SUPERIOR HAPPY OVER BRIDGE.
Commercial Club and Council Wirt
Thanks to La Toilette.

SUPERIOR, Wis. Feb 14-[Spe-
cial. There was joy unconfned when
Senate had passed the steel trust bill
for a bridge across the St. Louis river
and that instead of merely taking verbal
assurance for it, this city is guaranteed
the bridge will be free to foot passen-
gers and vehicles in perpetuity
Senator La Toilette succeeded in get
ting the steel people to agree to write
this in the bill. 1t is believed of more
importanceto Superior than Duluth be-
cause, with the bridge open to such
traffic the center of this city will be
much more easily reached from the new
steel plant than will Duluth. The Com
mercial club and council have wired

with anguish and the eyes are dimmed
with tears, but it is spoken then be-
cause we have learned in days when
the way was plain and the heart was
light that the way Of that will was,
after all and always, the best.
We desire that the eternal will
should be done because that eternal
will is but the fundamental law of our
universe, it is that which moves
through all, through poisoning flower
and dashing wave, through elemental
force and human pity and love, that
law that leads to larger life; to fight
against it on any plane of life is physi-
cal, intellectual, or moral suicide
The secret of living is In finding out
this will and gladly willing it to be
ours, in discovering the beat and
rhythm of the universe and setting our
songs IL tune with it, in learning how
to live not in spite Of the universe
but because We are borne along on its
tides Of full life.
It may be better to fight against the
universe than to accept 1t with fear,
but better than either Is to learn its
way, to make it's forces our servants,
neither to oppose nor to yield, but de-
liberately to will to live in harmony
with the great tides of life, with the
moral order of the universe.
Soon We find that somehow this will

ever way we may choose to speak Of
it Is working out purposes larger than
we had thought, is not the arbitrary
quiXotic DEGREES of a mighty man in
the heavens, but is the language of IN
infinite love, love that battles all our
philosophy because it surpasses our
experience.
Then how joyously we cry. Thy will
be done, not because we are baff1ed.
but because it is infinitely, eternaIIy
best, not because it is a law imposed
upon US, but because it is a way Of life
we discover for ourselves and know
to be the best for earth. the way Of
heaven.

To Abolish Cape Hatteras

A new coastal canal Is to slice off a
strip Of our Atlantic shore from Ches-
apeake Bay south to Beaufort Inlet,
writes G. H. Claudy in the Technical
World Magazine Its course is by way
Of the natural waterways of Albemarle,
Pamlico, Croatan and, perhaps, Core
sounds, and such other natural rivers,
bays and inlets as may be available
And 1t Is to pinch out a row Of the
most dangerous sea-miles known to
our coast trade.
The project as it now stands will
start from the head of the southern
branch of Elizabeth River, at Norfolk.
Va, and will either go through the
route OF the present Albemarle and
Chesapeake Canal, or through a new
canal to be cut, known as the Cooper
creek route. The two routes are so
nearly alike In engineering features
that is, the good points Of one are so
nearly balanced by the bad points of
the other, and vice versa, that the
board Of engineers having the matter

vised that cost Of construction be the
deciding factor, and the Albemarle and
Chesapeake canal route is therefore
chosen But the hitch comes In the
purchase of this canal. The owners
refuse to say what they will sell it
for. Naturally, they want the best
possible price. So the engineer board
has determined its value, not as a
property earning money, but by its
value to the project The final deci-
sion is that, if the canal can be Dur
chased for half a million dollars. its
use will be commonwealth it cannot be
purchased for that amount, then the
Cooper creek canal should be dug,
