CAMPAIGNING FOR LIVES.

An unexpected backyard visit by the
Father of Waters to the farms and
cities of half a dozen states means
more of human suffering than freak
picture in a metropolitan daily of a
Mississippi sidewheeler moored between
a farmers house and his barn conveys.
Rowbo at rescues from second-story
windows, and housetops, sound inter
esting and romantic in stories, but the
intensity of the situation high water
conditions cause is realized by few,
judging by the slow response to the ap-
peals of the Red Cross for the MissiS-
sippi flood victims Hundreds of houses
are so deeply submerged that they are
on the point of floating away. They
are so lightly poised that the waves
caused by the relief steamers are likely
to start them moving In some in
stances when steamers seem careless,
householders bring out their guns and
threaten to shoot the pilot. This gen.
orally has the desired effect of reduc-
ing speed to minimum.

takes that stand when it relieves the
coastwise vessels from paying tolls.
Then why should it refuse the same
privileges to ships in the foreign
trade?
The argument put forth that only
an infinitesimaI part of the nation is
directly interested in ocean shipping
by reason of ownership or employ
ment, is cheap. One of the great OBJ
jects hoped to be accomplished by the
construction of the canal is the de-
of the commerce between
this country and Asia and South
America. If congress is determined
that the United States shall not have
any merchant marine engaged in for
eign commerce, how is that result 10
be attained?
The Panama canal is bringing this
issue before the country in a man
ner which will compel the people TO
realize it's importance and act ac-
cordingly.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-06-07
AN OPPORTUNITY MISSED.

The Panama canal bill which has
passed the lower house of congress has
many good features. One of them is
that American vessels employed in
the coastwise trade shall have the
use of the canal free. But American
ships engaged in foreign trade must
pay the same tolls as ships owned in
other countries, $1.25 ton.
Why American coastwise vessels
should be favored and American
deep-sea ships Disseminated against
is something hard to understand To
be sure there are only a few ships
engaged in foreign commerce which
fly the stars and stripes. The i'm
mense export and import business of
this country has to depend on for
eign bottoms. But those Americans
who have hoped to see the maritime
prestige of their country restored
have seen in the Panama canal pos
sibilities which could be made to con-
tribute toward bringing that result
about
The canal is being built by the
United States at a cost which will
probably reach 100000. 1t is
idle to contend that this country can
not. in all fairness, give its own ship
ping the free use of such a waterway.

With the commencement exercises
at the University of Kansas on June
5, Chancellor Frank Strong completed
ten years of faithful and successful
service for the cause of education IN
Kansas Mr.. Strong has his enemies
or rather. his critics in the state
They are not as numerous as they are
noisy on occasions. But the man who
isn't criticized more or less seldom
accomplishes anything worth while
Naturally, the chancellor is no excep-
ton to this rule.
However, even Mr.. Strong's critics,
if they are at all disposed to be fair
minded, which, by the way. most
critics are not, would be forced to adj
NIT that under his administration the
state university has experienced a
growth and extended its usefulness to-
an extent remarkable in the history
of state institutions of learning. Dur
ing his regime, the average number OF
students attending the university has
been doubled. The amount of direct
service work for the state has been
increased fully ten times. More than
two thousand students have been
graduated from the universits- And
more than ten thousand young men
and women have had the advantage
of one or more years of training
along scholarly and professional lines
Of course a firm foundation for the
development of the university when
the time was ripe was laid by the late
Chancellor F. H. Snow. But this de-
velopment would not have been
brought about on such an extensive
scale had a mere pedagogic f1gurehead
been at the helm during the past de-
cade when the people of Kansas began
to come into their own and were in
position to spare the services of their
boys and girls that they might have
the advantages of the best that there
is in education.
The records that have been made in
the development of the university in
all lines during these past ten years is
all the evidence needed of the ability
of Chancellor Strong as an educator
of keen discernment and command |
ing force. His services to the state
have been invaluable to
Kansas. If they should be brought to !
an end forthwith his name would be
entitled to a place of prominence
among those who have played a large
part in bringing about the wonderful
progress of this great commonwealth. |

get'' but that doesn't mean that she
never forgets anything. On. the con-
trary there are many things which she
forgets with the greatest faclhty, as
for instance, when her mother wants
her to Go some little errand in town;
but there is one thing she most en-
phatically cannot forget for one IN
stant and that is herself.
No matter what she is doing or where
she is: no matter how powerful are the
other attractions which one might rea-
sonably expect to distract her atten-
ton, she keeps right on thinking OF
herself and how she is appearing ana
impressing other people. In her mlnd
eye she is continually upon a stage. and
the rest of the world is continually in
the auditorium.
For instance, a wonderful new baby,
the first born of one of her girl friends
is being displayed to her and half doz-
en- others. Apparently she is the most
devoted and delighted of them all.
She kneels at the baby's feet and goes
into raptures over his adorable hands;
she COOS to him most musically,
and holds out her arms to him, and
pleads to be allowed to hold him just
an instance. One would think that she
had quite forgotten herself in her de-
light over the baby at all-except as
an actor thinks of good stage setting.
HERSELF and how sweet her pose of
baby lover must seem, and she is won
dering if the men in the party are
noticing how deftly she handles the
baby and how prettily she enthuses
over him.
She goes to an entertainment, and
when it is over she rushes up to con-
graduate the committee or the per-
formers. Apparently she is all eager
self-forgetfulness in her pretty con-
gratulations. In reality, the congratu-
lations are a very minor matter with
her. She is thinking primarily of how
prettily she delivers them and how
sweet everyone must think of her be-
cause she always remembers to do
these thoughtful little things.
When she sits. among the audience
at a play or entertainment she ap-
pears to. be absorbed in what is going
on upon the stage Indeed, she makes
most witty and enthusiastic comments
upon it to her compa MONS. Surely
this time she has forgotten herself?
Don't you believe it. All the time she
is wondering if that good looking man
behind her admires her enthusiasm
and hears her witty comments You
see, she is The Girl Who Can't For

The patrons of the long bench just
looking for an argument, says the Os-
borne Farmer, and last week they had
chance to display their ability in
debate on the question of what half
dollar of 1914, possessed by Dan Manages
was worth. Dan has had the coin for
80 years and Judge Trey bantered him
to part with it for face value plus 10
per cent interest for the 80 years, in
terest compounded annually. What
provoked the fiercest debate was How
much is the coin worth today on the
terms stated?'' The value was calcu-
lated by several parties and ranged all
the way from IS to $500. Which was
right?
Here is a story on the early rising

thought he was a liar, and decided tc

up at 2 o'clock and went to the neigh

The Rhodes Graduates.

An interesting addition to the an
nual Rhodes scholarship report is an
analysis of the occupation to which
the scholars have returned after leav-
ing Oxford. Out of about $50 men
who had left Oxford up to 1910, "a
have given themselves to educational
work and sc to law. Doubtless many
of the latter group may enter pub
lie life, which Rhodes perhaps antici-
pated as a probable aim of his
scholars.
So far as American scholars are
concerned, the same may be true of
men taking up educational work,
since a college president seems Just
now within a measurable distance of
the White House, and the influence
of the heads of universities on public
opinion is one of the most charac-
teristic features of American life to-
day.
Our own Indian, consular and
colonial services have secured four
the American diplomatic and consul
lar service two. Nineteen have I'M
dertaken religious work, eleven medi-
cine, nine scientific work, eight bust
ness, five journalism, five mining and
engineering, three agriculture and two
forestry. OF the German students
thirteen have entered the civil and
three the diplomatic service of that
country. All this shows that the dis
tribution of employment in the world
is as wide for the scholars as that of
work in the university.
1t is to be hoped that they will all
carry into every walk of life some of
the large idealism, patriotic spirit and
unflagging energy which character
lied the founder of the system.-Lon-
