climate upon them and their efficiency,
gives it is his opinion that the little Japs
are better adapted to this work than any
other class of laborers that can be OBJ
tanned. He has consunlted with Secre-
tary Of War Taft on the subject and the
latter agrees with his conclusions.
White labor cannot exist on the
isthmus on account. of the cli-
mate and the sickness it produces.
Chinese are not available, as they
are prohibited by law to be landed on the
isthmus. The West Indian laborers, the
colored men from the various islands,
are too shiftless, lazy and inefficient
South Europe labor is not available
either. The question has resolved itself,
therefore into the employment of Japan
csc labor if good execution is to be Sc
cured Repugnant' as it is to the customs
and laws of the United States this Jap
anese labor will doubtless be employed
through the Padrone system. Contracts
will be made with Japanese contractors
who will furnish the lak=srers and charge
the government so much per head per
day.
The labor leaders have been sounded
on this question, and It is understood
they raise no serious objection to the
employment Of contract labor on the
actual digging of the canal. They ap-
preciate conditions on the isthmus and
recognize that no body of laborers that
could belong to their organizations,
could endure the climate and do the
work. AS the interests Of labor organiza-
tions have been safeguar6ed in other
ways, such as the manufacture OF ma
chinery and material, the employment
of ditch diggers does not interest them
particularly. ~ ~

"a interest him in such other subjects as
history, geography, and arithmetic.
These subjects will come to mean so,ne
thing to him because he will see their re-
lation to the farm activities in which he
IS already interested. Besides. the boys
observations outside of school have al.
ready introduced him TO the elements Of
tpany sciences; and instead Of putting
him at work in school OH subjects entirely
foreign to his education up to the time he
entered, these elements of knowledge
should be made the starting point Of his

Congressman Champ Clark spoke
at a meeting held at Mexico Friday,

to the menace OF mail order houses

the dispatches say. Then the story
OF Mr.. Clark's address stops. 1t is
presumed that Mr.. Clark advised
home merchants to advertise as a
means OF protecting their trade
against the ravsges of mail order
establishments. These latter places
are building up large trade through
advertising, and home merchants, in
order to protect their trade, must
meet them through a vigorous cam
paign OF advertising, in which they
have all advantage through their
local press. II Mr.. Clark did not
make these facts plain he overlooked
