The Noble LIE.

True worth Is in being. not seemings
In doing each day that goes by
Some rttle good. not in the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
For, whatever men say In blindness
And spite of the fancies Of youth.
There's nothing so kingly as kindness
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure:
We cannot do wrong and feel right
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure.
Eor justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing OF the sparrow.
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that Is narrow
And straight for the children Of men.

once. And if the matter must be
Submitted to arbitration the United
States must keep weather eye out
to see that she gets an impartial
arbitration board Mr.. Grey does not
suggest the personnel of that board,
and it is difficult to see just how
board could be assembled. Not a
civilized country on the globe but
has vital interest in this canal. 1t
is a safe proposition that If the
British government finds discrimina-
ton against it in the exemption OF
American coastwise commerce, so
does every maritime nation on the
globe. Then whence will come Our
arbitration board? The inland coun-
tries are few, and some of them we
would be reluctant to accept as arbi-
tiers.
President Taft has declared him
self in favor of arbitration. 81 am
willing, and indeed I would be
ashamed not to be wiling he said,
ito arbitrate any question with Great
Britain in the construction of treaty
when we reach the exact issue which
there is between the two nations.
There need not be any public doubt
or that subject so far as this admin
istration is concerned. When there
is a difference that cannot be recon
c;led by international negotiation and
adjustment then we are entirely will
ing to submit it to an impartial tri-
bunal"
Congress is divided on the ques-
ton. Senator Bacon in a statement
based on President Taft's announce
ment suggested that the United
States, if it submitted to arbitration,
could properly ask for a special tri-
bunal so constituted as to insure us
impartial judgment Senator Burton
said he did not see how we could
honorably refuse arbitration, such
course being the supreme test of our
faith in arbitration. Senator Towns

don the Monroe doctrine as to sub

ton of the canal legislation Others

As the time approaches for the
opening up of the Panama Canal the
question of exemption of coastwise
vessels from canal tolls is becoming
more and more matter OF aglta-
ton. The British government, rely
ing upon what it considers its treaty
rights, is making strong protest
against such exemption, and there
are statesmen in this country who
recognize and support her claim to
a hearing in this particular
In an official letter to this govern
ment by Sir Edward Grey, British
minister of foreign affairs, the posi-
ton of the English government is
clearly and courteously set forth. The
document is written manifestly in a
friendly spirit, yet contains the en-
tire spirit of England's objections to
the Panama Act. Mr.. Grey claims
that the Clayton Bulwer treaty Of
1850 was an agreement between Great
Britain and the United States that
neither of them would independently
build or operate the Panama Canal;
that Great Britain agreed to the sub
stitution of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
for the Clayton Bulwer treaty on the
distinct understanding that the ships
OF all nations, including the United
States. should be treated on equal
terms; that the exemption of Ameri-
can coastwise vessels from tolls is
not treating all nations on equal
terms, because it makes other ma
tons pay more than their share of
the expense of operating the canal,
and because he fears that under the
guise of coastwise traffic the United
States ship owners will endeavor to
carry on foreign commerce. If the
Congress of the United States de-
cdes not to repeal the section adj
hitting American coastwise vessels
t. the canal free, he urgently ex-
presses the hope that the question
may be submitted to arbitration.
The exemption OF legitimate coast
wise trade from canal tolls is no
discrimination against foreign COM
merce. If there is the slightest dan
ger of American foreign commerce
masquerading under the guise OF
coastwise commerce our own Con-
gress should look to the matter at

Investigating the Money Trust
Men

lead to reforms that will materially
remedy the conditions that are caus-
ing increasingly greater unrest each
year. There is undoubtedly money
trust, and Wall Street is its instru-
ment. Naturally the stock exchange
comes in here for its share OF de-
nunciation. For this instrument OF
high financiering is responsible for
all initiation in the price of commodi-
ties that amounts to several hundred
per cent. 1t is no more nor less
than a gambling institution compared
with which the Louisiana lottery was
clean and white. The New York
World concisely states the truth
about the Stock Exchange when it
says There are three monumental
facts relating to the Stock Exchange
that ought not to be fact sixty days
from now. These are, first, it is not
incorporated; second, it is permitted
by law to practice usury; third, it is
the only place in New York where
gambling contracts are enforcible by
law"
If the Investigations will so rouse
the people that they will demand
closing of the Stock Exchange ex-
cept for legitimate purposes and UNI
der government control it will be a
matter of less Importance whether
OF not there exists money trust.
It is within the power ofa Congress
to abolish the Stock Exchange just
as it did the Louisiana lottery.

Despite the assertions of Mr. J.
Pierpont Morgan to the contrary,
the American people will be slow to
believe that there does not now ex
list something in this country which,
it it is not in reality a money trust,
is at least an alarmingly strong or
ganization that has within its power
the control of the money of the en-
tire country. The recent investiga-
tons into the so-called money trust
have revealed several potent facts,
and in addition have been remark
ably free from sensationalism. 1t is
a significant condition of affairs that
makes possible the control by group
of rs or 80 men sum OF money
equal to rs times the national debt,
Yet such condition exists, and
MIR. Morgan and his coterie OF imam
ciers actually have at their command
S25, 900 100000 through a system OF
banks established upon their own
personal regulations for honesty and
fair dealing.
It is safe to say that the peer OF
all financiers of today is Mr., Morgan.
Ii his testimony before the congress
sional committee Mr.. Morgan very
frankly admitted his power to make
or break men by granting or retus-
ing loans at critical times. He also
admitted the system of interlocking

institutions of the country, thus Civ
ing the power of control to the small
coterie of men. Yet Mr.. Morgan de-
clared emphatically that money
trust does not exist and is matter
impossible of realization Yet the
man who, with his associates, can
control rs times as much money as
the national debt comes about as
near being at the head of great
money trust as one cares to see.
A few of the papers of the coun-
try have taken Mr.. Morgan's word
for it and agree that there is not a
money trust. But here comes man
who has been crushed by it and states
that there is; here comes another
who says he can prove that the panic
of 1907 was caused by it, being moth
ing else than a manufactured panic
to further the interests of the
moneyed men The New York Globe
says: only in restricted and
qualified sense can there be such a
thing as a money trust A group at
a particular time may gain control
of the machinery of credit and ap-
pear to be able to dictate in an arbi-
trary way who may borrow. But
the process cannot go far without
inviting self -destruction. In the first
place, speaking generally, the control
over funds of particular institutions
is revocable at the will of millions
of depositors.' This seems to be

Part of Boom Containing 20OOOOO0 Feet Logs at North Yakima Washington

The plant of the Cascade Lum-
Der Company at North Yakima.
with a capacity of 100000 feet of
lumber a day, gives an idea of the
extent of the timber resources in
the Yakima country. Here logs
of mighty proportions lie huddled
together in the pond awaiting the
,uzz of the saw that will turn them
into building material that will
find its way to all parts OF the
United States. The scene is typi-
cal of the great industry that is
as yet in it's infancy throughout
the great states of the Pacific
Northwest The conservation pol
icy of the government has not
halted the rapid inroads into the
virgin forests Of the West, and
vet the amount that has been cut
is as nothing to that which still
remains to claim the axe OF the
woodsman. With the building up
of the agricultural industries and
the rapid growth of cities in the
Rocky Mountain section, the de-
mands upon the forests are yearly
increasing-demands that are aug
mented by the rapidly disappear
ing of the forests in other parts
of the country. The Middle West
is now almost without forest,
while the South and East have
taxed their sawmills to the limit
to keep up with the rapid develop
ment in building. Yet the forests
of the West are scarcely touched.

A smile of cynicism has come from
England over the statement OF Mr..
Morgan One broker high in the
financial affairs of London states
that he likes to see man show that
he has the means and the ability to
carry out his schemes before he loans
him money. He voices the sentiment
among bankers on the other side Of
the water to the effect that man s
personal character will not go far
toward the securing of money unless
he can show something else besides.
This statement was evnced by the
testimony of Mr. Morgan that he
had once loaned a penniless man
ST 100000 because he believed in his
personal integrity While it is I'M
doubtedly true that the moral risk
is taken into consideration in the
making of loans, the public in gen
eral we'll knows that many an honest
