the rich products Of these tropical
gardens, whose production is almost
unlimited, whose hills are covered
with most valuable woods and whose
mountains contain gold, silver, copper
and other valuable minerals, the ex-
tent of which has never been given
anything like a fair test.
Leaving the old city of Panama for
slow journey along the coast to San
Francisco we made our first stop at
Puntas Arenas, Costa Rica, one of the
most charming little cities along the
coast, whose beauty was such as to
inspire us with visions of other hand
some towns and progressive peoples
as we proceeded farther north.
A feeling of depression came to me,
however, as we steamed hour after
hour along the Nicaraguan coast line
with little or no sign of habitation.
We were close enough to shore most
of the way to obtain, with the aid of
field glasses, a good view of the coun-
try for number of miles into the
interior.
Two or three volcanoes, which we
were told were still alive, but not now
in a state of eruption, were to be
seen from shipboard and q number of
geysers or hot springs could be seen
spouting their water and vapor high
into the air at frequent intervals.
Along most of the coast the vegeta-
tion seemed to be prolific.
At o'clock in the afternoon we
came within the range of vision of
Coronto and at o'clock our steam
er dropped anchor in the bay half
mile from the cast line. Finally a
rowbOat, carrying the Nicaraguan flag
and containing number of represen-
tatives of President Zelaya, reached
the ship and were received by the
captain and purser. At least an hour
was devoted to the petty formalities
that seemed to be necessary, the last
of which was drink all around be-
tween the officers Of the government
and those of the ship. Then the an
chor was lifted and the vessel swung
up to the pier and we were permitted
to land.

our American battleships have been
sent to aid in the preservation OF
peace and for the protection of AM

American interests have not been
largely developed, however, in Nicar-
aqua, nor, in fact, to any such extent
as they might be in any part of Cen
trail America. This part of the world
was first settled by the Spaniards
but almost the only evidence of their
presence there today is their lang
uage, which is universal in that part
of America, strain of Spanish blood
in most of the natives, with few
-blooded Castilians still in con-
troll of vast estates. But Spain as a
nation or people has no commercial
interests left there.
In a business way the Spaniards
were succeeded by the English. but
today more than three-fourths of the
export and import trade of the. Cen

the Germans, who have made won

commercial interests and who are

American cities it was found that the
American consulate was located in g

Amazement in lnsurgent Ranks

Washington, Jan. 5.-With amaze.
ment. in some cases bordering on
anger, the insurgent Republican
members of the house today read the
published reports that they are TO
be singled out by the administration
for punishment for their "rebelliOus
conduct as members of the majority
party of the house. Several of the
insurgents were unsparing in their
denunciatiOn of the policy which
sought to punish a man for freedom
and independence of thought and ac-
ton, as they expressed it. Not few
were loath to believe that President
Taft would lend his aid to an effort
to administer castigation to them
for supporting the very principles
and policies for which they claimed
the party itself stood pledged.
Representative Madison of Kansas
expressed the view of the matter to
which several OF his associates sub
scribes. He said: I'VE insurgents
as we are called, are not against
Taft or his policies; we are unani-
mously. believe, in favor of every
leading reform to which the presi.

tion of the natural resources, regula-

federal court procedure, government
regulation ana control of Industrial
and carrying corporations; publica.
tion of campaign funds, and. other re-
for these same things. 1t is slander-
GUS to say that we can be swerved
from our course of supporting these
reforms by withholding of any official
patronage by anyobdy, or be induced
to support this or that proposition by
the Offering of official sop of any
kind. We are committed to a prin-
ciple which ! have enumerated be-

AS the story is told in the best
cotemporaneous records when Solo
mon projected the temple he first
sought the help of Hiram. king of
tyre, and begged his aid. Especially
ne wanted assistance in the matter
OF cutting down timber, for it was
known that the Sidonians were much
more skilled in the cutting of wood
than the people of Solomon. He also
agreed to pay the woodcutters what
ever might ba desired.
Hiram assured Solomon of his
heartiest help, and agreed that he
would do whatever might be desired
in the matter of either labor or ma
terial.
The first step was to have large
forests of cedar and cypress wood
cut down. and sent to the sea in floats
to the place appointed by Solomon.
In consideration of this service tho
grateful Solomon sent Hiram annual
ly 10000 cori of wheat, the same of
barley and many baths of oil and

SAYS GATES ARE A NUISANCE.
Texas Man Wouldn't Ride on Topeka
Street Cars.

He was from Texas. typical long
horn that was used to few fences He
was expatiating on the beauties Of To-
peka, its broad avenues and roomy ap-
pearance but refused to ride on the
street cars. ST rode up from the de-
pot" said he. 'but excuse me from
any further street car riding where
they shut you in like baby strapped
in its go-cart- I want a chance to get
off if the thing runs amuck or gets
to bucking." Just then a new P. A. Y.
E. car whizzed past, and his attention
was called to the gateless kind.
They're all right; hadn't seen that
kind. L guess if we can get one or
them going my way I'll ride with you.
The Topeka man said This same
sentiment has been expressed by To-
peka patrons who are slow to make
suggestions for fear they would be
construed as knocks on our splendid
street railway system. The gates are
a nuisance. are cause of much delay
and are no longer necessary as safety
devices. The people are not given to
hopping on or off cars while in motion
