THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.

As everyone knows, C. w. Post Of
Battle Creek Michigan. is not only a
maker of breakfast foods but he is a
strong indivldualist who believes that
the trades unions are menace to the
liberty of the country.
Believing this, and being a "natu-
ral-born' scrapper for the right, as he
sees it, Post, for several years past.
has been engaged in a ceaseless war
fare against the Labor Trust" as he
likes to call it,
Not being able TO secure free and
untrammeled expression of his opinions
ON this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he is accustomed to
for the telling of his Postum story"
and he has thus spent hundreds Of
thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades unionism.
AS q result of Posts activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations; how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they OBJ
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold up
manufacturers. graft upon their own
membership and rob the public. Nat
urally Post is hated by the trades
unionists and intensely.
lie employs no union labor. so they
can not call out his men, and he defies
their efforts at boycotting his products
The latest means of getting" Post is
the widespread publication of the story
that a car which was recently wrecked

being shipped from the south TO Posts
establishment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
President John Fitzgerald of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor. who. il is
said, stated it publicly as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitzgerald

aids statement as "a deliberate false
hood. an underhanded and cowardly

PANAMA CANAL As AN INVESTMENT.

Considerable doubt is being ex-
pressed just now as to whether the
Panama Canal will prove to be COM
merciallya paying investment, and
in series of articles, which have
recently been published, Admiral
Evans, proceeding along several
rather formidable lines of argument,
is apt to leave, It the first reading,
a depressing conviction that this great
national undertaking can never be
self-supporting.
On the other hand, there is the tact
that other great canals, such as that
at Suez and the one which has made
Manchester seaport, where, during
their construction, the subject of
similar dismal forebodings. Yet Suez
has proved to be one of the most
profitable commercial undertakings
in the history of the world; and the
Manchester enterprise, in spite of
the few lean years of its earlier
operation, is now accomplishing all
and more than was promised.
1t is well to remember, moreover,
that the admiral's pressimistic view
of the future is based upon a COM
parison of the sailing distances be-
tween certain trade centers via the
two canals, and he assumes that un-
less the distances via Panama are
shorter than those over the present
routes, the new water way will be
powerless to divert existing trade
from its present lines of sailing.
Now, although the principal as here
laid down is broadly correct, it should
not be forgotten that the connecting
of the two great oceans is certain to
materially affect the trade conditions
along the whole stretch of both the
Atlantic and Pacifcseaboards of North
and South America. Indeed, the
cutting of the canal may so enlarge
the trade and importance of certain
of the maritime cities as to render it
eSpedient for shipping which at
present uses the Suez Canal route by
way of the Panama Canal.
But we should Judge of the value
Of the Panama Canal rather from the
military than the commercial point
of yiew-a fact which IS well under
stood at Washington, where undoubt-
edly it acted as the compelling motive
in urging Congress to undertake this

behind him, receiving 4l4 votes. The
next most popular preference for the
Democratic presidential nomination
is Theodore Roosevelt, who received
l59 votes, leading such Democrats as
Ex- Governor Folk Of Missouri, who
received 9s votes, Governor Marshall
of Indiana, who received 81 votes,
Champ Clark, minority leader of the
house, who received ~ votes, and
Mayor Gaynor of New York, who re-
ceived 81 votes, President Taft, who
received 81 votes, and Governor
Hughes of New York, who received !
vote, were evidently preferred by
some Democratic editors to members
of their own party.
The result of the poll clearly indi-
Gates the tremendous growth of the
Harmon movement. Governor Har-
mon stands out boldly in the mass
of figures which were counted and
tabulated last night. Outside of the
Bryan vote, Which is believed in
many cases to be complimentary, he
stands ar ahead of all the other
prospective candidates. There are
none outside of Bryan who even near
ly approach him. In the western
states Bryan received 367 votes to
Harmon's S4a. In the eastern states,
however, Governor Harmon received
7s votes to Bryan's 81. In Ohio,
Harmons received IO5 votes to Bry-
ans &c.
In the western states, 12I editors
favored Roosevelt, and in the eastern
states IS favored him. Next to
Roosevelt, former Governor Folk of
Missouri makes the best showing, re-
ceiving Sc votes in the west and sew
en- in the east. Governor Marshall
received so of his 81 votes in Indiana.
Champ Clark received SO votes in the
west, of which "a came from Mis-
souri, and only two votes in the east,
which came from Pennsylvania.
Mayor Gaynor of New York, who
was supposed to be making Roadway
as presidential factor, received only
la votes in the western states, but
one in Massachusetts,, two in Con-
necticut, but II in New York, six in
New Jersey, three in Pennsylvania
and one in Delaware. In New York
Governor Harmon was preferred over
Bryan or Gavnor.-Gallipolis Bulle-

stupeudous work. That I4.Ooo-mile
trip of the battleship Oregon" dur
ing the Spanish war was an object
lesson, the significance of which has
never been forgotten. The opening
of the canal will render the whole
naval force of the United States
available in either ocean. In its
ability to strike rapid and decisive
blow at any threatened point along
the whole of the United States sea-
board, the efficiency of our feet will
be practically doubled; and the fact
that the whole navy can in few
weeks time be assembled in the
Pacific Ocean will enormously in
crease the naval prestige of the
United States in the Orient. and
must inevitably tend to preserve the
peace in those great Oriental ques-
tons which begin to loom so large on
the diplomatic horizon. So long as
the Isthmus of Panama exists as a
barrier between the Atlantic and
The Pacific, we must build at least
battieships where otherwise we would
build two, and the first cost of con-
struction and the heavy cost of
maintenance and operation will far
exceed any temporary or even per-
manent deficit which may develop in
the operation of the canal as COM
mercial venture.
Meanwhile, under the administra-
ton of that most efficient body, the
Corps of Engineers of the United
States Army, the execution of the
work is proceeding with rapidity
which is in pleasing contrast to the
confusion and disappointment which
mark the earlier years of American
occupancy and in the series of strik-
ing illustrations of the work, which
in present issue, we are enable to
give our readers an adequate impress
sion of the magnitude and solidity of
the permanent works, the most
monumental concrete structures ever
attempted.-Scieatifc American.

1t is said an attempt will be made
to face the situation by ignoring the
schedules and proclaiming the prin-
ciple of protection.
That would amount to nothing in
a campaign such as this will be this
autumn.
1t would be as silly as the ostrich
thrusting its head in the sand and be-
lieving it was in hiding.
The tariff law is on the statue book.
1t was placed there by the Repub-
lican party in compliance with the
platform plank demanding revision.
That law represents as it stands to-
day the part, 5 view of protection.
If that law is not popular it is the
party's blundcr and the party's mis-
'oIIuLS, ot1 Us paternity cannot De
denied.
President Taft has said it was
the best tanf law ever enacted. =
Whether it brings victory or de-
feat it does not seem possible for the
text of the campaign to be anything
else than the schedules of that tariff
law and their effect upon the inter
ests of the voters.
If the Republican party favors
different kind of protection that law
should not have been enacted.-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.

The best way to build up a city is
for each and every man in it not to
strive to rend and tear down. When
ever man in the town is doing well
do not try to tear him down. All
the residents ola town are partners
not opponents. In all likelihood the
more business done by your rival the
more you will do. Every gentleman
who treats his customer honesty,
courteously and fairly, will get his
share, and the more business that
can be secured by united efforts.
the better it will be for all. When
town ceases to grow it commences
to die, and the more the people try
to kill off each other in their business
and good name, the more rapidly
will utter ruin come to all. Stand
together for the advancement of
every citizen. ia man shows ability
10 prosper do not pull him back
with Jealousy or weigh him down
with cold Indifference.

GOVERNOR WON'T INTERFERE.

After he had carefully reviewed the
evidence introduced in the trial court
Governor Glasscock to-day decided
that he would not interfere with the
sentence of death imposed upon John
Medley, colored man, confined in
the death annex at the penitentiary
under sentence to be hanged on Fri.
day, April 5, for the murder ofNeIIy
Shannon.
Both the trial court and the su-
preme court of appeals stated that the
murder Was brutal one, the only ex-
tenuating circumstances being that
Shannon bore bad reputation and
was shot down while attending a
negro festival. Shannon was white
man.
