THE CREDIT OF THE UNITED
- STATES.

The credit of this government was
shown to be better than that Of any other
government by the sale of the Panama
canal per cent bonds. These bonds
did not give their owners the privilege
of using them as a. basis for bank
note circula ton, nor was there any
other privilege extended to them which
would affect their general market
value Their sale, therefore. measured
the credit of the government. The
premium which was realized upon the
bonds made the actual interest rate
OF the transaction 2 900 per cent

MEASURES TO PREVENT DELAY
AND UNNECESSARY COST
OF LITIGATION.

In promotion Of the movement for the
prevention Of delay and unnecessary cost.
in litigation, l am glad to say that the
Supreme Court has taken steps to reform
the present equity rules of the federal
courts and that We may in the near fu-
ture expect a revision of them which
will be a long step in the right d.
rection.'
The American Bar Association has rec
commended to Congress several bills eX-
pediting procedure. one of which has al
ebruary g. 1911. This directs that no
judgment should be set aside or reversed,
or new trial granted, unless it appears
to the court, after an examination of the
entire cause, that the error complained OF
has injuriousiy affected the substantial
rights OF the parties. and also provides
for the submission OF issues of fact to a
jury, reserving questions of law for SUBJ
sequent argument and decision. l hope
this bill will pass the Senate and be-
come law. for 1t will simplify the pro-
cedure at law.
Another bill to amend chapter IL of
the judicial code, in order to avoid err
rors In pleading, was presented by the
same association, and one charging the
jurisdiction Of the Supreme Court so as
to permit that court to examine. upon a
writ Of error, all cases In which any
right or title is claimed under the Con-
stitution. or any statute or treaty of the
United States, whether the decision in
the court below has been against the
right or title or in its favor. Both these
measures are in the interest of justice
and should be passed

POST OFFICE.

At the beginning of the present admin
istration in 1909 the postal service vas
in arrears to the extent of $17,479, TO. A.
1t was very much the largest deficit on
record. In the brief space Of two years
this has been turned into surplus Of
$4,000. which has been accomplished
without curtailment of the postal IA
cilities. as may be seen by the fact that
there have been established 2744 new
post offices: delivery by carrier has been
added to the service In 1856 cities: 2.516
new rural routes have been established.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

In respect to the Philippines, 1 urgently
join in the recommendation Of the Secre-
tary of War that the act of February +,
1895, limiting the Indebtedness that may
be incurred by the Philippine government
for the construction of public works. be
increased from $5OOO.OOO to $15, 600 600.
The finances of that government are in
excellent condition. The maximum sum
mentioned is quite low as compared with
the amount of Indebtedness of other gov
ernments with similar resources. ard the
success which has attended the expendi-
ture of the $5.OOOOOO in the useful i'm
provements of the harbors and other
places in the islands justifies and requires
additional expenditures for like purposes.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

early as the 1st OF July. 1919, unless some
thing unforeseen occurs: This is about
eighteen months before the time prom
Used by the engineers.
We are now near enough the COM
pletion of the canal to make it impera-
lively necessary that legislation should
be enacted to fix the method by which
the canal shall be maintained and con-
trolled and. the zone governed. The fact
is that today there is no statutory law by
authority of which the President isfmain-
tanning the government of the zone. Such
authority was given in an amendment to
the Spooner act, which expired by the
terms OF its own Limitation some years
ago. Since that time the government has
continued, under the advice of the Attor-
ney General that In the absence of action
by Congress there is necessarily an Inn
piled authority on the part of the execu-
tive to maintain government In terri
tory in which he has to see that the laws
are executed. The fact that We have
been able thus to get along during the
important days of construction without
legislation expressly formulating the gov
eminent of the zone. or delegatng the
creation of it to the President, is not a
reason for supposing that we may continue
the same kind of government after the
construction is finished The implied
authority of the President to maintain a
civil government In the zone may be de-
rived from the mandatory direction given
him in the original Spooner act by which
he was commanded to build the canal:
but certainly, now that the canal Is about
to be completed and to be put under a
permanent management, there ought to be
specific statutory authority for its regu-
lation and control and for the govern
ment OF the zone, which We hold for the
chief and main purpose Of operating the
canal.
1 FULLY concur with the Secretary OF
War that the problem is simply the man
agement OF a great public work. and not
the government of a local republic: that
every provision must be directed toward
the successful maintenance of the canal
as an avenue Of commerce. and that all
provisions for the government OF those
who live within the zone should be sub
ordinate to the main purpose.
The zone is forty miles long and ten
miles wide. Now Ii has population of
80, 600 or 10000, but as soon as the work
of construction Is completed the towns
which make up this population Will be
deserted and only comparatively few ma
tives will continue their residence there
The control Of them ought to approx
mate a military government. One judge
and two justices Of the peace will be
sufficient to attend to all the judicial and
litigated business there Is. With a few
fundamental laws OF Congress the zone
should be governed by the orders of the
President. issued through the War De-
partment, as ii Ii today. Provisions
can be made for the guarantees Of life,
liberty and property. but beyond those
the government should be that Of a mill
tary reservation. managed In connection
with this great highway of trade.

and scientific and highly pleasing
to the audiences. There was not
a large turn out on Monday but
those present saw a first class ex-
hibition of scientific wrestling be-
tween Pavelka and Olsen, both
first-rate men. Pavelka was to
throw his opponent twice in one
hour. He secured the first fall
in So minutes. but when time was
called the spectators all thought
that Olsen had the best of it for
the second.
On Tuesday evening a much bet

given the worth of their money
several times. preliminary box
ing match between w. T. Piatt's
smile and Charley Smiths fighting

KEEPING ENGAGEMENTS.


II never ask Edith to come and see
now" a friend said to me the other
day. she's so uncertain, and I do
so object to being put Off if anything
more attractive turns up"
Edith is one of those people who are
always ready to accept an invitation or
make plans for an outing on the spur
of the moment, but If it pleases her
she will change her mind, even at the
eleventh hour.
you don't mind, do you?" she will
say. 81 will do so-and-so another day"
But people do mind this kind of
thing, and the unreliable person is like
ly to find her visiting list considerably
shortened very soon in consequence.
So if you are inclined to be unre-
liable, make up your mind that once
you have accepted an engagement, you
will keep it, even If it does sometimes
mean a little inconvenience.
Even an invitation to tea means
that a hostess must make some little
preparation and set aside an hour or
so for her guests entertainment.
So it isn't fair to d~isarrange her
plans at the last moment.

Cold Cream.

Dear Miss Doom.
Is there any cold cream which will
make the arms and neck heshy and
prevent the hair from growing on the
arms? Thanking you. remain. J, G. {
] cannot recommend any particular
cold cream through these columns. l
would advise you to massage your neck
and arms regularly with a pure cold
cream and pay special attention TO
building up your physical condition as
a whole. Exercises taken regularly
will work wonders toward filling out
the hollows in the neck. Try this one
for ten or fifteen minutes before re-
firing and before dressing in the morn .
ing; Drop the chin forward IN the
chest and rotate the head slowly to
form d complete circle. In order to
the full benefit from this eXer-
else you must feel the strain in the
cords of the neck while the head rs
rotating. Be sure to keep the move
ment from being jerky, otherwise 4
headache is apt to be the result. Avoid
wearing high, tight collars. These keep
the blood from circulating properly and
furnishing the proper mount of nour
ishment for the tissues.
