Ny first thought was to marvel at
his size. for he was considerably above
six feet in height and finely proper

A Pessimist on Panama.

Although his views upon the main
question OF the ends to be served by
the construction Of the Panama Canal
are somewhat limited in scope, Mr..
HAROLD BoLcE, in the September num-
Der Of the Booklorer's Magazine, submits
some very sound and vigorous opinions
on the question Of our general foreign
trade. The view presented is quite the
same as that to which we have frequently
called attention as the weakest point in
our national commercial strategy. 1t is
that trade extension is infinitely less
dependent on the creation Of new and
special trade facilities than it is generally
supposed to be. Mr.. BoLcE's argument,
like our own, is that our export COM
merce consists mainly Of the sale Of
merchandise which other countries want
and for which they come to US, and that
the limitation Of our export sales is due
to the. fact that our people do not yet
need foreign markets enough to excite
them to active and aggressive trade
seeking.
A weak spoint, in Mr.. BoLcE's article.

PUBLIC SIGNS OF MOURNING
Sc Common in washington That They
Lose All Meaning.
From the Washington Post

The trappnRs OF public wo exhibited in
the National Capita! have become some-

an ex-Cablnet officer died. the Department
TO which he belonged was draped with black

this and passed law preventing the drapinc

q Department upon the announcement of the
death Of an ex-Cabinet officer. and also upon
the day OF the funeral There has been
reform In this particular, and the Depart
ment now closes only upon the day OF the
funeral Of a man who died while In office.
But It has not prevented the exhibition OF
public mourning in a most ostentations man
ner. The desk and chair of the late Sec;
rotary Of State we're draped for a month and
had a most mournful appearance, Secretary
Root when he came here to be sworn in,
could not occupy the office of the Secretary
Of State because the trappinRs OF wo for the
late Secretary Hay made the Secretary'

have approved Of any such display. +.

the city government, have been at half-mas'

There Is nothing Of the political
trickster about the Hon. CHARLES WAR

support under false pretenses. On every
public question he takes his stand firmly
and in the full light Of day. On tho tre-
mendous issue Should Authority Be
Respected?' he speaks no faltering
words. Respect authority Ia his In
junction, and he adds:
"Thoss words should vtns nom one end Of thu
country to the otheri ="
They do. Is religious freedom desir-
able? Mr.. FAIRBANKS does not minoe
his words when he answers:
THAT nag. born OF the blood of heroes, stands
for the night OF every American citizen 70 worship
GOD in the way his conscience dictates.
On these great political questions the
Hon. CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS
knows no doubt. Unhesitatingly and

declarations may have upon his future,
he Endorses respect for authority and
commits himself to religious freedom.
