Dispensing Justice Impartially.

When President Wilson declared
The United States to be neutral with
reference to the great European
struggle. he meant Just what he SAID.
and therefore will deal impartially
with the nations that are involved
in the war. Doubtless some of the
warning nations will suspect that
the United States leans this or that
way, but that is not the Wilson
way. He can be relied upon in
war, as in peace, to dispense juslice 2
with an even hand. If Europe had
had even one Woodrow Wilson, it
is strongly probable that this cruel
and sense!eSS war could have been
averted. But those crowned heads
of Europe are too much like Theo-
dore Roosevelt to avert war when a
crisis is approaching.

The Panama Canal.

One Of the greatest achievements
Of he present generation has been
tie construction Of the Panama
canal, which WIS formally opened
Saturday. While all the nations Of
the world will be benefited, the
South will reap the greatest hene-
fit. if the people of this section seize
the golden opportunity. The ports
of the South are the nearest to the
canal and. therefore, all things else
being equal. should handle the
largest portion Of the business that
passes through the canal. The
nearest port of any consequence on
the pacific side is San Francisco
which is 3.245 miles away. The
relative distance of the Atlantic
ports is as follows: New Orleans
l,+3s miles, Mobile l,4le, Jack
sonville 1859, Charleston 1907,
Norfolk l,S22, and New York
2,o17.
W hat the Panam, canal will
mean ultimately to the South de-
pends upon the southern people
themselves. The canal has been
placed ct theirvery door, and should
contribute largely toward making
the cotton belt the garden spot of
the world.

the past lO days sugar has advanced
about three cents per ponnd and
those who are informed as to condl-
lions predict that within a few
months the people of the United
States will BE- payine 10 or y cents.
This connu.. only produces
about half the sugar it consumes
aud England has to import all that
it uses. Since tie war began Eng
land has already purchased about
$4,000 tons of sugar in the United
States, this being the immediate
cause for the sudden and very sharp
advance.
AS large portion Of the raw su-
gar that is brought TO this country
comes from Germany, it Will be
some months after the war closes
before it will be possible to purchase
sugar at the old price.

The Farmers Opportunity

Corporations nave had lobbyists,
paid men hanging around the Capt.
tol while Congress was in session
for the purpose Of speeding the pas
sage Of favorable legislation and
blocking the passage of unfavorable
legislation, working for them. They
realized the advantage thus gained.
Due to the lack of organization,
the farmers, who are the very
back bone Of The country. have
never had lobbyists locking after
their interests. With Congress com
posed largely of lawyers, many Of
them corporation lawyers, it has
not been difficult to secure the pas
sage Of laws favorable to corpora
tions, trusts. and monopolists, es-
pecialiy when these lawyers had
At their hackS, professional lobbyists

better, fearless and faithful
