This man caused the last

His personal memoirs, written
by his secretary, Baron DE

absorbing incidents, especially in
view of the present great Euro

Just a hundred years ago, his ambi-
tions bathed the Continent in sea of

power to remove officials who should neglect
fuse to enforce the law.
An extended opinion by Prescott attorney holds
that any constitutional amendment requires a legs-
lative enactment to make it operative and he cites
several decisions. Yet. there is provision of the
Arizona constitution perhaps unlike any the
situations of the whence these decisions came
and under which, it appears, amendment may
become operative without the subsequent assistance
of the legislature.
Section s. Article ": ANY measure amend
ment of the constitution proposed under the nita-
tive. and measure to which the referendum is ap-
piled, shall be referred to a vote of the qualified
electors and shall become law when approved by 4
majority of the votes cast thereon and upon proca-
nation by the governor and otherwise"
The only of harmony, which is evidently
not fatal is the fixing of the of the effective
ness of the amendment, January l. 1915, when the
constitution declares it shall become law proca-
nation by the governor Unless therefore, there is
other defect in the amendment, other than
by the governor, making the amendment a law
makes it complete law in operation and whose

The chief point of attack, in should

may be necessary to give the law full effect, though
a previous section declares that it shall be effective
on January l. 1915. The prohibitory section of the
amendment is drawn in the form of law; in fact,

CLOSE COST ESTIMATES OF EN-
GINEERS

Comparing the engineers cost esti-
mates of the Panama canal per unit
of work with the actual final cost, we
find that as regards the largest items
the money outlay is very close to the
amount originally estimated. These
cost estimates involved special diff
Iculties, asserts the editor of the En-
gineering News.
The work was Of a magnitude
wholly unprecedented. 1t had to be
carried on at a distance of 1000 miles
from the base of supplies. The in
fluence of tropical conditions, of gov
Iernmental control, of uncertain labor
markets, all had to he taken into
consideration with a view to their
possible influence upon the cost The
work had to continue over term of
years. during which large changes in
market prices of labor and of mater
ials were probable

CHARITY STILL SURVIVES

The san Francisco Chronicle has to its credit
act of genuine philanthropy sending trouf-
ed Europe gift ship laden with toys and useful
articles for the children of war vctims-a Christ
mas offering from the kind hearted people of Cali
fornia. Many persons in Europe will this year we
imagine be inclined to reflect rather bitterly the
significance of Christmas: but the arrival of the
gift ship, bringing tokens of the good will sym
pathy of people living thousands of miles away and
whom they have seen in many cases never
heard of, will do much revive faith in the tender
message which the great Christian festival conveys
and will add one more to the numerous proofs al
ready given that. despite the destruction so much
that has been the pride and hope mankind, the
greatest of all virtues, charity, still survves-British

commissions of 1899 and 1905 and the
actual expenditures upon the canal is
50 interesting and makes such re-
markable showing for the engineering
profession that it deserves wide pub
lefty.
We say per unit of work" which
is, of course, the only way in which
total cost of the canal is, it is true,
far more than was contemplated by
the engineers who made the estimates
for the work; but the chief reason
for the excess Of cost is that a much
larger canal has been built than was
originally planned when the cost esti-
mates We're made.
The biggest single item in the cost
of the canal has been the digging of
the Culebra cut, involving in round
figures about 110.000,000 cubic yards
of excavation. The commission of
1899 estimated the cost Of removal of
the soft rock in Culebra cut at so
cents per cubic yard. The Interna-
tional commission of 1905 appointed
a special committee to fix unit prices.
This committees estimate was as fol-
lows: "Culebra cut all material
without classification above elevation
plus 10 so cents per cubic yard. The
committee therefore fixed upon the
same figure as the commission of 1899
for the cost of the Culebra work.

THE UPLIFT OF A RACE.

agriculture Coming from little

the people could agree to have it.
he regarded his arrival at Calhoun as
the beginning of his school career.

Looking back on his early Calhoun
days he regards them as the begin

course in carpentry, and, after being
graduated from the academic course

hearing the call of the land, he went

cultural course at Hampton, which
he completed in 1910, and was at
once engaged to take charge of the
Calhoun farm.
Under Browns management this
farm provides the school with fresh
vegetables, milk, pork, veal, beet,
corn and hay. 1t serves the agricul-
