From The World To-Day.
One hundred and cighty-fivc
monthly and one hundred and seven
ty-ninc weekly journals in tho United
States and Canada are devoted cl-
clusively to the advocacy Of trade
unionism.
These 3G4 publications, which
number does not include socialiStc
periodicals, reach not incon3ider-
able portion of tue laborin& COM
munity and exercise an influence in
1t which is little suspected.
There are in North America ap-
proyimately 2,500,0O0 working peo-
pie organized into trades unions. and
each of them receive the official or
gan of the craft to which he or She
belongs and usually one Or two other
labor papers.
But the prestige of these Journals
extends beyond the enrolled member
ship of established organizations.
They number among their subscribers
many sympathizers and non-union
workmen; they arc placed on the
tables of reading rooms all over the
country, and for every subscriber
there are probably two readers. 1t
is no eyagscration to say that tncy
reach 100000 readers, perhaps
half as many more.

PANAMA HAS CHEAP
FARMS FOR SALE.
Settler Can Get One Hundred
Acres to Be Used as Homestead
For $40,

Consul J. C. Kellogg, of Colon,
states that all lands in the Republic
of Panama not owned by individuals
are considered as public lands, and
are therefore the property of the ma
ton. He gives particulars as to how
they may be acquired:
Public lands are granted for the
establishment of national industries,
for public uses, for agricultural pur-
poses, and for the establishment of
colonies when authorized by law. All
persons residing on Panaman terri
tory enjoy the privilege of acquiring
such lands as authorized by law, but
foreigners whose native countries do
not allow the same privileges shall
not be permitted to acquire public
lands.
Public lands in the republic are
sold on the gold basis at fifty cents
per hectars Of two and one-half acres
for lands to be used as homesteads,
consisting of fifty acres or less; one
dollar per hectare for lands to be ac-
quired by corporations for public util-
ity purposes; fifty cents per hectare
for plots of land less than 100 hec-
tares to be used for agricultural or
industrial purposes; flfty-flve cents
per hectare for plots of over 100 and
less than 200 hectares, the price in
creasing at rate of five cents for each
additional 100 hectares or fraction
thereof.
The maximum amount of land
granted to any one individual cannot
exceed fifty acres. Lands granted to
colonies authorized by law shall be
granted at the same rate as above
mentioned if granted to each colonist
separately, but If granted to an agent
representing company of colonists
the rate shall be at one dollar per hec-
tare; fifty per cent. Of the amount OF
the lands purchased must be paid at
time of the grant and the balance
within twelve months after said date,
with interest at the rate Of six per
cent per annum. Non-payment of the
said amount within the twelve months
stipulated annuls the grant, and for
feiture Is made of tho amount already
paid.

Chewing Gum Justified.

Persistent gum chewers will prob
ably feel that all their facial energy
has not been wasted II it has pro-
longed the production of chewing
gum until some real use has been dis
covered for that article. Two better
uses have been found for 1t than
merely as an object to. distort the
face in idleness. One use is as tenn
porary solder to stop sudden leaks
until the tinsmith can remedy them.
The other is as a preventive for sea-
sickness. One traveller says she
crossed the turbulent English Chan
mel we'll and in her right mind solely
as result of taking a little pepsin
gum and chewing it in private.-Phil-
adelphia Bulletin.

There has been much argument In
various quarters that Congress should
remove the duty on white paper from
Canada, 1t being held that this would
relieve conditions in the United
States. Mr.. Dillon believes such a
step would bring no relief whatever.
Parliament enact an export duty on
pulp logs. The American paper
maker is not getting raw material
from Canada because his field of sup
ply is exhausted. If such an export
duty were imposed there it would
merely mean that the cutting in
American forests would be increased.
"Then again, such a step on
Canada's part would mean probably
that American capital would cross
the border and build its mills there,
thus distributing its money through
payrolls in the Dominion rather than
in the United States. That would not
be step of benefit to our own coun-
try and its people, believe
Mr.. Dillon denied that arbitrary

II want to say that the Great
Northern Paper Company stands ut
terly alone. 1t has no condition or
working agreement with any other
papermaking company in the world.
Conditions in Canada.
paper made in Canada approxi-
mates a volume but little in excess
of the demand there" said he. "The
price is only slightly below that here.
There is now, of course, no duty
on pulp wood imported from the Do
minion. In Canada there Is wide
spread demand that the Canadian
Monopolistic influence has nothing to
do with the advanced selling price.
Increased cost of production is the
sole factor which has brought this
result
Price of Newspapers.
II believe" concluded Mr.. Dillon,
"that instead of calling on Congress
to remove the duty on white paper,
the publishers of newspapers should
assume the position of basing the
selling price of their publications on
the cost of raw material and manu-
facturer involved. | believe that
they stand on the same plane with
any other purvcyor who has goods to
sell to the public and whose wares
meet a public demand or necessity.
I'VE, too, should like to secure
our sulphur supplies at half the pres
ent cost. We should like to be able
to purchase our pulp wood at half
its present price. We should like to
find it possible to buy other raw ma
teral at prices greatly below the
level now prevailing. From the

THE CRITICISM
Says that Mitchell Had Nothing to do
With the Article in
Journal.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. Is
With reference to the sentence OF con-
tempt of court imposed on Mitchell. s
M. Sexton. former editor of the Mine
Workers Journal in an interview, to-
day said:
Il was editor of the Journal and
wrote the matter complained of. |
never wrote anything with more delib-
GRAFTON than the editorial complained
of. Mitchell never saw the editorial
until he was served with legal pro
cess and knew nothing of it prior to
its appearance. Mitchell, resident of
Illinois. was hauled into court at
Washington for an offense of which
he is entirely innocent and utterly
ignorant of it's commital, and which
was performed in the state of Indiana.
and tried in Washington, contrary to
the decision of the supreme court in
the case of Chas. A. Dana, of the New
York Sun, in the syllabus which was
a declaration that the offense must be
tried in the court under whose juridic-
ton the offense is alleged to have been
committed
