Our OPPORTUNITY.

Next month Will witness the infor-
nal opening OF the Panama canal.
The formal opening will take place
next March. Meantime thousands of
tons Of shipping and freight will have
passed through.
The formal opening Of the canal is
anticipated for various reasons. chief
among which is the placing of the
machinery in smooth working order
before the rush from all parts of the
world begins. That il will be a rush
reports OF the canal commission show.
The statistics in estimate are fOrmid-
able and emphasize the worlds need
of the short cut. The canal will prac-
tically bring TO an end the passage Of
the worlds shipping around the horn.
That graveyard Of the seas will be left
TO the coast trade of South America,
the canal will open direct communi-
cation between the eastern coast of the
United States. Europe and the western
coasts of South and Central America.
The mind unfamiliar with shipping
interests cannot comprehend what the
canal means as a solution of the trans
portation problem. Its meaning is
vast and varied. 1t annihilates time
and distance. 1t brings remote parts
of the earth closer together by thous-
ands of miles.
The same problem is presented in
the lake traffic between Chicago and
the east, though the scale is reduced.
The solution is the Erie Michigan ca
nal for which the government is now
making the preliminary surveys. In
stead of thousands the proposed ca
nal will eliminate hundreds of miles
Of travel and prOpOrtiOnate cost for
through freight. 1t will open a rich
territory TO the direct benefits of wa
ter transportation.
The interest manifested in this
great enterprise is not proportionate
TO its Importance. There is too much
apathy on a subject which vitality con-
Germs the welfare of this region. We
should wake up and take notice.

THE EUROPEAN WAR CLOUD.

There would seem TO be too much
at stake 70 permit Austria and Servia
To 90 10 war. The peace of Europe
H. involved. II only Austria and Ser
via were TO suffer it might be differ
ent, but there are larger interests TO
be considered.
The balance in Europe is main
tanned by a double triple alliance or
understanding OF the great powers.
Germany. Austria and Italy on one
side and Great Britain. France and
Russia on the other. These two alli-
ances naturally divide on the line be-
tween Serv1a and Austria, the Slav on
one side. the German on the other.
Then there are minor complications
between Great Britain and Germany
and France and Germany, and be-
tween Russia and Austria. The stu
alton at once threatens and assures
IL permitted to go beyond the local
center Of disturbance the whole Of
Europe would be thrown into an up
rear, and none know this better than
the heads OF the big nations named.
Strong as the animosity between them
is. prudence will long delay the
overt act which would precipitate a
war such as Europe never expert
enced.
Just now prudence appears TO have
been thrown to the winds by two Of
the great powers on which the re-
sponsibility for the peace OF Europe
rests. Germany is encouraging rather
than discouraiying Austria; Russia is
openly urging Servia to fight and mo-
bilizing troops on the frontier to aid
her The surprising and assuring
feature is the calmness and modera-
ton of Servia. The reply to the Aus
trian note is diguifed but concilia-
tory. II expresses regret for the un-
fortunate incidents that have aroused
Austrias ire ard pledges investiga-
ton and suppression OF the hostile
propaganda and finally, if it's reply
is inadequate. appeals to The Hague
tribunal for arbitration.
on the other hand Aus5Tia finds a
restraining influence in the supreme
head Of the Catholic church, who has
implored Franz Joseph mot to stain
his old age with blood" Franz Jo-
seph is apostolic emperor and king
OF Jerusalem. The power of the
church influence may thus be under
stood. 1t opens way through which
the Austrian emperor may gracefully
and with honor and dignity recede
from his advanced position.

anniversary OF the day she and
friend once climbed that same tree
and how this girl met a music pro-
fessor while sitting in that tree, and
elOped with him.
In writing his account Of the af-
fair, Jarnigan referred TO the tree
where all the romance occurred as a
crabapple tree.
How'd you know that was a crab
apple tree?" asked the city editor.

RATIONAL RECREATION.

Ii is customary to associate isola-
ton with distance and to accept with
out question that recreation cannot
be had at home or that a vacation is
not vacation if spent in the vicinity
of our usual haunts and within touch
of those daily tasks which we call
duty and on which we grind out the
better part of our lives.
Not but that they are worthy occu-
pations and essential to human well
fare and call for the highest qualities
and noblest impulses, but that instead
of making them a part of our object
in life we constitute them the whole
thing and reduce them to dem
milton grind giving no thought or
at best second thought TO our mental
and physical selves.
And so, as we were about TO say.
we are so firmly wedged between the
upper and neither millstones that we
cannot see an opportunity for relief
except in absolute escape in the
hope, too often vain. that distance
will lend an enchantment of forget
fulness of the worriments and bur
dens of every day life.

emily affected, but for the average

EXENPLFIED PATRIOTISM.

During the more than four years
of civil war that resulted in placing
on a firmer basis the American union
of indestrucuble states, a goodly num-
Der of patriotic laos of tender years
managed. in one way or another. to
become enlisted as defenders Of the
honor of the flag and the integrity
of the federal government Among
these Hberty-lOving youngsters was
George w. Reeder, who for more
than a half century was a part of the
civic. political and educational life Of
South Bend, and whose worldly ca
reer terminated at his home, 235 y.
Main St, at $50 Sunday evening
Though physical decline made itself
visible for some time, Mr.. Reeder's
actual illness was of short Duration.
In a case of paralysis. death is often
er welcomed than dreaded. Ii was
so in the passing of George W. Reeder
From boyhood 10 early manhood the
field of carnage engaged his time and
attention; from the ardent and i'm
petuous period of young manhood
nearly up TO the rounding out Of the
allotted three score and ten the edu-
cation OF the youth OF the city of his
adoption was his chief occupation.
Both pursuits were followed with a
slngleneSS OF purpose characteristic
OF the man, creditable alike to his
patriotism and To his devotion 10 the
enObling cause OF popular education.
Briefly stated, George w. Reeder was
born at Blaine, Pa. Dec. 10, 1874. At
the age OF Il he enlisted in a Pennsyl-
vania volunteer regiment 10 put down
the rebellion and TO preserve the
union. At the close of the war he
acted upon the suggestion OF the Sage
+ of Chapagua. Horace Greeley, and
followed the star OF empire westward.
He chose as his place of residence the
then struggling city Of South Bend.
Having fitted himself for teaching.
he obtained a position in the public
schools IL was soon discovered that
I he was possessed Of managing quail
/ ties, SO il came about that ne was

school. This he held for many years.

INTERNAL RENEGADEs.

In order 10 tighten the burden on
farmers, France has ordered a per
cent tax on all securities possessed
either in France or abroad by self
eXpatriated persons living in France.
Naturally a great howl is the result.
as few people care TO pay so high a
rate. Some declare they will change
their abode 10 countries that do not
impose such a tax. Some Americans
talk of returning home, as they Will
not stand for such an alleged impo-
sition.
AS to the class of Americans who
left their country to take up perma-
nent residence abroad and 10 transfer
their political allegiance TO foreign
governments, il becomes a question
whether their return would not put
them under the ban of undesirable
citizens" OF their own accord they
deserted the land that gave them
birth and protected them in person
and property so exceedingly we'll that
they amassed fortunes so big as 10

LITERATURE OF AGRICULTURE.

Doubtless there is deal of not
rot written and printed about farm
ing and gardening. 1t must be so to
fill the pages of all the publications
devoted 10 agriculture and the sepa-
ration of the subscriber from his dol
lar though OF course there is much of
value that can be said. The trouble
is that the demand for farm and gar
den literature is so great that many
unqualified persons have taken the
job of supplying It,
There are a number Of standard
publications outside of tine bulletins
and other printed mstter distributed
by the agricultural department, but
for one OF these there are a hundred
which have no more value for the
farmer than a treatise on the papira
OF Egypt. These publications worm
their way into circulation in various
ways and are read 10 a greater or less
extent by those who receive them.
particularly the uninitiated. They
doubles do considerable harm
through the conveyance OF misinfor-
nation and erroneous ideas and their
misapplication to the conditions pre-
vailing IN some OF the regions where
they are read.

are inteliigently prepared and convey

make mighty interesting reading but
as far as any benefit derived by the
average farmer or by the average per-
son who wishes 20 become a farmer
they are about as valuable as the fake
matter sent out by the syndicates.
These publications do not get down
20 brass Jacks. They deal in the lit
erature and romance OF agriculture
and give no satisfaction 20 the man
who is looking for practical informa-
ton. What the agriculturely inclined
people sf the United States need is a

A Wonderful Child.

From the Jefferson principalship he
was transferred to the Linden. In
all he served 33 years as principal Of
two ward schools. His army expert
ence naturally made him a rigorous
diSciplinarian. He had special
fondness for history. and gave the
schools under his supervision the full
benefit of his vast store of historical
knowledge. When advancing years
admonished to a cessation of teach
ing, he was assigned TO the post of
truant officer. Thus it may be said
that a half century of his life was
devoted 70 educational affairs His
official career ended last June.
Mr.. Reeder was twice married.
From the first union resulted a daugh-
ter now residing at Plymouth. The
second marriage was cOnSummated 20
years agO-January 4. 1894-When
Mrs. Martin Mailer. widowed daugh-
ter of the well and widely known pi-
oneer citizen, Mr.. Adam Klingel, be-
came Mrs. George w. Reeder. No chill
dren resulted from this union. -Four
brothers survive the departed, three
of them residing in the old Keystone
state and the fourth having for some
years been extensively engaged in the
contracting business out west. Re-
Gently he became a Temporary resident
of this locality.
The Reeders for many years bore
a conspicuous part in the affairs of
PENNSYLVANIA and the nation. One
of them. Andrew II. Reeder, served
as governor of the territory of Kan
sas during the forties. Refusing to
be made a party TO the scheme TO
foist the institution of slavery upon
that strife-cursed territory. he re-
signed and resumed his citizenship at
EaStOn, Pa. Another Reeder, after
serving with distinction in the union
army, represented the state of Penn
sylvania in the house of representa-
tives at Washington as congressman
at-large. Originally the Reeders were
nearly all democrats. The slavery
issue and the subsequent civil war
landed number of them in the re-
publican camp.
Not so as to George w. Reeder. He
was of the rOck-rOoted type OF demo
crat. For years he rendered valuable
party service without the hope or eX-
pectatiOn OF reward. He was espe-
cially noted for his efficiency and ac-
curacy in taking the poll Of his pre-
cinct. In 1884 he was quite sOlicitOus
that Samuel J. Randall. Pennsylvania
demOcracy's favorite son, be made
the democratic standard bearer in the
presidential campaign.
Mr.. Reeder had for years main
tanned an active membership in Au-
ten post. G. A r. The other organi-
zation with which he AFFILIATED is the
Independent order OF Odd Fellows.
AS a member OF this beneficent order
I he ever bore in mind that friendship,
love and truth should be mans guild
ance in all the affairs OF life.
