finally regained sufficient strength to

For time hopes were entertained Tor
his recovery, but shortly after mid

The Panama canal must compete

the Eastern ports Of the United States

will be less than by way Of Suez, and
with equal tolls at each canal, the
Panama route will readily secure the

In order to discharge and secure cargo

so low as to reduce unjustifably the

especially to the west coast Of South

made that a tax be placed upon foreign

Many Mysteries in Life.
In declaring that no true moral code
can be based on pure reason. Mr.. Bryan
said he understood that he was entering
upon debatable ground, but he declared
that he had rather begin with belief in
God and hold to the teachings Of the

agnosticism and unbeilef." There are
mysteries In all lines-in life. love. and
