PEOPLES Mandate on Canal
Tolls

President Wilson firmly reiteraes his declaration in favor
Of taxing American coaswse vessels using the Panama Canal
and insists that the repeal Of the existing law must be effected
at this session of Congress.
He has his stand In direct opposition to the expressed
will of his party and Of the country.
On this subject the Baltimore platform said
We favor the exemption from tolls of American ships
engaged in coastwse trade passing through the Panama
Canal We also favor legislation foidding the of the
Panama Canal by ships owned controlled by railroad
engaged transportation competitive with the canal
The Progressive party platform contained the following
declaration:
The Panama Canal built and paid for by the American
people, be used primarily for their benefit We demand
that the canal shall be operated to break the ranspor
aon monopoly held and msused by the transcontnen
railroads by maintaining competition with them that
ships directly indirectly owned controlled by American
railroad corporations shall not be permitted to the canal
and that American ships engaged coastse trade shall pay
tolls.
President Wilson also knows that 6292718
Presidential electors and
for the Progressive Presidential electors total of 504
out Of total of votes leaving but 4369890
votes cast for other Presidential electors The 1050N votes
Wilson Roosevelt cast in favor Of the plat
form declarations of those two parties which in respect to Pan
Canal tolls practically identical So have 35047
American favorng the exemption of American
from the payment of Panama Canal tolls In coasse trade and
$780, 800 silent on the subject
Seventy every hundred the Presden
M election favored the exemption of American vessels from the
payment tolls using the Canal when engaged the
coasws trade These American voters may
troll much newspaper prominence gentlemen
neoed with the ranscontnenta railways and their friends In
Wall Street The opposition of these rulers of traffic and their
newspaper organs to the exemption Of American vessels from
Panama Canal tolls when engaged coasse trade may appear
TO President Wilson important than the pledges of his
parys platform and the declared preferences of
American voters.
The Panama Canal bill exemptng American ships
from paying tolls passed the Senate year by
decisive majority for it in the House. After Englands
protest President Taft sent special message Congress saying
at the exemption Of American was in his
judgment justified by the terms of the treaty and in accord with
the wishes of the nation.
Will President Wilson aided by railroads succeed in
persuadng Congress change opinion already by
decisive vote and ratified at the polls by 1osbO American
citizens?

WILSON TO KAISER

DUN Bullet Protest

Washington, Sept. l7.-President
Wilson yesterday replied to the mes
sage recently received from Emper-
or William protesting against the al
legged use by the allied armies of DUN
DUN bullets. He said he had read
the communication with the grayest
concern. but that it would be unwise
and premature for the United States
to express any final judgment in the
controversy. The message was al
most identical with the speech made
by the president to the Belgian COM
mission which protested against al
legged German atrocities. A cable
gram. following the same lines, reply
ing to the protest of President Poin-
care of France, who charged that the
Germans were using dumdum bullets,
was also prepared. II was not made
public, but was known to follow close
ly the text OF the presidents message
to Emperor william.

NATIONAL FAh!HERS
HOLD CONVENTION
Government Aid Sought in Marketing
Cotton-Work of Peter Radford
Commended.

Fort Worth, Texas.-The eleventh
annual meeting of the Farmers Edu-
cational and Cooperative Union OF
America came to a close in this city
today. More than two thousand dele
gates were present, representing the
various state organizations and GOV.
ering an area from coast to coast and
from the great lakes to the gulf.
President Chas. S. Barrett, presid-
ed over the sessions and introduced
the various speakers. The keynote
Of the convention was the action OF
the convention in asking government
al aid in financing the cotton crop OF
the south.
1.-THE greatest crisis in years,
brought on by the European war;
faces the United States" said Presi'
dent Barrett in his opening address
"There is only one thing to do and
that is for the United States govern
ment to buy three or four million
bales of cotton at not less than ten
cents a pound from the farmers OF
the south to be held until a higher
price may be obtained and, when sold,
the profit, minus the expense of hand
ling to be RENTED to the farmers"
The convention went on record as
favoring the Henry bill introduced
before Congress recently, which
favors the buying of cotton by the
government as a relief Of the pres
ent situation. This bill was drafted
with the cooperation Of PresidaGt
Barrett, who believes that it fully
covers the situation.
Provision was made for the raising
of fund of 100000 for the purpose
of maintaining a comr'ittee to devise
plans for relieving ne depressing
results of the European war. This
committee will include a member
from every organized state, together
with the national officials and the ma
tional executive committee. The COM
mittee will be in charge of Peter Rad
ford, of Texas, who was appointed
chairman, and before the adjournment
of the session more than $4,000 Of
the fund had already hAen pledged
A resolution was passed condemn
ing the present war and recommend
ing the establishment Of an interna-
tional parliament and an international
court, looking to universal peace ano
good will between the nations of the
world.
Child Labor Condemned
A resolution was passed endorsing
the bill providing for the elimination
of products from interstate commerce
which are manufactured in factories
employing children less than fourteen
years of age or those employing chill
dren under sixteen years of age more
than eight hours.
A marketing plan introduced by
Harry Tracy of Texas in which a
practical system If marketing farm
products was outlined was heartily
endorsed by resolution.
Union Officials Endorsed.

ers of the Farmers Union, Mr.. Bar

rett paid a high tr.uute to the manner
In which they have co-operated with
him. They have stood steadfastly

Mr. Barrett, "and in every endeavor
for the general good. They are true,
faithful and conscientious men.
want to pay especial tribute to one
individual, Peter Radford. If l should
be asked to name one man In the
Union who has done more to tighten
my own load, who stood ready day
or night for service, who doesn't
even wait for the distress signal then
I'd have to say Peter Radford. Men
like Peter Radford keep ones faith
sound, his courage high and renew
belief in humanity" !
Union Growing Rapidly.

Union was fast growing in numbers
and in strength. Twenty-seven states
in the Union are included in its men,

this way, probably ton of coal would
be saved during the winter.
But there is greater advantage
than this. The open fire Is not only
the most cheerful fire that you can
have, but it is the best ventilator that
was ever put into house. You can
not have good air in a dwelling with
out some proper means of changing It.,
and this should be continuous. You
can open the doors and windows once
Ia a while, and let the foul air out and
the fresh, pure air from the outside
come in and take its place, but you
can't be doing this all the time. On
the other hand, a fire in the crate is
drawing the foul air from near the
floor all the time and sending it up
the chimney. Good air from outside
comes in through the cracks around
the doors and windows to take its
place. Some people make the mis-
take of using double windows and rub.

notice they usually open their pocket
books every little while to pay a doc
tors bill. There is, however, no law
to compel them to breathe pure air if
they don't want to.
Another point Of superiority about
this house is the arrangement of the
dining room, china closet, pantry and
kitchen. 1t would be difficult to in
vent an arrangement better than this
There is, in addition, good closet off
the dining room, to hold a hundred
things which woman likes to have
near by, but which are not always in
sight. The fine large dining room
window is a good place, for example,
for the sewing machine, but a. woman
does not care to store sewing ma.
chine in the dining room. With the
arrangement here given, the machine
can easily be wheeled into tie closet
and left there until wanted next time
A built-in back porch that car easily
be screened against flies and mos
uuitoes is another very good feature
1t is impossible to keep flies out of the
kitchen when they are gathered in
multitudes on the back porch. A
screen door is not sufficient. 1t is diff.
ficult and expensive to screen some
porches, but this one is an exception.
Screening can be done SO easily that
there is no excuse for leaving the
porch open as an invitation for flies
and mosquitoes.
