Few les- sons could be learned by our en neers and stacesmen from studying French methods, Unknown difficul- ies had to be met and new plans de- ed for meeting them, It was done successfully and the fact that the cpening of the canal is assured is a tribute to the genius of America.

Great problems must be solved, with little but reason and in- sunct to guide, Intricate and deli- cate matters of diplomacy as well as giave methods of administration must be decided, Congress h:s en- tered & new field in determining what it shal] decide for the regula- tion of the Panama canal, The an- swer it will make is to mark a new cpoch in United States history and the history of t chworld. Men of all nutions as well as citizens of this country are listening to hear what determination is reached.

The editor of the Orlando Report- er-Star states that he spent a quiet half hour Sunday reading Claude L'Engle’s Dixie. That man's idea of soothing literature suitable for the Sabbath is certainly remarkable, We can forgive Richeson every- thing save the fact that he went and got himself electrocuted at such an unearthly hour that the morning pa- pers were enabled to publish the story before the afternoon publica- tions, Still perhaps we shouldn't bLlame Richeson.

The plan is supposed to turnish fresh, cool air to the labor- ing representatives and senators of the people. Such measures are nec- essary, for the reason that both the House and Senate chambers are en- tizely shut off by outside rooms from any immediate access to the outdoor air.

Miss Violet Edmands. the former fiancee of Rev. C. V. T. Richeson,; who is under sentence of death for ‘:lw murder of Avis Linnell, very sen- sibly undertook to forget her woes by engaging in settlement work in New York. Some people would try to blur such | a shock in the dazzle of gaiety and bigh living. Others would simply sit at home and mope over books or mor- Lid poetry. Miss mands, like the true heart i cf gold she must be, tried to forget her own sorrow through lightening tne troubles of other people, It! showed her to be a woman of grit and fine sentiment, . | Miss Edmands left her home large- | 1y to escape newspaper and other no- | toriety, But even in thronging New York people are still provinciai crough so that they have never lvarned to mind their own business She has had to “disappear” again, but some enterprising reporter will Le able to earn a few dollars and give her pain by tracking her to her next hiding place.
