The Logical Point Loses the Panama
Exposition.

Congress voted the Panama Ex'
position in 1915 to San Francisco
inatead of New Orleans by a de-
c.sive majority of 20 votes. The
Ter IS now before tn" Senate
mere another fight is to be made
bur which we think is useless on
account of the powerful combined
railroad and political pressure
brought to bear in favor Of the
California city. Perhaps the
greatest factor in giving the vic
tory to Frisco was the backing OF
the great inter.continental rail-
road lines, which will find it more
lucrative for them to take the peo-
pie to California than it would
have been to Louisiana on ac-
count of the DISTANCE being much
greater. Next, the political in
fluence exerted a wonderful force
against New Orleans. California
can help the next Republican
candidate for President. President
Taft is said to have plunged head
long into the fight for the Cali.
fornians. The new Japanese
treaty now about to be submitted
and ratified by Congress, the i'm
mense capital of the East which
went to rebuild Frisco and few
other such influences, easily swung
the prize over to the Californians.
Against such odds there was
hardly any use to fight, but our
Louisiana delegation, from Gov
ernor Sanders down, made a game
and as daughty fight as could
have been made, and they deserve
the praise of every one for it.
There is some well-founded
talk of holding an exposition
anyhow in New Orleans in 1915,
with the cooperation OF the sew
eral Southern States, and if this
can be arranged all the supposed
losses Just sustained over the
failure to secure the Panama
show will be compensated and
repaid for we will boom the city
If New Orleans and the State will
get the trade from the Panama
Canal just the same.

Portugal fell, King Manuel II
was dethroned and new republic
in Europesdeelared. 1t is enough
for the old kings of Europe to sit
up and take notice. The hand of
democracy is knocking at the
gates of the palaces. She means
business. With the downfall of
monarchy in Portugal two sig
nificaDt statements were made.
First, that both parties were ut.
terly corrupt; and second, that
the young king was enamored
with q gay actress on whom he
lavished time and money.

The sentiment expressed by
Champ Clark in the Democratic
caucus, "We should never forget
that the best way to serve our
party is to serve our country"
was as wise as it was patriotic.
And it is pleasing to read the
evidence that the caucus was ap.
parently of one mind in the mat
ter. Mr.. Clark was chosen for
speaker by unanimous vote, a
deserved tribute to his states
manship and his faithfulness 10
the highest ideals of the Demo.
cratic party. Representative Un-
derwood, of Alabama, who was
named for chairman of the ways
and means committee, is a pro-
gressive Democrat Of staunchest
integrity and liberal views. His
Craftsmanship of the committee
which will have charge of new
tariff legislation insures capable
handling of the problem on honest
Democratic lines and the elimina.
ton of the festive "joker" so
painfully apparent, after passage,
in the Payne-Aldrich monstrosity.
The caucus voted almost UNI
animousIy to place the power of
of committees with
the ways and means committee,
thus evidencing the sincerity of
Democratic opposition to unlimit-
ed authority in the hands of one
man, no Latter how much he may |
be trusted and honored.

To patronage your home mer-
chants and industries is not only
patriotic and duty of good citi-
zenship. but it is to your personal
advantage, both financially and
sociologically. The truth is that
every dollar spent in your home
town will find its way back to
your purse. but the dollar spent
away from home is in all pro-
liability gone forever. The profit
on each dollar of business trans.
acted at home enriches the com.
munity to that extent and in
creases the value of property.

Other vessels, however, were getting

Washington, June 15.-The maiden
speech of Representative Victor Ber
ger of Wisconsin, the only socialist
member of congress, was the feature
of the dull days general debate in the
house on the bill for the revision of
the wooden schedule. Mr.. Berger sup
ported the bill on the ground that
1t would break down international bar
riers. Representatives Kahn of Cali
fornia and Moore of PENNSYLVANIA
spoke against the bill; Representative
Howard of Georgia and Cooke of
Ohio, in favor of it, While purposing
to vote for the pending Underwood
wool bill, Mr.. Berger, in his speech
declared that there is no such thing
as protection to labor in tariff bills
and that any such pretense was be-
cause workingmen have votes. He
said that the measure was of small
immediate concern to the working
class, meant no material change in
their condition, but he would support
the bill, because it is in line with So
cial and political evolution; tends to
destroy the old tariff superstitions
and to bring into closer relations the
peoples of the world"
He traced the history of the tariff
for the purpose Of showing that at all
times it was subsidy to the manu-
facturers and declared that the tariff
does not protect the workingman.
