KITTREDGE may get the senate to
endorse the "sea level" canal, but the
house has already gone On record as
opposed to it, and that by a large
majority. 1t would take ten Or fif-
teen years more time to complete Kilt
redge's style of canal, besides doub-
ling the cost. Some of the best civil
engineers wen go so far Is to say
that a sea level canal would be a fail
ure, that the banks could not stand
the wash occasioned by the great ships
and the floods from the tropical riv-
.ers that would find their way into it,
The more the matter is discussed and
the more information given to the
public, the more it looks as if Kilt
redge knew next to nothing about the
canal business. But the tr%anscontin-
entail railroads would be satisfied with
the sea level type of canal, especially
if it should prove too expensive to
complete, or useless after it shall be
completed.

THERE is much talk just now about
Bryan being the next democratic
nominee for the presidency. He prob

WHICH TELLS THE TRUTH2

The Argus-L Leader, although pre-
tending to support the platform adopt
ed by the republican state convention
can lever let an opportunity go by
to take a slap at the primary system,
one of the planks of that platform.
1t says:
"The republicans of Minnesota re.
fused to recommend the extension of
the primary 10 state offices, and the
people of Wisconsin are beginning to
suspect that they would have done
wisely to have gone more slowly"
But note the difference, Following
is a statement by the Minneapolis
Tribune, a paper that never was an
advocate of the system:
1t is a mistake to say that the Du-
luth convention did not indorse state
primary law for all elections. Almost
every act of the convention was a
practical Endorsement of it.
Nearly every county convention in
dorsed the principle of the state pri-
mary. Every caucus held before the
county conventions was called and
managed in accordance with this prin.
ciple. The Republican state central
committee Endorsed it in calling the
convention. Every county committee
conformed to it in calling caucuses
and county conventions. The state
primary law stands Endorsed all along
the line.

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon by Rev. H.. Preston
We ordinarily think of evolution as
the beautiful process by which crea-
ton becomes more perfect and man
hood struggles up toward coronation
But the fact is that evolution has
also a downward aspect.
Deadly nightshade has its normal
maturity as truly as has the rose. II
is just as characteristic for evil to de-
velop as for good.
Moral disintegration is a process.
The first parleying with conscience,
the first indulgence of a wanton spirit,
holds the logic of the end. There is
nothing more pitiful in human life
than mems confidence that they can
stop SHINING when they get ready.
1t is not simply that the dishonest
man lays himssaopen to fresh temp
tation of dishonesty, though that
were bad enough, but that by his sur
render to dishonesty he opens the
door to every form of sin.
1t is part of the tragedy of sin that
the delinquent rarely sees his peril.
Evil always plays Delilah. Her car
resses are sweetest when the Philis-
tines are most ia
II is in the very nature Of evil to
blind the t~ransgressor's eyes. No

The Brookipgs Press is irving /,

The Brookings Press is trying to
create the impression that an attempt
will be made by the insurgent repub-
licans to defeat Gamble for the SEN
ate and elect Crawford in his place.
There is absolutely no reason for such
a statement. The faction in control
Of the convention at Sioux Falls en-
dorsed Gamble by a solid vote and
the republicans in the next Legislature
are bound in all honor to vote for
Gamble and thus carry out the will
of the people as expressed in the con-
vention by a vote of two to one.
