be fatal to the aspirations of count
less men.
The great ship channel from the
lakes to the gulf may yet be complet-
ed before the Panama canal is fin
ished, though work on that enter
prise is being pushed with all posi-
BILE haste
Deep as the cut in Culebra hill is
to be, and unprecedented as the Gatun
dam will stand when completed, yet all
begin to feel that the canal will be
dug, and that too within reasonable
period and at a reasonable cost. The
lest judges. of the work now say
that the canal will be opened by 1915,
and that its cost will not exceed $685.
0c0,0 A canal from sea to sea
through which the largest ships can
pass in the course of seven years will
be satisfactory to the people who are
footing the bills. The military engi-
neers are doing good work, and they
do not stay in Washington to exploit
themselves and their labors.
In seven years canal near our
own gulf shores, linking the two
oceans and connecting with a water
way across the continent!
Has any one in Hattiesburg stopped
to consider what this means to Mis-
sissippi, and to this section in partic-
ular?
The railroad companies know what
it means, for they are Fastening to
secure lines to the gulf. They know
that a vast trade will spring up be.
tween the gulf ports and the canal
and that New Orleans will become
one of the greatest,cities in the world
Mobile, too, will be largely benefited
and Gulfport and Pascagoula will ex
perience a great awakening, as these
are the gateways to the sea for all o.
the varied products of this district.
With four lines of railroad to the
gulf, connecting us with New Orleans
Mobile, Gulfport and Pascagoula, Hat
tiesburg is the best located city il
the South for the location of manufac
turing industries.
And the wise man will take thes'
things into consideration before in
vesting his money.

Last evening the twilight fell lit
tie earlier than usual. The change
was slight, but it was noticeable. 1t
fingered redder in the patches through
the western foliage, and the shadows
were deeper and darker. In them
was tinge of cooler weather. There
was suggestion of melancholy about
tia distinct impression brought
about by the approach of another sea-
SON.
We fell to thinking of other autumns
--of other years and what we were do
ing when the year was at this stage.
They are pleasant recollections, and
among them is one that seemed most
drear at the time-the beginning of
the school year. 1t meant new pair
of shoes, plastering of the untamed
locks and 4 hunt for the books that
could hardly be expected to stay where
we put them long months ago. When
school had let out the spring before
and we hadvAsone out from the ho
|eRnool room into the tall rank grasses
of midsummer, it had seemed as
though vacation were going to be an
eternity. And now its end had come
It meant trudging back to school
with the dog-eared books, the new
teacher, and the classmates altered
like ourselves with the months of rus
tication.
Soon it will be necessary for us t.
have a fire in the CRATE. All! we SEE
the dear ones about the glow as |
used to be. We hear the song before
the lamps were lit. We partake of tht
supper rendered the more appetite
ing because of tinge of GOODNESS il

away to college for the winter. Faith

mainly, without distinction of race,
creed, sex, caste or color" are as
sembled in the WINDY City today to
participate in the sessions of the twen-
tiet hannual convention of the Amer
lean section of the Philosophical soci-
ETY. of the World, which opens tomor-

While preaching The gospel of a
"love that is as wide and deep as
Humanity" Theoiophists always

there is every prosHct that the open
ing session may deJlop quarrels and
brawls such as are 1bt unusual among
those who live on ttf ,tearthly plane
This possibility ID dTe to the pres
ence here of Mrs. hrhie Besant, of
Adyar, India, who TasI recently elect
ed world president Of the Theosophists
in succession to the late Henry Steele
Olcott. The opposition to Mrs. Besant
has been exceedingly virulent among
portion of the American members,
and it is frequently predicted that
her presence at the convention will
result in another split Alexander
Fullerton, of New Yor, for many years
general secretary of the society in
America, has been one Of Mrs. Be
SAINTS most strenuous opponents.
The American opposition to the
gifted Mrs. Besant-even her enemies
admit that she Use woman Of rare
talent and undoubted genius--is based
largely on ethical grounds, although
the question of spirituhlism also en-
tiers. The more conservative elemen
among the Theosophisas fear tina

adopt provision that will prevent the
society from becoming refuge for
moral perverts. 1t is pointed out that
Mrs. Besant, when prominent through
out the world as an atheist and a CO.
worker with Charles Bradlaugh, Rob-
ert Ingersoll and other famous free
thinkers, preached moral doctrine
to which none could take exception,
and that it is only since she has be-
come quasi-believer in spiritualism
that she has ceased to emphasize the
necessity of right living
Whatever action may be taken, 1t is
evident that the congress here will
be an important one in the history
of the Philosophical movement Mil
dewed theories which flourished In
Asia thousands of years ago will be
rehashed and ventilated by gifted Gin
itiates." Occult and esoteric myster-
les promulgated by the sages and wise
men of India will be considered in
the light of their modern applications
and the Interrogation points of the
ages will meet with ready answers.
Many prominent men are on the pro
gram, and the number of delegates al
ready here gives promise of the most
largely attended convention in the
history of the American society.
The Theosophical society was or.
ganized in 1875 by Madam Helen p
Blavatsky and Colonel Henry Steele
Olcott, the latter veteran of the
Civil war and once well known
newspaper man. Its headquarters
are at Adyar, India, where Mrs. Be
SAINT makes her home, and 1t is rep
resented by bodies OF followers II
nearly every nation. Its lodges are
self-governing and the individual
members are required to subscribe tt
no fixed creed. Its purposes, in add
ton to forming a universal brother
hood, are to promote the study o
comparative religion, philosophy an,
science and to investigate the unex
planned laws of nature and the pow
ers latent in man.

brilliant and able spooner Of Wiscon-
sin Is replaced by man, old in years
and unified by education, training or
experience for legislative duties. The
Republican majority in the Senate is
in danger of being left without men
OF brains to lead it. So many Of the
states in the North have been using
senatorship to pay men who made
large contributions 10 political cam
paigns, that there remain few states
men on the Republican side in the
Senate. Senator Foraker of Ohio is
about the only one of the really able
men left. Senator Allison of Iowa is
still there, but his age is against him.
Other Republican senator's who have
gained any reputation at all, such as
Aldrich of Rhode Island, are in the
Senate because they represent some
particular interest and they sit in the
United States Senate very much as a
lawyer sits in law suit, to protect
the interests of their clients. The Sem

What a sad spectacle is Goldwin
Smith in his beclouded old age! He is
looking for "a new dawn" with the
bright light shining all around him.
says the Newark, n. j., Monitor.
Blinded by the fumes of his pride. his
aged eyes once in a while. but alas.
only once in a while, catch glimpse
Of the streaming light. He imagines
that it is the first faint streaks of "a
new dawn" whereas the light of Gods
glorious truth is shining in splendor
around about him: but he alone is un-
conscious of it. The darkness is his
own; the intervals of light are the
Hastings of truth through the mists
and the clouds. What a pitiable fig
IRE this old man, cropping along and
,nuttering his despair and his bias
phemies. In his pride. he will solve
the riddle, and in his own way. Does
it not seem as though he We're resist
ing grace? How else can we explain
these exhibitions of feeling, this half
acceptance of the truth, these constant
changes and inconsistencies? AT one
time he is almost plunged into black
infidelity; at another, his hand seems
almost uplifted to knock at the door
of the Church. Let us suggest to the
aged historian that instead of giving
himself to bootless inquiry and vain
reasonings. he spend some time in
earnest prayer in all humanity before
Almighty God. And we hope and pray
that from it "a new dawn may rise
for his much-tossed soul
