Thk Columbians placed them-
selves in an absurd attitude by
their refusal to accept the proposi-
tion of the United States to pay; ^
them $10,000,000 tor the privileges | p
desired in the constructing of the erful influeoces
canal across Panama. Our propo-
sition was spurned with scorn.
They thought they had a cinch and
could pull our extremity for more
coin. But Panama with her 31,000
miles of territory and 300,000 in-
habitants, abused and imposed upon
for years by the government at Bo-
gota, on November 3, declared her-
self independent and started a lit-
tle government of her own. It is
said that not a man, woman or
child within the confines of the new
nation was opposed to the move.
At once realizing the justice of the
move the United States promptly
recognized the new republic and
then closed a deal with the govern-
ment of Panama for the construc-
tion of the canal. Panama gets
$10,000,000 to go to housekeeping
with, besides the good will of our
government. Then Columbia, see-
ing what she had lost, came off the
perch and told Uncle Sam that she
did not want any of our old money
anyway, but to just go ahead and
build the canal on our own terms
and she would never ask to see the
color of our coin. But she came
to that conclusion too late.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE PEOPLE
In 1900 President McKinley was
re-elected by 292 votes against 155
cast for the democratic candidate.
Outside of the southern states, Mr.
Bryan received the electorial votes
only of the western states of Colo-
rado, Montana, Idaho and Nevada.
In lining up for the campaign of
1904 the democrats thus appear to
start with a handicap of 137 elec-
torial votes, 68 of which they
would have to reverse to secure a
majority. But this disadvantage is
considerably increased when the
new votes based upon the appor-
tionment of 1900 are considered.
By the new apportionment 29 votes
are added to the electorial college,
of which the 17 Bryan states will
have 10, and the 28 McKinley
states will have 19. If the states
should vote republican or demo-
cratic as they did in 1900 the elec-
torial vote would stand 311 to 165. |
But it is practically certain that
there will be some change. The re-
publicans may reasonably expect to
carry Colorado and Idaho and pos-
sibly Nevada and Montana, and
they have a chance of success in
Kentucky
against the president, and their «.-j*£££,«££ hofe"

Fortunately there are two most 1 in defending what they considered
• ■ ' their own. burned buildings, de-
stroyed mining machinery and cre-
ated considerable excitement.
The ultimate question involved
is whether or not there is mineral
wealth in the district sufficient to
even partially justify these conten-
tions. Local opinion rejected Mr.
Taft s verdict on the ground that
his examination of the field was too
cursory to be entirely satisfactory.
Mr. Bain was accordingly sent to
pursue the investigation to an ab-
solute definite conclusion. He
spent some time in the district, ex-
amining particular mines in devel-
opment as well as unstaked grounds
and taking samples of everything
the miners said was ore. He
shipped over 300 pounds of rock to
Washington, where the survey as-
sayers are now determining what
value it contains, if any.
Samples from this field have been
assayed before, both in Lawton,
O. T., the principal town in the
district, and in Denver. Miners
claim that a carload of ore was re-
cently shipped from the mountains
to Denver and that payment was
made on them at a good round rate
per ton. The incident involved
the possibility of fraud, however,
in sampling, assaying and settle-
ment, so that the returns can not
be taken as a safe indication of
what the field may bring forth.
Mr. Bain exercised the greatest
care in producing his samples and
the government chemists will test
them with all the nicety with which
they are capable.
powerful forces that will work in
favor of the president.
He will have the back'tig of the
great conservative middle class of
our population, the business men,
the farmers, the professional men,
the intelligent working men, the
small property owners and others
that make up the great bulk of our
nation. These voters have not for-
forgotten their experience with the
soup-house party ot 1892, and they
will be frequently reminded of it.
They know that the republican par-
ty is the party of prosperity and
the democratic party is the party
of hard times, and even if a serious
panic should be precipitated upon
the country, or the upheavals in
labor circles should be continued
up to election time, they would not
again jump from bad to worse as
they did once before upon demo-
cratic invitation.
And besides that President
Roosevelt has the confidence of the
American people. They believe
that he is honest, competent, pa-
triotic. He is not the tool of any
ring. He is not playing to the
galleries. He is trying to do his
duty and is succeeding in a most
noteworthy manner.
He will appeal for his endorse-
ment to the American people and
he will receive it.—Guthrie Capi-
tal.

A little over ode year ago the far
mci*. <>r a few of tbeni at lea»i,
some of whum aic personal friend*
of our*, of Ram* county. Texa»
met at Kmory. the county scut, and
organized thcm*elve» into a far-
mer* union, kuowii as the Farmer*
Co-operative Union of America
There weie but few in theorgar-
i/atiou at the *tart and it seemed a
stuall showing to begin with, to or-
ganize the milliou* of farmers of
America, but now after ou'.y a few
mouth*, the organization i« already
assuming ureal proportion* and
promise* to t>ecoiuc a great factor,
at least for a time. All great
thing*, as well as Mtiall ones, have
smad beginnings. It may lie that
, this organization i* the beginning
of a great corjwration order that
' will ultimately create an under-
standing among the fanners. One
of it* principal objects is to educate
them in co-operative matters, not
to buy, but co-operation iu selling.
That was the mistake of the Grange
and the Farmers' Alliance. By or-
ganizing to buy they antagamzed
the very class with whom they
should have co-oj>erated. Co-ope-
ration by the farmers is very essen-
tial in many matters, but not in the
matter of buying. We cannot af-
ford to destroy the business of non-
producing consumer*. This would
of course destroy the market for
the farmer. There must be a con-
sideration for the rights of others
and other's vocation. No man can
successfully carry 011 the industries
of two vocations without conflict,
and yet those of the same may co-
operate with marked advantage.
Every farmer can realize benefits
from the sale of his labor by co-op-
eration if he will submit to the
methods necassary to a final suc-
cess, but he must allow others to
operate in the same manner and
steer clear of antagonism by at-
tempting to buy by the same meth-
od. If one attempts to control the
commerce of the country each way-
he will find it a big undertaking,
but he may in a measure greatly
affect it by a co-operation method.

RECTOR OF ST. LUKE S,
Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifies to the
Good Qualities of Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy.
Ashburnham,Ont., April 18,1903.
—I think it is only right that I
should tell you what a wonderful
effect Chamberlain's Cough Reme-
dy has produced. The day before
Easter I was so distressed with a
cold and cough that I did not think
to be able to take any duties the
next day, as my voice was almost
choked by the cough. The same
day I received an order from you
for a bottle of your Cough Remedy.
I at once procured a sample bottle,
j and took about three doses of the
' medicine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely dis-
appeared and I was able to preach
three times on Easter Day. I know
that this rapid and effective cure
was due to your Cough Remedy. I
make this testimonial without so-
licitation, being thankful to have
found such a God-sent remedy.
