that we, the people of the United States.
owe our liberties and our free institu-
uons-the glory and admiration of the
world-to the Catholic Church. Such a
claim. whether implied or expressed is
absurd. Fortunately, Columbus did not
discover that part OF the mainland
whose English settlers afterward estab-
lished the United States. If he had,
instead OF the magnificent republic of
free institutions We now have, what is
now the United States would have been
Identical in Its Institutions, and its
status in every respect, with Mexico and
other countries established in America
by Catholics. Let us all be just. Co.
lumbus. Catholic, undoubtedly discov-
cred America; but the grand institu-
tions of the United States were un-
doubtedly established by Protestants of
English descent. Lord Baltimore estab
lished religious federation in his Catholic
colony, of Maryland. But he was thu.
subject Of a Protestant power, and
probably granted federation because he
mad to. Catholic Maryland was subject
to Protestant England.

Cable Is Stretched
To lnjure Sheriff

POTTSVILE, Pa, Nov a.-While
coming down the steep grade on the
Brandonville road. Sheriff Murphy and
three companions had a narrow escape
from death. At spot where it could
not readily be seen until too late, an
iron cable was strung across the street
and strongly fastened to a tree.
1t would have caught the sheriff and
the other occupants of the automobile
just at the neck, and undoubtedly
would have decapitated them. Two
small boys who warned the party gave
them opportunity TO stop the car Just

STIFLING THE TABLOID FORM
OF BEVERAGE.

The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. has handed down decision to
the effect that the tabloid form of
whisky, beer, and wine which wise
Westerner is said to have discovered,
invented, or devised will have to pay
the revenue tax just as if it gave it's
color in the cup. Tire decision was in
many instances the first intimation
that these standard intoxicants could
be put up after the fashion of nougat
and peanut brittle. 1t sent Q thrill
of interest, and perhaps of hope,
| through those who would be called the
thirsty ones under the old dispensa-
tion. They could easily recall cir
cumstances in which it would be en-
barrassing, if not entirely impossible,
to take drink and yet would afford
an opportunity to slip three fingers
of blue ruin into their system in the
tabloid form.
But, unfortunately, for the Western
genius, and alas for the dipsomaniacs
who are looking for new thrill, the
commissioner of internal revenue said
in handing down his decision, that he
pitied the man who would take the
liberty of upsetting his system by de-
vouring any of these new tangled
forms of intoXicants. They were, he
said, little better than simple alcohol
mixed with little glycerin.
So it is hoped that the warning will
extend as far as the announcement
of the original discovery has gone.
What 'heresy it would have been, in
fact, against the traditions of all the
beverages which have spread their
aroma through song and story. What
would become of the memories of the
rich Falernian, with beaded bubble
winking at the brim,'' and the full
! bodied mead on which the Saxon fore
fathers reared the fabric of representa-
| tive government and trial by jury !
| What would have become of that noble
science of mixing julep, which even
now is in constant danger of falling
into decay in the hands of barbarians
who crush the tender herb? A tabloid
Mamie Taylor would have been as i'm.
possible as breathing country ozone
into a rural landscape done in oils.
The only qualification to which this
general proposition is susceptible il
that possibly it would be better after
all to allow the inartistic topers who
have no feeling for the high calling
of mixology to kill themselves off a:
rapidly as possible. There is really
no place in the scheme of things fol-
those groveling natures who care moth
ing for color and bouquet and the lit
tie niceties which partially redeem
King Al Kohl. 1t would not be Ions
before the topper and the tabloid hac
destroyed one another, which would
leave more room for the gourmetl
OF the beaded glass.

STOCKS AND BONDS CON-
MISSION REPORT.

Mr.. Samuel Untermyer, while be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com.
mittee the other day, was asked by
Senator Cummins to define a trust
The Senator observed that he knew
nobody better qualified to give the
definition, and he was likely right, for
Mr.. Untermyer has been one of the
most successful organizers of big COM
binations.,
Notwithstanding his wide expert.
ence and expert knowledge on that
side of the proposition, Mr.. Inter
myer in his public utterances in re-
cent years has invariably pointed out
the public's interest in these matters,
and done it with much vigor and d-
rectness. Therefore, interest must at.
tach to his suggestion that the British
companies act would make very prop
er basis for corporation control code
for this country. The companies act
looks to careful publicity, and to the
prevention of overcapitalization 1t in.
cludes appraisal, under official aus.
pices, of any property which is taken
in exchange for shares of stock; and
while discounts and commissions are
permitted in connection with the sale
of securities, the measure of these
must be known to everybody who
buys. In short, the British codes key
notes are real, effective publicity and
the prevention of overcapitaliza tion.
Mr.. Untermyer is borne out, in his
general view of the problem and its
remedy, by the conclusions of the Had.
ley commission OH capitalization of the
railroads. While this report has not
been given publicity as yet, there is
unofficial intimation of its general
contents and conclusions, and these are
understood to include demand foI
valuation of the railroads, provision
against issuance of securities in ex.
cess of actual physical valuation plus
reasonable estimate of good will val
uation; and full publicity of actua
values as appraised.
All this is getting very closely il
line with the British law for the gov
erhment of company organization
Likewise, is it getting close to the pro
posals that have been urged upon Con
gress time and again by progressive
of both parties. There is every reasoi
for the expectation that these pro
posals will in the near future be urget
upon Congressional consideration will
more vigor than ever before. In tn,
present temper OF public, it may b,
expected that the antitrust law will
be supplemented with measures tha
will in the end work out pretty com
plete code of corporation regulation.
There is no more encouraging sign
in this connection, than the increasing
disposition to take counsel of mel
who, like Mr.. Untermyer, have had ex
perience in this line of business. The
men who have dealt with big business
cannot be set down as necessarily dan
gerous advisers. They know the facts
from experience; and their advic,
ought to be taken at it's honest value
The problem is one that cannot b,
solved without the cooperation of th'
men who manage and counsel the great
business enterprises of the country.
