Marine Disaster.

Panama, Oct. 4.-No further details
have been received OF the sinking near
Point Jarachine, OF the Pacific Steam
Navigation Oompany's steamer Chiriqul
with the probable loss Of fifty OF the
crew and passengers. The tug Perico
reached the scene of the wreck today
but has not yet reported the result OF
its investigation.
The steamer Chile reached hero to-
day and was sent back to assist the
Perico in searching for possible sur
yivors.
The explosion on the Chiriqui is
unofficially declared to have been the
result of the use of salt water in the
boilers. This SO weakened the boilers
that they blew up when under forced
head OF steam. OF the more than
seventy persons who made up the crew
and passenger list, only % have been
reported as saved. The Chiriqui left
Panama September 81 southbound.
Thirteen Of the survivors reached Jara-
chine in life boat and reported that
another boat, in which were nine sur
viyors, put off from the doomed steamer.
No word has been received regarding
the second life boat. The Chiriqui
sank within few minutes after the
explosion.
Colon, Panama, Oct. 4.-Seyenty
persons persisted in the sinking
of the Pacific Navigation Company's
steamer Chiriqui following boiler ex-
plosion aboard, according to informa-
ton received here today from Jarachine.
The explosion occurred late in the af-
ternoon of September q, when the
vessel was 90 miles off Panama.
The stern of the vessel listed. and as
water swept across the decks, d life
boat was manned and lowered. A
desperate struggle among passengers
and crew for possession OF the boat,
caused q number OF persons to be push
ed overheard. So far as known there
were only about dozen saved. The
ships wireless rushed to his cabin at
the sound Of the explosion, but before
he could flash distress signal, the
Chiriqui had fatally listed.

Washington, Aug. 91.-President
Taft is advising Republican candidates
for Congress to promise the people
further tariff revision, schedule by
schedule, the basis of the revision to
be equalization of the labor cost of
production at home and abroad plus
a reasonable profit for American man.
ufacturers.
The platform on which Mr.. Taft was
elected, it is recalled, also promised
to equalize "the difference in the cost
of production at home and abroad" "
plus the reasonable profit.
Before considering new promises,
many voters will ask: Was the first
promise Kept? Let us see:
Taking woolens to begin with, Pres
ident Taft himself admits failure.
What about cottons? Was the cot
ton schedule revised on the basis of
equalization of "the difference in the
cost of production at home and

VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS
TAvENNER, "WRTER AND THINKER" GIVES US THE
FACTS THEY REALLY EXIST

are the answers to the following:
1. Why did President Taft co
operate with Aldrich Smoot, Lodge,
Guggenheim and other senators rep
resenting the special interests, and re-
fuse the counsel of men like LaFol-
lette and Clap?
2. Why did Mr.. Taft continue to
eulogize Ballinger after he had been
exposed and discredited in testimony
taken by committee of the Senate? l?
8. Why did Mr.. Taft interfere to
prevent Speaker Cannon from being
dethroned?
4. Why did Mr.. Taft as candidate
promise tariff revision downward, and
as President sign a bill revising the
tariff upward?
5. Why is the President seeking 80
industriously to bring about the de-
feat of LaFollette? Is 1t because La
Toilette sought to regulate the rail
roads or because he favored real
downward revision?

TWO EXAMPLES

Have you read about how the Dem
ocrats down in Georgia fixed two can
didates for congress-? Although Liy-
ingston had served in congress TWEEN
ty-two years, and Howard twelve
years when they came up for renomi-
nation at the Democratic primaries
they were defeated because they de-
serted the Democratic side and sup
ported Cannon in the fight over the
committee on rules last winter.
That's the way Democrats deal with
Cannon Democrats. And that is the
way Republicans dealt with Cannon
Republicans In the Old Colony" dis
trict of Massachusetts and the Roches-
ter district of New York last spring
Sull all of the Republican candi-
dates for congress in Ohio, except
Kennedy, pretend that they are lin
surgents against Cannon"
The right kind of insurgency Is that
which arises to defeat those who have
stood by Cannon in the past rather
than to take CHANCES on those who
promise to be against Cannon in the
future. This kind of insurgency
should elect every Democrat for con
gress in Ohio.

ANOTHER EXPERIENCE

Speaking of experience, there is
]. w. Zeller, present state school com
missioner. If your memory is good
you will remember that Cellar was
openly denounced on the floor of the
house during the last session of the
legislature, for lobbying. Represent
ative Woods (Rep.) of Medina coun-
ty declared during debate that Cellar
ought to spend more time in his office
attending to his official duties and
less time about the house and in the
galleries as a lobbyist. Representa-
tive Braun (Rep.) of Franklin coun-
ty denounced Cellar as a disgrace to
his party. After such experience"
Cellar is a candidate for reelection.
This is why Frank w. Miller of Mont
gomery county should be elected
State School Commissioner.

MADE TO ORDER

Worse and more of It, President
Taft's campaign letter, after being ex-
amined in New York, was returned to
him for important changes. If you
don't believe it read this paragraph of
the Dispatch sent out from Beverly
Aug. "a: president Tafts letter to
representative William B. Mckinley
Of Illinois, Chairman of the Republi-
can congressional committee which
was sent to New York Monday, was
brought back here today by Repre-
sentative II. c. Loudcnslager, Secre-
tary of the congressional committee.
1t was further scanned by the presi-
dent, Secretary MacVeagh, Mr.. Loud
enslager and Secretary Norton I'm
portant changes were made in the
document, and 1t went back to New
York tonight to be printed and sent
out to the press for publication next
Monday morning.
All of which shows that the Presl
dents campaign letter had to be made
satisfactory to Wall Street before it
was accepted for publication.
Still they talk of break between
Taft and Aldrich and about the can
ming Of Cannon by Taft. Are you
thick-headed enough to believe it?

the campaign that is being made "to
beat Harmon, Mr.. Huffman will doubt
less keep his eye on that plank of Mr..
Harding's platform which reads as fol-
lows: Graft is not partisan; neither
are grafters confined to any one polit-
ical party. The Republican party con
demns all forms of dishonesty and
corruption and believes in furnishing
the offender. We favor making the
penalty more severe"
How nicely that plank fits into the
refusal of Harding's campaign financ-
ier to permit an examination of the
books of his bank when Governor Har-
mon was searching for some of that
"non-partisan" graft.

Dlvertinu Attention.

The Taft RooseveltSherman side
show In New York has taken on re-
to a three-shell game. Just
at the moment the public thinks it un-
derstands the situation, and begins
to feel sure that Roosevelt will in
dorse Taft or that he will refuse to in
dorse him, the men managing the
show bring forth new interview
which as much as says to the public:
You see you We're wrong again; the
pea wasn't under that shell at all.
Guess again!"
The question has been raised in
some quarters as to whether the
Republican campaign managers are
not endeavoring to divert attention
from the more important issues of
the campaign.
The real Issue, 1t is being pointed
out, Is not whether Roosevelt Is or Is
not with Taft. Far more important

Insufficient Revenue.

The Payne-Aldrich law is failing to
produce sufficient revenue to meet the
expenses of the government. During
the first twenty-three days of Aug.
ust the expenditures exceeded the re.
ceipts by $5,277 ,1700S. This is ac,
cording to the statement issued by the
United States treasurer at the close
of business on the evening of Aug
80. In other words, the declaration
of the Republican leaders that the new
tariff law is producing sufficient rev
enue to run the government is entire
ly unfounded.

Queries for Protectionists.

In 1900 the American consumer of
sugar paid more than Q cents pound
in excess of the price paid by the Lon
don consumer. If the tariff was not to
blame for the different price, will
some Republican speaker or news
paper explain what was the cause?
Query No. 2. If the American con-
sumer does not pay the tariff on sugar
when he buys it at the grocery, who
does pay it and where is it paid?
Query No. 3. If the tariff on sugar is
paid by the consumer, is it not reas-
enable to presume that the amount of
the tariff on blankets, woolens, hard
ware, farm machinery and other pro
tected articles, is also paid by the
consumer?
