TUESDAY MARCH 2, 1909.
Published weekly and entered at theP Post Ofic'
at Waussu &c second class matter.
The Panama Ship Purchase.

Representative Rainey occasionally
reminds congress that the isthmian
canal commission purchased for 81 ,000,-
600 the steamships Shawmut and Ire
mont from the Boston Steamship com
pany and that the steamships were at
TIE time of purchase and still are, out
of commission.
When the American battleship fleet
started on its westward trip it was
accompanied by twenty seven GOLFERS
and supply ships flying foreign flags.
One of these was the Agapanthus. a
freighter of about 1000 tons register
The other day this ship sold at Victoria,
b. c., for S45, 900, fair value, as lack
of business would have put her out OF
commission in Pacific waters.
The fremont is but few tons larger
than the Agapanthus. The larger size
and the fact that she is newer ship
would make her more valuable, But
that she should cost the United States
ten times as much as was paid for the
Agapanthus is absurd.
When President Taft orders thorough
investigation of Panama matters we
shall find out who offered the fremont
and Shawmut for sale, who persuaded
the isthmian commission to purchase
them, who ordered the purchase and
who fixed the price at 100000 each
for ships worth, at forced sale and out
of commission, perhaps 100000.
The information can not but be vastly
interesting to the American people
who are paying for those things. Chi

Clumsy Joke.

The illinois state senate voted yester-
day to make October II Columbus Day.
and legal holiday, in honor of the dis
coverer of America. The senators have
evidently number ct Italians in their
several districts whose votes they de-
sire.-Wausau Record Herald.
The Record-Herald is clumsy. If it
will look over recent election returns it
will find that in the Third ward in Mil
waukee. in the Ghetto district, in New
York, in Indiana and other states that
the Italians voted quite numerously for
Mr.. Taft. Why not, if they wanted to,
it is free country?
But the Wausau Record Herald is not
only clumsy but it is ungrateful Some
of the states of the Union have already
passed laws declaring October 18th a
legal holiday and bill will perhaps
pass congress in the very near future
doing the same thing.
The Italians are great people; they
have given to the world its greatest
orators and statesmen; greatest sculp-
tors, artists, musicians, singers, schol-
ars and discoveries. Why does the
Wausau Record Herald undertake to
make little of Columbus?
Make little of the man who found
it home?
Why not have Columbus Day?
Why not name one of the new states
now coming in, Columbus and one
Lincoln?
Columbus was fitted, from every
point of view, for his mighty and peril
Gus undertaking. Never was success
more complete than his Never great
idea more happily realized. The dis
covery of the new word was one of the
greatest ard happy results of genius
that mankind has ever witnessed. The
Importance of the discovery cannot be
easily overrated. An event so unlocked
for, SO unthought of, expanded the
views and walked up the energy of the
human mind.
1t excited spirit of enterprise never
dreamed of. Its influence on commerce
and consequently wealth was from the
beginning, great and decisive by i'm
mensely increasing articles of traffic
and precious metals were multiplied
for the world.
Colonization and the arts of civilized
life have been advanced and extended
by means of Columbus discovery; the
sphere of human enjoyment enlarged
and especially the blessings of religion
communicated to greater numbers of
mankind The Record Herald is
clumsy.
