PICTURE MEN SUPREME.

There was held Mt the jubilee ami
yersary of the battle of Bull Run last
month, a reunion of the forces North
and South, with exercises appropriate
to the day, President Taft made an
address, and all was noble and serene.
All, did we say' No; there was a
dscordant note. The moving picture
men were on the field In force, appar.
emily in command; for they assumed to
direct everybody. AS represented by n
correspondent of an Eastern newspaper,
these "artists" made their headquar-
tiers on the hill by the Henry house,
which was the key to the position OF
the main battle. They were busy get
ting photographs, and in order to get
what they wanted, they arrogated COM
mand of everybody in sight. They gave
orders to the cavalry troops where they
should take their situations, the move
ments they should make, all for the ad.
vantage Of the pictures that these mr.
fists were about to take, The State
militia was also taken charge of by the
moving picture men. The veterans of
the battle on both sides were over
whelmed by the orders from the picture
men, The sons, daughters, and grand.
children of the veterans were com
manded by the artists to get out of the
way, to disappear in the background
so that the pictures desired would rep
resent those things, and those things
only, which the picture men wanted to
have appear in their views. Some OF
the veterans objected, and, as stated
"kicked,' but it was no use. Every.
thing was at the disposal of the pic
ture men, and everybody had to submit
to their orders. There seemed to be
no one that ranked the moving picture
artists, no one who could drive them
from the field, or even protect himself
from their assumptions of authority,
These moving picture men did not IN
the least seem to realize that the scene
was a serious commemoration, and not
show got up for their special benefit
and profit; and so they had their way

ENTERPRIsINe HITCHCOCK.

Whatever may be said about the ap
parent lethargy Of Congress in the way
of helping American shipping to take
advantage of the opening of the
Panama canal (and much IN derogation
is Justly said about it, and how
ever much we may regret the fact that
there seems no intent on the part of
American shippers TO extend their IA
cilities correspondingly with the op-
portunitics offered by the opening OF
that canal there is one governmental
agency that seems alive TO the situa-
tion; that is the Postoffice Department,
Postmaster General Hitchcock has Is
sued an order looking to the establish
ment of a fast ocean mail service be-
tween leading American ports on the
Atlantic and the ports of Colon and
Panama, as well as our ports on the
Pacific.
This mail service, contemplates that
the speed of the steamers must be at
least sixteen knots an hour, and they
must be ready to begin the service in
the early fall Of 1914, or before the
Panama canal is opened for traffic. The
contract proposed is for a weekly ser
vice between New York and Colon,
with a stop at either Charleston or
Savannah, or both, and between New
Orleans and Colon direct; and on the
and San Francisco and Panama, with
calls at either San Pedro or San Diego,
or both. When the canal is opened
those steamers will be able to carry
United States mails to and from Colon
and Panama and continue their journey
through the canal proceeding in one
way to the western coast, and on the
other way to the eastern coast. The
service contemplates also connection
with South American ports in Colon
hia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chill,
This is the first sign of awakening
that we have seen on the part of the
United States to the Importance of the
canal for shipping, It is to be hoped
that Congress may back the efforts of
the Postmaster General, and arrange
for the encouragement of American
shipping, so that we ourselves may get
for ourselves at least portion of the
advantages of the canal which we shall
have built. We printed the other day
an account of German steamship COM
pany preparing to extend its operations
through the canal to the west coast and
to Japan. For that purpose the COM
pany was getting dock facilities in San
Francisco, and laying out an elaborate
programme Of improvements, We trust
that Congress may take notice of what
the Postoffice Department is proposing
and back that proposition with effective
measures for the aid of American ships

THE SOUND VIEW.

It is difficult to understand how the
opponents of President Taft can fg'
ure any advantage for themselves or
any disadvantage TO the President, IN
the strenuous effort which they are
making TO connect him with the cleo
ton of Senator I.orimer, and TO claim
him as n powerful factor in that cleo
tiou The assertion of Mr.. Hines that
he got from Senator Aldrich the word
that President Taft was desirous or
the election of Mr.. Lorimer is ex-
plicitly denied by Senator Aldrich on
the stand, who says that what he told
Hines was, that the President was an1"
ious for the election of a Republican
Senator in Illinois; which is per-
fectly reasonable proposition, q senti-
ment which the President would quite
naturally express. Then Mr.. Hines
transfers it to somebody else, who
also denies, and then to another, who
denies again, and so it goes. How
ever, the game is hardly worth the
candle; it will be impossible to con-
meet President Taft injuriously with
the Lorimer election. The situation is
clearly and soundly summed up In the
following brief editorial in the Phila,
delphia Record:
1t is OF no consequence whether the
President expressed a wish TO have LoTi
mer elected or not The attitude OF the
President is not being investigated. II
did not lie with tho President to select a
Senator for Illinois. and Lerlmer was not

Investigating the question whether Lori
mer was elected by bribery. and hi5
friends are trying TO befog the issue and
create Republican sentiment by drag
ging in the name Of the President.
That is the whole case in a NUT
shell. Even if the President had ex
pressed a desire for the election OF
Lorimer, which it is evident that ht
did not, and it appears unreasonable
that he should have done, it is cleal
that this would have no weight will

CENTRAL BANK FORMING.

AS our banking laws now are, there
is no way to establish a Central Ma
tional bank such as is proposed in the
Aldrich Central Reserve Association;
that name being but a thin disguise for
full-fledged Central National bank.
And yet the National banks of this
country appear to be gradually find
ing way to make what amounts prac'
tically to Central National bank. A
recent development in New York needs
but very little expansion to blossom
forth into centrality which amounts
practically to the same thing as a
| Central National bank for the Ma
tional banks.
The National City Bank of New York
not long ago incorporated what IS
called The National City Company. The
National City Bank holds the stock of
this National City Company, which is
made in effect a holding company for
the outside operations of the National
City Bank. This holding company has
transferred to it by the National City
banks which it cannot legally hold in
its own name. This holding company
also may buy on its own account the
stock of any National city bank. 1t
is thus manifest that around nucleus
like this, an institution which amounts
in every respect to a Central National
Bank can be built up.
The National City Bank of New York
is the greatest bank in the United
States. II has resources and deposits
lions of dollars. II desires to extend
its business, but cannot do so directly
under the law; for the investment by
National banks of their surplus funds
in other National banks is declared by
the courts to be plainly against the
meaning and policy of the statutes
from which National banks derive their
power, and evil consequences would
be certain to cnsue if such course Of
conduct were countenauced as law
full.
But, holding companies, as such, have
never been declared illegal. And be-
cause they have not, the National City
Bank of New York is enabled, so it
thinks, TO see x way Of controlling.
not only its own corporate business,
but any number of National banks in
which it can acquire the control. There
is no doubt but that such branching
out as is thus undertaken by the Ma.
tional City Bank of New York would
be clearly against the law if under
taken directly by the bank itself The
main question is whether that bunk
or any other National bank will be al.
lowed by the courts TO do in an indirect
manner, aud through holding COM
pany, that which it is forbidden to do
directly, and as the National City Bank.
The holding company is an express ere
alton of the National City Bank No
other bank has any interest in it. nor
would its status under the law be af.
fected, whether other banks were in
terested in IL or not, The main aues,
tion would necessarily arise on the
power of the National banks to do
through holding companies like this,
that which, as banks. they are ex-
prcssly forbidden in the law to do
Undoubtedly the matter will have TO
come before the courts, and il looks as
though the courts would be pretty Ger
