Roosevelt and Washington COm-
pared.

In President Roosevelt. the world
has recognized one of the great men
ofsthe times. 1t has persisted in put
ting him in the class of Washington,
Lincoln and other American States
men, whose greatness was de
yeloped in times of imminent
peril-times that demanded men
of courage and brains rather than
that thrust greatness upon individ-
uals. The world has failed to dis
tingnish that between Roosevelt
and Washington, there Is no simi-
larity of personal achievement or
unselfish sacrifice to country. In
the one case. an assassins bullet
brought the man into the public
eye; in the other dint of patriotism
brain and devotion to principle
In the one case the world fawned
AT the feet of product of chance,
characterizing his mistakes as state
craft; his cOnceited assumptions as
ability, and his arrogation of wis
dom az erudition. In the other,
it merely acknowledged the prov
ress of the man in the service, his
valor and brain have stamped up
on the country. In the one case,
the greatness is fictitious-thrust
upon 4 willing fortunate, who has
played to the galleries and upon
every eccentricity of politics and
society with the smooth adrOitness
of an artist. In the other, the
greatness is real, achieved in the
face of opposition, strife and threat
ened death TO American liberty by
leal fidelity and unselfish devotion
TO country.
Shades of the departed patriots! !!
The tombs of the dead fathers will
cry out when an irresponsible his
torian shall attempt to write
the name of Roosevelt on the same
scroll az those of Washington. Lin

AGRICULTURAL
Open i'm 1915.

Work on the Panama Canal dur
ing the year just past has progress
ed beyond the expectations Of the
most hopeful The excavations,
executed with tie most complete
excavating machinery and coIlater-
al equipment ever employed in a
similar undertaking, has exceeded
the highest estimate predicted for
the year. until now. it Is computed
that this part of the work Will be
completed within two and one half
years. Ii The present rate OF pro-
grees be maintained, it is estimated
by the corps of civil engineers i'm
charge, that the canal will be open
for navigation in 1915, or SIX years
from today.
In addition to the gratifying pro-
gress of construction, several i'm
portant revisions of the original
plans have been made. These re
visions provide for an increase in
the clear width of the locks and
other Improvements in structural
excellence that will add greatly to
the utility Of the channel. The
most gratifying information, how
ever, concerns the healthfulness of
the traversed section, which has
been brought about 10y the excellent
sanitary conditions inauguared
by the United States. 1t is stated
that the government employees on
the isthmas enjoy health which
compares favorably with that en-
ioyed by citizens of the average
American cities.
Take it all in all, the prospect for
the Panama Canal, means of
wonderful development for the
South. is bright indeed. and not
remote beyond the present genera
ton.

Rich Criminals, Rich Prosecutors
Kansas Citv Star.


Gradually, but certainly, it is
becoming more and more difficult
for rich criminals to escape justice.
The resources Of boodlers and graft
ers and of lawless corporations are
becoming less and less effective
against those entrusted with the re-
sponsibility of government. One
reason for this is that the money is
no longer on one side. The FEEDER
al and State governments have
entered on a liberal policy to put
down corruption. That is to say,
they are willing TO insure any
necessary expense to bring the
guilty to justice. although this is
good economic as well as a good
moral and ethical policy. But in
many instances the hunt for muni-
cipal corruption has been made
through an effective though private
means. Men of wealth have con
tributed literally for preliminary
work in many instances per-
sons Of relatively small means have
financed reform organizations to
hunt down the betrayers of cities.
Such manifestations of patriotism
and civic pride are only some of
tokens OF the moral awakening that
has come to the people and which
is making it more and more danger

OCEAN GOLF NOW THE RAGE.
Played on Broad Deck of a Steamer.
All Rules of Game Observed.

Ocean golf. played on the broad deck
of n steamer. is the latest pastime for
transatlantic passengers, and to Mr..
and Mrs. j.. H. Conrad OF Chicago is
given the credit for the creation of a
sport bound to become very popular
among the voyagers of the deep.
Probably most of the credit for the
innovation belongs to Mrs. Conrad.
who Is a devotee to golf and is not un-
known among the golf experts in the
western metropolis. She. with her hus-
band, was a passenger OF the Ham
burg-American liner Kaiserin Auguste
Victoria, which recently arrived at
New York. The Conrads suggested to
their fellow passengers the adoption
Of the game. and before the voyage
WIS fairly begun ocean golf was quite
the rage. Four days of fine weather
were devoted to the game, many WON
en- participating In it. Charles l..
Bishop of Lockport. N. ", captured all
records, his best effort being twenty
seven points.
THE game of ocean golf is played on
the steamers deck over a nine hole
course" explained Mrs. Conrad, "and
we use the disk and other implements
of the Switchboard game. / can assure
every one hat ocean golf is a sport
and diversion just too lovely fer any
thing. All the rules of regular golf are
observed. though the holes. bunkers
and all other obstacles to be overcome
are drawn in chalk on the deck Just
say to all skeptics hat ocean golf is
the fines game aboard ship hat ever
was"
