Interoceanic railway managers

Interoceanic railway managers
and the Panama Canal promoters
are not on good terms, and no
sensible man, knowing the diver
gent interests existing between
the two, ever expected that thew
would be. This is a matter that
will play some havoc in the inn
pending Presidential campaign.
Railroad syndicates are perhaps
the biggest trusts in the country.
Mr.. Roosevelt is, to all iptents and
appearances, the next logical Re-
publican candidate of the Repub-
lican party to succeed himself.
He has been accused of "construc-
. ting" the Republic of Panama for
nothing else than the purpose of
building the canal across the con-
tinent. As it always depends
upon "whose OK is being gored"
the right Of State to secede has
been made manifest by Uncle Sam
Ia this particular instance, as Pan.
anna evidently had no more right
to cut loose from the United States
/ of Columbia than did the South
ern States in 1876. In view of
these suspicious resting on our
strenuous President" it is safe
to infer interoceanic railroad
managers will not take kindly to
his candidacy. Whether their in.
duence can be Offset by Panama
Camel influence, sugar trust and
other trust influences, remains to |
be seen.
It seems clear that there are fav-
ored trusts and some that are not
In the present ethics of National
Republican politics. 1t also seems
clear that popular enthusiasm and
clamor for the Canal must be de-
pended on to make up for that the
g. o. p, will sustain by its hos
tility to certain trusts. With b
strong antitrust platform-une-
quivocal and impartial-and good
men at the head, the Democratic
party ought to have no trouble in
! shelving success in November ,
next in view of the present ugly
,redicament of the Republicans
IN the trust question. 4

ASPIRANTs GET TOGETHER
Big Crowd at Third Ward Republican
Club Hears Opponents Views.


Nearly 500 people attended the ban
quet of the Third Ward Republican
club last evening. It was great oc-
casion for political aspirants. Guber-
Material and congressional candidates
galore held oratorical sway.
Chairman e. III. Chandler first read
letter Of regret from Governor s. R.
Van SAINT, then introduced Lieutenant
Governor Ray W. jones' He said Hen
nepin county was the pro-convention
battle ground Of the gubernatoria1
campaign. He believed the principles
Of the republican party were too well
known to be a factor: that the per-
ssonality Of each candidate was the
thing Of Importance to be weighed in
making a selection.
Frank M. Edy then made witty
speech. He outlined platform, the
important features Of which were:
Tariff which protects but does not
oppress; reciprocity which recipro-
Gates but does not harm; effective
legislation for the corporations; in
dorsement Of both senator's; oppose.
ton to all mergers, past, present and
future; equitable taxation and econ
omy Of expenditure. Inmates of Sol
diers' home to retain their full PEN
sion.
Judge Loren w. Collins spoke next.
He held that the merger issue was
still the most important plank for the
party to- stand on, and insisted the
state convention go strongly on record
against mergers, past, present and fu-
ture.

Thomas Balmer lis an Irishman by
birth, and as he was born in 1848 at
Belfast, and is Sc years old, it is a
natural error to class him in the elder
school Of advertising. He Is really Of
the young school, however, for his
advertising experience dates back no
further than 1891, when he became
the manager of the western office Of
the Curtis Publishing company.
During nine years that he repre-
sented the Ladies' Home Journal in
Chicago, it is said. the receipts Of his
office for each year were larger than
the last, despite the panic of 1898 and
Its consequent period Of depression.
In 1900 he became western adver-
Using manager for the Delineator, and
seven months ago when the position
Of advertising manager Of the Butter
lex publications was vacated, was APP
pointed to the New York office also.
Since then he has been conspicuously
aggressive in his methods, formulating
methods for inducing textile adyer-
Using, a. field hitherto almost ne
elected.
SAYS Mr.. tBalmer: advertising men
must be Investigators. Schools Of ap-
piled advertising knowledge would
teach them how to investigate. ALI
the best results Of our age have been
obtained through scientific investiga-
ton, and I have no patience with
advertising. Horse sense is a very
good thing, perhaps, but it never helps
the horse get out Of the stable when
! it takes fire. To the rule-of-thumb
! advertiser it seems obvious that two
and two make four. But they don't
necessarily. Two and two sometimes

Sound Money for Panama.

= It is announced by Mr.: Lee, United
States charge d'affaires at Panama,
that the gold standard bill, which has
ture, had encountered considerable
opposition. and that call had been
issued for a national convention to
decide upon the monetary standard. r Il
Our government is naturally anx-
ious that the new republic, in which
1t holds such valuable canal conces-
sions, shall have a stable CURRENCY,
instead of the deprecated silver pesos
and fiat paper currency, reals, con-
doris, French f1ve-franc pieces, British
sovereigns and other imported coins,
the currency being almost entirely
imported. Our minister, Mr.. Barrett,
will use his influence with the Pana-
ma authorities to reform the curren-
cy on the gold basis as soon as he
arrives in the republic.
A number of the Spanish American
republics have, In recent years,
adopted the gold standard to their
great advantage, as Brazil, Costa
Rica, Chill, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay
and Venezuela.
1t has been suggested to the Pana-
ma government that the system intro
duced in the Philippines by our gov
eminent, under the act Of March 8,
1903, would meet the needs Of the
new republic for a currency which
Will insure wages to the working peo-
pie which will not depreciate in their
hands. The law now in operation
makes the unit Of value in the Phil
tppines the gold peso Of r. 9-10 grains
OF gold, nine-tenths fine, two OF
which are equal to one dollar OF
United States coinage. Silver pesos
are authorized as legal tender, the
amount of coinage limited by the
government to the needs of business
and the redemptive power of the gold
basis.

The automobile ''scorchers'' Of Mime

The automobile "scorchers'' Of Mime
apolis are likely to do for the automo-
bilists as a whole just what they have
done in New York. where a bitter preju-
dice has been aroused, leading sometimes
to acts Of violence. The temptation to
'let her out" is no doubt very strong.
An owner Of a fine machine said the
other day that the desire to go fast grew
on the driver; that whereas five to eight
miles might seem satisfactory for speed
at first, nobody who had run machine
a month could content himself at that
creeping gait when he knew he had the
power to go twenty or thirty miles an
hour. Just the same, care must be ex-
ercised-more care than is now taken in
the streets Of the city-or somebody is
going to get badly hurt. and then SOME
severe restrictions will be imposed.
