where Arrow Heads Grow.

When vacation comes. DIR. Branner,
the head of the Stanford geological
department, HES himself far away from
all things pedagogical to the remote
Businesses of the mountains, and there
studies the formation of the rocks and
reads the life history of earth in the
deposits of the ages. Last vacation he
was in the Sierras, says the San Fran
cisco Wave. He had as his guide a
never been twenty miles from the home
of his childhood. He looked with much
amusement and scorn upon DR.. Bran
ner and his assistants and saw moth
ing in the work that was of interest.
To him the students seemed more like
good men gone daft. One day Mr..
Branner located an old Indian burying
ground. In digging he came upon some
choice arrow heads. Thinking to test
his guides geological as well as his
chronological knowledge. the doctor
said;
Elijah do you know how these ar
row heads came here2'
"Growed thar" said the native, with
great positiveness.
"Nonsensel III you were 10 take an
arrow head and put In on your table

'Tain't no nonsense, nuthef," said
Elijah. "lf you was 10 take a potato
and put it on your table. and leave II

Seldom is there anything as sensa-
tional seen on the stage as the escape
of the Biddle brothers from the Jail at
Pittsburg. Pa, accompanied by Mrs.
Soffel, the wife of the warden. and their
capture.
The scenes and incidents-of the Biddle
story would make a melodrama equal
in intensity to Monte Cristo." But
what sober-minded people cannot I'M
derstand is. why did Mrs. Soffel leave
her home and family and cast her lot
with the two burglars and murderers?
1t is stated, of course. that she was
in love with one of them. but if she
was a sane woman she would not have
made the sacrifices she did for him, es-
pecially as she had no assurance that
he would not desert her if they sue
ceeded in eluding the officers.
A study of the situation would have
convinced her that even IL they sue
eeeded in getting out of Jail they could
not escape-or, at least. would have
made her doubt that they would escape.
There is nothing in the accounts that
have been published to show that she
was not treated kindly by her hus-
band, and there is evidence that she
had a deep affection for her children.
Even if the pleasantest relations did not
exist between her and her husband. the
desire to protect her children from any
shadow of shame would have restrained
her from taking the step she did, IL
she had been a healthy woman, men,
tally. .
1t is intimated in the accounts of the
tragedy that she had been acting
queerly, and that one of the Biddles
had acquired an extraordinary influence
over her. This influence is attributed
to her affection for him, but may it
not be that she was mentally weak
from illness of some sort, and that he
exercised a hypnotic influence over
her? He may not have endeavored to
hypnotic her, but his will being so
much stronger than hers, the influence
he exerted over her may have been
hypnotic. Certainly if she was able to
think at all, and had a will of her
own, she would never have become
party to an undertaking which required
her to sacrifice so much and which Of
fered her so little in return. The fact
that she was not girl that had grown
up without proper restraints and teach
ings, but mature woman, a wife and
a mother, seems to bear out this view

MIR. HAMA AND THE CANAL.

There is a very general impression
that Senator Hanna is the leader of
the opposition to the adoption of the
Nicaragua route for an isthmian canal.
Apparently there are some who enter
tain the belief that he is endeavorins
TO defeat all canal legislation. Whether
he is or not will doubtless appear later
on. If it should turn out that he is
in sympathy with the transcontinental
railways, and is doing what he can to
assist them in defeating water compe-
tition, he will lose some of his popu-
larity with his own party. He never
had much with the opposition party.
II cannot be predicted of course what
the outcome of the investigation of the
merits of the different routes which has
been begun by the Committee on In
teroceanic Canals will be. but the opin-
ion is expressed by those who have Civ
en- the matter a great deal of attention
that the committee will report almost
unanimously in favor of the Nicaragua
route.
There are several reasons for this
opinion. One is that the constitution of
Colombia does not permit of the grant
ing of such right of way along the
Panama route as the United States in
sist upon having. 1t doesn't permit
perpetual right. Another reason is that
there is a treaty in existence between
the United States and Colombia by
which it is provided that any canal
constructed on the Panama route by
the United States shall be controlled
jointly by the latter and Colombia.
There are other reasons, some of them
very strong ones, which will make
Congress hesitate to look with favor
on the Panama route.
One of the witnesses who will be be-
fore the Committee on Ihteroceanic Ca
nails this week is ex-senator Pasco of
Florida, a member of the Isthmian Ca
nal Commission. Mr.. Pasco strongly
favored the Nicaragua route when the
first report of the commission was
made, but he joined with the other
commissioners in a report in favor OF
the Panama route after the Panama
Canal Company offered to accept $40
600, 900 for its property He visited
Paris for the purpose of finding out the
legal status of the Panama Company.
1t was the understanding that he orig
inally favored the Nicaragua route
solely because of its superior advant-
ages from an engineering standpoint.
The Committee on Interoceanic Canals
wants to know if that understanding is
correct, and, if So why he changed his
view when the Panama Companys Of
fer was received. Assuming that the
line of questioning Indicated will be
followed the inference is that the COM
mittee is strongly in favor of the Mic
aragua route.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Connmercial-AppeaI
son with Grant. Here's nonsense for
you. Grant was in the fights of the
Mexican war, and he fought right
along through the Civil War Samp-
son passed through both the Civil and
the Spanish American wars without
ever getting into fight He has been
in the navy over forty years and has
never been in an engagement. There is
about as much likeness between
Ulysses 5. Grant and William T.
peare and Dooley."
The Cincinnati Enquirer Dem.)
says: "The enduring principles Of the
party are well enough established not
to require repetition by the Democratic
House caucus this winter. The conven-
lions of the Democratic party will
make whatever changes In professions
OF faith may be required. Between con-
ventions individual Democrats have a
wide range OF liberty on current ques-
lions"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Gnd) says: President Roosevelts or
der to government employees to keep
their hands OFF the business OF in
fiuencing legislation Is In keeping with
the vigorous reform spirit OF this adj
ministration. The 0fiiceholders are be-
ing reminded OF Cleveland times In this
particular"
The Boston Globe Ond) says; SEN
ator Tillman claims brotherhood with
the 'harharians' 81 Samar. That's
nothing. The first families Of England
claim relation with such barbarians AS
William NE Conquoror."

QUEER ADVICE.

The current number of the Com
moner. Mr.. Bryan's paper, contained
the following:
Newspapers that have for so long
been holding up Mr. Schwab as a
model and example for American boys
should now advise the boys to invest in
few chips and watch the turn of the
wheel"
This is queer advice for so sterling
a paper as Mr.. Bryan's to give Surely
1t cannot be sincere in giving it. Why
should the newspapers which held UP
Mr.. Schwab, the president of the
United States Steel Corporation, to the
youth of the country as an example
worthy to be followed now advise the
boys to become gamblers?
AS far as is known there was moth
ing in Mr.. Schwab's career up to the
time he started on his trip to Europe.
10 which any reasonable objection
could be taken. He began life a poor
boy, earning about a dollar a day, and
by hard work ard close attention to
business accumulated a fortune of
many millions of dollars and rose to
the position Of president of the great
est industrial plant in the world be-
fore he had reached the age of forty.
No one had ever said that he was not
thoroughly honest man or that his
private life was not correct in every
respect. There was no reason, therefore.
why newspapers should not hold him
up as an example for boys to follow.
Mr.. Schwab went to Europe on a
vacation, and it was reported that he
gambled at Monte Carlo. Therefore
Mr.. Bryan's paper suggests that the
newspapers that advised boys before
he went to take him as a model should
now advise boys to engage in gam
bling. The inference is that Mr.. Bry-
ans paper thinks that newspapers
which advised boys to follow the ex-
ample of a man who had lived a cor
rect life and won great success by hard
work and persistent effort should ad-
wise them 10 continue to follow his
example if he should step down from
the high moral plane which he had
occupied and become dissipated. We dc
not think that the Commoner's readers
will approve the advice it gives.
We do not. of course. mean to say
that Mr.. Schwab gambled at Monte
Carlo. That is a matter we do not
undertake to pass upon. We simply
mean to call attention to the advice
| given in Mr.. Bryan's paper.

only to discover that he had blank
cartridge in his gun. Something of
the same feeling must have been ex-
perienced the other evening by Phil
adelphia lawyer in Boston. He delivered
an address to number of preachers.
He told them that great deal OF the
preaching heard nowadays consisted
of dreary drivel, and that too many
of the preachers seemed TO be in the
business because they were paid to

A LONG srRUGGLE pRopABLE.

The testimony that Gov. Taft gave
before the Senate Committee on the
Philippines on Saturday was calculated
to create the impression that it will
take a long time to pacify the Fill
pinos-that is, make them satisfied
with American rule. Among other
things he said that three members of
the Philippine government had be-
come members of the Federal party,
one of the principles of that party be-
ing that the Philippines must either
become an integral part of the United
States or independent. Gov. Taft fur
Their said that the rich Filipinos were
for continuing the struggle for indie
pendence.
1t is evident from the information
obtained from the most favorable
sources that the outlook for peace in
the near future is far from promising.
1t has been a long time since it was
first announced that there was peace
in the Philippines, but 1t is known now
that there isn't peace there, and that
there isn't likely to be soon. 1t is
stated that either of two declarations If
made by Congress would bring peace
at once-one that the Filipinos are to
have their independence at a stated
time in the near future, and the other
that the Islands are to become a part
OF the United States just as soon as
arrangements to that effect can be
made. II is not likely that Congress
will make either Of these declarations
certainly not as long as the Republl-
can party has control of Il.

sorry the latter could not go to Flor
