The vessel bound for the Pacific, after
passing Gatun locks, passes through
Gatun Lake, enters Culebra cut, So
called, which has been cut through
a hill nine miles, some of the way over
800 feet high. After passing through
Culebra cut, the vessel comes to the
first set of locks which are to drop
the vessel down to the level of the
Pacific Ocean. These locks are called
PEDRO Miguel. The vessel passes out
of these into Mirafiores Lake, from
this lake into Miraflores locks, which
drop the vessel down to the level of
the Pacific. 1t is but short cut from
these locks to the ocean.
The railroad ends at Ancon, little
distance southeast from the Pacific
enc of the canal. Here the govern
ment has erected a fine hotel called
the Tivoli. Here we were provided
with a fine lunch. The government
purchased the old Panama railroad.
It was of great service during the con-
struction of the canal, but as the rails

to flow out a large portion of it, an
almost entirely new line has been con-

SPEAKS ON ANTI-sUFFRAGE.
Mrs. Henry White of Brookline Ad-
dresses Large Audience of Ladies.

Mrs. Henry Preston White of Brook
line, Mass, speaking upon "Anti-suf-
frage" Wednesday afternoon at the
residence of Mrs. John F. HILL State
street, entertained large audience of
ladies from the three cities Thor
oughly conversant with her subject,
Mrs. White made clear to her audi
ence the propositions upon which the
National Anti-Suffrage Association is
based and by applying tests showed
the validity of these propositions. To
prove that this association is not com
posed of the idle-rich women of the
nation she cited as a fair example the
state of New Jersey, where of the TO-
600 women belonging to the association
5000 of them are wage earners.
Taking the question of temperance.
which the Suffragists bring forward
as their first reason why the women
should vote, Mrs. White showed that
all women are not in favor of tenn
perance and that the parties favoring
prohibition in many cities where
women vote have been defeated. up
on the temperance question the suf-
frage orators themselves are divided
declared Mrs. White. And she conclu-
sively proved that the charges which
the Suffragists make that the anti
Suffragists are allied with the liquor
interests are absolutely false.
In the states where women now
vote one might expect to see the write
slave problem and the problems of
child labor and the wage earning
women we'll settled. But Mrs. White
showed that this Is not the case at
all; that in Colorado, where women
have voted for % years women's wages
have not been increased; and the
greatest benefit which has come to
the laboring children of our country
has been brought about not by votes
but by the National Child Labor Com
mission.
Mrs. White then attacked feninism.
the belief which many women hold
that their sex should always earn its
own way, should never be dependent.
and should never leave it's routine
business for any great length of time.
And she stated that speakers upon
feminism have in many cases spoken
from the Suffragists' platform and
that the Suffragists publish and cir
culate literature of the feminists.
1.-THE clubs for women did a great
deal of good in the Panama zone when
the canal was being built" said Mrs.
White, and it was not the ballot
which brought this about" In conc1u-
sion she stated that the members of
the Anti-Suffrage party believe thor
oughly in that well-phrased sentence.
IF the ballot is a symbol of liberty,
the absence of the ballot is a symbol
of disinterested service"

Mileage Must Be Increased
but Competition for
Capital Is Keen.
CARRIERS GROWTH
BADLY HANDICAPPED
In Seven Years Roads Have Built
Only a Fourth of What Was
Needed in Five.

Seven years ago James J. Hill made his
memorable declaration that the railroads
Of the country must spend at least a
billion dollars year for five years and
build from llj.oOO TO 10000 miles Of track
if they were to catch up with the traffic.
In the decade ended with June. 1905, he
noted. railroad ton mileage had increased
10 per cent. Railroad mileage. however.
had increased 20 per cent
The traffic of the country is conGested
beyond imagination" said Mr. hin. The
commerce OF tho country is paralyzed,
which. continued. means slow death
At the end of the year in which Mr. Hin
made his speech the length of completed
railroads i'm the United states was 222 $50
miles. In the ensuing years tho n-w
mileage was as follows: 1907. j,553l5; 13N,
3.9i7.6o: 1870, 6,3022. 1910. 3.7Jo1t 1911,
q. 40. 20: 1872, about 5000 miles. The total
gain from 1905 to the end of 1912. when
tho latest figures available were computed
was % S06.3o miles or slightly more than
10 per cent. If # bc supposed that 5000
miles additional were built during 1915
hi-h ngure-the cain i'm mileage since 1905
was no more than n per cent altogether.
Between zoos and tho end of l9l2 how
ever the number of tons of frci-ht car

20 say for hts declaration Of need, how
ever. that the break brought in business
by tho panic of 1907 and the slow recovery
OF the years that followed have put less
of tax upon transportation facilities
than would have come from a growth Of
traffic like that I'm the decade before 1906
In spending their s5,5oo.OoO 600. though. the
roads have been able to construct less
than a fourth Of the new mileage I'm seven

built within five.
