"Uncle Joe" Says He
and G. O. P. Will Win
Former Speaker Differs With Presi-
dent Wilson on Panama Tolls
.------- Matter
ST cciGi to The Telegraph


New York. April S.-Uncle Joe Can
mon, former Speaker of the House, is
at the Waldorf. He believes the Dem
ocratic party is headed straight for
perdition. Here are few sentences
from characteristic Interview:
Let me tell you about the Republi-
can party, son. I wouldn't trade even
on It's chances for victory in 1916. Not
even, by darn sight. What's more,
II thlnk Wen win a majority of the
House next November.
Tn just as such as I'm sitting here
that III be returned to Congress next
November. They only beat me 700
votes last time, but the Bull Moose
are petering out in my district and
the Republicans are getting lot more
gumption. My judgment is that the
Bull Moose is losing out all over the
country.
But you wait a year or two and
you'll find that the American people
will want to kick the Democratic
party into the middle of the Atlantic
I Ocean. Why? Look at business.
Since I've been in New York l have
found out the truth about business.
Things are mighty quiet-mighty
quiet, let me tell you. Same in Chi
caSO. same everywhere II you want
TO tell the truth. When you turn over
American markets to the whole world
what can you expect? Look at the
railroads They're cutting expenses to
the bone and they aren't buying any
thing.
Now, Tine nothing against Wood
row Wilson. He's high class man.
But he's dead wrong on the Panama
tolls question. If the tolls exemption
provision is repealed 1t will come pret-
ty near being the ruinatioa of our
coastwise trade. 1t costs twice as
much to operate American ships as ii
roes to run vessels of other nations
The government ought to equalize con-
1itions. Every other nation does for
| its coastwise trade.
Il say there. isn't a thing in the
Hay-Paunceforte treaty which forbids
us dealing fairly with our own ships
| How about the question of national
! lefense? Where will the repeal leave
us? l believe the Panama tolls ques-
/ ton will be good issue for us Repub-
| licans. But we will see about that
| later"

Senator Oliver Against
Panama Canal Repeater

Washington, d. c., April 3.-In a
statement on his position regarding
!, the proposed repeal of the exemption
, clause in the Panama Canal act United
States Senator Oliver, of Pennsylvania,
says:
After considering the subject from
every point of view | have decided to
vote against the repeal l voted
against exemption in the last Congress
because it then seemed to me that it
was a violation of our treaty obli-
cations, and ! am one of those who
believe in sticking to a bargain, no
matter at what cost; but the subse-
quent discussion has convinced me
that this point is at least debatable,
with the weight of opinion in favor of
the contention that no violation of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is involved.
Less than two years ago the Con-
gress, by an overwhelming majority,
decided in favor of eXempting our own
coastwise shipping from tolls. That
action stands as the settled policy of
the American people.
"The principal objection of Great
Britain to tolls exemption is not ON
account of the Canadian Pacific, as is
commonly believed, but on account of
the Tehuantepec Railway, owned by
Cowdray. This railroad, due to the
failure of the Mexican government to
put up it's share of the money, is now
practically under lease by Cowdray for
fifty-one years, but at the end of that
time 1t will pass into the hands of the
Mexican government.
1T cost $4,000, 900, practically all
Of which was put up by British capl-
alists, and free tolls to American
coastwise ships, which includes the
ships running from New York to
Hawaii, would make that entire in
vestment worthless. Piercing the mar
row part of Mexico just above the
Yucatan Peninsula, il is only 190 miles
long, and is one of the most perfectly
equipped roads in the world.

John Brown began to snuff coke"
in January. 1913. He then held a
place in a big bank. His salary was
$500 month, and there was every
indication that he would be promoted
regularly. At thirty years of age he
might have become an assistant cash.
Ter, and that position meant something
in the bank in which he worked.
But he liked his coke" He found
he couldn't stop. He got so that he
had to slip off to corner during
working hours and snuff" He came
back to his desk and worked brilliant
ly after these expeditions. Every
time he was called in by an official
of the bank to explain something he
took a snuff" HIS mind worked ike
a finely made engine, and the officials
he met could not help admire him.
Six months later he had become so

careless that all his friends asked him
If he We're i'll. Sometimes he didn't
show up at the bank for days He lost
his job, of course. He didn't have
ambition to look for another, and his
idle time was spent with the other
coke fiends he had become acqua!nt-
ed with. He even adopted their fash
on OF dress and he slouched around
in soiled suit and a cap-the get-up
of the average tough with one-quarter
his education and breeding. His friends
the few who stuck to him after they
learned the cause-and his relatives
tried to help him. But he preferred
to live the life of his kind. They didn't
know how he ate, nor where he slept,
nor when. They never saw him eX-
cept when he was reduced to desper-
alton by his craving for "snuff' and
had to face them to beg few dollars
Nine. months after that Brown had
become hopeless tramp. He had

been in the county Jail or the work
house so often that the keepers ex-
pected him regularly. But he was
never sent up for term long enough

periodically from his confinement he

SO he might get chance to beg a

other snuff"
Brown had been reduced to the
position where he never had money to
buy enough of the drug. Because of
that he seldom ate. He would rather
'snuf' than have a square meal.
Three months from now he will die.
II he catches cold he will fall an easy
victim of pneumonia. There isn't the
barest possibility of his living to see
