CANAL TOLLS QUESTION

La his message to Congress on
the question of repeating the ex-
emptiOn clause Of tie Panama
Canal AIT, President Wilson shoa-
ed that it is possible to discuss the
matter without becoming excited,
without using vitlcLt language,
and without suggesting ihUt tltse

The President, bat is VIII known
to be untruthful and interruptions.
Among the opponents of repeal is
Representative Knowland, who has
made a wonderful discovery. He
asserts that repeal of the exemption
clause forever forecloscs the Unit
ed States right to pass a b~altleship

He has erected two Tasts, each
$50 feet high, on the shore Of Glou-
chester bay, for a wireless station.
He has a boat in the bay. He has
a disc or dial on shore to separate
electrical currents; he has a "di-
rector" Of his OWE planning in the
boat to receive any particular cur
rent which he sends to it, and thus
by touching buttons on horses,
makes the boat start or stop. turn
to the right Or left, or speed
through water at more than 80
miles an hour. All the time the
boat is kent in sight by a binding
searchlight. His proposition is to
protect the coast from foreign war
ships by means of torpedo boats
sent out by wireless. The boats
will be submerged and leave no.
thing in sight but, two short masts.
A hostile warship rises on the hori-
ION out of the sea. Beyond the
bow of the torpedo boat is suspend
ed a charge of dynamite sufficient
to blow a hole in the battleship be-
low the water. The torpedo boat
is rushed straight at its victim at
a speed of more than>a mile a min
ute. in a battle between fleets. and
the same thing can be done by
ships prepared for the purpose.
Human nature could not long
hold up against a terror of that
kind. Young Hammond believes
that the whole Eastern coast could
be defended, in this way, at an ex-
pense not so great as one fighting
ship costs. Surely the age of mir.
acles is close upon us.

MORE HORSES

Despite the pleasure car, the
commercial truck, the package de-
livery car, the cycle car and all the
other late PROJECTIONS of the motor
vehicle, the price of horses is in
creasing!,
This almost unbelievable fact is
noted in the current number Of
the Agricultural Outlook, a publ
catian issued by the United States
department of agriculture. And
attention is also called to the fact
that the price of mules is steadily
increasing-this in the gasoline
age"
Not only is the prices of horses
and mules increasing, but statistics
collected by the number of animals
is also increasing. In January of
this year there were Ia per cent
more horses and mules in the Unit
ed States than were shcwn by the
census Of 1910. The total number
If horses is placed at 2O,962, 900
and the number of mules at 4,449,-
600.
The average farm price of a
horse in 1910 was Sl08.03.
The average price in January of
this year was .32, an increase
uf $i.29 per head. Mules have
done still better, rising in average
value from $4,000 per head in
1910 to $123 85 this year. On this
basis the total value Of farm horses
in the United States is $2,29l,63S,-
600 and that CT mules $551,017,-
900. The total estimated farm
value of these animals is therefore
So ,842, 655, 600 which is an in.
crease of $l94,082,0 900 over the
census ear, and represents an an
nual increase of wealth from these
sources Of SO, $780, 600.

Deputy Sheriff

ence Sunday, Deputy Sheriff
Thompson said: II knew the peo-
pie of this section were worked up
over the action of the Indian in
assualting the old miner, but
thought the feeling would subside
and that | would be safe in holding
the Indian in the Jail here until
after the examination was held.
Of course, we cannot do anything
at this time until we know whe-
ther it is a case Of assault or one
Of murder. Saturday afternoon
took the Indian to the scene of
the crime and his actions there were
such as to arouse the frenzy of
the citizens when those who were
with me reported to the public on
their return. The Indian admitted
the crime at the cabin and laughed
about it. When he saw the pool of
blood in front of the cabin he
laughed and said: "That is where
| hit him first" Then he told of
hitting the old man time after in
the cabin and treated it as a Joke.
81 brought the Indian hack and
landed him in Jail and then went
up town. / 500 saw that trouble
was brooding as everyone was quiet
and appeared to be very busy. |
thought that | was receiving a lit
tie more attention than usual from
some Of my friends and | realized
that | was being watched. When
people are doing a lot Of loud talk
ing there is nothing to fear but
when they gather in punches of two
or three, talk in a low voice for a
few minutes and then go home, it
is time to be On the lookout. This
was the action all over town and I
heard an officer in another town
say there was lynching talk there.
