j. r. Booth, the Canadian railway mag
nate and lumber king, who has large
business interests in Burlington, began
life as a mill hand. Now he possesses
5000 square miles of timber land and is
the largest owner in his own right Of
railways in British North America. AS
he drives about Ottawa in an old-fash-
toned buggy and simply dressed he would
be taken for a comfortable farmer rather
than a prince of industry. However, the
close observer cannot fail to look a second
time at the forceful, self reliant and ener-
getic countenance which looks out from
under the soft felt hat
Clear-eyed men of vision in all the
churches note the fact that the secular
press of the country does not rally to the
support of ecclesiastics who are defending
the ancient creeds and the standards of
orthodoxy against those who, in their
own churches, are breaking away from
them. The heartiness with which the
majority of the contributors to the daily
press disregard the standards and demand
that truth, without regard to ancient in
corporations of it, shall be made the
test of soundness in belief, and that
liberty of thought and speech shall be
granted to all, on the same terms that
civil liberty is granted, is a new and
surprising phenomenon. 1t is useless
to account for it by the plea that these
men are irreligious and therefore not to
be needed. If they are irreligious, they
have a passionate interest in the fortunes
of the truth, and their estrangement from
the church may have causes which lie
not in themselves, but In the attitude OF
the church itself.-[Christian Register.

President Roosevelt will visit the 18TH
mus of Panama early in November. 1t
has been his earnest desire. ever since
the United States acquired possession of
the canal zone, to see with his own eyes
the great ditch and the gigantic work
the engineers are pushing forward He
regards the Panama canal as the greatest
enterprise that this country has ever
undertaken, and as Congress has given
the work wholly into his hands he be-
lieves it is his duty to inspect II and be-
come fully conversant with the actual de-
tails as they are on the ground and not
as they appear on paper. He feels that
he can learn more about the canal in a
three weeks trip to the scene than he
can by reading volumes or spending weeks
in consultation with those who have beer
on the ground. The trip will be made ir
one of the big battleships. Secretary OF
War Taft will probably accompany the

canal commission will act as persona

BAN.<HEAD DECLARES HIMSELF
Favors Allowing Railroad Employees
 and Families to Ride on Passes.

Washington, June 13.-(Special.) )-Repre- sentative Bankhead, candidate for alter nate senator, stated today that he had received a large number of telegrams and letters protesting against the amendment to the rate bill prohibiting the issuance of passes to railroad employees and their families
 He expressed himself as being opposed to the amendment and stated that he would vote to strike 1t out of the bill when reported by the conferees. MT. Bankhead thinks that the free trans portation of railroad employees and their families is part of their compensa- tion and the effect would be to legislate them out of part of their wages. He said: Railroad employees are already poorly paid in a great many cases and 1t is not the business of Congress to say that railroads should not give them free transportation when desired. It would be another question If 1t were proposed to prohibit the issuance of passes to people who have no connection with the rail- roads. Doubtless this practice has been abused, but I can see no good reason for including the employees of railroad system"
