Supplies for the Canal Construction

Some editors in both parties have
endeavored to work up excitement over
the proposal to buy supplies for the
building of the Panama canal wherever
they could be bought the cheapest. The
party leaders and the general public
however, have refused to get excited
or to see in the suggestion any attack
upon the tariff system. Even the New
York Post. a free trade organ. is soon
been distorted and that the situation is
not so cheerful for its cause as ii
hoped. This is the way it's Washing
ton correspondent discusses the mat
ter.
by the time Congress assemblies the
mountain made out of the proposal to
buy Panama Canal supplies at world
market rates will have shrunk back
into mole-hill size. The whole episode
shows that nothing is news until the
psychological moment when the public
is ready to consider it as such. Con-
gresham McNary of Massachusetts
introduced n resolution last winter OF
inquiry into the alleged purchase
abroad of supplies for the canal. but
little attention was paid to it. Pacific
coast contractors have been very res
tive under the theory that the Govern
ment wanted real returns for its money
in this canal undertaking. The subject
was discussed somewhat when the
canal construction bill was passed
That was the time for the stand pat
ters to have made their protest. The
liberal terms under which the builders
were allowed to proceed. both in the
employment of capital and labor. JcTe
then commented on in these dispatches
But the public was not ready to be-
come excited about it.
Most of the supplies in any event
must be bought in the United States
Most of them can be produced cheaper
here than elsewhere, especially ma
chimes and implements and other arti-
Giles made of iron and of steel. The
canal will be great purchaser of the
sort of goods of which the United
States is natural exporter. Our geo.
graphical position will prove an infiu-
ence in this direction. as will the IA
miliarity of American engineers and
overseers with articles Of American
use and manufacture. BY the time
Congress meets it will be apparent that
most of the things are coming from the
United States. so that their production

Last Sunday. The Presbyterian
churches throughout this country and
Great Britain comm ,morated the 4OOth
anniversary OF the birth Of John Knox.
To be sure. the exact date Of the birth
of this great Scottish reformer is not
definitely known. though it is certain
that il occurred during the spring or
summer of 1905. The anniversary was
well worth celebrating. for Knox was
a powerful influence in the religious
history of the modern world, and that
the foundation laid by him and his as
sOciates I'm a time when mtE fought for
their religious beliefs has proved sub
stantial one is shown. today, by the
great numbers who traC" their faith to
the preachings and example of this
fearless SCotchman.

The celebration OF May Goth as indie
pendence day by the young republic of
Cuba is not at ali felicitOus from an
American point of view. OF course the
celebration is in honor of Cuba's indie
pcndence of Spain. but 1t falls upon the
ami, ersary of the day when the last
of the United States troops were with
drawn from the island. and when the
present Cuban government was form
ally established. Therefore, strictly
speaking, It celebrates Cuba's indepen-
Lence of the United States rather thar
Cuba's =. independence Of Spain. Ii
seems firmly established as the great
national holiday Of the island. though
II is not in the least probable that the
Cubans intend the slightest reflection
upon the period of American Occupa-
ton. or would have us think that when
they celebrate their Independence day
they celebrate the departure of the
American troops.

The Early Fly.

The early fly has just arrived.
But no one seems to welcome him.
The disposition seems to be,
Instead, to tear him limb from limb.
He buZzes cheerfully around,
As sOciable as he can be,
But no che greets him with smile,
Or shows the slightest sign of slee.
The early fly must think our hearts
Are very hard and cold indeed,
His own heart. if he's sensitive
At all. at times must really bleed.
To think that he's been gone SO long,
And no one glad to see him back;
To find whene'er he comes around,
His only greeting is whack,

The Author Of "A Fools Errand."

The death of Judge Albion w. Tour
gee at Bordeaux. France, where he was
serving as American consul. removes
unique and versatile figure from the
number of American authors. Al
though Judge Tourgee. as he was COM
monty known. attained distinction as a
soldier. editor, political writer. lee
turer and as a professor of law. it was
as a writer of novels that he obtained
the most fame, and especially as the
author of "A Fools Errand." 1t is
claimed for this book that more copies
have been sold than of any other
American book ever published, with
the exception OF Uncle Toms Cabin
and Ben Hur."
In a way, it was sequel to Uncle
Toms Cabin" inasmuch as it was a
picture of the South during the years
Immediately following the Civil War,

Judge Tourgee's novel, like Mrs.
Stoves, made a great cutlery in the
South, and aroused intense feeling in
the North against "Ku Klux" methods.
With the passing of years it has be-
come generally recognized that he gave
very accurate account of the condi-
tons in the South during the recon-
struction Period. This book was pub
lished in 1879, and was the first to
bring the author literary fame, al
though he had earlier published sever
al novels. 1t definitely committed him
| to a literary career, and in the score of
years that followed he wrote over 4
dozen novels. many of them possessing
much merit, but none winning such
popularity. or having such Il wide in
fuence as "A FOOLS Errand.'
Judge Tourgee was bonn in Ohio. in
| 1S3S, of Husuenot descent. and gradu-
ated from Rochester University in 1862.
He ut once entered the Union army and
| served gallantly through the war, suf-
fering several wounds and spending six
months in Libby prison. His death. in
fact, was directly due to wound re-
ceived i'm the war. He wrote much
upon legal and political matters. was
a judge in North Carolina for several
years and later a professor at the Buff
falo law school. He had edited New
York magazine and been much upon
the lecture platform. Among his
novels were Bricks Without Straw,
| Figs and Thistles," "A Real Gentle
man." "Pactolus Prime" "An Appeal to
Caesar" THE Invisible Empire and
many others. Better than most of his
novels was 1.-THE Story of Thousand"
a narrative of the fortunes of a regi-
ment in the Civil War. All his books
were simple. sincere and wholesome,
and of the number. it is certain that
"A Fools Errand.'' will find perma-
nent place in American literature.

IRVINE GOES
INTO COURT
FILES SUIT AGAINST BISHOP TAL-
BOT ASKING FOR
DAMAGES.

Philadelphia, Jan. 18.-The contro.
versy between Rt. Rev. Ethelbert Tai.
bot, bishop of the Protestant Episco-
pal diocese of central Pennsylvania,
and Rev. /. N. w. Irvine, has taken a
new turn and 1t is probable that the
whole affair will be aired in the civil
courts. DR.. Irvine filed notice Of a
suit for slander, asking damages. The
papers were at once served on the
bishop.
DR.. Irvine's action was the result Of
a suggestion made by Rev. DR.. John
Fulton, editor of the Church Standard,
this city, in a letter to Rev. Daniel /.
Odell Of this city during the early
stages Of the controversy. In that
letter DR.. Fulton made the suggestion
that If Bishop Talbot had made state
ments concerning Dr.. Irvine which
were not true he had redress in the
courts. Yesterday DR.. Irvine held a
consultation with an attorney and
later filed the notice Of the suit. The
papers were filed with the clerk of
the sheriff's Office and placed in the
hands of a process server, who went
in search of Bishop Talbot, and served
the notice upon him. &
