Not far from the Atlantic entrance
to the Panama Canal is a huge pile Of
old French dirt cars, abandoned by
the Americans as unfit for the. great
undertaking started. BY them in
1905. Piled high, one upon the 9TH
er, this mass of rusty and. misshapen
iron stands as a monument to the
heroic but hopeless effort Of the
French, headed by the impractical
Ferdinand de Lesseps, to achieve fame
by uniting the Atlantic and Pacific
with a sea level canal across the
1sthmus of Panama: r..
It was the dream Of Ferdinand de
Lesseps, after his triumphal compile
tion. of the ,suez Canal, to undertake
the construction of a canal across
Panama Financed by the French
government, together with large pri-
vate subscriptions, De Lesseps, the
dreamer, began work on the isthmus
in 1879 Sh1pload after shlpload of
equipment was sent to Panama, while
thousands of men left France to take
up the task of digging a great chan
mel across the isthmus.
De Lesseps plan was sea level
canal, with no locks or dams. The
tiny dirt cars of the French held
scarcely a cubic yard of material.
They were expected to remove all the
dirt taken from the canal, which, ac-
cording to their plan, would demand
the entire channel to be dug sixty feet
lower than the American plan /: re-
CURED. Had all the French dirt cars
on the isthmus been in daily use con-
stantly since, 1880. they could not
have removed the earth required TO
make channel deep enough to unite pit!

Utterly hopeless as the undertaking
was, thousands of the French labor

The Boys in Blue.

This country needs a new sense of
the great debt owed to the boys in
blue. The country owes it to this
dwindling band to smooth out their
declining years. 1t ought to be cas-
Ter for them to get their pensions.
They ought not to be subjected to
the annoying delays and red tape that
they have been subjected to in the
past. Their pensions ought to be
bigger-a dollar a day is not too
much. Moreover, pensions ought to
be paid more frequently. There has
been introduced in Congress bill pro-
viding for monthly instead of quar-
terly payment of pensions, and we
hope it will pass. 1t is to be hoped
that the new commissioner of pens
ions will require that pension mat
tiers will receive more prompt treat
ment than they have heretofore,
when old soldiers have been COM
PEELED to wait week after week, and
month after month, for their pension
claims to receive even preliminary
consideration. Time flies, Whatever
is to be done for the Boys in Blue
must and should be done quickly.

Good Roads Day Proclaimed.

The governor has designated Tues
,oay, June IL, as Good Roads day and
urged that it be generally observed
throughout the state. He suggests
that village councils provide for the
improvement of roads leading to
their town by dragging on that day,
by removing superfuous stone, cut
ting weeds and grass and clearing
the bitches along the roadways; that
commercial clubs and good roads as
sociations cooperate with the villag-
ers, farmers and others in making the
day means something. The proposal
of the Executive is a good one and
should be carried out in some form
in every city, town and village in
the state.

cation that we are about to enter
upon an era of great progress toward
good roads. But, more than laws are
required. There should be aroused
an Intelligent interest in the subject
on the part Of all the people in the
state. The Good Roads day proclaim

human sacrifice was unparalleled in
the history of engineering. Yellow
fever. and other :. tropical diseases,
constantly prevalent over the entire
isthmus, claimed a human toll 50
great that nothing short of heroism
could have prompted the continuance
Of the work. Day after day: the. re-
naming workers would have first to
bury those; who had fallen victim to
the fever before resuming their work
on the canal. t:
How long human endurance would
have held out against the frightful
death rate will never be known; for
salvation came at last to the few who
had not fallen victims to one or an
other of the tropical fevers. De Les
seps' company went bankrupt. "
Well might these cars, so closely
associated with the tragic deaths of
the French canal workers, have been
used as collins. AS the sun sets be-
hind the huge pile of old equipment it
casts it's shadow over the graves of
twenty-five thousand men, sacrificed
in the impractical undertaking. What
irony, that this great pile of aban-
doned cars, overgrown with tropical
vegetation, should mark the resting
place of those whose last days were
spent in vain attempt to prevent the
cars from being abandoned as junk.
