The ISIHMIAN CANAL.

The passage OF the isthmian canal
bin by the Senate yesterday ought to
be matter of congratulation to every
American. 1t is of the profoundest
Importance to the people of this sec
ton. as the union of the two oceans
will bring the far west into closer
commercial relations with the far east
The bill that passed the Senate is n
substitute for the measure that passed
the House some time ago. 1t provides
that the President shall select the
Panama route If he can obtain a clear
title to the Panama Canal company's
property. but otherwise he shall adopt
the Nicaragua route. We can see no
objection to this. There is no vital
difference between the routes. and a
navigable canal connecting the oceans
Is the main question.
The Panama route has some mani
Test advantages, among them being
that 1t is less than one-third as long
as the Nicaragua way; has less than
half as much curvature; requires but
twelve hours for transit, as against
thirty-three for the Nicaragua; has
fewer locks; has better harbors at
both ends; has a railroad and full
working equipment in operation; will
cost much less for maintenance: IL out
Of the earthquake belt; is not near
any volca@oes. and can be put on a sea
level
These advantages are all practical
The old Panama Canal company has a
bad odor. and robbed and debauched
the people of France. But that need
not be a vital consideration with us
II We can get clear title to what they
have, and can utilize it, we need not
bother ourselves with the company's
past history. The advantages OF the
Panama route involves no demagogic
appeals to passion and prejudice. They
are arguments that would weigh with
any business man who was thinking of
engaging in the business on his own
account. And they are more far
reaching than appears on their face.
For example, the fact that thrty-three
hours are required for transit of the
Nicaragua route involves also the loss
of two nights. for the canal navigation
can only be pursued in the day time
while, after ship gets through. ii can
pursue its way on the ocean at night,
II clear title can not be had to the
works and franchises of the Panama
company, the President can, under the
provisions of the Senate bill, take I'D
the Nicaraguan route. This ought to
De sufficient for those who want a
canal and are Indifferent as to the
routes. The canal is the thing. and
IT now really looks as If the progressive

half a century was about to be real

THE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING.
Thanksgiving.

Governor Chester Il. Jordan, of New
Hampshire. in his proclamation ap-
pointing Thursday, November 2S, as a
day of thanksgiving In his State, says:
Ever since the golden autumn of 1921
dawned upon our forefathers at Ply
mouth for various reasons and at sun
dry times thanksgiving days have been
observed. Fast and thanksgiving days
from time to time were appointed as
waves of sorrow or streams of joy
broke over our ancestors. The annual
harvest festival, so beautifully inau-
gurated and long kept, first by the
Colonies and afterward by the State,
was most appropriately nationalized
by the immortal Lincoln In November,
1868. This day. more than any other,
takes strong hold upon our hearts, our
affections, our souls. Around 1t cluster
tenderest memories of father, mother,
brother, sister and friend. ms all were
once together about the home fireside
and set up their household penates
In our visions, dreams and recollec.
tions these home ties, home scenes,
some of them too sacred to tell to the
world, come thronging in upon us to
make both us and the day better. a
day dedicated to so much that is dear
so enshrined in heart and home, should
be worthlly, tenderly and patriotically
kept"

persuade the family to come there-it

great uncle all about home and Rosy
rosy and Flopsy and Miss Elsie, who
was his Sunday-school teacher and his

Flopsy had last year earning their

After the ice-cream was finished they
went to the telegraph office and sent

The old gentleman chuckled and
nodded.
Then there was nothing else to do
but spend the night in Richmond with
the new-found uncle, and such fun it
was to stay at hotel.
Early in the morning Billy Dick and
his great-uncle took the train for Nor
folk, and soon the engine was putting
into the station. And-Oh, joy!-there
was Dad anxiously peering through
the window for his boy. He had
jumped on the train before It stopped
and had Billy Dick In his arms.
In fact, Billy Dick forgot all about
his new-found uncle, for his father was
so glad to see him safe and sound.
