There is new form of social
brigandage in town. 1t has resulted
in hostesses In the upper circles
adopting rigid rule that guests
especially young men coming alone
shall show their invitations at the
doors of private houses, just as they
might hand over tickets at the door
of a theater.
1t was found that many youths on
the fringe of society had made a
practice OF attending receptions and
dancing parties to which they had
not been invited. It is said upon
the authority of man prominent in
society that a recent large affair in

THE PAN-ANERIcAN MOVEMENT
(Boston Herald.)

(Boston Herald9
 The importance of the recent Pan-American con- ference In Washington cannot be overestImated The visits to us such as we have witnessed at Washing ton for several years bear evidence of the excellent results of the Pan-Amercan movement, with splendid headquarters n tLat city and fine publications bring ing intimate touch by text and illustration with American countries south and southeast of
 It is we'll that we have at Washington the noble palace of the 21 states of the PanAmercan union No. where In our country has there been investment of million and quarter dollars In ground and building to beter purpose toward the good country than in these grounds and this edifce. It is doubtful if among the hundreds of millions devoted by the richest of our people to many noble purposes there will be found any million or even any millions, doing bet ter service for our country large and for neghborng countries than this investment and the activities 1t shelters.
 Several of the great states Of South America rop- resented in this union have of late years by their rapid growth in production of world necessities; by their ad vance in educaton by their increased facilities for muncaton by rail and by river by their building of fine cities. and among these of the grandest of the world and by many other advances taught us that the closer we come into touch with them the better for our knowledge of the world and for material interests in manufacturers in commerce. Many DOT tions of our country have experienced of these benefits. and among them the Ohio Valley has had share.
 We have had of late years much interesting and valuable advice upon the methods for further motion of our business relations with LatlnAmerican countries Such advice from men who have lived in those countries should be needed and followed If we are to advance in those relations. Some travellers and some persons resident those countries have told truths we should take in earnest. We shall not be too old to learn about Central and South American ways for a long time to come. And Is the time when European countries are losing their grip to some extent to take hold down there.
 Those industries of our country deep in the labor and profit of producing for killing in some portions of the world should not neglect opportunities of the present and prospects of the future In those Lat n-Amercan countries that are daily coming into closer communion with us; those peoples to whom the Monroe Doctrine Is becoming note of cheerful confidence in stead Of something merely amorphous here vaguely sinister there Some day may have the vessels to carry our goods to them Pending that let increase our relations with them with their languages and their methods The closer the tie that shall unite us the better for mutual protection against possibilities of for egn aggression and the better all around for profitable exchange of goods.

 An American loses his citizenship if he takes an oath of allegiance to foreign state ruler. Americans who wish to Join the Canadian English army are re- minded by the Springfield Republican that the oath of allegiance to King George which be taken as one of the conditions of enlistment creates the forfeiture of American citizenship and that such return ing to America after the war may find themselves often challenged in matters of law pertaining to personal and political rights"
 majority of Americans who enlist in foreign ar mics do not do so because of deepseaed convictions of the rghtness of the cause with which they cast their lot. but because of mere love adventure The "sol- dIer of fortune"-to employ term often applied but mlsapplied to young men who prvaes in Eur opean armies without the slightest opportunity for any considerable reward and for pay which could attract no American laborer-probaby thinks little about his rights of citizenship.

DEMOCRAT WAS CERTAIN
 TO GET THE PLACE ON
 SUPREME COURT BENCH

Following the appointment of MT. Brandeis to the Supreme Bench the following will be read with much in- terest:
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 1O.-President Wilson and Attorney General Gregory have begun considering candidates for the vacancy of the United States su- preme Court by the death of Justice Lamar. They conferred for more than an hour going over the long list of men suggested for the place and elim- mating many names. Afterward the Attorney General said no decision had been reached and that the field was still open.
 A Democrat is almost certain to be selected. Officials said that enough Democrats of Supreme Court timber had been suggested practically to elim mate the possibility of Republican being appointed. A majority of the present members of the court are Re publicans.
 Former President Taft has been suggested for the vacancy in messag- es received at the White House from many parts of the country. There Is no chance.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S TOUR

In his swing around tho circle. President Wilson seems to have met with enthusiastic reception wherever he has spoken. His addresses have been to the point and the issues Of preparedness for national defense has been squarely presented. In his speech nj Pittsburs President Wilson said referring to the
 war in Europe that the struggle had lasted year and
 haf and that the end Is not yet. and he added thai che situation which the United States is facing and which 1t bas faced for the past eighteen months Is daily becoming more difficult to govern No doubt this is true It is also that the delcacy of the various
 situations that have arisen are fully appreciated by the Administration if not by all of the people of this Ma ,on As whole 1t must be said that the temper dis played by our people has been most excellent They have known in general way that the problems grow Ing ou, of the war have been most trying and compl- cated to our goyernment and the people have plainly indicated both by words and deeds that they have confidence In the Government and that the honor Of the country will not suffer its hands or by reason of its acts
 It may be gathered from the of some of the Presidents statements that rupture with some of the beligerent European nations may come at almost any moment Diplomatic situations may change in a day or an hour: but we may feel sure that while our gov ernment stands for peace and while everything that Is possible will be done to preserve the peace status and the countrys neutrality. situation might easily de- velop that would demand an immediate change of policy We may hope for the best So far, the storm has been safely weathered. and the wisdom that has directed the Government through the various crises that have arisen may be depended upon to guide the nation safely through the troubled waters that are yet no doubt to be encountered.

rHE PANAMA CANAL

The report of General Goethals Governor of the Panama Canal Zone. covering the fiscal year ended June so 1915 has been issued It Is record of the apo,heosis of greet achievement It is materalism turned into romance It is record of dream, enlarged and given material obectivty. Is pen picture Of perhaps the greatest engineering feat that was ever carried out anywhere on earth and in all the history Of the world It sets American genius ahead of the genius of all other nations and countries Not only was Che undertaking most ambitious and difficult. but one of the richest nations in the world had attempted n and failed At hone 1t was opposed by strong in' nuonces which delayed the work for period of fifty three years and which have done all within their power to embar-ass and comIcate 1t since the work was be- gun Nature had to bs subdued, and nature was firm as adamant in some places and insuectonary and in- tolerant of subugatoD In others. Patience and per sstence were necessary because the task one of building and spelling and building and spelling again Great losses were sustained great setbacks were en- countered and only udomitable will at the head oi hs enterprise could have brought 1t to as near sue cessful conclusion as 1t now finds itself
 The canal is not yet completed. and 1t may take some time to put it In permanent working order yet there are those who are doubting Thomases and who predict disaster for the enterprise But what has been already accomplished is sufficient guaranty that what is necessary to complete the work will be done Nature has been challenged and defeated when at her great est strength and in her most angry mood She may re turn to tho combat from time to time but each time she will be weaker until finally she must. surrender absolutely to American courage and genius.

TO PROSECUTE RAILROAD WORK

Congress has passed the bill carrying an emergency appropriation of two million dollars for continuing the work on the Government railroad. It is understood that part of this amount will be used, during the present winter. on such work be prottaby done on the railroad. between Seward and Kern Creek This will be mostly in the nature of rock work. which it is claimed can be best prosecuted during the winter sea- son. Apart from this the granting of the appropra- ton by Congress indicates that the Administration is anxious to push the construction work as fast as 1t can be done with regard to seasonal cost It be- comes more and more apparent too that the Government is anxious to reach the Matanuska coal fields. in order that supply of coal will be. at all times. accessible and available for naval and other purposes.
 The proposed increase of the navy means that a much larger number of warshIps will be stationed on the Pacific coast and in Pacific waters and 1t Is the evident intention of the Government to prepare for the future and what 1t may bring by controlling Derma ueat coal supply on the Pacific Coast

treated.

(New Orleans Picayune.)
 At the outset 1t became clear that the national ad minstration would not favor the issue of bonds as means of raising the extraordinary required for improving national defense Since then the plans for taxation which have been announced have emphasized the official aversion for bonds
 Now, however, comes the news that the draft of the new ship purchase bill, which has just been com pleed provides that the Secretary of the Treasury be authorized to issue s5OOoOOOO of Panama Canal bonds in order to pay for the vessels the government is ex pected to acquire.
 The question naturally arises: Why this d'stinc ton between bonds for merchant ships and bonds for warsnips?" If there is any principle involved which renders the plan bad as regards the class of yes sells it would seem as if the same principle would make it mpolitic in the other To the average man the idea of raising an extra hundred million dollars for na' val expenditures by authorizing the sale of Panama Can al bonds seems at least as good business as raising half the amount in the way to enable the govern ment to go into the shipping l.ne
 What is more. the opposition which the admins tration plan for raising large by special taxation has excited and in particular, the danger to the pre- paredness program which this opposition may create suggest an additional why 1t might have been better for the administration to take the bondreyenue route in the first instance
