TO MAKE A HOLIDAY.

Fifty-nine dead and S,169 wounded
is the price paid for an American holi-
day. Figures like these, representing
the sacrifice of life to make Roman
holiday, would make a chapter Of nor
ror in ancient history. How much
better, how much more humane, how
much more excusable is this sacrifice
of life, made in this twentieth century
among an enlightened, self -governing
and responsible people? The casual
ties of a great battle are often not
more than those incident to the cele-
bration of the nations birthday. 1t
has come to be the custom to collect
and present these concrete facts fol-
lowing each return of the Fourth, and
the publication of them, it is to be
hoped, may in the end result in saner
methods and more reasonable forms
of expression of patriotism. OF course
these figures given are not as terrible
as they are likely to be. Fifty-nine
fatalities have resulted already. A
week or ten days hence, when all the
serious consequences have been real
lzed' the number may be doubled.

NOTICE 70 ADVERTISERS:
IS THE CANAL HOODOOED?

Is there a mysterious plot to prevent
the construction Of the Panama canal?
The country is periodically treated to
a sensational statement that there is,
and periodically lives it down. only ~
find it bobbing up again.
I'D. Yeomans, a former member OF
the interstate commerce commission
we'll known in Walla Walla, is the
author of the latest scare. In a nigh
iy sensational interview, he AYERS that
there is no intention of building a ca
nal at Panama; that the route is not
feasible. while the Nicaragua route
was. and that, therefore, the Panama
route was substituted by the consplr-
acy against any canal. Mr.. Yeomans'
ideas may be colored by the fact that
he was moved from the interstate
commission" and that he wos one or
syndicate which made a proposition
to construct the Nicaragua canal.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Yeomans must be
looked upon as a responsible individu-
al and we must assume that he be-
lieves, to some extent at least, in what
he says.
The evidence of a conspiracy to put
the government in a hole, to make it
spend untold millions in an effort to
construct a canal where no canal can
ever be constructed, is not conclusive.
Eminent engineers nase testified that
q canal can be made over either route,
it being only question of time and
money. Unless we are to assume that
all the engineers wha have been over
the route are fools or attached to the
conspiracy" we must believe that
the Panama route is practicable. Ger
tainly the French engineers thought
30 and they also must, years ago. have
been either mistaken or corrupted by
the alleged conspiracy. Is it possible
that an influence, international in
character, has laid a paralyzing hand
upon this project and held it there
Ior years and never been unna sked ?
1t does not seem probable R,,t il
1s possible, and the very DOS sibilitv
makes 1t worth while to have ,rr voo-
mans warning. If it doas rotbi,
e'se' II VIII add zest to the hunt for
the canal hoodoo.

DIR. MOORE HONORED.

DR.. George T. Moore of the agricul-
tural department at Washington, the
man who found out how to destroy
algae in freshwater lakes, but is more
celebrated for the incubation of the
soil with bacteria for the production
Of leguminous plants, has been hon
ored by degrees and titles from several
institutions. There being nothing of
that kind which it could add in addi-
ton to the honors already conferred,
his alma mater, Wabash College, at
Charlottesville, Ind, presented to DR..
Moore on her last commencement day
a handsome gold medal testifying to
his distinguished achievements in
practical science. DR.. Moore is still
a young man, probably not IS years
of age, a graduate of Wabash college
in 1894, where ne laid the foundation
for that success in botanical science
which has given him high place
among scientific men. DR.. Moore has
claim upon the respect and >consid-
Grafton of the public aside from his
attachments as a scholar in that he
has placed his discoveries at the SER
vice of the public through the agri-
cultural department without any mon
ey remuneration, although he might
undoubtedly have realized an immense
achieved prominence and great sue
cess early, he has the enthusiasm of
the specialist and the advantage of
youth to promise still greater things
than he has already achieved.

Notoriety and Matrimony.


Women have been scolded without
stint for making heroes out Of crimi-
nails of the opposite sex. visiting them
In prison and bombarding their cells
with flowers and delicacies. But 1t
seems that men are equally sentimen-
tai and morbid worshipers Of mere no.
toriety. The chorus girl who narrowly
escaped conviction for murder was
flooded with offers Of marriage.
No doubt many Of the men who offer
ed to marry Nan Patterson meant to
indicate their faith In her innocence
and took that method Of expressing
sympathy for q person in distress. No
consideration is taken Of the question
whether the woman in these cases is
fit for matrimony. Doubtless Mrs.
Chadwick would have been "vindicat-
ed'' in the same way were she SIN
gle woman. Under the circumstances
it is not to be wondered at that the
proportion Of matrimonial casualties is
high in this country.

TWO FAMOUS COUNTERFEITERs

The president has let out of prison
brace of the most dangerous coun-
terfeiters the country has ever known,
holding that their twelve years SEN
tence was excessive. Perhaps it was,
but the crime of counterfeiting is
such a mean one, and so hard to trace.
that when a first-class maker of
spurious notes is convicted a round
dozen years of privacy seems to be
strictly in the interest of the public.
These men, Jacobs and Kendig,

"a thing unprecedented in the history

They put out a $40 silver certificate
which obtained such general circula-
ton in the east as to demoralize busi-
ness. 1t was this certificate which
finally caused their downfall, but only
after the secret service bureau had
worked nearly year on the case, and
spent money like water to obtain evil
dence. Clemency to such a precious

on the domain Of generosity. But the

VINDICATION OF THE SMALL
COLLEGE.

Princeton's new plan Of instruction
which will be put in effect this fall will
make great change in the workings
of the college. The students, instead
of hearing lectures in large classes
and submitting oral or written evil
dence of their attention at stated
periods, will report to preceptors, of
whom there will be more than fifty
added to the faculty.
Individuals or groups will hold con-
ferences with these instructors AMI
will be examined by them frequently.
Where groups are formed they will
be made up Of men who are capable
of about the same amount and grade
of work. What the professors will do
after the preceptors have absorbed
the teaching. duties is not clear, but
doubtless they will be worked into the
new system and their talents will not
be lost nor their salaries be compli-
mentary
In the selection of the preceptors
President Wilson is paying especial
attention to the personal qualifica-
tons Of the candidates for appoint
ment. He is determined to have gen.
tlemen and compa nionable men and
where these qualities come in conflict
with mere scholarship the former will
be given the preference. The per-
sonal influence of the preceptors is
bound to be great and the president
of Princeton recognizes that it must
be good influence or more harm
than good will be done by a course at
the college.
The Princeton plan involves, then,
merely the making over of the univer-
sity into a large number of small col
leges Each group will be in effect a
small college with it's head who will
be the intellectual and the moral
| leader of his group or college.
The aim of the new system is ex-
pressed in the hope Of President VIII
son that under it princeton shall
turn out body of men possessing such
J sound learning. such high develop.
