POTTER. TAFT IN PANAMA. About all we have heard from the canal zone lately, that is since Taft went down and dealt with "frogs in Panama trying to puff themselves into oxen," is in the nature of songs sung by shrill female voices in moving pic ture shows about Colon Town. In them we were assured that the moon was shining brightly in these tropical and topical song regions. A little more light was thrown on the situa tion In the London "Lancet" in a re cent article. Even the title was illuminating. We are aware that some of the foes of the administration have from time to time given us to understand that the enterprise was hopeless and criminal to build a canal through such a fevered cesspool of decaying vegetation and dismal germ laden swamp. But the title of the article is "America's Trl umph in Tanama." "It seems almost ridiculous to an ticipate that these effects could be sensibly modified, that life could be made endurable for the foreigner or that the native could be awakened from his traditional sloth and disre gard of the first elements of hygiene. "Yet in three short years all this has happened. Panama and Colon from hot beds of disease have been transformed into practically new cit ies, not only by the provision of com plete waterworks and sewerage systems, an efficient system of quarantine, the reconstruction and widening of many thoroughfares and the paving of every street with brick or stone, but also by the now willing co-operation of their people in the furthering of the designs of the masterful American. The arrangements for the housing and feeding of the armr of workers leave little to be desired and every possible

encouragement is given by the commission to the promotion of healthy social life." Let us see what these precautions have done for the Canal Zone. North and South of the Isthmus the bubonic plague is carrying off victim after victim. For the last few years there has not been a single case in the zone. Further more there has been no yellow fever in that portion of the country, for the last two years. Even malaria has been reduced 50 per cent this last year over the year before. Undoubtedly Col. Gorgas deserves the greatest credit for his splendid work. It is an excellent illustration of what can be accomplished by the

application of modern scientific principles in sanitation and hygiene. It is in Itself a monument more satisfactory than bronze to the two army sur geons who gave up their lives in Cuba In proving the accepted theory of ma laria and yellow fever infection. But behind it all. what could Col. Gorgas have done without a proper backing up and appreciation in Washington from Roosevelt and Taft? The same writer in the Lancet goes on to say "I regard it as a bare act of justice to record my conviction that without loyal support from headquar: ters much of the success would have been Impossible. President Roosevelt has at every stage of the enterprise reiterated the sentiments expressed in his letter to the Secretary of War on May 9, 1904 and Mr. Taft as admin istrative head of the canal, has never faltered In his allegiance to them. "As recently as Jan. 16, last, Mr. Taft attended a meeting of the senate committee on Interoceanic Canals, and In reply to some heckling on the subject of the cost of sanitation, de clared that the government had adopted and followed a fixed policy that of acting on the advice of the Isthmian medical staff. The government did not care', said he, 'to assume the responsibility of acting contrary to the advice of the doctors.' " Of course, any policy of curtailing the expenditures of the sanitary com mission would have been little short of murder and would have rendered la bor hard to get thereby doubling the cost of construction. Let those who think the government has spent too much money In this enterprise consider that a lessening in expense would have resulted in the death of many working men. Taft's record in the Panama affair greatly redounds to his credit. It was a small thing for him to do. but a man with less courage would have listened to the small fry and left the canal zone In a perilous position, all for the sake of appearing on record for lessening expenditures. MORE SILENCE. Mr. Kern may well keep silent. He told a reporter in Chicago the other day that he had nothing to say in regard to local option and the Sunday closing law. That is easy. All Indianians know without Mr. Kern saying anything what his position Is on these matters. Does the tool of the Crawford Fairbanks-Albert Lieber-brewlng-combine have to announce his opinion on that question? We think that the man who has been the foe of the high license bill and the friend of Tom Taggart might well keep quiet on that subject. THE NEGRO VOTE. Bryan has at last declared his stand on the Brownsville affair in a telegram to a Baltimore editor. He has refused to touch it. Those who regard Bryan as a sincere and truthful man will see in it his recognition of the fact that the affair was handled by the administration in a fair and just manner. Those on the other hand who regard Mr. Bryan as a shrewd and skillful politician will realize that he saw danger in opposing his southern constituency by affronting them on the negro subject. The better class of negroes has always suffered at the hands of the lawless and reckless element of their race. It will do the better class of colored men no good to support that element in its wrong doing. Nor need the colored men think a similar breach of discipline in any branch of the army would have fared differently at the hands of the square dealing Roosevelt. It is for them to condemn as they have repeatedly done the lawless acts of the excited and lawless portions of the white and negro races. It will not do for them to lose the esteem that they are so rapidly gaining under the leaUership of their greatest representativeBooker T. Washingtotn. Nor can the better class of negroes afford to listen to the cheap talk of the democratic politicians. When in the memory of man has the democratic party done anything for the negro or what does it even promise to do to day. Do the words of W. J. Bryan promise anything? The platform of the democratic party is singularly full of talk about the admission of Asiatics, but it never for one instant mentions the negro race. What encouragement Is that for the negro? On the other hand the republican platform not only mentions the negro by name but also demands equal justice for all men. of whatever race. It

condemns all devices that have for their aim the disfranchisement of the negro for reasons of color alone. In other words the negro received his freedom from the republican party. The republican party gave him hi3 vote. The democratic pcrty has in many Instances taken the vote away from the negro. And now the republican party demands that the right to vote be given back to the negro. There is no room in the democratic party for any negro, and no educated and thinking colored man will support the party which is endeavoring to take his vote away from him.

RURAL ROUTE MEN WAIT BIGGER PAY Certain Class Claim They Are Not Paid Enough. Indianapolis, Ind., July 18. At the first day's session of the executive board of the Rural Letter Carriers' Association of the United States, held at the Denison Hotel, steps were taken to press still further the bill providing for an increased remuneration for carriers who are compelled to carry locked pouches to postoffice substations. The bill was up at the last session of Congress, but was not passed, and an effort will be made to get it before the lawmakers at the next session. The committee also took up the question of having the Government furnish horses and rigs for use on the rural routes. "City carriers whose routes make necessary the use of a horse and wagon," said Ellas Frey of Pendleton, Ind., a member of the board, "receive extra pay for the maintenance of their horse, and we feel that the rural carriers should be classed the same." This bill was also lost at the last session of Congress. The board is made up of the following: Paul L. Lindsay, Tucker, Ga.; H. E. Cnim, Hillsdale, Mich.; P. E. Cull, Concord, Mass.; Elias Frey, Pendleton, Ind.; J. H. Johnson, Raymond, N. H.; A. E. McMahon, Savoy, Tex., and J. D. Williams, Renfrew, Pa. Thoughtful Drummer. Salesman: "Mr. Osborn, did it ever occur to you how seldom your clerks introduce goods of merit and profit to customers." "Yes, I am aware of it, Mr. Salesman, your remark is too true. I am constantly Instructing them on that particular point. Only this morning a lady came in to make her weekly purchases of groceries and among the articles she wanted was a cheap soap. I knew Easy Task was the highest grade goods of its kind on my shelf and sold her a quarter's worth. She will buy it again, everyone doea who uses it once." JAPANESE MIRRORS. Some That Arc Sappoard to Poaaeaa a Maarte Quality. Some Japanese mirrors are supposed to possess a magic quality, which has rendered them objects of superstitious reverence for centuries, and, in fact, it has even puzzled modern science not a little. When a strong beam of light is so reflected from one of them as to be thrown upon a screen, there appears upon the screen an image in delicate tracery perfectly reproducing the pattern engraved In relief on the back of the mirror, which, of course, is altogether hidden from the light Inasmuch as the face of the mirror presents a surface that is perfectly smooth, apparently the reason for this phenomenon is difficult to find. Its cause, however, Is simple enough. The prelimi nary operation of polishing the face consists in scoring the cast disk with a sharp tool In every direction. The thicker portions, where the ornamentation in relief is on the back. offer more resistance, and the result is a corresponding inequality of the polished surface. This Inequality Is not sufficiently marked to be visible to the naked eye, but it Is enough to turn the rays of light, and thus the pattern of the engraving on the back Is reproduc ed on the screen in the manner descrlb ed. These so called magic mirrors are so highly valued that they sell from ten to twenty times the price paid for ordinary ones. A Peculiarity of Ghoata. Scientific personages as well as the rest of us have always been puzzled by the degeneration of the dead both in taste and iu intellectual power. No matter bow fastidious a man may have been during his lifetime, he is no sooner dead than he develops a marked par tiality for bock rooms up two flights of greasy, rickety stairs In disreputable tenements. His favorite environment is now dirt and squalor, and his fa vorite companions are the Ignorant and the half witted. The nature of the next world, the aching secret which the human race through all ages has eaten its heart out to know, is ignored by these modern ghosts in favor of shoestrings which they happened to leave In the corner of an old desk and which they beseech as to go and find.

RACE LAST MIGHT Not Until That Time Did Col. Catrow Refuse to Run For Congress. HE IS GREATLY DEPRESSED SAYS THAT .HE HAS NOT THE HEART FOR ANYTHING, LET ALONE MAKING POLITICAL CAMPAIGN BIESER TALKS. Dayton, Ohio, July 18. Colonel H. G. Catrow, of the Third Regiment. O. N. G.. a prominent banker of Miamisburg, Ohio, formally withdrew last night as the republican candidate in the Third Ohio Congressional district The withdrawal was contained in a letter to the congressional committee and it is understood that a meeting will be held soon to select Catrow's successor. Charles W. Bieser, when questioned as to the time, stated that the meeting would be held next week. He declined to make public the possible ap pointee which this committee has au thorized to select, filling a vacancy, as empowered by the Eaton convention when Catrow as well as Congressman Harding were named, the latter losing before the election board and the Chicago convention. Catrow states that his retirement Is due to the unfortunate accident in which he ran down and killed Eugene Sullivan Wednesday evening. He said: "I am fully aware of the extraordin ary prejudice by the people against the driver of an automobile. That this prejudice is aggravated to an Intense degree when the driver of the car has had the unfortunate experience I have had, of accidentally striking and kill ing a fellow man, there Is no question of a doubt. That this situation should mitigate against not only my own success In the coming campaign, but that of the entire republican ticket if I remained on it, I have no doubt I there fore think, In fairness to all parties concerned, I should withdraw. "The experience which I have pass ed has left me in such condition that I have no heart for anything, least of all the exertion of a political campaign." LOOKS LIKE HARDING, Says Miles Lindley, Who Sees a Chance for Some Democrat. Hamilton, O., July 18. When Col. Miles D. Lindley heard last night of the withdrawal of H. G. Catrow from the candidacy for the Third district congressional race on the republican ticket he said: "Congressman Eugene Harding Is 1,000 votes stronger in Butler county than any other republican, barring Judge Brown, of Dayton or Judge E. Fisher of Eaton, Ohio. If either one of these three gentlemen is nominat ed its a cinch he will be elected, other wise its a democratic congressman from the old Third district that will get there." "TOO LTE" rTE73CCTm ATJ E." Pathotic Story of the Dramatist's I.aat Staare Appearance. There is a pathetic account of Moliere's last appearance which shows the eupreme courage which sickness could not dissipate and which was a part of him till death. Ills health had long been falling and he had suffered for years with a distressing cough, which rapidly became worse. On the day of the third presentation of "La Malade Imaginaire," 1073, he was so ill that his wife and friends entreated him not to perform. But he was deaf to their appeals. "What can I do?" he said."There are forty workmen who have only their dally pay to live upon, and they will lose that if I do not act. I should reproach myself if I neglected to give them their bread for a single day." Though more than usually indisposed, he went through his part with great difficulty. Once during the performance the company could not but see that he was convulsed, but he passed it off with a forced laugh. When it was over he left the stage, saying to his friends, "The cold is killing me." He was wrapped up warmly, and his chair man sent to convey him to bis home. No sooner was he In bed than he was seized with a violent fit of coughing, which brought on a hemorrhage, and he died before his wife could reach his side. Ills last words were to assure his friends that the hemorrhage wasnot alarming in any way and urging them to take courage. Spoiled His Trip. A man in central Kansas, according to the Kansas City Journal, had trouble with his wife and more trouble with his mother-in-law. The wife died. On the day of the funeral the undertaker started to put the man in the same hack with his mother-in-law. The man balked. "I won't ride with her," said he. "But you must" replied the undertaker. "The other hacks are all full." "Well, if I most I will," said the man, but It will take away all the pleasure of the trip." Descriptive. Grandfather, doing some carpenter work and finding he needed lome screws, sent little Mary to the bardware store to get some for him. When she got there she could not remember the word "screw." At last she said. "Grandpa wants some nails with ruffles on." IJfe. Wanted Retail Rates. A North Carolina negro called at a preacher's residence one night and asked, "'Bout bow much will you charge to marry me. suhT "Well." said the preacher. "I usually get S3." "Lor, boss,- exclaimed the negro, "I ain't gwin to marry but one wornanp
