Taft Pledged to Fertilization of Panama
Canal.

Beverly.-The Panama canal will
fortified.
President Taft has himself been
committed to scheme of fortifca-
tion for the canal since his old days
in the War department, and there is
very definite understanding among
those close to him that he has not
changed his mind since he became
president.
. According to the understanding,
the president regards the treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain over toward Ancon, way on
the Pacific side, with a view to the
future Notifications.
Incidentally, while the president
and he are both publicly naming
January, 1915, as the date of the
opening of the canal, Taft and
Goethals are both striving with
might and main to have the ditch
opened considerably earlier.
1t may perhaps be worth a passing
note, speaking of fortifying the
canal, that Colonel Goetals told the
writer at Culebra during Mr.. Taft's
last visit to the Isthmus that several
skillful Japanese artists had been de.
tected at different times making
elaborate sketches of the canal work
1t might be reasonably asked wha;
Japan wants of sketches of the cana
if it is to be neutralized and free tC
all nations in war or peace.
On the forthcoming visit of the
President to Panama the question o.
fortitying the canal will in all proba
bility be settled definitely.
The president is going to take (
general survey of the big project
There are half a dozen problems
that await his decision. He regards
the completion of the canal as one
of the big responsibilities of his ad
ministration and the certifying O

The Duty Of Merchants to Newspapers.

No merchant or business man unless
his brain be hopelessly encrusted with
cob-webs or afflicted with paresis
would ever take occasion to declare
that be can conduct his business profit
ably without the aid of advertising.
If he be a real live wire he realizes,
and so testifes, that advertising is
the life of trade. 1t is the actual
blood of the body business. 1t mat
tiers not how he advertises, whether
he stands III the street before his
store and shouts his announcements,
whether he uses the magazine, the
circular, the bill board or the news
paper. He must advertise and he
knows it.
The newspapers reach the home
daily and talk to every member Of
the family. A tale told through the
columns of the daily press is always
told effectively.
So much for advertising and its in
disputable value, particularly when
it is of the newspaper variety. But
there is also another standpoint from
which the matter of ADVERTISE @
should be regarded by the merchant.
He should recognize the fact that the
uewspa per in the town in which he
does business is always enterprising
enough to be constantly going to the
expense and trouble, regardless of re-
ward, to boost and boom the merits
of the town. 1t spares no effort to
set forth all the advantages and OPP
portunities that the town can offer.
Such newspapers are always to a
town assets of incalculable value. 1t
is such newspapers that the merchant
is really in duty bound to support by
giving it his advertising patronage
for which he gets value received and
more.
The enterprising newspaper that is
ever actively engaged in a campaign
to liven business conditions and bring
about an influx of new settlers, new
ca pital and new business IS rendering
service that can hardly be measured
in dollars and cents. a newspaper of
such type annually spends thousands
and thousands of dollars for the pur-
pose of exploiting the resources of
the town and its surroundings. The
growth and prosperity always result
ant from such work on the part of
the newspaper is bound TO be profit
able to every merchant and business
man in the town. Sucn result is
inevitable.

bonds naturally found their way into
the treasury in pledge of national
banks notes issued.
In the depression following the
panic of 1907 the inelasticity of our
system is again shown. At the end
of May, 1908, the circulation even
showed an increase of SS,318,6l2 from
the unprecedented total reached at
the end of December, 1907. Though
there has been a slow and irregular
contraction since then, the total
stood in May of the present year
SS7, 900, 900 above the highest level
ever reached in that month during
any year prior to 1908.
AS the result of this study the
authoa concludes that under the ex-
isting system of bank notes based
upon government bonds, normal and
automatic expansion and contraction
of currency, in responfe to needs of
trade, is fatty impossible" He sees
''no remedy for this abnormal situa-
ton, except the substitution of some
other system for that which pre-
scribes the United States government

NEW YORK, June 14.-Frank
Owens. an aeronaut, had a wild
ride today when he attempted to
pilot a huge dirQibIe balloon over
New York in half gale. owen lost
control Of the dirigibIe and was at
the mercy of the wind, which
dashed the balloon and car against
various building. One hundred thou
sand people watched the mans
fight for life. He landed finally in
a tangle of wires in Brooklyn and
escaped serious injury.
Owens left Belleville, y. j., and
passed over Jersey City enroute to
New York. He crossed above sky
scrapers and sailing low. grazed the
roofs of the tall buildings. The aero
naut reached Park Row in safety
and then circled the flagstaff on the
city hall.
When he stopped his engines and
attempted to make landing Owens
lost control of the dirigible, which
became a winds plaything and ran
away. The gas bag bobbed up
quickly and crashed into chimney
on the city hall This destroyed the
machinery of the dirigible. Owens
leaped into the netting and tied the
rip cord" so that the calloon would
not become torn and lose its gas.
The wind carried the balloon on
a flight across Park Row. 1t mar
rowly escaped hitting the World
building and Brooklyn bridge
tower. owens meanwhile hung help
lessly to the netting of the car.
Finally the dirigible rose and was
carried across the East river to
