THE DIRT FLYING

At last we are notified that the
dirt is flying at Panama. That
is what the average American has
wanted. He has wanted the dirt TO
fly. The average American wants
action. You can note that at the
ball game or the horse race or at
a church fair. Always he wants ac-
ton.
Next day after the United States
took charge of the work at Pan
anna there was demand upon the
part of the American people for
something to be done something
that would make the dirt fly. The
details had TO be worked ont, Of
course. The usual amount of poll
ties had to be played, good and
bad had to be read and reread
and submitted to the people to be
read again.
When millions of dollars were
invested in machinery, when hous-
es were being built, and railroads
were being constructed and sewers
were being put down and health
looked after, il did not satisfy
anybody. People didn't seem to
care for anything but dirt, the dirt
that connected two oceans. They
wanted it moved and they could
not or would not see that good
many things had to be done before
the dirt was moved.
But now we are told that the
dirt is being moved. The report of
the canal commission for July is
out. II is by far the best report
that has been submitted, because
it shows that something is being
done. M
Thirty-eight thousand people are
on the pay rolls ten thousand
more than have ever before been
on the rolls Of the canal commits
sion. Eight hundred thousand cubic
yards of dirt were moved during
the month of July-enough to
build an ordinary-sized canal, and
more than was ever before moved
in one month.
In fact, the amount Of worl;
done upon the canal during July
was five times greater than the
amount done during July Of year
ago. Every steam shovel on the
works did 50 per cent more work
during the month than was done
for the corresponding month of
1906. In short, things are moving
right along and there is no reason
to believe that we shall not con,
tinue at the the same rate of speed
which would complete the canal in
half dozen years.
As for sickness and death, the
commission states that the death
rate has been reduced so per cenI
and that there is less sickness than
at any period during the time the
government has had charge Of the
canal strip. The condition of health
and the low death rate is due to
the work of sanitation that was
being done when we were clamor-
ing for them TO begin making the
dirt fly, So that, with all of its
mistakes, we must give the COM

ROTTEN EGGS AND
OVER RIPE VEGETABLES
Eerdinand p Earle Who Has Gained More Fame Through
NJ His affinity" Than by the Products of His Pen
IN and Brush is Given warm Send off When
NJ He Starts For New York.

Fresh ones were in as great demand
as stale ones in the enthusiasm OF
the moment. The station was quick
ly surrounded by several hundred
persons. They yelled to the artist:
Come out, sockless one"
"Oh. whiskers.
rive are waiting for you, affinity"
He appeared at the station door for
g moment, and battery of eggs ana
vegetables et,itself loose against the
wall. II frescoed the doorway, but
the artist escaped damage.
Then came the toot of an engine.
His face beamed with delight. 1t
was theidown train, he thought, and
he rushed out. IL turned out 10 be
way freight and as Earle scrambled
back to the station door, the air was
filled with missiles. One egg found
a fair mark on the back of his neck.
When Earle won the quiet of the
little room in the station again, he
carefully removed as much of the
egg as possible, saying, as he took
a large bullet from his pocket;
"This is what they ought to have"
! But he had no weapon. aa
When the train pulled in the crowd
closed in on him again, and once
more eggs and vegetables filled the
air. Earle suddenly turned and the
crowd circled out from him. His
ldemeanor was so ferocious that none
dared come closer. Pale-faced, he
stood his ground for a second, and
then sprang aboard the train, fol-
lowed by the gibes of the villagers.
