Taft-of all men-as treating
hippantly questions involving human
lives by the thousands"
One need not take Mr.. Bigelow too
seriously, but it is fortunate when men
of his type begin to shrek that there is
n large amount of unbiased testimony
at hand. much of it from foreign
sources which are beyond the POSSIBLE
ity of prejudice, to show that the direct
contrary of the charges would be much
nearer to the truth. The sanitary work
of our government on the isthmus has
especially been the admiration of all
competent critics.
Digging the Panama canal Is not a
Is o'clock tea and never car be. 1t
means rough, hard work. Even Mr..
|Bigelow cannot reasonably blame Sec
rotary Taft because the Panama eli
mate Is not that of southern California,
nor the cutting as simple as a ditch
through Kansas. He cannot blame him
because the Chagree river flows and
the swamps breed mosquitoes.
The test of our government must be
found in its works, not in the physical
condition at the start. The pink tea
critics only make fools of themselves
and please the senate.-Record-Her ald

The Grazing Problem

II is estimated that there is 300, 900,
900 acres of grazing land in our western
and southern states which is suitable
only for grazing lands, and a bill will be
introduced at this session of congress
giving the president authority to class
ify this land into districts or reserves,
and appoint committees to determine
the value of the land for grazing pur-
poses, and every acre will be charged
for. When this is done there will be no
unjust discrimination and then those
people who are so unfortunate as TO
live near the forest reserve, will not be
pense for maintenance of the bureau
of forestry.-Pinedale Roundup.

The typical westerner may think a

Strictly in accord with his usual pol
icy. President Roosevelt has come
squarely before the country with a
complete report on the Panama canal
matter and asks congress to make the
fullest possible investigation. One
thing is certain, if President Roosevelt
makes any mistakes in the eonstruc-
ton of the canal it will not be because
OF lack of honesty and energy. Some
OF his sueordinates may go wrong and
some blunders may be made by engi-
neers, but the American people can
rest assured that the main project will
be carried on with honesty.

Philippine sugar in teeth of the fact
that $4,000, 900 of people in this country
use sugar and demand it at less cost"
We are of the opinion that there
are not 5000, 900 users of sugar who
demand it at less cost" if the less
cost is to be secured at the expense of
