WASHINGTON, April N.-n a lengthy speech today Congressman Henry T. Rainey, democratic represen tative from the Twentieth district in the state of Illinois, declared that tba forty millions paid by the United States government to the Frenchmen for thc Panama canal found its way into the pockets of a select few That it was a gigantic hold-up that should be n- vestigated from start to finish. and then introduced a resolution to the af feet that congress demand an invcsti- gation pertaining to the acquisition of the canal zone by the United States
 Representative Rainey stated that subpoenas should be issued at once for T. R. Roosevelt who was president at the time the deal was put through and for William Nelson Cromwell the at torney from New York who was en- gagged by the Panama Canal Company of France to secure the passage of the bill which would secure the transfer of the French holdings to this country for forty millions of dollars
 That sum was paid for dead horse and project that had long since been given up by the French promoters who had laid down and there was nothing to stop the United States from build ing the canal. They had failed to make good in constructing a waterway

FIREPLACE AND A GIRL

From the Gallipolis Tribune.
 One of our exchanges says there are no more parlors. That is a mistake. We
 never owned one, and never wanted one about the home since we began keeping
 house. During the last 20 years great
 many families have abolished parlors for
 the very good reason that they have
 come to the conclusion that the best room
 in the house is none too good for them
 to use every day. In the old days the
 best carpet, the best furniture, the best
 pictures the prettiest curtains and the
 handsomest household ornaments were all in the parlor and the family, as a family, never enjoyed them. Only when company came was the parlor used, and even then the family did not feel at home in it. And there are many such
 parlors still in existence.
 As we look at the matter now, parlors are needed only in homes where there are girls in the family. A parlor with a big fireplace and a comfortable sofa built for two is extremely enjoyable when there is an attractive young woman in charge Of 1t. We remember one of that kind and the memory of it has entirely changed the drift of this paragraph. We intended to condemn the parlor as ar institution, without reserve, but wher 1 the memories of one particular parlol came back we found we could not do it l God bless the parlors!

A POPULAR BELIEF REFUTED

replaces the darker outer segment. As the growing of a new crop of hair in single night is beyond the possibilities of even the Seven Sutherland sisters, Stieda must needs discredit all tales of such miraculous transformation. This he does in extenso, taking up the best known instances of such supposed blanch- in support sufficient to meet critical con si6eration, much less such control as to establish an acceptable scientific demon stration. For example, he doubts the story of Marie Antoinettes sudden loss of hair pigment, stating that although the Queen certainly was gray at the time of her execution. yet this was no novelty. for she was also gray nine months before. at the time the King met his sudden end at the hands of the revolutionists.
 As for the rest of the reputed cases. many are nothing better than old wives tales, while others are examples of cred- ulity substituted for healthy skepticism and careful Investigation The explana- tion for many is unkind, being simply that the keeper of the jail or dungeon in which the unhappy heroine or hero was confined neglected to furnish his guests dressing table with the hair dye to which the latter had been accustomed at home. and that nature asserted herself before release or execution. Verify the iconoclast respects nothing-not even the gray hairs of royalty.

". H. Crook (attache at the White House
 since Lincoln's time), in Memories o the White House.
 Having a natural desire to see her babe live and thrive, Mrs. Cleveland wished her to spend a portion of each sunny day outdoors, and the nurse was directed tc take the little one in carriage to the grounds on the south side of the White House, so her lungs could be filled witl Gods fresh air-to which she was en- titled.
 If recollection serves me, the nurse and the baby carriage, not 10 mention the baby, had not been out there the first time for more than six minutes when some of the visitors strolling around spied them made a rush for them and started
 in to pet the baby and kiss her. The first few who did so attracted many more, and from that day it was impossible for little Ruth to be taken outdoors without having a group of strange women swoop down upon her from all points of the compass
 It didn't make any difference if the hour for her outing was changed, the women would be there waiting for the appear ance of the nurse and the baby carriage. And mindful of all the dangers attendant upon such feminine stupidity, Mrs. Cleve- land took the only course left open to her and the south grounds of the White House were closed to strangers
 Now, mark you, what happened. It seems almost too ridiculous for belief, but 1t is true AS soon as the great public, washed and unwashed, stranger to Wash ington and native alike, learned that they could no longer descend upon that poor. helpless babe and pat it's cheeks, and pinch its little ears, and cover it witf kisses and generally maui it around-this same intelligent public jumped at the con clusion that there must be some reason, some terrible, mysterious reason, why 1t could .iot continue.
 What could it be? Why was the child suddenly taken away from them? why was she kept within the south grounds, to which the public was suddenly denied admission? There could be only one an swer for those misguided women, and they leaped to the conclusion that Ruth Cleveland was deaf mute. If this were not enough, they also hinted that her ears were malformed and that there were other reasons for her seclusion. And. incredi- ble as it may seem, insnuations of such nature were not lacking in a section of the newspaper press which was making war on the President and his political pro- gramme,

CoIoradO's Vacant Seat

A vacancy exists in the United States Senate. Colorado has been represented by single senator ever since the death of Senator Hughes, a democrat. The legislature is demo- cratic, but no male democrat has been able to get enough votes to be elected
 This has induced the suffragists to bring forward one of their own num- Der. Sarah Platt Decker is one of the most prominent suffragists in the country, and her colleagues are pre- senting her name for the vacant seat in the Senate. The Denver correspon- dents say that her candidacy has passed the stage of being a joke.
 The appearance of woman in the Senate would shock some of the old timers, if there be any left. She cer- tainly would not shock Boies Penrose or Lorimer or Stephenson or even Cabot Lodge, and she would soon, no doubt, feet at home with progress sives and the democrats, who control the Senate. A Colorado suffragette in the Senate is a possibility and the people of Washington are awaiting the action of the legislature with in terest

pliance decision took away all control over intrastate cars so far as safety appliances are concerned, and many fear the coming decision in the Min nesota case in the supreme court will rob the states of all control over their own railroads and their own traffic. The commerce court shows determi- nation to assist in destroying the power of the states over home traffic The court is really not needed, and the democrats in Congress would be glad to see it abolished. Its. life has been short and inglorious, and it has no friends outside of the clique that stands ready at all times to deal state sovereignty blow. This clique in- cludes all standpat republicans.
