PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 10.-The re- port that the French bark Edouard Detaille was in trouble and perhaps lost off the Oregon coast, proves to have been the cause of the mistaken identity of the partially dismasted yes sel which was sighted by the British bark Killarney. This was the Italian ship Maria Teresa which has arrived at Vancouver, B. c. The Edouard De- taille can hardly be placed in the ov- erdue list as she did not leave ROtter- dam until April 19.

HE KENYON BILL.

Enough was developed in the debate
in the senate yesterday on the Kenyon
interstate shipping bill, wherein it is
sought to legislate on the shipment of
intoxicating liquors from wet" into
dry" territory, to establish the doubt
full wisdom of the passage of such
measure
In the first place the inquiries made
by the strongest lawyers in the senate
of those senators who advocated the
bill clearly show that in the judgment
of these lawyers there is grave doubt
as to the constitutional power of con-
gress to delegate to the laws of the
states and the whim and caprice Of
state officials.
When the advocates OF the measure
were forced to concede through these
inquiries that the second section of
the Kenyon bill is of doubtful consti-
tutionalfty, they made the practical
concession that the bill in its entirety
is unconstitutional, for section one of
the proposed bill makes the laws of
the states whatever they may be, the
rule by which Interstate shipments are
to be controlled
That this is dangerous and perni-
cious legislation is best shown by the
fact that if the inviolability of inter
state commerce from state interfer-
ence is once jeopardized with respect
to one article of Interstate commerce,
it establishes a precedent that may
arise to plague the makers of our laws
upon other articles of legitimate COM
merce at the behest of agitators in one
or more of the states.
OF the IS states now in the Union
but states have statewide laws pro
hibting the manufacture and sale of
liquors Others have county munich
pal, parish, or township prohibition of
manufacture and sale. No state pro.
hibits the use of liquors or their pos.
session for personal use. Nearly all
states have search and seizure laws
It looks as if, aside from the constitu-
tional validity of a measure delegating
to the states the regulation of inter
state shipments of liquor, the advo
Gates of the Kenyon bill should devote
their energies to the enforcement OF
state laws of unquestioned validity
Strict enforcement of state laws would
accomplish all that the advocates OF
the Kenyon bill assert they are seek
ing.
The Kenyon bill, aside from its yer
biage, proposes to subject interstate
shipments of liquors to the operation
of state laws before the interstate
shipment is completed by delivery to
the consignee.

ThE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Reference to newspapers published
in all parts Of the country give cause
for rejoicing that Santa Claus is uni
versally busy these days and the in
dications are that Notwithstanding
there are many thousand more little
boys and girls than year ago fewer
will be disappointed when they wake
.up Christmas morning The spirit Of
Christmas is growing more and more
.unselfish and the hearts Of men and
women are becoming more and more
receptive to the mute pleadings of
little folk not their own {Cra in Kan
sas City there is to be a great big mu-
nicipal Christmas tree on which will
hang thousands of toys and packages
of candy for children not otherwise
provided for In addition to this grand
scheme of gift distribution there axe
various commendable mipriVate en-
terprises that will fill stockings with
good things without word Of inquiry
as to whether these stockings are rag
ged or otherwise.
As it is being done in Kansas City,
so are similar efforts being put forth
in practically every city, town and
hamlet in the broad nation. The new
Christmas spirit is spreading and de-
veloping and it is accomplishing won
ders not only in bringing JOY to thou
sands and thousands of youngsters
who might otherwise yearn in vain
for evidence of Santa Claus visit, but
it is making a nation full of men and
women better The Christmas appeal
reaches the heart II is different from
any other appeal He who can resist
this appeal with hardened heart is
dead to every sense of human sym
pathy. The Christmas appeal plays
legitimately upon the most sacred
memories and il awakens thoughts that
may have lain dormant for decades.
The men and women who have been
Ueleu DA Lllt StoIllS VI lut N19ti .
who have battled with the adyersities
of selfish world until their sensibli-
ties are calloused, can yet be reached
by this appeal in behalf Of the little
children
In times past it has been the Gus
tom for most well-to-do fathers and
mothers to think only of their 'own
offspring safe and warm in homes OF
comfort and luxury To them Christ
mas meant only that their own chill.
dren should reyel in abundance and
enjoy the fruits of opulence. Some
times the real Christmas spirit was
almost buried by the muniticence oi
it's expression. Children of the rich
were delighted by presents so extraya
giant that they taught their recipients
habits of improvidence and waste. But
it is growing more and more the habit
of Americans to extend their Christ
mas giving beyond the circle of theil
own families and immediate friends

INVESTIGATING THE STOCK EX-
CHANGE.


There will always be stock and pro
duce exchanges From the dawn of
history me nbala gathered at central
points to buy and sell commodities.
In Europe there are great trading
fairs, like that at Mini Noyorod,
waere for centuries country people
have gathered to swap tallow, hides,
grain and cattle for manufactured
products
The stock exchange is simply the
modern counterpart Men swap pa
per certificates Of ownership instead
of the real article owned
Let no one think that the result of
the pending Investigation of Wall
street will be the closing of the stock
exchanges. If the brokers We're
turned out of doors, they would simp-
ly meet in the street or on a vacant
lot, and existing evils would be ag-
gravated by lack of regulation.
/ While this is true, the country at
large is not much in sympathy with
Wall street methods
There is a story traditionally cur
rent among shoe dealers, that years
ago manufacturer of shoes, now de-
ceased, once begged or hired friends
and neighbors to go to the shoe stores
of a certain large city In each place
the emissary asked, DO you keep
John B. Smiths Celebrated Brogans
mo? Well / don't care to trade then.
Good day"
1t is said that some of the retailers
fell" for it, and at once ordered
Smiths Celebrated Brogans.
A man who perpetrated a silly and
transparent little advertising trick
like that would be laughed at today.
Yet how does it differ from the acts of
brokers who issue orders for matched
sales and purchases. Like Smith,
they do it to give the public a false
impression that there is a large de-
mand for a certain property, when
there is no such demand.
The stock exchange performs a use
full service to this extent, that it es-
tablishes valuations. The owner of a
share Of a property can learn pretty
closely what it is worth. Otherwise
owners would often sell far below
what a property is worth.
But Wall street is a parasite that
sucks life blood from the whole ma
ton by encouraging the gambling and
get rich quick spirit and by fake
manipulations of stocks. Why does
not Wall street need strict regulation
fjust as much as the railroads?

II further congressional regulation
OF interstate liquor shipments is de-
sired beyond the criminal code provi-
.sions with respect to marking the kind
and quantity of liquor and the name of
the consignee on the package, it would
appear preferable TO have the reguSs
tiou contained in an act of congress
which would furnish national rule
and not to subject foreign and inter
state shipments Of liquor to as many
different Interstate regulations as
there are states in the Union Wash

THE CAT CONGRESS AND CATS.
TIL announcement that Cat Con
s is Is held during January
II washington Will be received with
aried emotions
Tie position ol Kitty i'm modern so
cety las been under attack of late
from many humanitarian people The
complaint is that cats destroy a great
mary birds, many more than is com
monty supposed
The holding of a eat Congress may
seem to such persons an unworthy
dignifying of an animal whom they
feel to be hostile to peace and har-
mouy in the family of lower animals
TO this it might be said that if all
friends Of cats would attach tinkling
bell during the months when young
birds are learning to fly, this charge
against poor Tabby could not be made
There may be other persons. who,
While not hostile to the cat for such
reasons, yet would regard the cat as
too in conspicuous an animal to be
dignifed by the holding of a congress.
They will ask why grown men and
women should hire a hall, travel dis
tances to transport their feline thor
oughbreds spend valuable time and
money on an animal that produces
neither food nor drink.
Anyone who has read in Rudyard
hiplin's Just So" stories, of the Cat
who walked by its wild alone, waving
it's wild TAIL" must admit the justice
of his feeling that the cat is crea-
ture having a very aristocratic dignity
of its own.
Not merely is the cat a creature OF
singular beauty, graceful in every mo-
{ ton. Not merely does she have a
hereditary function in the family as a
destroyer of vermine More than that
she has a certain selfcontained inde-
pendence that gives interest to her
character She is attached more to
places than people, she holds herself
in reserve, she has her own deter.
mined will, she never gives herself to
human beings in the affectionate
transports manifested by the dog.
Meekly as Kitty sits purring by the
fireside, she has certain very dis
tinctive and self-contained personality
of her own, calmly Independent of hu-
man comings and goings if her simple
wants. are supplied.
This self-sufficient reserve attracts
an interest you cannot feel in the dog
who follows every passerby who
whistles at him Well may fine type
of cats then be bred, and displayed at
Cat Congresses, and perhaps under
sue htraining the predatory instincts
of common mongrel types could be
eliminated
