FROA O7HER PENS
LOCATION OF HEAVEN.

1t is not an original thought with
captain Macmillan Won Erdmansdorff,
who has written a treatise on the sub
ject, that the planet Jupiter is the
heaven of the souls that leave our ma
terial world. Such an idea is as old
as the thought of heaven itself and as
widespread as the human race. The
thought has come to probably every
person of intelligence that somewhere
amid the mighty spheres that nightly
reveal themselves is the heaven to
which the faithful are looking forward
the New Jerusalem of the life eter-
nal. Probably many thousands of
these persons have also settled in their
minds that if any of the planets is
heaven, then that one is Jupiter. the
giant of the planetary system with
which we are best acquainted.
OF course, it is all a matter of
theorizing and speculation, but so are
all things which are beyond the juris-
diction of sight, hearing, touch, taste
and smell. The thought of heaven,
the abode of the blessed, is based upon
faith and hope, and there is as much
reason for believing that heaven is
located on Jupiter as anywhere else.
The vastness of the planet is an an
swer to all objections as to size, and
there argument must cease, for the
greatest of telescopes would be train
ed upon Jupiter in vain If efforts were
made to learn any detail of its fitness
as the Paradise that is the longed for
goal of neutrality-suspicious. Chronicle

IF CANAL WORKERS STRIKE.
A strike of large proportions among
the workers in the employ of the PAN
ANA Canal commission would be diff
ferentiated in interesting particulars
from the type of big strikes that, I'M
fortunately, are still only too common
in the United States.
The canal strip is practically under
rule Measures looking to the
suppression of disorder ought easily to
be enforced. Furthermore. practically
all the inhabitants of the strip are
canal employees. Presum ably, strikers
would promptly leave for their homes,
If they no longer desired to work, and
in the event that they did not leave
voluntarily they probably could be
compelled to leave.
Yet government is undoubtedly at
a great disadvantage when it is the
party against which a strike is waged.
That is one of the reasons why many
persons oppose an extension of govern
ment activities to pursuits accustomed
in the past to be carried on under
private auspices. The purely industrial
issues of a strike can readily be made
political issues when a government is
the employer. and government in
fear of election reverses may be in
clined to yield through political pres
sure what it would not be apt to yield
otherwise, and perhaps ought not to
yield.
In the event of a widespread strike
in Panama, the United States govern
ment would be confronted with the
same problem with which the French
governmen has been confronted in re-
cent months. 1t may be instructive to
contrast the respective wisdom and de-
shown by the two in deal
ing with the problems.-St. Louis Re-

NIonarchs in Exile.

Philippe, Due d'Orleans, for example
A handsome, well-set-up man, with
strong features. dancing eyes, and a
pointed beard of the prevailing Paris

by nature, and generally he goes after
big game. Now and again he slips
into Paris to see few loyal friends
through a haze Of cigarette smoke. In
some retired cafe he confers demo-

class he must look if he is ever to live

The authorities in Paris generally
know when he is there. But, unless he

liberating Dreyfus from DeviPs island

fus agitation, when party feeling ran
high, and the man in the street was
spelling for fight, he tried to work up
a Bourbon sentiment on his personal
behalf. The result was that he had to
cross the English channel in a hurry,
never stopping in his fight until he
reached Twickenham, where he could

STATE IMMIGRATION BUREAU.
The progress of the campaign for the

After all, why should they not?

CUBAN GRATITUDE.

The Yankees spent millions of dol
lars in freeing the Cubans from Span
ish oppression. Are the Cubans grate-
full? On the contrary, they hate us
cordially.
In Havana recently there died a man
who was VIGOROUSLY at the head of the
white slave traffic in Havana. He had
accumulated great riches in his trade.
and deserved no honors from the public
when he died. Yet Havana gave him
the greatest funeral which the city has
seen in years. Why did the masses
turn out and pay eu1ogistic tribute TO
this degraded character? He had in
the last two or three years been the
head of movement to drive the hated
Yankees from influence in Cuba He
had denounced Uncle Sam early and
late, and had appealed to all the class
hatred in the island. At his death the
populace forgave his villainy, and pro-
nounced him the greatest patriot in
the land because he was such a good
hater himself and catered to their
hatred of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Globe.

Lord Rosebery, one of EngIand's

Tariff reform looms large as a politi-
cal issue in England these days Just
as it does in the United States But the
tariff reform being urged in England
concerns the installation of higher and
protective duties. while the tariff re-
form urged here is for lower duties. In
other words, no people seem to be sat
lsfied with the existing tariff conditions
under which they live. nor is it likely
that they ever will be, regardless of
whatever changes may be made in the
various tariff systems. A tariff that is
acceptable to one crowd and one set of
interests will be Objectionable to others.

pile. My friend, the owner, bounced
in and fired the driver for not playing
