Canadian Spell binding.

The Canadian spelIbinder now has his
opportunity? What is his quality? How
does he produce his effects? In what
particular, If at all, does he differ from
his American brother? Does a single
touch of politics make all spellbinders
kin?
With us, when a perfervid brother
takes the stump and opens his mouth,
we describe him as making the eagle
scream. He knows how TO work upon a
crowd gathered from here. there, and
everywhere. Not a point escapes him.
His shoutings and his cooings are equally
well calculated. His stories. his quota
tons, his appeals to patriotism, all reach
their destination. His hearers respond
as his voice and manner invite.
The American stumper would rejoice in
such theme as this reciprocity pact pro-
vides. If national campaign were now
on with us upon that single issue he
would be at his best. If in favor of the
pact, he would invest it with such merit
and Importance as would beggar the
language. If opposed TO II. he would
describe us as going to our doom in terms
that would make the thoughtless and
uniformed shudder.
Does the perfervid Canadian brother
make the lion roar? And how does the
sound affect the average Canadian audi
ence? The brother taking the side of, OPP
position to reciprocity has his chance in
this campaign. He can let the subject
proper slide. and address himself to an
nexation. He can bestow all attention on
Uncle Sam and describe him as a land
pirate masquerading trader. We
shall probably see him take up the old gen
tlemans sample case and produce start
ling things from it, after the fashion of
a juggler.
The eloquent Canadians are but little
known for their eloquence on this side
the line, but this campaign should spread
their fame. Sir Wilfrid Laurier heads
the procession of liberal StumperS, and
we shall probably see him in strong fight
ing form. He has everything at stake.
If he can induce his countrymen to in
dorse the pact at issue, his hold upon
power will continue for a long time. But
II he loses: IL his opponents come in upon
a declaration well against the true
issue of reciprocity as against the false
issue of annexation, ne will probably be
done for for life. At his age a statesman
rarely RECEIVERS from a defeat such as
that would be.
While we are having our own troubles
they will not occupy US TO the exclusion
OF interest In the campaign over the bor-
der. American sympathy is largely with
the liberals. We have treated with them
for the freer trade relations desired, and
the instrument they signed testifies to
their sincerity and neighborliness. If they
win, all conditions will be improved and
al relations strengthened between the
two countries.

The Strong-Arm Squad.
From the New York World.

The strong-arm squad organized by Po-
lice Commissioner Waldo for the sup
preston of car and street rowdyism con-
tinues to demonstrate it's usefulness. 1t
has been on duty for a month and has
to its credit 346 arrests and 30S convic-
tions of rowdies, with aggregate SEN
fences of c,745 days in the wOrkhouse and
$50 fines. The seven youths who were
fined $40 each In the ninth court Monday
for creating disturbances owed their ar
rest and conviction to its activity. The
strong-arm squad is composed Of fifteen
members, and the number is increased to
seventy-fve on Sundays and holidays. Its
name has significance which Is not like
ly to be lost on those who are the object
Of its vigilance. and the more its fame
grows the better the prospect will be for
the suppression of rowdyism.

Canal Fertilization.

Undoubtedly the best results will be Sc
cured in the fertilization of the isthmian
canal approaches by intrusting the work to
the canal commission instead Of organic
ing a separate force to prepare the sites
and emplace the guns. 1t is estimated
that at least 81 100000 will be saved by
such a utilization of the existing force
and organization. But beyond the ques-
ton of economy is one of speed and eff
ficiency and in view of the magnificent
work which has been done at Panama
under the direction of the present COM
mission it is practically certain that the
best results will be obtained by combin-
ing the fertilization and the construction
works.
1t has been estimated by Col. Goethals
that the canal will be physically COM
pleted sometime between the LIST Of April
and the 1st of September, 1913 He has
practically pledged himself to turn the
canal over to the government for a for
NAL opening by the LIST of January. 1915.
1t is hoped to have everything ready, in
Guiding the defenses, not with the notion
that the canal will need protection from
the outset but in order to make a COM
plete job of the whole enterprise.
The assumption of the fertilization work
by the government at this time is graft
flying to those who believe that the canal
should be regarded from the outset as a
part of the national equipment. 1t would
never have been undertaken by the
United States government, in all proba-
biuty. as a strictly commercial measure.
1t was the long voyage of the Oregon
around Cape Horn thirteen years ago in
order to- strengthen the North Atlantic
fleet in the face of foreign enemy that
brought the American people definitely
to understand the urgent need and the
vital Importance of this short cut between
the oceans.
The fertilization of the canal is not an
act of braggadocio. 1t is a simple pre-
caution against the misuse of the canal
| against the American interests and for
| its safeguarding to insure its maximum
| of value at the time of it's greatest need.
| 1t stamps the canal before the world as
| the property and the production and the
potential war agency of the United
States. 1t enhances American prestige,
not by menacing any other nation with
hostilities, but by giving assurance to the
world that that which is offered freely
to the commerce of all the peoples never
theless has been created primarily to
safeguard American interests

August Storm Damage.
From the Baltimore American.

Coming with the torrential sweep that
has characterized the rains of this sum-
mer since the drought of last May, the
recent downpours of rain had about them
a spirit of nature lawlessness that made
them not unmixed blessings. The country
needed rain. the city needed 1t impera-
lively for it's reservoir uses; there can be
no question but that the great rainfall
filed a much-felt want. But the sweep
of the storm and the tremendous beat
of the water that came down like cloud
bursts proved too much for the truck gar
dens and the farm products to stand up
against The losses to the farmers will
prove considerable. The railroad wash
outs, the damage to roadways and the
losses upon construction work are but a
portion of the story of the desolatins
force of the tempest.

From the st. Louis Times.

fortunately, the position taken by Mr..
Underwood can be substantiated in q

Bryan has informed the democratic party

1t was not wholly true in the first in
stance. Democrats of one section or an
other have been trying to get rid Of Mr..
Bryan for nearly sixteen years; but he
has hired halls in which to declare that
he was the peoples choice. Afterward
he started a paper in order to convey
the same bit of information to the world
at large. There are still, no doubt, a good
many democrats who continue to be for
Bryan" Nothing could be simpler They
have voted for the peerless one until they
have the habit and they wish to prac-
tice the mistaken policy Of throwing good
