The members OF the Kentucky
legislature who have frittered away
nearly a month at the rate of about
$1,000 a day Juggling with the sim
pie task of deciding on new capitol
site, may know their business. but
they would have difficult time con-
yincing the people of it. Their pro-
longed session is a disgrace to the
Democratic majority which certain
ly could have settled the. question
long ago had IL so desired, Even
II there were nothing 10 suggest
graft in the capitol affair, there is
the most glaring proof OF ineompe-
tency in dealing with even the sim
plest public questions.

There was no revolution in Rus
STA, and from indications will be
none. A vast difference exists be-
tween a mob in city and an upris-

come when the people rise up and
overthrow the Russian government,
but they will have to be educated up
to the degree of intelligence essen
tial to. fun realization of their
wrongs before they do.

MAY TAKE TEN YEARS.
Report Of Engineer WaIIae. on Pan
ANA Canal Work.

Washington, Feb. 6.-In view of the
lack of public Information as to the
status of the work of ca
nal digging on the isthmus
and as to the exact amount of work
executed so far by the Americans since
they took up the task, the American
minister to Panama has, after consul
tation with Chief Engineer Wallace
and close personal inspection of the
route of the proposed canal, submit
ted to the State Department a report
upon this subject.
The communication is practically a
brief summary of the vast amount of
detail statistics and facts that will
eventually be produced by the canal
commission, showing the actual con-
struction on the canal accomplished
since July LIST last, when Mr.. Wallace
took charge of the engineering depart
ment. The most important statement
is this:
IF the next six months show prog
ress corresponding to that of the past
six it is the conviction of the best en-
gineers on the isthmus that a sea level
canal can be constructed in ten years
and be ready for large vessels by
January /, 1915"
The report declares that there Is no
ground for the current reports that lit
tie has been accomplished in advanc-
ing the construction of the canal dur
ing the last six or eight months.

The Russian Peasant.

The Rev. DR.. George Washburz1. who
lived in ConstantinopIe for feTty-six
years and has Just retired from the
presidency of Roberts College, has.
Travelled much in Russia and made
close study of the Russian peasant.
To the casual observer the moujfk is
uncouth and uninteresting. but he Is.
in DR.. Washburn's opinion. tho most
interesting peasant in all Europe. In
religion ne is an idealist. He has Ettle
knowledge of the scriptures. although
the Russian government favors their
circulation. but when he studies the
Bible the teaching of the brotherhood
of man is that which most appeals to
him. In many instances this ideal
teaching has been followed to what
would in this country be considered
absurd lengths.
The peasants believe most thor
oughly in their religion, and carry that
belief to the extreme that they con
slider the Russian orthodox church the
only true Christian faith. 1t Is argued
by them that the Christian religion
was first given to the Latin races. but
those races failed to extend 1t through
out the world. Then the Germanic
races received the mission, but they,
too, in Russian opinion. have failed.
Now, 1t is held, the time is ripe for the
Slayonic races to take up the work
and the true Slav confidently expects
that in order to carry out the mission.
It will be his duty to conquer all Esl-
rope.
