PASSING Of KING

Says Forbes.
BY B. c. FORBES

One by one they are passing from lfe's
eVer-shifting stage, those stalwarts of
yesteryear.
Never again will J. P. Morgan bid the
raging waves OF a financial panic be still.
Mr.. Morgan's day as dictator of AmAr-
lean finance is over according to ali signs
ana reports. He has, somewhat sudden-
~, entered the eventide of his life Peo-
PIE nae become so accustomed to looking
upon MT Morgan as fixture as the CEN

United States it is taken for granted

1inancial ship. The best that is hoped for
IS that he will be able to return to his
native land and enjoy a long period as
president emeritus of financial America.
Mr.. Morgan's breakdown is regretted
In financial circles-even by those classed
as among his rivals. There may be need
for a vigorous, active, domineering Nor
gan before another rises to take his
place. Indeed, unless the air clarifies

They are eXtricating themselves from debt
wherever possible. They are refusing to
buy stocks. They profess to see no day
light ahead. They are manifesting
nerves rather than nerve"
Matters are not helped by the re-
moVal from the scene Of J. p Morgan
for he has been looked upon as a rock
that could not be shaken as a sure de-
fense against any storms that could arise
Mr.. Morgan, it is currently remarked,
can have no successor. This is true
yet not true in every sense. He will
have several successors-minor ones, of
course-yet men of great power and
force, men acknowledged by their fellows
as the natural leaders of tomorrow.
There is Henry p Dawson, who is Nor
gan pro TEN, so to speak Dawson has
done more at his age than Morgan had
done at the same stage. And he has done
it without the aid of inherited wealth
or station, but through sheer ability en-
ergy and daring. Whether he has always
acted wisely is not now the point under
consideration.

Hitchcock HEARS Of
BU2LESON'S CHARGES

Silver City, Mexico, June 3.--On ar
rivlng here from the Mogollon noun
tains, where he has been spending
some weeks, former Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock was SHOWN for the
first time the statement issued a few
days ago by Postmaster General Brle-
son attacking his administration of
the postoftice department. Hitchcock
issued statement saying in part:
The committee composed in main OF
newly appointed assistants, having
less than three months experience in
postoffice business, attempts in its re-
port to the present head of the de-
partment to discredit the financial
showing made by the postal service
under Taft's administration. Their
statement is as inaccurate as it is
gratuitous, for the public well knows
that there never was any postal SER
wee conducted more efficiently, or
mail handled with greater precision or
dispatch than in the closing years OF
the Taft administration"
The statement continues to name
some of the details of accomplishment
under the Taft administration show
Ing growth and efficiency.

very considerate of the wishes Of the
business and travelling men of Bis
marck in making suitable arrange
ments for handling the passenger traf-

other promises have been made to
still better conditions. There are
still some things to be adjusted which
will be taken up with the officials and
Judging by past experience the road
will take good care of Bismarck and
its interests.
The secretary was instructed to call
the attention OF the city commission
to the condition Of certain vacant lots
in the down town district and request
the city officials to have them cleaned
up, so that the city will make a good
appearance during the time of the
numerous conventions to be here this
month.
1t was arranged to have the first
Market Day OF the season held on
Saturday, June 21st, and to have a
series held during the summer, as in

there will be number of new fea-

SOCIAL LOBBYING
JUS1IFIES WILSON

Washington, June 3.-"Social lobby
ing in Washington justlfies every
word that President Wilson uttered
In regard to the presence OF 'insid-
,ious' lobby at the capitol, Senator
Kenyon, Of Iowa, q declared Oil the Wit
ness stand before the senate lnves,i-
eating committee
1t was the first unequivocal state
ment in support of the presidents at
titude since the inquiry began. 1t
was, he believed, the most 'insldious"
ami powerful lobby possible that was
in the practice OF flattering senators
by having them out to dinners, to
theatres and automobile rides, ingra-
tiating the hosts with distinguished
guests.
Pointing to the sworn testimony Of
Edward Hines, lumber king be-
fore the Lorimer election, that he had
entertained senators at a local hotel.
had taken them to dinners at time
when the lumber schedule in the
Payne-Aldrch bill was before the sen.
ate, Kenyon declared it was his belief
senators were being entertained in
this "insidious" way at present. He
also denounced ex-sena.ors for capt.
allzing their privilege of the floor by
using it to lobby. ...
Senator Hughes, OF New Jersey, and
Senator James, of Kentucky, told the
investigators for the first time of the
trials and tribulations Of the major
ity of the memoirs of the finance
committee with the many persons who
had flockeil to Washington to present
their views. Neither knew of any
attempts to corrupt, but both suggest.
ed they could have done better work
if they were bothered less.
These senator's, as di dLaFollette,
who followed them on the stand, sug-
gested legislation for the registration
of lobbyists would be good thing.
Several senators let it be known that
they received what purported to be
a reproduction OF the letter from the
American cane growers association OF
the United States sent to members
asking contributions to the fund for
the use OF large committee in
Washington" The letter will probab.
ly be read before the hearing is con-
cluded.
