The Panama canal continues to give evidence that it is doing what it was built for. The good ship Windber has Just made her first voyage from the state of Washington to New York, via the ditch. She carried 5,000,000 cans of salmon for export to Europe. That cargo would have filled 200 freight cars. After paying (3,500 tolls for going through the ca nal, the owners found the trip had cost them just one-half of what It would have cost to ship the goods across the continent by railroad. ft::: . , It The Oasette-News is a mem- M ; t ber of The Associated Press. 5 t Its telegraph news is there- ' at fore complete and reliable. t Who said that European diplomacy had broken down?"

They go bo far in their hatred as to urge a British boycott, and even an interna tional boycott, aglUnst Germany When the war is over. The folly of such talk is shown by A. Lehmann, president of the Bremen chamber of commerce and a recog nized financial authority in Ger many. "England," he remarks, "can not ruin the' German export trade without at the same time leading her own colonies, the over-sea coun tries, and In . the last analysis her ' own nation, toward financial ruin. It is strange that the English, for so many centuries the great traders of the world, do not see this clearly The most elementary economics teaches that in a normal business transaction there Is no one-sided ad vantage both parties gain. If Eng land stops trading with Germany, England loses as much trade as Ger many does, and as much stimulus to her industries. The producing and consuming power of the German em pire Is so great, and will be so great even after a disastrous war, that it would be a calamity for any nation to be cut off from it. Take our own case, for example. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, we bought from Germany $189,000, 000 worth of goods, and sold her 1331,000,000 worth. If we were to sever trade relations we should not only lose that immense market for our own goods but we should deprive ourselves of vast quantities of goods needed by us as raw or partly fin ished material in our own Industries. Business Is international, and busi ness thrives by freedom of exchange. Every Industrial and commercial na tion is one of the business assets of every other such nation. Any talk of crushing Germany" industrially and commercially la sheer folly for any -of the allien. They would be scuttling their own trade. They need Germany in their business, as much as she needs them. F RIPPLING H RHYMES j A SPINNER OF YARNS. My heart is sore when Binks. the bore, sits down beside my table, and hems and haws, and wags his Jaws, and starts to tell a fable. His yarns are old and blue with mould old Father Noah sDan them, till Ham and Shem got tired of them, and told their dad to can them. Oid Binks comes in. with sicklv crln whon T have tasks unendine. and stiiels and yawps and never stops till night's snaaes are descending. No sort of hint will make him sprint, or quit his areary urooiing; and when I say, "Oh chee. en 'wav." h thinks Tm ftnlv fooling. The laws correct they don't protect tne busy, hust ne fellers who have to stand, all o'er the land. this plague of story tellers. If one Bhould balk, and kick and knock, In righteous ire and dudirenn. h'll ealn repute as surly brute, as cranky, sour curmuugeon, it is a crime to waste the time of busv friends anrt noteh bors, to seek the tents nf tnlHns- is-enf ana interrupt their labors. When you begin a yarn to spin, you'll see the folks enort and sniffle; the newest laie is old and stale, and all your yarns are piffle. - WALT MASON. Copyright, 1914, by The Adams News paper Service. Proposed Changes Are Being Worked Out and Bill Made Ready for Legislature. ABSCRDITY. It has been widely felt that the in- dictment of the directors of the New Haven railroad In November was a disagreeable duty which ought to be , got out of the way as quickly as pos , slble. It meant the final clearing up of the New Haven mess and the in ; auguratlon of a new era of open, square dealing on the part of public service corporations the country over. Much sympathy has been felt and ex pressed for some of the defendants. It has been felt that, while grave wrongs have been perpetrated against stockholders and public, and while the guilty men should be punished for their conduct, certain of the dl : rectora at least were either innocent ; at the charges against them or might properly plead mlgltatlng circum stance!. At any rate, every considera tion of Justice and publlo policy called for the fair, honest, open trial of the indicted mn at the earlleat ' possible moment t Instead of the defendants welcom ing such a trial some of there have resorted to a petty technical quibble for the aake of' delay. Instead of seeking to have their Innocence 'ea tabllshed and the case cleared up ao that the New Haven may be taken out of the limelight and restored to prosperity, they ask to have the In .mtment abated why? On the round that the grand Jury which In . . cd them waa Improperly drawn, names being placed In the box !

The committee of 15 which is considering the changes in the charter needed by the city of Durham, has called for the report on "new forms," which will be submitted by a committee headed bv Dr. W. H. Glasson. of th rt,.nri. mint of economics at Trinity college. The report will be made next Friday This marks another ad I'ftncA In th. work of the committee appointed as the result of the mass meeting. They have held a number nf miin ... which citizens were lnvitu.1 tn inib and give their Ideas of the changes that should be made In the charter. This talk by the citizens has resulted In the accumulation of a mass of Ideas and It seems that the biggest task of the committee will be to rec oncile these and get them Into work able shape for a bill that will be sub mitted to the legislature. The committee of 16 has also been collecting Information about the present financial condition of the city. It has been found that when the current administrative exnonac. f the city the money for the schools and the Interest on th hnni. k.. been taken out of the 1234,000 tax money, mere Is less than 130,000 left for any public Improvements. The majority of the nectea .with the city have shown their talks thnt the margin of thi worn has decreased from vonr t year because the city has grown fast er than the increase in the taxable values. It was shown thnt tha tnAA Ar.y.i of the city, aa compared with other cities In North Carolina, was very much lera than that nf anv nthoi iti the credit la better according to the hankers, and the tax rate la lower than any other town of Durham's size.

The following story is going" the rounds of tha newspapers and Is well worth passing on: A young man of a fine family and Bpiendid gifts was going down as fast as it was possible for a man to an. through strong drink. His friends had pleaded with him. but he had taken their warnings as an insult One of them, who was a court stenographer. was sitting in a restaurant one eve ning when the young man in mmatfnn came in with a companion and sat down with his back to him at the art. Joining table. He was Just drunk enough to be talkative about Ma nri. vate affairs, and on the impulse of the moment the stenographer miUnd mit his notebook and took a shorthand re port of every word he said. It waa tne usual maudlin follv of a vnnnr man with his brain muddled by drink and Included a number of highly can- aid details of his daily life things which, when he was sober, he would 88 soon have put his hand in the Ore as speak about to a casual acquaint ance. The next morning the ste nographer copied the whole thing neatly and sent it round to his office. In less than ten minutes he cum a teen, ing in with, "What is this, anyhow r "It's a stenographic rennrt nf vnu monologue at the restaurant last eve ning," his friend replied, and gave him a brief explanation. "Did I really talk like thatr ha asked faintly. 1 assure you It Is an absolutely ver batim report." was the rnnlv. He turned Dale and walked out. Ha never drank another drop. FIREPROOF ASHEVILLE, N.

The Cathollo Total Abstinence Union of America Has 100.000 mem bers, and upon that society the church through her last four popes has in voked the blessing of heaven to tha envy, we are told, of all other Catho llo organizations who have not been thus favored.

Burgen. a nraetltlnnai- tnr 85 years, 28 in Toledo, 0., says: My attention was first called to the Insidious effects of beer wh en I tiamn examining for life Insurance. I passed as unusuaiiy gooa risks five Germans, young business men. who uum in the best of health, and to have superb constitutions. In a lew years I Was mazed to see tha whole five drop off, one after another, with what ought to nave oeen mild and easily curable diseases. On comparing encea with those of other physicians I couna tney were all having similar luck with confirmed beer drinkers, and my practice since has heaped confir mation upon confirmation."
