PANAMA MERCHANTS PROTEST
COMPLAIN OF THE COMMISSARY
DEPARTMENT.
Say Canal Commission Employees Are
Rich and They Want Their
Trade

Merchants of Panama are up in arms
over what they term the encroachmeiit
on their trade by the commssary depart
ment of the isthmian canal commission.
They have already formulated petition
to this government asking that the COM
missary be restricted N It's sales. as they
wish to drive trade fen! the comm. ssary
stores to the private stores in Panama
and Colon.
G. de Obaldia. son of the President Of
Panama, is now in Washington on his
way to London, where he is to establish
a consulate for Panama. He said in con-
versation with a Star reporter today al
though he had no official status in the
United States he wished to do what he
could to forward the desires of the Pana-
ma merchants.
Expectation of Merchants.
Mr.. Obaldia said that under the treaty
with Panama the United States had the
right to import free of duty articles for
the use of the Panama canal employees.
He says that the merchants in the re-
public. when this provision of the treaty
was passed. thought that the commissary
would import only coarse food khaki
clothing and brogans suitable for laborers.
But they find now that the commission is
handling delicacieS. fine clothes and the
luxurieS of life such as the white en-
ployes of the canal commission want to
buy. He says that when the canal en-
pioyes can buy these things from the
commissary on free trade basis they
are not going to the private shops in
Panama to get them. where there is an
average of III per cent tariff on imports
>hesides whatever the storekeeper wants
10 charge in the way of profit Mr.. Obal-
dia says that this is very wrong. The
m n mi Of
all wealthy and can well efford to pay
the Panama merchants for the refine
ments of life, leaving the commissary to
supply the coarse food and clothes to the
. laborers, who. as rule. are Spaniards
European emigrants and West Indian
negroes.
Another protest made by Mr. Obaldia
was that not only the employees of the
canal commission made use of the COM
mlSSary, but that they loaned their trad
ing coupons to the natives of Panama
and allowed them also to buy things
cheap, to the great detriment and against
the peace of mind of the Panama shop
keepers.
What the Commission Says.
The canal commission has another side
of the question to present. They say it
Ii true that the commissary handles many
of the luxuries of life. things that the
American employees want and are willing
to pay a reasonable sum for. But they
add that when this end of the living prob
lem was left to the native storekeepers
to supply either the canal employees could
not get the articles they wanted or were
forced to pay such price for them that
life in the zone on the salary of the aver
age employee was out of the question. Inn
porting free the small luxuries which the
commission had a right to do under the
treaty made all the difference to the COM
mission between getting and keeping the
sort of American employees they wanted
and not being able to get them at ALL

A Warning About

Don't take some other brand and think it is like Van Camps

densed milk for cooking
Van Camps is nothing but milk-no sugar,
no starch, no preservative. The preserving is
done by sterilization.
Therefore, Van Camps serves every purpose
of raw milk and cream. It is the ideal milk for
cooking It gives to milk dishes richness and
flavor which you never get from raw milk.
Another fact is that Van Camps Milk is
sanitary. Our COWS are inspected; so are the
men who milk them. There is no chance of
infection. Our dairies are sanitary. The

All Evaporated Milk looks alike and tastes
much alike. But there is difference And the
difference in quality makes vast difference in
the manufacturers cost and his profits. This is
important to YOU
The difference is in the richness, for after
purity, richness controls the value of milk.
The manufacturer of some other brand may
have told your grocer his brand is as rich as

Why Quality is Reduced

Just now the United States laws don't protect
you and your grocer against weak, Evaporated
Milk, because the standard has been relaxed.
The law is not enforced. There is much COM
petition and great temptation to reduce the quail
ity so the wholesale price can be reduced.
Van Camps Milk has not been reduced in
price (your grocer will tell you that and we
positively guarantee you the quality has not
and will not be reduced.
Quality is what you must have and we know
it is wise to give it to you. So quality is what
you can depend upon in Van Camps Milk.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-10-28
How Quality is Reduced

It is just question of evaporation. One
third of the water of raw milk can be taken out
by evaporation, or twice as much water can be
taken out. The resulting product of both proc
esses will look and taste much alike.
But stop and think of the difference in cost.
Realize how it will be when you come to dilute
the milk for use.

Race Strike.

At Topeka, Kansas, because they
had to 60 to school with negro
children, go white pupils of the
seventh and eighth grades of the
Lincoln school here walked out on
strike. Under the board of educa-
tional rules negroes and whites are
segregated in the first six grades of
the common schools, but from the
seventh grade upward in all public
schools here negroes and white pu-
pills are together.
When the white pupils promoted
above the sixth grade went to
school this week they found negro
pupils in the same room with them.
Some negroes had been transferred
to the eighth grade. where there
had never been any negroes. The
white pupils demanded the removal
of the negroes to another room, and
at noon. their demand being ignor-
ed. they marched out in a body.

Business Men.

Why is the Monroe City Demo-
crat not a better newspaper than it
is? There are several reasons for
it, but, this is the main one. Bust
ness men put a cog in its wheels
nearly every Wednesday.
We prepare news matter fresh
and of a local nature to fill columns
because the business interests of
this city does not prepare and we
cannot know that it will prepare its
advertising matter until the last
hour and then it is too late to run
a supplement, the type that would
fill one was all ready set up last
week. Important local news had
to be held up to accommodate the
merchants.

TO BANKERS.
Points in Wilson's Speech to Bank
ers Which Show Advertising is
Needed in Business.

The abstract principles of social
ism are not difficult to admire.
They are, indeed, hardly distinguish
able from the abstract principles of
democracy
The most striking fact about the
actual organization of modern soci-
ETY. is that the most conspicuous,
the most readily welded and the
most formidable power of govern
ment, but the power of capital.
Capital must give over its too
great preoccupation, with the bust
ness of making those who control it
Individually rich, and must study to
serve the interests of the people as
a whole.
Time was when the banks never
advertised, never condescended
to solicit business. Now they
eagerly seek it in small pieces as
well as big The banks, in fact and
in spirit, are at the service of every
man to the limit of his trustworth-
mess and his credit.
1t is the duty of the banker, as
it is the duty of the men of every
other class, to see to it that there
be in his calling no feeling of an
tagonism to the people, to the plain
men whom the bankers, to their
great loss and detriment, do not
know. How capital is to draw near
to the people is the great and pres
sing question" St. Louis Times.

WHO'LL FURNISH THE MUSIc2
A Kansas Democrat Has Written a
Bryan Campaign Song

MT. L. l.. may OF C0nC0rdla, Kan.
has sent to The Post an original
poem, dealing with the campaign,
which he suggests might be set to
music by some Bryan follower with
a musical turn of mind and sung by
Democratic Glee clubs. The poem
is well written, has a rhythmical
swing and ought to suggest a
catchy air. 1t follows:
BRYAN.
A modern knight, he strives for the
people and their cause,
For them he calls for justice, from
courts and from the laws,
He is ever for the right, and never
for the wrong,
He is clean and he is brave, his
blows are fair and strong.
He is the greatest leader we have
from sea to sea,
The people are for Bryan, and
Bryan it will be.
Well known and well beloved with
worthy worldwide fame,
One of earth's gifted, chosen, to stir
mems hearts aflame,
He lights up every issue, with won
derous strength and art,
His own great warm heart reaches
unto the peoples heart
The idol or the masses, from party
passion free,
The people are for Bryan, and
Bryan it will be.
In vain the trnst-fed forces conspire
to do him i'll,
Belle him, and deride him. The
people trust him still,
The trusts have made conditions,
they reigned when evils came
When panic struck the workers,
when sneers met labor's claim.
Their measure has been taken, tbs
one that all can see,
So labor is for Bryan, and Bryan it
will be.
His guiding hand is needed to steer
the ship of state,
Safe from the rocks and shadows,
where wreck would be its fate.
No second rate will answer, the
need demands the best,
Demands this matchless leader, this
statesman from the west.
Beneath his sway the evils that
now Cypress will flee,
The people are for Bryan. and
Bryan it will be.
