a lake trip seems 20 have sharpencd
the optimism OF Norman +. Mack,
chairman Of the Democratic national
committee. who visited in Houghton a
short time yesterday In an interview
Mr.. Mack declared, enthusiastically
that the Democrats will carry New
York state, control the next Congress
and elect Democratic speaker in
place Of Cannon. Such exaggeratiOn is
unbecoming a Democrat but a lake
trip is the best tonic in the world as
anyone who has experienced the pleas
ure will attest. 1t puts new life into a
person silver Innings on all clouds and
makes one feel that the future is rosy
indeed. It even makes Democrat
optimistic.

II is announced from Beverly that
President Taft is more deeply con-
cerned at present with regard to the
progress being made in the construc-
ton of the Panama canal than with
any other public question. This
would lead to two differences, namely
that in his estimation there Is no 9TH
er matter of public nature at this
time which compares in importance
with the successful prosecution Of
our work on the isthmus, and that. i'm
his opinion, his administration
through future years will be identi-
fed with this magnificent achieve
ment more closely than with any other,
Whether or not he is right In these
views. the fact becomes apparent To
anybody who gives serious thought to
the matter. that the successful carry
ing out Of our plans in Panama is
of the deepest national moment, ana
that the speedy completion of the
work is of next importance. 1t
speaks well for the far sightedness
Of our chief magistrate and for the
breadth OF his vision that he will per-
NIT nothing OF momentary interest to
shut from his gaze the tremendous op
erations that are silently but steadily
being pressed forward under the di-
rection Of Colonel Goethals. 1t is only
fair TO attribute to the President the
highest patriotic motives in this con-
nection, but it does not detract from
their moral value that sound political
sense may have had much to do with
giving them form. As means of
avoiding too strong a tendency toward
questions upon which his party is d.
tariff, conservation. the spe-
cial interests, etc, etc.-a solid propo-
sition such as that he who has taken
such a great interest in the prosecu-
ton of the work should be permitted
to watch over IT to completion. would
make an issue acceptable to the con-
element Of our population in
1912.
Alarmists may find much basis for
speculation i'm the concern of Presi-
dent Taft over the completion of the
Panama canal when taken in connec-
ton with the disquieting reports
from the far east. But today we are
at peace with the world. For this
reason it will be wise for the United
States to take all precautions nee
essary that no nation commit breach
Of this peace. Conservatively con-
sidered. the Panama canal is one OF
the strongest arguments for peace
among world powers, and the earlier
Il is finished the safer will be the po-
sition Of the United States as a world
power.
At all events, the President Is going
TO Panama about the first Of Novem-
Der. and he will remain in the zone
about twenty days. His purpose is
TO find out at first hand how matters
are progressing, and TO learn just
what is necessary that the work may
be pushed ahead to the earliest pos
sible completion

Their Feud an Old Story

The trouble between Japan and
Korea, of which the latest outward
sign is the uprising narrated in recent
dispatches, goes back a good deal
further than most people suspect. The
Boston Transcript points out that
when the reign of the great Elizabeth
was drawing to a close, Japan was
ruled by Hideyoshi, gentleman with
imperial ambitions worthy Of a Ma
poleon. He thought that Japan was
too small for him, SO he decided to
take Korea under his wing.
That the Koreans were quite con-
tent without his paternal guidance
made no difference whatsoever, jap
anese troops poured into Keorea, and
for several years there was continu-
Gus fighting, in which China took the
side of Korea. The cities of Korea
were sacked and the country laid
waste, and it was not until the death
of Hideyoshi that the japanese re-
turned home, heavy with plumber.
Ever since that time Korea has
regarded Japan with much the same

DIFFICULT TO MAKE CHANGE
Hour foy the Meeting Of Congress Has
But Little Chance of Being
Changed.

During all the years that congress
has been in existence the hour of
meeting has been IL o'clock, noon, un-
less otherwise specially ordered for
some specific occasion. Everybody
recognizes that it is an absurd meet
ing hour; that an hour after the ses-
sion commences, when the most i'm
portant business is being brought up
In both houses, senators and repre-
sentatives leave their chambers to go
to luncheon; that much time is wasted
and that after luncheon the senators
and representatives go to their re-
spective committee rooms; in fact,
the present hour of meeting encour-
ages absence from the chambers and
leaves the business of the two houses
in the hands of the few men. But no
one seems to care to have the change
made. When it would be such a
simple thing to change the hour Of
meeting by a resolution, and it is not
done, it may be apparent to the

WASHINGTON Has a Scare.

Every once in awhile Washington IL
scared into conniption fit, and our
fashionables had a spell of heart fail
ure the other day. John Schlorb, a
butcher, had the smallpox about a
week before going to the hospital.
Physicians who investigated the case
say that there is not much danger of
the disease spreading through the sale
of meat, as cooking would probably
kill all the germs. However, this is
mighty small comfort to his patrons.
The physician had treated him for
chicken-pox, but when a second
Schlorb an dtwo or three others in
their vicinity came down with the
smallpox then the board Of health sat
up and began to take notice.
