Retain the Trade.

Trade between the United States and
the Republic OF Panama will exceed
So, 100000 during the fiscal year which
ends next month, according to a state
ment just issued by the Department OF
Commerce and Labor
About nine-tenths Of this total is mer-
chandise exported to Panama and about
one-tenth is merchandise imported into
this country from the new republic.
These figures do not show the grand
total Of the business done by this coun-
try with its sister republic. inasmuch
as much OF the business is carried to
Panama in Government vessels for use
on the canal construction.
The trade with Panama has steadily
grown and the figures on both exports
and imports for tie current year exceed
those OF any other year. Six years ago,
according TO the department records.
the imports from Panama were valued
at only $4i0747.

General Keifer Opens Cam
paign for Naturalization
of Panama Waterway.
SCHEME ADVANCED
AS SAFEST PLAN
Ohioan Declares Difficulties of
Fertilization Will Make Big
Ditch Source of Weakness.

1t begins to look as II the question
of defending the Panama canal would
give about as much trouble 10 Con-
gress as the construction Of the water
way itself.
The recent submission Of estimates to
Congress on the amount Of money re-
quired for the fertilization OF the canal
something over Sl4,OO0,OOO, and the in
sistence Of President Taft that the canal
be fortified have led 10 no little dis
cussion on this question.
Representative J. Warren Keifer Of
Ohio made a speech in the House this
week in which he urged that the canal
be neutralized. That is. ne urged the
adoption Of a resolution requesting the
President to negotiate a treaty with the
principal powers Of the world guaran-
teeing the protection, preservation, and
safety Of the canal and the approaches
thereto in time of war and peace.
Fertilization Argument.
This is not q new question. Lately,
however, it has appeared that the
friends Of fOrtihCauOn were getting the
advantage. They have made use Of the
argument that If the canal were not
fortified there would be no protection
for a fleet at the entrances of the canal
and that a hostile feet might stand off
either entrance and sink the warships
OF another fleet as they filed through
the waterway one by one.
General Keller, however, presented the
difficulties of fertilization and urged
naturalization. He declared that If half
the army Of the United States and half
the battIeships and cruisers and war
vessels were put on the line of the
canal and at the entrances in time OF
war. they could not keep the canal
open twenty-fOu~ hours
General Keifer dwelt on the unhealth-
fulness OF the canai region ahd the az
ficulty Of maintaining force there
10 man the fOrtifications. Unless the
canal is neutralized, General heifer
said, a single hostile vessel on either
end would blockade the canal against
the commerce Of the world
Open to Sudden Attack.
More than this. General Keifer point
ed out the danger 10 the canal unless
neutrallzed in case Of a sudden attack
by a hostile nation on unexpected out
break OF war.
Mr.. Tawney said the plans Of the
War Department contemplate fortifca-
lions which will enable a fleet 70 pass
through the canal and form in line of
battle outside the range Of any gun on
a ship within the range of the guns
of the forudCations."
To this Mr.. Fitzgerald replied and Mr..
Tawney did not disagree that the lay OF
the land on the Atlantic side made this
impossible.
General Keifer maintained that II this
country is 10 be put In the position OF
having TO defend the canal I'm case OF
war il will be a source of weakness. He
pointed out that this country has the
longest coast line Of any nation in he
world. In war time, a feet would have
to be maintained at either end and an
army, sufficiently large to protect il
against all Corners. Thus, ne said, a
powerful naval and military force would

JOE McKENNA'S LUCK
California is entitled to better
timber in Washington even if the
machine must rule. Since they
raised salaries the place is worth
while, even for an honest man,
and it has wonderful possibilities,
Consider Joe McKenna. McKen-
ma was the luckiest man that ever
came down the pike He was
village lawyer Of moderate ability
and small learning when Stanford
took him up and sent him to con
gress. He had a good manner and
made friends. He was advanced
step by step until he held con
siderable place in the house. Pres
emily he appeared to be the logical
candidate for place in the cabinet
as representative OF the Pacific
coast, and Mckinley made him at
torney general. In that Office he
wrote some remarkable decisions
that were received with respectful
derision bv the bar OF America.

SECRETS OF BIG BUSINESS"
The romance of contemporary history lies in
finance and it is our misfortune or rather that OF
future generations, that it is never told from the
inside That is not true OF craftsmanship politics,
whose inside history usually illustrated by let
ters and documents written by men on the inside
which later come to light. These reflections occur
in connection with the deaths of ID. O. Mills and
George w. McNear What an interesting and IN
structive story NIcNear might have told about the
tremendous deal IN wheat that came so near break
ing Flood and OBrien and the great Nevada bank
: The story of Raston was romance OF high
finance, banking and promotion. D. o. Mills
could have told it from inside point of view,
but don't suppose that either of these men
has left scrap of paper that might explain or
illustrate the true history of the great business
deals and conflicts in which they played con-
spicuous part.
The wheat corner that involved the Nevada bank
defeated by the big four, comprising McNear,
Bafour Guthrie & Co, Girvin & Eyre and Eppnger
& Co. William Dresbach was the broker Tor the
bank, which is supposed to have put up S1OOO0OOO
in the effort to corner wheat. 1t is generally sup
posed that Cashier Grant OF the bank was the
man who worked the deal on that side, but
