erica;-a plan to which renewed attention may be
given as consequence of Secretary Roots utter
ances and efforts in behalf OF trade with the Latin
Americans
When this plan was drawn up it required the
construction OF 5000 miles of railroad. Since then
something has been done to create or extend links
IN the chain, and now 1000 miles Of new construc-
tiOn would complete it. Communication is com
plete across this country and Mexico, through Ar.
gentina and the southern half OF Chile. The new
construction would be required through Central
America Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Northern
Chile. 1t would be gigantic undertaking, with
engineering difficulties far greater than for Russa's
age to be constructed and with tributary territory
awaiting opening to which the Siberian region and
even the Amur and Manchnrian regions tapped by
the Cars railroad seem poor and barren.
Men like Leland Stanford, sJim' Hill or other
great American railroad builders could push this
line OF construction, Mr.. Kerens thinks. Perhaps
they conld. The project demands great construc
tive Imagination executing the commands OF senti
ment responsive to the new challange OF Opportun
ity. $50 South, young man,
Unhappily, neither the imagination nor the
sentiment is yet in sight Beyond the isthmus lies
continent steadily progressing from mtlitarism to-
ward state OF orderly government which safe
guards commercial development, and just crossing
the threshOHd of trade that should be the big fact
OF the century. Yet this congress thus far has re-
fused to saDctionra scheme for ocean c0mmunicat
ions that would cost us annually only half the price
Of battleship but would accomplish afoat what the
inteTcontnational railroad m g t accomplish
ashore.

The determination Of the French Cabinet to abO-
lish capital punishment puts an end to one Of the
barbarities Of civilized lands. For whatever may
be said Of the death penalty it's Dfiction publicly
90 ia France and by the method Of deCapiAatOn, il
both baFbaric and depEaving. Time was when all
nations slew their criminals in public with ribald
and religious crowd looking on. France was the
last OF the great nations to cOthe the execution Of
the death sentence in suitable secrecy Four states
in the Union have abolished the death penalty.
One other -Kansas--by by curious custom, which il
slowly growing into law, sentences the condemned
murderer to death, snpon wayrent Of the Cover

get the hOm0ly, Cno nOme6pun sources from which
we draw our inspiration and our life. Don't forget
Aunt Betty's Christian preachments nor Cousin
Polly's compacent and wise rusticity; for the but
tress and the belltower Of Kentucky's fame, the
verdure and the bloom OF KeRtucky's manhood and
wemanhOod we're and are and will ever remain the
Holy Bible, the old field school, the PATRIOTS call
to battle and the song of the greenwood tree"
There is nothing circnmscribed or prOvincile In
this searching cOmmentry. 1t is to broad to be
bounded by the limits Of state All the states of
the great Union are Goods country" not only to
the citizens of those states but in the broad and
magnificent sense in which Colonel Watterson was
speaking. The brilliant editor, statesman and phi
osOpher has welded trenchant pen in times gone
by and 1t has lost of its vgOr in later years.
But 1t is being dipped in the kindly fount Of ripen
ed and mellowed geniality, and suggests the happy
and hopeful blending of the Puritan and the Calva-
ier-the reverence Of the tst without his bigotry,
and the virility OF the latter without his unreasOning
fire.
No more wholesome message has ever come from
an American statesman than this tribute to the
real source and fount of national strength, and
the measure s peculiarly timely in these days when
the glitterng rainment Of the commercial aristracy
is more in fashion than the hOmespun Of the Ameri-
can yeomanry.
The lite Of the great cities, the fierce and bitter
struggle for wealth at any cost and by any means,
makes the thoughtful pessimistic at times. Things
seems to be going to the bOw.WOws and visions of
disaster arise. They seem very real to the man who
looks no further. But when he takes this splendid
and sweeping view Of Colonel Watterson he sees
that after all the cities but the seethng eddies
in the current of our national life, the incidental
rapids and whirlpO0ls along its course. The river
itselfe rises in the ''hOmespun sOurce'; it is fed
from that never failing inspiration and 1T will bear
the country safely past all the little Niagaras OF
graft and over all the quicksands of greed.

ering They enlist III haste and desert when they dis
cover that army life is not what they thought il
The remedy for deser tions is obtrOus and il was
pointed out by Secretary Tat's predecessor in the
war Office. Instead Of swearing in recruits for term
Of years let them be taken upon probation, 60 TO
speak, enjoying the privilege Of quitting the army at
any time during their fret year OF service No doubt
great many will take advantage Of the option, but
those who elect to serve full term Of enlistment
will stick. Because they will be men who like sold

And one satisfied soldier IL worth bali dozen that
are merley held in the army by fear Of the penalty
for deserion SO long as the natienS great business
and industrial activity continues il is going to be
difficult to GET men 10 90 into the regular army. The
wages and other inducements Of civil life will exercise
an uniaVOrable effect upon eDlstmentg. But we may
