THE HUMAN PROCESSION

The first attempt to suppress the fanatical and suicidal features of the Juggernaut car procession, or Rath Jattra, in India, was made sixty-two years ago when the Indian govern ment suspended the state allowance to the temple of Juggernaut, and pro h1b1ted the annual procession unless the car was adequately protected so that fana tics could not throw them selves beneath the wheels. For some years this order was obeyed, but in 1864 a number Of pilgrims were crush ed by the whee4s, and in 1873 a dozen fanatics were '.accidenta1ly'' killed. Since then the Juggernaut car has claimed no victims, and the festival has declined in importance. Jugger- naut, or Lord of the World is an idol, and the main seat Of his worship is at Puri, in Crissa. Juggernaut's s car. in which the idol is placed during the festival parade, is forty-four feet high, has sixteen wheels, each over six feet in diameter, and is so heavy as to instantly crush the life out of those who seek martyrdom beneath it's wheels. Formerly over a, million pilgrims annually visited the god, and for distance of fifty miles the road over which the car passed was strewed with mangIed corpses.

SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

There are aged people now living who can recall the good old times when the pillory, as a, mode of punish ment, was still in use, for that barbar- ous device was abolished in England by an act of Parliament that became effective seventy-six years ago, June 30. 1887. In the United States the pillory was cast into the discard at about the same time, except in the state of Delaware.
 Although long used by most of the countries of Europe, and in Ameri- ca, the pilIory is supposed to have been an invention of the Anglo-Saxons. The 1,iIIoryI consisted of a wooden frame or ecaffoId. furnished with movable boards, resembling those of the stocks. and holes through which the offend- er's head and hands were put In

A digger of ditches is engaged in a useful and honorable occupation but, as a rule, he lives and dies unknown, Tnhonored and unsung. George Wash ington Goethals, worlds champion ditch-digger, is the exception to the rule. The ditch he is now enga ged in digging at Panama will be me- morial that the most powerful mon arch might well envy. If the ca nal is the success that 1t now seems certain to be. the name of Goethals will doubtless go clattering down the corridors of time, and be remember ed long after other distinguished per sonages Of the present are dropped from the encyclopedias. The chief of 7yn-and Brooklyn, remembering Doe will celebrate his fifty-fifth birthday in 1880, and since then has been en- gagged in works Of peace, except for a brief period as chief of engineers during the Spanish h-American war. He has been chief engineer of the Pana- ma canal since February, 1906. He expects to let the water into his old ditch next October. It has been said of Gcethals that his face looks twenty, his eyes forty, and his hair sixty. He is soIdierIy, erect, broad shou1dered, keen-eyed, white-haired, alert and al- ways fit" He thinks of nothing but ''the Job'", and, thanks to a strong constitution and the sanitarians who have cleaned up Panama, he hasn't lost a day through illness.

The first railroad in China, from Shanghai to Woosung, a distance of il miles, was publicly opened thirty-sev- en years ago today. The puffing 1oco- motives aroused consternation and fear in the hearts of the Chinese, and the line had to be constantly guarded to prevent them from tearing up the track. So great was the public clanor that the government bought the road, intending to destroy 1t, but this deci- sion was reversed, and operation was resumed in 1877. In the following year, however the tracks were torn up and all the portable property of the pioneer Chinese railway was re- moved to Formosa. In a few years other short lines were lconstructed, and opposition to the innovation grad ually died out. In 1903 China had $500 miles of railway in operation, and 1,800 miles have been completed since then, while over a thousand miles more are projected or building. A great na- tional system of railways, reaching every part of China, to be built and operated by the government, is one of the proposals of the Republican re- gime. and the working out Of the plan has been entrusted to pr. Sun Vat Sen.

Mir. Beveridge Is Right, There

Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana dis csses at length in The Saturday Evening Post the prospects merger of the Republican and the Pro gressive party.

 There are be political mergers in the United States but they will be mergers which the job seekers and the privilege owners get together and in which those who seek welfare of the coecvity will also get together

Cardinal James Gibbons, of Baltf- more, will celebrate today the fifty second anniversary of his ordination to the Roman Catholic priesthood. The venerable churchInan will enter on his eightieth year next month. He was invested with the princely insignia of the Sacred College just twenty-seven years ago today, June 30, 1886.
 The Cardinal, despite his age, retains lively interest in all the great prob lems that confront humanity. He is outspoken in his opposition to socialism and woman suffrage. and recently re- ferred to the advocates of equal poli- tical rights as noisy, clamorous and spectacular"
 When deprecate female suffrage, am pleading for the dignity of won- an,'' said Cardinal Gibbons not long ago. ''I am contending for her honor I am striving to perpetuate those peer less prerogativee inherent in her sex, those charms and graces which exa1t womankfnd and make her the orna- ment and coveted companior of man. We must remember that, though wom- an does not personally vote, she ex- ercises the right of suffrage by proxy. So powerful Is the influence which a sensible matron exercises over her hus- band and sons that they will rarely fail to follow her counsel, which comes from inspired rather than 1abored req SOning."
