Operation of the Canal.

The Panama canal commission has
ample authority to proceed with the oper-
alton of the canal. That preparations
have been made for it to inaugurate the
use of the water course is made clear on
the authority of the Secretary of War.
The failure to appoint Col. Goetha's as
civil governor of the Canal Zone, in an
ticipation OF the opening OF the canal
and the necs ssity for plan OF operation.
has provoked comment n unofncial cir
Giles. 1t has even been minated that.
in falling to put into effect the program
made by Congress for the future aamn-
istration Of the canal, the Wilson adj
ministration has entirely lost sight CT
the necessity, and that its failure to act
is apt to cause unnecessary delay IN
opening the canal to commerce.
No such eventuahty is possible in the
opinion of Secretary Garrison of the War
Department The operation OF the cana'
will be amply taken care of by the pres
ent administration of the Canal Zone,
with not the slightest difficulty or inn
pediment to intervene. There is every
confidence in the ability of the military
engineers to deal with the situation as
well as they have done with every mat
ter that has SO far been offered for their
solution. There is the further desire to
give them the honor TO put into operation
the great work that they have construct
ed and also a confidence that they are
as competent as any substitute organiza-
ton to inaugurate the work.

Memorial Day And The Grand
Army OF The Republic
BY E. S. REED

That Memorial Day loses none of
its significance is truism, but
those who instituted it and still pro-
mote it for it's designed purpose are
a vanishing host. Few and feeble
the lettering remnants fall slowly
into depleted ranks at every annual
muster. A few years more and the
grisled veterans will no more be
seen in the parade behind the flag
on Decoration Day. The last Grand
Army Post will become extinct for
lack of membership. The question
is often raised, How will this pa
thetic realization affect the charac-
ter of this annual holiday? Will
Memorial Day perish with the ex-
tinction of the Posts?"
The membership of the Posts con-
sists exclusively of the soldiers of
the Civil War. 1t can never consist
of any other class of citizens. The
Sons of Veterans is society close
ly allied in sympathy and interests
to the Grand Army. The member
ship of this organization consists,
as matter of course, of the sons of
the soldiers of the Civil War, and
while the membership of the Grand
Army rapidly decreases that of the
Sons of Veterans increases more
rapidly. At the close of the war
there were two millions of veterans,
men that had served in the army
for longer or shorter time. How
many sons of thesgs Grams there
are in the country it is impossible
definitely to know but it may be
readily supposed that their number
largely exceeds the number of vet
Grams at the close of the war. These,
as their fathers fall by the way, will
join the society of the Sons of Vet

assigned to the members of the
Posts. If it shall be hereafter de-
termined that the grandsons of vet
Grams shall be eligible to member
ship of the society of the Sons of
Veterans and their sons in sue
ceeding line may be members, the
organization can be perpetuated, as
is the society of the Sons of Revo-
luton, and thus Memorial Day may
endure indefinitely.
There is no lack of latent patrio
tism to be actively displayed in the
country's emergency, as was abun-
dainty shown at the outbreak of the
Spanish-Americsn war, but of the

Always Try
To Learn
The Answer

THE small merchant who has
4 found the mail order house
competition a serious problem,
which the coming of the par
eel post threatened to make
still more serious, should seek
his remedy in the parcel post it
self. He will then speedily find
the answer to his difficulties if
he is capable of adapting his
business to meet new conditions.
While the parcel post helps the
mail order house. it will help the
small merchant still more If he
is willing to take advantage of
it. Within his zone "a circle 100
miles across, of which he is the
center) be can deliver goods at
much less transportation cost
and considerably quicker than
any concern located elsewhere.
Having gained the answer to
his problem. it remains for him
to determine the best means to
bring the buyers in this territory
In touch with the goods he has
to offer. Specific advertising
will be necessary; price lists. cat
alogues. ETC.. of standard goods
must be spread broadcast. Above
all, the merchant MUST NOT
DISAPPOINT.

the original parties according to
its terms. But if the note be not
negotiable and the man who made
it has been swindled, he may
make this defense against the per-
son to whom he gave it.
A person who intends to bind
himself by the note signs simply
his own name. But mistakes are
made by agents who do not intend
TO bind themselves, personally, but
only their principals. Do not sign
John Jones, Agent for Samuel
Smith," for that will make John
Jones personally liable: but sign
Samuel Smith, by John Jones,
Agent" A somewhat different rule
prevails in the case of public Of
ficers for one acting in public cap
acity may sign his own name as Of
ficer and bind his principals and
not himself.
The notes of corporations and
partnerships are signed by an Of
ficer or agent of the corporation or
member Of the partnership in the
name of the company. A rep1esen-
tatiYe or partner who is held
out to the world as having au-
thority to sign notes. may bind the
company even though he may have
exceeded his authority. So if you
are partner, be cautious of the
public authority that is given, really
or apparently, to a partner whom
you do not trust absolutely.
