God keeps school for his children
here on earth and one of the best
teachers is disappointment. Ny
friend. when you and i reach our
Fathers house, we shall look back
and see that the sharp-voiced, rough
visaged teacher, disappointment, was
one Of the best guides to train us for
1t. He gave us hard lessons: be often
used the rod; he often led us into
thorny paths: be sometimes stripped
off load of luxuries; but that only
made rs travel the freer and tastes our
heavenward way. He sometimes led
us down the valley of the death
shadow, but never did the promises
read SO sweetly as when spelled out
oy the eye Of faith in that very valley.
Nowhere did he lead US SO often, or
teach us such sacred lessons, as at the
cross Of Christ. Dear, old, tough
handed teacher. We will build a
monument to thee yet, and crown it
with garlands, and inScribe on it.:

pointment!"-Rey. Theodore L. Guy

The signing Of the new Panama
Canal treaty, negotiated by this gov
eminent with the representative of
the Republic of Panama, brings the
great project for an alkAmerican in
teroceanic water way nearer realiza-
tion than it has ever been before.
The document which was signed
on "Wednesday by Secretary Hay and
M. Bunau-Varill. gives this nation a
free band in the construction OF the
canal and in protecting il against any
contingency that may menace its use-
fulness. The treaty gives the United
States exclusive control of OF a ten
mile strip for the canal, instead Of a
six-mile strip as provided in the treaty
with Colombia. in return for which
this government is TO pay a bonus of
$40, 900. 900 down and 100000 year
after nine years. The United States
will maintain the neutrality Of the
canal zone, and in case the local adj
ministration of police and judicial af-
fairs at Panama and Colon are unSat-
Isfactory will assume the discharge of
governmental functions 10 these towns.
AS this means full American control
and operation of the canal upon much
better terms than were offered by Co.
lombia, and as the internationa Inter
ests of commerce, which have practi-
cally united in assigning to the United
States this project Of linking the
oceans. are now greater and more de-
sirous of a settlement than ever, there
is little probability that any further
distractions will be placed in the way.

What the Grsnsers Want.

The national grange of the Patrons

Ter, N. Y, and many things of grave
to the farmer are under
Bnt, aside from this, the
master Of the grange, Aaron Jones,
set forth in his annual address long
list of demands to be made on congress.
Some of these are important, and will
cause much discussion when taken up.
Mr.. Jones demands that free rural
mail delivery be placed on the same
footing as city delivery, that postal
savings banks be established, that the
construction of ship Cal al connect
ing the Mississippi rriver with the
great lakes and the Atlantic ocean be
promptly undertaken, and also few
other minor things OF less cost and
mportance.-Springfield, Mass, Re-

Governor Winfield S, Durbin OF In

whose names have been mentioned,
but they are such strong men in their
present Official positions that it would
be unwise to disturb either. The old.

ing their members, especially the SEN

Coarse Efforts to Be Funny.

An editor of publication at Del
phi, in an effort to make a coarse jest
on the subject of local wedding, ran
afoul Of the United States postal laws,
and as result thereof pleaded guilty
to a federal Indictment. The incident
calls attention to the fact that very
large class OF people throughout this
country carry the time-honored we'd
ding POPULARITY altogether too far, and
while they seldom go to indecent
lengths in their efforts to be funny, as
in the present instance, their "hum-
orous" attempts usually ssmack of a

Dispatches indicate that the Chinese
government is all at sea concerning
RusSia'S policy in Manchuria, and
does not know which way to turn for
nelp. In its impotence and fear it is
likely as not to turn to Japan, and il
would not be surprising if the two
powers should come together on a
basis Of opposition to Russia. A
curious feature Of the imbecility that
prevails in the Chinese government is
the fear Of the ManchuS that the loss
of Manchuria may mean the ending

it would, but it would seem hardly
possible that any new dynasty could
be worse than the present one.-In-

DESTROYING Respect for Law.

The Columbia City Post saws:
President Roosevelt is right in as
sorting that in the punishment Of
scoundrels, public sentiment must
back up the prosecutor, the judge and
the jury. Sickly sentiment and SYM
pathy for offenders must not inter-
rupt the enforcement of such punish
ment as the law prescribes. The law.
like death, is supposed to be no re-
Specter of persons. but when il comes
to enforcing the law, men are swayed
from their plain duty by many out
side influences. And that very thing
is doing more To destroy the respect
of people for the law and the men
who are expected to enforce it than
any other one agency. No wonder
crime fiourishes under such conditions.
No wonder it is found anon all class
es of men and in all grades of society"

Need of a Larger Merchant Marine.

What Secretary OF the Treasury
Shaw said in his speech at the annual
dinner of the New York Chamber of
commerce concerning the necessity
for restoring the American merchant
marine to its old-time place, when
it carried the bulk of our foreign com
merce, will meet with hearty ap-
proval n the West.
The secretary called attention to
the fact that our merchant marine is
sour only unprotected industry" An
act of Congress, approved by George
Washington, frequently assailed but
never repealed, gives the American
ship builder and American ship owner
a monopoly of our coastwise trade.
This policy has given us the most
efficient service and the cheapest coast
wise rates in the world.
He further called attention to the
fact that our vast railway systems,
the best in the world, have been built
up largely through government en-
enlargement. Our factories turn out
more manufactured product than any
two countries IN the world, our agrl
cultural produc, is far greater than
that Of any country on the globe and
our mineral output has passed the
billion-dollar line.
And yet we are carrying IN Ameri
can bottoms today only one third a.
much foreign commerce as we carried
forty years ago when our total foreign
trade was only one fourth of what il
Is now.
If there were no other conSidera-
tion involved than mere carrying OF
freight across the water perhaps oul
apparent Indifference to the building
up of merchant marine might be ex
cused. Unfortunately, however. the
weighty consideration of military and
naval protection for our commerce In
the event Of war between two or more
European powers is involved.
The sentiment Of the West is be-
yOnd all doubt favorable to a scheme
of government aid that will actually
build up our merchant marine. 1t is
not in favor Of a subsidy plan that
will merely rebound to the benefit OF
existing transportation companies
without opening up single new trade
route across the ocean or encouraging
the building OF single new ship.
AS the measures that have been
offered fail TO come up TO these re-
quirements they are not acceptable t.
the people. Record Herald.
