yond the city's roofs, beyond the

Only 120 miles from London lies

Miss Genevieve Clark has kept her poise
In an environment and under certain in
fluences which would have turned the
heads of many gray haired men and
women. Since her school frocks were
heightened to her shoe tops the young
daughter Of the Speaker Of the House
and Mrs. Champ Clark has been some
thing Of a national figure. The country
at large has eagerly read everything that
has been printed about her and has felt
an affectionate interest in her comings
and goings. She has had, without seek
ing them, adulation and publicity, yet
she is democratic and sincere.
During the present season Miss Clark is
enjoying with great zest all the things so
dear to the heart of girl. She made her
debut officially New Year day. No for
NAL cards of invitation were issued, but
when the day came the world and his
wife went to pay tribute to the Speakers
daughter. Since then the Speakers
daughter has been in the whirl of gayety
which constitutes every successful debut

Two Heroic Figures.
rom the Quebec Chronicle.

From the Quebec Chronicle.
A Parkman and Champlain memorial
at Ottawa is to be one of the symbols
of the Anglo-American peace celebra-
ton.
Nothing could be more graceful and
appropriate. Though Parkman and
Champlain lived ESQ years apart, their
names are linked imperishably, and are
written in letters of gold in the annals
Of this country.
Champlain made Canadian history;
Parkman wrote 1t; Champlain wrought
the deeds; Parkman immortalized them
1t Is fitting that they should dwell to-
gether. in bronze or marble, in the cap
ital Of the country which claimed their
genius, If not their birth.
The fact that Parkman was an Amer
lean har1nonizes with the spirit Of the
peace celebration. His memorial. like
his work. will testify to the common in
heritance of the British. the Canadian
and the American peoples. It will ap-
peal also to FrenchCanadfans. Tor
Parkman dedicated his life to telling
the story of the French regime In Can
ada And what an inthralling. fnspir-
ing story he wrote! On his splendid
canvas, vivid with all the colors OF
romance and adventure, no figure stands
out so gloriously as that of Cham
plain To the memory of Champialn
and Parkman-both heroes. for one
fought the wilderness. the other waged
a lifelong warfare against bodily IN
frmity-all Canadians should pay
homage.

Business and the Graces Of Life.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
Business in its widest sense of COM
merce and industry is only a means to
an end. 1t is an instrumental activity, a
buttressing and bulwarking Of a personal
and social life that should be bigger and
more important than any of the tools by
which it maintains itself To make bust
ness an end in itself, to devote ones
whole life to it instead of merely safe
guarding ones life by It, is not only a
mistake, but blighting one. For bust
ness inevitably makes demands on a
mans character which would rapidly
scar and scar it IL the contrary demands
leisure did not counterfeit.
A little illustration of this tendency
only a straw in point Of size, but not
without its indicative VALUES given by
German manufacturers. They are send
ing out slips to all their CORRESPONDENTS
asking them to omit all forms of courtesy
in their future correspondence. Terms
equivalent to our Dear Sir and Yours
truly" waste too much time. With half a
mans life spe3t on schedule Of such
severe utilitarianism as that, the need
for a counteracting mood of appreciation.
of the cultivation OF the graces Of life is
obvious The idea of devoting all one s
activities to the demands Of such spirit
and too many men do just that's re-
voting to the most rudimentary sense OF
relative values in human life.

Peter Rabbit Begins to Have

Peter nabbit has been very much ex-
cited when he had seen poor helpless Mrs.
Grouse carried away by Farmer Browns
boy When he had led Farmer Browns
boy to the place where Mrs. Grouse was
prisoner under the hard. icy snow-crust he
had supposed that when he broke through
1t Mrs. Grouse would promptly fly away.
He hadn't dreamed that she was too weak
to fly. And SO when she had been picked
up and carried Off Peter hadn't known
what to think. Somehow he felt quite
sure that no harm would come to her

Checking Passenger Fares.
m the Electric Railway Journal.

From the Electric Railway Journal.
The Stark Electric railway. Alliance,
Ohio, has introduced a novel method OF
fare collection on several Of its interur-
ban cars. One fare box is installed on
the rear platform and another is on the
front platform. When q passenger
enters the car at the rear he drops his
ticket or fare into the box. The con-
ductor hands him cash slip punched
from that station to the destination sta
ton. When the passenger leaves the
car he deposits this slip in the box at
the front end of the car, which is
watched by the motorman. II the pas
senger rides beyond the point for which
his slip is punched, the motorman makes
him pay for the extra length of ride.
The company has this system In opera
ton between four stations out of AL
lance. These stations are designated
respectively as 1. 2, 3 and in large
figures on the cash slip. so that the
motorman can tell at glance whether
the passenger leaving the car at. say.
station 4, has really paid his fare to that
station.

President of Switzerland.
The Boston Transcrint

DoStSA
The election Of new president of the
Swiss republic has passed almost unno-
ticed. for Switzerland is one Of those
happy countries that possesses no aristoc-
racy and no monarch. but just a chairman
OF a set OF business men. He is changed
every year, and has no uniform or priyi-
lego as president. But Switzerland is q
well managed country, and perhaps the
best democracy in the world, though few
who enjoy its hospitality know who man
ages 1t from year to year
A traveller relates this incident: 81 was
once dining with party of Swiss men,
and the talk turned on the government.
The president! I asked his name Not
one Of those alert men could tell the name
o. the head of the government. Then one
called waiter. The waiter was the only
man in the room who knew the name Of
the president. And he knew it only be-
cause the Swiss president happened to be
his uncle
For those who may have read Of the lat
est Swiss election and already forgotten
the presidents name. be it said tina his
present excellency is Col. DIR. Arthur 1Ioff-
man of St. Gall. He was formerly vice
president of the republic and chief Of the
military department. He is radical
democrat.

WILSON T0P[EAD
FOR CANAL TOLLS
Appears Before Congress To-
morrow to Urge Repeal of
American Exemption.

President Wilson will tomorrow adj
dress Congress in joint session in ad-
vocacy of the repeal of the clause of
the act giving American coastwise YES
sells free passage through the Panama
canal.
The expectation today was that the
address will be followed by reasonably
prompt action by Congress granting the
proposed repeal. The address WILL it
is said, be brief but pointed, setting
forth that national honor demands that
the obligations of the -Pauncefote
treaty shall be kept by the United States.
The President will hold that there should
be no debatable ground as to treaties and
that the United States must stand before
the world as willing to carry out the
letter and spirit of all such documents.
Sincerity Questioned.
Since the tolls question was last be-
fore Congress, the President has told
senators that European nations gener-
ally were taking the view that the Unit
ed States had violated the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty. The governments OF the
world, he made it clear, were beginning
to believe that the United States was
not sincere in construction of treaties.
Originally Mr.. Wilson had not intend
ed to deliver a message on this subject
He had conferred with senators and
members of the House, and sentiment in
favor of the repeal appeared to him to
be strong. Some of the leaders. how
ever. were of the opinion that the inter-
national phases of the situation should
be emphasized in a communication from
the President to Congress- to imnress
upon those who had voted for the ex-
emption previously the necessity of
changing their votes regardless of do
nestle questions involved.

In the decision the controller says that

of the government Of contracting for and
Congress of providing the necessary
funds for the construction Of a utility
that was of no use or benefit, for unless
some good and valuable purpose was to
be subserved thereby, Of course, the de-
layed completion of the reservoir basin
could and did not result in any damage to
THE government or to any one Con-
versely, if any good purpose was to be
achieved by the use of the completed
basin. then any delay in completion
thereof was bound to result In damage,
and the fact that Congress was willing
to and did appropriate thousands of dol
lars for the specific purpose of adding a
sedimentation basin to the water system
of the city Of Washington is I think,
to be taken as conclusive of the further
fact that such basin was needed
