greener ponds and waters new. where
the rain has washed on the medicine

were not yet quite pure enough in spirit.
However, like themselves, when a good
thing was pointed out to them he trusted
they would have sense enough, in time, to
bring themselves up to the plane which
had been here attained.
The Glasgow Herald, commenting editori-
ally upon the Pan-American congress at
Rio de Janeiro, says:
THAT is a curious idea that seems to be
terminating in the minds of the members
Of the Pan-Amerlcan congress. 1t Is that
the American continent can, by an act or
acts Of the will, save itself forever from the
burden of ornaments under which Europe
staggers. 1t occurred in Mr. Roots speech
which led the congress. and now an emf
nent member of the congress, the Brazilian
ambassador to Washington, has, we are
told, expressed the true spirit of the gath
ering in a speech in which he urges that
the western continent should be made
vast area dedicated to peace. Thus. he
says, the new continent would offer to
European capital, emigration and creative
genius a much wider and safer field than it
would by forming disunited continent or
by adhering to any one of the belligerent
camps into which the old world Is contfnu-
ally diverted.

respect either the Monroe or the Drago
doctrine President Roosevelt has persuad-
ed his people to build up efficient fleet,
so that the United States may influence in
ternational policy. His idea and Mr.. Roots
are hard to reconcile. The case-hardened
rnilitarists of Europe will wonder what will
happen to the navy IL Mr.. Root succeeds
his chief as President, and they will begin
again to weave dreams of European
league whose sole object will be to detach
Great Britain from western Anglo-Saxon-
ism and wage unrelenting war on the con-
ceited Americans.

AMERICANS ARE
GUESTS in GLASGOW
Members of Institute of Mining
Engineers Welcomed to
Scotch City.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
GLASGOW, September 1.-Among the
other Americans, who have visited Glasgow
recently were the members Of the Ameri-
can Institute Of Mining Engineers who have
been touring Great Britain. They were the
guests of the West Of Scotland Iron and
Steel Institute and the Mining Institute of
Scotland. The lord provost, Mr.. William
Bilsland. delivered the principal address Of
welcome. The corporation and citizens OF
Glasgow, he said, always appreciated very
highly the privilege of welcoming those
who came to visit them. They welcomed
stitute to this country, well knowing that
they in Glasgow had much in common with
them, because they all realized that one
great faRtor in the development of Glasgow
and the Clyde had been the work of the
mining industry of Scotland. It must be a
special attraction to their friends to visit
Glasgow and the Clyde when they recalled
that the Clyde was the home of the steam
blast in Nelson's time and that today they
had with them Lord Kelvin, who had done
so much In the promotion of science, and
whom they rejoiced to know as chancellor
of the university.
Mr.. r. w. Hunt president of the Ameri-
can Institute of Mining Engineers, also ex-
pressed the hearty thanks of the visitors
took occasion to refer to the recent inter
municipal relations of Chicago and Glas-
gov. They in Chicago had not yet taken
the Glasgow experts advice about the way
to run their tramways, because he was
sorry to say that while he approved Of
