NEWPORT

Whether MT. Roosevelt used his power with equal fairness to both nations in the recent peace negotiations or whether he had determined to bring about a peaceful solution of the question under consideration and worked to that end without prejudice, not calculating the result, is a matter that must be settled by future events. The New York Globe says:
 What was 1t that gave pressure to the presidents mediation, without which all his skill and insistence would have availed nothing? It was the repute in which America is held as a power devoted to peace, not only by sentiment, but by enlightened self-interest. Mankind hailed our nation as the only one which could approach the task of bring ing the belligerents together without mourning suspicion. Back of President Roosevelt was the repute of America, non-ag- gressive, devoted to peaceful ln- dustry plus manliness, an advo- cate of the square deal" a pro- moter of world serenity by her notion that the Golden Rule has applicability to international af- fairs.
 Large as is the compliment to President Roosevelt, an even greater one has been paid to the nation. Never before in history have the nations united in testi- mony so unanimous to the good faith of one of their number. The moral stature of every Amer ican has been increased and the country elevated to more serene heights of true national glory. Incidentally, like r ists before the sun, have been dissipated the fears born of the melancholy as- sumption that if the United States attained the rank of a world-power she would necessa- rily abuse the new responsibility.

President ROOSeVeIt'S Triumph

The glowing tributes that the
London papers accord President
Roosevelt's peace efforts are well
deserved. 1t is indeed high
praise when the Morning Post
characterizes it as both a personal

es that no other man would have
ventured to even attempt what
President Roosevelt has achieved.
Continuing the paper says: "No
President, since Lincoln, has so
impressed himself on the attention

is the last man in the world to al
low himself to be made a fool of.
and any affront put upon him by

wanton and inexplicable foolish

THE FUTURE OF NIAGARA.

The earliest discussions of the re-
cessiOn of Niagara Falls led to apprc-
tension of danger and disaster. be
ca11Se the continuance cf the present
1oH2e erosion must eventually eX-
tend to Lake Erie, the resrvoir
whence the river flows 1t was thought
therefore. in the excited imagination
q many ignorant readers. when the
carly geologic discussions of the
history of Niagara were published
that destructive hocl would thus
Be let loose from Erie and the upper
lakes, and would deluge The Ontario
Basin and the st. Lawrence Valley.
Prot. James Hall, in 1S43, cndeavor-
g TO allay these fears. The increas-
;n2 sOuthward dip of therock strata
between the present falls and Lake
Erie will cause the Niagara TO cut
into softer and easily eroded beds
along that distance. so that its great
cataract, which depends ON the thick
tntt nafd Niagara limestone OVCrlaN
ing soft shale. can nc longer be main
Jained. The river will then run. as
Hall declared, in series of rapids
along its course from Lake Eric To
Lewiston. with perhaps a low fall at
the outlet Of the lake. writes Warren
Cpham in the International Quarterly.
Another anxiety has been raised
more recently by computations of a
probable fitting of the land. which
would slightly change its inclination
cn all the region of these Great Lakes
so that ultimately the mouth of
Lake Erie would be lifted higher than
the very low water divide close to
The southwest Of Chicago. From COM
