THE SPHTUQHT on r AH AM A.
All this talk about tho lack of direct
and positive Information aa to what la
going on at Panama must' cease. Is
the earlier daya of the canal work
strange stories of graft, mismanage
ment, bad cooking and yellow fever
used to filter through the' malls and
bo exaggerated In tho sensational
newspapers. Many were led to believe,
through the efforts of faultfinders like
'Poultney Blgelow, that this govern
jment waa simply repeating on a larger
seals ths errors of the French, who
lost millions in money and thousands
of lives in a futile effort to get the en
terprise well under way. Now all that
haa changed.
Ths canal sone haa a newspaper,
called The Canal Record, edited by
Joseph Bucklin Bishop, who haa been
drawing a salary of $10,000 a year
from the canal commission since its
first organization.. Bishop waa first
placed on duty at Washington as press
agent of tho commission, and got Into
all aorta of difficulties with the newspapers.-
He atuck through the various
changea of the commission, however,
and a few months ago waa sent to the
sone and The Canal Record Is the
consequence. It is a fancy price, of
course, to pay an editor of a country
weekly, but living is high In the canal
sone and the light he Is throwing on
tbe situation there will satisfy the
Country that he la earning his money.
Editor Bishop wisely refrains from
writing editorials. Aa hla paper Is
printed at government expense, any
opinion he might express might come
under the suspicion of being biased,
so ho is confining himself entirely to
collecting and disseminating facta
about the canal and lta workers. The
Initial number of The Canal Record
Indicates that he haa apparently over
looked nothing. Ho tells us, for In
stance, how many cubic yards of earth
were taken from ths Culebra cut the
same day that the Ancon Rabbits de
feated tbe Colon Neversweats In a
closely contested game of base ball by
a score of 64 to 46. The All-Kentuck-lans,
wo learn, are going to play the
All-Georgians next week, and chuck
beef is Z centa a pound. The
libraries for the four recreation build
ings have arrived and 'that dressed
chickens (milk fed) are quoted at
1.40 each. Immediately under some
gossip about ths Culebra clubs Is the
notation "that 6 cents will be allowed
for the return of the bottle," but no
hint of what the bottle Is supposed to
contain or Its cost In the filled state. .
An interesting sidelight is thrown
upon the pay and allowance of the em
ployes by this announcement: ''
On Augunt IB the commission adopted a
resolution providing that the allowance of
furniture for families of employes receiving
lesa than 1400 per month, be fixed as fol
lows: "
1 Ranee. 1 Refrigerator.
1 Double bed. 1 Double mattress. .
I Pillows. 1 Kftohen table., .
I Kitchen chairs. 1 Dining table. , tv
' I Dining chalra. 1 Sideboard. '
! 1 Chiffonier. , l Pressor. ;
t Center tables, 1 Bedroofo mat.
1 Mosquito bar. I Wicker rockers.
That for employes receiving S400 per
month, or over, the following , additional
articles be authorised: ;
I Dining chairs. 1 Serving table.
1 Chiffonier. 1 Dresser. -
1 Parlor desk.' " 1 Bedroom mai
1 Towel rack. 1 Parlor wicker rocker,
t Parlor chairs. 1 Morris chair.
I Porch swing. 1 Porch double seats.
That the Issue of beds, mattresses and
mosquito bars In excess of this allowance
be authorised to families with children.
Under the circumstances, future com
plalnta of ill treatment made by canal
employee will not arouse aa much sym
pathy aa might otherwise be the case
If Editor Bishop's paper were not at
hand with the facta. Only one criti
cism can bo made against The Canal
Record. We note that It la issued
free to employes of the oanal cone and
may be had at stations of the Panama
railway at 6 centa per copy. It ought
to be issued free to everyone.
ONLT A MARK'S XCST
Some of the smart politicians in the
vicinity of the state houce, who have
access to the columns of the Lincoln
papers, have unearthed a new mare's
nest under the election of state rail
way commissioner in Nebraaka this
yaar. Tb'ey have made the tremen
dous discovery that In issuing his
proclamation for tho primary election
the governor called for the nomination
of a candidate for "railway commis
sioner" when the place to be filled by
tho votera ia that of "railway commis
sioner to fill vacancy," being the un
expired term to which Mr. Clark
was temporarily appointed.
Tbe political thimble-rlggera argue
that with no nomination on any ticket
for "railway commissioner to fill va
cancy," the nominations for "railway
commissioner" do not count and that
all tho candldatea will have to run by
petition In order to get on the right
race track. In support of this brief
they cite the decision made in both
primary and regular election between
the choice of "university regent" and
the choice of "university regent to fill
vacancy," and likewise between the
choice of Judje of the district court la
certain districts in which a judge is
also to be choseu to fill vacancy.
All this Is nothing but splitting
straws and resorting to fine-spun tech
nicalities. Only one place on the State
Railway commission ia to be filled thla
year and the people voting for candi
dates for railway commissioner at the
recent primary understood that they
were making a nomination for that
place. In the case of the regents and
of the Judgeships there are two terms
to be filled and the addition "to fill
vacancy" is simply to designate which
Is which and would have been accom
plished just as well by numbering
them "one" and "two." Nothing of
the kind was necessary to Identify va
cant placea on the railway commission.
Tho Intent of ths voters la plain and
no ono haa been misled by ths desig
nation on the primary, ballot. Ws
doubt whether any court in the land
would npset nominations on such ..a
flimsy pretext drawn solely from tho
imagination.
AS0THSR CUBAN RKVOLVTiON.
Governor Ms goon haa shocked the
Cuban idea of fitness and spoiled a
long lino of distinguished precedents
by throwing five Cuban "generals"
Into jail on a charge of "disturbing
tho peace." These titled' Cubana were
found to be conspiring against the gov
ernment and planning a new insurrec
tion. Iq the old days, they would have
blustered for a time and then agreed
to ' a parley, followed by a plpe-of-peace
smoke and a. banquet, which
would have fixed the aoclal status of
the revolutionists for all time. Gov
ernor Magoon did not look at it in that
Hght and the result ia that a Cuban
revolutionist, when ho decides to rev
olute, is liable to be thrown in the
bullpen like an ordinary vagrant.
The trouble In Cuba Is aoclal, more
than political. Neither ths Spaniards,
who make up a large part of the pop
ulation, nor the native Cubana, seem
to cars very much about the form of
government or Its stability. They want
to be In office, wear gold lace and col
lect tribute from plantera and business
men. Neither side is content under
other conditions and there ia no prom
ise, however optimistic some American
officials on the island try to be, that
any government would last more than
a few months after the American
troops were withdrawn. The property
interests In Cuba, represented largely
by foreigners, prefer annexation to the
United States, while the proletariat
wants a republic on the South Amer
ican plan, with the privilege of chang
ing It by revolution once a month, or
oftener.
The element of humor is Injected
Into the latest threatened revolution
by the published statement in a Ha
vana cable that "It ia persistently
stated here that money to finance this
revolution was furnished by Wall
street." Wall street Is using Its funds
for defense, not offense.
A DIMINISHED BALAtiCt OF TRADE
Statistics of the American foreign
trade for the month of -August, Just
Issued by the government, reveal ah
unusual condition In showing that the
country's balance of trade Jor the
month was less than for many years.
The exports tor the month were val
ued at $127,000,000, or $2,0OD,O00
less than for August last year, while
the imports amounted to $115,000,
000, an increase of $20,000,000, and
within $2,000,000 of . the amount of
the exports. The figures tor tbVeight
months ending with August make a
more favorable showing, although the
exports are still less than for the eight
corresponding months . of last year,
while the Imports show constant gain.
Our balance of trade, however, Is
hot threatened with any permanent
impairment. The Imports for the last
two months have been unusually large,
due to the fact that the lmportera
make most of their purchases ia July
and August, and that the home" de
mand for foreign made goods is greater
than ever before.' Owing to the late
ness of the season, the crop movement
has hardly begun, but all Europe ia
bidding for the products of the Amer
ican farm and the shipments for the
next three months are certain to more
than offset the losses shown during tbe
summer. It la significant, too,, that a
large share of the recent Imports rep
resent materials to be uaed In manu
factures -here. Many American manu
facturers are importing raw materials,
manufacturing them and then com
peting with . European manufacturers
both here and abroad.
The dissolution by the federal court
of the restraining order prohibiting
the 8tate Railway commission from
proceeding to revise the grain ratea
postpones the plank in the democratic
State platform calling for an extra ses
sion of tbe legislature immediately, if
not aooner, to perform thla work by
direct legislation. Adapting an ex
pression from an eminent democrat,
this characterlsea tbe democratic plat
form In Nebraska aa "the great post
poned." The democratic candidate for su
preme Judge in Nebraska is soliciting
votes on tbe plea of nonpartisanshlp,
expressing the belief that the court
would be atrengthened if the judgea
were not all of the same political
faith. Four years ago when the demo
pops had two of the three Judgea and
were trying to get the third, they for
got all about this convincing argu
ment. It is to be noted that the federal
grand Jury just discharged aaved ita
face by bringing in an indictment for
bootlegging on the Indian reserva
tions. No federal grand jury In thla
district could go home with a clear
conscience without laying the founda
tion for prosecuting at least one bad
white man for selling attenuated fire
water to .good Indiana.

BACKERS AND ADVERTISING.
Pablleily Neeeeeary far Development
of the Baalaeaa.
' Baltimore American.
Year by year the theory of advertising
gains new adherenta from thoae who pre
viously had been skeptical of the advan
tages derived. Financial Institutions, in
particular. hSve been ultraconaervatlve In
publicly pressing their claims for the pat
ronage of the people through the advertis
ing columns, one of their arguments being
that It ia undignified to do so. Gradually,
however, bankers are coming to realise
that their business relations with the pub
lio may be made more profitable and more
Satisfactory to all concerned by means of
official chats through advertisements.
Greater attention than ejer Is being paid
this subject, as evidenced by the fact that
the American Bankers' association, in con
vention at Atlantic City, Set aside on Its
progrsm a place for the consideration . o
the topic. The secretary of one of New
York's largest trust companies In a paper
boldly championed the causa of banking
publicity. "In theae days." he ssld, ''ad
vertising of some kind Is as much ef a
necessity to your business enterprise aa
your cleetrte light and your typewriter: you
can do without them, but how much better
can you do with them?"
In his discussion ef methods he paid a
high compliment to the newspapers aa a
profitable medium. The best results are
to be obtained, he haa found by experience,
by a judicious combination of persmal rep
resentation and newapaper advertising. He
inaisted that advertising Is not a game of
chance, but Is productive of aura and profit
able results. It Is certain that fnany bank
ers wUl leave the convention with entirely
new views on the dignity of advertising. In
the light of the experience nf thla eminent
authority. Those banks whlcii make a prac
tice of advertising are gradually fixing
themselves in the minds of) the pnople and
a growing clientele ts being built up. The
publio goes to the store that advertise
and their confidence goes out to the bank
which Is able to Impross them with Its re
sources, ts reliability and Us willingness to
extend courteous accommodations. Every
day proves that It paya for a joian to ad
vertise, whether he be banker, broker or
merchant.
OS PRESIDENTIAL SIRING UN PI
New Terk'a Asplravat for the Deaao
erl Noaalaatloa.
Leslie's Weekly (rep.).
One of th moat recent booms for the dem
ocratle nomination for the presidency la
that of Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler. the lieu
tenant governor of New York. It ts said
to have been favorably eonaldered by a
conference of prominent democratic leaders,
and there are as yet no Indications that he
would decline the honor of a nomination.
Those who favor Mr. Chanler'e candidacy
point to hla remarkable run In the laat
state campaign, and one of them says that
he la the only democrat who could carry
New York State. The fact that he Is a mil
lionaire does not preclude the possibility of
his making sn acceptable candidate, they
think, since he haa shown himself to be a
"plain democrat," and to be Interested In
serious political questions rather than In
the frivolities of the fashionable set. Mr.
Chanler, who Is a member of th Astor fam
ily. Is 38 years old.. lie was admitted to
the bar after completing his law studies
at Columbia college, and took a oours In
International law - and Jurisprudence at
Cambrlde university. He has practiced in
the criminal courts t New York City,
frequently taking the eases of persons with
out money to pay an attorney, and has been
known aa the "philanthropic lawyer." He
was prominent In the Irish hma-rul move
ment, having eampalgned for four year
In Ireland In behalf of th Parnelllte party
He has delivered several addreeses which
have been remarkable for good sense In
their discussion of the relations of capital
and labor.
Dominance of Roosevelt Policies.
Portland Oregonlan (rep.).
Mr. Bryan'a doom has been sounded In the
expressions that arise within Ms own party.
When on prominent democrat calls upon
him to second th nomination of Roosevelt
and make It unanimous, and others ask
him to step out of th way n the Interest
Of party harmony, there ia no possible
chance of his election unless the republican
party should do the almost Impossible, The
Roosevelt administration has the approval
of not only all republicans, but also of
more than half the democrats. It Is dlsan-
I proved only by that small number of per
sona who have no polttca except self-interest.
Candldatea for the republican nomina
tion who are known to be out of sympathy
with the president have completely dropped
out of publio notice. Nothing In future poli
tical eventa seems surer today than that
the American people will elect a president
who Is known to be at heart an advocate
of Roosevelt ideas. Mr. Bryan could do
nothing to make himself more popular with
the people of this country than to endorse
the present administration in general. It
is not likely, however, that even he could
bring enough pressure to bear to Induce
Roosevelt to reconsider his determination
not to be a candidate again. 1
Forcing; HI Thunderbolt,
Brooklyn Eagle (ind. dem.).
In the absence of a demand from "the
masses," Bryan will not run for the pres
idency next year. He Insists upon this as
a condition precedent. He explains that
he would rather avoid the stress and th
strain of another tight, but that he Is will
ing to waive hla preference for the good of
the cause. In other words, he Is In a sacri
ficial frame of mind.
This projects a difficulty. There would
be no trouble If the masses eould be called
to order by a presiding officer and asked
to comply with the condition; but they
cannot be assembled. Nor are there any
other means by which they can give what
may be called the requisite assurance. In
other, words, the stipulation I Impossible.
Fortunately, like the preference, It may be
waived, . .. (. .''''' , .
' The , Kagle ' regards" itself' as authorised
to announce that Mr. Bryan will not be
Insistent. He will,' aa tt were, take the
demand for granted. He will proceed on
the assumption that, could the masses be
aotually gathered . under one roof, or be
neath no roof at all, they would then and
there give expression to a desire not to be
satiated by anything but another canvass
by the peerless leader, once known aa the
boy orator of the Platte.
. There Is nothing new In this. Mr. Bryan
has not been waiting for compliance with
his condition. On the contrary, he has sup
plemented It With a program, somewhat
Indefinite, but far from uninteresting. He
has not consulted a calendar, He says
the country wilt hear from, him "In a few
weeks." He has not said wpat thunder
bolt he will forge, but he has explained
that he will take a precaution quite un
usual. .
There is to be no premature explosion.
The thunderbolt is to be held in reserve
long enough to reduce risk to a minimum.
It Is to be submitted to distinguished dem
ocrats for spproval or revision or con
demnation, as the case may be. For Mr.
Bryan-hla is a new departure, sug
gested by an unfortunate experience.
There Is no doubt that his government
ownership projectile had the wrong time
fuse.

tory of presidential csndldacles, for the
man who responding to little If any popu
lar demand, but prompted by a purely
personal ambition announces and urges
himself aa a candidate for America's
highest offlce. The shore-lines of our polit
ical continent are strewn with the wrecks
of such aspirations. The very fsct that a
man. however able. Is seen to be planning,
working, spending money and pulling wires
to secure a nomination, which should only
come as the free gift of a party apprecia
tive of great public services, is sufficient,
with most Americans, to mark him as unfit
for the honor. True worth never lacks a
better spokesman than self. Hence it Is
that none of the men now urging them
selves for the suffrages of either party
will probably secure a nomination; or, get
ting It, can win at the polls. No man "In

sonal ambition only. In likely to be heard

TAFT.
Butte Gasette: At the republican state
convention held In Lincoln, the platform
standa for Secretary Taft as our next
prealdent. Which la highly satisfactory to
the Gasette.
Nebraska Liberal: The faot that Ne
braska was the first state to endorse Sec
retary Taft puts the republicana of this
state'ln the public view and In the event
of the heavy weight war lord winning the
nomination puts Editor Rosewater In a
position near the throne.
Kearney Hub: Nebraska republicans are
not taking any backward step. They stand
for the Roosevelt policies and they ae for
the leader In 1901 who stands best for those
policies. They prefer, of course, that
Roosevelt be th nomine. But Taft, next
to Roosevelt, can meet the requirements.
Tekamsh Journal: Nebraska's republi
can platform convention In a mild man
ner Indorsed Secretary Taft's candidacy for
the presidential nomination. ' Mr. .Holm-
quiet of Oakland, represented Burt county
and in voting for tha adoption of the reso.
lutlon Indorsing Mr. Taft we believe he
represented the feeling of Burt county re
publicans. ' 1
York Times: That declaration of the Ne
braska republican convention In favor of
Secretary Taft waa made on the supposi
tion that President Roosevelt will not
be a candidate again. Not a man voted
for the reeojutlon who would not prefer
to vote for President Roosevelt and those
who voted against It nearly all did so
with the mistaken Idea that possibly the
president might be induced to run again.
Wood River Sunbeam: In recognising
Taft as a leader In the progressive prin
ciples of the national party, Nebraska
takes t.ie lead In a movement that is be
ginning to sweep over the country. Taft
is looming tip In the horizon ss a strong
and able man to succeed President Roose
velt, and those well versed In national
affairs find " that he Is of presidential tim
ber. The Sunbeam believe that th plat
form formulated Tuesday la satisfactory
to the rank and file of the party.
Friend Telegraph: The republican plat
form formulated at Lincoln this week haa
the true republican ring. It indicates that
In the last year pledges pf the party have
meant something beyond a desire to get
Into office, and that every pledge made a
year ego has been faithfully carried out.
The platform endorsed Secretary Taft for
president and places Nebraska In line for
him. It also endorses the work of Presi
dent Roosevelt, and we might with pro
priety say. Intimates a desire thst his work
be carried on without giving trusts and cor
porstlons which are violating the law even
a breathing speit. neorasaa rapuuuvaiia
may be said to be In line for the ticket
and for Mr. Taft next year.
Fremont Tribune: It cannot be doubted
that th republicans of Nebraska In over
whelming majority favor the renomlna
tlon of President Roosevelt! but they have
co-r.e to i online that his refusal Is .nint
to stand- Nothing has confirmed their
belief In that more than the avowed can
didacy of Secretary Taft, The latter has
made announcement of his candidacy. That
he haa done ao with the approval If not
at th solicitation of the president can
not be doubted. Then t must follow that
Roosevelt will not under any circumstances
become a candidate. Accepting thla logical
view of It, but which Is done with reluc
tance, it Is apparent that Secretary Taft
has the call on Nebraska republican.
This comes not because he is Roosevelt's
favorite . but because of the things that
make him the Roosevelt favorite.
""Norfolk News: While some of the re
publican delegates deemed It unwise at
thla time to pledge the part as favorable
to the presidential candidacy of Secretary
Taft, It was apparent from the resolu
tion that the big war secretary had made
a favorable Impression In his Nebraska
tour last spring and it ' waa also evident
that the majority' of Nebraska republicans
would rather take President Roosevelt Im
pllclty at his word and allow hlrn to atand
squarely by his declaration for the "wise
custom which limits the president to
two terms," 'than to become factors In a
conspiracy to Induce the president to re
verse himself, and throw both his own aa
