Behold. What a Change.

The extent TO which the republican
president and his party have made off
with the once fiouted and bitterly
fought ideas of Mr.. Bryan is nothing
short of amazing Who could have
thought. much less predicted this, in
those bitter days of 1896. when the
wealth of the nation was being poured
into the republican campaign chest to
save the country" from the utterly
wantOn and wicked ideas of this west
ern populist"? Even New England
railroad corporations were giving their
$4,000 to defeat Mr Bryan. let alone
the insurance companies, banks, and
all other corporate interests which mis-
used the funds committed to their keep
ing. and have not yet been brought
to book for it. When this golden flood
of millions of dollars was flowing into
the hands of Mark Hanna, the discred
tied democracy was attempting to raise
money for the campaign by the pitiful
expedient OF dollar contributions. The
great captains of industry were no
doubt amused thereat-it was so small
and inadequate resource. But see what
the years have brought about! The
republican congressional committee
has been forced by the power of pub
lie sentiment to resort to the despised
method employed by their opponents
in 1896. when the democratic congress
sional committee collected dollar sub
scriptions from 10000 people. James NJ.

Bogus RefOrmers Uneasy.

Colonel Henry WattersOn makes the
following comment upon the nervous
ness exhibited OF late by certain bogus
reformers:
Whatever outcome the political
weather. which clothes the politicians
round like fog, may portend and ulti-
mately produce. it is easy to see that
the old things have passed away and
that new things are at hand. The spirit
of commercialized politics has struck
d snag. The insurance revelations,
which have given such black eye 10
high finance, are likely to prove still
more far-reaching. The railways will
have to draw in their horns a bit AS
suredly. the gray wolves of the senate
are coming to grief Doodle and boss
ism in the great centers of population
will have to go. The arousing of the
municipal spirit is one of the most
salutary signs of the times Free
elections and a fair count of votes will
everywhere become the shibboleth of
good citizens and patriotic men. The
bogus refOrmer in particular needs to
be sent to the rear. The malignant
Spectator in civic righteousness. who
pranees round on the high horse of
morality and virtue in public whilst
hand-in-glove with the CRATER behind
the scene. needs to be unmasked."

Novel Incidents of the OH Kings Eu-
ropean Tour.
DR.. III. f. Biggar, the family physi-
clan. who accompanied John ID. Rookie
Teller abroad. says Mr.. Rockefeller
was greatly benefited physically by his
recent European trip.
''Mr Rockefeller showed himself to
the people of France as the quiet, good
natured man that he is" said DIR. Big
gar to a Cleveland (O) correspondent
of the New York Times. While there
he went about the streets a great deal.
Every one learned to recognize him.
He had warm handshake for all
whom he met
Dr. Biggar told several anecdotes of
the trip. On one occasion, he said,
while the party was stopping at Com
peigne, Mr.. Rockefeller expressed Il
desire TO inspect the markets. Ac-
cordingly trip was planned for the
next morning at IL o'clock. The may
or of the town and several officials
planned to make it quite Il formal oc-
casion. When the party formed the
next day there was no Mr.. Rockefeller.
AS the leaders were hurriedly dispatch
guest of honor was discovered coming
up the street with market basket I'M
der his arm. He had been investigat-
ing the markets on his own account
for several hours and had brought back
considerable green stuff. which formed
part of the dinner given to the mayors
party. Mr.. Rockefeller started OH his
expedition at o'clock in the morning,
before the mayor was up.
On the occasion of their visit to the
government forests he frightened the
members of his party by disappearing.
1t was thought that he was lost. In u
few minutes he was found questioning
one of the peasants in regard to his
knowledge of forestry. Might come
handy at Forest HILL" he is said to
have remarked, jocularly. He seemed
surprised at the alarm of the party
over his absence.

In fulfillment of the wishes of the

in the party in the district, the sena-

Furthermore it should be done by the

had met on shipboard.
DR.. Biggar said that Mr.. Rockefeller's
friendship for children led to another
pleasant incident of his European trip.
While the party was stopping ut little
town on the way to COmpcigne. Mr..
Rock made his first hit with the
French peasantry When he reached
the town he made friends with baby
which was perched in the middle of
big chair in the reception room of the
little tavern.
Rockefeller neglected such minor de-
tails as seeing to his quarters in play
ing with the youngster 1t belonged
10 the concierge. The baby was just
old enough to prattle Il little French.
Mr.. Rockefeller taught it to say few
simple English words. Ii was a fine
day and the baby soon grew tired of
instruction. Accordingly the citizens of
the town were soon startled by the
sight of the concierge's baby being
wheeled about in a little gocart. After
a short jaunt about the streets Mr..
Rockefeller and his charge returned.

Panama Canals Rival.

While congress and the administra-
ton have been trying 10 find out what
kind of canal they are going to dig
at Panama, the Mexican government
has been quietly putting the finishing
touches upon an enterprise for inter
oceanic traffic which bids fair to be-
come d comfortable competitor of our
own chosen route, writes Rene Bache
in Technical World magazine for Sep
TENDER.
This fall it will open for business a
railroad running across the isthmus OF
Tehuantepsc from the port of Coatza
CoalcCs on the Gulf of Mexico to Sa-
line Cruz on the Pacific Great har-
bors and docks have been built at both
termini.
The Tehuantepec railroad proposes
to compete for all traffic between our
own Atlantic ports and the Orient: al
so for the trade between New York
and San Francisco, and between Euro
pean ports and the Orient-in a word,
for all of the traffic that is now NOV
ing around Cape Horn, over our trans
continental railroads, and through the
Srcz canal
As compared with Panama, the ay
erage saving of distance to all points
in Es- cad on our Atlantic coast
is no less than 1850 miles An ordin-
ary freight steamer travels at the rate
of 10 miles an hour, or $50 miles day;
so that she would save five days time
by shipping her cargo via the Tehuan-
tepec isthmus. Surprising that time is
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-08-13

worth $500 day. this represents a
saving of $4,000 in money.
Another advantage of the Tehuante-
pee route is that it is out of the region
of Gains and variable breezes. Sailing
vessels, which must always carry much
of the worlds commerce. are likely to
find Panama inaccessible.
