SoLONS HURLED INKwELLS.
Scenes of Violence Enacted in Oklahoma
House of Representatives.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb l9.-Iu-
multuous scenes occurred in the Okla
homa House of Representatives yester-
day while the members were voting on a
section of an election law designed to
take the place of the famous grand
father law" which recently was declared
unconstitutional by the United States
supreme court because in effect it dis
franchised the negro population of the
state.
Partisan feeling over the new measure
finally eliminated in a near riot, precipi-
tated by charges of corruption and the
passing of the lie between members dur
ing which ink bottles and paperweghts
were used as weapons. A serious affray
seemed inevitable as Democrats massed
and advanced toward the Republicans
and Socialists. Arthur H. Geissler, chair
man of the Republican state central com
mittee, was knocked insensible by Rep
resentative Lorise Bryant of Big Heart,
Usage county.

We have seen right here in Barre such
wonderful results from the use of Vinol
in such cases, that we agree to return the
money to anyone who tries it and does
not get the same result Mr. Clark did.
He says:
II used Vinol for a chronic cough and
hard cold, which it seemed impossible to
get rid of. At nights would cough vio-
lently, so l couldn't sleep. | learned
about Vinol through friend who had
used it at the house where | am living,
and the result of its use in my case was
that the hard cold was soon well and the
chronic cough disappeared in very short
order" F. j. Clark, Pearl street, Am

It's the tonic iron, the extract of fresh
cod livers without oil and beef peptone
contained in Vinol that makes it such
successful remedy for chronic coughs,
colds and bronchitis. Try it on our

had not been factor in the matter.
Still, the Danish West Indies had looked
good, even then.
Today, an isthmian canal, under
American ownership and control, is in
existence. Cuba is no longer Spanish
territory, bat an independent country
looking to the United States in the mat
ter of its foreign relations. Porto Rico
is American, complete. Hence the in
creased value to us of these Danish pos
sessions. we have just acquired. They
are worth the price we have paid.
Our navy in Mr.. Stewards day was a
small affair, and our merchant marine
had been swept from the seas. Our
navy today is not nearly so large as it
should be; but we have entered upon
a policy of increase which should carry
us well to the front as a sea power, and
merchant marine altogether worthy of
US seems in prospect. Here, then, is
where this new naval base comes in. 1t
will serve the ambitious purposes we
have in view. 1t will make us the
stronger both as respects the canal and
our South Atlantic coast. In a word,
it is a notable contribution to a policy
which, if properly developed, will make
US, as we should be, invincible on the
water.

on a business basis. We are a people
with business instincts and aspirations,
and, i'll part, the canal 10 a business
proposition.
But the money loss would be a mere
bagatelle by comparison with the loss of
prestige we should sustain as a nation
if the canal should, in any way by any
power or combination of powers, be
taken from us. That would injure us
in all fields everywhere, and impose on
us the necessity of establishing our
control at every cost, both of blood and
treasure.
That we should set about the task,
however colossal, is a certainty. Our
future would depend on the accomplish
ment. The canal is in this hemisphere !;
and in the Monroe doctrine we have
made ourselves the commanding figure
of the western world. How, therefore,
could we command, or receive, the
slightest, consideration anywhere in
either hemisphere, if we submitted per-
manently to such losss

The Panama Canal.

Two warnings about the Panama
canal, its management and approaches,
both from sources entitled to the highest
consideration, have recently been given
Gen. Goethals has warned about tolls
favoring British as against American
shipping, while yesterday Capt. Sims of
the battleship Nevada warned against
the existing inadequate protection of
the canal from attack by an enemy of
America. Surely Congress could do no
better thing than to look carefully into
both matters, and remedy whatever
needs remedy in the interests of all
American rights and duties in and
around the great enterprise. If nothing
more is possible at this time, formal
investigation should be ordered, and a
report made to either this Congress or
the next covering the whole situation on
the isthmus.
We have been hearing a great deal
about "slides" in the canal; the delays
they cause the likelihood Of their long
continuance; the losses they infict, and
much more of kindred nature. But,
evidently, the "slide" of greatest con-
sequence and loss to us would be that
of the waterway sliding" out of our
control, with all that that would signify
to us as a nation.
The cost Of the canal is one thing,
and, from money point of view, big
thing. Some half billion good Ameri.
can dollars are invested, and we should
receive satisfactory money returns.
While not solely money making af-
fair, the canal SHOULD yet be conducted

A Deadly Virginia Grade Crossing

One Of the few good roads in eastern
Virginia runs from Washington to Oc-
coquan and is much used by motorists.
In respect to its surface it is an excel
lent highway, but it has several highly
dangerous features, partly the result of
economical engineering and partly in
consequence of inattention to the neces-
sites of public safety by either the
state or the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railway Company. At
LortoD a road crosses the tracks of this
disaster at every hour Of the day. All
who have used this road have felt that
the Lorton crossing was a death trap.
Yesterday this was proved by the hit
ting Of an automobile by train, caus-
ing the death Of two occupants. A coro-
ner's jury has called attention to the
conditions and demanded their correc-
ton.
At this point the road is marked by
steep grade. The approach to the
tracks from the east is tortuous, with
little space for turning on account Of a
deep ravine on the left. 1t is not un-
common for motors to be stalled at the
crest Of the hill, virtually on the tracks.
On the other side the road reaches the
tracks through cut, one bank of which
completely obscures the view, while op-
posite are buildings which likewise pre-
vent a sight of any train that may be
approaching. With the utmost precau-
tion short Of stopping and going ahead
on foot to ascertain the conditions it is
impossible for road users to cross the
tracks with any degree Of safety.
This condition has prevailed for many
years and no move has been made to
correct it until recently, and the efforts
in this direction have been thwarted
by a combination Of circumstances.
The physical conditions may make it
difficult to avoid the grade crossing on
account Of the hill, but the difficulty is
not prohibitive and work should be be-
gun without delay upon either a detour
or cutting back Of the grade to carry
the road under the tracks. Meanwhile,
a signalman should be stationed day and
night at this crossing to give warning
Of the approach of train. Continued
neglect Of this precaution is almost GER
tain to lead to additional disaster, the
responsibility for which will rest dis
tinctly upon the railroad company if
the state gives orders to put an end to
this deadly menace.
