A Titanic Achievement.
Although the construction of the
Panama canal, which is to connect
the two great oceans, is fast ap
proaching completion, few people
have as yet adequate conception of
its magnitude.
The discovery of America could
not have taken place much earlier
than it did for lack of the magnetic
compass, nor could it have been
long delayed after possession of that
instrument keyed up the ..daring
mariners of that day to sail beyond
the Bight of -land. That the-long-
cherished idea ofjhe Panama canal
could not have been sooner put Into
practical execution nor by any na
tion less resouceful .than the United
States, is what impressed Ambassa
dor. James Bryce most when he vis
ited the spot, and his thought is
most suggestive as embodied In his
new book of South American obser
vations, in which he'says:
i In no previous age could an enterprise
so vast as this nave been . carried
through; that is to say. It would have re
quired a time so long and -an expenditure
so prodigious that no rational government
would have attempted It. Pharaoh Necho
may have, a Herodotus relutes,' dug it
canal across the Isthmus of Sues by the
labor of hundreds of thousands of his
subjects accustomed to Implicit obedience.
but his ditch was probably a small and
shallow one. and it was through a dead ;
level of sand and clay that it was dug. j
Here there was a mountain to paerce ana
a torrent to bridle, and the, locks had to
provide for vesseta thousand feet long.
Nothing but the new fmres which scien
tific discovery has placed in the bands ot
the modern . engineer steam, electricity,
explosives of high power, machinery ca
pable of raising and setting In their place
one above another huge masses of ce-.
ment would have made the work pokbI-
ble. Yet even that was not enough. The
French company possesrd such ap
pllances, and though their eftl mates of
cost turned out to be based op totally
Inadequate data, the competence and en
ergy of their engineers have never been
questioned. And the French company
failed hopelessly. Yet even if, all the
French capital had been properly, spent
and better sanitary measures had reduced
the pestilential conditions, It may be
doubted whether the French company
could have mads a success of the under
taking.' Whoever looks at this prodigious
work feels that It could be carried through
only by a nation commanding resources
so overflowing that It does not need to
care how much it spends, a nation which
can borrow as much money as" H pi Bases
without sensibly affecting the quotations
of Ha existing national debt. '
The Panama canal was plainly
destined to be an achievement of
modern Titans. , It marks the great
est transfiguration of the surface
of the globe wrought by human
hands. But, as Mr. Bryce says,
human hands would have been pow
erless had not the age of steam,
electricity, compressed' air, high ex
plosives, andv mammoth machinery
made a few thousand twentieth cen
tury workmen, properly , equipped
and Intelligently directed, 1n,ore po
tent than combined' armies of toll
Ihg slaves' that' built air the temples
and tombs and monuments of the
ancients. " ( ...
The Champion Chautalker.
The Chautauqua as "The Great
American Forum," Is the subject pf
an article In the current World's
WorkVlri which the writer confers
upon Mr. Bryan the distinction of
being the only one of the top-liners
"who can' draw his fee (its value in
attendance)" ' on "a ' chafitaUqua or
lyceum course." And his fee Is
said to be $50,000' a year.
Thus 'Nebraska may;; boast' ot , hav
ing the champion chautalker of the
country. Such leaser lights, this
writer tells ub, as former Senator
Frank J. Cannon, former Governors
Folk, Hoch and Hanly, Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley, and even the irrepressi
ble Francis Hehey, - make only
$10,000 a year, one-fifth of what
Mr. Bryan gathers in. .
But Mr. Bryan's friends have al
ways Insisted that be was "not out
for the money, which opens up a
still more Interesting aspect of the
case. Admitting that $50,000 a
year Is a comfortable Income for a
man who cares little for the money,
the fact that Mr. Bryan has
preached bis political hobbles from
these platforms makes his emolu
ments all the greater. Ordinarily
the propagandist has to pay for get
ting his nostrums advertised, but
Mr. Bryan has turned the tables and
amassed a fortune by advertising
his, free of cost to himself.. But, of
course, others beside Mr. Bryan have
done much the same thing.
fashion that tendB to belittle the
serious purpose of matrimony is a
menace to our social life. Perhaps
we are drifting too much toward the
Epicurean, perhaps we are the vic
tims of an easy indulgence that
sweetens our lips only to leave a
bitter taste. The high cost of living
argument loses its force so long as
wild extravagances are so freely in
dulged. If religion is the remedy,
strength to its teachers.
t
The Heat of the Campaign.
In theory there is no reason what
ever why a political conteBt shouM
not be waged on, as. high a plane as
other competitions of life. We see
a base ball championship won, or a
foot ball trophy awarded, by keenly
pitting one club or team against an
other, with points scored according
to accepted rules designed to prevent
resort to dishonorable tactics. Even!
the bare-knuckle fight to a finish
between burly bruisers is kept within
limits by eagle-eyed umpires and
referees ready to disqualify the man
who strikes foul.
In a political combat, however,
the heat of the campaign is too often
taken to excuse and Justify reckless
disregard of all the rules ot con
duct observed in every other rela
tion. In the heat of a campaign it
is assumed to be perfectly fair to
call every antagonist a liar, a thief
or a crook, and to accuse every one
who supports an opponent with
abetting political burglary, and de
serving to wear prison stripes. Ir
respective of who lights the match,
the heat of the blaze invites repris
als and retaliation In kind, with the
result that political campaigns In
this country'engender personal bit
terness and animosities rarely
equaled anywhere else in the world.
What we need evidently Is a re
form that will reduce the tempera
ture of our political contests. In
base ball, and in foot ball, a
mediating board, representing the
various associations, gets together
In advance of the season and fixes
the rules. A similar rules commit
tee with full power to act for all the
different political parties might be
a feasible way out.
these figures would be enough to il
lustrate the importance of tha point
made. Here is a factor in our high
cost of living problem unrelated to
politics and -ell within our power
to readjust.
Boyal Doctor on Our Race Suicide.
The physician to the royal family
of Spain, now visiting In the United
States, Is struck by the prevalence
of our race suicide, which he at
tributes to an apparent ' lack of
religious feeling. He believes many
American women regard motherhood
as a responsibility to be shunned,
preferring freedom, to go about and
mingle In society or club life instead
of being "held down" by home cares.
He Bays that this ,1s true also of
Parisian women, but not so of those
in Spain, where the average family
numbers seven or eight children and
where women "regard children as a
joy and motherhood as a happy God
.given duty."- "' ,
The majority of American women
need no defense of their sense of
these solemn responsibilities. " But
every thoughtful ' person knows that
this criticism is not wholly false or
unfair. ; ; Many homes 'themselves
furnish the melancholy, but Irrefuta
ble proof, and divorce courts too
often reflect It. Every foible or
Greek Patriotism.
Patriotism has been a passion in
Greece since It was burned Into the
bosoms of the boys of Athens and
Sparta by those .fires of competitive
zeal. How well these boys learned
their lessons may now be reflected
til the fervor that drives armies from
the profitable pursuits of peace in
America to war in their native land.
Some ot these : young . men have
been In the United States for several
years, become well settled in their
work and 1n cases have accumulated
property,1 but hot yet have we heard
of any hesitating to respond to his
country's call it it was decided his
services were needed.' He pledged
himself on . leaving Greece to return
It called, a ' pledge that' might be
forgotien in the engrossing affairs
Of business. But Greeks do not for
get such pledges, nor falter in their
fulfillment. The spontaneity of
their response Is strikingly impres
sive.
The lesson must not .be lost on
Americans, not that we especially
need It to Inspire the passion of
patriotism within us, but rather be
cause of its revelation of so admir
able a characteristic In this foreign
born people. It shows the Greek to
be true', not alone to his country,
but to his word. A fidelity that
fears not even potential death, It
self, roust have the force of charac
ter back of It. So In . the gleam of
such crises we catch the glint of true
manliness in our ' friends from
abroad, who have come from many
countries to cast their lot among us
and be Americans. It should help
us to see the possibilities of
strength In them and the opportunl
ties they bring us. '
Street Car manners.
It would be difficult to fit drawing
room amenities upon street car
crowds, though one might wish some
code of ethics possible of enforce
ment upon 'the latter. It is one ot
the anomalies of city life that men,
and sometimes even women, will per
form manners in a street car they
would, never countenance elsewhere.
All ot .which conspires to the annoy
ance and discomfort of riding in a
car "which otherwise might be made
very enjoyable. The pay-as-ypu-enter
trolley is admirably adapted to the
absorption of much that is undesira
ble and needless, yet fails often be
cause people persist in making a
nuisance of what was intended as a
comfort and convenience. i
If f he average "person did not lose
his thought for the other fellow the
moment he put his .foot on .the car
Btep it would not be so. All the lit
tle placard sermons tacked up In the
car, supplemented by the conduct6r's
plaintive, "Move up. Jiy front, please,"
fall flat on 4he person stationed in
the rear end or' perhaps halfway up
the aisle, possibly reading a paper,
while a score of others scramble for
a spot big enough to stand on in the
consequent congestion at the rear of
the car. There Is positively no excuse
for this, though one might suppose
from its conventionality that there
were. (

Transportation and .Living Cost.
Experts have agreed that it costs
about 25 cents a ton to transport
food products over a mile of earthen
roads by animal powerwhlle the per
ton mile cost of steam railway trans
portation is but T.8 mills. Allowing
for possible discrepancy in these rel
ative figures, it, will not be denied
that the cost of many articles ot ne
cessity .could be materially reduced by
cheaper facilities for delivery which
often costs much more than 25 cents
per ton mile. Here, of course, Is oue
vital demand for good roads and ef
ficient motor vehicles. u a recent ad
dress the president of the Philadel
phia Chamber of Commerce said on
this subject:
I am acquainted with retail firms
whose cost of delivering goods at re
tall is not less than 60 cents per ton mile,
and, In vlew 'of the several loadings and
unloading! in comparatively short dis
tances. It may be safe to assume that
the cost of this service when applied
to the exacting demands of modern com
merce will vary from 2S cents to SO
cents or even more per ton mile. The
more Important bearing which the high
cost of this form of transportation has
upon our subject lies In the fact that
if the respective hauling I have named
should aggregate ten or fifteen railed
the aggregate cost of these distances at
25 cents per ton mile would be equivalent
to the cost of railroad transportation,
based upon ' average railroad earnings,
of from SOO to 600 miles; and if Us cost
averaged 60 cents per ton mile It would
be equivalent to the average eost ot 600
to l.nOO miles of railroad transportation or
to double or treble that distance by
water transportation. " ' ,
Merely approximate accuracy of
The New Military Hardship.
In the language of the immortal
Mikado, "Here's a how-de-do" with
brass buttons on It.
According to the report made to
the secretary of war by Judge Advo
cate General Crowder, the new army
bill, which contains a provision re
quiring the return to their commands
by December 15 next of 11 officers'
below the rank of major on detached
service and making such officers In
eligible, for detached service unless
they have been continuously With the
commands frr the preceding . two
years, "is airtight ' and bombproof
and will have to be literally ''obeyed.
It goes without saying that this
ultimatum is creating all kinds ot
comment and palpitation under the
dress uniforms of officers enjoying
soft berths as staff aides, military
attaches abroad r militia and school
instructors and other comparatively
comfortable posts. The real task, it
turns out, is not -to find detached
service men who have to go back to
the line, but to. find enough active
service men possessing the required
qualifications to be detached to fill
their places; But, 'of course, over
coming that difficulty is only a mat
ter of time. '
The real hardship of the new or
der of things will be Inflicted upon
the officers with Independent in
comes, which they cannot well spend
fast enough In Isolated frontier forts,
upon the officers with socially ambi
tious wives and daughters who feel
cramped when circumscribed by
purely military circles, and upon the
officers who suddenly find them
selves physically unfit when notified
that their place is close - to bar
racks. Of course, there are. not bo
many of these,' but there are quite
sufficient.
Watch for a bunch of army resig
nations on or about December 15.
A Definition of Education. .
Dr.' Lyman 'Abbott adopts .Huxley's
pungent; definition .of;, education as
the best remedy to apply to. our cur
rent moral and civic ills. Ib is this:
Education la the Instruction of the in
tellect In the laws of nature, under
which name I include not merely things
and their forces, ' but - men and their
ways; and the. fashioning of the affec
tions- nd the win into an earnest and
loving desire to, live In harmony with
those laws. ;. '
Admitting that .in our system of
public education we are teaching
very well the laws of matter and
force natural science -Dr. : Abbott
declares that we are not training the
Btudents into a loving and earnest
desire to live In obedience to law.
And what, he asks, is the conse
quence? Four of the Ten Command
ments, those against theft, lasclyious
nesB, murder and bearing false wit
ness, are constantly violated to ap
palling degrees. ,
This Is a grave indictment of our
public educaf onal Institutions. It is
not pleasant to be told that while
we are an instructed nation, we are
neither a disciplined nor an educated
nation. But our task Is not a simple
one. Our population Is heterogene
ous and we shall probably remain In
our laboratory a long time before
completing either the ideal citizen or
the ideal system of his training. We
cannot afford, though, to screen his
education through too free a sieve.
for the elements of moral precept
and civic honor and responsibility are
essential to his refinement.

the Idaho ballot is to write one's sell
down as a reactionary. The feeble reason
ing of the Idaho supreme court Is that,
according to the laws of Idaho, the new
party has no legsl standing in the state,
and that voters wishing to cast ballots for
Its nominees must therefore go to the
trouble of. writing the names of its elec
tors In the column provided for that pur
pose. Now,, it may be quite proper to re
quire a Taft man to go through a good
deal of formality in order to get his in
famous desires duly registered, but to put
an equal burden upon the saints who are
for the third party Is simply perversion
of power and malfeasance in office. Dis
franchisement of Taft pickpockets in
California is a piece of political righteous
ness, a glorious safeguarding of our
threatened Institutions; disfranchisement
of Roosevelt patriots in Idaho what is
this but political robbery? The colonel

BY MRS. MAE MARTYN.
" Mrs. J. S.: Wrinkles and other marks
of approaching old age which now worry
you are very common. However, you will
not have to worry if you will follow this
simple treatment: Apply to your face
every night a greaseless cream-jelly
made by mixing two teaspoonfuls glyc
erine and one ounce almoaoln into one
half pint cold water. Stir and let stand
several hours before using. Massage
frequently with this cream. It will re
move all dirt and excess oil from the
skin pores and in time you will not
have a rough, wrinkled face, but a fresh,
smooth, clean-looking skin of velvety
texture. I also find this preparation ex
cellent for removing tan, sunburn, black
heads, freckles and large pores in the
skin.
Juliet: Yes, any one afflicted with
superfluous flesh is always at a big dis
advantage, whether married or single.
To get rid of that annoying fat, stop at
your druggist's the next time you are
down town and get four ounces of par
notis. Dissolve this 'In I hi pints hot
water and take a tablespoonful three
times a dav (five minutes before each
meal), and your burdensome flesh, will
soon become cut down. The effect of

feel much better.
R. P. N.: To whiten and beautify your
face, neck and arms, dissolve four
ounces of spurmax in a half-pint witch
hazel or hot water, adding two tea
spoonfuls glycerine. Apply this lotion
freely and it will tone up your skin won
derfully and quickly. It makes the skin
soft and smooth, and will remove that
shiny, "muddy" look which is so annoy
ing to you. You will find this lotion
much better to use than face powder, as
it does not rub off. easily like powder
nor does it give one's face that "pow
dered look." I find this spurmax lotion
excellent for removing and preventing
freckles, chapping and roughness of the
skin.
Mrs. R. P.: If your hair Is getting so
thin that you have to wear false hair,
you should begin at once a treatment to
rid your scalp of dandruff which is the
direct cause of all scalp and hair-troubles.
If you will mix together an ounce
of quinzoin, one-half pint of alcohol (not
whiskey) and one-half pint cold water,
you will have a dependable remedy for
your hair-troubles. Rub this gently into
the roots of the hair twice a week, and
it will destroy the dandruff, stop your
falling hair. This 'quinine-tonic applied
regularly will make your hair soft, lus
trous and keep It from splitting at the
ends.

and wash the skin. This removes every i
particle of hair and leaves the skin1

Ester: Apply pyroxin to lash-rootsl
with thumb and forefinger and your eye
lashes will grow long and curly. Eye
brows can be made to grow thick and
glossy by rubbing on pyroxin with fin-1
ger-end. Be careful and don't get pyroxinj
where hair is not wanted.

Victoria: As long as your blood is,
loaded with Impurities, those impurities;
the application of external remedies will,
do no lasting good, for they do not reach
the cause. Dissolve one ounce of kar-

as often as you need It. but never use1

will make your hair dull, lifeless and
your scalp harsh. Shampoo with a tea-l
