No Stone Wanted at Panama.

The organized effort of the quarry
men of the oolitic belt, near Bloom
ington, to have the stone used in the

word that the chief engineer has
written to him that the entire work
will be in concrete which can be
obtained near the line of the canal,
and that no stone of any kind will
be utilized.

not permit injustice They do not

permit the roads longer to conhscate

When the Indiana laws of 1907 are

appear and yet 1T is believed tina; the
person who hands a quarter to the
Pullman porter or who leaves like
amount for the waiter in a diner will
be guilty of bribery and subject to a
fine of from $25 to 500. Yes, It is
queer and quite surprising, and it IS
all due to the Mock bill, which was
passed for the purpose of aiding ship

president. Therefore. / ask that the
inland waterways commission shall
consider the relations OF the streams
TO the use of all the great permanent
natural resources and their conserga-
ton for the making and maintenance
of prosperous homes.
Any plan for utilizing our inland
waterways, to be feasible, should rec
ognize the means for executing it al
ready in existence, both in the federal
departments of war, interior, agricul-
ture and commerce and in the states
and their subdivisions; and it must

benefits to be conferred, but it will he

An amount that would have seemed
enormous and incredible half cen.

The president suggests that the
questions which will come before the
commission must necessarily relate to
every part of the United States and
affect every interest. It's plans
should be considered in the light of
the widest knowledge of the country
and its people and from the most il

when its work is sufficiently advanced,
he says he will add to the commission
