Not Their Fault.

An American woman who resided for
some years in Mexico had an odd ex-
perience with an earthquake. She was
the mother of two lively small sons.
One day they had been especially OBJ
streperous and did not grow quieter
as the time for her siesta and theirs
approached. After rousing her from
her nap two or three times by their
antics she gave them fair warning
that if there was any further commo-
ton severe punishment would result.
Again she dropped OF into sleep. Sud
denly she found herself awake and on
her feet with sounds Of banging still

looking, were in the doorway. She

had him half spanked before the ex~
cited protests Of his brother penetrat-
ed to her brain through his angutshed
bowls. Then she became aware that
she was spanking him for an earth
quake.-New York Herald.

The only cause of uneasiness is
the fact that the present military
government of Japan, insisting upon
further ornaments and consequent
taxation will drive the people to a
revolution or at least to such state
of excitement that a foreign war
will be the only thing that can
get them together again. The ques-
ton is whether this military fever
would risk national suicide rather
than suffer extinction. Mr.. HUI

inevitable but does not believe

lea as the one with which to scrap.

this point we find the limits to
Japans bravery, very definite limits

may have had about an empire in

To the Editor OF

Inc honlleWlCk COuIlcl,
Doar Sir: Kennewick, Wash.
| desire to call your attention to
the supreme Importance OF doing
everything possible to secure the
massage by Congress of law which
will provide for the elimination OF
tolls for American shipping through
the Panama Canal in coast to coast
service. The railroads are exertlng
every possible influence to secure
the levying of tolls, and unless the
public in all parts of the country
arouses itself and lets Congress
know in most emphatic terms that
It demands that no tolls be placed
on American shipping through the
Canal, a very large part of the ben
efts of the canal that would other
wise result from its operation will
be destroyed.
If there are any cities or COM
munities in the West that should
interest themselves in this matter,
and do all they can to secure no
tolls for American ships engaged in
coast-wise trade, they are Kenne-
wick and Pasco. These cities have
recently been favored with reason
able distributive rates, and it is very
important that they secure the ad-
vantages of the low rates that un-
taxed water transportation will af-
ford them on the goods that they
will distribute. They now enjoy
practically terminal railrates. and
the lower these are forced by water
competition, the better it will be
for them.
The advantages which will come
to these two cities in securing their
goods from the East at a low rate
through the Panama Canal, and up

Free Tolls for American
Shipping through the Panama Canal

the Columbia, when the locks at
Cello are completed, cannot be
over estimated.
There are other reasons why Ken
newick and Pasco should wake up
and make demand for no tolls.
They are in a region of unlimited
opportunities for agricultural, COM
mercial and industrial development.
Your fruits, and other products,
which are increasing in output from
year to year in a marvellous way.
must find markets in the East.
What more convenient and profit
able means of transportation to
eastern markets than in steamships
with refrigeration facilities, which
will surely come if the Canal is per-
mitted to serve the people as it
should, and it's use and efficiency
not destroyed by artificial impede
ments in the form of tolls on freight
passing through it? Whether the
matter be looked at from the stand
point of the advantages on incom-
ing or outgoing goods and products,
the great importance of no tolls for
American shipping is strikingly ap-
parent.
In view of these facts, I wish to
suggest that every civic body, or
organization maintained in Kenne-
wick, Pasco or in the surrounding
towns or communities, should at
once pass resolutions in favor of no
tolls for American ships engaged
solely in interstate commerce, and
send copies of same to our Senators
and Representatives; and that these
be followed up by personal letters
from every individual of standing in
the community, to the members OF
Congress, urging them, in fact, de-
handing. that law, for no tolls be
enacted.
The beneficial uses and advantages
of the Canal depend on how Congress
settles this question. Let your Con-
gresham know where you stand,
and compel them to respect your
wishes upon this point. The Sena-
tors and Representatives of the
western states must stand together
in this matter, which means SO
much for the future development OF
the portions of the country which
they represent.
Let every organization and every
individual get into the work and
help push it to favorable conclu-
sion. Respectfully yours.

CARDIGAN SAID
TO BE ARRESTED
ALLEGED GOLD BRICK sWINpLER
OF LATE NORTH DAKOTA MIL
LIoNAtRE REPo~s@p TO BE Ar
RESTED IN NATIONAL CAPITAL
SECOND TIME IN CUSTODY.

1t Is reported from Washington, d.
o., n Los Angeles that Cardigan,
the alleged gold brick swindler of the
late H. F.. Chaffee of Armenia, Is again
under arrest, this time at the national
capital. This is the second time CAD
digan has been arrested on the same
charge, as he vas placed in custody a
year g in Los Angeles and wns
identified by Eben Chaffee, son OF the
late North Dakota millionaire, as the
man who negotiated the gold brick
swindle.
At the time Cardigan was held to the
grand jury. but disappeared when re-
leased on bail. Soon after a woman,
posing as his wife, reported a body
found in the bay claiming it was that
OF Cardigan. The matter was then
dropped, and it is claimed that the
story was only a scheme to assist him
in getting out of the vicinity and that
Cardigan is still living.
Cardigan is alleged to have sold the
late Mr.. Chaffee a gold brick in Min
neapolis some years ago which after
a careful analysis by Eben Chaffee was
pronounced gold, but was later found
to be of baser metals. Since that
time the authorities have been diligent
in their search for the man who per-
petrated the swindle, who is said 10
be about 70 years of age. The Wash
ington dispatches fail to give partic-
ulars about the mans description.
