Railroading is governed by fairly well-es-
tablished rules and systems of administra-
ton. The canal, despite all that has pre-
coded in the way of engineering works on a
vast scale, is more or less of new prob
lem. The distance from base, the climatic
difficulties. the labor question, these factors
and others will call for the exercise of the
broadcast possible executive capacity and
for the most interchangeable energy.
1t is clear from the letters of Secretary
Taft and the President that there will pro-
coed from this time new scheme Of or
ganfzation in the subdivision of the work
Broadly stated, it is the purpose of the gov
eminent as expressed in these letters, to
secure from the engineers in charge a choice
between the sea level and the lock canal
projects. While they are gathering data
for this decision the preparatory work can
be pressed, probably as rapidly as though
the commissioners were finally and irrevoc-
ably bound to a distinct course in this
respect. Much is to be done in the way of
sanitation and the establishment of a salts

William M. Stewart.

The attention of DR.. Osler is respectfully
called to the case of ex-senator Stewart of
Nevada. Mr.. Stewart was a figure On our
national affairs nearly forty years ago. and
has ever since been a man of activity and
influence. He has had to do with a good
deal of important legislation, has prospered
in the business world, and had his ups and
downs with the rest of US. He retired from
politics last month of his own accord, and
is returning to Nevada now to reopen his
law Office and continue to grow up with the
country. This, for a man of seventy-eight.
seems to be in defiance of the Oslerian
theory. Evidently, as Mr.. Stewart sees
matters there is still place for him In the
workaday world, and evidently he feels
young enough to undertake to fill 1t. 1t is
probable that he is right, and 1t is likely
that he will succeed in his new undertake
ing. He has gone through the hardening
processes of the pioneer life, and ap-
proaches the eighty-year mark with the
color of boy and a stalwart frame unbent
He may change his mind about politics
after making another fortune, and return
to the Senate.

Hans Christian Andersen.

Childhood takes little account of racial
and political lines. If a man writes the
kind of stories that all children can under
stand he is welcomed, whether he Is French
or Italian, English or American Russian
or Greek, provided the tale comes to the
reader intelligently translated. The story's
the thing So ii has been of slight interest
to the little people of several generations
that their favorite fairy stories were the
product of Danish pen. Hans Christian
Andersens name was to them merely the
sign that the stories were good and were
always to be read when found. When they
grew to manhood, perhaps, they read about
the man himself, and relshed their knowl-
edge of his life the more because of their
youthful delight In his works.
Andersen was born in odense, Denmark,
April 2, 1906, and throughout the world the
centenary of his birth is being celebrated.
Wherever the fact IS known it is under
stood by children of greater or lesser growth
as an event of Importance. For Andersen's
tales, translated, have reached probably to
all parts Of the civilized world.
Danes are inclined to resent the promi-
hence given to Andersen's name by COM
mentators on the literature OF their coun-
try. They regard him as the producer of
a light form OF letters, and insist that

Unsigned Money.

A clear illustration of how much we
take things for granted in the course Of
our daily lives Is afforded by the report
that some unknown person Is now engaged
in circulating in western Pennsylv ania and
northern Maryland a quantity of United
States bank notes which are absolutely
worthless. lacking the official signatures
that make them legal tender. About d
month ago a mail car on the Baltimore and
Ohio road was burned in a wreck. With
other contents was a package containing
federal bank notes to the total value of
$4,000, unsigned in transit from WASH
ingtOn. 1t was thought that they had been
destroyed but lately reports have been re-
ceived that unsigned notes were in circula-
ton. slightly burned on the edges. In the
region named. and 1t is believed that some
body found the package and proceeded to
use the contents, perhaps without knowing
that the supposed money was not worth
dollar in trade. The people who have ac-
cepted the notes have invariably been sur
prised to find that they were worthless.
They had not looked at them to see IL they
were signed or not. They knew that the
bills lelt right and that was enough.
1t is probably only the hundredth man
who ever looks at bit of paper money TO

the slightest shade of suspicion passes. He
assumes that the bills are all right, yet
he may be r,sking hundreds of dollars in
so trusting to chance. This is doubtless
the effect of the governments excellent
secret service system, which so closely fol-
lows up every clue to the activities Of coun-
terfeiters. The public places its trust in the
federal agencies and runs its risk unrhink-
ingly. The banks are virtually the only
places where especial care is exercised to
make sure of the genuineness OF notes. and
even there, with the handlers OF money
trained to the point OF EXPERIENCES, mistakes
are often made. If business man sus-
pected every note that comes to his hand he
would be kept hard at work with micro
scope most of the time

their national boundaries. save to the stu
dents of literature. Andersen's work was
greater than theirs simply because 1t APP
pealed to the minds of all peoples. He dealt
in elemental factors He wrote stories that
reached the hearts of the young.
Andersen's tales are peopled with charac-
tiers whom every child understands. The
little moral lessons they teach are ever
lasting in their influence upon the young
mind. They cannot be forgotten. The lit
tie lead soldier, standing erect In his paper
boat. to be swept into a sewer and swal-
lowed by fish, is a type of fidelity ever
lasting in its significance. A flood of MEM
cries rushes upon the adult mind when this
long closed gate of recollection Is opened.
The mere mention of Andersen's name re-
calls pictures of the past, Of the swan girl,
the frog prince, the princess whose sleep
was disturbed by a rose leaf, the automatic
nightingale. Life was the sweeter In the
days gone by for these stories. for In every
one of them runs tender quality of beauty
and truth and uprightness, and the giamor
of the romantic and the supernatural is cast
about them SO artistically that the little
reader scarcely knows where the possibili-
ties cease and the impossibilities begin, or
which is narrative and which allegory.

Rejoicing.

No wonder that the birds come forth and
twitter in the tree,
No wonder that the vernal earth seems
happy as can be.
We've all survived a crucial test and this
old world once more
Can, for year at least, go on as it has
gone before.
The brooklet seems to sing it as 1t ripples
on its way
All fearless of the frost that held It fast
the other day;
A note Of calm security sounds out in the
refrain.
1.-THE First of ApriIs over, and the coun-
try's safe again."
1t is holiday that's mostly treated with
neglect,
For folly seldom claims a thought, save one
of disrespect,
But If sometime the public veal should call
us to appear
And show that unto wisdom each can read
his title clear.
A lot of us would tremble and some things
would go to smash,
Like the idol in the joss house that has
fallen with a crash.
So let us all remember when we're tempted
to complain,
The First of Arpirs over and the country's
safe again.

Back to the People"

Mr. BRYAN is an exceedingly clever hand
at phrase-making This he demonstrated
In Nebraska when he first took up his
residence there The exercise of the gift
secured him his first office. People re-
sponded to the generalites which he clothed
In such sounding form. Later he obtained
a hearing in Congress by the same means.
He talked tariff and finance in terms that
tickled the ear If thy did no more. AL
Chicago in 1896 he carried all before MIN
by one figure of speech. and since then his
oratorical way has been strewn with catchy
evidences of his faculty. 1t has been dull
day, or very uninspirng crowd, that dlo
not move him to coin some word or sem
tence which his followers could take home
for comfort and encouragement.
Back to the people, is Mr.. Bryan's
latest, and. for his purposes, very happy
phrase. He was addressing an Iowa audi
ence, and one composed of men who have
been following him for nine years. They
are with him, Notwithstanding his two de-
feats, on the silver question. They accept
his views on the tariff, and they would be
glad to see his recommendations as to the
railroads adopted. The section of country
Is agricultural, and contests there have
been waged on the proposition that a very
It" iith, ilNIHS VI DuSlNtSS Hcdu-
quarters in the east, have gathered into
their hands the reins of public affairs and
been driving for their own benefit.
Back to the people," as Mr.. Bryan en-
ploys the adjuration, is calculated to arrest
the attention of a good many people and
start them afresh on courses of experiment.
1t suggests a paraphrase of a confession
in the book of common prayer. Mr.. Bryan
tells us that We have erred and strayed
from the true way, like lost sheep. We
must retrace our steps or we are lost. We
must depose our self-arpointed masters and
take affairs again into our own hands.
This sounds well, and there is a basis for
the complaint. Undoubtedly in some things
the few have been profiting at he expense
OF the many. The tariff needs revision and
the railroads need curb. Those Two propo-
sitons are now so plain that party lines can
not be drawn on them. Democra s and re-
publicans are to be found on either side
We are approaching a period of warm de-
bate and new party alignments. But in this
very fact Is danger. Unless we are careful
the rhetoricians will carry us too far and
our last condition will become worse than
our first.

Tomorrow in Chicago.

The city campaign in Chicago which is
closing today has attracted national atten-
ton because of the issue involved. NUM-
clpal ownership and operation of the street
railways Is pretty big question even for
that Dig town, and the town has been
stirred by 1t to it's depths. large vote
Is expected, and large wagers have been
laid on the result.
National attention has been attracted by
the contention in some quarters that we
have here in miniature the question of ma
tional ownership of railroads. If Chicago
decides that she can afford to buy and
control the transportation service within
her borders, now in private hands, why may
not the country decide that it can afford to
buy and control the transportation rail
service within it's borders? Both services
are under the same impeachment by those
who advocate public ownership-that of ra-
pacity on the part of the private owners
and Indifference to the public welfare.
While both the republican party and the
democratic party have declared for public
ownership in this Chicago contest, the dec
aration of the democracy is regarded as the
more direct. The republican program would
consummate the end by easy stages. The
democratic program is without single If,
but or and 1t sounds like Grants notice to
Buckner at Fort Donelson: 81 purpose
moving on your works Immediately" If,
therefore, the democracy wins tomorrow
the people of Chicago will be face to face
with the proposition they have for some
weeks now been so earnestly and even
excitedly discussing.
The candidates for mayor are both able
and excellent men. Mr.. Harlan, who is
leading the republicans. is the son and
namesake of Mr.. Justice Harlan of the
United States Supreme Court, and inherits
the talents which made his father a notable
leader and speaker in Kentucky politics
thirty-odd years ago. The chip is said to
suggest the old block at his best. Judge
Dunno, who IS leading the democrats. is
likewise an attractive and aggressive man,
and possesses a wide personal popularity.
He left the bench to accept the nomination,
and If his followers are at all superstitious
they are probably a little concerned In
secret as to whether the hoodoo that fol-
lowed Judge Parker and Judge Herrick
last year Is now following him. Success on
mis- platform might if shrewdly developed
make him a national figure and factor
in the next presidential equation.
