Washington, 8#pt. 12.—The Panama
Canal “con the American government
1*4,449,000 up to December 31, 19oi
according to n statement of the audited
expendlturca made as of that date and
ju8t^published. The bulk_of_thl»Tex
pendlture was the $50,000,000 to the
French company and the Panama gov
ernment for canal property, right of
way and franchise and $3,449,022 went
for material and supplies.
For general administration mere was
expended $1,124,226; government and
sanitation, $4,381,089, and construction
and engineering. $9,729,554. Other ex
pense* Include $12,131,852 under the
head of plant, which include*, rolling
stock, machinery, second main track
on Isthmus, buildings and sone water
works.
Actual masonry work. It Is believed,
can be commenced at the Qatun locks
of the IsthnilAn canal within eighteen
months, according to a statement made
In the canal record, copies of which
have been received. Kntlroad trestles
are being erected across the line that
will mark the Inside and outside boun
daries of the big dam at Oatun, and
front one of these dirt trains are dump
ing dirt upon the site of the dam.
Preparatory to the Installation of the
pipe-line dredges by which more rapid
work on the dam would be pos*lble. the
rhagres river has been diverted from
Its main channel and dammed. The
survey of all the country to be con
verted Into the great tiatun lake has
been completed, and the finished re
port* show that the area will be 171
square miles.
Exclusive of the contract laborers
brought to the Isthmus of Panama at
the expense of the canal commission
during the fiscal year ended June 30
last, the number of Immigrant* arriv
ing Ht Colon, to which port come prac
tically all the laborers for the canal,
was in excess of 7,134. At the Pacific
terminal the number of passengers who
left there during the fiscal year was
1,313 less than the number who entered.
From the total force of canal em
ployees «*n the roll In July, 1906, the
death rate was 64 per 1,000. against 35
per 1,000 In July, 1907.

nounce nobody, but we do lake hold
and do all we can to defeat men not In
sympathy with our work. We huve
nothing to do with him as n league
on nnv other question.
This Is not partisan politics, but It ts
good citizenship. It Is helping to put
men In office that will take care of the
Interests of our ■ wlvet, nnd children.
The Antl-Snloon League Is'a practical
business organization doing business
for God nnd humanity on business
principles.
The league seeks the aid and co
operation of nil good people and confi
dently expects to build up a great
movement In Georgia. We urge you to
keep In close touch with us all the
while, advising with us on all Impor
tant matters with which you have to
deal, so that we may be able to work
together Intelligently.
The churches, very many of them,
possibly all of them, and the Woman's
Christian ' Temperance Union are be
hind us In this work and will help us at
all times.
Our prohibition measure Is not n
perfect one. as no human work la per
fect. and It will not be perfectly en
forced, but we have no doubt about the
good people of Georgia, as they rally to
the support of the law authorities. We
believe In you. brethren, and will ex
pect great results from your work and
your oo-operatton.
The London Tax.
Much is being said Just now about
the "locker tax act." Let us remind
you that‘the new law absolutely pro
hibits the manufacture nnd sqle of In
toxicating liqunra within the state. It
prohibits keeping liquors In public
places. It does not prohibit shipment*
from other state* to Individuals for In
dividual use, nor does It prohibit one
from keeping liquor* In places not con
sidered public places.
These are conditions with which you
will have to deal, but they are so In
finitely much better than former eondl.
tlons that we wonder why any one
could be at all peealmlatlc about the
matter. •
The people have not considered, pos
sibly. that we are not dealing primarily
with the drtnk queation tn this move
ment. It Is the licensed llqudr question
that wc have been dealing with. We
are trying to get the saloon business
out of the way. so as to make It easier
for the church, the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union, the Good Templar*
and others to deal more successfully
with the drink problem.
You understand the tax act simply
taxes clubs. This tag. supplemented as
It will be.by many councils (except
where councils refuse to let them exist
nt all), with possibly a much higher
tax. will make a very much smaller
by any subterfuge let an Iml
prosecution be had.
The law Is on trial. It Is our duty tn
see that Its enemies nre not entrusted
with Its enforcement nor permitted to
violate or degrade It. Remember that
the law Is now on our side. Whisky
la on outlaw. No license protects It.
Wherever It peeps out. In either rebel
lious town or skulking forest, strike
It—strike It for the sake of law! Strike
for the sake of home! Strike It for the
sake of the drunkard’s wife; for the
sake of his child: for Ills own sake!
Strike, for If let alone, tomorrow It wlil
strike you and yours!
Again, Georgia has led in this move,
nient. If we permit the liquor men nnd
their friends to break down the law
and the sentiment behind It the cause
of morals and sobriety wilt be hard hit
In the South, yea. In the entire union.
"Eternal vigilance Is the price of lib
erty" not only from tyrants on the
throne but also from the tyrant behind
the demijohn.
