The Week

February 17, 1910 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents news on various political developments. Few members or ex-members of the U.S. Senate would command more attention on a great Constitutional question than ex-Senator John C. Spooner, and his emphatic assertion that the proposed Federal corporation law would be a radical violation of the Constitution has, therefore, unusual interest. President William Howard Taft's speech on Saturday night was amazingly frank in its veterences to the party situation and outlook. The U.S. Treasury has long boasted that it was "thief-proof," but recently its authorities had to confess that a small sum of currency had been stolen from them.
