President Taft finds it easier to
guess when the Panama canal will be

Works Both Ways.

President Taft was angered be-
cause Congressman Littleton, of New
York, spoke in condemnation of the
Sherman law at the same banquet at
which he himself was to speak'in it's
defense. If the President had pro-
tected the dignity of his office, by re-
through the west, his displeasure at
Mr.. Littleton's action might have
been in better taste. But he had
just travelled 1920 miles; been seen
by nearly five million people, and
made 306 speeches, to an aggregate
audience of approximately 1,555,000
people. Apparently the president de-
sires that only his side of public
questions should be heard If the
President chooses to go on the
stump, he must not expect that he
can do all the talking himself. The
concensus of opinion is that if the
dignity of the office of President was
not injured by Mr.. Taft in making a
political speech, while a guest at
banquet, it was not injured by Mr..
Littleton on the same subject dis
cussed by the president

"Protection," said a famous states

the factors that have contributed to
the colony of mushroom millionaires

tective tariff. A majority of the

 Washington, July 20-Under the di- rectlon of an expert of the Smithson- ian Institution, an attempt is being made along the banks of the Panama Canal to prevent further slides by planting grass seed. Announcement of the experiment was made today by officers of the Isthmian Canal Com mission.
 A special variety of seed, developed by the Agricultural Department after long study and experimentation, is be- ing used. It is hoped that the roots of the grass will form a network hold- ing the soil in it's position
 Most of the planting will be done In the Culebra cut, where trouble has been experienced with slides of earth into the big ditch. Engineers declare the slides due to the fact that the layer of soil is very thin, and rests upon smooth rock ledges

Pauline Wayne u,-officially designated as the milk producer for the President and his family,-has just been housed in a brand new stable fitted up with every modern convenience.
 The stable itself is situated at con- venient distance from the White House grounds, where Pauline is let to pas ture, so that she will not get unduly tired traversing the distance twice a day.
