Panama, Dec. 26.-President Taft
has decided not to appoint a civil gov

spent part of Christmas outside Of
American territory. He attended the
ball given in his honor last evening by
President Porras, and this function
was held in the National Theatre at
Panama. 1t therefore was necessary
for President Taft to leave the limits
of the Canal Zone in order to fulfill
his engagement.

Taft a hearty reception. The Presi-

ship of the three year homestead
law, let us keep these facts in
mind: That the original home
stead law and all subsequent legis-
lation were enacted by Republican
administrations and that the pres
ent liberal three year law only
became operative by the signature
of President Taft, supported by a
Republican senate.
