Panama Canal Opening
Watched by Italy as
New Emigration Road

ROME, Dec. Italy Is following
with the greatest interest everything
connected with the Panama canal,
which is considered a work worthy
of the ancient Romans. The opening
of the canal will affect Italy, above
all, in its principal expectation,
namely emigrants. In Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chill new
fields of activity will be found for
them, and. furthermore. the emigra-
ton to the western coast of Mexico.
the United States and Canada will be
increased. Already several italian
lines are preparing routes of naviga-
ton. Also, it is calculated that once
the means of transportation is facili-
tated, Italian exports to South
America will be at least doubled,
while those for the western coast of
Mexico. the United States and Canada
will increase greatly.
When the Suez canal was finished
italian emigration was very limited,
and did not reach 100000 yearly, but
between 1876 and 1886 the annual
average had become 1876, coo. Between
1886 and 1900 that number was
doubled, and from 1900 1t had reached
an average of 100000, while in 1906,
the highest year on record, the emf
grants were 7S7,977. In 1912 they were
708. 1853, and this year they may sur
pass in numbers those of 1906.
An average of half this emigration
goes across the Atlantic--the greater
part being aborbed by the United
States.

Public Radium Supply
Sought by British Public.

LONDON, Dec. Professor Fred
erick Soddy, whose researches with
radium especially qualify him to
speak on the subject, voices the opin-
ion of a large number of scientists
in an article in the current issue Of
Nat ure, in which he recommends the
British government to lift the ques-
ton of national supply of radium
out of the domain of private specula-
ton in which 1t now lies and make il
a matter of public concern.
Pointing out that Austria and
America have radium while England
has no apparent source of supply,
Professor Soddy expresses regret that
Great Britain has no ministerial de-
partment like the American Bureau
of Mines to take action in the mat
ter of its own accord He expresses
the hope that the Institution of Min
ing and Metallurgy will fulfill this
public duty in lieu of an inactive
government, and take energetic steps
to meet the situation
Sir Alfred Pearce Gould, the ia
nous cancer specialist, sounded a
similar note at hospital board meet
ing this week, and urged the pur-
chase of radium as q gilt-edged In
vestment for hospital funds. He said
there was no more permanent way
of investing money than in radium,
as radium purchased now would Do
valuable to the end of time.

Removing Hillside to End
Slides Into Culebra Cut

WASHINGTON Dec Ito prevent
future earth slides into Culebra cut at
Cucaracha, on the Panama Canal, the
engineers are preparing to remove an
entire hillside at that point. Dredges
already are at work on this project.
according to information reaching the
Isthmian Canal Commission here
Removal of the hillside was made
necessary by the extreme plastic ma
ture of the earth. which caused the
dirt to slide into the cut almost as
fast as it was taken out by the
dredges. The dredges have advanced
q channel so to 100 feet wide and about
20 feet deep from the northern end,
about 800 feet southwark and almost
to the point of greatest obstruction.
Other dredges are working through
the slide from the south and have
reached point within 450 feet of the
dredges coming from the north. AT
the same time the sliding hill is being
attacked from the rear by monitors
directing jets of water at $50 pounds
pressure to the square inch. 1t is
planned to wash away 100000 cubic
yards of material in this manner into
u deep valley nearby.

Residents of Paris Seek
the Restoration OF Nuns

PARIS, Dec. efforts to have
nuns restored to their old position In
Paris are unceasing. Last week
great petition bearing the names OF
1877, S49 citizens of Paris and its en-
virons was presented to the Municipal
Council asking that the nuns again
be permitted to serve as hospital
nurses.
AS the hospitals are about to be
reorganized, the petition asks that
places be reserved for the sisters and
says:
@Your petitioners have no political
design. Their sole desire Is to permit
sick persons who ask to be attended
by sisters to have their wish. We do
not wish to interfere with the rights
or the situations of the present stan
organization, but we think the pa
tients have also a right to express
their wishes. and that their rlghf1
are equal to those Of the st1n."

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1913-11-13

The REPUBLICAN last week published
a large list of prize winners at the Lo-
naconing fair, who reside in different
parts of Garrett county. A number of
these gentlemen will be prize winners
at the great show at Baltimore, during
MARYLAND week.
We are glad to record their success,
but we want to see greater exhibits,
and larger number of them at the fair
next fall. We had only about six
weeks to prepare for the fair of 1913
In that time much was accomplished
What ought we to accomplish in the
whole year before US? Farmers of
Garrett county interest your entire
family in this work. Utilize these two
occasions, the Garrett county fair, the
Amman corn contest-for your profit
and for the awakening of an interest in
better and more successful farming.
Encourage your boys, your girls to be
prize winners; with them plan for the
contest, prepare the ground for good
results, select good seed and do YOUR
best to win; improve your horses, cattle,
sheep, swine and chickens. Strive for
the best, and as you thus plan and work
richer, better Garrett comfy will de-
velop, and more happy and better con-
tented citizenship will be found.

Trainmen Get Wage Increase.

The long lived controversy between
railroads of the East and their con
ductors and trainmen over the latter's
demand for more pay has ended. The
employees are granted an increase in
wages averaging per cent. and total
ing Sc, 600. 900 annually about half of
what they wanted from October last
effective for one year. One hundred
thousand men will share in the increase.
Thus ends, by arbitration under the
Newlands amendment to the Erdman
act, controversy that threatned at
one time to tie up by strike the trans
portation facilities of all states east of
the Mississippi River and north of the
Ohio. The award of the arbitration
commission, filed in the Federal District
Court, is binding and final. The two
boards representatives, of the employees
filed minority report in addition and
the two representatives of the Al rail-
roads dissenting opinion.
The articles are dealt with separately
and fix the pay for various classiications
of labor. While technical in verbiage,
they provide chiefly that the monthly
paw of employees in the passenger
branch of the service shall be:
Conductors, $l35; baggagemen, $50. so;
fagmen and rear brakemen. SIS; brake
men, $40. 50; overtime, per hour: Conduc-
tors, As cents; assistant conductors and
ticket collectors. 35.7 cents: baggage
men, 27. cents; flagmen and rear brake
men. 20 cents; brakemen. 25.5 cents.
For the freight service, the chief
awards are: Through runs, conductor, A
cents mile; fiagmen, 2.67 a mile;
breakman, 2.67 mile; any run less
than 100 miles to be paid for as if it
were 100 miles. In this way freight,
pick up or drop, mine and roustabout
service, same minimum; conductors are
awarded $3.50 a day of 100 miles or
less, 10 hours or less; fagmen. So 10,
and brakemen, SO; overtime to be paid
for as time and one-half.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Pastor Russell Reerets His Error.
D the Editor of the Republican:

To the Editor of the Republican:
' DEAR SIR:-A copy of THE REPUBLI-
CAN of October Both is before me. which
seems to imply that have been misin-
formed respecting Rev. j. J Ross ex-
periences in Baptist pulpits in Toronto
and Hamilton, Canada. | wrote on what
| considered reliable information, and
regret any error in the statement.
Your readers will recall that l brought
no railing accusation against Rev. Ross,
but merely used what | was informed
were his experiences as a warning to
other ministers that the cultivation of
spirit of SANDER, malice, hatred and
strife would surely be injurious to their
influence with right. minded people, but
to be gentle toward all-not a brawler,
not slanderer.
birds of feather flock together.
If the congregation served by Rev.
Ross appreciate him and love the spirit
which he manifests, it certainly speaks
badly for them. My experience has
been that noble minded people neither
enjoy nor sympathize with slanderers
and traducers. If the Baptist laity of
Canada endorse Rev. Ross course, they
depreciate themselves proportionately
in my estimation.
Noticing again the article you publish,
| remark that it says Rev. Ross was not
asked to resign any of his charges, but
gives no explanation of why he did
leave Toronto. Very rarely are minsi-
tiers asked to resign in so many words.
Hints of dissatisfaction and GOODNESS
are usually enough without an open vote
and request :of resignation. | notice
also that the Hamilton deacons say that
Rev. Ross is now serving a united and
happy people; but this does not prove
that some discontinued and unhappy peo-
pie did not withdraw, as | was inform
ed. In other words, my information re-
speeding trouble was so straightforward
that | am slow to think that it had no
foundation. Besides | still incline to
give the Canadian Baptist laity credit
for measure of dissatisfaction and
righteous Indignation against so I'M
christian course as Rev. Ross has pur-
sued. Very truly yours,
