Panama Canal Tolls

From the Knickerbocker Press.
 British shipowners have come forward with the suggestion that this country can confer favor by making the Panama canal practically free to the shipping of all nations They propose that the United Sfates shall put aside all thought of de- irving a revenue from the canal or even of making it pay enough 10 defray the cost of it's construction. Open it wide, fhey say, and the benefit to shipping and to commerce will be immense.
 This may be very true. but it Is worth while to inquire whose shipping and whose commerce will be benefited by the al- truistic course which they propose. The canal will open d short route to the Pa cific coast of the United States and to the western coast of South America. So far as the United States is concerned. aside from military considerations, we want the products of our Pacific states brought to the Atlantic seaboard as cheaply as pos eible Low freight rates by sea will mean lower prices in the eastern markets and they will also have restraining N- feet upon railroad rates from the west.
 It is hoped, too. that the canal will stimulate trade between this country and western South America. The commerce os the great continent south of us is now mostly in the hands of Europe. This is due to a variety of causes, but in the main it is our own fault. If the canal can be used to our advantage with re- epect to this trade, such an advantage shculd not be thrown away.
 The Suez canal cost S20,000,0o0 and for her one-third share in its ownership Enelard receives S5.0OO,O0O a year. It vii ,,ot be necessary to resort to such extor- fion in order to obtain reasonable re- turn from the Panama canal but it would Seern at least that Uncle Sam is enti- fled to get his money back.

THE MAN OF THE
 HOUR EXPLAINED

The special services at the South High land Presbyterian church have been a great success. The entire body of Chris tions seems to have been lifted closer to Christ and to each other through the gospel, both in sermon and in song, and many have accepted the Savior and will unite with the church. Sunday will be the last day of the meeting and. no doubt, standing room will be held at premium both morning and evening. Dr. J. Ernest Thacker who is conducting the services, will preach Sunday at Il a. m. on "The Insufficiency of Self" and at p. m. on The Philosophy of Living" Both the evangelist and Rev. Dr. Plunket, the pas tor of the church, are urging all Christians to make a special effort to bring their unsaved friends and neigh bors and loved ones to these final services.
 The subject of the sermon last night was The Man of the Hour and the text was l Kings. 1S:21, Hog long halt ye between two opinions. if the Lord be God follow him; if Baal then follow him. pr. Thacker said the decided man is the man of the hour.'' The decided man Is admred in the world today, both in tem- poral and spiritual affairs. The double minded man Is unstable in all his ways. It is considered an evidence of littleness and weakness of mind to remain in an undecided state when all the facts for a wise and intelligent decision are clearly before the mind.

Home Rule Battle On

From the Minneapolis Journal.
 The decks in Great Britain are cleared for action, and the battle for home rule has really opened. That it will be the final battle is probable. Every intelli- gent well-wisher of the English speak ing race hopes that the end is at hand for that division between Saxon and Ceit which not only cleaves Great Britain, but also makes for discord in the colonies and even in the United States.
 The unionists, however, show signs of complete resistance to home rule. Bonar Law, their leader, is in Belfast prompting demonstration Rudyard Kipling pub fishes a weak poem against the grant. Every ancient prejudice and hate as we'll as every historic misunderstanding and proper loyalty will be appealed to before the struggle ends.
 The house of lords. since its chastenng, has been as meek as possible. The peers have scarcely dared say their souls reg istered every decree presented them by the commons-even the minimum wage bill Their veto has been as much in abeyance seemingly as that of the crown.
 It may be the lords will choose 10 as- sert themselves concerning home rule, to sst the bill out when 1t comes up to them, and so to aid the unionists either to force an appeal to the country on the sIecific issue, or to compel the Asquitli ministry 10 repass the measure in the commons, proceeding which will afford opportunities to harass the government majority and perhaps to diminish 1t fa- tally.
 The design of the ministry and of Mir. Redmonds is, of course. to get the grant of home rule from this parliament, while the purpose of the unionists is to compel referendum to the people on the ques- tion. There promises a great parliament tary and popular fight the outcome oi which 1t would be rash to prophecy.

DR. OATES SAYS COURTHOUSE
 NEEDS SOME SOAP AND WATER


 said the prison inspector. "It would im- prove conditions if the board of revenue would give the sheriff about 10 additional negroes with an abundance of soap and water and give the courthouse a thorough cleaning. The corridors are filthy and some of the anterooms are unsightly and insanitary. While have nothing to say officially about the courthouse, for 1t does not come under the scope of my author ity, my opinion Is that a new courthouse with more commodious court room and clerks offices is badly needed. found the clerks offices badly crowded. in some in- stances the clerks had scarcely room to work efficiently.
 "The general condition of the courthouse is bad and insanitary, the walls dirty, the floors dirty, and the lavatories in the basement foul and i'll smelling In fact from dome to cellar it badly needs a thorough and systematic cleaning up.'

animation of the witnesses for the de- fense was commenced.
 Mrs Alma Murphy was the first wit ness called for the defense. She stated that the defendant, Will Watson, was, so far as she knew. sober and in- dustrious man, and that his character was good. MT. Davidson endeavored to introduce testimony relating to dif- ficulty that had occurred between Wat son and Mr Bond. The state ob- jected and Judge Cahalan sustained the objection. MT. Davidson contended that the evidence was admissible and that he intended to prove a conspiracy to drive Watson from the community in which he lived. To the question from MT. Burr as to what conspiracy he re- ferred to, MT. Davidson replied; "A con- splracy on the part of the state
 Evidence Barred
 Judge Cahalan ruled the evidence in admissible.
 In rapid succession James Capps, Lester Addington, Will Moses, Leonard Hare, A. R. Armstrong, Rev. James Parker, Tom Watson, Jim Armstrong; A. G. Armstrong, Charles Ingram, Har- ris Heaton, Robert Teer, Mack SeweH, Kit I.onnigan were put on the stand and questioned as to the character Of the defendant. In almost every Instance the witnesses said his character was good.
 w. L. Jones gave evidence tending to show the defendant was endeavoring to prove an alibi. He stated that he and Will Watson were in Birmingham at Lee Brothers store on the day Holland was killed. The witness was not posi- tive, however as to the exact date. but said 1t might have beeen Thursday in stead of Friday, the day Holland was killed
 Two more witnesses, John Black wood and simon Allgood, testified as to Watson's good character Cobb on Stand Ambrose Cobb, who lives on Cat mountain, attempted to prove that Wat. son came to Birmingham with him in a wagon on the day of the killing. On examination he said ho was not positive as to the day.
 Bestor Murphy, brother-in-law of the defendant. stated he saw Watson in Bir- mingham sometime in June. and on direct examination said 1t was the 18th day of June, and that he met him about 4:30 o'clock. He was subjected to vigorous cross-examination by MT. Burr and contradicted himself several times To many of the questioned propounded
 by the attorney the witness would reply. T don't remember" but stuck to his contention that he was with Watson on the day of the killing. When the examA nation of Murphy was concluded the court adjourned until o'clock. Afternoon Session Madison Gallups was the first to take the stand and proved an interesting wit ness He stated that he saw Will Wat sor at the home of his brother at Pratt City on the evening of June 16. He was very positive as to the date and attempt- ed to prove it by introducing receipt dated June 16, 1911, which he said was paid on that date The receipt, he said, wac for the rent of a hall at Pratt where the holiness people held their meetings MT. Burr closely cross-questioned the witt ness and brought out several matters re- lating to the worship of the holiness peo- pie.
 Mrs. Gallups was placed on the stand
