plana have been abandoned l>efore the
question of labor entered Into the dis-
cussion at all. simply because of the
high prices- of materials.
Of course labor Is a factor in the
production of supplies and Its de
mantis figure in the excesses for high
prices, but It has merely Joined the
procession. Demands of labor far high
j cr pay in these trades came as a re
! suit of the high prices and of a Joint
i desire to share in the prosperity, rather
than as a cause.
Prospective builders have come to
feel that the supply dealers are tak-
ing too great an advantage of the pros-
! pertly cry and that a waiting policy is
advisable.
Besides, it Is possible that the busi-
ness prospect of the near future is not
such as to justify as heavy Investments
In building as there have lieen in the
! past few years. Capital Is Intimidated
I and is taking no chances.
Lalior is always a convenient scape
! goat. Almost any industrial enter-
| prise in which labor Is largely involved
might pay at any time and despite
any adverse conditions If only labor
would consent to sacrifice its share.
Bflt labor must live. The universal
Increase In goal of necessaries of life
compels b'ltor to demand more pay.
Demands for Increase In wages may lie
prompted less by greed than by neces-
sity, The greed lies elsewhere.
There Is no question that labor has
many times made demands that are
unjust. But it is not to be forgotten
I hai trusts have more often made un-
just extortions and that labor lias pa
tiently borne not only injustice but
calumny.

WILL BRING UP THE CANAL.
It is announced from Washington
that Senator Morgan will bring up In
the extra Mission the question of the
Isthmian canal, While the house of
representatives Is occupying its lime
with the Cuban treaty the senate will
have plenty of opportunity to intro-
duce new measures. The canal ques-
tion ts one t tint lias I icon cnthuslastl-
rally osismsed bv the southern sena-
tors because R Is supposed to open
an outlet lo the Orient for southern
products. China is a country in which
col iota cloths are popular, both from
the need of the natives to find nine
thing cheap, and also because . otton
is adapted to s uite of the Chlitose
climates. The south is eagei for op
portunltles to extend her iiiiuneu'ce
in all of the Orient, and hop, - when
the canal is opened to lie aide hi load
cotton goods hi tin Oulf polls for di-
rect shipment acres-- the I “hi i!h The
prospect of loading coal for the Orient
arid for the west roast of South
America b another hope of the Quit
states An mi lot for the pig iron of
that section Is still another incentive
to work for the canal Improved rivers
are putting tin interior of the south
in casj n-a ii of tidewater, and the
southern delegation very properly
wants to profit by the increasing (a
(duties for handling southern products
The sentiment of the country is fa
voluble to the canal as congress has
already authorized it and the men
from the smith may !«- relied upon to
sec that no defalcation on the part of
the Colombian government will inter
fi re with the work of the construction.
If Panama cannot be made avllnbk- the
southern delegation will Insist on Nica
rugtui, and that work shall he com-
menced at an early day They not only
iv.tot the canal, but they want it as
soon as it can be built.
ADMIRAL BOWLES RESIGNS.
Prominent Naval Officer Leaves Serv-
ice for Bualnesa.
Washington, Oct. 26.—Rear Admiral
Francis Bowie*, chief of the bureau of
construction and repair of the navy
department, today tendered his reslg-
nation as an officer In the United
.Slates navy to the president, and re-
quested it to take effect November 3.
Instructor I,. W. Capp*. now on duly
at the New York navy yard, ban been
selected by the president for the va-
cancy. Admiral Bowles is to leave the
navy to accept the presidency of a pri-
vate shlp-huildlng company In Massa-
chusetts. He railed on the president
today accompanied by Secretary
Moody and verbally tendered hi* resig-
nation This will Ire followed by a
formal tender, when the appointment:
of hi* successor will Ire officially an-
nounced.

LABOR AND BUILDING.
There is a tendency to put the blame
for the general building decline upon
la lor. The exactions of the unions are
liecomlng intolerable, it is said.
There may t«- some grain of truth in
It. No doubt the demands of the an-
ions have had material effect in mak-
ing building mure difficult.
But it is impossible to class this as
the sole cause or even as the chief one.
The fad that all building material*
arc con-trolled by trusts and that prices
have been arbitrarily raised ail along
the line calls for serious consideration.
The fact Is that the price* complain-
ed of have been exorbitant for several
years.
The big percentage of increase in
SENATORS AND POLITICIANS.
in "Frank Leslie'*" for November
then- is an article by "the editors" en
titled "The National Lobby at Wash-
ington " The great railroads, foreign
steamship lines the sugar triiHt, licet
sugar limber lands, breweries, oleo
margarine, etc., figure In the list of
lilngs that are said to be made objects
or special care by certain senators and
representatives. Some of these things
are great public Intereats, and some
are not; hut umlaiihledly all of them
have a certain place among the multi
tiidlnous tilings that necessarily enter
Into Die woik of congress. The pur-
pose of the article Is, however, to show
Unit certain congressional represents
lives have gone beyond this general
rare Into a special relation: and when
litis special relation la maintained with
(he sugar beet, for example, and makes
the prosperity or that agricultural
product superior in the national obllgti
11 oris between the United States ami
Cuba, and superior to the general in
teres is of the United States in Increitsljl
trade with Cuba, then this special re
lation. while lawful enough, Is decided
ly Injurious to the country, and ought
to be paid for very handsomely In ol-
der to make up. even in that miaern-
ahlc fashion for the loss of reputation
Incurred b,v those who go into it.
The portraits of ten United States j
senators are printed In "Frank I.es i
lie's" as those of men who In varying I
degrees have entered into these special I
relations Without undertaking to c- j
timate in any manner the accuracy of j
the imputation thus made, we can I
not refrain from expressing our sails j
faction that Senator Culberson of this i
state is not in the list. To lie in this;
Ur! is not an honor. Not to be In the j
list, and still in have attained'to the i
spes-iai authority possessed by our sen- !
ator In constructive legislation and j
In all the higher work of the United
States senate, Is a very special honor.
There is no money in this special fion-
or; for the most part there is no cer-
tainty that it will rotifer lasting-fame:
one successful land fight or sea tight
faeries with It much greater chance
Of durable recollection of the c >m-
ntander But the sort of legislative
distinction achieved by Senator Cub
berson does produce an Immense feel-
ing of pleasure among those who are
fortunate enough to have furnished
him for the use of the United States,
and very great confidence in the wis-
dom ami impartiality of his acts in the
natural and rightful special representa-1
the relation that he sustains toward
the people of hts own s,a:e. The com
petent laborer is worthy of his hire:
and sometimes a i(-cognition of the flue
quality of the work done constitute* a
large part of the pay.

Slot Machines Will Sell World's Fair
Admitaion Tickets.
•St Louis, Oct, 26.—Slot machines to
sell admlslon tickets to the worlds

dollar, for no other coin or substance
will cause the machine to disgorge the
coveted hit of pasteboard that will give
entry to the grounds. Money changers

and as many half dollars are wanted
may lie obtained
With his half dollar between his
fingers, the visitor may approach the
marhinA, that stands about five feet
(all. About four feet above the ground
is a slot and a legend calling attention
to it. The buyer drops In his coin,
gives a crank a turn and out comes a
properly stamped ami numbered ticket.
Should the mechanism of the slot
machine fall, or Hhould the supply of
tickets give out. the slot Is automati-

It Is down to the question: Which

We believe if it was put to a vote a
majority of the people would say;
Give us a paid fire department. It
would not cost as much and It would
lie more efficient.
