Representative J. Hampton Moore
introduced a resolution providing
that the secretary of state shall con
fer with representatives of Great
Britain and other European powers
interested in the Panama canal with
a view of formulating an agreement
wherebv thoRo rknf.c i.n i
with the United States a share In the
cost of construction and maintenance
of the canal. With such an under
standing, Moore insists, fortifica
tions would be unnecessary and all
controversies over treaties would be
obviated. Mr. Moore also intro
duced n bill providing for a commis
sion to study trade conditions with
Latin America with regard to tho
effect of opening of the Panama
canal. Another measure incident to
the Panama canal presented by Mr.
Moore provides for the repeal of tho

ernment act, which permits the free
admission of goods used in the con
struction or furnishing of American
ships.

HONOR TO MR. BRYAN
"It seemed odd to read that the
American ambassador at Rome had
offered the embassy as a place for
funeral services over Mr. Morgan's
body, 'hv rlfrnotlon nf Cnnnfn...r C
State William J. Bryan.' "Spring
field Republican.
, It did not seem odd to us. In the
oyes of the worldt Mr. Morgan loomed
larS as the first .citizen of the re
public. At home, as the multitude
of testimonials clearly prove, his
character was held in highest esteem.
Practically all of the rulers of Europ,
including the prime minister of Great
Britain, the king of Italy, the tsar of
Russia, and His Holiness the Pope,
paid fitting tribute. The emperor
of Germany sent a floral wreath to
Rome and this message to Mrs. Mor
gan: "Accept the expression of my sh
eerest sympathy in your great be
reavement. Your "husband's death is
a loss not only for you; your family,
and your country, but his many
trlends in all parts of the world will

Would it not have seemed strango
to foreign' peoples, who are accus
tomed to civilities In death as In life,
if no word of appreciation had como
irom the government of Mr. Mor
gan s own country? Mr. Bryan's
official act and personal 'words wore
those of a generous and truly repre
sentative American gentleman.
