No one claims that we have an
ideal government, an ideal Judiciary
an ideal law making body. nor even
an ideal citizenship. But Il nation
which. in a hands breadth of time
historically speaking. has grown to he
the greatest in the world. with the
greatest measure Of individual liberty
must have proceeded along fairly wise
and safe lines
But not according to the views Of
the political doctors. They can see
nothing but ruin and disaster on every
hand For instance, listen to the Hon
orable Joseph W Folk, of Missouri
whose cure for our various ills con-
sists in the election of Mr. Folk HIM
self TO the presidency.
If Mr.. Folk is To be believed, this
country is in 4 pretty bad way. II is
suffering from the devastating march
Of special privilege" The tariff sits
on the shoulders Of the body polite
like 4 veritahle Old Man OF the Sea
Graft and corruption have assumed
cerous growth. Corporations are
about TO do ms To death. The states
are about to lose their autonomy.
And. finally. the malevolent touch of
business has palsied the powers of
the government in every branch.
Now. everybody knows II is the
business OF the people to fight abuses
in government: and 1t should be re-
membered that il is a continuing job.
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty. The body polite cannot afford
To sleep on its rights. But Ia say that
we have suddenly entered upon an
unprecedented era of corruption is as
silly as it is false.
The truth is. we have, in somewhat
modified form. the same problems that
have always confronted the American
itt-pIilt- Anu 81 ifll6 d. iluAilsiii i4siAhAt
remains what it is. we always shall
have these problems.
Every doctor knows how easy it is
To scare the average patient. II a
committee of reputable physicians
should unite in telling Il man that
he has gall stones. liver trouble and
mall nutrition, with signs Of cancer
and incipient tuberculosis, in nine
eases out of ten they could make him
believe it, even though he were in per-
feet health And the trouble is that
when you thoroughly convince even a
well man that he is sick, the chances
arc he will become sick.
That is the trouble with the United
States right now The country is not
suffering from anything 50 much as
from an over production of political
quacks. And the object of these
quacks is to get on the patients pay
roll. That is the sum and substance
Of the whole matter.

No Authority.

William Dean Howells. the Ameri-
can novelist, tells the following story
on himself:
Il got into an argument one o'H
with my wife on the propriety oil
using a certain word in Il sentence.

no right i'm favor of my usage an"

the matter, took the Century nc

FIRST THINGS

The first important subaqueous tun- mel ever constructed was that under the Thames, between Rotherhithe and Mapping, London, which was carried to completion under the direction of I. K. Brunei, a celebrated engineer, who died sixty-three years ago today. The tunnel was commenced In 1925 and was opened in 1243. It was driy- en at places through liquid mud, at a cost of about $6,50O per Hneal yard result of an trrupt1on. The tunnel has length of 1900 feet. It is now owned by the East London railway Several other tunnels have since been constructed under the Thames and improved engineering methods have greatly reduced the cost The first tunnel under the Hudson River at New York was started in 1874 but was long abandoned, and only com pleted in 1906. There are now three tunnels under the Hudson and the same number under the East River In 1872 Chesborough commenced a tunnel under the Detroit River, con- meeting Canada and Michigan but continued irruptions of water led to the abandonment of the scheme. which was only recently resumed and brought to completion. The first im- pOrtant subaqueous tunnel in Anaeri- ca was that under the St. Clair River. connecting Sarnia, Ont, and Port Huron, Mich, completed in 1891
