The Lecture on Panama.
rs kennehec Journal.

Editors Kennebec Journal.
ask permission to use your columns
in order to suggest to the people of
Augusta the importance OF the subject
of the lecture tonight at the City Hail
The aperture of the panama Canal
is the most gigantic task ever at
tempted in any age or by any people.
The American people have just pride
in the projection and completion of a
work which no nation has heretofore
had the courage TO undertake., save
one. which nation made a dismal fail
ure of the undertaking. l believe tn"
subject to be treated tonight by Mr..
Chester is of the most vital importance
to every person in the United States,
from both an educational and q
scientific standpoint. 1t is especially
desired that the school children take
advantage Of this opportunity To learn
Of the magnitude Of this undertaking.
which is not only of national, but of
international importance. The achieve
ment of the undertaking means that
the Panama Canal will be the most
glorious monument which has ever
been erected in any age or by anJ
people: Il monument to the pride and
patriotism of the American people. Mr.
Chester is entirely competent to dis
cuSs the question of the panama
Canal He has Il fine collection 81
Illustrations which will be used in con-
nection with his lecture. His lectuit
has been received with enthusiasm
and commentator wherever it has
been given. ami believe the people OF
| Augusta will lose an opportunity Suci
as is rarely presented if they do moi
| attend Mr.. Chester's lecture tonight.

rights" they so little know how to
use or how to becOmingly wear.
Motherhood and Wifehood, in the
opinion of this modern craze for
equal rights" have to large degree
lost the halo and glory which Divine
Creator bestowed upon those sacred
offices, and in the wake of this unsex-
ing process the divorce courts have
multiplied and increased, and what is
worse even than that, the peace and
quiet and government of the Home
has been invaded, until every thought
full man, in Church and State is cry
ing out against an intOlerable condl-
ton which the wisest of them do not
know how to remedy. Large families
have given place to race suicide, TO
such an extent that the President OF
the Union must needs inveigh against
it, and the press of the country mas
become daily rehash Of family trou-
bles and scandals, which have be-
come so common that they hardly
receive passing notice.
If there is remedy for all this, 1t
be a return to the old ways,
when women were the queens OF the
home, and when every man guarded
his own. lest the breath of criticism
or comment visit not too roughly her
name or reputation. Back to the old
DAYS when alimony was disgrace;
when any allowance" would nave
been considered parsimony because OF
is limitations; when parental autnor1
ty controlled the young; when entire
md complete partnership had its full
tuition in the family circle; and when |
husband and wife lived together &C
,ording to Gods ordinances, enveloped !
n mutual confidence and love, their
ambitions, purposes and lives, one .
md the same.

The Business Mems Ticket" an.
nounced elsewhere in this issue, is a
good ticket, and has made for itself a
good platform. If there are others
who desire to run, and they measure
up to these men in good morals and
business qualifications, then every
voter can take his choice and no harm
will be done. 1t is proper and right
and important, and we are glad to see
that BUSINESS circles of Columbia are
waking up to the importance Of hav-
ing business men, and men OF affairs,
look after their municipal govern
ment. But the Herald would insist upon
one other plank in the Business Mems
platform; and that is Law Enforce
ment." We have known administra-
tons to make very good business"
showing. with very little enforcement
OF certain laws. We have known
them to make very good financial re-
ports, with very poor moral records.
A good business administration is
needed. A strong Law Enforcement
administration Is even worse needed;
for good morals is more to be desired
than great riches. Good business
and good morals ought to go hand in
hand; and we do not mean to suggest
or insinuate that they would not, under
the administration Of this Business
Meas Ticket; but we do not like the
emphasis to be placed altogether or
too much on BUSINESS.

THE MEN WHO MAKE GOOD.

Have you ever seen a strong and
executive character that had had moth.
ing to bear, wisely sympathetic per-
son who had felt no sorrow, public
or private individual who could ade'
quately meet the worlds demand in
commerce in politics, in finance, in
education, in religion, in home-making
in anything-who had not fought
and suffered and felt and, in some de-
gree at least, conquered.-The De-
lineator for August

Even in dear old Memphis, which
our great and good Governor assaulted
the constitution and raped the legisla-
ture to gather into. his fold; even
there and among those he had claimed
as his veriest own, Malarial Ham finds
snags and things and vacant chairs, as
the following wall to the Nashville
American from its Memphis cores
pendent may indicate. For the bene-
fit of the uninitiated we will further
preface by saying that without Jno T.
Walsh and Tony, the Patterson forces
have hardly a fighting chance for
Memphis. With these few facts be-
fore you, gentle reader, you can more
easily catch the sad refrain of the
Americans Memphis special, which
reads as follows:
Ex-senator Edward w. Carmack
was in Memphis today and paid
notable visit to the City Hall. He
called upon acting Mayor Jno. t.
Walsh, and the meeting between the
two was more than brotherly. Sem
ator Carmack called with Bolivar
Buckner Bowen, but within a few
minuates after the trio were comfor-
tably in city furniture in the storm
cellar, Mr. Bowen found it convenient
to ask after the health of some friends
down the street, and the ex-senator
was closeted for a considerable length
of time in a heart-to-hear talk with
the acting Mayor of the city.
mo one knows what they talked
about or what was agreed to, II any
thing, but they were closeted for some
time and both left in an excellent
humor."

Engineer j. A. Kaiser, of Alabama
is probably not known to many Of our
readers" says the Nashville Christian
Advocate. I'VE hereby introduce
chin. The cab of his locomotive
caught Are while he was pulling a
train. Instead of retreating, he stood
with his hand on the lever of the air
brake till he had brought the train
to full stop, and as a result had to
be taken to the hospital to be cured
of his burns. That was clean grit.
To stand still and be roasted for
conscience sake is not asked of many
men. Even the Christian martyrs
were chained to the stake. The only
chain which held this modern martyr
was duty"

"They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred. scoffng and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think;

In the RIGHT with two or three"

THE real corruptors of society may
be, not the corrupt, but those who
have held back the righteous leaven,
the salt that has lost its SAVIOR, the
innocent. who have not even the moral
courage to show what they think OF
the effrontery OF impurity;-the seri-
Gus, who yet timidly succumb before
some loud voiced scoffer; the heart
trembling all over with religious SEN
sibilities that yet suffers itself through
false shame to be beaten down into
outward and practical acquiesence by
some rude and worldly nature"
