live up 20. No matter how hard we
try TO give our readers the news as
II happened, without any personal or
political bias, some coloring OF per-
soltL feeling will sometimes creep in,
But ii is worth the EFFORT 10 try TO
keep il out.
The English papers, all the way
through, don't seem 10 me to realize
this. There isn't paper in Eng
land that isn't furiously partisan one
way or another Even the London
Times itself is swayed by its political
allegiance 10 the conservative party.
And the others ! should think they
would realize that il weakens a news
paper TO be tied hard and fast TO the
duty of explaining and defending all
the actions of any political party, no
matter how good a one.
so your American newspapers 10
me, appear far superior TO the Eng
lish in the quality and the standards
Of their strictly news columns. From
the news standpoints, the American
papers are more complete, more rell-
able and far more impartial. But, to
balance this, there is no doubt that
the EanEtlHn papers Al ktA'A' 'f~N+N--

OF yours"
Japanese politics probably don't in

but Mr.. Naruse was anxious that
Americans should understand just
what the new cabinet under Count
Okuma means.

completed at a cost OF $4,000, receiv.

On account OF a misunderstanding
of directions when the report was re-
ceived, the flremen went to a place
on Wyandotte-st almost a half-mile
away, so that the flames had time to
spread under the fresh breeze that
was blowing from the west That the
disaster was no worse is due 10 the
new automobile engine OF the Wind

statement OF Assistant Chief Clarence
De Fields. who had charge Of the bri-
gade The pressure from the hy-
drants was so poor that il was neces-
sary for the firemen 70 get UP on
buildings TO get any use OF the hose
attached 10 them Much credit for
the saving OF the Oddfellows' temple
was due TO the assistance rendered by
volunteers, who organized an old-time
bucket brigade.
II is not definitely known how the
blaze started, for the Curling clubs
building is not used at this time OF
year Ii is said, however. that boys
have been In the habit OF entering
the place and using II for q rendez-

that they may have dropped a burn
ing match or cigarette stub which
started the blaze.

is TOLD IN BOOK WHICH THE

-EARTHQUAKE SETTLES CON-
TROVERSY.

The recent earthquake at Panama
has demonstrated conclusiVely the
stability of Gatun Dam-that great
structure that holds in check the wat
ers of the Chagres River and forms
the largest artificial lake in the world.
Gatun Dam is nothing whatever like
a mill dam. 1t is not a high, straight
wall of masonry, but, rather an artifi-
cial hill with a gentle slope that is
hardly recognized as a dam at all by
the tourist.
In fact the growth OF Jungle already
is covering 1t over and, as Colonel
Goethals said to a member Of congress
on the Isthmus, Thirty years from
now people will wonder where we put
all the money we spent down here,
for by that time nearly the whole can
al will have the aspect of a natural,
and not an artificial waterway"
The story of the great Gatun Dam
the controversy that waged about it,
now definitely settled by an earth
quake. is told in the most remarkable
book OF the year'The. Panama Canal"
by Frederick J. Easkin.
This is the book the Pensacola Jour
nal is offering to its readers at the
