become SO established that there is lit
tie hope of relief until the conditions
are much worse. 1t is safe to say that
the average traveller parts with his
money much more easily and readily
to the usually smiling, cheerful and ac-
commodating porter flor a considera-
tom than he does to the highway rob-
berry INDUCED in by the Pullman CON-
pany.
1t is to be hoped that the Inter State
Commerce Commission will devise
some equitable means of adjusting
Pullman charges to the exact mileage
which the seat or berth is used. There
is no reson why a man should pay
more than he receives, and no reason
why there should be discrimination be-
tween the smaller and larger towns.
1t is worse than the rebates of freight
rates, because it affects the whole
travelling public which wants to sleep
comfortably on the train.
This is matter which the business
men clubs all over the state might
take up to great advantage to them
selves and the whole country.
In the meantime the mystery of the
enormous earnings of the Pullman
company is to some extent solved.

INVESTIGATION
OF THE CANAL
Understood That the PreSi-
dent Will Have Probe
Made.
CIVIL ENGINEERS PROBABLE
1T Is STATED THAT Mr.. RooSE.
WELT DESIRES TO EMPLOY
THEM IN MAKING ANY SUCH IN
vESTiGATIoN.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The presi-
dent is considering the advisability of
having a thorough examination and
report made on the character of foun-
dations that underly the locks and
important dams along the line of the
Panama canal. So much has been said
recently concerning questionable con-
ditions that exist beneath sites of
these works that it is regarded as i'm
portant to carefully determine at this
time the exact magnitude of the task
of providing stable foundations for
these locks and dams. Boring has
been continued and there is now more
data bearing on this subject than has
ever been in possession of the canal
commission. Excavations that have
been going on also furnish additional
data concerning the nature of the
ground. For this important duty the
president is considering the employ
ment of civil engineers of eminence
who are not now in the service of the
government, and who could not posi-
bly, be biased in their judgments be-
cause OF any personal interests in re-
ports previously made on the canal.
A request for an urgent deficiency
appropriation of $5,45S,000 to carry
on the work on the isthmian canal at
the present rate during the balance of
the fiscal year and for new projects
was received by the house today from
the secretary of war. Hhe last year a
deficiency appropriation of $11,990. 900
was made.
For the Atlantic division. where are
located the Gatum locks and dams, an
appropriation of $3.451 ,0c 0 is required.
Chairman Goethals, of the commits
sion, explained that the current ap-
preparation was based on the mistak-
en- idea that congress had appropri-
ated for rock-crushing plant at Por-
to Bello. an erecting plant for the Ga
tum locks and dams and vessels to
transport the crushed rock. For these
purposes $2,500,OOO is now asked. To
make an additional survey of Gatum
Lake and its tributaries $4,000 is
asked.
In the central division, including
the Culebra cut, it is said that the ex-
cavation has been so per cent greater
than was estimated, and for this pur-
pose a deficiency appropriation OF
81, 15O 900 is required.
An additional plant at the Mira
flores locks is also required.

Too Much For Him.

Too Much For Him.
According to a Tennessee man, there
was once a judge in the eastern Sec
ton of that state, man well versed
in law, but entirely self educated, who
had to contend with the principles OF
photography all his life. In early life
he had lived in Knoxville. and for a
long time he insisted upon spelling the
name Noxville.
Finally his friends educated him up
to the point Of adding the X. So thor
oughly, in fact, was the lesson learned
that when a few years afterward he
moved to Nashville nothing could pre-
vent him from spelling it Knashville.
Then some time later the Judge
moved again, this time to Murfrees-
boro. On the day that he began to
write his first letter from this place he
scratched his head In perplexity and
finally exclaimed:
II give 1t up! How on earth can they
spell the name of this place with a

What He Ought to Get.

What He Ought to Get.
A popular London millionaire made
his vast fortune by his business abili-
ty. Thinking that, as he had been so
successful in trade and finance, he
must also succeed in literature, he did
as others have done-wrote a book Of
travels. Having a proper pride in his
own work, he expected to receive a
fairly good price from his publisher
therefor.
To his intense disgust, instead of
Offering him a comfortable check for
the copyright the publisher demanded
that he should pay him for the risk Of
issuing the book. 1t was clear to him
that this was an attempt to take ad-
vantage of his position as a rich man
without experience in literature. He
happened to be on friendly terms with
q well known journalist, and the hap
py thought occurred to him to send
the manuscript to the great litterateur
and critic with a businesslike inquiry,
what do you think I should get for
this?"
The journalist was equal to the &C.
casion. After reading the manuscript
he returned it with the laconic answer
written across the, top sheet, Five
years.

THE STANDING OF THE PRESi-
DENT ELECT.

The American people has in its wis
dom, seen fit to elect its presidents in
November and then to put them on the
shelf to cool for the six months fol-
lowing. This has led to some results
and incidents in the history of the
country which call for some comment.
The most recent comment on this sub
ject has been the remark of the New
York Sun in regard to Taft's recent
visit to New York, accompanied by Sc
cret service men. OF course, the Sun,
in pursuance Of it's usual attitude,
scores the president for using the Sc
cret service to protect an ordinary cit
izen of the United States and wonders
how much farther the president is go
ing to carry what it is pleased to call
the monarchial tendencies of Theodore
Roosevelt.
The public will hardly sympathize
with the Sun 1t seems that after the
trouble the people have gone to to
elect Taft that there is no particular
use in exposing him to the stray shots
of cranks AS far as that goes, there
has not been an inauguration, 10, these
many years, in which the Secret Ser
vice and the detectives of Washington,
Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia
have not been called in to protect the
president and the president The
American people have placed one Of
their number in place in which he is
at the mercy of cranks, and there is
| little difference before he takes the
oath of office than after, as far as the
actual danger is concerned.
| The death of the presidcnt-elect
would endanger the financial condi-
lions of the country. Why should he
have less protection than is afforded
the transfer of the funds of sub
treasury?
| 1t was Abraham Lincoln who point
ed out that the people Of the young
republic could not pay too much at
tention to precedent. 1t was Abraham
Lincoln who had to be guarded on his
way to his first inauguration. 1t was
also Abraham Lincoln, who, having
seen his own election as protest
/ at
saw it turn into house divided
against itself, and he could not touch
it until since months after his election.
It was Abraham Lincoln who was as
sassinated.
the same now that they were in Lin
coins day. There is no impending
rebellion; there is not the same spirit
of unrest But at the same time tho
lesson which was learned at that time
is indeed one to be thought over now.
The president elect should, if he is
not to have the power, at least be

for the assassin. This country has
paid too little heed to the possibility
of assassination, conidering the fact
that there have been many attempts
frustrated that were never heard Of
and that three have actually occurred
in the history of the country.
The fact is that the intrepid presi-
dent will be in no greater danger in
the wilds of Africa among snakes, ven
omous insects and man-eating animals
than he is in this country with the
great army of misguided people who
do away with men in high office as a
part of their belief and doctrines
