the other countries as well.
Episcopalians, Methodists, Catholics,
Congregationalists, Unitarians, Luth-
Grams, and all the rest hid Thanks
giving day morning service in the
capital, and let it be said that while
the holiday is in every respect one
surcharged with New Englandism the
church attendance in this part Of the
country is larger than it is in many
places in the land where Thanksgiving
was instituted. The southern and
semi-southern people are greater
churchgoers than are those Of the
north.

The president has eaten many
Thanksgiving dinners in Ohio, at least
two in the Philippines and if memory
IS not at fault, he ate one in Cuba.
He never has missed his turkey, for

they live, always take precautions to

there are no records extant to prove It.
The truth is. the name was created by

this quaint Dutch character In bis
