Passing Through Panama Canal

A vessel passing through the locks
of the Panama canal will have all its

same manner that the movements of
a train are controlled in entering a
complicated railroad terminal. At
Gatun, Pedro Miguel and MiraflOres,

perform every other operation neces-
sary for letting a ship through, simply
by throwing a succession of switches,

having to look beyond the indications
shown on the board before him. Fur.
thermore, the mechanism is so inter.
locked that it will be impossible for
him to set any machine in motion ex.
cept in the proper order and at the
proper time.
The triple flight of locks at Gatun
extends for a distance of $500 feet,
while the operating machinery is scat.
tered over about 1000 feet of this dis,
lance. This is all controlled from a
board, "a feet long, which is virtually
a miniature of the locks and the opera
ating machinery, and is located in an
operating tower at the foot of the up
per fight of locks. A picture of this
wonderful control board appears in

Met With Serious Loss

One of the party was telling how he
had lost a grip on a railroad train the
other evening when Congressman Dav,
i'd e. Finley of South Carolina, gen.
erously smiled. He said that it re-
minded him of the serious loss recent
ly sustained by a citizen of his own
state.
The aforesaid friend had occasion to
go on quite a railroad journey, and
when he reached his destination the
brotherly party who met him at the
station noticed that he seemed con-
s%iderably depressed.
"What in the world is the matter
with you Jake?" he asked. "YOu look
as cast down as a defeated candidate"

To Probe Cause Of Crime

Chicago, May 20.-The judicial and
police campaign to eliminate crimes
of violence and drive gunner out of
the city took a new turn tonight
when Mayor Harrison appointed a
council committee of five to investi-
gate the causes of such crimes, their
frequency, and the best means of pre-
venting them.
The committee IA appointed upon
a resolution by Alderman Merriam,
who was named chairman.
"1n the last four years, the yearly
average has been 14O murders, 1900
burglaries, 1000 l%arcenies and 1000
assaults" Merriam said. 1.-THE inves-
tigation is to determine whether the
trouble lies with the police. the laws.
the courts, or the juries."

New Army Machine Gun

A new weapon has been provided
for the United States army which is
far more efficient than any heretofore
adopted. 1t was invented and used
by the French military authorities,
and already nearly a hundred ha 'e
been purchased by the United States.
The new gun which is described in
the June Popular Mechanics nlaga.

easily be carried by a soldier. Two
men are required to operate it. both
OF whom lie fiat on the ground. pre-
senting a small mark to the enemy.
One man feeds the cartridges into the
breech of the gun in clips Of 25 each,
while the other aims the weapon and
directs the firing mechanism. The
Il will fire separate shots or will
operate automatically, in which case
800 shots may be fired per minute. At
long range a third soldier ascertains
the range by the use Of binoculars,
and reports the effect Of the bullets.

able river must run up hill, since all
the rivers running in a normal direc-
ton are present or accounted for.
But now comes the Colonel with
the decisive reply that the maps are
all wrong. Isn't that a simple and
effective explanation, and isn't it
queer that nobody had thought of it
before? All you have to do when
you discover a river and the scientific
sharks" prove that 1t must run up
hill if it is a mysterious stranger in
the company of rivers, is to say that
the maps are all wrong. That settles
everything. What answer can any
body make? How are they going to
prove that the maps are right? To be
sure, how also is the Colonel going
to prove they are wrong? But he
doesn't have to prove It. He doesn't
have to prove anything. He says a
thing is so or is not so, and that's
final. The argument is closed.
True, some fairly detailed state
ments have emanated from the Bra
lillian wilds that the "discovered'
river a planted" for the Colonel's
benefit: that the route of exploration
had been carefully mapped out in adj
and that the stage had been
set, sans only the movies, for the "dis-
covery." But nobody thinks for a
moment that the Colonel does not
firmly believe he discovered a river or
that he would voluntarily put himself
in the Doc Cook class. AS rivers run
nowadays, it is quite possible that
some of them defy the laws of grav-
ity. Perhaps that is the way matters
and rivers run down in Brazil, where
things generally are q bit topsy-turvey.
The Colonel has missed a lot of fun
while he has been exploring. He has
undergone some arduous experiences
and it would be most disconcerting to
find at last that he had missed his
mark when he thought he had made
a dead shot.
But nobody can beat the Colonel
when it comes to wiggling out of a
tight place. Tell him his river was
already discovered, or that if it is not
secondhand it must run up hill, and
he will smile toothfully and say:
"The maps are all wrong. I've been
there and | know. The map-makers
are m%ollycoddles and river-fakers.
My hats in the ring and my records
cleaner than a hounds tooth. l won't
run as a republican, but l will stand
pat on the proposition that the maps
are liars!"-Kansas City Journal.

WAR N BUSINESS

War anywhere always affects the
prices of some commodity every
(Awhere, for it always means Interrupt
ton of production and trade. Ever
since the civil war took farmers from
their fields, reduced production, de-
based the currency and created what
are still known as war prices" any
war has been expected to advance
prices of agricultural products. This
may account for the numerous ques.
lions about the probable effect, should
war with Mexico ensue, on markets
for grain, livestock, wool, cotton, etc.,
says the National Stockman and Farm.
er.
There is 10 aso to expect any
great effect OF prices of most agri-
cultural staples in case of war. Mex
leo has been cutting a small figure in
the markets of other countries recent
1y because of internal strife which has
interfered with industry and CON-
merce and a blockade will not have
any great influence on the worlds
trade. If an American army occupies
Mexico it must be much larger than
our regular army. The men who form
it must cease to be producers and be-
come consumers. This in itself will
have some effect on all our indus
tries. To supply this army the agri-
cultural products needed will be food,
clothing, horses and mules. Some en-
largement of the demand for fresh,
cured and canned meats will natural.
ly come. More wooden and cotton
goods will be used. Horses and mules
must be had, for the nature of the
country and the character of the war
will call for much cavalry and many
commissary teams. Aside from horses
and mules this country ear supply
its army's needs without advancing
prices very much.
Let us not forget that the country
will emerge from IN war poorer than
when it went into it. Vast sums must
be wasted, and the people must pay
them in the form of taxes. The gov
eminent gets it's money for war or
for anything else from the people by
taxation, visible or invisible. The
more war costs the more the people
must pay and the less they will have
for themselves. Let us not look on any
war as a benefit to agriculture, for in
the end it will not be. Farmers will
have to pay their share of it's cost
whether they realize it or not. We
believe that Mexico should be paci-
fed, with a club if necessary; but we
wish also that every man in this coun-
try or any country had to walk up to
a counter and lay down in cash what
war or armed peace costs him. Then
he would realize it, and wars would be
fewer and farther apart.

Defends Tolls EXEMPTION

Washington, May 19.-Predicting
that the day would come when the
democratic party would abandon it's
opposition to ship subsidy just as it
had changed it's attitude on slavery,
the civil war. the gold standard and
free trade, Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire, today defended tolls ex-
emption for American coastwise YES
sells passing through the Panama ca
nal.
He said that $25, OOO, 900 worth of
church property in Washington ex-
empted from taxation was as much a
subsidy as the tolls exemption. To
be consistent, the democrats should
erect a special toll gate at Cape Hen
ry and off Sandy Hook.
