The Sober Second Thought.

THE PASSAGE of the Nicaragua
canal bill in the house of repre-
sentatives is so fresh in ones
memory that the names of
the only two who opposed
it are readily recalled. The vote
stood sos to 2. All the members of the
house who, for days, had bean fighting
for delay, or for substitution of the
Panama route became panic-striCken
and voted with the majority The
overwhelming character of the vote
cast is surprising. But it Is more sur
prising when the reasons for such a
vote are recalled. They Wee mora
suited for swaYing a crowd on the
Fourth of July than for moving
body of men whose position and duties
presupposed powers of indie pendent
thinking says our Chicago contempor-
airy the New World. I'VE intended to
build the Nicaragua canal, and we
ought to; an American company had
started the work, therefore an Ameri-
can company should finish it,
And all the time these facts
were plain, assuming what was
reported by the commission to
be true that the Panama
route is worth to us the $4O,00O,00O
now demanded by the French company;
that the Panama route will be cheaper
by $6000,000; that it is a shorter dis
lance by 134 miles; that the operating
expenses are smaller by S1,900,OO0
year; that it has natural harbors at
both ends: that the Panama canal may
be made a sea-level canal, while the
Nicaragua canal will necessitate the
use of many locks; and finally, that
there is completed railway along the
Panama route, thus insuring prompt
of the work.
1t is a fact that the
financial condition of the Unit
ed States is exceedingly good, and
that the surplus in the treasury is so
large that recommendations have been
made to reduce taxes to warrant what
every one believes is unnecessary ex-
penditure. The house of representa-
tives has made a mistake that for
tunately may be rectified by the sem
ate. For it is improbable that the fus
tan reasons that carried the house
off it's feet will have any effect there.
The logic of the situation demands
that the cheapest and best route be
selected, and the cheapest and best
route is that now owned by the Pan
ANA company.

! tionally amiable qualities of mini and
heart and personality. Speaking Of her
at the time of her marriage 20 Don
Alfonso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, Ear
on Corvo says: she is now the wife
of royalty with a near prospect of a
throne, worshiped by the poor for her
transcendent beauty and her chart
ties, by the learned for her intellt-
gence, by her kin for her loving loyalty,
/ by her husband for her perfect wife
hood and motherhood, by all for her
transcendant beauty and her spotless
name. Why it has pleased modern
writer's and thinkers to depict this
pearl among women as a bear
ing maenad, a 'venifcious bacchan
ante, stained with revolving and I'M
natural turpitude, is one of those rid
dies to which there is no key"
The Baron believes that physiognomy
superficial study of the effigy of Ma
dona Lucrezia Borgia must put
her calumniators to shame. In
that simple profile of fea-
lures, clean-cut, delicate, refined; in
those chaste contours so gently round
ed, so sweetly fresh and feminine; in
the carriage of that Flavian head, we'll
poised and nobly frank, there can Turk
no faint of degeneracy."
Her marriage with Don Alfonso was
one of exceptional happiness. The
Duchess soon made herself beloved by
all Ferrara. She issued an edtct for
the protection of the Jews wno we're
the special objects of hatred - Chris
tians. When Regent of F'erra"a, she
carried her liberal mindedness 80 far
as to appoint d Jewess to care for her
wardrobe and to engage an Israe;Ife
for her physician. She was especially
tender to young girls. and guarded
their virtue by providing them win
suitable dowries.
Contemporary writer's ar eloquent in
describing the evenings which this ami
able lady spent in con 5ersItion with
poets and scholars, win artists and
musicians. Mauuzio, the great Fene-
tan painter, was extrlvagont in lis
praise of the Duchess and his sincerity
has never been questioned. When she
died at the age Of Il, in June. 1919, she
was deeply mou ned By her husband,
and it seemed 70 onlooke"s that all
the inhabitants Of Ferrara thronged
around her bier.

and the short, dry answers they were
charged to commit to memorXNnd re-

qualify themselves to receive Con-

concerning Catholic faith, while they
