Many People are afraid to buy pic

days before mouldings were made so
good and cheaply by machinery, there
may have been reasons for this.

Master Of the Situation.


From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The opponents Of canal legislation in Con-
gress find a new reason for delay in the
construction of an isthmian canal in the
changed attitude of the governments of
Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Colombia. The
theory was advanced two years ago that 1t
would be advantageous to the United States
to hold the question open as long as posi-
bic with a view to securing better terms
from either Colombia or Nicaragua.
1t was claimed that II Congress passed
bill to construct a canal on the Nicaragua
route, Nicaragua and Costa Rica would be
given an opportunity to drive a hard bar
gain with the United States. but that IL the
question was left open. and negotiations
were entered into with Colombia as well as
Nicaragua. each country would be bidding
against the other and would be inclined to
make better terms.
This theory was advanced in the interest
OF delay. The terms on which the United
States will construct an isthmian canal
have been clearly stated. Neither Colombia
nor Nicaragua has made any pretense of
misunderstanding the stipulations for
all the negotiations with the two govern
ments have been conducted with an Ameri-
can canal under American control in mind.
The only question, then. left open for set
tlement is the price to be paid for the strip
of territory necessary for the canal. This
can be fixed as definitely now as at any
later date. There may be influences at work
in Central America unfarorable to the
United States. but they cannot change the
situation. The whole case is in the hands
of Congress- and it may dispose Of this new
excuse for delay by deciding upon a route
and by declaring conditions upon which tne
canal will be constructed.
The United States is master of the situa-
tion We are not begging favors, but con-
ferring them. We are not accepting terms
but making them. If our terms are not ac-
cepted there will be no canal.

Journalism and Politics in Greece.

William L. Curtis In the Chicago Record Herald.
Athens has more than her share of news
papers dailies, weeklies and those of oc-
casional publica ton, which are not intended
for news purposes, but to express the opin-
ions of the different owners or editors upon
public affairs. Even these are not sufficient,
and the politicians and the editors visit
the cafes every evening and often in the
afternoon. for the purpose of announcing
their views to whomsoever 1t may concern.
Coffee houses have taken the place of the
ancient forums, and one Of the largest in
Athens Is called Public Opinion Coffee
House." Instead OF referring to a man as
demagogue or pothouse politician over
here they call him a coffee-house politi-
clan. and nowhere in the country Is there
such an abundance of oratorical talent and
public sentiment as In these institutions.
They are the resort of would-be leaders
who cannot afford to maintain newspapers
and are reduced to the necessity of COM
municating their thoughts by word CT
mouth.
The newspapers contain very little news
a few brief kilograms from London, Paris,
Berlin, Vienna and ConStantfnople, relating
to the most important events Of the day; a
report of the proceedings of parliament, a
review Of the decisions Of the courts a few
paragraphs of local news. personal items
concerning the royal family and prominent
citizens half column Of market quota
tions, an instailment Of q continued story
and a few miscellaneous items clipped from
other European newspapers. The remain
der OF the sheet Is filled with editorials
and communications upon political topics,
which are discussed with the greatest free
DOM for in Greece the liberty of the press
is not abridged Both editors and corre-
spondents seem to feel as much at liberty
as in the United States to criticise and
condemn the policy of the government, the
extravaganza OF the officials, the ineff-
cheney of the army, the corruption of par

public men.

that American firms make a mistake in
giving an agency for American goods for
Portuguese East Africa. to a Natal house.
Consul Hollis cites a recent instance of
this character in the sale of typewriters
which is a serious detriment to the trade.
The consul suggests that American agents
be appointed for all articles that 1t is de-
