Homer Croy appeared in the ST. Louis

GREAT BRITAIN A PURCHASER
Lumber Market in Pacific Northwest
Improving.

Seattle, Nov. 16.-Inquiries for 81
900 900 railroad ties and for 10000, 900
feet of large timber, received during
the last ten days have greatly stimu-
lated the Northwestern lumber situa-
ton and local exporters look for heavy
cargo orders.
The inquiries come principally from
the United Kingdom. The supply for
England has heretofore been furnish
ed from the region of the Baltic, but
that source has been closed by the
war.
Seattle lumbermen said 1t was the
English custom to buy large timbers
and saw them into boards in English
mills.

Beneath these columns is a space divided so as

Fausts

The Faust story, which was represented IN
puppet show given under the auspices OF the Ier-
man faculty and students at Earlham last Satur-
day night, is now so completely out of joint with
times as to appeal to US as mere cur1osl1y.
Yet there day when men hung greatness
over Dr. Fausts experiences with Mephlstopheles.
They saw in this Middle Age legend a symbol OF
their own spiritual struggles and never tired of
Interpreting those struggles by means of it,
So deeply did the story enter into the soul OF
those centuries, so completely was it saturated
with the experience of the multitudes age after
age, number of the greatest geniuses found IN
it an inspiration to their finest work. Goethe,
foremost of cultures apostles, NARROW, Shakes
peare's only peer, Calderon and Philip Bailey
shaped their masterpieces about it. The lords OF
music-Spohr and Schumann, Gounod and Ber-
lioz and Boito-have made it immortal in musical
drama.
Even today, though the world which serves as
its background has vanished forever, the story
has deep significance.
DR.. Faust had learned there were forces in
nature beneath the surface of appearances For
years he sought to grasp them by means of in
dustry and self-discipline. One night, while
weared by his toll, Mephistopheles appeared and
offered to teach him how to get hold of nature S
secrets by magic Faust struck bargain and
was Immediately given supernatural power by
which he was able to gain his desires. But all
the advantages so gained failed to satisfy him in
his deeper salt and he driven at last to re-
nounce Mephistopheles and return to the God
ordained processes of toll and sweat and self
sacrifice.
The learned doctor scorned to follow the la
horious path and sought to capture ife's goods by
{, short cut of his own. How many Fausts there
are today! Fools who scheme to heap up piles
of wealth by whatever means in the fond delu-
sion that it will enable them suddenly to become
possessed of honor. virtue love, happiness and a
true character. They use violent methods to get
themselves suddenly into heaven but are obliged
at last to learn, like Faust, that the things which
alone count are reserved for those only who toll
INCREASINGLY who cling to their ideals and who
never permit their integrity to become compro-
missed.

Panama, one of the districts of the republic,

Inasnuch the desired territory no longer
belonged to Colombia, the United States immedi-
atey began negotiations with Panama and from
canal has ben built.
At the time this transaction was made by
Roosevelt and John Hay, his secretary of state,
the Democrats protested on the grounds that
such an act savored too much of imperialism"
Mr.. Bryan, then an ardent wooer of the presi-
dency, led the chorus of complaint, denounced
Roosevelt as a reincarnation of julius Caesar,
and declared he had "stolen' the territory
1t was to be expected, therefore, that one of
Mr. Bryan's first performances as secretary of
state was to reopen the Colombia question with
las possible.
The noise is made. He has just signed an
agreement to pay $25O0O,OOO as conscience
money to Colombia. If it is ratified by Congress
this nation will go record as having admitted
guilt in it's transaction with Colombia
If Congress agrees to that sort of thing we
predict it will react the present administra-
ton with destructive power. The country will
not stand for it. The country believes that
neither John Hay, Theodore Roosevelt or the
Congress of the United States would have been
guilty of any such crime as this act implies.
If we guilty, the payment of S25,OOO, OOO
in hush money is no way to atone for the deed
The Hague court exists for that purpose. If
we not guilty, disgrace ourselves before

Mr.. BRYAN Accuses Us of Theft

In 1902 President Roosevelt approved an act
passed by Congress authorizing him to purchase
from Colombia strip of land six miles wide to
be used for the Panama Canal. Colombia was
to have been paid $1O,OOO,OOO on condition that
government be given perpetual control of the
territory and the right to acquire the properties
belonging to the Panama Railway and to the
French Panama Company.
This was agreed to by Colombia and arrange
ments were speedily made to complete the trans
action But the prospect of vast sum of
money in the treasury stung every political fac
ton in that troubled republic into a desperate
attempt to climb into power in order to have
the privilege of handling that money. A typical
Latin political warfare resulted.
