The question Of tolls is one which

than 2la per cent on the S4O0.000Oea
which will have been paid out when
the canal is completed may be con
sidered so excessive by shipownerS
that they would not patrOnize the
canal. Experts figure that 2l5 per cent
on s4O0.O0o000 annually is what the
government pays for the vast sum
invested in tine canal.
Labor conditions have already given
the Panama officials much concern.
High class artisans are demanding a
wage increase based on increases
granted TO similar trades in this coun-
try. They put forward their demands
on the score of the higher cost of liv-
ing. President Taft has been inform
ed that high prices have not reached
Panama. with the single exception of
fresh meat. which has gone up q cent
a pound 1t is expected that wage
schedules will have been adjusted be-
fore the president leaves the isthmus.
President Taft will examine thor
oughly into the question of extended
Notifications. This subject will bear
directly on the form of government to
be adopted. Many of the officials now
in charge of the work are army men.
and it is known they favor a military
administration for the isthmus. Should
this be adopted it is believed that the
Panama railroad and the canal would
be amalgamated in so far as admin
istration is concerned: otherwise the
TWO highways would be established
sPFWrately.

several buckshot struck young Chew

The Point of View.

The world in which a man lives

which he looks at it, and so it proves
different to different men. To one it is
barren. dull and superficial: to another
rich, interesting and full of meaning
On bearing Of the interesting events
which have happened in the course of

wish that similar things had happened

France Has Run the Gamut.

No other modern nation has under
gone changes more frequent, more
radical. more sudden, bloody and dra-
matte. In forms of government France
has boxed the compass-has been
feudal. monarchial. imperial. repub-
iican and revolutionary. She has
sounded the depths of royal abso-
lutism and of communistic anarchy;
has made and unmade constitutions in
the pathetic effort to get one that
would fit: has known a military des-
potism which bluntly told the women
to marry and bear children in order
that Napoleon might be continuously
supplied with troops; has known an
absolute monarchy where a graceful
manner was more effective at court
than a head well filed with sense and
has known government of the rabble
under which there was an insurrec-
ton against property and death SEN

sin of wearing aristocratic names and
clean shirts.-From The Story of

SENATORS STAND
BY POPULAR VOTE
Mercer Candidates Will Respect the
Vote of the People of
the State.

Trenton, Nov. 2-The candidates
for State Senator of both of the great
political parties here in Mercer
County are pledged to vote for the
member of their party for United
States Senator who received the high
est vote of their party at the recent
primaries. With Senator Harry D.
Leavitt, who has been re-nominated
on the Republican ticket, his stand is

and admiration for former Gov. E. C..
Stokes. who was high man in the
tri-cornered fight for the Senatorial
Endorsement on the Republican side
Mr.. Leavitt is cashier of the Mechan-
les Bank, of which Mr.. Stokes is pres
ident.
Mr.. Leavitt declared himself on the
subject of the United States Senator
ship before the primaries in campaign
speeches. Yesterday afternoon his
rival, John A. Montgomery, who is a
prominent practicing lawyer of Tren-
ton, gave out statement on the sub
ject, declaring he would vote for
James E. MARITIME. the popular choice
OF the Democrats. He said:
mo matter what my personal
choice might be, if elected, I will be
bound by the wish of the voters who
nominated me at the primaries, and 1
know of no way of ascertaining their
wish other than as they have already
expressed themselves. 1 am their
servant; they have given their COM
mand; therefore it is my duty to
obey"
In his statement Mr.. Montgomery
also pledged himself to the extension
of the direct primary to candidates for
Governor and Congressman, an ade-
quate rate making amendment to the
public utility law, drastic corrupt
practices ace and an effective en-
ployers' liability law.

WHAT PRESIDENT
WHEN He

HWYHEN President Taft sails for
~ Panama he will break an old
rule that the chief executive
of the United States is never
to leave American territory. Techni-
cally he will not violate that precedent,
since be will sail on a United States
battleship. which is considered Ameri-
can territory. and presumably will set
foot only on the canal strip. which is
also American soil Thus he will not
fracture the ancient custom too vio-
lently. although he VIII leave the shores

Arrived at the isthmus. the president
viii find a recent slide in the Culebra
cut. which. however. is not believed
to be serious. He will also run into
a rather acute question as to coal sup
ply and is expected TO take steps to
prevent the government from being
jobbed by special interests.
The biggest question he will have to
consider. however. will be that of
fortifying the canal. By being on the
ground and examining the matter at
first hand he can size up the situation
better than he could more than 1000
miles away
The president will sail for the 18TH
mus Nov. II on the North Carolina.
President Taft will make a special
study of plans for the distribution Of
coal at the two terminals of the canal
In order TO prevent any monopoly Of
the sale Of coal He is determined
that private interests shall not seize
the monopoly. and TO this end. If the
forthcoming inspection warrants such
action. coaling stations will be estab-
lished by the government which will
supply not only war vessels. but ships
of commerce. President Taft believes
that the facts obtained should be en-
bodied in recommendations for presen-
tation to congress 1t the earliest pos
Sible moment.

BRAGA'S HUNDRED BOOKS.
New President of Portugal a volumi-
nous Author.


What the future has for Senior Bra
ga remains to be seen. In the past
the president of the Portuguese re-
public has devoted much of his time
TO literature. In the Catalogue OF
Printed Books" at the British museum
there are more than a hundred en-
tries to the name of Senior Theopolio
Braga.
1t is true that some of the works are
merely pamphlets. but others are Of
goodly dimensions. and one The His
tory of Portuguese Literature" ex-
tends TO fourteen volumes. The great
er part deals with matters purely lit
erary, such as the History of Roman
ticism" and the disputed authorship
of the second Don Quixote.'
Senior Braga's' attitude toward re-
ligion is formulated in studies of the
Middle Ages THE Poetic Origin of
Christianity and The Christian Leg
ends" But the volume that win ex-
cite most interest now is ''The History
of Republican Ideas In Portugal"
published in 1880. In it the author
foreshadows the creation of a great
occidental republic. federation of
France, Italy. Spain and Portugal.

Romantic Island OF Naples Has Had
Many Calamities.
The island of lschia. sixteen miles
southwest of Naples. that has been
storm swept and inundatAd by tidal
wave. has had many like yisitations in
the past The beauty and romance of
the island have been sung by Thomas
Buchanan Read: "
Here, Ischia smiles
Ger liquid miles
And yonder, bluest of the isles,
Calm Capri waits.
Her sapphire gates
Beguiling to her bright estates.
1schia is the largest of the islands
near Naples, being about nineteen
miles in circumference 1t has a pop
ulation of about 10000, principally en-
gagged in the cultivation of the vine,
while some of them are fishermen.
The scenery is very beautiful. and the
island is a favorite resort of tourists.
The entire island. it is said. may be
regarded as huge volcano: and it has
suffered frequent seismic disasters.
In consequence of one eruption it was
deserted in the fifth century B. c. by
the majority of its Greek inhabitants.
There were continued earthquakes in
Ischia in 1906. and such a panic re-
suited that the Italian governments
sent two warships to take the inhab-
itants away. The entire population
camped out for some weeks.
The island has had a stormy history
apart from the frequent natural disas-
ters. 1t was devastated by the Sara
Gems. the Pisans and the troops of the
Emperors Henry VI and Frederick III.
1t was to Ischia that Vittoria Colonna,
to whom Michelangelo's sonnets were
dedicated. retired to mourn her hus-
bands loss.

MORE PIGS
BY V. Guy Stambaugh, "a Student OF
Washington State College.

Much IS written nowadays on the
shortage Of pork in the United States
We all know that there is a regular
meat famine What we want to find
out is how to remedy this shortage
and guard against it in the future.
Owing to the record and UMPIRE
cedented high price paid for pork for
the past two years, not only has the
young stock been cleaned up but the
deplorable fact is that all of the good
old mothers have been sacrificed I'M
til we are left without breeding stock
enough for another good start.
To raise pigs we must have brood
sows, and to raise pigs profitably we
must have the best brood sows.
The best SOW is the SOW that will
give birth to and successfully raise
the greatest number of pigs per year,
and for the least money.
Among raisers of pigs it is general
Iy conceded that the bacon types are
the most prolific OF all breeds of
hogs the Tamworth are the most
prolific The average litter for the
Tamworth is ten live pigs to the lit
ter and they are all hustlers. They
will fight each other for the best tit
before they are a day old; they are
greedy fellows and viii Rustic a liv-
ing where the average hog will
starve.
Tamworths are the largest hogs in
existence. Amber King weighed 400
weighed 1850 pounds.
In the Buffalo Record of August
It, 1899, is recorded the killing in
England of a Tamworth boar under
three years Of age weighing alive
1907 pounds, and dressed 1880
pounds.
Admitting that the Tamworths are
the largest hogs and the most pro-
life, the next thing is will they make
as much gain from given amount of
feed as will be other breeds.
If the west is ever successful in
swine raising the raisers must
change to the type adapted to the
west.
Colorado is the nearest available
source of supply for Tamworths
