 Gentlemen. A gentleman has no nationality. He is the same in all countries. English, German, French. Chinese, all impress you alike, if they be gentlemen. The order gentlemen is the one true international society. They are brothers everywhere. They have their subtle grips, signs and shibboleths that the uninitiated can never master. Gentlemen are not bred, they are born. One is as likely to step out of the coal miners hut as out of the dukes mansion
 Hence gentlemen are the social liga- lures that keep humanity from sep arating in layers. It has never been possible to confine gentlemen to one stratum of society, much as we have loved to think so. They are the stand ing obstacle of fact against all the fiction of caste. Our garbage man is thorough gentleman; and I know a man of most select family who was born & cad and will always remain a cad.
 Every now and then Nature produces gentleman just to show how sound humanity is at the core. Such is the jugglery of names and the added significance which titles take in time, that I would rather hear of myself being called a gentleman than a saint.

TAFT SPENDS DAY
WORKING IN STUDY
Hook Protests Referred to
Attorney General.

President Taft did not go to his ofice
in the White House yesterday, but spent
most Of the day working in his library
upon a large amount Of mail which has
accumulated during the holidays. Mr..
Taft did not receive any callers. After
working hard all day, the President, ac-
companied by Mrs. Taft, took a short
automobile ride in the afternoon.
The President yesterday received a
telegram from Chairman Finn, of the
Kentucky railroad commission, protest
ing against the proposed appointment Of
Judge William c. Hook to the Supreme
Court bench, succeeding the late Justice
harlan. The protest from the Kentucky
railroad commission was forwarded to
the Department of Justice for the con-

Means to an End.
The Democrats are not interested par
ticularly in Mr.. RooseveIts statement
concerning the methods employed in get
ting the canal strip. They are interested
in learning, for possible use in the COM
ing campaign, the truth or falsity Of
the printed statements that OF the So
ODO,OO0 the United States is supposed to
have paid the French syndicate for ma
chinery and rights in the Canal Zone
only a very small portion went to the
syndicate in question. According to the
story. an inside syndicate, engineered by
Oliver Nelson Cromwell, attorney for the
French concern: Douglas Robinson, q
brother-in-Iaw of President Roosevelt.
and Charles P. Taft, brother Of the
President, and others, bought the orig
inal rights for sum far under $40,-
100000 and divided the difference.
Open Up Wide.
In the forthcoming investigation the
committee expects to tear the question
wide open, using as a basis for its re-
search material collected by the New
York World, principal defendant in the
famous libel suit brought in the name of
the United States and at the instance Of
Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Rainey, at the time
he introduced the resolution, stated that
the investigation would be promised on
this material, in the collection OF which
the World has been quite as persistent
since the United States Supreme Court
affirmed the decision OF the Circuit Court
of New York that the latter had no
jurisdiction in the case.
The Foreign Affairs Committee will
take up the Rainey resolution after the
seal bill and the Niagara Falls contro-
versy have been put out Of the way, and
will rush II right into the House, where
II is assured of passage by the Demo-
cratic majority, probably early in Feb
ruary. Then will begin an investigation
which undoubtedly will result in SUBJ
poenas for Messrs. Robinson, Taft, and
Cromwell, and may result in the calling
of Mr.. Roosevelt himself
Whether Mr.. Roosevelt becomes a can
didate or not, the Democrats feel that
any disclosures as a result of the inves-
tigation will prove excellent campaign
material, but their chief hope is that the
will be early enough and of a
nature sufficiently startling to eliminate
"a former President of the United
States" from the 1872 campaign. :,
