The Disaster at Paris.

In the matter of property loss from | flood, history does rot record disas-
 ter equal to that which the city of Paris faces this morning. Fortunately In our own country the Johnstown and Galveston disasters were terrify- ing because of the thousands of lives l lost in each instance, and the prrper- ty losses at Galveston were enormous; but they in no way approached the magnitude of the catastrophe at Paris
 in the value of property destroyed. No great capital of the world is so unfavorably situated as Paris to con- tend with such conditions as attend
 the present flood The city lies in a hollow, about 200 feet above the level of the sea. and is surrounded
 by low hills which rise to an alti-
 tude varying from 330 to 420 feet.
 These hills, separated by valleys in
 some places, and in other places, by
 plateaus, are encircled' at a distance
 of from two to five miles by an outer
 range of heights. The hollow is a
 small. level plain, known as the Paris basin, composed at varying depths of different strata of gypsum and marls.
 The southern parts of the city are
 built over beds of limestone. which
 have been so extensively quarried as to become a mere network of vast
 caverns. which in some cases scarcely afforded sufficient support to the houses above. These quarries were converted into. catacombs more than a hundreds years ago, and there are deposited the bones of the dead col Iected from the ancient cemeteries of Paris. The river Seine enters the city in the southeast and leaves in the southwest, having divided it into two parts, and having formed two islands, La Cite and St. Louis. More than thirty costly bridges spanned the river before the flood. The greatest damage. according to the dispatches. is in the section of the city lying south of the river. The catacombs, already mentioned, have been filled with water, thus destroying the foun- dations of a vast number of build ings.
 The magnificent sewer system. per haps the finest of any city. has been enlisted by the flood as an ally. The total length of the underground chan nels-some of which were made fa- nous by Victor Hugo in Les Mis- erables' and in other stories of Parisian life-is over 615 miles. They were kept so clean and well venti- lated that tourists take long excur- sions through them, the journey be- ing made partly by boats and partly by electric trolleys The inrushing waters from the Seine have burst these sewers in so many places that the reports indicate the practical de- struction of the system. -
 Aside from the stupendous finan- | cial loss entailedi by the flood, the | destruction of historic buildings, I monuments and bridges will comprise | a loss in which all civilization will | share.

TO PAY ITS WAY.
Promise Is Made That Postal Service
VIII Soon Break Even.

Washington, Oct. 12-"Before the close
of another fiscal year the federal postal
establishment will become self-sustaining
This will be accomplished without curtail-
ing in the slightest the service rendered or
lessening In any respect its efficiency"
This statement was made by Postmaster
General Hitchcock submitting to the
treasury department estimates of appro-
priations for the department for the fiscal
year beginning July 1.
During the last fiscal year Mr. Hitch
cock turned back into the treasury about
S6,OOO,O COO For the fiscal year 1912 the esti-
mates for the postal service at large aggre-
gated $25, 1913 945, an increase of only Sc, $685.
925 over the appropriations for the current
year. This is an increase of only 2.S per
cent-the smallest in many years.
With the postal service able to pay its
own way, Mr.. Hitchcock is convinced that
penny postage" for first class letters is
not the iridescent dream It has been de-
clared. Indeed, he is almost prepared to
assert that one cent postage now is in
sight as a practical business proposition

country, that the methods hitherto OBJ
tanning in making all tariffs for great
many years past, are ineffective in cor
rectly and justly applying the protec-
tive principle as outlined above. We
wish to give proper protection to each
given business and above all, to the
workmen in each given business, as a
matter of right and justice and not
as matter of favor or preference, and,
above all, not give proper protection as
a matter of favor or preference obtain
ed by log rolling. Therefore, we feel
| that there should be a tariff commits
sion, composed Of impartial experts
amply equipped for obtaining not mere
| ly from the statements of interested
parties, but by such investigation as
will satisfy them that the facts are
accurate, information that will enable
congress in each given case to estab-
lish the measure of protection neces-
sary to carry out the principles above
set forth.
Should Form a Program.
Moreover, these Investigations should
form a program, each successive re-
port being treated on its merits, so
that each schedule can be revised by
itself in accordance with the facts de-
Veloped by this commission of impair
tial experts. and without any heed be-
ing paid to any other consideration
than the justice of that particular. case.
This will prevent log rolling, and it will
also prevent the far reaching disturb
ance of business which necessarily
comes when all the schedules are re-
vised in lump.
FINALLY, 1 feel that it should be the
duty of some government body to at
any time investigate conditions in any
particular industry to see whether or
not the workingmen do actually get
the benefit that the tariff is primarily
created to give; that is, to see that the
laborer gets his full share of the bene-
fit of the protective tariff in accordance
with what I firmly believe to be the
purpose of the American people.
"By enacting into law such a policy
as that above outlined, we shall, on the
one hand, do away with the danger of
injury to American industries which
would follow if they were left wholly
without protection from foreign COM
petition. and, on the other hand, we
make it sure that the laboring man
gets the benefit of the tariff primarily
enacted in his interest, do away with
the favoriti5m and log rolling which
under present conditions seem newt
able in the process of tariff making
and make it certain that the amount
of protection granted in each case was
the amount actually necessary to cover
the difference in the cost of produc-
ton here and abroad and not so ex-
clusively as to represent improper
favoritisrn to any special group of men.
st think that the surest way to pre-
vent an agreement is To indulge in use
less recriminations about the past. You
remember the present tariff was made
up by exactly the same methods that
its predecessor was made and that the
Democratic predecessor was made by
exactly the methods that have obtain
ed in tariff making for an indefinite
number of years.
Colonel Roosevelt then endorsed the
plank in the Missouri Republican plat
form which pledges the party to a
workingmen's compensation act.

An Army of College Presidents.

Right in the thick of the EXETER

st. Louis on the Mississippi river.
Fifty-eight years ago this Christian

war, when the college buildings were
converted into quarters for the sol

and graduating young men and
women annually.
are given in arts and sciences, the
Bible and music. Seventeen able in
structors compose the faculty. Three
hundred and forty-nine students have
been graduated from the Christian
university at Canton, thoroughly
equipped with religious training for
life duties. Two hundred and twenty
five ministers have gone out from this
institution.
From time to time new buildings
have been erected and departments
added to keep abreast with the
growth and demands of the school
until there are now eleven modern
buildings.
In 1903 the main building was
burned, but in its stead a still larger
more convenient and strictly modern
structure was erected. Everything to
improve the conditions under which
the students work has been done I'M
til this Christian school is considered
by this religious body to be an equal
to any educational institution in the
west.
Under the able direction of President
Johann, the school has grown from
forty-five students in 1902, when he
took charge until ITS were enrolled
for 1910-1911

members of the faculty and many of
the students of this college are also in

third session, coming from eighteen
states, Canada, and Australia; has sup

When the people were convinced that
he had landed safely they cheered the
colonel wildly, and the guards had ali
they could do to keep them from break
ing to the field and swooping down
upon him. Colonel Roosevelt's first act
was to reach for Hoxsey's hand AMI
shake it vigorously.
'It was great! First class! It was
the finest experience ever have had"
he declared. I wish I could stay up
for an hour. but haven't the time this
afternoon"
Not a bit! Not a bit!' he said.
What were your sensations ?"
ooh, it was perfectly fine 1 enjoyed
every minute of it,
Governor Hadley, with a long sigh
of relief, stepped up to the colonel and
piloted him to his automobile. They
rode down the field past the cheering
crowd, and then started back for St.

spiral glide. LIE Blanc, in his trim lit
tie monoplane, darted back and forth
across the colonel's path like a bee.
On the trip to st. Louis Colonel
Roosevelt stopped to make a short
speech at Clayton, where a great crowd
had collected at the court house.
"I had new experience here in St
Louis county, he said. IT got out
there where the airships wer and went
up in one"
That was news to the people and
they cheered it.

with an American aviator to handle
it," the colonel continued.
From Clayton the colonel drove into
st. Louis and went to the state fair
grounds, where several thousand school
children were waiting to hear him
speak.
"I have had a great time in st. Louis
today" he said. 1T seems to me that
it is a wide-awake town. It is the only
place that ever put me up in the all"
and then he told the children of his
flight.
THAT is why I am late in coming
here to speak to you" he went on. "I
know you children well, and I know
you would cheerfully play hockey for a
week to go up in an aeroplane. SO you
won't blame me for being little late"

| Several members of the committee, it
is stated, have permitted certain rec

which are in opposition to views held

Agitation Causes Special Meetings.
| The agitation over the issues con-

number of special committee meetings

these branch organizations have pre-
pared declarations of principle that will
prove interesting reading when the con-

| Many OF the delegates in Topeka
favor a unif1cation OF the missionary
bodies of the church and strongly OPP
pose a convention system that will be-
come binding on the individual church.
! An equally large number of persons
attending the convention are working
| for better business and administra-
! tive organization of the church, but
can not see the advantage of punching
the branch bodies.
That the situation is acute, is evil
denced by the decided efforts being
made to obtain inside information of
the committees work. The commit
tee holds all sessions behind locked
doors. Even news as to the hour the
report will be given to the convention
is being safely protected.
A few days ago President Ainslee
suggested that the speakers on each
days program cut short their talks in
| order to give more time for the dis

convention. This would allow, Aims

afternoon for disposing of the report.
| None of the speakers felt able to cut
down their speeches, so the first read
| ing of the report, according to pres
ent plans, will be sandwiched between
sessions, and the delegates may dis
cuss the issues when opportunity
offers.
! Whatever action is taken on the
/ Philputt resolution by the Topeka
convention must be later checked up

may revolt and follow out their own
plans. Scores of grim-faced delegates
