On account Of the increase in the cost

necessary TO increase the limit OF cost
OF the two new Panama Canal Golfers
from $4,000 TO S,5l0OOO The first
estimate was prepared by Mai. E !.
Brown, of the Corps Of Engineers, who
is the general purchasing agent oficer
of the Panama Canal A communication
from the Secretary Of War necessitated
a revision Of this estimate, il being found
impossible TO duplicate the colliers

with the addition OF coal handlins
equipment
1t is contemplated that this work will
be done in navy YARDS or by contract.
In the absen"e OF legislation it will be
impossible 10 let contracts for the con-
struction of the two golfers, should the
bids received amount to more than 81
10000 and it is thereto. important that
the necessary authority be granted. In
view of the present condition Of the
market it is probable that the bids will
exceed the amount named
II proper authority does not exist for
entering into contracts for the con-
struction at the time the bids are opened

Will result very seriously in connection
with the operation of the canal
IL is important that these two new

supply on the Isthmus for the use OF

Gen. Goethals before the House Commit

Plans for settlement of the Mexican trouble
now are we'll under way, but the Mexican trou-
bic still is lar from settlement. Army men gen
orally are not putting much faith in a peaceful
settlement and making all the preparations
they can. But the army has not the free rein
that is necessary to make complete preparation
and may hnd itself in real trouble if intervention
eventually is forced. The army needs horses
and mules. 1t is true that motor trucks have
been found highly successful, but if war comes
the mule will be needed to supplement the work
OF the trucks, and there most likely will be a
demand for many more horses than can be fur
nished. Yet exports in horses and mules
are increasing At the present rate Of shipping
these animals to Europe the nation soon may
find itself stripped of nearly all suitable for army
purposes. In June exported $4,523ooo worth
OF horses and SI,824ooo worth of mules. In
the year ending with June we exported S73,531-
600 worth OF horses and S22,o46ooo worth Of
mules.

1t is old political adage that prosperity is
hard to beat and in the present campaign it is
likely that Republicans will find the prosperitv
OF today one of the strongest arguments against
a change OF administration. The Democrats are
losing time in getting out facts and figures
designed to show that the prosperity is not due
entirely to orders. In the Democratic text
book, soon to be issued, it is asserted that the
Wilson administration would have brought
greater prosperity than the nation has seen in
many years even though there had been no war
orders. The textbook says:
During the first twenty months of the Euro
Pean war down to March 81, 1916, the total agri-
cultural exports of the United States, as COM
piled by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce in the Department of Commerce
were S2,408,oooooo.
Total exports of manufactures for this twen-
ty-month period were $2849,ooo,ooo. Of these,
explosives and firearms were S33o,ooo,ooo.
I'm other words, munitions exports were onlv
fraction over one-eighth of the agricultural ex-
ports, less than one-eighth of the total of ex-
ports OF manufactures, and just per cent Of
the S55I4oooooo which constituted the twenty
months total. This goes far to explain why the
bank deposits of the Middle West compare so
faVorably with Atlantic Coast States

1t is undeniable that the forces of Hyphenism
and otandPatism are allied under the Republican
coiors and arc using the Republican nominee as
an instrument to serve their common ends. The

No traitor to his country ever more richly
deserved the gallows than did the unfortunate
knight and ex-oficial who was hanged in Eng
land yesterday. By every technical law his
treason was ndefensible He conspired with his
ccountrys enemies, he sought to undermine the
loyalty OF her soldiers and failing in that he
strove to ncite insurrection against govern
ment from which he had accepted service and
honors. Yet in spite of all that, there are many
friends of England who will regret that justice
that the voice of reason and expcdiency was
drowned by the angry clamors for vengeance

The pth of the Republican campaign this
year lies in a suppositon of what Mr.. Hughes
would have done if he had been President during
the storm years which the Wilson administration
has faced "If we had been there we would have
managed things differently" say the Republi-
cans; but interestingly enough they fail to spe-
city. They have all the valor and assurance of
