A PANAMA SUGGESTION.

The President Is going to Panama to see things with his own eyes. As usual he will be attended by a full corps of reporters and photographers. No ex- pedition of the President is complete without a body of photographers to &C., company him. This fact prompts sug- gestion.
 The mere going will not be dramatic enough for a people wno have been treated to a descent in a submarine boat by the President. We recall just now that he did not take photograph CT with hIm on this particular trip. and must in justice quality our statement above. lie will have them on the isthmus and we can see palpable uses chief executive. He ought certainly to devote one day to actual digging with shovel and have his picture taken in all the attitudes Of common canal laborer. These could he used in being reproduced and sent broad cast over the United States and would doubtless fetch volunteers by the thou sands, seeking jobs down there. Where volunteers at present are not plenti- full.
 Another day might be devoted to operating one of the big dredges. duly accompanied, of course, by the staff photographer, and still anothor day could be put in on the Culebra cut. ac. companied according to custom by his devoted stan of picture makers: and yet another. so accompanied given to damning the Chagres River.
 The President is not an engineer and not a physician. It Is hard to see what he can learn on the zone that he could not learn at home and his visit par takes very much of the spectacular in character. Our suggestion would at once dlgnify the visit and make 1t in- structive to all the people. We should all then have a clearer idea of our sto- len property, acquired by means de- scribed by Senator Culberson as "in- defensible in law and Infamous in morals"

 This outlines the following fea- tures
 That the spinner, at maturity of contract, will receive nothing but Rpinnable grades of cotton. just as pa irons of the Chicago board of trade are delivered nothing except milling grades of wheat and corn.

 That delivery or acceptance of ac- tual cotton shah not only be contem- plated but actually consummated since there is no loophole of escape in the form of a penalty.
 That 1t Is the closest approach to dealing in actual cotton of any con- tract In existence since 1t is based on the delivery of nothing below low mid ding white or strict low middling tinged or stained and nothing above good middling white.

WEDNESDAY, JULY {, 1908.
CAMPAIGN MONEY.

We again see 1t stated that the chair men of the Republican and Democratic National committees are up against the prospect of having no campaign funds for 1908. Although Congress failed to pass the bill prohibiting corporation subscriptions to campaign funds, it Is we'll known that there has been such a stir over the contributions for the last campaign that 1t may not be pos- sible to raise any considerable amount of money for 1908 and those who are to manage the campaigns are despon- dent.
 It would be an anomaly in modern politics If a presidential campaign should be carried through with prac- tieally no money in the chest of either party. Perhaps the innovation might be a good one. It Is certainly not in harmony with our boasted Republican simplicity that it requires millions of dollars to put through an election for President of the United States The charge often made that the best of- Aces so to the men or party with the biggest purse Is not altogether slander- ous. If a contest for President could be made strictly on the merits of the candi- dates and the principles they represent, with no enormous campaign funds to debauch voters. 1t might really have a good effect and relieve politics of much of the sordiness that now enters into our elections.
 And yet there Is disquieting thought in this supposition. Political parties in this day have become so ac- customed to spending much money in national contests that if there were no contributions or assessments none but a very rich man could afford to run for President and the office might go to the man with most money to hand out. That would really be less cred htable condition than we have had heretofore. In fact. We see no way now or in the future to carry on a national campaign without a liberal supply of money. and they will get it somehow

GoLD-HANDLED EYE SHADES.
queen Victoria of Spain Leads tn
 Fashion.

London.-Queen Victoria of Spain has made fashionable an elegant device for protecting bright eyes from the sun and warding off sun headaches. It is a shade for the eyes, beautifully wrought of various materials and mounted on long handle like the fa- miliar lorgnette
 This dainty affair was found very useful under the torrid Spanish sun by the new queen, who took it with her from London. Here the Maisette. as 1t Is called. has become indispensab ble to the fashionable woman who goes to race meetings and polo matches.
 It not only prevents the headaches that result from watching sports un- der a powerful sun. but also saves the wrinkles that are formed around the eyes in those circumstances
 The eye-shade. which is the inven- ton of a woman, Is ma le up in elegant forms of costly materials. such as mo- ther- of pearl, gold. silver repousse and carved tortoise shell
 Automobile parasols are now wield- ed by the smartest women at garden parties and church parade, Why thev are so called is not quite clear. for they are quite useless for motor- ing.
 The automobile parasol is really a revival of the old Eugenie "sunshade." 1" If is a tiny, hlmy thing, set on join ted folding stick which can be held at any angle. Taffetas and lace are used for the cover, while the handle is off, fen daintily fashioned In mother-of- pearl or ivory
 Another new fashion in parasols is the miniature imitation of the giant umbrellas carried by Italian peasants They are of red and blue cotton, with gaily striped borders

Why the majority of committee should be dependent on the minority for quorum he does not explain. The fact remains that the bill is dead. The President might have saved 1t had he used half the earnestness in pressing 1t that he devoted to other and less. important measures. The leaders or the House, Mir. Cannon alone for that matter. might have snved it. The re-. sponsibility is plain enough. Mean while we congratulate The Tribunte on having done its best in cause which its party managers refuse to support. It is right in thinking that sound public opinion is with 1t"
 We suppose there can be no ground for doubting that the President and Speaker could have secured the passage os the bill if they had seen proper to use their power and influence on the Republican members, but they failed to do so and the plain inference is that neither of them wanted 1t to become a law We see no other construction to put on their indifference.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-07-04

The New York Tribune made an earnest appeal to it's Republican breth- ren in Congress to pass the bill for bidding corporations to contribute to political campaign funds, but the bill failed to get through. The New York Times In commenting on the failure remarks that the Washington corre- spondent of The Tribune explains. ap- parently on the authority of MT, Sher- man. Chairman of the Campaign Com mittee. that 1t was due to the wicked Democrats who remained away from the committee that had the bill in charge and left 1t without a quorum.

SUSPICIOUS COMPLIMENTS.

Under the heading 'The Nations Va cation The New York Times remarks that .the country learns sympatheti- cally that the President often shows
 traces of nervousness and needs a long rest Curiously enough, that IS the way we all feel, and the longer the Presidents vacation the better will be his health, and the health Of all or us MT. Roosevelt will, therefore. ap-
 nreciate that entire goodwill accom- panies him to Oyster Bay The longer he stays there the more great many will like it. We shall read with in-
 terest measurably free from anxiety what he does there. When he cuts
 down trees and goes camping with ms
 boys he is commenting himself to the affections of all of us. We will not deny him his need for the good he has accomplished in his wrestle with the octopus, and we are sure he intended none of the i'll which has resulted. "Perhaps by next Winter he will ap- preciate that one thing well done is better than several half done, and that it ia not necessary that everything should be done or even attempted, at once Perhaps he sees now that in-
 stead of making one hand wash the other he has really made one hand fight the other. and that he has fought
 a drawn game rather than a winning one, for there are offsets to his achieve
 ments He will not have Russia and
 Japan on his hands this Summer, and
 he may forget everything except his
 health until after, say. New Years. He is not running for anything this
 Fall, and what happens in the various
 States need not engage his attention.
 He will do his party no good by med ding in Iowa or elsewhere. long and quiet vacation for him and the
 Nation is the cordial wish of eighty
 millions and more."
 If that isn't offering posies with one
 hand and stabs with the other we
 don't know why not The Times vir-
 tually argues that the best thing that can happen to the country and the
 people will be for MT Roosevelt to go
 to Oyster Bay and stay there. and keep
 his mouth shut. We don't know what the result of such a course would have on the country. but 1t would be death
 to him. To live and breathe and not
 meddle Is not at all the Roosevelt way.
