With perfect internal waterways, a
large part Of the problem might be
solved. With the Mississippi and
Missouri navigable to their headwa-
tiers and with every main shipping
point equipped with modern loading
and handling facilities, the fact that
every important station on each is
nearer Panama by water than is New
York, might be made to count. But
we have not reached that Utopia yet,
and the taxation of the Middle West
uninterruptedly runs along. This
great and rapidly growing section,
which pays it's share of all of the
coast, river and harbor expenses of
the government without receiving
compensatory benefit, is entitled to
unusual consideration when it comes
to adding to it's burden by remitting
the tolls which discriminate against
it in a business way, and are deducted
from the sum to be raised annually
for the maintenance of the canal

in Tarlton, Ohio, July 20, 1880, and
graduated from the West Point acad-
envy in 1853. General Smith served
with distinction through the greater
part of the civil war-until disabled
by illness near the close Of the
struggle-but his fame rests more
upon his achievements as a civil en-
gineer than his military record. For
many years he was regarded as one OF
Americas foremost civil engineers.
He practiced the profession in Chica-
go in the sos and again took it up
after the close of the war. In the
construction Of the lighthouse at the
western entrance to the Straits of
Mackinac, General Smith was the
first engineer in the world to use
pneumatic caissons. He built the
first %all-steel railway bridge in the
world, at Glasgow, Mo-, and numer-
GUS other bridges by the pneumatic
process. By the same means he COM
pletely changed the methods of con-
structing the heavy buildings in Chi
cago and other large cities. Since his
retirement from active work some
years ago General Smith has made his
home near Medford, Ore.

Pure Milk Needed.

AS the education of the public
progresses in sanitary matters, the
tendency to criticize officials respon-
sible for conditions that are not as
they should be becomes more pro-
nounced. This is a hopeful sign, and
means, inevitably, improved condi-
lions. AS examples of plain speak
ing on these matters, two instances
may be cited.
The headline over an article in a
daily paper published in a large west
ern city reads: "One More Baby's
Life Forfeited to the Game of Poll
tics" The article contains an &C.
count of an epidemic of scarlet fever
which was traced to a certain dairy.
It specifically attributes the death of
a fve-year-child to the milk from
this dairy, and goes on to say: "The
milk inspection department., during
the time that a mixer at the farm
vas developing scarlet fever, was
playing politics. The inspectors were
out soliciting votes among such of
the dairymen as lived within the city
limits, and had a vote May FL. On
their shoulders is laid the blame for
the Infection spread through the
city,"
The other instance also concerns
the milk-supply, this time in a large
eastern city. The chief inspector of
creameries of the state board Of
health made an inspection of cream
cries and dairies in the city and found
only three out of the tWenty-seven
hal were up to the standard. He
stated to the local board Of health
that he had no doubt that the impure
milk vas the cause of the death of
many infants, and that if the board
did not take immediate action the
state board would step in and force
the local board to do it's duty.
With all the agitation and legisla-
ton concerning milk it is scarcely
possible that milk producers and dis
%tributors do not know the role of i'm
pure milk in the production of dis
ease and death in infants. A con-
science so defective as to permit such
conditions to exist in the face of that
knowledge, says the Journal of the
American Medical Association re-
quires drastic criticism and vigorous
action to penetrate it and get it in a
normal working condition.

Burden of Free Tolls.

When it can be pointed out why
the great Middle West should pay it's
proportion of the immense cost of the
construction and maintenance of the
Panama canal and at the same time
be Disseminated against by a free
toll system in the interest of the ship
ping trust and the Eastern shipper, it
will be time for any Middle Western
congressman to support the free toll
bill or any Middle Western voter
agree with the national Democratic
platform in it's Endorsement of that
bill.
1t is pointed out by traffic officials
in st. Paul that at this time, before
the canal is available, it is cheaper to
ship certain classes of commodities
from Cincinnati to New York, rehan-
die on shipboard, carry by water to
Puerto, Mexico, rehandle by rail to
Salina Cruz and again trans-ship by
water to Tacoma, than to ship by rail
direct from Cincinnati to Tacoma.
This rail and water rate can be re-
duced when the canal is in commits
sion, without the subsidy of free tolls,
until the same freight may be carried
inland from Tacoma as far as Spokane
or Missoula.
It might be easy for the trans-con-
~tinental lines to show that a rail rate
based on the rail-and-water rate
would be confiscatory, in which event
the courts would reverse any reduc-
ton order by the Interstate Commerce
commission. Hemmed in by both
sides, what will the vast empire of the
Middle West do about it? What
course will be pursued if Congress
persists in still further penalizing
this section by RENTING the canal
tolls?

sands OF people today when his body
lay in state at Congress Hall Clap
ton.
Among those who showed their APP
probation of the cyangelists life
work was the German emperor. who
sent wreath of white lilies forming
the imperial initial, to be placed on
the bier. 1t was accompanied by his
maJesties card, surmounted by a
crown The German embassy also
sent a wreath.
So great Yves the crowd which came
today to view the body Of the dead
general that II has been decided to
open the doors Of Congress Hall at
$40 o'clock tomorrow morning, 80
many wurkmen who desire to pay
their respects will be accommodated.
A constant song service went on
throughout the day about the cata-

act; that two Of their representatives
had come to Washington to oppose It,
and that they had sent kilograms to
various senators and representatives
AGAINST 1t, | got hold OF these tele-
grams, published some Of them and
forced the bill through.
"Mr. Archbold says in his rather
ludicrous complaint that darkest
Africa never saw anything like the
persecution of the Standard oil cor
poratlOn by the Roosevelt admins
tration.' UnwittIngly paying Messrs
Garfield and Smith the highest praise
by bitterness to them for their ac-
tion. | do not wonder that he feels
bitterly The action in question dis
closed all kinds Of improper practices
on the part of the Standard Oil com
pany and a colossal series OF rebates.
A stop was put to these rebates be-
cause Of the action of the people in
my administration and through the
action a fine was imposed by Judge
Lands on the Standard Oil which
II II had not been reversed by the
appellate court decision, would really
have made that corporation smart;
and, even as It was. 1t forced them to
act properly.
1T seems to me that the course Of
Mr.. Penrose in this matter and the
bringing in of Mr. Archbold to testi-
fy. bear close analogies to what in
the New York police situation at this
time. would be called a frame up"
and this Is shown by the questions
Mr.. Archbold Is asked and those he Is
not asked. He is allowed to testify
about a dead mans statement and to
make n cruelty unjust assault upon
the character of the dead man who
believe to have been one Of the most
honorable and high minded gentle
men, but he had not thing to say
about Mr.. Penrose. In that case he
would not be testifying about what
he had done and said and about
what Mr.. Penrose had done and said. |
1t appears, that Mr.. Penrose, while !
a member of the Industrial commits |
sion, received a check for S25, 900. 90 |
from Mr. Archbold and that he was
serving on that commission In n pc |
