CANAL NEARING COMPLETION.

The optimism which inspires the es
innate that the Panama canal will b
ready for opening by January J. 1914
is founded upon the real condition o
the work, 1t is not. received with in
credulity by the public. On the con
trary. there is every disposition
throughout the country to accept the
statement of Colonel Goethals that the
canal will be ready for use in little
more than two years, which is a full
year ahead Of the original forecast.
Not even the occasional reports of
landslips at various points on the
canal cut have shaken the confidence
of the American people in the ability
of the engineers to construct this
work successfully and with the least
delay.
From the beginning of the assump'
ton of the canal work by the United
States every detail has been handled
with the precision OF good organization
First the government undertook ITO cor
rect the traditionally unsanitary cOndi-
achieved in that respect that much of
theskepticsm with which the enterprise
was viewed was removed and spirit of
confidence appeared. When the work
was placed definitely in the hands of
the army officers there was every dis
position on the part of the country to
look for satisfactory results.
1t is highly gratifying that practi.
cally throughout the prosecution of
this work there has been feeling of
perfect faith in the integrity of the
American representatives in the
canal zone. In an enterprise of this
magnitude there is always the posi-
bility of leakage and irregularity, but
so far as appears at present the dig
ging of the canal has been pressed
with virtually no dishonesty on any
account. Compared with the history
of the French company's work in Pan
anna, the American record in this re-
spect is most impressive. hTere has
been nothing in the least comparable
with or suggestive of the graft and ,
corruption that marked virtually every ,
stage of the ostensible work of con
structing the canal under the original
auspices. 6
In the annual report just submitted r
the commission deals with the ques- t
ton of slides and breaks as being
merely one affecting the ultimate
amount of excavation and in no wise
the cause of apprehension on the part /
of those familiar with the work. 1t
has been frequently asserted that
these occasional slips of soil have
menaced the integrity of the canal
but in truth they have been incidental
to the enterprise and have been in al
most every instance discounted by ex-
pectation.
Congress should no longer neglect
the duty of fixing the tolls to be
charged by the United States for the
use of the canal. Ships will be pass
ing through in little more than two
years and no time is to be lost in es-
tablishing the rates. If this fegisla-
ton is secured at the next session Of
congress it will be only in time to
notify all future users of the canal in
season to enable them to compute the
costs of the interoceanic route 1t is
expected that with the opening of the
Panama canal will come material
changes in the courses of the worlds
and it is desirable that as
much time as possible be given to
for this readjustment.

BUSINESS AND THE PRESIDENCY.

| "NO
The New York Evening Post print
a communication from a Boston reade
proposing business man for pres
dent, and predicting that such NAL
in the White House, advised by
cabinet composed of business mel
would give the country an admins
tration from which "every farmer
manufacturer and merchant" would
benefit. And the name of Senate
Crane of Massachusetts, a business
man of unusual success, is suggested
This is a business age, and We are
business people. And business /;
business. Business men are not un
known in politics. Highly capable cab
met officers, senators, representatives
and diplomats have been called te
service from the business world. Two
business men of large experience are
serving with distinction in the pres
ent cabinet Both Mr. MacVeagh and
Mr.. Meyer are widely known and most
influential in the circles of finance
and trade.
We have never elected business
man to the presidency-have never
even nominated such Il man for the
office. Lawyers, soldiers and poll
ticians have had the call. Beginning
with Washington-who, although pos
sessing a fine head for business, as
the management of his large estate
showed, was yet power because OF
his success in war-we have looked
elsewhere than to the business world
when the presidency was under con.
sideration.
In going to the bar, or the barracks,
or to the haunts of politicians. we
have not always selected the ablest
available men in those quarters.
Oftener than not compromise consid-
erations have ruled. With the excep-
ton of Mr.. Tilden, no recognized lead
err of the American bar has ever been
made the leader of his party. With
the exception of Warrington. and
Grant, our soldier presidents, or pres
dental candidates, have never been

American merchant have always been

ave more business now than can be
managed under the old \

peration, but under challenge by the '
eneral public; and the most taxing
roblem of the period is how to d.
orce business and monopoly where a

the following as other fat men will ::
IAN American contemporary states
that ia men find it harder to procure
accident insurance than lean men, the
companies contending that in the
event of fat man breaking his leg,
or spraining his ankle, he is in the
doctors hands longer than a man
, of lighter build, as the injury takes
longer to recover to sufficiently bear
the weight. Hence the indemnity pc
riod is longer. We absolutely dispute
! this contention, believing the heavy
man is usually much better off than
the lighter, provided he is endowed
with q cheerful temperament, and ear
rfes out his doctors 3rde, to the very
letter. In fact cheerful tempera-
: ment, with strict moderation in food
and drink, is likely 20 put 4 man on

The American Girl
The One-ROom Home
By THOMAS TAPER.

IF YOU should watch an architect
drawing the plans of building,
you would soon be convinced that
what he puts on paper is only copy,
or a model of the real thing in his mind
1t is the same with ali things done
by men and women The thing MADE
or done is a copy Of the real thing IN
the mind
Education is attempting, in these
days, to make people more and more
skilful in the mind, that is, more
given to exact thought, SO that when
they begin to make things they snail
show this exact thought.
But mister, this was to be about
the American Girl in One-Room
Home"
so it was"
There is a popular saying, Home is
where the heart is" which suggests
another statement that is more prac-
teal for everyday consumption; Home
is made by head and heart" That is,
with home, head and heart, you pro-
duce something that gives pride, com
fort and the joy Of living
Now, this homemaking question is
big one. Even if it is limited to the
activity of q girl who makes her home
in one room, there is a lot to say.
In a one room, as in a 20 room man
sion. there must be found three orders
/. Those of use, or utility, or con
Q Those Of beauty or ornament.
8. An atmosphere, spirit or quality
that feels homelike when one enters.
And the last should be first.
Now. it is allowed that beauty and
simplicity produce as good, and often
better, results than beauty and a lot
of rich things. No useful object need
be ugly or hideous, but let us as
sumo these are selected and placed
where they belong, what are the
things of ornament
Bricabrac and pictures and books,
as a rule.
OF bricabrac, not much, and each
piece selected because it is simple.
beautiful and appropriate in the
room where the rest Of the collection
is. Thus. hanging q chianu wine bot
tie on a tennis racket or draping
revolutionary war musket, with dry
sea weed seem TO break the rules Of
the game.
When any one is tempted to add an
other piece Of bricabrac to the room.
let her count 10 and then throw it
