LIKE THE OLD MINING CAMPS.
Women Are at a Premium In the
Panama Canal Zone.

One place in this world where wom-
en- seem to be at a premium is in the
canal zone. The women employed in
the zone are very few in proportion to
the men. OF a total in excess of $500
employees of the government 2O7 are
women Their salary is about what
the average man makes here in our
cities, or in actual figures they make
$3.50 a month. 1t Is not that the gov
eminent prefers men employees to
women, but the expense OF Quaftering
women would be SO much more ex-
p~ensive than arranging for men that
the latter are employed instead. Many
Of the women are employed as stenog-
raphers, telegraphers. copyists, time
keepers and clerks, although the great
majority of them are either teachers
or nurses. The chief woman clerk re-
ceives a salary Of $175, whereas the
lowest salary is $25 to a matrOn. The
majority of the women are wives to
the men working on the isthmus, and
are provided with married quarters.
1t is only in a very few instances that
women who apply for positions in the
zone are accepted. If they are not &C.
cepted as wage earners however, they
are making a good record for being &C.
cepted as wives. Girls who go to the
zone to visit brothers and uncles sell
dom return to the United States.
There is such a scarcity of wives in
the isthmus that almost every girl
who goes to the zone marries an am
bilious young man down there. She
has her innings in one way If not in
another.

A Quick Grower.

William M. Mauss, Chicago's indus
trial commissioner, recently visited
New York, and with great success
pointed out to the New Workers Chi
cago's many advantages as an indus
trial center.
Praising his great city at a dinner,
Mr.. Mauss smiled and said: Indeed,
the quick growth of Chicago is as re-
markable as that of Tin Can.
"A native praised Tin Can to a ten
derfoot.
"'Only six years DID, he said, and
the finest young town in the west
Tin Can the finest young town In

astonished. When were you there"
last week.

ought to see the place now"

Superb Courage Proved.

Through years of unparalleled po-
litical warfare, his loyalty to his ideals
and to his fellow men has been
abundantly shown. His refusal to
surrender. though subjected to abuse,
denunciation and vindictive opposition
such as few public men in all history
have been compelled to withstand, is
ample proof of his superb courage.
His career proves that successful
leadership is determined by the sue
cess or failure Of great principles
rather than by election to high office.

Justified His Name.

On opening a new golf course at
Tankerton, Whitstable, Eng, recently
Mr.. Akers-Douglas related good
story. A golfer at Hale had an irritat-
ing experience with local caddie. He
followed 80 closely, and was SO anxious
TO please by intelligent anticipation,
that the player had several narrow es-
capes of severely disfguring him.
After tedious and Improbable round
he paid him off, gave him his lunch
ticket and threcpence for cleaning his
clubs, and addressed him: You know
you'are not quite perfect as caddie.
There is room for Improvement But
as an agent for an accident insurance
company you are pretty hot stuff.
What is your name" The caddie. a
stolidlooking and hitherto silent
youth, moved, like Balaam's ass. by
the exigencies of the situation, opened
his mouth and replied, Mustard

Drainage Work
In The Everglades.

Elsewhere in The Journal today we
publish a very interesting illustrated
article ON the progress of the drainage
work in the Everglades. The article
is written by Mr.. Claude L'Engle, ed
ltor of the Tallahassee Sun, who made
trip into the Glades and saw the
work going ON, and who therefore
writes from knowledge secured at first
hand.
The Journal hopes It's readers will
read this article, because 1T contains
D great deal of information in which
all of the people of the state are di-
rectly interested, and because, from
nur own personal knowledge of the
work in the Glades, we know that Mr..
L'Engle's description is accurately
drawn.
The drainage of the Everglades is
a work which, whether completed by
him or not, must go down in history
sndissolubly coupled with the name of
Governor Napoleon B. Broward. Brow
ard began the work. He may not HIM
self complete it, but it will be COM
pleted. mo governor could afford to
call halt now. And the people would
not permit such thing, if it were
proposed.
This work of development will, when
its true Importance is realized, be re-
garded as the greatest enterprise with
which the state of Florida has ever
been, or will ever be, identified. Even
the reclamation of the great tracts of
arid lands in the west cannot be COM
pared in Importance with tie reclama-
ton of the rich Everglades territory,
which will some time furnish food for
millions of people throughout the ma
ton and riches for the thousands who
viii cultivate its productive soil.
There may be some difference of
opinion from time to time as to the
best method of draining the vast Ever
glades territory, but the value and de
STABILITY of draining the Everglades
Is a settled question, and the opera
tons will continue until the work has
been completed. For that reason. The
journal hopes everyone who receives
the paper will read the article pub
aished ON another page today. 1t is
both entertaining and instructive, and
win repay careful perusai.
