HOW THE TREATY HAS BEEN CONSTRUED.

The construction of the Panama canal treaty with
Great Britain which Senator Root enunciated and
which the President upheld in his message to Con
gress differed from all previous constructions and
there many of them.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty construed five
times by the United States Senate to mean that our
coastwse ships should have free of the canal
all domestic commerce has of all the rest of
the canals of the government within the United States
The House of Representatives twice adopted the
construction.
The treaty construed four times by President
Roosevelt and by President Taft The late John
Hay construed the treaty in the same way, and
Senator Root himself. when secretary of state gave
the treaty no different construction 1t should be
added that President Wilson at Edgewater, in this
State, in 1912 construed the treaty to mean exemp-
ton for coastwise ships and that also the
construction given to the treaty by the Baltimore
national convention.
Against all these authorities and the judgment of
such former Secretary of State Olney We have
the construction given to the treaty by the lawyers
of the transconnenta railroads. the British foreign
Office and President Wilson, who has twice shifted
his ground since he made his message to Congress,

A NEW SPIRIT OF SONG.

The concert by John Mccormack, the Irish lyric
tenor at the Palace ballroom last Tuesday night is said
to have been the most successful concert of
the kind given in this city. This is mentioned
not merely matter of curiosity, but because it
marks important event in our civic life 1t has
served to furnish indsputabe proof of the awaken
ing of art spirit here.
The popular outpouring which greeted the great
singer not merely demonstration of regard
from lrishmen and Irish sympathizers to noble bard
of the Emerald Isle. The majority perhaps, of the
vast throng which crowded the great hall were native
Americans, Germans and Italians-music-lovers to
whom only the music counted, which came like cas-
cades of pearls from the throat of the singer.
The event also represents individual triumph
for Mccormack This Apollo of song is accom-
plishing wonders in worldwide uplft. He is doing
something other singer perhaps had ever done
beforehe is taking hold of the heart of the people,
the great common people, and eevatng 1t the wings
of far above the sordid pursuits and affairs of
life The latter of course, cannot thus be gotten rid
Of but they be leavened with the sweetness of
better, healthier view of existence And it is this
leaven which John McCormack's singing supplies

DIR. o. S. Marden. well-known phil
osopher, believes that girls should Gull
tivate the spirit of achievement. The
following is published through the

With the average American girl,

mother We're brought up with the idea
that marriage was a woman's inevita-
BILE goal, and the girl of the past was
not encouraged to have any other am
bition.
The tremendous increase in Ameri-
can divorces during the past decade
is largely due to the idle, aimless
lives of the wives, especially the wives
of wealthy men. Wage-earning occu-
pations were unthought of in the girl S
training and not even limited at in
the fashionable schools.
There has been infinitely too great
emphasis placed upon two different
ideals for the boy and the girl. Every

been calculated to develop his indie

his initiative and qualities which ac-
complish things. Achievement along
the line of definite purpose has been

that when government permits gross affronts to
be given to another government to its flag, and
satisfaction is demanded in the conventional form,
it is the party that has given the afront which per-
forms the expiatory act

at Washington, that this must be joint act, each

if the German the French the British flag had been

All London Is Flying

of flying in France. His sister is also

Grahame- White recalled that Lord
Carberry had performed a fine flight
from Paris to Hendon, and that other
pilots who had graduated at his
establishment included Lord Edward
Grosvenor, Sir Reginald Sinclair and
Sir Bryan Leighton.

flown with me could be numbered by

Here are just a few: The Duke of
Sutherland, Prince Christopher of
Greece, Lord Curzon of Kedleston,
who was one of my first passengers;
Lord Drogheda, Lord Portalington,
Lord Deshborough, Admiral Sir Ed

Sir Richard Paget, Mr.. Arthur Bal

Diana Manners, Lady Portalington,
the Honorable Mrs. Assheton Har-
bord, the Honorable Monica Crenfall

aerial touring will soon be as

the rate of 200 miles a day, and
parties of three or four could easily

Once you are in the air the feeling of
security is extraordinary.

was, however, some delay before the
guard came through the car, which
gave the gentleman opportunity to
look carefully at the package. 1t APP
peared to be a box of small size which
mad been wrapped in a newspaper.
something was written upon the
margin of the newspaper, which had
been so placed over the box as to be
certain instantly to attract the eye.
1t was in these words: This box con-
tains some money that was stolen.
For good reasons i cannot return it.
therefore the money belongs to the
hinder of the box
There was "A queer manifestation
of the impulses of conscience. The
man was in possession of stolen
money, and his conscience would not
let him keep it. Yet his conscientious
scruples were not strong enough to
lead him to restore the money to
those from whom it had been stolen.
But that was not all. The man
who found the parcel was persuaded
that he had right to examine 1t.
He took off the newspaper covering
and found a cigar-box underneath the
paper. He took the box with him
when he left the train and at con-
Venient moment opened it. 1t con-
tanned some $4,000 in bills. This
gentleman's conscience could not per-
nit him to make this confessedly
stolen money his own. After some
thought, he decided to give it as a
benefaction to someone who would
never know that it was stolen money
He did this, thereby satisfying his
own conscience.
Now if anyone can explain to me

nature which are contained in this in

The oak at Dover Point is far adj

branches of the top are dead, some
have fallen and the trunk is hollow,

gypsy moths.
Residents around Dover call this
old giant of the forest the Bound

boundary line between the farms of
John and Thomas Roberts. The
farms were given to the two men by
their father, Governor Roberts, who
settled on the land in 1888. Governor

I'm my experience as an evangelist
| have learned that the promptings of
conscience sometimes lead to peculiar,
inexplicible results" This remark
was made to me recently by William
P. Hall, who is not only president of
large corporation, but is also widely
known as an evangelist, perhaps the
most prominent of the laymen of the
United States who have taken up
evangelistic work.
Il could relate to you many Incl
dents that have come within my
knowledge which justify the state
ment which | have just made to you.
They sometimes lead to the, belief
that none of us fully understands hui
man nature.
Let me tell you of an incident of
which | have never been able to eX-
plain. | learned upon undoubted au-
thority the facts which / am now to
tell you.
"a gentleman of excellent character
was riding, some years ago, in one OF
the rapid-transit subway trains in
New York city. He sat in a seat
nearest the door. After while his
attention was attracted to we'll
dressed man whose appearance was
that of person accustomed to re-
finement of life and whose habits
were good. For some reason, which
he could not explain, the gentleman
of whom l spoke found himself in
constant observation of this man who
sat opposite to him.
''At last, at one of the stations this
man got up and hastily left the car
He was lost to view in the crowd
which had gathered on the platform.
The gentleman who had been watch
ing this man just then discovered a
small package which had evidently
been forgotten by the man who had
left the car.
THE finder took the package with
