4 Western Institution.
q - al, ,tsA1I INIa-. .,IltA- .

A feature of western life which always
interests and amuses fasteners is the board
sidewalks to be found in most of the smaller
towns and occasionally in cities of consid-
cradle size. Where wood is cheap and mud
is deep there is a double inducement to the
use of this convenient but temporary foot
pavement, and sometimes these walks
stretch out over the crisp black prairie soil
like an endless bridge, the tall, dusty rosin-
weed ~slapping the legs of the pedestrian
who is not careful to keep in the center.
But this souvenir Of the old days is passing
away fastened in its departure by suits for
damages, for the decaying board walk is
treacherous to life and limb.

Lord H%erschell, formerly lord high
chancellor of England, in a speech re-
Gently delivered in this country deplored
the tendency of the age toward special
ties in education. 1t is unfortunate
that Lord Herschell did not go fully INTO
the subject, for it is one fraught with
more than passing interest. That edu-
cation is less thorough now than for
merly would probably be denied by the
great institutions of learning in this
country and in Europe, and in a sense
that contention would be correct. But
that the tendency of this thoroughness
lis directed along certain lines to the ne
glect of others of equal Importance can
scarcely be denied. The idea that it is
only necessary to study those things di-
rectly bearing on the work to be fol
lowed in the future is gaining ground
not only with students, but even in some
of the more important colleges. OF
course where the students means Will
only enable him to take n short term at

none, but where no such reasons exist
the encouragement should not be toward

The Pacific railroads were subsidized
by the government because to Il certain
extent their construction was a mil
itary necessity. Should congress
finally decide to subsidize the Mica
raguan canal 1t will be done
largely as n naval necessity. both
enterprises will, of course, prove of in
calculable benefit to commerce between
the Atlantic and Pacific. Just what
advantage the canal will be to the pro-
ducers of the midwest will depend upon
the ability of the transcontinental rail-
road lines TO meet the competition OF
the isthmian steamship lines.

Tidal Waves Are Dangerous.

Speculation in shares and bonds has at
tanned phenomenal proportions. There ap-
pears to be a sound foundation for advanc-

that there is a limit for prudent trans
action. The tidal waves that carry apparent
values skyward create when the ebb comes
a corresponding depression. These record
breaking days are breakers not withou,

You meet In LIES unequal ranks, don't

Remember, like your fellow men, you're but

Though as a sparkling jewel in society you

Though flatterers may tell you you're just

Though pretty girls may flood you with
their ever-ready smiles
And strive to hold you captive in the net
work of their wiles,
Don't think you are Il demi-god of semi
human birth,
Don't think you hold a mortgage overdue

Don't tilt your nose too loftily or some

You're more the peacock than the man, SO

The performance of Senator Butler be-
ciples of secession to be right was as un-
fortunate as it was uncalled for at this
time. Whatever he or the south may
think of the question of right or wrong
involved in it the time has long since
passed for its discussion. The questions
raised by the unfortunate and suicidal
issue have been forever settled by the
stern |arbitrament of war and from that
decision it Is well that there is no ap-
peal. No one. with the possible eXcep-
ton of Senator Butler. wants to thresh
over that old straw. Events have dem
onstrated the unwisdOm of states
rights that led to the most unfortunate
and the bloodiest war of the worlds
history, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the people : of the south,
satisfied with the results II are per-
fectly willing to let the dead past bury
its dead. We are now in a new era that
concerns itself not so much with
the past as with the duties of the pres
ent and the promises of the future. AS
Il reunited people the promises of the
future are beyond the comprehension of
man. and all sections and parties should
present a solid and uncompromising
front to any effort that has for its object
c%onjuring up the ghost of an I'M
fortunate past. The past is dead. but
the present and the future with all of
their glorious possibilities are ours, and
let us make the most of them.

THE SHIPPING PROBLEM.

The National Association of Manu-
which has been introduced in both
branches of congress providing for the
building up of the merchant marine. In
reference to this measure the president
of the association in his annua report
said it is generally conceded to be the
most carefully prepared and most thor
oughly practical plan that has thus far
been framed. 1t proposes to encourage
the building and operation Of ships I'M
der the American flag by the payment
Of subsidies based upon tonnage n
distance travelled, this compensation
being granted upon the condition that
the owners of the subsidized vessels
shall construct within q period of five
years new American tonnage equal to
at least % per cent of the tonnage of
the vessels receiving such compenSa-
ton. Provision is made for further in
crease in our shipping by granting
American registry to foreign-built YES
sells upon the condition that the owners
shall construct within a period of five
years new American tonnage equal to
at least 80 per cent of the tonnage of
the f~oreign-built vessels thus admitted
to American registry. These are the
two essential principles embodied IN
the proposed legislation.
The recognition by so important a
body as the National Association of
Manufacturers of the necessity Of build
ing up the merchant marine ought to
exert a great deal of influence. The as
ISOLATION is composed Of men who are
largely engaged in the foreign trade and
who therefore understand the advantage
that would accrue to the vast interests
they represent from being able to ship
their merchandise in American ships
sailing under the American flag. They
speak with an authority on this subject
that belonds to no other interest. But
our agricultural. producers are hardly
less concerned in an American merchant
marine, since the large amount of
money now annually paid to foreign
ship-Owners would remain here and be
spent for home products, while a further
benefit to our producers would come
from the development of the ship-build-
ing industry.
The proposed law will not, however,
be enacted by the present congress. 1t
is possible that the bill will pass the
house, but it cannot pass the senate. In
the next congress the chances for the
success of such a measur. viii be very
good.
