the money prize which is involved in
this Panama canal tolls struggle.
Congressional investigation has re-
vealed the fact that the shipping
trust and the trans-continental rail
roads are on the best of terms; and
that II we are to secure lower freight
rates as the result of the opening
x the canal, additional and very
drastic legislation must be enacted.
experts have proven that the cost Of
carrying freight from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast by water, with the
maximum canal toll added, will be
one-third less than the cost of trans
ferring it by rail across the contin-
ent. SO it is not necessary to remit
the toll in order to enable our ships
to compete with our railroads. Free
tolls do not mean lower freight rates.
but they do mean increased divid-
ends for the shipping trust

o, LORD, GIVE US RADlUM

Miraculous cures have been ascrib-
ed to the waters of Lourdes, of Carls
bad, of Glenwood Springs.
Modern science has shown that our
Lady of Lourdes appeared to the af
flicted of France with the magic
touch of radium in her hands. Per.
haps her countenance shone also
with the same mystery.
Health springs from the radio-ac
tivity of the waters. 1t restoreth
our souls.
Give US, o Lord, the fellow with
the radioactive disposition, which
sends forth through his eye and the
smile of his lips the gamma rays OF
perpetual joy in his work.
Long ago we knew there must be
something unusual and undiscovered
in the radiant personality. 1t was a
phenomenon that science was com
PEELED to leave to the jurisdiction OF
religious faith.
Now We have learned that beauti
ful character is, after all, corpus
cular. 1t radiates electronic aggre
gates of optimism and sweet thought!
and spiritual health. 1t creates hu
man society and the amenities of hu.
man friendships.
Give US, o Lord, plenty of radio-ac'
tivity in our hearts that we may diff.
fuse perpetual blessings upon our
business. Amen!-Daily Mining Rec.
