MR. MUNSEY’S POLITICAL
HOLDING COMPANY.
Who but Frank A. Munsey—
or maybe (leorge W. Perkins—
could have conceived the emin
ently Armagedndnish scheme of
reuniting the Republican and
Progressive parlies by “a holding
party” to take the two organiza
tions over, ”as a holding compa
ny in the business world takes
over and amalgamates competing
concerns?”
The Republican party used to
he in the hands of a holding com
pany, with Theodore Roosevelt as
a voting trust. In those days
battling for the Lord was “a per
fectly corking time,” and the en
-emy at Armageddon was "slugged
over the ropes” and “beaten In
a frazzle.”
Then came a day when the I alt
administration, following the rule
of reason laid down by the Su
preme Court in the Standard Oil
case, undertook to abolish the
voting trust and dissolve the
holding company. The Colonel
promptly grabbed all the assets
that he could lay his hands on
and organized a competing party
which manufactured and sold the
same old stand-pat goods under
a new name. Moth concerns are
now in a bad way, and it is not
surprising that Brother Munsey
looks back regretfully to the days
of the old political trust. But we
fear he is too late.
As Mr. Morgan once felicit- '
ously remarked, with the consent j
and approval <>f the Colonel him- J
self, "You can’t unscramble j
eggs." _ j
WHY NOT BAR REYES, TOO?
— j
When Ceii. Hafael Reyes, ex- j
president of Colombia, arrives J
here next week on a transatlan- |
tic liner, will he be permitted to
land? Should he not be barred
from admission to the United
States like Cipriano Castro, ex
president of Venezuela?
Gen. Reyes has talked pretty
plainly about the way the Pan
ama revolution was put through
in f!)03 with help from Wash
ington. He is still bent on mak
ing trouble. He is seeking to have
the Panama matter submitted to
The Hague tribunal. He claims
that Colombia should be indem
nified for the loss of the Isthmus.
secretary oi maie ivnux Knows
how annoying Gen. Reyes’ altitude
has been. Mr. Knox was attor
ney general when I lie Panama
transaction was-carried through
and when Gen. Reyes was sent to
Washington as a special envoy
to protest in Colombia’s name.
Gen. Reyes was not satisfied, like
Castro, to bother merely an As
phalt Trust; he bothered the Un
ited States government and pro
poses to keep it up.
Ought not Gen. Reyes to be met
down the bay by a parly of im
migration officials, under orders
from Washington, in the hope of
finding that he suffers from weak
eyes? .Ought he not be detained
at Ellis Island anyhow, because
he persists in pressing Colom
bia’s claims? Does Secretary
Knox approve of him?
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Admiral Dewey bequeaths to
mankind the advice to abjure ban
quets ami keep the corkscrew

A Lisbon cable says Portugal is
facing a cabinet crisis. Portugal
has nothing on Woodrow Wilson,
at that.
Weather reports from all over
the country indicate that the op
en winter has become- a closed
incident.
A St. Louis man has made
$61,000 as. a rag picker. None
have ever reached (hat mark as
rag chewers.
The army authorities now pro
pose to adopt an automatic rifle.
The batting average will be con
siderably reduced.
The new governor of Missouri,
though only a major, don’t pro
pose that the host of Kentucky
colonels should outrank him.
Ninety-live persons were killed
last year climbing the Alps. The
Swiss mountains are about as
deadly as a flock of automobiles.
Candidates for federal office are
beginning to trace their way
Washing!onwards in the hope of
being on the ground when the pie
is llrst cut.
The Turkish jingoes evidently
have the upper hand in Constan
tinople, but it is safe to say that
none of them will be found dead
id I he front.
A Washington dispatch says
that conditions in Mexico are
growing better. The news man
must be referring to the outbreak
of Mt. Colima.
The Peruvian aviator who suc
ceeded in flying over the Alps has
shown his European brethren that
the Alps are but foothills by tin? j
side of the Andes.

whence he came, and we do not
bear the Windy city any grudge,

Joseph W. Bailey says there is
no honor in being a United States
senator. Let us see, we believe
the honor part was dropped about
the time such men as Bailey

It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in th» growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
