Money in Abundance.

The fact that the issue of $5ooooooo
of Panama Canal bonds offered by the
government has been oversubscribed
three times indicates that there is a
large amount of idle money seeking
legitimate and safe investment.
The response to the governments
offer is not confined 10 few individuals,
but is widespread. This is most graft
flying, not only as respects the conf
dence in the government, but also as
showing that there is no lack of money.
The premium which is offered is also
much larger than was anticipated
At the figures which the government
probably will accept, the bonds will pay
a fraction less than 8 per cent upon the
investment The millions which will
pour into the Treasury as the result
of the bond issue will be almost i'm
mediately disbursed to prosecute the
work on the canal, and thus will be
kept in circulation.

Canoeing in the Adirondack,,

From the New York Evening Post.
Every day the pleasure of canoe trips
through the Adirondacks, and the ease
with which they can be made, are facts
becoming known to a widening circle Of
those who plan to spend their vacation
in the woods In no other lway can
holidays be better spent; I'm no other
way can the beauties of the Adirondacks
be seen to such advantage. The charm
of such a trip is never to be forgotten
the canoe gliding silently through the
calm waters, the air redolent of balsam
and pine, the moonlight dancing on the
rapids, the noises of the woods at night
The canoeist may paddle through the
lakes, rivers, and streams of the Ad-
irondacks for weeks at a time. never
passing over the same water twice, visit
ing agreeable and comfortable stopping
places, exploring bays and creeks,
angling for trout and bass, camping al
most at will, and dipping with ease into
the real enjoyments of woods life.

The Statewide Primary.

From the Boston Advertiser.
The State of Massachusetts may now
prepare its mind for an experiment of
political revolution. The Statewide pri-
mary is essentially an experiment. 1t
aims at well-recognized abuses. The
question is not the existence of those
abuses, or the need for eliminating them,
but is whether this new plan, tried in
Massachusetts, will do what it is pro-
fessedly intended to do. 1t Is tolerably
certain that one effect of the law will
be to increase the opportunity, and some
times the necessity, for considerable ex-
penditures directly or indirectly associ-
ated with a campaign for office. The ex-
pense Of political activity is likely to
be so increased under the law that men
of small means may be crowded quite
out. The test will quickly be made. at
all events. Abandonment OF the referen-
dunn attachment to the bill was wise
politics and faii treatment. To have
thrown the whole thing forward to a
Presidential year for, its first test would
have Been demoralizfng. There is enthu-
siasm among those who have long urged
such a measure and those who have
been successfully active in support of
this specific bill. They may now turn
their enthusiasm to the problem Of help
ing the plan to work out sanely.

TWO CORONATION BURDENS.
Millions of Dollars to Be Expended
in Great Britain and India.
.h. Cqo-oI,pd

in Great Britain and India.
From the Cleveland Leader.
The cost of the crowning of King
George to the British imperial treasury
will be from $1,2J0,OOO to sI,5OO,OOO. 1t will
amount to about the years earnings of
1900 British wage-earners, taking them
as they come, skilled and unskilIed, the
kingdom through.
There will be some offset to this tax,
even for the wage-earners of the king
dom. Many visitors will bring a great
deal Of money to spend in England, at
tracted by the splendid show which is
being prepared. This inflow of gold from
other countries will stimulate business in
many lines and some share in the bene-
fits enjoyed will fall to the lot of the
workingmen and women OF the country.
Next winter the King is to visit India
and hold a magnificent durbar or state
reception in Calcutta. He will receive
the homage of the Indian princess and
magnateS as their Emperor.
The cost of this ceremony is expected
to be about &, 900, 900. II will take nearly
or quite four times as much money as
the coronation in England. And in In
dia II requires the pay of ten wage-earn-
ers to equal the wages of one working
man in England. The durbar at Cal
cutta will absorb the equivalent of the
yearly earnings of 2OO, 900 workers, more
or less, if all of the money has to come
from the Indian governments treasury.
Great Britain may pay part of it.
In India there will be no important
inflow of foreign sightseers spending their
gold freely. The native princes will do
most Of the spending and they will wiring
the money out Of the scanty store of
their subjects

More speed Record.

The old-fashioned steam railroad train
that runs along at fifty or sixty miles
an hour is getting jealous of the auto,
the ocean greyhound, and the aeroplane
Even the car on the interurban trolley
line alongside the railroad track tries
to run away from the steam-propelled
locomotive.
There is glory enough for all, how
ever, and the railway is trying to re-
tain some of its laurels. Last Sat-
urday there arrived in Chicago, from
Boston, merchants special, which
made the run from the Hub to the
Western metropolis in twenty hours and
twenty-five minutes. This is the best
time ever made between the two cities.
At one period the train made I4S miles
in I48 minutes This shows progress
iveness on the part of the magnates,
who realize the competition they will
have to face in a few years. With the
development of the pneumatic tube, they
will lose some of their former business
in freight and mail; with the improve
ment of country roads, the auto will
carry many of their former passengers,
and, last, but not least the aeroplane
will ere long put in a bid for some
of the sightseeing trips. 1t is well that
the railroads keep before the public the
fact that there is still room for i'm
provement in their manner of transpor-
tation. This age is too rapid to admit
that we have reached our limit, in speed
or otherwise.

NEED OF OUR INDUSTRIES.
Emancipation from Dependence an6
Reliance on Their Own Resources.

Emancipation from Dependence ana
Reliance on Their Own Resources.
From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
The policy of protection was adopted
at time when consideration was given
only to a growing domestic market in
which in most lines of manufacturing
production the demand greatly exceeded
the means of supplying it. The purpose
was to stimulate the development Of
home industries by protecting this mar
ket against the competition of old sstab-
lished industries in other countries, and
to enable them to get profits which would
attract capital to them and accumu-
late capital for them. This necessarily
meant high prices and a tax upon indus
tries native to the country which could
develop without this help and bear the
cost of fostering the infants into growth.
There was an excuse for this policy dur
ing the stage of multiplying and diver
styling the industries of a young and
growing country. which needed to do
more at home for supplying the varied
wants of its people and to depend less
upon the labor and capital of other coun-
tries
But the infant industry era passed
through a long period of importing for
eign capital and labor instead of their
products and accommodating capital and
skill Of it own, and now the excessive
profits go to fattening trusts and en-
riching the few who control industrial
operations, instead of building up need
ed industries and diffusing general bene-
fits. Protection it not needed for its
original purpose, iand is serving an en-
tirely different purpose, which is not
for the country's good. Most of the
industries of the United States are full
grown and able to take care of them
selves, and in many lines they have
been stimulated to a production which
far exceeds the domestic demand in
average times.
American industries have had too much
pap and stimulant and have a tendency
to be fiabby and inert in the midst of
the worlds greatest opportunities. The
brain and Drawn and spirit of matured
energy are what they want now to meet
competition at home and abroad with
equal sturdiness

The Lake Michigan Training school,

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
The opening of the great naval training
station on Lake Michigan is a reminder
to the general public that under modern
conditions some of our best seamen come
from inland States. Admirable gun
pointers have developed from among boys
enlisted from Iowa. The lads of the
Prairie State have a keen desire to see
the world that impels them to apply for
enlistment at naval recruiting Offices.
They are cordially welcomed. because

many things. The naval commander is
frequently q country lad. Farragut was
born in Tennessee and Dewey in YER
mont, but it must be allowed for the
former that he inherited his love for
the ocean, his father having been an
officer in the Spanish navy when that
marine was no bad school.

From Journal Of the American Medical Association.
Hundreds of nOstrum vendors, when

had to discard their ''sure-cure'' labels
because DR.. Wiley held that the law
prohibited lying "in any particular" Now
they can resurrect their old stock and
send out their preparations labeled with
the same unblushing falsehoods that were
so common before the advent of the pure
food law. Every ''cancer-cure" faker,
every "consumptiOn-cure" swindler, every
medical humbug of any kind or descrip-
tion can now resume his miserable trade
with feeling Of perfect security, pro-
viding he is careful to make no mis-
statement regarding the composition of
his wretched fraud. And he is not re-

public health. AS 1t now stands. 1t fails
TO. protect the public in a most vital
particular, namely, against the cruelty

school Of swindlers. The law should be
changed at the very earliest moment
so that it shall specifically prohibit every

to prohibit lying regarding medicines and

The Pullman COMPANY Liable.

The travelling public will be intensely
interested in the decision of Judge Hay
maker, of Pittsburg, in the suit which
was brought against the Pullman CON-
pany by a resident of that city. The lat
ter lost handbag containing Jewels and
other valuables to the amount of $4,000
while travelling upon Pullman car be-
tween Pittsburg and New York and
sued the company to recover the amount
In holding the company liable for the
loss, Judge Haymaker has laid down a
principle which will insure better pro-
lection for passengers upon Pullman
cars in the future Up to the present
time the abstraction of property upon
these cars has generally resulted in a
great deal of correspondence without
redress. The victim of the loss was
compelled to suffer, even though he
might have been innocent of negligence.
Inasmuch as the judge declined to
grant the prayer of the counsel for the
company to have the verdict set aside,
it may not be possible for further. iiti-
cation in this particular instance. The
decision is in line, however, with the
attitude of the courts in similar cases,
so that the question Of the liability Of
the Pullman company may be considered
as settled.

The Silver Wedding.

The congratulations of the entire
country will be extended to-day to Mr..
and Mrs. William Howard Taft, upon
the celebration of the twenty-ffth an
niversary of their wedding.
To the thousands who will take pleas
ure in personally meeting the President
and his wife there must be added the
ninety million people whose hearts will
beat in kindly sympathy and whose
good wishes will, like a benediction,
rest upon the heads of the devoted
couple. For, upon an occasion like
this, It pleases the American people to
forger for moment the high position
of the President and his wife and re-
gard them as ideal citizens, who cherish
the sanctity of the home and glorify
the family relation. 1t means much for
the republic when We can turn aside
from business and politics and the pur-
suits of everyday life and celebrate the
happy completion of quarter of a
century of married life.
1t was gracious and thoughtful on
the part of Mr.. and Mrs. Taft to re-
member those who are related to pre-
vious Presidents. This gives the affair
a unique distinction 1t was also char
acteristic of the President and his wife
to invite as many as possible to share
with them the pleasure of the occasion.
With sincerity and heartiness these
friends will wish them many, many
years of welded happiness in the future
and express the hope that prosperity
and joy may ever be their abundant
portion

Not a Gambling Nation.

The President of the Panama re.
public has issued an edict against poker
playing upon the isthmus, Col Goethals,
the engineer officer in charge. of the
construction of the canal, having de-
cided that the losses which the men
sustain make them dissatisfied with
their conditions.
This incident serves as a reminder oi
the fact that this country has made
great progress in eradicating the gam
bling habit Within the memory of the
present generation, conditions existed in
Washington which would not be toler-
ated for a moment at the present time.
Gambling houses hourished openly and
without question. To-day, it would be
impossible to establish public gambling
resort, and even the few instances OF
secret violation of the law are speedily
discovered by the police authorities.
Betting on horse racing has been en-
tirely abolished, not only hers, but in
many other cities. and the number Of
men and women who indulge in card
playing for money is. after ali, very
small proportion of the entire popula-
lion.
As a matter Of fact We are not a
gambling nation. The lotteries which
in the early days Of the republic were
countenaneed and which still flourish IN
European countries have disappeared.

The value Of Being a waiter.

Some idea of the extent Of the tip.
ping evil is shown by the testimony ir
divorce case in New York, where the
wife of French waiter testified that
he received from $40 to 500 a week in
tips. The man was employed in res
taurant which is almost unknown and
where the average amount spent by each
patron cannot be very large Notwith-
standing this, he makes from $4,000 to
$1,000 year from their contributions
more money than the ordinary man can
make by constant work Government
,clerks, for instance, might not like to
be walters, but the government clerk
who receives $4,000 or $1,000 a year is
very nearly at the summit of the pay
roll.
The case of a waiter IN a German
restaurant in this city who, in less than
three years, was able to accumulate a
sum equivalent to fortune in his own
country, and who returned to live in
ease and comfort for the rest of his
days, is well known. in the high-class
and expensive cafes in New York the
amounts received by walters in the form
Of tips must be almost beyond belief. In
the meantime, however, the nuisance
continues without abatement The dimes,
quarters, half dollars. and dollars which
fall into the outstretched hand of the

golden stream, and as long as the pub
lie is willing to pay tribute it will con-

other Roosevelts besides Theo-
dore have been noted for stren-
uousness. Nicholas J. Roosevelt
was one OF them. He flourished
in the early years of the nine
teenth century, and may be
called the father of steam navi-
CATION in the West. In 1911 he
made voyage on fiatboat from
Pittsburg to New Orleans, to as
certain whether steam could be
used as motive power on the
Ohio and Mississippi. Everybody
discouraged the idea. but on his
return, with the aid of Fulton and
Stevenson, he built steamboat
to try it out. The boat was
called the New Orleans, and
cost about Sss.00O. With his
wife and q small crew he ems
barked at Pittsburg amid the
plaudits Of thousands. People
said II was all right going down,
but the boat could never be made
to go up the river. At Cincip-
natl he took some people aboard
for little ride. and scared them
nearly to death by letting the
boat drift toward the Falls OF the
Ohio. Suddenly reversing the
engine, he took the boat up
stream three or four miles. to
their greet relief and delight.
The voyage was a great successD
and the forerunner OF many more. .
