It is said the president expects
criticisms of the canal administration
during the next session, both from
Democrats and from representatives
of that element in his own party
which is not in sympathy with his
policies generally. AS rigid economy
is the surest way to avoid Just criti-
cism. he has instructed Secretary
Taft to cut expenses to the bone,
while at the same time seeing to 1t
that the dirt is kept flying.
Secretary Taft has forwarded to the
president reports showing that, ex-
elusive of $50,000,0O0 originally paid
to the French company for all its
rights in the property, there had
actually been spent up TO last March
only about $34,OO0,O00 out of total
appropriation OF $145,0OO,0OO. The
total sum appropriated for actual con.
struction is a little over $74,000,000.
Thus the commission has available
for purposes of construction about
$40,800.000 with which to operate un-

lures for the next fiscal year, begin.

the book representing the house in
which Mr.. Fairbanks was born. AS
the house was burned few years
after his birth and no picture had
been taken of it, Mr.. Fairbanks at
the request Of Mr.. Smith (my father

publication" This, Mr.. Smith says,
is all the connection Mr.. Fairbanks
had with the picture.
In the autobiography Mr.. Smith
says Mr.. Fairbanks was four years Of

MEN BUSY CLEANING AND
PAINTING WHITE HOUSE

tity could not be hauled to supply the
CRATES. This condition was overcome by
painting the sandstone with coat Of
white lead. Each year this has been
repeated, until there is a layer more
than q quarter of an inch in thick
ness on the walls.
Last year, instead Of putting ON an
other coat of white lead, a chemical
preparation was used to cleanse the
walls. This caused the paint to crack
and In many places peel off, making
the building unsightly.
The painters are now engaged in
scraping off the century's accumula,
ton Of white lead. When this is done
the building will receive several coats
of fresh paint. The work will require
several months.

CRIME IN NEW YORK

If I had the power, I would close
every saloon in the United States, and
am not a crank or fanatic on the
liquor question. I drink myself, when
ever I care to, and probably shall con-
tinue to do so. am willing that every
other man shall have the same rights
that I have. But when you sit on the
bench that I sit on and see seventy per-
cent of the cases which come before
you, and see the misery, distress, and
crime, all due to liquor selling-I say
any man with red blood in his veins is
likely to feel that the world would be
infinitely better off if the liquor saloons
could be crushed out, cost what it may.

MATTERS OF NOTE

The London Times attempts to COM
pare the adoption of Prohibition in Fin
land by the Social Democrats with the
excuses to which the French revolt
tionists went, something more than a
century ago. The fact is interesting as
indicating that the Times is purchasing
its editorial inspiration at the same old
pub"
The daily papers continue to comment
upon the attitude assumed by the wo-
men of Mobile, Alabama, who, five
thousand strong, it is said, and headed
by daughter of the late Admiral
SEMMEs, of the Confederate navy,
fought Prohibition in that state. 1t is
safe enough to prophesy that the day
will come when the people of Mobile
will be heartily ashamed that they
thrust this shame upon the women of
their city.
1t is reported that the State Excise
Commissioner of New York will recon-
mend in his annual report an amend
ment to the law, making it unlawful to
permit any minor under eighteen years
to sell or serve any liquors on any
premises where traffic in liquor to be
drunk on the premises where sold is
carried on, or to admit such minor to
or allow him to remain in any bar
room or other similar room or place
where liquors are sold to be drunk on
the premises or in any place or premises
where traffic in liquor is carried on, ex-
'cept hotel, and not in any barroom or
other similar room of any such hotel
Evidently Albany hears things coming
The attention of the liquor interests
which are so much exercised over the
republication of the old story about the
cultivation of the drink habit in boys is
respectfully invited to the following
news item appearing recently in all the
Chicago papers:
c. L. DODGE, a saloonkeeper at 351 Wells
street, will appear before. Judge Petit in the
Sheffield avenue court today and explain why
he sold intoxicants to JAMES SUMMERS, II
years old. SUMMERS, who lives at A Wendell
street, was arraigned in court yesterday
charged with breaking showcase in the CON
lCCtlOHSIy STORE OF OTEPHEN OARROLL, superior
and North Clark streets. Witnesses said the
boy drunk, and he acknowledged that he
and three companions had bought the drinks in
DoDGE's saloon.
Alabama seems to have started in ON
Prohibition several laps ahead of Kan
sas which has been On the track for
twenty-six years. Politics has always
stood in the way of Prohibition in Kan
sas. The personal liberty bowls and the
anti-sumptuary twaddle of the Demo
cratic party has retarded some. :.
but what has most retarded the cause
has been the cowardice of Republican
officials and the selHshness and corrup-
ton of certain class of politicians who
wanted the votes and influence of the
advocate of resubmission and whisky
