The Panama Canal will be open early in 1914. This is an unofficial declaration from the highest official sotirce. There is ii possibility that it will be ] completed and ready for the pas-'r sage of ships slightly before that' t time. The same authorities, how- r ever, refuse to change the official j announcement that the work will j be completed in 1915. The later date is used because they do not wish to take any chances on making good and disap? pointing those who wish to cele? brate the event. Barring slides of unusual proportions, labor troubles resulting in strikes or other great unforseen obstacles, there is no rea? son to doubt that the waterway will be open at the earlier date. At the rate of progress in the past, ordinary delays, such as floods, excessive rains, or difficulty in getting materials, can be easily overcome, so that ships can pass through the canal in 1914. FOUR YEARS ENOUGH FOR PRESIDENT. One term in the Presidency is enough for the country, and the country generally recognizes this, but does not see just how to keep Presidencies down to that figure. The authors of the Constitution were very wise men. and they did'< not anticipate the relations be? tween Presidential patronage and a second term. One term is enough for the in? cumbent. The satisfaction of at? taining the most exalted position in the country is intelligible enough, but four years will give a man enough of the distinction, and more than enough of the cares, of office. Most Presidents have a sense of responsibility rather than a sense of power, and the sense of responsibility grows heavy. Mr.' Roosevelt never had a sense of re? sponsibility, but only a sense of power, and a keen delight in using power, but he is quite unlike any other man who ever filled the of? fice. Nine men out of ten would be glad to go out of office at the close of one term if it had not come to be a reflection upon the Presi? dent not to give him a re-nomina? tion. The precedent established by Washington has come to be re? garded as a rule, and the refusal of a third nomination is not deemed a reflection, but a refusal of a second nomination is so regarded. No man can exercise the Presi? dential powers for a first term with the possibility of the second with? out using them to secure a second term, partly for the sake of secur? ing the customary expression of ap? proval, but mainly because the men he has appointed to office want another term and do all in their power to make the President feel that he must have it and the party feel that it must give it to him. It doesn't matter whether Mr. Taft was in earnest or joking when he declared that one term was enough for him. Probably every president has felt so after one year in office, and after three years in office Mr. Taft will be as receptive of the renomination as any of his predecessors. The men whom he has appointed to office and who want to retain their jobs will see to that. Ex. -?-??-. FOR SALE.

MAY REACH $2,000,000 overnment Agents Disclose j Jewelry Frauds. 0 Preliminary hearings before a knited States commissioner for the d inc persons arrested as a result of n ie investigation by the Depart lent of Justice into the alleged :welry bankrupt frauds were set ?r April 29th. The frauds upon e arious merchants throughout the 'nited States .ire estimated at from 500,000 to $2,000,000. Govem tent agents say that the operators ot only violated the bankruptcy iws, but prosecution also might ' e under the conspiracy laws. The method of operation of the efendants are thus described by ie Department of Justice: "What purported to be a legiti late jewelry store was started and irge quantities of expensive jewel- c y were obtained from firms in dif- t srent parts of the country. Short ; afterward the jewelry was re- g loved from the store and a pre- s snse was made of shipping it to ime other point for the purpose of ^ aving a public sale. The sale was a uly advertised to take place at a j iven date. "In the meantime the building . i which the jewelry was pretended j have been shipped was destroy y by fire, together with the pack ges purporting to contain the jew Iry in question. The parties then ?ent into bankruptcy and succeed d in' relieving themselves of all heir financial obligations. At a Uer date the jewelry which was upposed to have been consumed i the fire, but which in the mean ime had been concealed, was ship? ed to another part of the state nd sold at greatly reduced prices iv parties connected with the con piracy. "It also appears that in canying mt these operations the parties in 'olved have been guilty of perjury, if the fraudulent use of the mails, ind possibly of violation of other ,'iws of the United States. Full vidence has been obtained by the iovernment cf these violations of aw." Officials of the department inti nate that the end is not yet in ight. There will be other arrests >efore the inquiry now under wa; s completed. Indictments of tlie >ersons arrested are probable under he bankruptcy or conspiracy laws, KMsibly in some instances for per ury. Business establishments in ilontgomery and Greenville, Ala., .re mentioned in the reports coni? ng to the department as places vhere jewelry stores were maintain sd, where supplies were accumulat ;d and afterward shifted to other >arts of the state. The prisoners seven of them irothers who conducted stores in Uabama?and two negroes aie :harged with conspiring to defraud inti with withholding assets from a rustee in bankruptcy. The pris >ners are Jesse H. Shreve and Dan el H. Shreve, who were arrested in ^an Antonio, Tex.; A. C. Shreve, irrested at Tuscaloosa, Ala.; R. T. mreve. Janies E. Shreve. Hilliard 5hreve, George H. Shreve and the wo negroes, all of whom were ar ?ested in Montgomery, Ala. POULTRY AILMENTS. "Only in rare instances does loultry require doctoring" says Kate V. Saint-Maur in Woman's [lome Companion for May," yet it s well to be prepared with suffi jient knowledge to recognize the iymptons of approaching trouble. \ few small, coops should be kept n some dry, sheltered outhouse, to )e used as quarantine quarters. Empty dry-goods boxes turned on [heir sides, with half the front boarded across and a door of wire tietting to close the other half, make good coops for individual pa? tients. They should be covered all around, sides and top and bottom with roofing paper, to insure free? dom from draft. The boxes may be any size, but I like them about eighteen inches wideband high, and about two and a half feet long. To I avoid dampness, and for conveni-j euee in attending to the birds; it J is well to elevate them on legs or; Bland them on a shelf or bench. Before using, or whenever they are vacated, they should be disinfected and the inside thoroughly painted v\ith white wash The enamelled cups without handles can be at? tached to thc side of the coop by wire loops. HORSE TALK bT um. Look out for the brood mare and e sure that she is receiving plenty f exercise. She should spend all pleasant lays in the paddock, and the lights in a well-bedded box-stall. Be sure that the floor is level, so he will not get cast. Avoid constipation by a liberal ceding of wheat bran with some iil-meal. Wheat bran arri oats make trong bones in the colt. When the colt is dropped it ihould receive nourishment from he tlam within the first half-hour. An attendant should be on ham! it the time of birth, for a little lelp has saved many a valuable ?olt. A lazy man should never breed ?ol ts, for he must be alert and cn he job if he wishes to succeed. Start the milk with the thumb md finger if the colt is not very trong or if the udder is at all hard. Take the chill off the water for he mare, and feed her carefully ?nd keep her quiet for a number of lays. During the first days of plowing he collar should be raised often to ool the shoulders. Bathing the shoulders with plen y of cold water after the dav's vork will help to harden them. Go slow the first days of plow ng; it will make a gain in the end. A soft, fat horse will shrink dur ng the first slays of hard work, so ook well to the fit of the collar. A collar ill-fitting and a little too arge may cause sweeny, and your /aluable horse may be ruined. Ahvays remove the harness at he noon hour and dry the collars. Clean the team after work and before bed-time. They will do a bigger day's work an the morrow with less loss of con? dition. Don't let the work team ri n down, because it is money lost tn Jo so. ? . ?? THE NEWSPAPER GUI. I find a man pushing his way through the lines Of the cops where the work of the fire fiend shines, "The chief?" I inquire, but a fire? man replies. "Oh, no! Why, that's one of those newspaper guys." I see a man walk through the door of a show, Where great throngs are blocked by the sign "S. R. 0.," "Ts this man the star that no ticl - et he buys?" "Star nothing! He's one of those newspaper guys." I see a man start on the trail of a crook, And he scorns the police, but he brings him to book. ''Sherlock Holmes?" I inquire. Some one scornfully replies: "Sherlock I.?? Naw, that's one of those newspaper guys." And some day I'll pass by the great gates of gold. And see a man pass through un? questioned and bold. "A saint?" I'll ask, and old Peter 'll reply: ?'No, he carries a pass, He's a newspaper guy.'' ?Louisville Herald.
