GETTING HIRAM MARRIED D YOY GET HIRAM MATED Wr ANECE FANCY GOWN, Siace Theodore Roosevelt became president he has done @ good many splendid things, but he never did anything finer than the other day, when he put the “O. K’ Leb beus R. Wilfley, judge of the United States circuit court at Shanghai. Tn the American colony of the Paris of the Orient “the best was like the worst” until Judge Wilfley came over from Manila, grabbed his muck-rake and proceeded to clean up the place. So vile-were conditions that not only had reproach been cast upon the United States in the eyes of the Chinese and the brand on foreign nations, but the very words “American girl” had be- rome a term of degra About that time an received this greeting from a resident of another nationality: “So you're an American. either gamblers, or dive-keepers, or shyster lawy your line?” So proverbially lax had become the control of the United States government over its citizens in this Chinese city ation American citizen arriving in Shanghai rs. Vhat's that the disreputable elements from other countries found it e@dvantageous to claim American birthright Judge Wilfley closed the America ‘American gamblers and disbarred the American lawyers who had been waxing fat at the price of their country’s good name. Then he got what reformers usually get. He was vicious- ly attacked by the men and women with whose graft he had interfered, oifice. Tt didn’t take the president very long to learn that the In ascertain- | } out BY dives, drove They sought his impeachment and removal from charges against Wilfley were utterly baseless. ing that fact, he found out that through the judge's activities there had been wrought a complete reversal of sentiment to- ward America and Americans on the part of the respectable foreign clement in Shanghai. Once again decent Americans were able to look foreigners in the face. Wilfley had not only cleaned up his share of Shanghai, but he had removed a nasty smudge from the flag of his country, and the president did a fine thing when he not only exonerated this fearless judge, but also bestowed upon him the thanks of the nation. oo The Scientific American explodes a recent comparison made between the excavation work on the Western Pacific and similar work on the Panama canal. It is claimed that George Gould, on the Western Pacific, with 8,000 men, moved more earth and rock in 11 months in 1907 than the Panama canal did with 30,000. The figures as given out were that the Western: Pacific had as a recor! 11,000,000 cubic yards re- meved, as against 8,000,000 in Panama. ‘ © {t tarns out that the 8,000,000 cubic yards removed in f Panama refers to the Culebra Cut alone, while the reaf total at Panama during this period is 13,556,000 cubic yards, of f which $8 per cent was rock. Moreover, in the Culebra Cut E work only 5,000 men were employed. This number of men t took out 8,000,000 cubic yards of material as against 11,900,000 t removed by 8,000 men on ‘the Western Pacific i The Scientific American points out that the Western Pa- cific laborers had every advantage that climate can give, while the Panama workers were under every possible disadvantage. Potting the real facts together, the Scientific American con cludes that the comparison is wholly in favor of the Panama canal ft is another case of criticism of public work disappearing when tested by real facts.
