One of the strangest things is, that
just as soon as some Republican re-
turns from a trip abroad, wnen he
lands in New York and before ne
has had the time to learn anything of
the conditions, he begins TO prophesy
how badly Taft is going to defeat
Bryan in the coming election. and how
big his plurality will be in Ohio. He
may have been absent for months,
and really the longer he has been alb
sent, the larger are his figures. The
trouble is that those fellows who
have been in Europe are not aware of
the fact that the hot air machine Is
out of business IN this country.

Visitors returning from Panama
say that there is a good deal OF
dissatisfaction and jealousy among
the higher officials of the Canal Zone
over the apparent favoritism in the
matter of salary and emoluments,
compared with the duties performed
which, II is claimed, is shown to
one of their number" merely because
he is a friend of Presiden' Roose-
Welt
Joseph Bucklin, the secretary OF
the Canal Commission, is the one
concerning whom complaint is made
and 1t is declared that the attention
OF Congress and particularly of the
Appropriations Committees will be
called to the matter at the coming
session. Bishop draws an annual
salary of $4,000 and II is charged
that there has recently been built
for him a handsome residence at a
cost of 100000 which he occupies
rent free. In addition, II is alleged,
he has carriages and four horses
maintained at the cost of the gov
|ernment besides three messengers
who after doing their days work
at the Office are called upon to per-
form other duties at Bishops house.
In return for all this "fatness" It
is declared that Bishop does very
little work. He is supposed to edit
the "Canal Report" a weekly publI-
cation devoted TO the printing of
reports on the progress of the
canal work and incidents of life
In the "Zone." But 1t is stated that
a clerk performs practically all the
duties of getting out this weekly,
and the Bishop is scarcely ever in
his Office.
The affair has almost approach
ed the dimensions of a scandal on
the Zone, It is said
