. The secret of the marvellous sue
cess OF Duty's Pure Malt Whiskey
in curing and preventing throat and
lung troubles lies in the fact hat it
is the greatest strengthened and
health builder known to medicine,
and it not only checks the ravages of
the disease itself, but replaces the
weakened, destroyed tissues, helps
the stomach to more perfectly digest
and assimilate food in order that
more, richer and purer blood may
come from it, and regulates and
governs the hearts action, so that

erful, carrying health and vigor to

Apprehended by accident with a bomb
under his coat, the supposed king or
the blackmailers has generously relieved
the police Of the necessity of making
out case against him for actual
offences against life and property. He
has already made out a case against
himself by having the bomb with him
ready for use. His criminality is proved
by his preparations 10 commit crime.
and no alibi can he forged for him in

The great virtue Of the Sullivan law
is that it establishes q primo fGcie

THE ERICSSON CONTROVERSY.

To the Editor of Tho Tribune
Sir: In reply TO the communication
signed ''Meritus." in your issue OF August
60 would say that his deadly parallel
between what said at one time ana what
I said at another time does not snow
any discrepancy between the two state
ments What Il does show is the ract
that "Meritus" does not appreciate the
difference between the functions OF the
inventor and those OF the designer.
And in mechanical matters the latter are
by far the more important; man may
invent. for instance, new steam engine
or a new sewing machine. He may nave
ever SO clearly in mind all the nicetes OF
the means by which they are 10 be pro-
duced.
All this is good so far as IL goes ano
indeed necessary, but let II be required
to build such an engine Of given horse
power-then the inventor finds that alb
stract ideas will not OF themselves pro-
duce practical results; and II he does not
himself possess the requisite knowledge

who does
In conclusion I will add that the mat
ter OF my legacy from Captain Ericsson

rOMlfON SENSE

The decision Of the secretary or the
Senate thaf statements OF campaign ex-
penditureS fled with him under the
terms of the publicity law Of 1911 must
be treated as public records IS in &c
cordance with plain common sense.
Ouibblers had made the point that be
cause the law did not explicitly direct
the secretary If the Senate and the
clerk Of the House Of Representatives
TO give publicity 70 the accounts fled by
candidates for Senator or Representa-
tive the two functonaries concerned
were at liberty 10 treat the returns as
private and confidential The Senate's
amendments TO the House hill were pre-
rared chiefly by Messrs. Kenyon and
Kern. both beginners in lawmaking. and
they neglected 10 attach to the later sec
tons affecting candidates, the public
record requirement Of the first section,
affecting the operations Of campaign
committees.
Yet the purpose Of the law was SO
clear that it could not reasonably have
been construed as sanctioning the sup
preston Of accounts after their filing
with tho ministerial officers Of the two
houses The only possible object in or
Gering such accounts filed was 10 open
them 10 public inspection, and II the
law meant what the quibblers thought
It did il would have been just as ap-
propriate 10 order the candidates 10
come 70 Washington and whisper in the
ears Of the secretary or the clerk the
net amounts they had expended for
campaign purposes. The primary Dur
pose Of a publicity law is 10 guarantee
publicity. and Mr. Bennett has rightly
interpreted it as his duty 10 see that
the records submitted TO him as an
officer of the Senate are treated as pub
lie property.

-COUyERCF FOR THE CANAL

The formation OF another company 10
operate a numerous fleet of ocean
steamers between the Atlantic and
Pacific ports Of this country by way Of
The Panama Canal is a step in the right
direction. We have hitherto frequently
commented upon the discreditable scar
city of American shipping at isthmian
ports, Ii comparison with that Of other
nations. and upon the unwelcome pros
pect Of the canal being used by other
nations far more than by America. The
date Of the opening Of the canal is now
50 near at hand that it is quite obvious
that If this country Is to rank above the
fourth or fifth place in use Of the water
way which It itself is creating it must
bestir itself vigorously and without de
lay Ships cannot be built and COM
mercial routes established and traffic
contracts made In a day.
The question Of alleged intrigues and
influence exerted by transcontinental
railroad lines to prevent the develop
ment Of competition by water routes
reed not be entered into in detail at this
time That such conditions have pre-
vailed is quite probable. For this rea-
son it is prudent provision that the
new shipping line which has been
formed is TO be kept quite free from any
such influences. The nation owes, for
It's social and industrial development, a
great debt of gratitude to the railroad
systems which have so closely united
its two remote coasts; but. of course,
that debt does not amount 10 anything
like the giving TO them of power TO
monopolize on their own terms all trans
continental traffic We should not wish
TO see a partial or unfair competition
created which would ruin the railroads
or gravely impair their legitimate prns-
perity. but we do not imagine that there
is the slightest probability Of such thing
at Panama. Legitimate competition, on
fair and equal ground, is something
which the roads must expect 10 meet
