Campaign Gifts VS.. Investments.

So far, 1900 persons have contrib
uted to Gov. Wilson's campaign fund
or a total of $4,000 A great deal
more is required.
A distinction is being made now in
these contributions between those who
give in the interest of the candidate
with whose party they are identified
and those who invest" for Interior
motives or gain. Investigations OF
how former campaign funds were OBJ
tanned have made both sides careful
and put them on the qui vive, those
who contribute (and why they do SOY
and those who accept big sums (and
from whom). Corporations have a
llnack of reimbursing themselves for
all they invest to further certain in
terests at elections.
Mr.. Wilson still believes that Presi-
Dental campaigns should be financed
by direct gifts of the people. This po-
sition he takes ought to be approved.
But if it should carry weight and lead
to beneficial results, it ought to take a
substantial form.
Commenting and applauding alone
elects no Presidents.

Furthermore, ten other typhoid cases
and sixteen attacks of ptomaine poison
ing were blamed upon the eating OF
oysters from the same bed.
The tracing was accomplished by
locating the express company Offices,
where the oysters had been shipped
from, near the bay, and it was found
that millions of gallons of daily sewage
discharges were emptying not only
close to the oyster beds but actually
directly over them.
What surprises most in this connec-
ton is that the New York health Of
ficials should have permitted such
criminal negligence on the part of their
inspecting force and thus endanger the
lives of a populaee which runs way
into the millions and which it is their
duty to protect; that, in fact, they
should have to be told by the Federal
authorities mot to allow the location
of oyster beds in polluted waters"

SLIDES DELAYING
CANAL COMPLETION
Of Total Excavation Yet to Be Done
0ne-third Is Due to Slips
of Earth.

How serious ar impeachment TO the ex-
cavations for the Panama Canal have
been the slides in the Culebra Cut is
shown in a report received by the Canal
Commission here yesterday. OF the total
excavating which remains to be done in
the Culebra Cut nearly one-third is due
to slides.
The amount OF eXcavating due to slides
has increased rapidly since 1909. From
1904 TO 1909 only 7s7 per cent OF the total
excavation was due to slides. In 1910 It
amounted to 14S per cent. in 1911 10 $3.50
per cent. and in 1872 It reached the high
figure Of $3.50 per cent OF the excavat-
ing that now remains in the Culebra
Cut, before this section OF the canal Is
completed. S,2s3,5 80 cubic yards is indie
pendent Of slides. while 3.5s5.ocl cubic
yards is due entirely to the slides.
The most extensive slide. or break.
with which the engineers now have to
contend is on the west bank at Culebra-
This slide covers an area OF sixty-three
acres, and has broken back to point
threatening the Culebra clubhouse foun-
datiOrs. Up to June 30. 1912, a total OF
6, $3.50 cubic yards had been removed,
and IL is now estimated that 1900, 900
cubic yards remain to be eXcavated from
this slide This slide began in 1907. and
has been growing ever since.
Most of the so-called slides during the
past year. IT is stated. were really breaks
in the banks of the cut. due to the ill.,
ability of an underlying layer of rock of
poor quality TO support the enormous
pressure superinduced by the weight
above 1t. The breaks are being Offset by
terracing the banks of the cut where the
slides have occurred.
