for something. He may be a poet
painter or a musician, a delightful
person to meet and to know, valuable
in his function as spiritual guide, phi
losopher or friend. But you would
not place him in charge of a power
house or in the engineroom of steam
ship. In such positions no man is
wanted who has to be walked up, for
sudden arrival from dreamland is
not fitted to cope with a great emer-
gency.. To collect ones wits must
not require the time it takes for an
offertory in a church. 1t is a fine
thing to have brain clear of cob
webs, windows of the intellect kept so
bright and clean that they admit light
at once without the need of the re.
moval of any befogging dimness.
Some people are dreadfully bothered
by the incompleteness and the I'M
success of the horrible past, so that
they are actually crippled and hamper
ed for the performance of their duty
in the thing present. What they have
misdone or left undone hangs over
their heads like sword suspended by
a thin hair, which may at any moment
descend to silt the thin-spun life"
Like dry and dusty archaeologists,
they are often to be found feverishly
grubbing amid the ruins las they
think of their characters and their
lives, when the salvation lies, as did
that of the Pilgrim, in running away
from the city of destruction with their
fingers in their ears. The one who
runs winning race does not pause
to survey the footprints he made on
a previous lap, and in the race of life
it is not worth our while to hold post |
mortems over a dead and buried yes
terday. There are people who cannot /
enjoy this mornings sunlight because |
1t rained last week, and they are still |
resentfuf for that Providential inter
ference with their pleasure. There
are those who seem to love their old
mistakes SO much that they do not
want to make any new ones. They

distressful failures. They are like a
man who keeps his closet full of old
coats and old shoes simply because
he cannot bear to part with them, and
somehow cannot bring himself to be-
lieve that these garments are really
archaic as to fashion and worn-out as
to condition and, therefore, the suita-
BILE prey Of the junk dealer.
On the other hand, some of us are
little too eager to pass on to the next
thing before we have quite exhausted
the possibilities of the thing we have
in hand; to leave the old for the new
simply because it Is the new. We dis
card good and simple songs of the
past in favor of the latest music-haI
ditty; we read popular" novel and
cast it upon the rubbish heap in favor
of the garishly bound claimant for
favor which is more novel; still: one
sort of indoor or outdoor game be-
comes a craze only to be succeeded by
a fresher pastime which captivates
the popular fancy. 1t is with all this
"newfangleness" as it was with the
sufferings of Scotland:
THAT of an hours age doth hiss the
speaker;
Each minute teens a new one."
Enthusiasm is the life-blood of en-
terprise, but the enthusiast who sets
his hand to one pillow after another
without following any furrow through
to the end will win no golden harvest,
nor garner in his barns the produce of

PANAMA CANAL
READY IN 1918
This Is The Opinion OF Chief Engi-
neer.-$5o,ooo,o 900 Will Be
Saved.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Col. George
w. Goethals, chief engineer of the
Panama canal, said today the cana
would be completed by September /
1913, at cost of $S6O,OOO,OOO.
: This is two years ahead of ali
earlier estimates for completion of the
canal, and fully $5O,OOO,OOO less than
many engineers have figured as the
total cost.
Because of the early completion OF
the canal, Col. Goethals urged the
house committee on commerce to pre-.
pare legislation under which can be
fixed shipping tolls for passage of YES
sells through the waterway.
Col. Goethals could not say what
would be fair charge, but thought 81
per net ton of a vessel would be a
heavy tax on vessels using the canal,
but would give the transcontinental
railroads competition on freight from
New York to San Francisco.
Plans are on foot to turn the hall
of the house of representatives over
to Col. Cocktails Monday night that he
may give an illustrated lantern slide
lecture on the canal, the progress of
the work, condition of the workmen,
character of the work and descriptive
scenery in and about the canal. It is
suggested such a lecture would facili-
tate canal legislation.
The cost of the canal, the machine
shops at Balboa, the Pacific terminal,
the coaling stations at Colon, the At
lantic and Pacific terminals and other
supply stations are all included In Col
Cocktails estimate of $360,000,00O as
the entire cost of the great canal. He
also believes it will be impossible to
build a dry dock within the estimated
limit of cost of the canal.
1t is essential, Col. Goethals holds,
that the government control the coal
supply stations SO as to prevent pri-
vate interests, by monopolization of
this supply, indirectly to control the
operation Of the canal through their
rules for fuel. Negotiations are all
ready under way by certain coal COM
panies, he said, looking to the acquire
nent Of land for coal docks.
Col. Goethals also urged the neces-
'ity Of the present congress fixing the
oils on the ground that the worlds
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-02-14

shipping interests demanded at lssst
eighteen months notice of the rates.
The international navigation con-
gress, which meets in London in Ju7e
for the purpose of readjusting world
rates, will probably take up the ques-
ton of the canal, and Mr.. Geothais
declared 1t imperative that they at that
time have information as to the
charges to be made by the govern
ment.
