The Difference.

Suggesting a bond issue as the
easiest way to make provision for ma
tional defence-that national defence,
by the way which Mr.. Wilson. only
eight months ago. told Congress had
not been neglected-the Houston Post
says: I'VE obtained the money for
the Panama Canal by selling bonds.
Why can we not obtain money for de-
fensive works in the same way" We
can obtain money for defensive works
by selling bonds, without doubt. But
that is not 1.-The same way" that we
obtained money for the Panama Canal.
1t is true that when the canal bill was
passed. it provided for the issue Of
bonds-sS75, 100000 of bonds, in fact.
But the Republican Administration
which built the canal never found it
necessary to issue all these bonds.
Under the wise fiscal provisions which
Ire characteristic of Republican rule,
1t was found possible to pay nearly all
the cost Of the canal from current
revenues. The figures are impress
sive and Illuminating. We have spen.
more than $3s3OoO,OOO on the cana,.
and nearly s359.00O,OOO of this is re.
imbursa BILE to the treasury. In other
words, under Republican practice.
$359,00000 were available from treas
ury receipts for the building Of the
Panama Canal. Under Democratic
practice a demand for a natural pro-
bond issue.

disagree as to the efficacy of the pro-
posed remedies. If every one would
behave, be good, and obey the COM
mission down through a generation or
two, the plan might work, but it is
mighty hard work to make this old
world see that which is good and cling
to it. The commission finds that in
dustrial unrest is caused by low
wages, and that low wages are the
result of lack Of strong labor Or
CARNATIONS. The remedial measures
recommended have been made the
tool of political factions for many
moons and have been as much hated
as loved.
These are not the days when the
people will accept free salvation, and
they distrust the most plausible ad-
vice.

THE States" It is an unhappy STU

The truth about our country is that IN
many parts, notably at the South. the
masses of the people, white as well as
black, do not come up to the ordinary
world-standards Of civilization. TheIe
is no one test for this more vital than
the law-abiding temper of people.
Lack of self-control, readiness to take
the law into ones own hands. wheth.

Of barbarism; if the courts are not Ell

any privileged community Of our land
look down too condescendingiy upon
disgraced Georgia. What happened
there might happen in any quarter OF
our land. Shortly before his death
Professor William James. psycholo-

or worse, should take place on Cam

this dangerous law-breaking ten
dency among US is Strengthening OF
public opinion and determination that
lust laws shall be enforced, and that
law-breakers shall be punished. But
our American people are mercurial;
they feel a public emotion deeply-for
a brief season-and soon forget It;
sympathy for the victim of brutal
murder is soon supplanted by sym
pathy for the brutal murderer. When
a riot occurs, arrests are made ana

thing it formerly demanded, and the
guilty prisoners are given light SEN

sentiment that is growing. If we re-

her defiance Of the rules of men and

should sever relations with a state
that glories in such devilish travesties
as the Frank trial, followed by murder

a race-hating populace. States should
