There will be great improvements
during the twentieth century in the
matter of water ways. Germany
starts off with an arrangement to con-
struct five canals at a cost of ninety

a full fruition of their hopes, which,

A London fog costs a quarter of a
million dollars daily for extra lights
and the loss of business in various
ways. If some long-headed inventor
would only devise plan to dfspal fogs

into the air to break UP hailstorms,
and such like. he would Grove to be

Why, right here in Marietta the fogs

Was it the knowledge that in south

so severe that the wolves have ravag

knowledge gained from the news dis

self out on the couch. He wasn't
exactly an edifying specimen when
one OF his chums, living in the same
house, entered the room along toward
o'clock the next morning to arouse
the stretched out youth to the fact
that he had a job to hold down, and
that it was time for him to be as
sembled himself In truth, the young
chap presented so typical picture of
that next morning disreputability that
his chum, without awakening him,
slipped into his room, got out his
camera and took a snapshot of the
slumbering roysterer. Then he
aroused the young fellow and got him
to fix himself up in shape for going
to his Office.

handed to the youth print

contained in an expressive smile. The

that of Senator Chambers in October,
1895, holding up the specter OF war,
and insisting that nothing but conces-
sions or sensible precautions could
prevent armed collision with Great
Britain. From hencoforth he was the
leader of the "fifty-four forties'' or the
limoges as they would now be called.
Accordingly in the campaign Of 1S4S
Cass became the hot favorite OF the
democratic party. But being more OF
a statesman than a mere politician he
was defeated, the question of squatter
sovereignty, and incidentally the hos
tility of British interests having con-
tributed to the confusion or disrup-
ton of the Cass contingent. There
were barnburners and free sellers and
cotton wings and conscience wings
and Henekers and regular democrats
and roundheads, while the great cen
trail facts stood out against Cass that
he had wabbled with Webster
on the doctrine of annexation
in 1914 and that he had firted with
the question Of states rights, but
above all was Van Buren's opposition.
1t was the often-expressed opinion
of William H. Seward that Van Buren,
never committed but one fatal error
in politics, and that was when, nurs-
ing resentment at his failure to secure
the nomination in 1914, he permitted
a wing of his party to nominate him
as a hopeless candidate in 1S4S, there
by entailing just what was intended to
be entailed the defeat of the demo
cratic candidate.
General Cass was never greater
than in the hour of his defeat by
General Taylor in 184S. He looked
upon himself merely as the represen-
tative of his party, and took his de-
feat with perfect compOsure and with
out resentment. 1t was the party
which was defeated, and not Cass,
the man, in his opinion, and the sim
pie dignity with which, after having
served for a time in the cabinet of
Buchanan, he retired from public life
to his home in Michigan, was beauti-
full indication of the mans real great
ness.
In the senate, however, he welded
a powerful influence, and with Henry
Clay opposed the claims of the south
ern states to such an extent that Cass
will always be considered one OF
those great Americans who built UP
this nation and who furthered policies
calculated to strengthen it in the
north and to free it from the curse
Of slavery in the south.
Webster, Clay and Cass are a trio
! of American statesmen who graced
| the senate or the office Of the secre
tary Of state and who even if none Of
them ever attained to the presidency
worthily maintained the traditions
of this country a generation ago. He
was not Washington in national sig
nificance, nor Lincoln in admiaistra
ton, nor a Grant in arms, but he was
true American who stood up against
Lord Brougham and Clarendon fol
the rights of his country. He was
man of sound judgment. Physically
he had a large figure, with massive
head, firm mouth, and features thai
bespoke earnestness, animation, Amer
icanism and personal and political in
! tegrity.
The career of Cass is the more ap
propriate study just now because
some of the difficulties he confronted
and some of the politics he advocated
are of large interest as a result of ou1

To the Fallen,

How sleep the brave who sink to rest
BY all their country's wishes hlest.
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
She there shall dress a sWeeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their kneIl is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their
clay;
And Freedom shall awhile repair
To dwell weeping hermit there!
