TWO PERFORMERS"

Thomas Taggert, in Indiana, and
Roger Sullivan. in Illinois, have given
notice OF their intention 20 occupy seats
in the United States senate. As both
men arc bosses in their respective states
it will be difficult TO keep them Off
the ticket. The appearance OF Snul
among the prophets was no moro
astounding than would be the advent
Of these two worthless in the United
States senate during an alleged era OF
reform. Evidently the ''uplift - is be-
ginning to lose force.
Tho only comforting thought in con-
nection with the candidacy Of Taggart
and sullivan lies in the fact that their
chances of election are slim. While
Indiana has been in the Democratic col
umn in the last two elections, it is al
most certain the lioosiers will balk at
Taggart in the event OF his nomination,
and he ism 7 much more of Bourbon

WOLVES IN FRANCE.

Wolves in France and wild boars IN
Prussia and Austria, said to bo driven
frantic by the longcontinued cold
weather and their inability to find
food, are coming out of the forests to
prey upon livestock and even human
beings. Only the other day little girl
was devoured by wolves at La Coquille,
France.

wild boars in Prussia and Austria, for

pose Of furnishing sport for the titled
hunters Why there should be raven

by the payment of $2o,o00,0o0 for

Of Intervention 10y the United States

he points out thai il would be purely

PANAMA CANAL RATES.

Panama canal tolls, as recently
established by executive order, are
S1.20 per net ton On vessels available
for passengers or freight, net ton
being considered as 100 cubic feet OF
capacity 4 reduction of 40 per cent
will be made for ships without pas
sengors or cargo.
That American steamship owners arc
awake to their opportunity in coast
wise trade, and are making elaborate
preparations for handling a great com
merce Just as soon as the lock gates are
opened, is certain. But neither the
shipowners nor anybody else will ven
ture TO predict in dollars and cents
Just how far these new rates will cut
into the freight business of the
trauscontineptal railroads.
Several well.equipped competing
coastwise lines with regular sailing
dates will engage in the canal business
from the outset, and there will be in
addition considerable feet of
tramp steamers available for the
slower bulk freight trade In coal, grain,
and lumber. 1t is estimated that the
organized steamship companies which
are actually preparing TO take share
in the business will have enough ships
,,p.1 - IN ofoh a

on every business day throughout the
year
The distance from New York via the
Straits of Magellan to San Francisco
is 1875 miles, or somewhat more
than the distance from London via the
| Suez Canal to New Zealand The
Panama Canal will cut the voyage from
New York to San Francisco TO 59lZ
miles This means reduction of more
than one-half in the length and cost
of the alI-water route.
But it should be borne in mind that
few steamships are now running via
the Straits between the Atlantic anc
Pacific seaboards. Most OF the
merchandise moved by sea is being
transported via the Isthmus OF TIE
huantepec or the lsthmus Of Panama
These are alreadv routes shorter by
half, but the cost Of trausporta
tion is enhanced by the heavy cost o.

Even before the completion Of tn
canal the growth OF the seaborn
, traffic VIA the Isthmuses of Tehuante

nifcant. The United States Depart
ment of Commerce reported at the en-,
of 1917 that the shipments of merchan

cifc ports of the United States acros
these Isthmuses had grown from 40
100000 (ncross Panama slone) in 100

and Panama in 1911. Some shipment
to foreign countries are included j

we cannot expect to eliminate all the

The fight inaugurated by DIR. Crum-
bine is to render useless the state
