Taft is Disappointed.

President Taft was much concern
ed today over the prospect of delay
in the opening of the canal
In many speeches he has made
since he became president, he has
predicted that the Atlantic and the
Pacific would be joined at Panama
in 1913 and at one time the president
believed he would be able to steam
through the canal on the old battle
ship Oregon when the formal open
ing was celebrated during his present
term in the white house. When he
broke ground at San Francisco last
October for the Panama Pacific EX-
position he practically promised to
have the canal ready next year,
spoke of the Oregon as the ship that
would first cleave it's waters, and
made it clear he would like to be on
her bridge when the trip began.
President May Send Message.
So far the president has refused
to write a special message to con-
gress on the subject. He told visit
ors recently that he did not believe
it was necessary for him further to
advise congress of his position.
Within the last few days however,
members of the house have notified
him that they would oppose any
legislation in regard to the Panama
canal bill that did not settle all
matters involved.
Secretary Stimson has taken issue
with the congressman but the presi-
dent has not made his intentions

A Pennsylvania man is said to have
invented a switch-operating device
which will not only lessen the dan
ger of throwing switches, but rem
der the operation much simpler and
easier than now. The new switch
has a great advantage over the old
switch, for it is operated by lever
which has only to be lifted up few
inches to change the switch. This
lever moves up and down between
two slot standards, and can be easily
fixed in either the upper or lower po-
sitions by a locking plate. Another
advantage of the invention is that
when the switch is shifted the target
is simultaneously changing with it,

DISAPPOINTED.

Washington, Aug. l.-Unless con-
gress takes action to provide for the
operation of the Panama canal at
this session, President Taft and Sec
retary Stimson believe it Will be
practically impossible for army en-
gineers to keep their promise and

Prospects Grow DINNER.
According to information brought
TO the white house today, prospects
of action by congress at this session
is growing DINNER. The questions
of tolls and of railroad owned steam
ships have stirred up controversy in
both houses and today neither the
president nor his secretary OF war
was hopeful of settling it.

chairman of the house on interstate
commerce was considering a joint
resolution providing for the machln-

1t is the wish of Governor Woodrow

bearer, that whatever campaign fund

scription, rather than by the selfish
interests that expect favors in return.

to subscribe will govern themselves
accordingly:
Sea Girt, n. j., Aug. II, 1912.
Dear Mr.. McAdoo
To bring about the election of IA
president through a campaign financed
by popular subscriptions, would be a
distinct and gratifying triumph. 1t
would strikingly evidence the re-
newed supremacy of the people and
would mean the permanent emancipa-
ton of our government from those
selfish influences which have too long
been relied upon to furnish the cam
paign funds in return for favors to be
bestowed. am in hearty sympathy
with every effort that may contribute
to such result. The idea back of the
proposed popular subscriptions plan is
thoroughly commendable and ! hope
that you and your associates will push
it and make it an effective instrument
for the attainment of so praiseworthy
an object.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson.
