CANAL SHIPS AND NAVY

4 highly interesting turn is given to
the discussion Of preparations for the
use of the isthmian canal by the an
nOuncement of a recommendation in
the forthcoming report Of the Secretary
Of the Navy TO the effect that the supply
feet Of the canal shall be maintained
by the government and that the vessels
shall be adapted for use as naval auxil-
iaries in case Of war. Ii is obvious that
a number Of cOlliers, refrigerator ships
and freighterS will be constantly needed
for carrying supplies TO the government
engineers, labOrers and others employed
on the canal. This service might be left
To private enterprise. But at present it
is being done by the government with
its own ships, and Mr. Meyers pro-
poSal is that the government shall con-
tinue the present system, building for
the purpose a feet Of vessels designed
for possible use as naval auXiliarieS.
This proposal has much 10 commend
it. not the least part being the resulting
freedom of the canal from strikes \

cause a disastrous shortage of essential
supplies. especially Of coal. at the 18TH

government line. and if il did the gov

IL i'm short order The canal must GER
tainly be secured as completely as pOs-
sible against interruption or cmbarrass-
ment Of any kind, and the surest way
FOR that TO be done is through having
the government itself not only operate
and guard the canal, but also manage
the transportation Of essential supplies.
4 further suggestion may not be eX-
pressed in the Secretary's report, but
will arise in the minds Of many Of his
readers. namely, that If private enter
prise does not promptly provide for
through lines of steamers To both NOrtn
and South Pacific ports by way Of the
canal. and the government, as already
suggested. is compelled 10 do 50 itself,
the vessels for that service might also De

be thus enrolled on the navy list This
country has already enrolled private
merchantmen as auXilaries, and Great
Britain has done 50 on much larger
scale. Great Britain, japan. Germany
and Peru are now arranging for through
steamship lines from ocean 10 ocean by
way Of the canal and it Is probable that
Italy. Austria-Hungary and Chill will
do the same and some Of their ships
will be equal 10 the best Atlantic liners.
TO compete successfully with them the
United States will need first class ships;
precisely such as, from their size and
speed, would be valuable as naval auxil-
iaries. That is a consideration which
will probably have much weight II the

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Literary and musical circles will be re-
lieved to learn that the poetic gem Dear
Midnight OF Love" by the Hon. John
Coughlin, Chicago alderman, Is not to
perish with the "bathhouse" statesman.
As sung by "Bathhouse John" It is to be
preserved for future generations in a
phonograph record. When the alderman
learned that the Chicago Historical So
ciety had decided to get together a COL
lection OF canned" utterances OF famous
Chicagoans he saw the opportunity TO
slip * over" on fate and fame and Sc
cure niche for himself as a poet which
not even death could remove The i'm
mortal lines run: Dear midnight of love,
why did we meet? Dear midnight of love,
your face is so sweet; pure as the angels
above, surely again we shall speak; low
ing only az doves, dear midnight of love. -
Mrs. Howard-And so two Of your sons
are Boy Scouts? Where do they do most
OF their reconnoitring?
Mrs. Coward-In our refrigerator.-Life.

rs BUSINESS BADf

Is business bad or do many persons
merely think so? Complaining Is apt
TO become a habit During periods or
industrial depression men accustom
themselves to looking blue and to say
ing that everything is going to the dogs
and when untoward conditions pass
such lamentations may prove the chlel,
perhaps the only, obstacle TO renewal
of general prosperity. AS matter OF
fact, many travelling statesmen report
that while their customers are tmld
and will not venture TO place single
orders Of normal size, they are supple
menting small orders by calls for addl-
tional shipments sufficient TO bring the
total up to normal.
There may be something fundamen-
tally wrong with the trade Of the coun-
try. but the figures do not show 1t. AS
we showed on Monday, bank clearings,
railroad earnings and sales Of jobbers
and manufacturers all show improve
ment. Then what ails business, II 1t Is
not that business men have acquired a
habit of complaining that frightens
their customers and makes smaller mer-
chants and distributors timid? Is II
not time they dropped that habit? Is
it not time to recognize that rarely has
the business of the country been on a
sounder or a f1rmer basis? Crops are
good. There Is every reason to look
for big demands from the country dis
tricts. There are no failures Of mo-
ment, and there is little reason to ap-
prehend legislation which will affect
business adversely. Apparently all that
the situation requires Is A little stead
fast optimism.

some conscienceless miscreant devised
scheme diaboically calculated to dis
courage every man possessed OF a
wholly proper desire to wash his hands.
With the pretence of saving soap and
multiplying sanitary precautions, he has
invented and foisted upon an unoffend-
ing public an arrangement from which,
after ceaseless pumping for many pre-
cious minutes, an III smelling and
watery liquid can be extracted In lieu
Of soap.
Such tyranny has got to stop. Free
born American citizens will not forever
brook these impostions. Unless a halt
is called the people will rise in their
might and inventors will be drawn and
quartered by an irate populace.

FOLLOWING A BAD EXAMPLE

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The sufrragettes in London are fol
lowing in the footsteps OF the men wher
they demand an extension Of the suffrage
About the year 1890 my father took me tc
look at the damage the rioters had COM
mitted. Windows everywhere had been
smashed the iron railings that surrounded
the houses were torn from their positions
and lay strewn around. and large quanti-
ties Of furniture had been destroyed by
fire. The riots continued at intervals until
the suffrage was extended. The suffra-
gettes in London to-day only mildly re-
peat history and no doubt will ultimately
attain their demands

RINO VENTURIN1.
New York, Nov 25 1911.
We have never shared nor approved
the Incorporate and indiscriminate de-
nunciatons Of Italy which others have
maze. 1t has seemed to us a matter OF
regret that Italy began her war upon
Turkey with what certainly appeared to
be precipltancy and without taking pains
to make the reasons for her action con-
vincingly clear to the world. 1t Is, more
over, fact, we believe, that the war
was begun without the efforts to avoid
1t to which the signatories OF The Hague
treaty stand pledged. We should not,
however, approve censoriousness Of tone
toward Italy on the part of other nations.
because they also seem to have failed In
their duty OF offering mediation under
that same treaty. The best that can
now be done is to seek a speedy settle
ment OF the war, perhaps through the
very means which ought to have been
invoked for its preventlon.-Ed.l

regarded with incredulity. but 1t now
seems to be confirmed by the judgment
Of some Of the best naval experts. II 1t
is correct. 1t probably explains a num-

Senator La Toilette is interesting TO

quiet since the recent election in Jersey

to think that his talking days were over.
In the recent election In Jersey City Mr..
Record by his strenuous work in behalf
Of the Progressive Republican candidate

In the campaign. When the vote was

short time ago or just about The time
it was reported that Andrew Sorenson
suspicioned that there was something
crooked about the claiming of five head
of cattle at his place which he had
taken up last season under the estray
law.
The circumstances were something like
this: Two young men, supposed to be
Taylor and Smith, came to the Sorens0n
place in the spring to get the five head
of cattle taken up by Andrew Sorenson
last season. One of the young men
claimed to have authority for the Gar
Co" of Sentinel Butte to get the stock.
He left one head with Mr.. Sorenson for
keeping, giving a bill of sale for the
animal which he claimed to have the
authority to negotiate.
Later Mr.. Sorenson found the young
men around Belfield and inquiry brought
the information that there was no Gar
Co. known at Sentinel Butte. So he
presented the matter to States Attorney
Murtha and arrests followed.
Taylor is on the McCutchan place.
Smith. who had been around with
Taylor some, worked for j. L. Nc.
Cutchan in the Bad Lands last winter.
Mr.. McCutchan traded for two heaG
of the COWS which he afterwards SOLD
to butcher in Belfeld. He did not
suspect anything wrong until he heard
of Mr.. Sorenson's discovery when he
went to get Smith, as he considered
that he was the man who had put uu
the DEAL but Smith was nowhere to
be found.
