The headway gained by the project for the lakts-to-ocean waterway via the St. Lawrence river if carrying opposition before like a tidal wave sweeping over driftwood. This does not mean that the batttc'is over yet, for the inter ests of New York and other Atlantic coast ports that are affected by the move are too deeply rooted to be easily overcome. What is true, though, is that as often as the project is fairly presented to a representative gathering of men of the region that will gain most from the con struction of the canal, .it gets endorsement. General Goethals, now out of the army and practicing his profession in New Yoik, has recorded his opinion to the effect that the St. Lawrence canal is unnecessary. Against this projectors of the canal offset the fact that Cen tral Goethals is concerned in improvements of the New York harbor, and therefore is not the most competent witness as to what is needed elsewhere to improve ocean-borne traflic condi tions. WTiat is omitted in such discussions usually is the fact that the New York gateway is inade quate to the needs of the whole country, and even if it were capable of handling all the traffic, it would be unwise to create a monopoly there. Improvements in New York harbor facilities are sorely reeded, as it is far from being up-to-date in its arrangements for handling freight, either incoming or outgoing. ' Moreover, with the best of equipment available, there yet remains busi ness enough to tax the New York harbor, even with its prospective extension fully completed. It was not intended that the lakes-to-ocean waterway should have a sectional aspect, because it is believed that it will be good, not only for the region where it is getting such general sup port, but for the whole country, and indirectly for the world. The same considerations that reconciled the middle west to the Panama canal project are applicable to the St. Lawrence plan. It will lessen the cost of transportation, shorten the distance from one part of the world to an other, and permit a greater portion of the result of productive effort to be devoted to the proper use of wealth, that of providing for the comfort of the producers. The atmosphere at Washington is very fa vorable for the canal just now, and the leaders of the movement are confident that preliminaries will not be permitted to unnecessarily delay the active work of building the dams and locks needed to permit ocean-going vessels to steam inland a thousand miles further from tide water than they now reach. , Saving Some of the Navy. Secretary Denby and heads of the naval bu reaus are hoping to enlist the president in in terest of the department, which is threatened with all but extinction by some enthusiasts in congress. Limitation of naval armament has been agreed upon, but that is not taken to mean the entire and utter abandonment of the navy. If we are to preserve the force that was alloted to the United States by the Washington confer ence, it will be necessary to retain some officers and men to look after the vessels, whether in commission or not. The secretary makes the showing that the personnel is already far below that allowed by law, and is less than Great Britain's and proportionately less than that of Japan. He asks to be permitted, not to expand unduly the number of men engaged in the serv ice, but to retain those already in to the end that vessels that must be kept can be properly looked Y after, and the ordinary routine duties of the navy irt'time of peace be carried on. This does not appear to be an unreasonable request. Congress may be looked to with confidence that it will curb any tendency toward extravagance in the navy, but it ought not to be asked by the people to incur possible waste by limiting too closely the number of men employed in working the ships. It is not a raid on the treasury that is threatened but a raid on the safety of the nation. Relentless War on the Rat. One immigrant from Europe who lost little or no time in becoming Americanized is the com mon gray rat. . That is, he is common because there are so many of him. He is not migratory by nature, his preference being for the vicinity of his birth, and his distribution is accidental and not by reason of any inclination of his own to wander. He came to this country on board ship, where he had been caught up with the cargo on which he preyed. He has been trans ported in like manner from one part of the land to another, until no section is free from him. Destructive and dangerous, because he gnaws containers to get at his food, because he carries disease, and expensive, because it costs hundreds i millions each jfax V maintain him in the style ha it Bcctitt9m4 li ih rat U shout the Watt Iclirebl I ! the reuntry'i inhabitant!.

One inclined to be facetious might extract quite a little amusement out of the spectacle of the democrats reacting in a mast to the speech of Senator Pepper. However, this may be left to others, while we look at the situation from an other angle. Senator "Pat" Harrison from time to time rises in his place, and proceeds to lam- bast the republican party from president down, scoring its root and branch, past, present and future, and wins the approving plaudits of his party. Senator "Jimmy" Reed putt on a fire works display every now and then, and demo cratic admiration for his performance is un bounded, his colleagues forgetting that he is the same "Jimmy" Reed who was thrown out of the convention at San Franeisco, although he had twice been elected as a delegate by his con stituents at Kansas City. Then Heflin, and Tom Watson and others of the ilk take frequent op portunity to abuse everybody connected with the republican party, Couching their remarks in the chaste and elegant diction for which they have become noted, and it is all right. Democrats perk up all over the land, and intimate, if they do not say, "'Ear, 'carl" How different it all becomes when a repub lican pauses for a moment to call attention to the shortcomings of a democrat! Then it is. that an outraged sense of senatorial dignity rears up and demands that the remarks be expunged from the record. Senator Pepper has not served long in his present capacity, but he will be han dled with care hereafter by the honorable gentle men on the other side. Justice, a Jury, ancj a Woman. Once more the unexpected has happened, and a woman has been found guilty of murder, a jury in Council Bluffs having voted to convict Mrs. Eva King. This was her second trial on the charge, so it may be assumed that she had the benefit of every possible defense, and that her able attorneys left" nothing undone that would influence the jury in her favr. This warrants the further assumption that the facts developed by the prosecution left no room for doubt as to the guilt of the accused. All this being true, it may be asked why any especial attention is paid to the outcome. The reason is that it is so seldom a jury will bring in a verdict of guilty When a woman is defendant. Call it chivalry, "sex ap peal," or whatever you wish, the fact remains that men are very reluctant to visit punishment on a woman, no matter how heinous her offense or how certain the proof of her guilt. Justice does not distinguish between sexes, however, and there is no warrant for releasing a woman merely because the is a woman. Many times sad experience has shown that a woman can be even more difficult to deal with than a man, once she has directed her gifts to a criminal career. No possible pleasure can be derived front seeing anyone 6ent to prison, but some grim satisfac tion may be extracted from contemplating a jury that has its sense of justice sufficiently de veloped to convict a woman when the facts are against her. The wonder girl is not so much different from other girls, after all. She received $1,000 for her engagement at a local theater, and spent most of it for dresses. If the Omaha city commission should go on record in favor of light wines and beer, that would. settle the question for the commission. Just now certain Omaha experts art in search of a perfect back. We know some folks that are exhibiting an awful front. Chicago is to have a law enforcement com missioner, but it would be better, perhaps, to have a little law enforcement. It is significant of something tA note that the air is. being overcrowded with radio messages. At least the movie actors can not complain that they never had a chance. - A perfect back is a good' asset, however developed.- Democratic senators are very touchy at times, it seems.

Gleenwood, Iowa. Dear Philo: In regard to the item reeardinsr rabbits with long, stiff horns being found in large numbers at Red Oak, la., and the remark that Red Oak must serve some real "red eye," look back a few days and see that quite a bunch of fellows over there were suspicioncd of ped dling hootch and one guy was thought to be bringing it in with an airship. Only last summer a man from here was traveling south 'of that town one night and says he saw a dead man in the road ahead of him. He stopped the car so suddenly that it stood straight up on the front wheels until he reached back and pushed it down. When he took an officer and went back next day, nothing could be found except a track that looked like a wounded alligator had crossed the road where he saw the corpse. The fringe on the rear auto seat turned pure white during the night. P. H. D. EXCITEMENT AT GOTH. Gothenburg, Neb. Dear Philo: Whether or not it is permissible to voice appreciation of "Philo's" wit and wis dom, I am' in doubt, but as it's a stimulant on which humor thrives, here's how his AFTER THOUGHT, following "Home Brew" last Sun day was appreciated at our ranch. First the tea table sliook till weak, m tue legs, which started a "tempest in the teapot" the fire grew faint, the tea kettle bubbled over, the water became thin, the tea rose in spirit, the rups sounded cracked, the toast made the butter fly. the buns turned to currant events, and the cake "fell" for Philo Dad blew out. the "kid" howled- and the queen gave thanks for the kick in home brew, that turned the last trick in favor of you.

KviB OX Ten Fat Years For the next ten years there is to be no war between any of the great powers. The mere statement carries with it a feeling of incredibil ity. Had the old Germany been included that feeling would have been well founded. But with out her, none of the great powers has any desire for aggressive warfare, and without aggression there need be no defensive warfare. The powers all want peace. They want to be assured of it. and to obtain that assurance they have striven to remove the causes of war. China and Japan might have gone to war over Shantung, only to reach an agreement in the end. I hat agreement has been reached in the besinning. and there is no need for war on that question. All the Pacific islands were potential Causes of war in a race for the mastery of the Facihc. That mastery has been achieved, but instead of one master there are four, and these four have agreed not to fight, but to settle disputes at a conference table. New York Commercial.

A ereat many experiment have been made in effort to find tha an swer. Here are a few of the discov eries today: The organ most concerned Willi growth la the pituitary body. It, and especially the front half of It, has much to do with the growth of tha bones and muscles, and those determine stature. The rapid changes at puberty tlmo are duo to a reaction between the gonads and the pituitary. The pin eal gland has a good deal to do with growth in childhood. So does the thymus. The thvrnid eland serves to re strain growth or to hold It In check. I refer to bonv growtn. Feeding thyroid, in addition to its effect on stature, causes the liver, kidneys, spleen, lymph glands and adrenals to grow large. It causes the thyroid gland to aecrcase in i". The thyroid lias a good deal to do with growth of hair, skin and nails. The parathyroid glands have nothlnsr to do with growth. Feed ing parathyroid in no way affects the size of rats, nor the size of any of their organs. The rate of growth can be con siderably modified by very radical modincations of the diet. Tho best known of these modifications is leavlnc out the fat soluble. A vita- mlne from the diet for a consider able period of time. If none of It is given, tne suojecis develop sore eye. If sonio Is given, but not eqough, they become under sized and illy nourished. However, experiments made in the Philippines indicate that it is pretty hard permanently to runt animals by even the grossest under feeding. . As Mitchell. Mendel and Oshorn say, the-desire of a young animal for food is something more than for satisfaction of calorie needs. The demand made by the growth im pulse must be met by proper chemi cal constitution. This means that this growth pattern, inherited from an ancestor, and this growth im milsn which all young animals have, will drive one to get the proper food later, if not sooner. Eating and diet and all such are of minor importance in establishing adult size, and so is exercise. Of course, the quack methods are straight fakes.

C. H. GILLI LAX. What's the Matter With tlio Farmer? Norfolk, Neb., Feb. S. To the Editor of The Bee: "What's the matter with the farmer?" Those who live among them and who are de pendent upon their good will are afraid to tell them. Those who live in the cities rarely meet them In a personal way. The result is that the farmer has been pretty well confirmed in the idea that he is "down trodden," always "getting the dirty end of the stick," and "that the whole world is a combina tion to beat him." I have been a country doctor for 20 years and know these people Intimately. I. too, have been silent when they voiced their woes. Among the farm ing class there are people of great intelligence, broad vision, big hearts and cultured minds. But the farm er as a class is not so. As a class he is intensely self-centered, ego tistical and ignorant of the world outside his sphere. It Is not un common to hear him remark that the people in town have "not paid for their clothes" and "do not have half enough to eat." The farmer is buckiug a stiff game; ho fights the weather, and he has to take a market price over which he has had littio control. Be cause of this he has degenerated into tho premier "kicker" of the universe. When I got back from France in 1819, and during that wonderful year (as far as ready money was concerned) with wheat at $2.25 and corn at $1.80, there was an enormous amount of kicking among the farmers because of the high price of what they had to buy, although they personally were prof- Uln tnoinioualy because of hifb I'N' t. The trouble wuH tha fumr l Ida tndUlduallttlii and eclf-rentcred tendency and the tMrfme dirflculiy of nailiiif him down t any kind of a rnmmntd effort. For eat one of hia favorite aloiana baa barn, 'iu aay with the middleman." This la an Impoetihle rneeiton aa fr a tha farmer U I'tmcerntd. All efforts aloe thla line have been more or rs abortive and hats r. suited in a email irnt to a few and n fc-eiurl ili to the farmer aa a Ua. Ilia I'O-uperaiivs stores have been able to sell little if any theaper than the ordinary mr. chant. There baa been no profit to him unites be held etm.lt. In tnort of hla leuialrtthe rffurta the farmer haa ami In to eliminate competition especially In the matter of grain e rhangea. Tha farmer ahould atlck tn hla knlltlnc and leave the mid dleman alone. Tha middleman baa Juat aa much right to a legitimate existence aa tho farmer. When the faruirr get toethr they elect eome farmer to lead them, llo la as rule soma retired farmer from t'ndunk who baa amaaaril a fortune, following thla "dnwn-tiodd'-n" railing and who haa served a term or two In the state lotixlature. II" la In no aenae of the word the kind of man they need to loud tlicni a bl bualutva man. When you go into any of thee prosneroua eastern Nebraska town, what do you Pud? A very good per centage of tha beautiful modern reeldenoei are occupied by "retired farmers." Are theae old turn? They are not. Many of i hem are "young" men in the prima of life. 41 to (0 years old. who have g"t tired of "gettlnu the dirty end of the stick" and have moved to town, built a beautiful home and will live off the Interest on their iuvei-uiiems for SO to 40 yeurs before they die. The farmer will never get out of tha wooda until lie chnngc his en tire viewpoint of life, until he ralees above hla self-centerednesa, his ego tism, his rhronlo grouch, his inabil ity to combine for the common good and to stay put in a combination. And then he haa got to find a Moats, a really great constructive leader, to ehow him the way out of his wilderness and bo should not be afraid to look outside his own call ing for such a leader.
