Anty Drudge on Washing in Flat.

Mrs Apartment the hardest thing get hot water
here; you're not supposed to do any washing in the
rooms. And when do get hot water it takes so
long to wash that the rooms get awful smelly
Anty Drudge why don't you use Fels-Naptha? Then
you won't have to use hot water. You will get
through with your wash in jiffy and therell be
steam to make your rooms offensive
To women who live in apartments
the washing of clothes is a problem. The
solution is Fels-Naptha soap.
No need of het water; no boiler, no
washboard. For light washing you don't
even need washtub, because the bathtub
or basin will do quite WELL
All you require is Fels-Naptha, cool
or lukewarm water and place to dry the
clothes.
Say you have shirtwaist or two, nap
kins, lingerie and other small things, that
you don't have time or don't want to send
out to be washed You can do much bet
ter at home in this way:
Wet the clothes, soap we'll with
Fels-Naptha, roll and leave to soak in cool
or lukewarm water for short time. Then
rub lightly, rinse and hang up to dry.
Takes but one-fourth the time and
one-tenth the work of the old way Also
saves the Clothes
Follow directions on the red and green

May Bring Out Important Facts.

In seems incredible that American
courts will recognize that friend or
relative Of the president has a sacro.
sanct character, emitting him to have
the nation prosecute his alleged libel
er, as one guilty of treason. But, If
the courts shall admit such prosecu-
tion, certain public benefits should re-
suit.
We should get large amount Of
evidence under oath as to what has
become of some of the money already
spent on the Panama canal enterprise.
There have been great difficulties in
finding out what has become of some
$40,000,000 of the Panama canal ex-
penditure--who got it and what they
gave in exchange for it. There Is
widespread suspicion that the nation
was victimized at Panama from the
outset.
And, in view of the fact that a canal
which we were told originally would
cost only $135, 100000 is expected now
to cost over s5OO,O0O,O00, the fullest
information about Panama expendi-
lures is distinctly esirable.-Chicago

TRUTH COMING OUT
RICH PROTECTED" MANuFAc.
TURERS ARE TALKING.
High Tariff Schedules Admitted by
Their Beneficiaries to Be Plain
Robbery-statement Of Truth
at Least Encouraging.

The average American can not fail
to be impressed with the dual atti.
tude assumed by certain prominent
manufacturers as witnesses before the
ways and means committee.
In one BREATH witness will admit
that as corporation manager he is
in favor Of high tariff. In the next
breath he will admit that as an in
dividual citizen and speaking for the
great body of American consumers
he favors sweeping reduction in tar
if schedules.
Other manufacturers want the
Schedules changed in other lines of
production and left alone, or made
higher, in their own. Still others favor
the entire removal of customs duties
in their own particular line, while
championing stiff schedules on other
manufactured goods.
When the National Association of
Manufacturers sent Mr.. Miles, chair.
man Of its tariff committee, as a wit
ness the other day he promptly dis
claimed speaking for other manufac-

opinion only. He favored free steel
and even free farming implements.
which are made by his own company.
He said in effect that farmers were
being robbed by the present tariff
schedule, and were entitled to the re.
duction.
This was almost bombshell in Mr..
Payne's committee. The idea. Of a
manufacturer whose corporation
amasses wealth from high tariff ta-
king the side of American consumers
was contrary to all traditions.
But the truth will come out. Be-
sides Carnegie, who is too rich to
need protection" any more, there are
active manufacturers who get tired
playing the Mr.. Hyde role in tar
iff matters. When they think Of con-
sumers' burdens they become DR..

Press Must Be Free.

Jackson. one of the most arbitrary
of American presidents, paid no at
tention to personal attacks in the
press. He accorded larger liberty
TO press comment than any that is
claimed nowadays. Repeated at
tempts have been made In England,
in the American colonies and in the
United States to muzzle the press or
TO restrain its freedom, but none has
ever succeeded. On the contrary every
such attempt has reacted against the
authorities making it. The actions
undertaken against Horne, Tooks,
William Corbett and John Wilkes in
England, against John Peter zenger
in old New York and against others in
later times, all resulted in confirming
and Strengthening the liberty of the
press within large and rightful limits.

ssoo,ooo,ooo FOR THE CANAL.
Cost OF Panama Cutting Worth Con.
sideration by Taxpayers.

Some time ago, in view Of certain
information in its possession, the
Journal warned its readers that the
estimated cost Of the Panama canal
would be raised to half billion dol
lars; that the lock canal would be
abandoned in favor of a sea-level ca
nal, and that eventually the present
route would probably be abandoned al
together.
Therefore they will not be surprised
to read in this mornings Tribune, the
personal organ Of Mr.. Roosevelt and
Judge Taft, that "the country Is to
be treated to a few little surprises as
to the real nature and cost of the
governments undertaking, in joining
the two big oceans"
The Tribune quite naturally takes
very personal interest in the canal.
Therefore 1t presents IN the best pos
sible light the fact that our own Sen
ator Hopkins has introduced bill to
make the cost limit $500,000,000. The
original appropriation of $195.000,000
has all been expended, and the work
is not one-third done. The people of
the United States are asked for $685.
100000 more for a lock canal, and
there is no assurance that even that
vast sum will cover the cost
AS the Journal foretold, the next
step will be the announcement, after
Judge Taft and his six engineers
make their inspection, that the lock
canal is unfeasible and we must have
sea-level ditch. On the basis of ex-
perience, the government may spend
81, 00,000000 on that before aban-
doning it in favor of some more prac.
tical route.
The canal bogey is very real. The
"Pooh-Pooh" attitude of certain time.
serving newspapers will no longer de-
ceive the people One Of these days
the whole infamous truth about the
Panama deal from first to last will
be told and more than one popular
idol will be found to have feet of clay.

FALSE MOVE BY GOVERNMENT.
important Question Involves Freedom
of the Press.


1t seems very doubtful whether
congress could, If it wished, create
the crime of libeling the government
as such, and as distinguished from
libel of public officials for which they
may seek personal redress like other
citizens The constitution says that
congress shall make no law abridg'
ing freedom of speech or Of the press"
Any hostile criticism of governmental
acts would probably be construed as
libelous by the officials responsible
for those acts. And instead Of seek
ing a personal vindication 1t would
doubtless be convenient for such OFF,
cials to have the power of the nation
put forth to vindicate them, as Mr..
Roosevelt now seeks to have it put
forth for his brother-in-law.
Congress once tried to do this very
thing. BY the sedition act of 1913 it
denounced as crime ANY false. scan
dalous and malicious writings against
the government of the United States,
or either house of congress, or the
president" But even in that effort,
which lasted only about three years,
came near causing a revolution, and
started the destruction Of the Fed.
eralist party, there was no attempt
to make the relatives Of the president
sacrosanct or to confer upon his per
sonal friends special exemptions not
enjoyed by other citizens.
In view of the results of the one
open attempt to Great the crime OF
