The Panama Canal

Representative Copley of OHIO
has been down to the Panama
Canal and he proposes TO make
the canal a free trade territory
and thus establish a sort of clear
ing house for American Com
merce, both north and south.
There is now zone arrange
ment in Hamberg, Hong Kong
and Singapore. All nations ought
to be ready to agree that there
should be joint action to protect
the canal and then there would
be no reason why warehouses
should not be built In the zone by
manufacturers in the United
States.
"A few manufacturers" Mr..
Copley said, could get together
ard send down a full cargo of
goods, put it into a warehouse
and from there ship to all parts
of the world.
Young men trained by busl-
ness houses and taught the SPAN
ish language could be sent to the
various cities of South and Cen
trail America to induce merchants
TO go TO Panama to inspect the
wares from the United States.
This project would open up a
great commercial field and a
splemnid opportunity for great
and small business. Every young
man sent down there would
doubtless mean the furnishing OF
employment for hundred FAM
lies in the United States by res.
son of the increased business. >

LEAFS RESOLUTION

Washington, Feb. I7.-Opin.
ions OF Senators conflict on the

Senatorial investigation Of the
Louisville d Nashville railroad.
As heretofore announced, con-
sideration of the resolution will
not be resumed until Senator Lea
RECEIVERS from an attack of

in the minds of some Senators
that the investigation will be
authorized.
81 don't think the resolution
has ghost OF show while the
mandamus suit is pending, "said
Senator Bradley to day. E
When informed over the teIe-
phone that report is abroad to
the effect that the resolution
likely will not be called u p again,
Senator Lea, through his secre-
tary, announced.
81 expect to call up the reso-
luton as soon as | can return to
the Senate, and | believe it will
pass"
Senator John SHARP Williams,
who as chairman of the Senate
Committee on Contingent Ex-
penses was instrumental in bring
ing about the committees in
dorsement of the resolution and
recommendation that the expen-
ses be allowed, said today:
"The matter is largely in SEN
ator Leafs hands. | haven't had
anything to do with it since my
committee reported 1T. | don't
know whether the Senate will
pass it or not. | haven't talked
to any of the Senators about it.

The Meanest Man in Town

Josheph d. Bell is city Judge
of Yonkers, N. Y. On Christ.
mas eve he found young map
In New York kissing his fiance
on the street and thereupon fined
them both SO and costs.
Some one wrote him an anony-
nous letter, telling bin he was
the meanest man IN the United
s ates.
The judge published the let
ter and remarked that he has
always been in favor of kissing
under proper conditions, but
this ought to be done in the par
lor, in quiet, but when people
kiss each other in public on the
highway, it is apt to create a
disturbance. Here is aquestion.
There are twenty million girls
who have no parlor, and if thew
are not allowed to spoon in parks
and public places how is the
great social business of counting
to be con luctedY
Our fathers, the old Puritans,
held that it was a crime to kiss
at all. There is a story that in
the good old,days a British mer-
chairman put in at the port OF
Boston.
On previous trip he had left
his wife and daughter in town,
while me picked up a cargo at
Halifax. When he returned
they went down to the wharf to
meet him, and thereon he kissed
them both.
This was too much for the Sc
lectmen and they arrested the
captain, trial him, found him
guilty and sentenced him to re.
ceive 25 lashes on his bare hack
at the whlppingpost.'

Most old people must give 10

else they suffer from constipa-
ton. The condition Is perfectly
natural. 1t is just as natural as
it Is for Old people to walk slow

youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Casca-
rets. One might as we'll refuse
to aid weak eyes with glasses as
to neglect this gentle aid to weak
bowels. The bowels must be
kept active. This is important
at all ages, but never so much as
at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh
physics. Youth may occasional
ly whip the bowels into activity.
But a lash can't be used every
day. What the bowels of the

stantly used without harm. The

WOULD
PROHIBIT
LECTURES

Washington, June 9.-Secretary Bry-
ans lecture tours cropped up again in
the house when Representative Brit
ten of Illinois, republican, introduced a
bill to make it a penal offense for any
cabinet officer or clerk of a govern
ment department to lecture for pay,
other than actual hotel and travelling
EXPENSES, and to prohibit senators and
representatives. from lecturing for pay
while congress is in session. Offend
ers would be fined $4,000, or imIris
oned for two years, or suffer both pen
alties.
Mr.. Britten launched a broadside in
a statement accompanying his bill,
in which he spared no political party,
Representative Murdoch. He said:
This bill was prepared last Sep
tember, but was not introduced when
Secretary Bryan formally declared that
he would lecture no more during the
period. The recent announcement from
Philadelphia that several members Of
congress and the distinguished sec
retary of state had signed contracts
for a period Of lectures beginning July
1, is responsible for my bill"
IT am at a loss to understand how
the secretary can consistently leave
fis office when a state Of war practi-
cally exists between this country and
Mexico and the foreign policy of our
government is being laughed at by
every civilization on earth. This Ger
tainiy is no time for Mr.. Bryan to be
hiking around the country doing one
night stands with Tyrolean yodlers,
contortionists and sleight Of hand art
lists, and I am equally opposed to mem
bers of congress doing this sort Of
thing when congress is in session.
THE Philadelphia announcement de-
clared that Secretary Bryan, senator
La Toilette and Congressman Murdock
had signed contracts for lectures be-
ginning uly 1. Speaker Clark last year
cancelled contracts at a loss to him Of
$4,000 on account of his aversion to
being away from congress-. I propose
to ask the house judiciary committee
for hearing with view to some &C
ton along this line"
Secretary Bryan announced some
time ago that all his lecture engage
ments for the coming summer were
contingent upon the state of foreign
affairs and whether he could be alb
sent from congress.

urged him to modify the order so as to
limit the dry" territory to that i'm
mediately about the Indian reserva-
tions. President Taft agreed to this,
and an order was issued modifying the
rule made, but less than a month af-
tcrward Judge c. A. Willard handed
down his decision declaring the treaty
of 1855 could no longer be applied to
close saloons outside of the reserva-
tiOns This ended the Indian depart
ment activity and the saloons reopen
ed. Most of the towns took advantage
of the situation to reduce the number
Of their saloons, and some have gone
dry" by vote Of the people. so it is
claimed that now there are only about
200 saloons in the $1,000 square miles
of territory covered by the treaty.
Earlir Decisions Sustained.
The supreme court decision today
sustains decisions made prior to that
Of Judge Willard, one by Judge Page
Morris and one by Judge c. S. Amidon,
both of whom held the provisions of
the treaty in 1855 still operative.
Towns where saloons are likely to be
closed as a result Of today's decision
include Bemidji. Cass Lake, Park
Rapids, Bagley. Detroit, Walker and
Mahnomen, and it is possible that
Moorhead will be included.

the expensivepess of the management
of the canal. 1t was pointed out tha
