The Farmers to the Bat.
burlington News.)

The cotton farmers have deter
mined to hold their cotton for IA
and Is cents. The tobacco farmers
propose to hold their tobacco for a
higher price. They are busy effect
ing their organizations to this end.
And if they are careful and business
like they will perfect an organization
that will enable them to carry out
these determinations.
The fact is that labor and farm
machinery has advanced to such an
extent that farmers must have these
prices or they can make no money.
The manufacturer places the prices
on his goods in keeping with the cost
of production, and if he can't get
these prices, he stops business until
prices go up or else he holds his prod
ucts for better prices, and there is
no reason why the farmer should not
do the same.

What Worried the Old Man.

A peculiar instance of connubial af-
lection occurred some time ago in
Vermont. An aged couple, who
through half century of married
life had wrangled with each other,
were in all probability soon TO be
separated Tue husband was taken
i'll and was believed to be near his
end. The old wife came to his bed
side, and after carefully examining
and taking stock of his condition,
exclaimed "Well, daddy, your feet
are cold, your hands are cold and
your nose is cold
"Wa'ai, let 'em be cold"

Canal PASSAGE
Honolulu Commercial Bodies TO
Take Up Movement For
American Shipping

Commercial bodies of Honolulu will
take up for consideration within the
next few days the movement on the
part of Pacific Coast shippers to Sc
cure free tolls for American vessels
passing through the Panama canal.
With the facts brought home that
free tolls for American vessels will
save thousands of dollars annually to
shippers from Hawaii the CONNER
cial bodies have become interested
On the Pacific Coast the movement
for American ships free" has grown
to remarkable strength. The lumber
interests, always active and alert,
were the first to see the advantage of
having American bottoms pass thorugh
the lsthmian cut without charge A
few days ago the Pacific Coast Lum-
ber Manufacturers Association. one
of the strongest commercial bodies in
;he country. endorsed resolution to
make United States ships immune
from canal tolls, and the Oregon and
Washington Association followed suit.
The movement now includes many
other bodies, and the Pacific Coast
GCtegations To congress are being
pledged to wok for the free passage.
The matter of canal tolls is still
undecided President Taft is in fav-
or of either allowing American ships
to pass free or charge small toll
only, but this plan will have determ-
ined opposition from the big trans
continental railroads. If the plan is
carried out, the roads will have to cut
their tariffs to meet the water COM
pc 'ition.

were awakened by the sound of rush

First to Awake.
Mr.. Merrill was one of the first
awake. He heard the growl of the
tide and thought at first he was at

bows of a ship. He soon realized that
he was home and in bed and that
something unusual was going on out

taken away from their accustomed
places and CARVED some distance
down streams where they were book

All the morning the water continued
to rise and was flowing two feet over

winds and sometimes even heavier
rains, but not for many seasons has
so much damage to property in and

This is a record breaker for twelve

less he returns. If his seat is de-
clared vacant, Senator Quinn thinks

ed soon. There are several Demo-

I go through the canal free of the ex-
ira charge that would arise from
toll Tho canal is TO be opened in
1915, and the Sugar Factors Asso-
citation is already planning to send
sugar that way
At the same time, the trans-contin-
entail freight rates will be cut to meet
the new competition, and all carriers,
either across the continent or through
the canal will be directly affected.
President Il. o. White, of the Mer-
chants Association, said today that
he will bring the matter up before
the next meeting. at Is of Immediate
importance" said Mr.. White. "and
will certainly be felt here in the ISL
ands"
The canal-toll proposition is still
pending before congress and will be
thrashed out in the next few months.
The movement on the coast Is to ex-
press the sentiment of the big i'm
dustries in favor of free passage for
American ships and thus also encour-
age American shipping.
IL the measure proposed becomes
low or established regulation of the
Government. the cost of moving
freight from the Pacific to the Allan
tic. or vice versa would be reduced
anywhere from 80 cents to $3.50
ton. 1t is also figured that the in
fiuence of this reduction would not
be felt alone on the water-borne traf-
fic through the canal but would be
directly effective upon the transcon-
tinental freight rate of the railway
lines. Just what the aggregate saw
ing to shippers and consumers would Z
be under these circumstances is not
estimated but it is roughly placed at I
tens of millions of dollars annually
