Among the scientists who have in
recent years engaged most actively In
the study of the obscure and little
known organs of the human body is
Dr. Charles Sajous, of Philadelphia.
1t is claimed for him that he is de-
monstrating not only the existence
of a self-existent curative power "Vis
medicatrix Naturae," ih the human
body, but that in these long neglected
and supposed useless organs the very
fountains Of the health-givlng auto

In a direct and unassuming manner
Colonel Cocktails presented in his re-

months progress in the vast and dim
cult undertaking on the isthmus Of
Panama. The report is devoid Of COM
plants or apologies or rash promises
as to the future. The whole country
is Informed by this plain narrative
that the difficulties in the way of ditch
ing the isthmus do not grow less for
midable, but the canal problem is be-
ing solved.
Colonel Goethals does not make light
Of the fact that landslides have &C.
Cured which impcded progress by In
creasing the amount Of earth to be re-
moved. but in removing the earth at
these points care has been taken to
provide for employing steam shovels
for this purpose in case of slides In

ultimate success by the Panama route
was doubtful have been disarmed by
the steady achievements Of Uncle
Sans patient engineers.

The Constitutional Emperor.

r A"o ~ AIAAROAOAs
BY words rather than deeds the i'm
spulsive and strenuous kaiser has i'm
pressed himself upon the American
people as an emperor of the kind that
reigned before divine right was seri-
ously challenged and whose "irQn.
hand" or, ''mailed fist" stands for ire
sistible sway. William II. is not of
that kind, and it needed but a clash of
his will with the aroused will Of the
German peoplesto show that the impe-
rial power centered in Berlin is moth
ing to make the earth tremble unless
backed by the national spirit.
Politically the GApan empire is a
union governed as a federal represent
alive system. The parliament is cleo
five and democratic. There is no non
arch in the usual sense, but a mo;
narchical feature is retained by making
the presidency of the federal council
hereditary and vesting the imperial ex-
ecutive power in the king of Prussia.
Prussia is the strongest member Of the
union and holds che balance Of power
In parliament. But the powerful states
Of Wurttemberg, Bavaria and Saxony
hold special privileges guaranteed by
the constitution as i%nviolable. In brief.
the kaiser is a president having unusu-
al mowers and rrivilapas which how.
ever, stop far short Of being supreme.

A Warming to Go Slow.

No m can object to calling it a
prosperity panic" If that explanation
Of the slump in 1907 is taken as q
warning to go slow as prosperity smiles
again. A year is much to- short a time
for learning how to do without and
to find the simple life agreeable ali
around. The burned child breads the
fire" only when the burn was a-smart-
ing one and the smarting Of the hang
on kind.
With the panic for texts the preach
ing Of sermons upon the national sin
Of waste will continue. But the best
sermon is the lesson that is burned in,
and II w cannot believe that the panic
was a real scorcher we can at least
make sur that the prosperity Of today
Il the real thing before we plunge into
a%,prosperity gait Of high living.

WILL RESULT IN
STUBBORN FIGHT
Effort to Change Govern
ment Of Canal Zone.
MILITARY NOW In CONTROL

Opponents Of Proposed Movement De-
clare the Situation Has Not Altered
Since Construction Work Began
and That There Will Be Plenty Of
Time TO Draft a Code Of Laws When
Canal Is Completed.
Washington. Dec. PA stubborn
fight is predicted by we'll posted men
in Washington to occur during the
present session of congress and pos
sibly extending into the extra ses-
sion as a result of the reported inten-
ton of the house committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce to recon-
mend to the house a new form of gov
eminent for the isthmian canal zone.
The zone is now governed by officials
more or less under the supervision of
the war department and the govern
ment is typically a military one.
1T will be urged in opposition to this
movement that the conditions which
required a military government at the
beginning of the construction OF the
canal still require one and that there
has been no controlling new elements.
The 10000 employees on the canal con-
strnction constitute t%ypically the en-
tire population of this little strip OF
American territory and it is claimed
by some interested in the government
of the zone that it would be economy
of management to have but one juris'
diction over these employees.
After the canal is completed, it is
pointed out, there will be plenty OF
time in which to draft a code of laws
for the permanent government of the
zone but not before.

The Uplift In the mountains.

~ EH -- -H HLr
Lincoln university, for the support
of which. money will be solicited In
connection with the Lincoln cente-
nary, is not merely another education
al fad nor is it a useless competitor
with other. institutions. 1t is main
tained for the practical training of
m%ountaineers who but for it's open
doors will live without half a chance
in case they, stay in the mountains and
fight against enormous odds If they
leave tie hills fpr crowded marts. In
It's ambition tile university may be
called an experiment. But the mission
proclaimed is rot .%farfetched., There is
need Of uplift work In those very
mountains.
Farther south in the mountains, of
Georgia a. young society woman of
st. Louis established a pioneer settle
ment' a. few years ago which has
proved that the idea Of; carrying culture
to the poorest soil is worth while. Be-
ginning with Ave boys in 1902, she now
conducts an establishment comprising
q laundry, truck farm. school and
library and dairy. the work being done
by pupils. some Of whom pay their
way by labor. However ignorant and
ragged at the start, the material Of the
Wild hills is good. Not alone native
ruggedness, but native honesty, Is the

HOUSE TARIFF HEARINGS
Examination Of. Witnesses Probably
Concluded.

A-#-N
Washington. Dec. 23.-Unless it Is
decided to call further witnesses be-
fore it the tariff hearings of the house
way and e committee have been
concluded. w. A. Graham Clark, an
expert on woolens connected with the
bureau of manufactures Of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, was the
last witness to appear before the
committee. He gave a mass Of figures
relating to cost of production in the
various wool producing countries and
supplied the committee with figures
as to shrinkage. shoddy and other
matters relating to wool. From the
character OF the questions asked by
several members of the committee 1t
is evident that they favor a reduction
in the duty on shoddy, while it is
hardly probable that any change will
be made in the wooden schedule gen.
orally.
The character Of the testimony
given to the committee by Andrew
Carnegie and the testimony of other
steel manufacturers at previous hear
ings would indicate that the commit
tee will possibly call further witnesses
to testify on the steel schedule.
