"Hark from the tomb, a doleful

the voice of a Rip Van Wrinkle awak-
ened from long slumber, the voice of
one who cannot comprehend the mys-
FERROUS progress of the world. But he
still believes '.the star-eyed goddess of
reform is the popular song, although

Momentous Year for Norway.
The browning of King HaakOn VII.
and Queen Maud was made possible by
the momentouS events of last summer
in Norway. For many years differ
ences had existed between that country
and Sweden as to the Interpretation to
be put upon the convention of 1914, and
the rikstag of 1915. Norway claimed
to be an Independent nation and not to
belong constitutiOnally to Sweden. The
right to appoint cOnsuls to foreign coun-
tries was one of the chief matters in
dispute for several years. II May the
Norwegian storthing passed a bill for
a separate consular system. 1t was
vetoed by King Oscar, whereupon the
Norwegian council of state resigned.
The resignation was not accepted and
then the storthing passed a resolution
declaring the union between Norway
and Sweden under one King dissolved.
This was on June {. For some time
war between the two countries was
threatened, but finally commissioners
were appointed and the treaty of Carl
stad was adopted by which the dissolu
ton of the old ties was confirmed and
arrangements made for future rela-
lions on the basis of complete indie
pendence.
Some of the people of Norway were
in favor of establishing a republic, but
the majority were opposed to taking
such a radical step and the government,

crossed them with sacred oils as did
King Oscar of Sweden when he re-
ceived the crown forty years ago. The
King and Queen were anointed on the
forehead and wrists only.

church dignitaries taking the leading

ed by the Bohio dam, at Pedro Miguel,
thirty-eight miles from Colon. At this
point, it is thought, there will be two
double locks, which will bring the level
of the canal down to about twenty
eight feet above mean sea lev2l. A
mile and a half further on toward the
Pacific is Mirafiores, where there will
perhaps be another double lock, which
will let vessels down to the level of
the Pacific.
Commercial Event of the Age.
BY dividing Il hemisphere, man will
create Il new commerce of the verdi
and bring the countries of both sides of
the globe into closer relationship. Next
to girdling the globe with submarine
cables, therefore, this work of cutting
through the Isthmus of Panama will
prove. it is hardly too much to say,
the most important commercial event
of the age.
The annual cost of operation will be
about 100000, but it is expected to
yield a revenue in tolls of nearly $40
100000. The revenue producing func-
lions of the canal will be minor as COM
pared with its services in promoting
the industrial and commercial prog
ress and general welfare of the United
States. But while we speak OF its COM
mercial and political advantage to the
United States, we must also remember
its worth to the world and to the prog
reSS of civilization.

IN the ears of the people that he would
rather remain private citizen than
sacrifice a principle is willing to be the
leader in a campaign of pretense and
deception. What guarantee have the
people that Bryan, if elected, will not
attempt to foist the double standard on
the country and thereby carry out the
purpose that he has cherished almost
from the day he entered politics?
But Watterson passes lightly and
easily over this proposition and makes
reform the vital issue. There IS no hope
from the Republican party, he con-
c!udes. 1t is bound hand and foot to
corporations and has been dealing so
long in special privileges that it cannot
get out of the rut. The venerable edi-
tor evidently experienced a mental hia-
tbs when he went to Europe. He doesn't
seem to be familiar with what is trans
hiring in the affairs of the United
States. The assaults on corporate greed
begun by President Roosevelt and tax
Ell up by Congress must be news to him.
Many special privileges have been
wiped out of existence and the war of
determination has not yet reached its
zenith. The great Republican party,
answering the peoples cry of distress,
is making a vigorous campaign against
tie evils complained of and reducing
conditions to a healthy basis. While
Watterson and his allies are preaching
reform, the Republicans are practicing
it and in a way that is most gratifying
70 the people.
In the platform adopted by the Re
nublicans Of Pennsylvania the most adj
vanced position was taken in favor of
publicity in the affairs and manage
nent of the great corporations, par
ticularly those which are common car
rers or which deal on the staples or
necessaries of life, and we demand
such governmental inspection, supervis-
ion or regulation Of such corporations
as will give accurate knowledge Of their
financial conditions and business meth
obs, afford means for easily detecting
dishonest management and protect the
people from imposition" President
Roosevelt was unreservedly Endorsed
for his efforts to bring about these re-
forms, and the party pledged itself to
give its unqualified support. This is
the keynote of Republican expression
throughout the country and is but
another illustration of the fact repeat
edly demonstrated that the party of
Lincoln and Mckinley can be depended
upon not only to guide the ship Of state
in smooth waters, but to keep it in
a condition that will rebound to the
health and comfort of its passengers.

\ popular error is that one ocean has
a higher level than the other. This is
wrong, but there is a difference of
eighteen feet in the height to which
the tides rise on the two sides of the
iSthmuS. Hence, even if the canal were
made at sea level, guard locks would
have TO be built at each end. 1t has
been proposed that there be five twin
locks of concrete masonry along the
canal route. Beginning at Colon har-
Dor, the canal will be excavated for
twenty-four miles through the marshy
iowlands of the Chagres River to Bo-
Mo. So far it will be at sea level At
