SHoNTs FOR LOCK CANAL
Chairman of Panama Commission
Addresses the Atlanta Com-
merclnI Club.

ATLANTA. Ca, May SO.-Theodore p.
Shonts. chairman Of the Panama Canal
commission, was the guest today OF At
lanta friends. He delivered two addresses.
The first was at the dedication OF new
building at Agnes Scott institute, a col
lege for women in Decatur, suburb Of
Atlanta. The second was delivered this
evening before the chamber of commerce,
I'm which he spoke OF the relations OF the
south to the Panama canal He took strong
grounds in advocacy of the lock canal sys-
TEN.
Mr.. Shonts said that between the time
of the selling Of the supplies which viii
enter into the construction Of the Panama
canal and the period when the opening Of
the canal will result i'm the development Of
the country, a gulf is fixed How great
and how wide that gulf is will depend on
the type of canal selected. Mr. Shonts
spoke in favor of lock canal as recon-
mended by the minority of the consulting
board, and endorsed by the canal commits
sion. He said in conclusions
The practical question for all sections
OF the country is how long shall we walt
before we can enter upon the period of de-
Velopment which the opening OF tho canal
will bring to the country2 l am not sur
prised that European countries are in
different to the early completion OF this
canal. am not surprised that they are
Indifferent as to how much this canal may
cost our government | am not surprised
that they can view calmly an indefinite
postponement of the opening of this great
water way. They are neither paying the
bills nor with their commerce and Industries
suffer by waiting for the completion of
this undertaking. But am surprised that
those who supposed to represent the
best interests of the American people should
try to throw obstacles in the way Of realiz-
ing the benefits OF this work at the earliest
possible date. When we can get a better
canal for less money and receive the bene-
fits ourselves, why wait why make il a
heritage to our children with the possi-
bility of their being deprived OF Its bene-
flts through some Unforeseen contingency?
have spoken of a gulf. Now, how wide
that gulf shall be depends on the people.
Do you want TO reap the benefit of This
undertaking yourselves, or do you want 70
transmit hope to your children or your
children's children?
Later in the evening Mr.. Shonts was
entertained at dinner rendered by fifty
citizens.

that Il only exposes the continuance Of the

forces practically made a clean sweep.
There was no session OF Parliament to-
day, hut the various committees held meet

TO TAKE IT OFF PRODUCERS

(From a Stan Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, May 9O.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Telegrams by hundreds are being
received today by members Of congress
from the cattle raising states urging coll
gressmen not TO take action on the meat
inspection amendment of Senator Beve-
ridge The inference which they are draw
ing from these kilograms is that the Beef
trust is threatening the cattle raisers that
II congress makes the trust pay the cost
of inspection the trust will take II out of
the price paid for the cattle. Some Of the
legislators familiar with the methods of
the Beef trust think that the trust would
also turn around and take double turn
out of the consumers of beef. In fact
1t is known that word has already been
passed around in congress that II the
trust has to pay the cost Of inspection the
people will have to foot the bill in the in
creased cost of meat products.
It is safe to say. however. that these
considerations are not cutting much of
figure in congress. The thing has gone
too far, il is asserted, for congress to
turn backward without raising a storm
OF public Indignation. 1t is quite possible
that the amendment may be changed II it
can be shown that a change is necessary
to make II court-proof The most de-
termined effort will be made to fix the cost
of inspection upon the packers and make
It stick. letting the future take care of
the price of cattle and dressed meats.
Some statesmen make the point that If
the Chicago disclosures turn out to be as
startling as they have been limited. the
Beef trust may be glad enough to do busi-
ness at any price that is reasonable, and
that II the trust does not offer to pay a
fair price for cattle there will soon be
arrangements outside of the trust for
buying them and for selling them at a
reasonable rate for the public.
The suggestion has been made that this
very legislation may turn out to be the
beginning OF the breakup of the Beef
trust and the return to normal conditions
In cattle buying and meat selling. Rep
resentatives know that there is no or
ganization in the country. not excepting
the Standard oil trust which is so hated
by the public as the Beef trust and they
feel that they need not fear to take drastic
action so long 1t is legal

''AS a matter of fact, a most effect

nearly all of the Japanese restaurants
located in San Francisco for at least
three weeks Pickets were stationed in

thrown and windows broken, and in one
or two instances the proprietors of the
restaurants were struck bv these stones.
Il am satisfied, from inquiries made
by me and from statements made to
me by the Japanese restaurant keepers,
that the throwing of stones and break
ing of windows was not done by the men
plcketing the restaurants, but by young
men and boys who had gathered in front
OF the restaurants as soon as the boycott
was instituted.

THE REASON WHY
Should Not
Be Elected U.
S. Senator

The New Age has said before and II
now says again that it does not be-
I'eVe that the next legislature will
elect j. Bourne, Jr, to the United
States senate. 1t has been said that
our opposition to Mr.. Bourne is in
spired by prejudice. and that we can
give no good reason for opposing him
since he was regularly named by the
republican voters for the office.
We opposed Mr.. Bourne during the
primaries for the reason that we knew
him to be unfit for the high office to
which he aspired.
First-That he is not loyal and
consistent republican.
Second-That he is a traitor and
political bIack-Iee.
Third-That he could not be depend
ed upon to support Roosevelt.
IT he had been loyal and consistent
republican he would not have deserted
his party in the hour of its dire dis.
Eress, when the blight of Bryanism and
oopulIsm oVershadowed the country in
1906. But as true and loyal repub-
lean would have put self aside and
rendered whatever service he could
or his party and his republican
riends. If 5ourne's will had prevailed
md Bryan had been elected who can
lay that there would have been today
strong, invincibIe republican party
n Oregon to honor him for his perfidv.
The legislative session of 1895 was
he most spectacular in the history Of
'regon and the King Pin of that ses-
ion was J. Bourne Jr, whose NAL.
