The bishop of Winchester has an.
nounced that the restoration of the
Winchester cathedral is 81 far adj
vanced that Thanksgiving services for
the success of the work Will be held
next summer.
Difficult and very costly works have
been carried on for several Years to
save the historic structure from fall
ing into ruin. The walls OF the east
ern portion had given way. causing
serious cracks in the vaulting, while
the transept walls were affected SIM
ilarly. In the eastern part the walls
were of necessity underplnned and
the foundations strengthened. This
proved a far more costly work Than
was anticipated. for under the gravel
on which the cathedral is built is a
bed of peat saturated with water. 1t
was necessary to employ divers to
place bags and blocks of concrete I'M
der the water, and to use a powerful
steam pump to keep the water down.
Estimates of the cost of the repairs
advanced from $150,000 upwards until
the engineers declared that it would
not cost not less than 100000 to re-
pair the structure. And for this great
sum there Will be hardly anything to
show above ground. Most of it has
been spent in securing the foundations
and stability of the walls. 1t is prob
able that the walls. which have al
ready stood for 500 years. will be
preserved for centuries to come by the
work now being done ON them.

judgment.
1t must be acknowledged that while
Roosevelt is thoroughly progressive,
he is SO broad and so thoroughly Re-
publican that party men Of all shades
OF opinion can support him without
surrendering anything of their views
of party policy. He is. therefore. tho
man to draw strength from all fac
tions and beliefs within the party-is
the n n a to unite the membership
in the contest against the common
enemy. Senator LaFollette proved
that he could not do that. One reason
for the lack of his candidacy to get
a hold was the fact that the attempt
to extend it met in nearly every quar-
ter the demand for Roosevelt. The
idea Of Roosevelt az n possible leader
was 8 vivid and powerful in its ap.
peal that any other nan perforce
dropped into a subordinate position. 1t
was clear hat Roosevelt embodied
more powerfully the progressive plat
form. 1t rested. in fact. on his record
in ONCE and the policies for which
he stands. The pledges Of Governor
stubbs. Governor johnson. Governor
Hadley, Governor Bass and Governor
Osborn. Medill Mccormick. Clifford,
Pfnchot, and others were significant
enough Of what happened when any
comparison vas made Of candidates.
1t is conceded by Senator LaFollet-
te's advisers that he a not no nom-
mated. This is apparent to any one
who Is studying the developments Of
the campaign. Within tho last month
he has lost his best supporter and

AT any rate, scientists are becoming
