Hostesses OF Newport and Lenox are
beginning 10 fear that unless some IN

a program Of novel entertainments they
VIII be reduced TO the narrow confines
OF dinner giving In order to entertain
their guests. All sorts Of things have
been suggested and many Of them tried
by way Of enlivening the season, but 50
far they have been insufficient TO pat

II this continues il will mean the clos

Central America.

There IS some evidence that the
evolution Of a new nation is in its
initial stages down in Central amer
lea. The five turbulent little re-
puhlics of that isthmian region con
tain in the aggregate a considerable
population, some developed, and an
immense potential wealth. Appar-
emily they need only a new Diaz,
strong, determined, capable. intelIi-
gent. to weld them into a union
worthy of place not so very far in
the rear OF the wonderful new
Mexico.
II would be folly to assume that
the man of the hour can Yet be
selected, or that the hour has yet
struck. The man may yet be nm
born, the hour may belong 10 an
other generation. But certain it
is that Jose Santos Zelaya. Presi-
dent of Nicaragua, believes that the
time has come and that he is the
man. From the Nicaraguan lega-
tion IN this city is being distribut-
ed widely a little pamphlet of
twenty printed pages, telling the
story of Zelaya, Of his country. and
of his ambitions for it, Coming at
the time when a real war is just
nearing its end through TAe inter
vention of the Washington Govern
ment, and suggesting in ssac and
reasouable words the notion of con
solidation of these five little aEtions
into a new United States of Central
America, the pamphlet is not II be
passed by as d mere sch"ml in eN-
pioitation. 1t is worthy of consid-
Grafton, at least.
Zelaya is the strong man Of Cen
tral America today. He is wealthy,
and he has placed the bonds of his
country above par in world markets.
lie has subdued savages, establish
ed order, given real constitutional
government, changed a deficit to a
surplus Zelaya has been both the
Bolivar and the Diaz of his little
country; the libeTatOT and the or
ganizer. He has aspirations worthy
OF success. Whether he wants now
10 use Nicaragua as a base of oper-
ations from which 20 subdue the
neighboring states, or whether he
sincerely wishes for the common
good to promote a union of the
group Of insignificant states, il is
700 early TO Judge. That the union
if properly effected would be desir-
able, and that il has been brought
nearer by the war now in progress,
is hardly 10 be questioned. Like
wise, that President Zelaya is a
szillful and judicious Advertiser is
apparent from the tirae':ness and
cloquence of the little testimonial
TO himself which his diplomatic
agent has issued.

Steady, Gentlemen /!

The gentlemen of the Interstate
Commerce Commission should have
seen enough evidence of the friend
ship of this newspaper TO under
stand the spirit in which a word of
admonition is respectfully rendered.
That admoniticn is mainly to hold
steady, and not go of your feet"
4 few don'ts might be added, how
ever:
Don't get excited.
Don't let yourself be -'bluffed."
Don't imagine the job is too big
to handle
Don't undertake to do everything
at once.
Don't believe everything anybody
tells you.
Don't reject everything anybody
suggests to You.
Don't forget that traffic managers
can translate the Greek in which
they love TO talk, into plain English.
Don't take any stock in disserta-
tions on scientific rate making" q"
There isn't any such thing in this
country.
Don't forget that real publicity
and lots of il viii do more good
than any other remedy YOU have in
your hands.
Don't worry about the cost of
publishing rates, tariffs, ct cetera.
The railroads will pay it. not you.
and they have got used TO spending
money for printed matter lately
One Of the biggest administrative
tasks ever turned over TO any body
of men is that which confronts the
Interstate Commission. There is
ample evidence already that some
people who would be willing 10 see
the commission fail are trying TO
make il believe that success is fmpos-
sible- There is going o. be opposi-
tiOn, encouragement, complication.
Influences that ought 20 cooperate
in intelligent enforcement Of the law
of the land are going. tc place OBJ
staeles in the way. The task viii
be magnified and exaggerated. The
danger of mistakes viii be explained
far more frequently then the bene-
fits of successful insistence on salu-
tary requirements. Tbs effort to
surround the business of rate maxi
ing and rate publication with an
atmosphere of mighty mystery will
be increasingly pressed.
But on the other hand the com
mission viii find. if it seeks in the
right places among railroad men,
much of sympathetic and helpful CO.
operation. 1t viii find light for the
dark places ard solutions for the
difficulties.
The commission deserves to sue
ceed. It stands well with the people.
who are going to see that it gets
fair chance. It is not a commis-
sion of expert railroad men. and
il has a good many things 10 learn.
But it viii learn them if it viii keep
its head and not be afraid to trust
its own judgment.
That is the most important thing:
to have the courage to enforce the
conclusion 10 which fair inyestiga-
tion leads, without fear or favor and
without being bluffed out of it by
ANYBODY

LONDON, July 2l.-FIre hundred mill

1.cate Of British capitalists is working.
Although their project was initiated SIX
years age. they are a. the present mo-

This enormous treasure is supposed
10 be a the bottom OF Lake GultavIta.

Legend Of Treasure Lake.
The god Of the ChIbchas was called
me GIded Nan and was supposed -

He exactsd tribute from the people in
the form Of gold and silver. jewels. and
ornaments. which the Chibchas threw

heard IT, and atttmpted 70 ger al the
treasure by draining the lake. He re-

Layer Of Mud IS Feet Thick
The engineers began their search for
the treasure by draining the lake which
was nine miles Ions and had nearly
reEained its original depth since Que
sadas operations 400 years ago. The
draining, however was accomplished in
1893. and the news sent the shares Of
Contractors Of BoEota. Ltd. bounding
uu.
When they had got rid Of the water
the engineers were confronted with q
laver Of mud twenty-five feet deep. or
100000 cubic feet OF solid mud. The
treasure was as inaccessible as ever.
It was then decided 10 make a dam
cross the outlet through which the lake
had been drained, and other c1ntrl-
vances nv which the mud could be pre-
cipitated and washed as auriter1us sand
is washed in Colorado.
When this work had been completed
