A Parrot Witness

In case before the Divorce Court
of Silesia, according to a Paris paper
an unusual question arose. A hus.
band sought divorce from his wife
on the ground of unfaithfulness
He had no evidence in the ordinary
sense, documentary or parole. His
one and only witness was his parrot.
The husband had been away for six
weeks, and, when he returned, the
parrot was constantly saying:
Arthur, my dear Arthur" Then
in louder tone: my sweet; my
heart, my loved one." The parrot
was so persistent that the husband
brought his petition, making a close
friend, whose name was Arthur,
the correspondent. The husband S
counsel demanded the receivabilty
of the parrots evidence, but coun-
sci for the wife maintained that
only a person could be called as a
witness. While the debate was in
progress the wife confessed, so the
court was not called upon to give a
ruling as to whether parrot was or
was not a competent witness. -

Wonderful Natural Bridge

The largest natural bridge in
America, ifnot, indeed, in the whole
world, Is located in southwestern
Utah, not far from the state bound
ary line, and is known as the George
Natural Bridge. Its total length
between the huge natural ahutments
is about 200 feet; the width of the
roadway" Is some IS feet, while
the span in the clear is about 80
feet. From the bed up to the span
is l60 feet. At the bottom flows a
small water course that, during the
long, hot summer months dwindles
down to a mere rivulet. Just what
produced this work of nature has
for some time puzzled the leading
scientists Of the country. 1t could
scarcely have been created by the
wear Of water, unless there was a
very large and swift current flowing
where the little brook is now. The
general explanation given for the
creation of this natural bridge is
that volcanic action, occurring at
some distant period of the worlds
history was the active agency. The
existence of the bridge is of COM
paratively recent knowledge to the
public, though the Indians in that
region have long known that there
was such a work of nature. The
red men often spoke of this bridge
to the early settlers of that part of
Utah, but little credence was ever
given to their stories. About 10 or
IL years ago it was first discovered
by some mining prospectors. 1t is
located in the heart of a very rug
ged region that is difficult of access.
Of late years it has been visited by
a great many tourists and sight
seers. Very recently some travellers
visited this freak of old mother
earth in automobiles, and one VEN
turesome motorist drove his car
across the bridge, passing safely
oyer the yawning chasm. The
stone of which the span is composed
is dark brown sandstone of an un-
usually hard quality, and the thick
ness of the span is 20 feet or more.
Engineers who have made a care
full examination of this bridge pro-
nounce it perfectly safe and secure,
and fully capable of supporting an
immense weight. The span is free
from flaws or seams. Wide World

FIRST SOCIALIST CON-
GRESHAM

Year by year, like an insidiously
creeping tiGe, the Socialist vote has
increased. gaining momentum so
gradually as to be almost imper-
ceptible. The Socialist vote at the
last election was generally referred
to IN the press as SURPRISE" =" but
there was nothing particularly sur
prising about 1t, nor about the fact
that for the first time in the history
Of American politics Socialist has
been elected to Congress That is.
Mr.. Berger, of Wisconsin, Is the first
avowed Socialist who has been ele-
waited to the official representation
of principles unalterably opposed by
the American people.
But the policies which Colonel
Roosevelt mistakenly calls 'an anti
dote to socialism" are, SO far from
curing the evils they are suppose to
correct, only aggravating the symp-
toms. The disease, which has been
working its way slowly throughout
the body polite, has at last broken
out" in the federal Congress-or
broken into it. The decisive repudi-
alton of Colonel Roosevelt's policies
in some strategic sections of the
country cannot wholly disarm those
policies of their malign potency
the wild assaults upon industrial
success; the wholesome confounding
of good and bad in our American
business life; the rabid appeals to
class prejudice; the ranting avowals
of an honesty superlatively superior
to that of the American people as a
whole; the classification of men of
affairs as enemies of the common
good, and of the so-called lower
classes" as the custodians of the
American conscience; the cupidity
of official power directed toward
grinding the last penny of tax and
tribute out of industrial enterprises;
the big cudgel with which the in
dispensible business enterprises of
the country have been belabored;
the arragant abrogation of the
rights of men who have organized
themselves into corporations ns-this
last being the objectionable sin of
this anti-socialistic socialism. 1t is
along these lines that the manufac-
ture of socialistic political creeds
has proceeded under auspices which
have lent a fictitious responsibility
to what would otherwise have been
promptly rejected. A few more
campaigns of this "antidote to So
cialism" and there will be more So
cialists in Congress than one.-Kan-

BIG FIGHT FOR EXPOSITION
sas City Jour-

The matter of the selection Of a
site for a worlds exposition to cele-
brate the completion of the Pana-
ma Canal will come before congress
for decision next month and the two
rival claimants for the honor have
for months past been marshalling
their forces for the final struggle.
Both are confident of winning the
coveted endorsement and both will
have representatives on the ground
to present their respective claims
before the committees of the sem
ate and house.
On the one hand is San Francisco,
the hustling metropolis of the Pa
cific coast, the city which stands to
profit more through the completion
of the canal than almost any other
city in the United States.
On the other hand is New Or
leans, the Louisiana metropolis, To-
Gated on the Mississippi, sixty miles
from the Gulf of Mexico, which
will add nothing to its export trade
through the opening of the canal
and which will derive no direct bene-
fit from it.
Ninety per cent of the exports
from New Orleans go to New York
or Europe, and they will continue
to 20 that way after the canal is
opened to the commerce of the
world. Ships from the Atlantic
seaboard and from European ports,
with cargoes for the Pacific coast
or the Orient will not approach
New Orleans on their way through
the canal, either going or coming.
The great majority of them will
touch San Francisco, and in the
case Of many of the larger ships,
San Francisco will undoubtedly be
made a regular port Of call,
The Panama canal was designed
to promote trade between
the Atlantic coast and European
ports with the Pacific coast and with
the Orient, by providing a shorter
and cheaper route. From a COM
point of view New Orleans
in the canal, compared with
that of San Francisco, is nil.
