HEAVY TRAFFIC
OVER ISTHMUSES
500. 100000 WORTH OF MERcHAN-
Disc FROM U. S. SENT ACROSS
PANAMA AND TEHUANTE-
Pee IN 1911.

Practically 100 million dollars worth
of domestic merchandise from the
United states was transported across
the Isthmuses of Panama and Tchuan-
tepec in the fiscal year 1911 via the two
railway lines connecting, in the one
case. Panama on the Pacific with Co
lon on the Atlantic and, in the other
Salina cruz, the Pacific terminal, ana
Tehuantepec with Puerto Mexico on
the Atlantic.
Trans-isthmian traffic between the
eastern and western coasts of the
United states and between the east
ern ports of our country and Pacific
coast points in Central and South
America has greatly increased IN re-
cent years. In 1906 when the Panama
railway offered the only rail connection
via the isthmus between the Atlantic
and the Pacific coasts. the total trat-
nc amounted to about six million dol
lars. In 1907, on January l OF when
year the Tehuantepec railway became
available. the total was II million dol
lars; in 1908, AZ million dollars; in 1908

NO u. S. CIRCUIT COURTS.

In every state in the union will pass
out Of existence January l. a historic
court practically as old as the state
itself
on that day seventy-seven United
States civil courts will cease to do
business at 276 different places. The
elimination Of the circuit court is
one Of the reforms provided in the
new judiciary code, enacted by con-
gress March 3, 1911. The code pro-
vided after the latter date there should
be only the district courts, nine cir
cult courts Of appeal and United States
supreme court.
The existence Of circuit courts since
1891, when the circuit courts of appeal
were created. have been regarded as
expensive and supernuous. Twenty
nine Of the circuit judges will not lose
their jobs as they will continue to sit
i'm the circuit courts of appeal and help
out i'm the district courts.
All clerks of circuit courts will have
their positions abolished and the same
restrictions will be placed upon the
amount district court clerks may draw
as salary. Under the special law
clerks of district and circuit courts
in eastern Kentucky were entitled tC
$4,000 and fees for each place in which
either court sat As each court sat il
five different places, he was entitled t,
a salary Of 100000. il his fees amount
to that much Other clerks wer,
unusually favored by special lcgisla
ltion.
Hereafter it will be impossible 70
any clerk to receive more than $3,5OC
The passing Of the circuit courts is bu
one of the records of the new cod,
After January /, the chief justice o
the United States supreme court vii
receive $4,000 per annum and pc
associate justice $14.5OO.

SENATOR sMooT is RIeHT.

Senator Smoot sized up the situa-
ton correctly when he said yesterday
that the unsettled business conditions
Of the past two years We're brought
about by the muckrakers, the yellow
press and political demagogues. The
senator also showed an intimate
knowledge Of political affairs when he
said further that the coming Congress
win do nothing but play politics from
beginning to end.
Every recommendation made by
President Taft to Congress will be con-
sidered not as to whether its enact
ment into law would be a good thing
for the country, but for the effect it
would have on some individuals can
didacy for the presidency, or the re-
suit it might have upon the opposition
party's presidential candidate he
said.
I'VE must remember that the poll
teal fight now being made by insur-
gency is not for principles but for men
for office and political power.
In order that these objects may be
accomplished the gospel OF discomfort
must be preached. forms Of govern
ment changed, the constitution amend
!
ed and laws proposed for the purpose
Of favoring particular classes and spe-
| ciaI factions of the country with a
view to securing their votes. Political
speeches will be made and will pass
for no other purpose than to place the
Republican party and President tart
in a hole"

TAFT CAN STAND DEFEAT.

President Taft ADMITS he has made
some mistakes. one Of which was the
phraseology Of his winona speech, but
insists that his views on the tariff
have not undergone any change. that
he still believes in his tarif board
plan and i'm scientific revision. He has
taken a firm stand on the tariff and
trusts. and is satisfied to let the people
decide whether or not he is right But
that the president is big enough TO
stand defeat. il defeat be his portion
i'm the next campaign, is evident by
his comment in an interview publish
ed i'm the current issue of The outlook.
L am very grateful for the honors
the people have given me-" he SAYS.
Il do not affect to deny the satisfac-
ton I should feel If, after casting up
the totals pro and con, and striking a
balance. they should decide that my
first term had been fruitful enough of
good TO warrant their enlisting me for
another. Any man would be proud of
such a verdict But 1 have not been
willing. nor shall I be, to purchase ii
at the sacrifice of my freedom to dc
my duty as l see it. My happiness is
not dependent on holding any Office;
and I shall go back 20 private life with
no heartburnings If the people, after
an unprejudiced review Of my admin
istration, conclude that someone else
can serve them TO their greater ad-
vantage"
