That the Panama Canal will not
be swallowed up by an earthquake
in the future and that the trouble
some slides now being encountered
will eventually be conquered and the
great waterway made an unqualified
success, is the opinion of Donald F.
Mac Donald, formerly canal geologist
and now mining geologist for the
United States Bureau of Mines. Mr..
Mac Donald, who spent several years
on the Isthmus making careful
study as to fragility of the earth's
crust, has just made an official re-
port to the effect that, while through
seismic disturbances the whole
Isthmus is rising at the rate of three
feet every hundred years, this will
not necessarily injure the canal As
far as he sees, it will merely mean
a little additional expense in the
dredging of the big waterway. The
cause of this rising, he says, is the
sinking of the ocean bottom outside
the Isthmian shore waters. Every
time there is a little movement OF
the ocean bottom, the .Isthmus, tc be
in harmony, joins in. He also sug-
gests that if the rising motion be
rapid, then there would be serious
danger for the canal, but, that from
what has happened in recent geo
logic time, it may be concluded that

Harry Hull voted just like Senator
Cummins, of course-agin' the gov
ent.''-Davenport Democrat.
The trouble with the Democrat
and lot of others like it is that
they think the democratic party is
the government and the president is
the democratic party. From their
viewpoint this is government OF
the president, by the president and
for the president. Substitute the
word king or emperor or czar for
that of president and that sort of a
government doesn't differ much from
the kind they have in Europe. It
doesn't matter whether the president
is right or wrong in this country
men have right to disagree with
him. Over in Europe they dare not.

The Democratic national convention
was sent to ST. Louis because Champ
Clark told the committee it was neces
sary to do so if Missouri was to be
saved to the Democratic party.
About a month ago Ex-Governor
David r. Francis was appointed Am
bassador to Russia because it was felt
necessary to give Missouri some added
and special favor of federal patron
age if the State was to be "saved -
for Democracy.
Now the Missourians are demanding
that Gov. Major be nominated for Vice
President in order to 'save" the
State.
1t surely does take a heap of sal
yation' for Missouri Democrats these
days. But the fact remains that Mis-
souri, cannot be "saved. - The Dem
ocracy down there is beyond salvation.
AS in 1904 and 1908, Missouri will this
year give her electoral vote to Re
publican President-and in addition
she will elect a Republican State ad-
ministration and a Republican United
States Senator, together with such
other pickings, Congressman and the
like, as go with an overwhelming po
litical victory.

The banana is a slippery article Of

over bright green banana after it

without running foul of the gluttonous,
adjustable teeth of the vegetarian.
The banana is grown for profit and
also for the benign purpose of chok-
ing the appetite down to a slow walk
Three or four long, freckIed bananas
eaten just before supper will cause the
most rugged appetite to lie down on
its back and gasp for breath This IS
one reason why astute boarding house
landladies always keep bananas on the
dining table and urge their use as a
cure for sick headache, the grip and
inflammat0ry rheumatism.
The banana IS provided by nature
with a stout oyercoat, which has to
be peeled off and thrown on the side

up some innocent party who fails to
see it coming. If Congress were not so

the "year of the jitney.' 1t was the
year when trolley roads suffered all

to the mistake of the hackers of the

is the same mistake that was made by
numberless Independent telephone com

WHY THE CARPENTER co. QUIT

WHY THE CARPENTER co. QUIT.
The Carpenter Organ Co of Brattle-
boro has decided to hquidate its bus
mess and will henceforth employ just
enough men to complete the orders
now on hand. In distinction from this
may be noted the splendid prosperity
OF the Estey Organ company, which
IS now employing n large number of
hands, and is a vital factor in the
prosperity OF Brattleboro. But the
management Of the Estcy company
realized long since that the day of the
par.or organ had gone, and that the
piano was taking its place. Hence
they turned their attention to the
manufacture of pipe organs and pi-
amos and left the old cabinet organ to
rest amid the dusty alcOves Of the for
gotten past. This is wise business
management. And vet we find some
villages and towns that are run in the
way they were run by the daddies Of
50 years ago, and many churches and
a few schools that cling to the OLD
ways of doing things, and then won
der why they are not more prosperous.
Springfield Reporter.
The Reporter hits wide of the mark
i'll several respects in the foregoing
especially in its intimation that the
decision of the Carpenter company to
liquidate was due to a decline in the
demand for parlor organs. For the
seven months previous to the out
break of hostilities in Europe the bus
mess Of the Carpenter company was
the largest it ever experienced i'll thai
length of time and it had been il
business 66 years, - years as an in
corporatcd concern. 1t catered es
pecially to the foreign market AM
when that market was cut off and tn
: company unable to deliver its goods i
: had to quit The Carpenter company
was a victim of the war and not of
decline in demand, for when the wa
broke out it was trying TO meet a
l unprecedented demand.
1t is true that organ makers in gen
2 eral have noted q decline in the us
! Of cottage organs, and the Estey Or
gan company has more than offset tn
decline, so far as its business is cor
, cerned, by the manufacture Of pipe OF
gans, but the Estey company is sti
i shipping several hundred cottage Of
gans a month to markets which 1t ha
established at home or in countries no
involved in the war, and it is putin
out an increasing number of reed chaI
ell organs. The Estey pianos are nc
manufactured in Brattleboro, and tina
branch of the Estey firm s bushes
has practically no effect upon the Bra
: tleboro plant.
