REAL CAUSE OF THE PANIC.

'ffFNt 'fhtFfl WV tHb FNNf's
 lt seems that a new argument Is be. Ing presented now as a reason for tho panic of last fall. Journals like the Engineering News have discovered lt. For awhile searchors after the truth had got sidetracked, some said voci- fcrously that President Roosevelt did it by talking too much. He caused a decline of confidence at a time when financial powers in New York were doing their best to nx things up. Then, too, it was proclaimed that Wall street did lt deliberately with malice afore- thought, to teach an object lesson to th, country and to warn the president to say less. Now, 1t Is learned that these views were merely superficial. The labor unions arc found to he the real tromblers. Since some decisions of the supreme court have put .hem on the toboggan attention has been turned to them more.
 In looking back at the matter t seems strange that the unions should have been overlooked Now it Is all clear. Ii is charged that workers have been oxtravasant and have not put as much as they ought to in inc banks and therefore the amount of capital for investment was decreased. Of course those workers who did save something and put it in banks that went to pieces are feeling gratilled that they themselves and their fellow workers are responsible rather than some body else. Another thing that contributed to the panic Is stated in this way: The worst feature of the | labor market of 1906 was not the high prices and the short hours, but the ab- solute incfliciency of the workers" ! Here is something calculated to make union people sit mp and take notice. The incfciency of 1906 pro- duced such an accumulative effect In industry as to produce panic in Oc- tobcr, 1907,
 This Is quite shifting of ideas from
 those of some years past. There was
 a time In the old tarim arguments
 when one heard nothing else than
 the tremendous efficiency of American
 workingmen when compared witl
 other countries and on this account
 the government was bound to protect
 them through the tariff. American
 workingmcn were rated double tho
 efficiency of their British cousins anC
 four and five times that of the rest O
 Europe. but in 1906 this efficiency ha!
 taken such a drop that it is startling
 and only just discovered. Tho aus
 of this rapid decline is a proper sub feet. to investigate. For the proson at any rate 1t serves to explain 1h , of the reasons for the panic. If tn
 workers had steadily increased 'hel efficiency SO as to give . more soli' , support to financial speculations O , the period the panic would not hay
 happened. It was not a matter Q ] prcdator, acumon and overrcachml but labor lneliicicncy. Any one ca , see this with half an eve.
 But the Engineering News is no . without some kindly advice and 5ug gcstion In the matter, II asks Hay | the labor unions learned lesson fror s the experience of the past fe' Q months?" Just what lesson Is ncede . is not stated. But it is foregone con . cluslon that If there are any instruc 2 ton books to be had the widc-awak 2 unionists will begin to study

OPIUM HABIT CAUSES
SWIFT HEART FAILURE

WAILUKU, Maui, November A.
On November 6, a coroner's jury con-
vened by Deputy Sheriff Edgar Morton
decided that Lum Guam, a Chinese,
thirty years of age, came to his death
through heart disease. The dead body
of Lum Guam had been found in the
reservoir at "New Kailua, on Paia
plantation, and according to the evil
dence presented, had been in the water
for five days.
The deceased was an ''opium fend -
and was somewhat demented through
sickness and the use of the drug. He
had been employed at Camp ), Spreek.
elsville, but recently had spent his time
in wandering about the country. 1t Is
supposed that his heart stopped action
and death ensued while he was about
to take a drink of water. DR.. w. F.

DON'T REGARD US

A. P. Grifiths, one of the members
of the Commercial Mems delegation
which went to Japan at the invitation
of Japan, passed through on the Mon
golia, enthusiastic over Japan and its
commercial development. He reports
that the delegation had magnificent
time, and were shown every courtesy
that could possibly be showered upon
body of foreigners.
''We were very strongly impressed
with the certain future progress of
Japan said Mr.. Grifiths, and the i'm
portance of maintaining future com.
mereial relations with Japan. To dc
this We must sell them goods and must
buy theirs.
"The real object of the visit to
Japan was for us to get acquainted
and to overcome the idea that we were
their enemies. They regarded US as
friends, and do not consider us in the
light of enemies, the yellow journals to
the contrary. They recognize the i'm
portance of the yellow journals in
spreading this information.

SIBERIA Is TOUGH FOR AUTOS
Almost as bad as Iowa Mud for New
YOrk-Paris Racers.

NOrk-Parts Racers.
II. L. Frederickson has received the fol-
lowing bulletin from the New York-Paris
racers which shows the cars are having as
bad times crossing Siberia as they had in
the snow drifts of Indiana and in the mud
of Iowa following the spring thaws:
Report from Niatka, Russia, July Is,
shows that the Thomas Flyer in the New
York to Paris race has now been held
over five days waiting for the new gear
which is to replace the one broken in the
swamp in Siberia. The gear has been lost
by the Trans-Siberia railroad and Schuster
IL vainly travelling back over the road to
find it.
The old gear has been temporarily re-
paired thirty miles from Obansk, and could
stand the terrible strain of the rough, rain
soaked roads no longer. The car reached
Ekaterinburg on Monday of last week ana
left Tuesday. At g o'clock it passed a
monument on the road which marked the
dividing line between Siberia and Russia,
and the crew realized they were at last In
Europe.
The car reached Perm Wednesday I'm a
steady, dismal rain. The roads We're soaked
and flooded, worse than ever. Miller ad-
vised waiting until the rain ceased, argu-
ing that the crudely repaired gear could not
stand the ruts and holes that racked the
car so fearfully. Schuster would stop for
nothing; but this time his progressive
spirit proved fatal, for IT was here. In all
the rain, mud and clay that the old gear
gave way. Even after this serious mishap
the car continued fifteen miles to Viatka,
but this last stretch put the gear COM
pletely out OF business and the car Is still
held up awaiting the new part.
N report has been received from the
Protos. II has not yet reached Vitaka or
passed the Americans. and some fear IL
expressed that II may he lost or broken
down In the wilds of Siberia"
