PANAMA CANAL LOCKS.

1t is impossible to convey in words
anything approaching an adequate
conception of the picture which the
series of locks, with their massive,
towering walls, and their equipment
OF colossal gates, presents. 1t defies
description, as it does the camera,
even in this wonderful modern de-
velopment, and can be portrayed only
by the inspired pencil of a Pennell. 1t
il stupendous, prodigious, overwhelm-
ing-even these adjectives are made
quate. As | stood above them recently
with a distinguished engineer who had
been strenuous advocate of a sea-
level canal, l asked him if he could
conceive of safer place in which to
put a great ship than inside one of
the locks and he replied without hesi-
tation or equivocation that he could
not
When the time comes to operate the
canal this fact will be demonstrated
SC clearly that all the world will recog-
nize it, Every device that human in
genuity can conceive has been adopt
ed to secure safety for the vessels u.s.
ing the locks. In the first place, no
vessel will be permitted to enter or
pass through them under its own
power. The worst accidents which
have occurred in locks hitherto have
been due TO an engineer in the en-
gine-room misinterpreting a signal

snEIK UL ISLAM ON MARRIAGE.


From Constantinop,e, and from no
less a parsonage than the Sheik ul
Islam, archpriest of the Mohammed-
an faith. comes a new contribution to
the much-worn but seemingly never
outworn discussion of marriage and
divorce. Derived from a different
civilization and a different religion.
his views are naturally diverse from
ours. but are not necessarily devoid of
light.
The purpose of marriage. says the
Sheik, is happiness. "If a man and
a woman have made a mistake in
marriage they should not perpetuate
it. Perhaps each could make anoth-
er person happy" He is quoted as
saving: ''The Moslem is permitted to
marry more women than one, under
strict rules and regulations: the result
is a general monogamy. The Chris
trian is forbidden to marry more
than one woman; the result is wide
spread polygamy and immortality"
The Shiek argues that marriage as
regulated by Mohammedanism follows
the law of nature. the law of logic.
and therefore the law of God In our
system he can see nothing but vi
olation o. me natural order with con-
seauent ir ,licity and family dissen-
sion. It is to be noted, however. that
he Judges us W our precepts rather
than practice. overlooking that our
divorce courts in providing outlets for
old infelicities give opportunities for
| felicities anew.
One kind of human is much like
another. Marriage is a matter on
which everybody disagrces except the
+. husband and wife that love one an
! other. It was made for them, and
them only. in New York or Stamboul.

function OF the Anglo
Saxon everywhere had been that of
leadership. He pointed to the pre-
dominance of English and Scotch
blood in the American presidency and
of the same strains in addition to the
Irish in American mayors, members
of congress and presidents of educa-
tlonal institutions.
All this is true, and it is probable
that full study of DR.. Pages speech
will show that he went further. For
he has most remarkable opportunity
to exhibit America to the world as the
greatest melting pot of racial strains
in the history of civilization. We
have fallen into the loose habit of de-
claring that the Anglo-Saxon pre-
dominates in America. But does it?
Go down the line of city directories
from Portland to Portland, not to
mention the census digests of the rural
precincts, and you will be startled by
the sprinkling of foreign names that
appear. 1t is true that English,
Scotch and Irish surnames appear in
abundance. But close analysis of the
families back of them would show
strata drawn from the four quarters
of the globe.
The students in our own country are
for instance. beginning to recognize
that the north, the east and the wes'
have largely lost their -domin'
ant Anglo-Saxon character. 1t L
freely admitted that the south is to
day the great reservoir of the Anglo
/ Saxon strain in all its purity. Ever
| here, its racial integrity is beginning
to yield under pressure of aliel
strains from Europe, not those strain
that have just come over, but from
families long resident in America.
All this is inevitable, and it is heal
thy. So long as we keep separate,
the higher and the lower races, sucl
as those of different colors, and tn
races that are hopelessly antithetica
racial admixtures are beneficial. Am
erica has, indeed, become the meltin
pot nation of the world. Into it ha
been poured the best ingredients cas-
up by the tests and the ordeals of his
tory The completed product is, W
think, yet to be evolved. For, Will
there are clearly defined America
types and traits, it is difficult to pu
ones finger on the man or woma
that combines them. That is com
ing. When it arrives. it will be all tn
sturdier and more virile for the search
ing attention we are today giving t
the questions of health and eugencie:

For whom are goods roads built?
II is a broad question and permits of
much room for diff
Good Roads Are ference of opinion.
For Everybody. There is one theory
that roads should
be built with a sole aim to local uses
while the opposite contention is that
the tourist should be given consider
alton.
There are two states located side by
side that have taken opposite views
of the question. Vermont believes in
road building for local purposes and
is striving to bring the average Of
country roads up to a good standard.
New Hampshire on the other hand Is
building through roads at great ex-
pense. The Vermont idea of the New
Hampshire policy is that it is mis-
take and the New Hampshire view OF
the Vermont policy Is that the Green
Mountain states is old style and sell
fish.
The true solution of course lies in
a combination Of the two ideas. Be-
yond a question it would be folly for
a state to establish roads merely with
a view to accommodating tourists,
many OF whom will not be sharing at
all in the expense of the roadmaking.
At the same time the opposite idea
can be easily overworked. 1t would
be poor policy to spend money i'm
proving side roads that are but little
used and neglect the improvement OF
trunk roads. 1t is sensible to argue
that the most used roads should be
the first TO be improved and to fol-
low such policy will serve both To-
cal and transient travel. There should
be no reason why people who really
want good roads should fall out over
the question as 10 whom the roads are
intended to serve. proper road
policy should be broad enough to bene-
fit everybody.
