Ragsdaie's ana ' Aiken's Stand On Canal ToUs Repeal Bul In reply to Senator Tillman's speech as printed lo The Intelligencer, Sena tor John L. McLaurhi bss given the following statement: 1 noticed in your paper of today my name figuring in Senator Tillman's apoech explaining hie chango of posi tion on the repeal of the canal tolls. He draws an analogy with my attitude on the Parla treaty. I would be very unhappy," says the senator, "if Mc laurin could Justly charge me with prescribing physic for him which I my eelf am unwilling to take. Should I t ill to stand by the porty platform and v.pto for the repeal, ho could justly say that I am inconsistent." The tena tor thon proceeds tb tell why he ls go ing to do just tbat thing, it is this inconsistency which constitutes hts most valid claim to greatness.' No truly great man ever bothers his head about being consistent. What's the uso? The senator la. not much more of a success as a coat tall swinger than .I bm. I did not know, however, that it was as popular io Washington as In South Carolina. Ho seems to find it as difficult to ex ,.pla|n about Wilson's coat talla as I do about Blease's and his reasons are lust about aa disingenuous aa mine were wheb I passed ;hst "precious emblem of peace and fraternity" to another. After clearly demonstrating that Pres ident Wilson Is wrong, he justifies his own change of vote by showing what a \ fool the late lamented etate convention \ mo .ie of Itself. The convention lack . ed the leadership of our senators and J ct ugressmen, most of whom were elec ted delegates but found urgent busi ness elsewhere. Calls Carolinian* ioollsh. While heartily concurring in this /proposition about the folly ot the con tention, it does seem to me that tho ' real question is whether the reaeal ot the toils la right or wrong, nojgwheth' er the platform or Wilson SK to be oboyed. It ts a great question- of na tional policy which should outweigh" either President or platform. Per sonally, 2 admire the stand of Raga .. dale and Wyatt Aiken, not only be cause lt takes moral courage to op vposfa the hand that apportions the pub lia plo, but because on the m?rito it to the country'a best interest. The people of th? United States have paid "for the canal and should get some re turn for. their money. Foreigners should not have the aame rights and privileges as our own people, unless they had contributed towards tim con struction of the canal. The statement that the tolls would : be a siibp id y to a "shipping trust" Is not within a mlle of the actual facto. , Ws^bave flo Amor Icon merchant ahlps to Use, it'because the subsidised vea sel ? of foreign oatlonB bave driven our ?tag from the high seas. Wo bave re tamed a boast shipping because ot pori ' diacrimlnatlons tn its favor. Sollow , ."..",, ,1.,... ~ the present policy and oar co?At trade will soon be in foreign hands. The United States is an export nation anil to be entirely dependent on our com mercial rivals to carry our products abroad ls unwiao. I do not caro what President Wilson or anybody else suya to the contrary. Cheering Newa. Tho facts are that the repeal of the tolla will continue the most heartless aubaldy to Lord Cowdray's railroad that exista on thia earth, lt 1B a com plete surrender of American interests to Great Britain. We build the canal at enormoua coat in life and money and present it to the EngltBh cup Ital 1st now exploiting Mexico and other coun tries. Lord Cowdroy ls the Rockefel ler of England, In fact, ho is a com bination of Rockefeller and Morgan, because of his political and financial power, aside from being an oil king, he owns tho Tampico and Tehuantepe? oil fl el ils. He har the unqualified backing of the Brltl8h government In all of his undertakings, and if any ono will tako the trouble to read the tes timony tnken by tho Davidson commit tee and other public documents easily accessible they can not but conclude that much of the trouble In Mexico comes from the fight between British and American oil Interest. This may explain why England recognized Huerta when the United States refused to do so. I know that tbe biggest obstacle in getting the candi bill passed was the opposition of the transcontinental railroads, notably the Canadian Pacific. Now that we have the canal the same Interests I have no doubt, seek to control it. Lord Cowdray's road is in-south Mexico and connects Puerto on the Atlantic with Salina Crua on the Pacific, a distance of 190 miles. |t cost l?&.ooo.ooo. and was paid for by the "Mexican govern ment. The honda got into Lord Cow. dray's hauds and through some kind bf a deal with Diaz, he baa absolute con trol of the road, which ls said to be the moat profitable line of railroad In the world. The recordr.show that lt la' the personal property of this British money master. Freights - from, say, New York to the Pacific go to Puerto, there the ahlp ia unloaded and Ita freight passes over Lord Cowdray's road to Salina Cruz, there it ia reship ped to Ita destination. ; V The Freight ?i=ss?ik;s. i . ar The record ?how? that 'freights for" " the Hawaiian islands average $2 per ton from New York and^that one-third of this amount goes to "thi3 190 mlle railroad. The president of the Ha waiian steamship company gave thia teatlmony before a congresrlonal com mittee. . The opening of the canal with free tolls to American . ships would undoubtedly wipe out Lord Cowdray's railroad, bat lt would also lower sugar $4 per.ton to the Ameri can people. Alfred Henry Lewis puts It In a nutshell, when he says, "The fight i t between $05.000.000 of Lord Cowdray's. English Tehuantepec rail road money and $400,000,000 canal i money. That ls tho precise Issue pre rented by a contest over freeing the i canal to American coastwise ships." If lt Is-aot a EUhaldy to charge American Bhipe*$4 pdfrton so that this English rair/rad ?tay1 retain Us freight rate, . w^vls^tflW The American people must pay iose?..-.to nm I nta In tho canal and In high freight continue the tribute' to England's financial king. . 1 do not want Senator Ullman to bo unhappy because I am sure be wants tO'ido -right. I thin? tbai President Wilson told him the truth when he aaid that ho (lid not undprstand that plank In tho platform and haa probably nev er had time to study lt yet. ' In conclusion I do not think that either Senator-Tillman or myself can last very long as coat tall swingers; after wo got hold the impulse to take the entire coat or die trying Is irres istible.

Charlotte divla on of the Southern Railway, running letween Atlanta and Greenville on trains 38 and 29, besides being a ca-, sable and trusted englneman, has es tabllshed quite a reputation as a reli gious worker and speaker and is in much demand, especially for revivals at churches largely attended by rail road men. Mr. Kant's religious work ia not confined to this country alone, us out of bis own earnings he supporta a missionary In China. Mr. Fant has been In the service of the Southern Railway since 1887, when he began firing on the Fort Val ley Une of tho Columbus division, then known as the Atlanta and Florida railroad/ in 1891 ho waa promoted to engineer and to passenger engineer in 1902, his first run being on train 97, the fast mail. As an engineer he has a splendid record and as a religious speaker he has ? great power. He speaks In ' a rimpie, direct, and earnest manner. One ot his favorite addresses bas for Ur. subjects: "On the Limited' to the Grand Terminai." Mr. Fant ia convinced that lils reli gious experience has had much to do with bia success. . - "In 1897 a new era began in my Ufo," he says, "for it waa at thia time that I believed In the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and what little success I have made as a railroad engineer'abd as a man ls due to the tact of -having God In roy life. - "One ot the greateet assets that any individual can have in bia life la con tentment.
