under stood that said acceptance would

In describing the advantages Of the
small colleges over the large ones Justice
Halan said IL he had a son he would not
send him to one of the big colleges. He
spoke of the ACCESSIBILITY of using the
smaller colleges. inasmuch as there was
more opportunity for the bctterment of
the scholar from a moral social and in
tellectual point of view. He said tn"
president of the large universities knew
little or nothing of the individual life OF
the college man while in the smaller col
leges there was an opportunity for thte
president to mnslc with the men under
him and knew their differences. Justice
Harlan was hOnored with the degree OF

A Lock or Sea Level Canal?

Since he has been back in WASH
ington, Chief Engineer Stevens has
made it plain that he favors the con-
struction Of a lock canal rather than
sea level canal which SO many have
advocated. His chief reasons are that
a lock canal would cost not more than
$4,000, 900 and could be completed
in eight years at the most, while
canal on a sea level would cost $780,
OOO, 900 and would be from II to Is
years under construction. These are
substantial considerations and will be
given careful thought by those upon
whom rests the responsibility of the
OF course other things being equal. a
canal of the sea level type is the one
which all prefer, and perhaps II 1t
were only "A question of money public
sentiment would sanction and desire
its selection. The best is none too
good for America and the large addi-
tional expenditure of money would not
be begrudged providing it gave the
kind of a canal which would be most
satisfactory.
The element of time, however, puts
the matter in another light, and many
will argue that a lock canal that could
be built i'm half the time of a sea level
canal should be the kind constructed
no matter whether it cost more or less
than the sea level kind. Those inter-
ested in our commerce, and those in
charge of our naval affairs earnestly
desire a safer. better and quicker
means of getting from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. The anxiety with which
the nation followed the progress of the
Oregon from San Francisco to Santi-
ago in 1898 was an object lesson which
has not been forgotten. Then our
the commercial world realizes that the
Far East, particularly China, is on the
verge of Il great awakening. Before
the United States can get the Eastern
trade which belongs to it, the Panama
canal must be ready for use.
These in substance are the argu-
mcnts of those who want the work
hurried at all possible speed and who
advocate lock canal because it can
be built in eight years as against L.
or Is years for Il sea level canal. 9th
crs disregard these arguments and
also the Increased cost and reply that
since the world has waited four CEN
turtles for this canal it can well afford
to wait dozen years longer in order
that 1t may enjoy through the
coming centuries the best type of canal
that can be constructed. And so tile
controversy goes on. The final de-
cisiOn cannot be much longer delayed.
1t is not to be denied that the attitude
of Chief Engineer Stevens gives much
strength to the attitude of the lock
canal advocates.

shall be more respected in a numbered
years than / am at present." Burns
once said to his wife, and the time has
demonstrated that his self appraisal
was correct. The Scotch have good
reason to he proud of Burns as their
national poet. but all the world has
learned to love him as the poet of hui
manity. The shortcomings of Burns
and it IS not to be denied that he was
mortal. are regarded more Ieniently by
the world as the years pass by, not be-
cause ethical standards have been low
cred, but because the frailtics of the
peasant poet have to be judged in the
light of time and circumstance. and be-
cause humanity is more and more
realizing that severe judgment is for
God and not for man. A recent writer
has lamentcd that the Scotland of to-
day has no poet, but it little needs an
other while the songs Of Burns live on
