ending They few who did not enter
heartily into the work are not to be
blamed, because none of the mer
chants could foresee the importance
of the undertaking and neither could
they appreciate how it could be work,

hearty accord with what was done,

Demand for Permanency.
Another very pleasing result is the
fact that there is a general demand
that the Mardi Gras of southern Ok
lahoma be made permanent institu-
lion of the city. Manufacturers of
automobiles and of motor machinery
of all kinds will take more lively
interest next year. The merchants
of the city will put on their deco
rated floats another year. and every
progressive business man will have
his business represented in the par
ade. 1t is easy to understand now
how the line of parade will be three
times as long next year.

Bishop William Cabell Browns Con-

NEW YORK, May 11.-When the Rt.
Rev. William Cabell Brown. bishop CO.
adjutor of Virginia. accepted member
ship on the continuation committee ap-
pointed at the Panama Congress on
Christian Work in Latin America last
January he did SO merely as an indi-
vidual and not as a representative Of
the board of domestic and foreign mis-
'sions of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. according to a resolution
adopted at the quarterly meeting of
the board here yesterday.
Discussion of Bishop Browns mem
bership on the committee resulted from
the reading Of a letter from him, in
which he said his appointment proba-
bly, was due to his twenty-four years
Of service in Brazil. which might make
his advice helpful in carrying on the
committees work. The bishop pledged
himself under no circumstances to COM
nit his church to any course of action
without it's authorization. He expressed
the belief that the congress did not
compromise the Episcopal Church in
any reSpect.

Key West to Havana, on a ticket pur-
chased. by Lieut. Commander E. c.
Kalbfus, L. s. n. the question was put
up to the controller of the Treasury
whether the government or the trav-
eler must pay it, when the travel
charge is a government obligation.
But the ruling of the commissioner Of
internal revenue puts light on what
seemed a dark subject. He has decid-
ed that the war revenue tax is not to
be charged against agents Of the gov
ernment travelling on official business
Acting Controller Charles Marshall
Force cites this ruling, and proposes
that the steamer line refund the money
and make claim against the internal
revenue bureau.

Washington Monument and the new
Lincoln Memorial. The order for the
removal of the fence was first made in
1899, but its execution was prevented
largely, at least II is understood,
through the influence of the late VIII
liam K. Smith. In 1911 the sundry civil

the fence and appropriated the sum of
