PANAMA CANAL PROBLEM.
Why the Lock Scheme Is Superior to
 Open Waterway

From the St. Louis Republic.
 Those who have given more than sup erfieial study to the canal problem know that such thing as an absolutely open cut from ocean to ocean, without any lock. is practically impossible. There is q difference in the water level of the two oceans of about r feet and this can only be overcome by building a lock. which would, therefore be necessitated as feature of the Pacific coast end of the canal in any event, but this is rel atively subordinate feature in determin- ing the comparative value of the two types of canal. Other more important factors dictated and Justified adoption of the lock plan
 The time 1t would take to complete the work and the cost of construction were very properly classed as important fac tors. The enterprise will cost less money and will be sooner finished by the plan adopted than could possibly have been the case if the canal had been cut to the level of the Atlantic ocean instead of being & feet higher But more important even than these considerations is the fact that ships will take about eight days i'll transit across the isthmus in the lock canal, and would have required ten days to navigate a sea level canal
 This advantage of time follows from the fact that most of the distance is traversed in two great artificial lakes, in which steamships may move at q speed impossible within the wall-confined stretch. of a legitimate canal. The Pan ana canal the United States is building V a canal in fact for less than one-tEiird of it's length.

A Talk With Prince Ito
By FRANK G. CARPENTER.

Copyright, 1909. by Frank c. Carpenter)
 Tolio. February 20, 1909. | HAVE just returned from a morning , spent with Prince Ito, the Grand Old 4 Man of Japan He is the Bismarck Gladstone, John Sherman and Ulysses $. Grant of this empire, and | he should write book telling the history of his country he should have to begin it as Caesar did his commentaries on the Gal lie war, by saying. Magma pars fur (A great part of which l was)
 In connection with Marquis lnouye Prince Ito was the first to see the abso- 1ute necessity of Japan's adopting the western civilization if she would hold place among the nations Of the world. As a boy he fought against the Shogun in order to put the Emperor in power, and when the new government was con stituted in 1868 he was one of the chief organizers being vice minister of finance and public works. At that time he was only 27 years of age Two years later he was sent to the United States to study our financial system, which he introduced here. and at the age of 30 he was sent abroad as a special envoy to arrange treaties with the European powers.
 A little later we find him in Europe studying the constitutions of the prin- cipal nations. and after that back in Tollfo writing the constitution which now governs Japan. In one of the rooms of

Excessive Drinking
Orrine Destroys the Craving for Drink
 Cure Effected or Money Refunded.

Excessive or continued use of alco- holic beverages always results in dis eased condition of the nervous system.
 The drinking man Is often heard to say. q can stop of my own free will and when I wish," but the poor fellow is now devoid of the power to act at the proper time and in the right way it's too late, the craving has secured a firm hold and because of the diseased nervous system he has not the ability for sustained effort. The result we all know.
 Drunk enness is no longer considered a crime; eminent scientists and physi- clans have agreed that 1t Is disease and must be treated as such.
 The home treatment that has been used .for a number of years, and IS highly successful is Orrine. 1t is sold under a positive guarantee that if 1t does not effect a cure your money will be refunded.
 Orrine is in two forms. When desfr- ing to give secretly, purchase Orrine No. 1, and if the patient will volun- tarily take the treatment Orrine No. 3 should be given.

the distress we have been lately experi- encing. We have had a big war, and In consequence we have an enormous debt which must be paid. We are rich how ever, in resources of many kind, and by holding back a little and economizing much the business of the country will soon take care of itself. As it is today, Japan is not alone in having financial troubles. Similar conditions have existed during the past year Throughout your own country and also in Europe"
 Not Nation of Imitators. Speaking of manufacturing,' said I, your highness has frequently heard the statement made that the Japanese cannot do original work along such lines and that you are only nation of copyists and That is not true" said Prince Ito. "The Japanese are naturally inventive and creative and the world is rapidly find Ing them so. When we began to adopt the new civilization we had to imitate that which had already had been invent ed. The field was new to us and we had to learn 1t before we attempted to mako any improvements. The fact that we have copied and successfully reproduced so much of the work of tho western na- tions is in itself remarkable. But that Is not all Of late years there have been
 
 of our own make, field guns invented by Japanese, and also our own powder and other explosive. At the close of tho China-Japanese war I thought we ought to be making our own guns. and I spoke to steel superintendent in our employ. He replied that If I would give him the money for the purpose he would organize factory and build the guns
 But said I, the making of guns and armor plate is by secret processes, which no nation will reveal to outsiders. How will you get the information and machin- cry necessary?'
 He replied: If I have the money, am sure I can make the guns
 'The result was that we concluded to try the experiment. We furnished him what he wanted, and we are now building as good guns as those of any other coun try. We are making some of 12-inch and also the shells which are used in them. We are making our own armor plate and are building gunboats. In all of these things we have invented many im- provements It is not fair to say that tho Japanese is an imitator only. He is a creator of remarkable ability"

distinction. We people have different skins from you, but we have the same wants and are moving along the same lines of intellectual life. There Is no ground for war there.
 Lastly, there Is the matter of trade. That belongs to the field of the pocket book and is more connected with the in- dividual than with the nation at large. War will not make people buy your goods, and the moment the individuals of a nation find it is to their injury to sus- pend their relations with other nations they will object. The west and the east are bound together along trade lines, and 1t is supremely ridiculous to talk of wholesale conflict between them"
 The Chinese Alliance.
 Flow about this alliance which is said to be forming between China and the United States?"
 T don't think there is anything in it; for the very reasons l have men toned. The Chinese will trade with the United States just as much and as long as it pays them financially to do so. When 1t does not pay, their business will go elsewhere. Besides what could China contribute to an alliance, offensive and defensive. Nothing in her present situation and nothing for years to come I cannot think that the United States would be so foolish as to think of com bination where it would have to give all and receive so little"
 Japan and the United States.
 What is the attitude of Japan toward the United States, your highness?"
 "It is friendly and I have no doubt but that it will continue so. There have been some little unpleasant things about the treatment of our immigrants and of our children in the schools Of your Pacific slope, but they will not affect the friendship of the two nations AS to Japan wanting to make war with your country, that Is ridiculous. There is no such sentiment among our people. Be- sides. we are a small country, with com paratively~ ~el little wealth. Your country is great in size and its resources are enor- nous. You have vast areas of the most fertile soil, the riches of your mines are

The Lucky Dog.

From Judges Library.
 Once upon a time a dog went to a butcher shop and got a nice piece of bologna for his dinner. Then, with the bologna, he set out for his kennel. Now, it happened in going home that the dog had to cross over a low foot bridge span ming a stream of water. But he trottee along at a good pace, not looking to th9 right or the left, till he was about half way across the bridge, when suddenly his attention was attracted by a frog leaping into the water. The dog turned with bologna in mouth, and gazed into the depths for several seconds: but he could see nothing, only mud.
 Being the Source of the citys water supply, the dogs astral was invisible Thus, by the rarest good fortune, was Shep enabled to go home and enjoy his dinner in peace.

 At Home With Prince Ito.
 Before l give you our conversation, which covered a wide range, both per sonal and political. l would like 10 de- scribe the circumstances of our meeting It was at his new villa. near Omorl, half way between Tokio and Yokohama, that his highness by appointment received me. l took a jinrkisha at the station and two miles on road shaded with pine trees. There were many little shops. temple or two and some beautiful villas along the way. Leaving the road. We climbed a hnl and entered a garden of many acres filled with fine shrubhery, out of which looked several bronze storks and other works of Japafese art. In the cen ter of this was a large building with walls of pine and heavy overhangng roofs This was Prince Itos villa. It has wide verandas running about it and the walls are so arranged that they slide back and forth. permitting many of its rooms to be thrown into one. The building Is mostly one story hut is so large that it covers an acre or more. A sort of tenn ple-liSe projection forms a porte cochere and it was here that l was met by Mr Hlsatsuna Furuya. the private secretary of hs highness, and led into a reception room
 After waiting there a moment I was told that the prince was ready to receive me. We walked down a long hall and entered great parlor, which was carpet ed and furnished in foreign in style.
