THE WINTER COAL SUPPLY.

Commenting on the necessity Of Sc
curing an adequate supply OF coal be-
fore the rigorous winter weather, The
Minneapolis Tribune says
The northwest may feel a certain
appropriateness in the suggestion that
now Is a good time to think OF the
winters coal supply. The furnace as
a detriment to the quietude of domes-
tic life is still months away, but the
old saying, I'm time of reace prepare
for trouble" contains no more greater
truth than "A ton of coal in the bin
Is worth several on the way"
The dealers are inclined to- the opia.
ion that very little has been done by
the consumer in the way OF taking heed
Of next December, January and Feb
ruaIy. This may be, of cot rse, an IN.
direct method for boosting sales.
Nevertheless, there are several reas
ons why this section OF tne country
should take more than passive interest
in the approach of the melanc hoiv days
The northwest does not want n rope.
t:l'cp of the conditions which prevail
cd during the car shortage lays Of
1906.
In the first place there is an i'm
mense grain tonnage to be moved from
the interior to the terminal markets the
next four or five months. In the Sec
ond place this section is rolling in
wealth and the shipments OF mer2han-
| disc should be exceptionally liberal.
The railroad facilities, in spite Of
larger equipment, are liable to be
taxed to the limit in transporting this
immense volume of traffic The pros.
perity which the wealth of farms will
bring to the northwest this season is
| beyond the touch of adversely.
| Besides these considerations, which
are by no means positive that difficult
ties will be encountered in the move
rnent Of freight there is the unknown
factor, the weather. It Is probably
true that any transportation conges-
ton could be minimized were the op-
Grating departments OF railways sure
that they would not have to face the
almost insurmountabIe difficulties OF
heavy SHOWS and billiards..
1t was the hard winter OF 1906 I
which brought about the great suffer
ing in the northwest That was a year
Of large crops and heavy freight traffic
Much of this could have been avoided
had the coal supply at interior points
been sufficient to meet the needs oil

NO LEGISLATIVE PLEDGES.

viii the candidate who wins out in
the senatorial primaries next year be
elected to the U. S. senate by the leg
islature?
The courts have declared the OBJ
noxious pledge feature unconstitution-
al. No member Of the Legislature need
have regarded 1T in that light at the
last election--but the fact that the
members had taken the pledge before
the decision Of the supreme court
made 1t regarded as morally binding.
Next year there will be nothing of
that kind. The members Of the leg
islature viii be free lances. Amy vote
on the senatorial question can be re-
garded only in the light of a sugges-
ton or as a commandments as
mandatory.
This may make quite a difference in
the results.
In view OF these facts 1t is some
what doubtful whether there will be
as much interest next summer In the
senatorial campaign as In the last,
Probably the candidates will make
just as bitter a fight-for the prestige
the winner would hope to get out OF
1t before the legislature.

MENTAL HEALING.

Mental healing, psychotherapy, faith
cure, or whatever one may choose to
call the system that makes for health
by bringing about proper mental
state and attitude, is another proof
that there is nothing new under tho
sun, says The Duluth Herald. In spite
Of division Of opinion about meth
DDS, definitions and nomenclature, the
thing itself seems as solid and sub
stantial as anything in life; but nearly
everybody assumes that II Is a modern
product. or at least dating back only
to Mesmer.
III. Addington Bruce, however. in an
entertaining article in the September
Outlook sketches the history and evo-
luton OF mental healing, and shows
that 1T possesses great antiquity. "The
literature and monumental remains OF
ancient Egypt, Greece. Rome. Persia,
India and China reveal widespread
knowledge OF hypnotism and its Their
apeutic value" he says. There is in
the British museum bas-relief from
Thebes which has been interpreted as
representing physician hypnotising
q patient by making passes over him
According to the Ebers papyrus the
laying on of hands formed a promi-
nent feature OF Egyptian medical prac-
tice as early as 1859 b. G., or nearly
$500 years ago; and II is known that a
similar method Of treatment was en-
ployed by priests Of Chaldea In min
istering to the sick
This does not of course. imply that
the ancients knew much about the
force with which they were dealing.
on the contrary, there Is evidence that
they Used It much as do too many 81

Digby, William Maxwell and Robert
Fludd advanced the same ideas. III
the eighteenth century Franz Anton
Mesmer dug these speculations out OF
forgotten times. and he called tho
force which he used to heal sickness
animal magnetism" though for long
time 1t was called mesmerism I'M his
honor. The theory OF an invisible fluid
was rejected when II became clear that
TO induce the mesmeric state II was
only necessary to provoke high state
OF expectancy In the subject, and when
DIR. James Braid demonstrated the pos
sibility Of self-hypnotism.
During all this time a good many OF
the demonstrations smacked OF char
latanism, and they do still. The great
objection to all branches Of mental
healing is its susceptibility to char
latanism. 1t is no cure all; but IT
does cure. Physicians OF all schools
today recognize the effect of mental
attitude upon health, and for a large
class Of human Ills there seems no
other cure than to bring about a prop
or mental attitude. 1t can scarcely be
said that psychotherapy is yet def
nitely honored with legitimate place
in science; yet 1t would be hard TO
disprove statement that mental heal
ing. in one form or another and under
one name or another, is accomplishing
more cures than all other means put
together. It Is a species of mental
healing when doctor tells his ner-
vous patients to take up something
that will take their minds off them
selves, or to travel and find a change
of surroundings. Christian Science.
the New Thought and the Emmanuel
Movement are actually curing sick
people. They are not mending broken
limbs or healing the LESSONS OF organ
ic disease, but they are curing func-
tional disease right and left.
The principles underlying religious
were developed by
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, an OBJ
scure clocxmaker. One of his patients
was Mrs. Mary Eddy, the founder of
Christian Science; two others launched
the New Thought movement.

Chicago, sept. s-The dove of peace
once more lowered over the street car
strike situation today when 1t was
said that the latest compromise wage
scale proposed yesterday with view
to settling the whole difficulty would
be accepted before night.
The representatives of the street car
unions discussed the propositions all
morning, and at noon a majority were
said to favor it,
The street railway presidents are
also favorable.
If both sides accept at a joint meet
ing this afternoon the union represen-

the rank and file for final action.
The proposition involves granting a
graduated wage scale with a maxi
mum of 29h cents an hour, to be

on them exclusively. He says cancer
comes from disorganized digestion

ROAD OPENED IN ANCoN AND BRIDGE ON

There are no bridges, and when it

span iron bridge recently erected in
place of an old wooden frame on the
La Boca road. 1t has wooden floor

This is the road into which the new

you will enter the newly opened road

A ROAD IN PANAMA.
Features of Highway Built by the

Features of a Highway Built by the
United States Government.
Road building down on the isthmus
of Panama does of necessity get its
share of attention, too, but by the
Americans, however, for when they
find that the business of the zone can
best be facilitated by the making of
good roads the work is then COM
menced. But it must be remembered
that there are no roads at all, so when
they build they build good ones.
There has recently been thrown open
new read in the zone which extends
from the Boulevard Fourth de Julio to
the La Boca road 1t comes through
Ancon, canal zone, and is a sort Of
boundary line between the zone and
Panama, Panama being on the right,
while Ancon is on the left. Before this
road was opened up road traffic be-
tween Ancon. canal zone, and La Boca
had to travel route about one and
one-half miles longer than the present
route, thus causing the consumption
of much time in the zones business
traffic. The present route is what
might be called "short cut"
The road was ballasted with crushed
stone on its completion and has since
been reballasted, SO as to stand the
long rainy season. This was done by
first going over it with more crushed
stone, followed by water sprinkling
wagon, after which road roller went
over it. The roller may be seen IN the
distance The road is now in a sub
stantial condition.
| The republic of Panama has no
roads, and yet this is the one thing
that will give impetus to the business
Of her people. 1t is only matter of
time when there will be roads
through the zone extending from the
| city of Panama to that of Colon, BY
having these the business of the canal
zone can be expedited.
Some one may ask, What does the
one span bridge amount to? Well. it
means much down on the isthmus.
