Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1910-08-25

When an American city is over
whelmed by the waters of the earth
we sense the disaster, but we do not
regard it as something outside the
ken of our national experience. We
are near enough to the primeval to ac-
cept the acts of nature with some
thing Of the fatalism of the trappers
and voyageurs who used to range the
woods and streams of our virgin coun-
try, But when the flood sweeps down
upon great continental capital the
effect upon us is far greater. We feel
that civilization so ancient, city
that has lived upon its island in the
Seine since the century before the
Christian era began, must have devel-
oped some tough fiber of resistance,
some mere bulwark of age, that would
protect and save it. The desperate
strait which Paris faces to-day teaches
differently. After all, the metropolis
of Europe is no more powerful against
the mighty forces of the elements
than is the little mining town Of
