The Short Land Haul to the Pacific.

The Short Land Haul to the Pacific.
The short land haul between At
lantic and Pacific ports made possible
by the Tehuantepec railway, which has
been opened only year, is said to be
the chief cause for the trebling Of traf-
tic between eastern and western coast
centers of the United States. Over
$40,000000 worth of merchandise Origi
mating in the United States territory
crossed from ocean to ocean via the
Tehuantepec and the Panama trans
isthmian railroads in 1907, more than
three times as much as that of any
can line carried between 500 100000
and $30,000,000. This road connects
the waters by land haul of 100 miles.
In 1907 the Panama rail route ma
terially increased its business over that
of the preceding year despite the fact
that large demands were made upon
it In the transportation of material for
use in the construction of the canal.
The value of merchandise originating
in United States ports and shipped
over that line to other parts of the
United States and to foreign countries
amounted during the year to between
$120O0,000 and 100000.
All merchandise originating in or
leaving any port of the United States
and crossing Mexico by the Tehuante-
pee line is sent across the isthmus in
sealed cars and is readmitted free Of
duty on reaching any other port of the
United States. The time occupied in
the transfer of merchandise from the
hold of one ship to that of the other is
less than forty-elght hours. Hawaiian
sugar shippers to the Atlantic ports Of
this country have adopted the Tehuan-
! tepec route and abandoned the all wa
| ter route around the Horn.

Congratulations are due the Farm
ers' Union for the united action that
has made it possible to get grain sacks
at comparatively reasonable figure.
1t is possible that the sack dealers may
put the price of sacks down even lower
than they are quoted at present after
the big deals have been closed, but the
fact should not be lost sight of that
without the effort of the union, the
farmer would have paid the same old
price for sacks, and the union should
receive credit for its successful fight.

Judge Lindsey says that the educa-
tion of the youth must begin by healthy
surroundings in the home and by prop
er civic influences. Pullman. as the
center of education for the youth of
thls state. has recognized the truth of
Judge Lindsey's argument, and the
nome and the municipal government
are the two factors that are attracting
much favorable comment to the city.
from the hundreds of visitors here the
past week, only words of praise for
the beautiful, clearly and orderly city
nave been heard, the absence of saloons
and of drunkenness being especially
commended.

Placing Ex-Presidents.

Grover Cleveland's suggestion that
something in the nature of a pension
settlement should be provided for our
ex-presidents is considered by some
people as nothing more than throwing
them on the shelf with bone to gnaw.
Mr. Cleveland says that the people not
only place upon survivor of the
White House the obligation of living
up to high standard of dignity,
but also to continue an active interest
In the affairs of the country-for in
stance, to deliver addresses ION topics
and for purposes that are bewilderlng
and at times and places that are i'm
possible" In other words, the voice
of the ex-president must not be silent.
In order to provide an income for the
support of dignity and also an oppor-
tunity for the voice of the retired eX-
ecutive to be heard by the whole cOun-
try it has been proposed that ex-presi-
dents have seat for life in the house
of representatives. With the seat
would go the pay and allowances of an
elected representative, together with
the privilege of debating, but no vote.
Commenting upon this method of
treating a problem which is generally
recognized to Ike real, the Washington
Post says:
Under such a provision ex-presidents
would truly go into the house as friends
of the people and not as parts of any po-
liucal machine. The country would get
7 tie benefit of their wisdom and expert
ence The house would feel the weight
Of their influence. 1t would be dgniied
| by their presence, and they would be
earning their emoluments by a full meas
! ure of service. Only their ripened views
! and not their votes could influence legis-
! lation. AS men who had stood in a posi-
! ton of responsibility toward the whole
| people they would have a wider vision
! than men who chiefly represented the
! wishes of their limited constituents, and
| the legislation influenced by former exec
| utives would undoubtedly be for the bene-
| fit of the whole country rather than for
the aid of few at the expense of many
Having for constituency the whole
body Of voters, ex-presidents would be
likely to avoid close party affiliations.
