The real strife among the wise to the 18TH

miss and optimiss must rage deafeningly until the
canal is the greatest ruin and wreck in his
tory.
The other day said that great suberranean
body OF water had been struck under the Gan DAM and
that cruX OF the engineering problem resolved
against us and failure assured Then the ''toe of
the dam had settled and the dam itself had begun to slide
These things ruinons, if true.
But the engineers the work report that there is
subterranean lake. and that they expected and desired
the dam to settle.
1t is true that the Gatup dan, is founded on clay.
that there is subterranean artesan'' flow of water
under it, that if it bursts will sweep the canal and
all vessels that happen to be in it to destruction
1t is also true that such tremendous interests were
ever before staked on the integrity of such dam. It is
daring, an audacous piece of engineering
Mr. Lndon W. Bates, distinguished American en-
gneer who builds harbors and docks for many govern
ments is earnest pessimst Panama He thinks the
Gaun dam menace of the gravest sort and predicts
ultimate cost OF 55OOOO00 for unsafe waterway and
looks for failure and national shame worse than that
which came to De Lesseps and France.
Now what attitude the average voter take, who
merely pays his taxes and loves his country
He must rely on the engineers who actually build

sponsiby. Theirs the shame and disgrace of failure

TEMPERAMENT
ARE MEN BRAVE AND
WOMEN COWARDLY?

Another time worn tradition,
dear to mascline hearts, has been
shattered completely, according to
Lydia Kingsmill Commander, the
noted author and advocate of
woman suffrage.
She was waiting for New York
subway train, recently, when a
drunken man suddenly fell across
the tracks. While the men all about
seemed dazed, she displayed re-
markable presence of mind, awoke
the guards to realization of the
situation and had them signal the
oncoming train, which stopped
within foot of her sister. Mrs.
Breithut, who had grasped the I'M
fortunate mans hand and. in spite
Of the danger, was attempting to
pull him from the track.
