Bowling Green (Ky.) dispatch

ago by Albert A. Sparks. editor Of
the Mount Vernon, lad. Republi-

published l give it here word fer

between Colonel TAgersoll and his
friend Dr.. Buckley, and was as
follows:
"Dear Buckley--I send you some
Of the most wonderful whisky thai
ever drove the skeleton from the
feast or painted landscapes in the
brain of man. 1t is the mingled
souls of wheat and corn. In it you
will find the sunshine and shadow
that chaseth each other over billowy
fields, the breath of June, the carol
of the lark, the dew of the night,
the wealth of summer and autumn's
rich coRtent all golden with i'm
prisoned light. Drink it and you
will hear the voice of men aud
maidens singing the Harvest Hoae,
mingled with the laughter of chill

within your blood the starred dswns,
the dreamy, tawny dusks of perfccl
days. For forty years this liquid
joy has been confined within slaves

are within us-fear, hate, envy,
pride, and others. This first named
IS the most powerful and exerts a
great influence over us, uniting us
for usefulness, robbing us of peace
of miLd, happiness and health, and
destroying our ability in the duties
of life. If we plan to do something
TO broaden our life, to go out of the
beaten path, we find him there to
block the way, looking SO ominous
md dreadful that our hearts sink
and we turn away, glad to remai'
waere we are. He fills us WI h
read and despair, and makes life
miserable wherever we spend it.
| wonder if you have ever stopped
to think how often you show your
allegiance to this tyrant foe. How
many times in a day do you say,
81 am afraid2" You are afraid the
oaby is gong to have the scarlet
fever. You are afraid that there
will not be bread enough for dinner
or the cake will fail. You fear the
weather, disease, custom, fashion,
public opinion. You are so domi
mated by fear that you cannot be
your own sweet, simple self, nor act

God, fear is from the devil. The
\ Old Testament is full of it. God
commanded those whom he com
missioned to do great things,to be
courageous and strong, How many
times he repeated to Joshua when
starting into the unexplored land of
Canaan to "Be strong and very
courageous" The New Testament
emphasizes it. Christ taught it in
ell His preaching. "Fear not, "
'"Be of good courage" etc
Whatever duty or work comes 20
you, do not fear to accept it. Have
,courage and even if it seems to you
. impossible If it is your work, take
hold of it, trusting for strength, and
you can do it. Courage will lead
you into unexplored regions of your
own nature and show you resources
that you did not dream of. Courage
will give you buoyancy and health
and enable you to accomplish many
things that fear all your lie has tOld
you was impossible. Whenever you
are tempted to say, "I am afraid"
throw back your shoulders; take
deep full breaths, and without wor.

country place any credepce In the
somewhat vague charges made by
the New York World that graft
played an important part in the
transfer of the French equity in the
Panama canal. These charges have
not been definitely formulated, but
for the most part are insinuated in
the question, "Who got the
moneyf"-meaAing the difference
between the alleged value of the
French equity, placed at $I2, ooo,-
900, and the $40, 900, 600 paid by
the United States to the French
government. The insinuation fur
ther duplicates President Roose-
vel,'s brother-in-law, Mr.. Douglas
Robinson, and Mr.. Taft's brother,
Mr.. Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, /,
as members of an alleged syndicate
that purchased the French equity
and sold it to this government.
Thus far President Roosevelt has
not answered these charges, save in
a general denial Of a most emphatic
character. Mr., Taft, Mr.. Crom
we'll and others have done the same,
which is about as much as cauld be
expected of them, without further
specification by the World as to the
exact nature of the alleged gratis,
But the president should go little
further into the case, and order a
general investigation of the entire
matter, not as a recognition of the
validity Of the Worlds charges, but
as a rightful concession to the
American people who are paying
the bills. Such an investigation is
due, aud is quite aside frcEl the
recent newspaper charges, which
would be refrted incidentally if aid
were found we'll.
The Panama canal is quite the
largest. peaceful operation this
government has ever undertaken,
aud it is oae in whick every citizen
Is 3aeply concerned When the
project Yves first broaohed, it was

opposition to it. The American
people wery wiIlingly took up the
additional burdea Of teNation, and
it if only their due that they SHOULD
be bnforuscd from time to time what
progress has been made, and as
su1ed that their money has been
wisely ,speat. That some excravay
gaace has marked the management
OF the canal there is no doubt. The
canal oon mission is body OF men

Bishop, is an examPle. However
well he may staniw, III his associates,
and whatever ability he may have
as business man, if any, he has
not GemosstI Ated aRy fitness for his
present position. And there are
many other things that should be
investigated. No harm could come
of reOpening Of the whole history
of the canal by committee of con-
gress, and it should be somewhat
desirable thing from the standpoint
of President Roosevelt, who would
experience satisfaction Ia turning
over this great work free from all
of craft.

The United States stands at the
head of the producers and also of the
consumers of paper. J. Arren has
given figures showing the development !
OF the American periodical press. He
calculates. that in 1870 each inhabi- |
tant Of the country received 80 copies
Of a periodical; that in 1850, this
number rose to 41.2, in 1890 to 72.2. .
in 1900 to 1OS. and that in 1908, each
inhabitant Of this nation is receiving /
l25 copies Of a periodical. But this
increase in the number Of copies bears
no comparison with the real amount /
of n~frtirc done hy the Americary
periodical press, for in 1880 1000

globe to forces that might have been
thought too insignificant to cause dis
torLion. Among these forces is the
alteration in the pressure of the at
mosphere during the passage of storms
causing a perceptible fitting of large
areas of ground. A curious case of
such tilting in an unexpected direction
has recently been recorded by Prof.
Omori in Jauan. A storm passing
over the sea east of Toxic caused The
bordering land to tilt downward nou-
outstanding the fact that the atmos-
pheric pressure is lessened within a
storm area. This is explained by the
fact that the sea rises with release
of atmospheric pressure and the ac-
emulation of water more than suf-
feed to counterbalance the decrease in
weight of the air.
