The GROWING sold Home" Spirit

The celebrations of Old Home Week
full and enjoyable this season that
various commonW eaDths in the Union
are showing an inclination to follow so
excellent an example in future years.
New York Tribune.
1t is great idea and deserves to be
made general and permanent. The lit
tie seed which Governor Rollins sowed
on New Hampshire's rocky soil has
blossomed and borne fruit far beyond
any of his dreams. For every city,
village and community in the states
which have sent out sons and daughters
to other states and lands, as have all
our commemorative in the eastern,
central and southern parts of the
Union, the Old Home week movement
is a benefit and blessing. 1t is not
that great celebra tons, with bands
and parades and fireworks, are neces-
sary for it's successful observance, but
the spirit of the thing, the quiet home
coming of the many whose interest is
revived by the movement, the local
pride which is stimulated, the centen-
NAL and other anniversaries which it
has made more commonly celebrated,
the gifts of libraries and other
memorials which it has brought about,
the family reunions, and the general
advertising which it gives state-these
are few of the results which make
the Old Home week movement some
thing to be appreciated and encour-
aged. 1t has done much for the state
where it mad it's origin, and for Maine
and the rest of New England. 1t has
gained place close to the hearts OF
the people,-those at home, and the
natives and their descendants else
where, and while it cannot mean az
| much to most states as it does to New
England, it is nevertheless destined t.
be an institution much more natlona
in its scope than it has yet become.

In the September Cosmopolitan Sir
Thomas Upton tells the story of his
three attempts to capture the Americas
cup. While all of his narrative is inter-
esting and we'll told, most of lit lacks
the element of newness or novelty.
Yet there are two statements particu-
larly worthy of note. One is that he
has never bet a dollar on a yacht race;
that he believes the laying of wagers
"cheapens the sport, no matter what
may be the moral side of the question
His second statement is that Gin the
crew of the challenger are numerous
men who are racing shippers at home;
men of rare intelligence and attain
ment; men who have shipped with us
as mere members of the crew. They
are Invaluable. They come with us in
these positions because they wish the
prestige of having sailed on the chal-
lerger, and because they would move
heaven and earth to bring about a
victory by all fair means. My vessel is
sailed by the best crew ever gathered
together in the United Kingdom"

The lnter.Oceanic Canal,

The Colombia government is anxious
to know what the United States pur-
poses to do about the Panama canal
treaty. 1t is evident that the long
haired statesmen of that country are
putting themselves into a position to
dicker with Uncle Sam; but the
chances are that they will be doomed
to disappointment. The Spooner law
authorized the President, in the event
of failure to conclude satisfactory
treaty with Colombia, to construct the
canal by the Nicaraguan route but did
not specify the time at which the work
should be undertaken. 1t is quite
probable, therefore, that President
Roosevelt will be in no haste to move
in the matter. The Nicaraguan route
has some powerful friends in Con-
gress who will urge it's immediate
adoption. Meanwhile the Darian
route is beginning to attract greater
attention. This route could be con-
structcd throughout it's entire length at
tide level and would have the advan-
tage of excellent harbors. The great
engineering problem it presents, is the
necessity of constructing a tunnel five
miles in length about midway of the
course. Formerly this obstacle was
thought to be insuperable; but compe-
tent engineers now say that it is not
only feasible; but that the great labor
and expense it would occasion, would
be more than offset by the compen-
sating advantages of other parts of the
route. Perhaps after all the rejection
of the Panama treaty by the Colombian
congress will prove, in the long run, to
have been blessing in disguise.
