He decided. however, that it would
be useless to make his decision known
as long as declaration was unneces-

that she would never consent to be his

had been stricken with appendicitis
and would be compelled to undergo
an operation at once. This would
make it impossible for her to sing on

At least twenty books have been writ
ten during the last half dozen years
which contain more sound thinking
and more honesty Of expression on
public affairs in America one is
tempted to say-thaR all the books
written (by Americans) in the last
century. A new type of man, the man
with a Background, is appearing in
public affairs, men who know things
outside Of business, and who can
think. AS Mr.. Wilson himself says:
"a promise Of craftsmanship follows a,
threat of revolution" Mr.. Wilson has
drawn many such men around him at
Washington. Secretary Houston and
Secretary Lane are fine representa-
tives Of the new type. And there are
other men not in office who are m
ploying great intellectual ability in
the solution of public questions, men
like Mr.. Brandeis Of Boston.

The little steamboat Louise, which
made the first passage of the Panama
canal, was first used in Panama wat
ers % years ago, when she conveyed
Ferdinand de Lesseps, his son, and a
distinguished committee OF Frenchmen,
to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The
place where she anchored is near the
point where the works of the port of
Balboa are in progress. The. arrival Of
the Louise with the distinguished en-
gtneer was acclaimed by a large force
Of negro workmen. The vessel re-
turned to Panama and for years was
used by the agents Of the French Pan
anna Canal company in crossing the
bay. When the French company failed
the Louise was for a time abandoned.
When the United States tool over the
project the Louise became the property
Of Uncle Sam, and was RENTED and
refurnished. A movement has been
tsarted in Paris to raise q fund for the
purchase Of the Louise, that she may
be kept as a souvenir.
