The bathroom boys of Illinois, the

But the devil is being exercised.
Fear and revolt on the part of the |
willing or unwilling dealers with Mr..

such deals were brought home vivid

were learning a thing or two that

Today there exists an awakened
public conscience that is wip1ng out
the '.necessity" for dealing with the
devil. Every deal with him is
crooked deal. What all the people
want is a square deal. Business is
entitled to it; it is equally the pub

Entlrelr Too rimld.

There is such a thing as being too
timfd. Such appears the case in
connection with Colonel Goethal's
request for naval vessels at Panama.
An urgent request was sent by him to
Washington Saturday. yet the country
finds the Washington government
still discussing the request Tuesday
afternoon with no vessels on the way.
1t Is safe to say that the governor
scf the Panama canal zone. the man
who built the greatest canal on earth,
used good Judgment when he asked
for destroyers to prevent violation Of
the neutrality of the zone. The ad-
1ninistration entrusted the govern
ment Of the canal to him and ii ought
to have confidence In his judgment
and his purpose. The various depart
ments at Washington interested in the
matter seem to be suspicious OF one
another and their differences are such
that absolutely nothing has been done.

THE BRAzos RIVER.

Some day a society for the preser'
walton OF beautiful names will fine
what Is known as the Brazos river
in Texas and will restore the lost
words which will give 1t one of the
most beautiful and picturesque titles
that American streams can lay claim
to. And at the same time there will
be disclosed most interesting bill
of history and tradition on which the
name hangs.
The Brazos is unpfepossessine
enough throughout most of the year
being only a narrow stream winding
Its way between low banks of sand
and silt. But, as in the case Of many
other American rivers, the spring
works a Transformation In the Bra

short cuts across its many bends and

miscalledy war stamp taxes, Demo

fine their basis of comparisons on i'm.

no notice whatever OF the fact that
