Panama, which has established an in
dependent government under the aegis of
the United States, has seeded from Co
lombia time and time again. To men
ton just a few of the more important
dates, there are 1871, 1857 and 1868.
Sometimes for two or three years at a
time Panama has managed its own a.
fairs in its own name, without any IT,
reference from Bogota. Moreover, for
three decades prior to 1886 Panama en-
joyed full powers of local self-govern-
ment. Whether or not it considered
itself Independent, whether or not it sent
delegates to Bogota to participate in
such general government as happened to
exist, Panama was locally autonomous.
In 1886 the present constitution, with it's
centralized government, was declared in
force by a convention of delegates in
which Panama had refused to partici-
pate. Two other States joined Panama
in protesting against the new constitu-
ton as not binding upon them, but in
the course of time all of them came to
recognize it. This constitution, however,
has been suspended most of the time as a
result of the continually recurring reyo-
lutions.

While there is no disposition to pass
bill raising the salaries of Congressman,
it is growing more apparent each year
that the existing stipend is wholly made
quate, and that few men without pri-
vate fortunes will consent to remain in
public life. With every Congress not a
few useful men quietly drop out on this
account. A New England representative
used to say facetiously that there were
two classes of men, speaking from the
financial point of view, who should come
to Congress-those who were so rich that
no amount of appeal for money could
affect them adversely, and those so poor
that the worst hanger-on would not
waste his time in hunting them up. AS
this member said he belonged to neither
class, Congress was no place for him.
There was a time twenty years or more
ago when by COMMON consent this was
not the case. A Congressman could
live in reasonable comfort on his salary.
But standards of entertainment are con-
stantly rising here, as elsewhere, and few
men can afford to wholly omit social OBJ
legations

Baer viii Not Express Himself.

Philadelphia, March 23.-An effort
was made to secure an opinion from
George f. Baer on the award, but he
refused to express himself. Charles
e. Henderson, general manager of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company, said;
Mr.. Baer's sliding wage scale was
not adopted. He wanted one that
would slide down as well as up. This
appears to fix minimum of $3.50 o
ton. 1t can slide anywhere above that
figure and back again, but it can never
Slide below that point. If the coal
commission wanted to help the public
keep up the price of coal they could
not have chosen a better way"
phe operators are entirely satised
with the findings of the anthracite
strike commission. This was the con
census OF opinion obtained from repre-.
sentatives in this city of operators
in all three parts of the anthracite
region. 1t is known also that Presi
dent Baer, of the Reading railway,
who bore the brunt of the fight made
by the operators, is well satisfied, and
that before he started for Reading he
privately expressed this opinion.

Wilkesbarre, March 23.-The local
officials in and about this city were
nearly all seen with reference to the
mine commission award, but declined
to make any comment. The manner
in which they expressed themselves,
however, would indicate that they are
satisfied, or at least willing to abide
by the findings and carry out it's pro-
visions. An official of one of the larg
est corporations said the award was
a practical vindication of the coal
company; that the 10 per cent and re
duction of hours to the firemen was
practically conceded. He said that
the report and the review of the coal
mining conditions will be of great Ill.
innate good; that violence and boy.

and normal conditions would prevail

Operators and Labor Leaders
Say Findings of Commission
Are Entirely Satisfactory.
VICTORY CLAIMED BY MITCHELL
VIII Increase Wages of 10000 Min.
ers--Mr. Baer Refuses to Express
Himself, but Is Believed to Be Well
satisfied--Local Officials Pleased.

Detroit, March 23,-eThe decision
OF the commission is. on the whole,
decided victory for the miners, and
| am pleased with IL" said President
John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America 1.-The most i'm,
portant feature of the awards is, o.,
course, the increase of 10 per cent.
This will result in an annual increase
in the wages of 100000 anthracite
miners of Pennsylvania of 100000
The sliding scale is very satisfactory,
inasmuch as minimum of $3.50 pei
ton is fixed. With white ash coal at
$3.50 per ton at tidewater the increase
provided in the sliding scale will be
equivalent to 20 per cent more on the
miners wages"
President Mitchell was asked if he
was disappointed because the com
mission did not recognize the union
formally, and he replied that he was
not, because the decision of the com,
mission and its awards in themselves
recognized the power and influence OF
the United Mine Workers.
after the increase of wages given
the miners" said Mr. Mitchell, 'the
most important of the awards from
the miners standpoint are the ones
fixing nine-hour day and providing
for board of Cancellation. The
award gives nine-hour day with 10
hours pay directly to 10000 men, and
practically all the other employees Of
the anthracite region will get a nine
hour day by reason of the comrades
shorter hours. The provision for
board of Cancellation will result in
great good, and I am much pleased
with it. It will compel investigation
Of both sides Of controversy between
the miners and operators, and bring
the employers into closer relationship
with their men. This cannot help but
bring most beneficial results"

The Gregg Prize Contest te be Held

The spelling contest for the S25 prize
offered by Hon. John NJ Gregg, for the
best oral spelling, will be held at Laurel
Point, Saturday evening, April Is, 1908
The contestants will all stand in line
and will spell down by taking their
seats when they miss a word. Only
pupils Or the country schools will take
part in this contest, We hope to see
pupils from all the districts present with
their one aim to win. The offer of this
prize has stimulated oral spelling all
over the county the past winter, and has
aroused a greater interest in spelling
than has been manifested heretofore.
Mr., Gregg certainly deserves much
commentator for the reward offered,
which has proved a boon to the schools
of the entire county.
