President Taft Again.

On another page in this issue will
be found an abbreviated report of
President Taft's message read to
congress yesterday. We have not had
the opportunity to read it thoroughly
enough to offer comment on it at this
time. 1t is plain enough for the
reader to understand and approve or
disapprove as his judgment dictates.
We wish to refer at this time to an
authorized interview published in
last weeks issue of The Outlook 1t
will be remembered that a few weeks
before The Outlook published a
signed editorial by EXPIRES. Roose-
welt attacking President Taft's anti
trust policy, more properly an at
tack on the present law be-
cause Pres. Taft did not make the
law, he only enforces it. Pres. Roose-
velt's article has drawn much COM
ment as to Mr.. RooseveIt's political
plans, all of which was guess
work and some of it very silly guess

Shipping for the Canal.

We are glad to print another view
of the Panama Canal commerce. 1t
will be remembered that last week
we gave the story of man who
claimed that he was blocked by the
railroads in establishing a line of
ships to ply between the Atlantic and
Pacific ports through the Panama
Canal as soon as it was finished.
Now George S. Dearborn, president
of the American-Hawaiian Steam
ship Company, says in an interview
in the New York Commercial that
when the canal is opened his Com
pany will have twenty-three steam
ers. ensuring nine sailings a month
from New York through the Canal
to San Francisco, ready for opera
ton These will be fourteen-knot
cargo boats to handle freight only.
81 know" he says, "of two other
companies right here preparing for
it's opening, just as we are, and like
ourselves, they have not been fgur-
Ing Ou dAJ SuOSIuy' w Z dI Z CcAA ~ III 8
now 10000 tons of freight
a year, every one in ten
of which, should say, is
taken from the railroads, so that
it does not look as though we were
controlled by them, does it? We are
building five additional boats to in
crease our cargo capacity to 1901
600 tons and to fill those boats we
will have to reduce the present rates.
That is one of the objects of the
canal. That the rates can be reduc-
ed when once the canal is open is
seen to be reasonable when it is
understood that the freight which is
now carried by this company to the
Pacific coast is taken across the
Isthmus of Tehauntepec. Mails and
passengers, however, will doubtless
continue to go by rail, as now"
He explains the fact that the gov
eminent has received no bids for the
$750,000 subsidy offered to the fact
that siXteen-knot boats are required
by the government, really passenger
boats, and they cannot be made pro-
fitable as they would have to charge
passengers from 1925 to $3.50 a pas
sage from New York to San Francis
co and require from fourteen to
eighteen days for the passage while
the railroads will carry a passenger
from one city to the other in six days
for SIS. Of course profitable pas
senger business under those circum-
stances is impossible but all will be
pleased to see that the canal is likely
to secure more favorable freight
rates between the eastern and west
ern seaports of this country.

The McNamaras Confession.

The confession of James B. Nc
er in the first degree in causing the
explosion in the plant of the Los
Angeles Times, which killed twenty
one people and of John J. McNam-
ara that he dynamited the Llewellyn
Iron Works in the same city on
Christmas day, 1910, were the most
sensational news developments of
the past week. These confessions
brought to an end two trials that
promised to become historic and
which had been in progress since
Oct. IL, without even filing the jury
box Every laboring man identified
with labor organizations had contri-
buted a part of his meagre wages to
defend these two men in the courts
and, if the allegations of the defense
that they caught detectives in the
employ of organized labor bribing
men who have been summoned to
serve as jurors are true, openly try
ing to defeat justice. These acts as
well as the horrifying crimes for
which these men were indicted gave
to the case unusual interest and a
national Importance.
The confessions were made for
one purpose-an attempt to escape
the maximum penalty for their
crime. Knowing their guilt and
knowing that the only offense Of
their victims was refusal to ally
themselves with organized labor,
they maintained silence while tri-
butte from organized labor was be-
ing levied. The enormity of the
crime they had committed did not
loosen their guilty tongues but
when the web of evidence had been
drawn SO tightly that they saw no
possibility of escape, they spoke in
the hope of obtaining mercy Their
chief counsel, Clarence S. barrow,
said: HE was counseIled to confess
because it was the best thing he
could do. I've studied the case for
months. 1t presented a stone wall"
This frank confession shows con-
clusively that the confession was
only an effort to escape the conse-
quences of one of the most brutal
and uneXcusable slaughters of limo
cents in the history of the country
Before this appears in public the
court will have pronounced SEN
tence. But without knowledge of
what the sentence is we state that
to our minds their confession does
not Justify any mercy for them.
The work of these two men has
injured the cause of organized labor
more than anything else that could
happen. Organized labor is not
bad, it has many deserving purpos-
es; it has accomplished much good;
it has in its ranks much good citi-
zenship and it generally desires
law and orderS but the McNamaras
have brought a disgrace upon it
that will require years of patient
and honorable effort to efface 1t
deserves sympathy in its predica-
ment and all will hope that it will
work itself forever free from the
baneful and disastrous influence of
the McNamaras.

Speaking of hotel sites, it should
be remembered that every practical
hotel man who has been in ST..

perhaps it would pay better to fol-

Twenty murders have been

Twenty murders have been COM
mitted in Vermont within the past
year and only one murderer recon-
mended for execution. Isn't it true
that Vermonters have become toe
sentimental over the protection OF
murderers and too Indifferent to the
protection of law abiding citizens?

The selection of Sen. Max l..
Powell of Burlington as one of the
speakers at the new hotel meeting
of the Commercial club, was one of
the most fortunate selections the
club has ever made in speakers. Mr..
Powell has just passed through one
of the most difficult fights in the
history of Vermont to build new
hotel in Burlington. He ventured
time and money where most men
would have shown the white feather
and having ventured fought to the
end. He has not only succeeded in
his fight but his new hotel is a real
success. His experience gives him a
high appreciation of Vermont OPP
portunities and his hard earned sue
cess has filled him with enthusiasm.
These two things enabled him. to
give one of the most hopeful and
helpful addresses that has been
heard in St. Johnsbury for years.
The hotel proposition is the most
tangible it has ever been and there
is good ground for the hope it will
be constructed. If it is built, and
it must be now, st. Johnsbury peo-
pie will be indebted to Max L.
Powell for opening their eyes and
enthusing them with spirit of con-
tidence that made it possible.
