Commenting on a reference of Gov.
Willis to the "sad-faced Lincoln"
when berating President Wilson, the
Defiance Crescent-News says: "In
no other great state Of the Union is
the governor, no matter Of what po
1itical faith, playing peanut politics
like the governor Of Ohio is playing
it. It is spectacle to make every
loyal, patriotic citizen of this great
state blush for shame, and help make
a sad-faced Wilson as there was a
sad.faced Lincoln. During the days
when the 'sad-faced Lincoln was be-
ing cruciied by petty politicians for
partisan spite, men in high positions
used their positions just as Governor
Willis is now using his position, but
they have long since been forgotten,
while Lincoln lives on and on. 1t is
safe to say that the sad-faced Wilson
will also live in the minds and hearts
of the people long after Willis has
been forgotten, or remembered only
with pity and shame"

Chief Engineer Of Dodge Brothers De-
clares Public Wants Car with
Standard Value

In reviewing what the automobile
shows brought forth, Russell Huff,
chief engineer of Dodge Brothers,
says:
"One of the impressive facts as re-
yealed by an analysis of the inquiries
received from automobile show visit
ors is the growing respect of the pub
lie for the established models OF mo-
tor cars.
New types naturally have their at
traction, but the serious-minded per-
son looking for real investment, and
who cannot afford to play with an ex-
pertinent, wants model which has
proven its reliability and established
it's worth by long use in the hands of
thousands of owners.
"The keen buyer of today is fully
aware of the fact that proper motor
car values are established and pro-
longed; first by giving the public a
car designed along sound engineering
lines and built of high-grade mater.
lals; ana second, by sustaining this
model year after year and adding per
fected details from time to time as
dictated by continuous engineering
study and manufacturing evolution.
Concentration is the safest and
quickest road to perfection. The en-
viable position of the Dodge Brothers
car in the mind of the public today
could not have been attained without
following these common laws of stan
dardization and concentrated effort.
The cars freedom from shattered sec
ond-hand values confirms it's stability
and is full vindication of the COM
pany's policy"

THE TASK AT PANAMA.

Gen. Goethal's recent report on the history of the Panama canal slides stated that failure to take steps against them was largely due to the opinion of advisory geologists that they would not be a menace. He him. self now thinks that enlarged exca- yations will safeguard the canals fu- ture. He proposes to spend ten or twelve months in clearing away the sides of the cut at certain points near Culebra and to remove 10,000,0OO cubic yards of earth there-a consid- eral amount as the whole original ex- cavation required for Culebra cut was but 1O0,OOO,OOO cubic yards. Never theless the president has. done we'll to ask the National Academy of Sci ence to appoint commission of three geologists, three geophysicists, one seismologist, one physicist and three engineers to go to Panama and study the whole problem with the utmost care. President Van Hise, of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, is to be chair man of the commission. These men will give such a study to the whole problem as it has never had before. Gen. Goethals has described the work of the government geologists as nasty and inaccurate; and, of course, the "innumerable plans for treating the slides suggested by interested and patriotic citizens throughout the country" to which Col. Gaillard once sarcastically referred, were only anna teur schemes. It may now be possible to devise scientific and permanently effective plan of operations.

Parent of WouId-Be Murderers Says Eldest Son lnsane-Would

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-Millionaire Updyke, father of the two young men who were arrested yesterday for con- spring to murder him and their sis ter because they believed their parent was about to change his will, in or der to leave his millions to their sis ter, is endeavoring to have the mat ter hushed up.
 The parent has declared that his oldest son has been mentally unbal- anced for years and will agree to his being confined in an asylum if the au- thorities will permit of the younger son being sent out of the country.
 The younger son, who is only 20 years of age, is declared by his father to have entered the conspiracy for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the plans of his insane brother in or der that they might be frustrated, but this claim is not bourne out by the notes taken by the stenographers who reported their conversations for the police.

OUR REGISTRY LAW.

The ship registry act of August IS, 1914 provided that any foreign built vessel owned by an American citizen, or by American citizens or corporations, was eligible for Ameri- can registry for foreign trade An effort was made in the Senate to re- quire that 90 per cent, and finally 75 per cent, then 66 2-3 per cent, and finally 61 per cent, of the stock of any corporation owning vessels seeking American registry should at all times be held by American citi- zens. Successively the proposed amen dments were voted down until the 5l per cen. provision was reached, which was carried. But after the bill had been in conference, the Senate receded from all of it's amendments, and so the bill was passed as it came from the house. It was pointed out, during the debates on the bill alike by Republicans and Democrats, that foreign-owned ships masquesading as American, because in law owned by an American corporation, but in fact owned by aliens, might cause the government trouble. ,Neverthe- less, the bill was not safeguarded so as to require that the ownership of vessels admitted to our registry should be unquesionably and bona tide American.
 We are not able to say that the ships of the american Transatlantic Company are in fact owned by aliens. Ten or twelve foreign built ships purchased by that American corpor- ation have been admitted to registry. That registry at first was refused by the commission of navigation. who could not find satisfactory owner ship. But secretary of State Lans- ing declared that, under the law, American registry could not be de nied to foreign built ships owned by an American corporation, and so American registry was granted to the

EVOLUTION OF A WORD.

"Hypocrite" Was Once the Title of .
 }'> Pantom,nte Actor.
 Do you know what a hypocrite isi Why. he is u person who uses the church as a cloak to cover graft aud greed aud ali manner of evildOing. At least that is what he was in .the days of our fathers More recently he has taken on another color. different kind of cloak He need npt be a dissem bier merely in the matter of religion Hypocrisy may be practiced in friend ship. in culture. in philanthropy. 1t goes degree further even than that. for the hypocrite may deceive himself as well as his fellow man.
 But how did the word, which Is ob viously compound of ''hypot" meaning under" and the very familiar critic" come to mean person who deceives either himself or other people? This question suggests second one: What is critic?
 The Greek verb from which the noun was derived meant originally to an. alyze. separate or judge So the critic came to be one who had been set apart or judged worthy to plead cause or present an argument. At one stage of his evolution the critic was person who recited the works of the great dramatists. He was all actor-who did not act The gestures were supplied by man trained for that purpose. who went through q sort of pantOmime. while the real interpreter of the part gave the melodiously intoned words.
 The pantomime artist was "hypo' crite" because he played an under part to the critic" Later. when the speak. ing and acting were done by the same person. he was called the "hypocrite.' Now any one who plays a part not his own is prpcticing hypocrisy.-St Louis lobeDemOcrat
