The Thanksgiving Dinner.

There are so many novel and at
tractive favors and decorations to be
used for the Thanksgiving table that
a hint will bring out unique surprises.
Orange is the favorite color and may
be used in all its shades in the decora-
tive scheme for this celebration.
A nice-shaped pumpkin may be
chosen for the fruit basket. With
care a very good basket handle and
all may be cut. Fill the pumpkin
basket with grapes, red apples.
bananas, oranges and a few autumn
leaves, If fortunate enough to have
pressed some of the brilliaut-hued
ones. These may be laid about on the
table around the basket.
The place cards could be decorated
in autumn leaves and %favors, OF might
be small pumpkins bought at the
caterers holding bonbons. Another
beautiful c~enterpeice could be made
by decorating. a fiat basket with
punches of wheat tied to the basket
and All 1t with the autumn fruits. A
pen and ink turkey or a, Puritan
maid make appropriate designs fol

Fortifying the Canal.


A few American newspapers and
public men-and fortunately they are
very few-still profess to believe that
tho United States has no right to forti-
fy the Panama canal. and this despite
the fact that we are building it with
our w money on u W territory
and despite the further facts that the
first draft Of the Hay. Pauncefote
treaty was rejected by our senate be-
cause it prohibited the fortifying of
the canal and afterward was amended
by striking out the offensive clauses.
that Secretary Hay expressly notified
the British government of our eserv
ton of the right to fortify, which was
substantially acknowledged by the
British foreign Office. and that in the
treaty with the republic of Panama we
stated in so many words our right to
establish Notifications"
In the nature of the case a nation
has n right to protect its W prop.
erty. Likewise IT has n right to police
its own territory. It would not be pos
sible to police and protect the Panama
canal in time of war without. -fortifca-
lions. -:
1t is safe to say that our building of
forts along the new waterway-and
they are going to be buiIt-will be
taken SO much as a matter Of course
by other nations that not a voice will
be raised in protest. AS for Il own
DIRECTORS. they are in SO small q minor
fly as to be negligible.

The Few Governors.

Or a few days later t%wenty-one states

bodies also have changed party faith.

denial insist that Mr.. Taft already has
the denomination cinched.
To schedule trip Of 1900 miles for
the president, sort out of thousands of
invitations from almost every city, vii
lage and hamlet of the country a few
hundred that shall be accepted, work
out list of stops, hours Of addresses,
time tables and all the other details, is
task the size of which the average
man can hardly realize. The culling
over of the invitations is attended to by
Secretary Hilles and the White House
office force. The selection of the ac.
tual points to be visited is, of course, a
matter for the president himself. The
arrangement of time tables and run
ming schedules is made by the passen-
ger department of the railroad on
which the trip originates, in this case
the Boston and Albany. The notifica-
tion of the cities the president is to
visit, also of the committees having
matters in charge, is attended to by
the White House force. By far the
heaviest portion of the details falls on
the shoulders of a secret service man,
however. His name is Lucien Wheeler,
but he is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific as "Jack" Wheeler. He is
only q little past thirty years of age,
yet he has been looking after presi-
dental tours for some years. He has
not only to provide for the safety of
the president, but for his comfort, en-
tertainment, precedence of those who
are to welcome and who are seated
with him at banquets and a thousand
and one other things the mere thought
of which would make the average
mans head spin like top
Jack Wheeler acts as the advance
agent of the presidential tour. He goes
about two weeks ahead of the main
show and arranges everything except
the presidential smile. When and
where Mr.. Taft speaks, where he is to
go and in what conveyances, where he

who forms his guard-all Of these and
many other things are kindly worked
out and organized by the thoughtful
and omnipresent Jack Wheeler. Per-
haps the president is still free agent
and can follow the prearranged pro-
grams or not as suits him, but he sell
dom breaks over.
We enviously speak of the president
as having the greatest power of any
man in the land, yet as a matter Of
fact there is scarcely one outside of a
penitentiary with so little liberty. He
is the slave of his Office and of the pub
lie. He can so nowhere in privacy. His
time is mostly taken up with inter
views, demands, requests, public af-
fairs and delegations. In all Of his

1t is not alone the veto of the wool,
cotton and free list bills that the presi-
dent Is discussing, but the arbitration
treaties with France and England that
the senate has shown a disposition to
hold up and amend. BY appealing to
the people Mr.. Taft hopes to bring pub
lie opinion to bear on the honorable
senators. There are also those who
aver that the latest presidential tour
may result in getting more Taft dele
gates in the Republican national con-
vention and that the shrewd surmise
to this effect may have been present
in the minds of those mapping out the
trip. The presidents friends reply,
"No such thing!' or something of that

roun-al-Raschid used to break away
and be a private citizen now and then,
and even modern kings and princes
travel incog, but Taft cannot thus es-

pounds or to conceal a smile that is
famous from Guam to Porto Rico.
Following the lines laid down by
Jack Wheeler is only an incident of
the presidential slavery. Most men
are bossed by their wives, but Mr.
Taft is bossed by everybody. Com
mittees here and there are pulling him
this way and that, editors and sena-
tors are telling him what to do. his
cabinet is advising him, reporters are

LAMBETH WARE.
Extremely Rare Set of Six Plates
With Moral Inscriptions.
From the Queen,

From the queen
Ever since some Dutch potters settled
at Lambeth about go years ago the pot
terry produced there has been priced. The
ware was Of that kind made in imitation
of the Dutch delft with a tin glaze, hav-
ing landscapes and figures painted In
blue. The next step was that of Van
Hamme, who in 1915 obtained a patent
to produce titles and porcelain and other
earthenware after the way produced in
Holland. which hath not been produced
in this kingdom
OF course. the porcelain mentioned was
not porcelain, but, like his rival, Dwight
of Fulham, he made hard, compact stone
ware which in those days was called por-
celain. For a century the business pros
pered until the Staffordshire men
emerged from obscurity and produced
that pretty pottery" as the French
called their salt glaze.
Meantime, at Lambeth the potters man.
ufactured various articles. such as cam
dlesticks, puzzle jugs. sack bottles, salt
cellars. plates, dishes, pharmacy Jars,
etc. The most conspicuous wares perhaps
were plates and dishes with portraits
thereon, such as Queen Catherine of
Braganza, William and Mary, Adam and
Eve and such like pieces. Also those Pc
culiar pieces called the blue dash dishes
Others, again, were armorial, such as the
Leather Sellers Company.

which the Lambeth potters elaborated
was to convey moral ideas In the way Of

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME, April GA bundle of apparent
ly authentic letters from the late Queen
Victoria has been discovered among the
belongings OF an English governess in
Rome under singular circumstances.
On the night of the royal ball in honor
of Italy's golden jubilee 5000 worth of
iewehy was stolen from the boudoir of
one Of Queen Elena's ladeis-in- waiting.
Detectives called at the palace, and. after
several days inquiry, arrested, on a war
rant, an English governess, thirty -four
years of age, hailing from Liverpool
The lady-in- waiting and her husband
were amazed at the turn developments
had taken, and the governess, in tears,
stubbornly denied the charge.
All the missing jewels, with the ex-
ception of precious pearl necklace. were
found by the police, sewn inside the stuff
iEg of an elegant easy chair in the gov
erness bedroom, where also came to light
a colored cotton threaded needle employ
ed in hiding the plumber. When informed
in prison of the result Of the search, the
accused, it is said, finally confessed, and
told the police that they would find the
missing necklace stuffed inside the hat
she wore at the moment of her arrest.
Inasmuch as the governess always re-
sided with titled families in Rome. the
authorities are forwarding her photo
