Local Views Wanted

Residents of Punta Cords
who desire cuts of their stores,
hotels, or other business estab-
lishments, to appear in the Times
Uuion write-up, should send their
photos to the Board of Trade
rooms at once. The same should
be done by all of the churches, the
public school, and the council.
Photos of all the public buildings,
docks, and so forth are desired.
An ordinary good kodak, taking
a clear distinct picture, will do for
the purpose.
The paper charges for the max
ing of the cuts, the charge proba-
bly, not exceeding one dollar in
any instance. The insertion and
publication is free. The number
of papers desired should also be
sent to the Board so that the ag-

CoIored Sidewalks Suggested

As the subject of new side walks is
now being agitated, we would like
to suggest that some coloring mat
ter be added to the cement, or
perhaps it is possible that color
ed cement is manufactured. The
glare of our white walks is not
only annoying, but must be injuri-
GUS to the eyes. In the north the
free use of tar makes ideal side
walks, but it would soften here in
in the long hot days. In Califor-
MIA the sidewalks are beautifully
colored- shaded green's and soft
orays. Some one travelling there
and finding them restful, tried to
find out how they were made, but
did not get the information.
Some one asks if green single
stain would answer. 1t seems as
if some of our business men ought
to know some inexpensive way to
tint cement. -SEo'Y. w. G. /. A.

We could not so strongly endorse

suffer any scalp trouble, we believe
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will do more
to eradicate the dandruff, give health
to the scalp, stimulate new hair
growth and prevent premature bald
ness than any other human agency.

this. We ask you to risk no money

Attorneys Ousting Regard
ed as Political Tragedy in
the Hawkeye State.

Sioux City. Iowa. Dec. 24.-Anthony
Van Wagenen's summary dismissal
from the office of United States dis
trict attorney for northern Iowa Ia re-
sarded by his friends as a political
tragedy.
For twenty-five years. almost in
variably in the face Of almost certain
defeat, for Iowa ever has been q
strongly republican state, Judge Van
Wagenen has beer at the forefront of
the democratic fight. When Cover
o Boies. the only democratic gov
ernor Iowa ever has had, in the early
"n:neties" had a vacancy on the dis
trict bench to fill by appointment, he
named Van Wagenen for the place.
but it was only to fill out an unfinish.
ed term, and amounted to little as q
political reward.
Make Sacrifices for Party.
Three times Van Wagenen ran for
when he knew and everybody else
knew there was no chance for success
However. it was necessary that some
one should hold aloft the banner OF
democracy in order that the party
might live in the Eleventh Iowa dis
trict. and Van Wagenen entered the
lists at sacrifice of time and money.
In all the councils Of the party, Van
Wagenen was prominent, hopeful
when others had become discouraged.
Battles for Wilson.
In 1895. Van Wagenen was one of
Eryan's first lieutenants in Iowa. and
stumped the state for the Nebraskan.
As one Of the original Wilson men,
Of Iowa. he went to the state con-
vention at Burlington at the head Of
q Wilson delegation from Woodbury.
county. whose places were contested
by a Clark delegation. Van Wagenen
made a hard fight in that Clark con
vention and lost. he and his delegation
being ousted from their seats.
That the hardest jolt Of his politi-
cal career should come now in the
hour of democracy's triumph is re-
garded here as a shining example of
the irony Of fate.

YOUR MONEY.
When Lincoln Had Only "a a
Week.

BY John NJ. Oskison.
Some one told ME the other day
that when Abraham Lincoln married
Mary Todd he went directly to the
Globe Tavern at Springfield, ILL.,. to
spend his honeymoon-and that he
paid 81 a week for the two. He didn't
go anywhere else or spend more than
81 a week on his honeymoon, because
he did not have the money to spend.
About a month ago I was walking
along the tow-path Of one of the old
canals of Pennsylvania. and I met an
old man who had started life s Il
mule driver on that tow-path. He re-
called with satisfaction the time when
81 a week was the beginners wage.
when the second man on the canal
boat got SIS a month. and when the
captains wage was $25 a month.

Instead Of wailing over the passing
Of the days Of cheap living, what

the same quality Of frugality and fore
handedness in this age of 50-cents-a-

time when it cost him 81 a week to
keep himself and his bride at the
Globe tavern.
It will always be true that the pay

Ready Money.

Ready Money" a comedy Of love.
romance. risk and thrills, under the
management Of William A. Brady,
Ltd. will be the offering at the Net
ropolitan on Monday. December 90.
The author. James Montgomery,
brings a decidedly fresh treatment to
n Of the present day problems in his
comedy, Ready Money" There is
Grace Tyler who is very much in love
with Stephen Baird. and there is
!Grace's mother who objects. to Ste
phen; Furthermore. who decides that
her daughter shall never marry
Stephen. There seems nothing the
matter with the young. man. except
that he is discouraged" and down
hearted at his i'll luck. 1t don't give
Stephen much satisfaction to reflect
that the mother Of his beloved is un-
reasonable. He casts about for some
thing that will allow him to overcome
parental difficulties. And the man
ner of his doing 80 makes up one Of
the most successful comedies in years.
The situation is now new, but the
treatment is altogether unique and
those who still believe in love and
romance follow with keen interest the
affairs Of Grace Tyler and Stephen
Baird In Ready Money"
Manager Brady has provided a COM
pany Of unusual excellence including
Robert ODER. Lynn Pratt. Nena Blake,
Estelle Wynne, John G. Brownell,
Clarence Rockefeller, Mary Carlisle,
Adelaide Hastings and fifteen others
to interpret the comedy and a scenic
environment OF artistic beauty.

WOULD SUSPEND
TOLL EXEMPTION
Measure Not Backed by Adj
ministration, Which is
Silent.

Washington. Dec. 24.--A Joint res
olntion to conditionally suspend tho
operation of the provision of the Pam
I canal act, granting free passage
to American coastwise vessels. was i'm
PRODUCED yesterday by Chairman
Adan'son OF Georgia of the house
commerce committee.
The proposed suspension would he
subject to II following conditions:
ANY time after the canal shall have
been opened and successfully oyer
ated for two years. il in the Judgment
OF the president the ven derived
from the tolls Of vessels other than
tnosc engaged i'll coastwise trade of
the United States. shall he sufficient
to defray the cost of maintaining and
operating the canal. and the expense
OF the government and sanitation of
the canal zone. and all diplomatic
questions shall have been adjusted,
then the president is authorized to is
U an executive order declaring that
such suspended exemption is Of full
force n effect" 1t would further
provide. that from the late of such
order. exemption shall be allowed. but
until that time vessels Of the United
States should pay the same tolls as
others.
The free toll provision is un-
der diplomatic protest. Chairman
Adamson introduced the resolution
on his own responsibility, and it will
not go before congress as an admins
tration measure. 1t was said in Off
cial circles. however, that the silence
Of the administration did not mean
that the. proposed step is di~sapproyed.
Any declaration Of policy on the
subject of canal tolls has been avoided
since President Wilson assumed office.
When Ambassador Bryce left WASH
ington in April It was generally un.
derstocd that he had procured the as
surance that no. effort would be made
by the United States to execute the
Tree tolls provisions of the canal act.
There has been no official confirma-
ton of this. but Significance has been
attached to the. fact that negotiations
between Washington and London in
regard to the tolls question came to
government made no effort to resume
them.
Rryce's last note. however. practi-
cAlly committed the British foreign Of
flee to the delivery Of another COM
m%unication, simplifying and strength
ening the points adduced by the am
bassador in opposition to the argu-
ment Of the state department in sup
port Of the existing canal tolls act.
Representative Adamson, in a state
ment explaining his resolution, said he
did not involve the principle Of grant
Ing. subsidy to special interests, but
did it to afford an opportunity to clear
up the International phases and test
the contentious on all sides in the
controversy.
