Celebrate the Completion Here

The suggestion made by RepresentativeMoore of Pennsylvania at the Commer-cial Grub dinner last Friday night Is onethat not to be lightly regardedThe completion of the Panama Canal willmark an era in American history Notonly will ft demonstrate the engineeringand executive ability of our people but Itwill prove to the world that we canundertake and carry to successful con-

clusion a gftat nterpri e without taint-ing Ita progress with scandal When thework was laced in the hinds of the Enfiineer Corps of the army It was a fprefcone concision that it wOMklbe ener-getically and systemnUcaHy prosecutedand that the largest degree of accomplish-ment woiihi be secured with the minimumexpenditure

Washington te the logical place for celelia tingle completion oC this stupendousworK Panama is too tar away Herein-t NVtiomti Capital there can be con-st a large topographical model of theanal aniH fcere can be gathered not only-

a grej L hniijtber of our own people butropreaerftiJKes iron part of theworN It ti an event be madeas it ought to be made bothintcrnatfoiml If the proposed celebration

halt take the form of an exposition ashas been suggested we can outdo everyprevious similar demonstration if it shalllie decided to erect and dedicate a build-ing which shall be a monument to Ameri-can commerce and shell be repositoryof specimens Of our products then thecvoaskm can still be made one of uni-

The Issue at PrincetonPresident Woodrow Wilson must keep-

a firm hand on affairs at Princeton toi airy through his plans He has strongopposition in Dean West of the graduateshool and the issue is clearly dranIt is whether the graduate school shalll f one of the departments of the largerinstitution or shall be independent to agreat degree

Two gifts for the endowment of agraduate college had been offered oneapparently conditioned upon a site on orrear the campus the other contemplating

location at some distance from theother school buildings In addition tothe segregation of the buildings camethe determination of control and thetonnectkm between the graduates andundergraduates It was ai questionT hot her tbe two should pursue their work

live their student life in separatelousing or should enjoy a more or lessommen experience with its opportunity-for mutual contacts and reactions

Because it woe impossible to unite thetwo foundations or reconcile the two pro-posed gifts the larger one by Mr Proctor was withdrawn President Wilsonwho heW for a proper university controlwon out in the faculty but the dis en

created stilt exist The facultyand trustees hope however to find someform of adjustment whereby the mattercan be settled amicably

Tho Issue is not alone one of graduateswho seek to find a form of life suitable tothemselves practically ignoring the remainder of the Institution It relates tothe freest and fullest development of thedemocratic spirit in the university Presi-dent Wilson is anxious to have a systemof dormitories in which all the studentslull be on an equality ibis would meantho abolition of tho expensive and ex-

clusive clubs whioh have been so markeda feature of Princeton life

Tho quad system which Princeton Istrying to enforce has its counterpart inHarvard and Yale where too same prob-lem of student control exists These In-

stitutions are trying to abolish tho richmens dormitories to which only thePons of wealthy men can belong andwhich take away from democraticfpirit of tho Normal college lifeis democracy In its fullest expression andthis fact is coming to be realised Any-thing which tends In a contrary directio-ns viewed with suspicion by the wisestfducators Man against man with noliandicap or advantage is the conditionwlich Should Da found in every Americancollege When tillS condition ig absentor not gttten opportunity to thrive thecollege will be the loser

Colleges already have been placed onthe defensive They must show resultWhen men of affairs such as Richard TCrane the multimillionaire manufacturercf Chicago writes a book condemning thomethods uses and expenses of the socalled higher education it is time forthe college to take an accounting anti seewhether the criticism is merited or notMr Crane says

President Wilson has taken a standwhich shows him to be in touch with af-

fairs from the larger viewpoint His po-

sition Is a reply to tho criticism of MrCrane Contact with fellowstudonts willprove beneficial and for that matter theprofessors can well heed the suggestions-for pedantry Is no longer looked upon aswisdom Tho oollogo professor must provehis case before the larger jury His opin-

ions carry no more weight than those ofthe successful man of affairs He mustquickly realize this or the inevitable re-

sult will be his elimination from a posi-

tion of honor and trust The dawn of anow era Is seen at Princeton PresidentWilson has taken the right stand

The Valentine

The grownup American of today lackssentiment This can be shown by thetow love letters written by the criterionof publishers anil stage managers whofeel the pulse of the public through thepocketbook and by the matteroffactness with which wo deal with the sentimoots when they are exposed to pub-

lic gazo in the divorce courtWe are fast forcing the children to

become prosaic and tho delights of SantaClaus of the glorious Fourth and of theother occasions whon we should allowfancy to overrule the practical mind areno longer presont in many households

There was n time whon the approachof St Valentinos day brought a thrillto most of us We looked forward to theday when we could pick out the

and most elaborate creation ofthe artist and by its token show ourundying affection for some little maidOr at a still younger period of our ca-

reer we would rummage through thecomics and pick out one that we knew

had the proper sting in it An old maidgenerally our teacher or a crusty bach-

elor would be the recipient of a pennyvalentine in the hope that it wouldcause the tender sensibility to suitor

Of the sentimental valentine there wasa time when the massage it bore wastaken seriously Even now laid away inthe rose loaves of many a feminine se-

cret cabinet can bo found one or moreof these missives of affection The oklfashioned valentine was a good and puresentiment and indicated that chivalry still survived while the admirationwhich it expressed was of a nobler andmore respectful character than is oftenseen in the present day A return to theoldfashioned view would not harm usModern civilization seems1 to domand thatwe should combine the practical and sen-

timental but after all the generationsof long ago can yet teach Us many thingsworth while

uisite rubbers that being the easiestthing it knows anyhow The pipe lintperil stalked the Senate a littlewhile Friday and then tripped merrilyif gingerly and very quietly along to itspassage At tho psychological momentthe Hon Jeff was somewhere else nomatter where Ho was not in tho Senateat least Hence those tears

Tho thing that pesters us is how is theHon Jeff1 going to square this with thefolks at home Shall he oonfass that Uteerstwhile despleod and scorned octopus-is too much for him Shall he admit tohis people that for ways that are darkand tricks that are vain tbe octopus

extraordinarily peculiar that it keepseven tho Hon Joff Davis guessingPerish the thought Doubtless theywould not bolleve him If he did such ishis doughty reputation

But if the Hon Jeff falls asleep atthe switch and permits the octopus tobrush by what rational hope may thecommon people righteously entertain thatthe octopus over will be undone truly

David Rowland Francis known to allUw crowned heads as plain Dave Is

a candidate for the Senatorial toga whichhas been draped around the mere or lessornate form of William Warner Andplain Dave is raising Mister on hisupper lip bussing babies and his righthand involuntarily opens and clenchesat sighting one of the honest yeomanrylIe te the designer sole patentee andonly user of the emotional or Zazahandshake It is an temperamental asa painter in Paris Once ha gets thewarm passionate clutch upon the stur-dy voters paw the sturdy voter willthrow up his hat with his other handand begin to holler for good old Dave

It would be improper and untrue tosay that Francis has handshakes hisway to Missouri eminence But itwouldnt be so fur out of the way atthat Handshaking ceased to be amere form of courtesy with him Longyears ago be elevated It to tho dignityof a science and now It has become anemotion He baa a large soft hand forone thing that curve and cttrta aroundtile other fellows hand with the mel-

And by and by he lots go andthe other party stumbles away smilingfoolishly and hoping it isnt time towake up That handshake has thestupefying effect on tbe other fellowthat catnip has on a cat It te conceiv-able that a cat might be morally certainthat catnip 1s injurious but he figuresthat one more nip wont hurt

Francis has the oneman grapplingrecord of the world He shook handswith every voter In St Louts when hewas elected mayor of that city beingbut thirtyone years okI at the timeAnd then he shook hands with everyvoter in Missouri at least twieo on thetwo occasions when he was elected gov-

ernor of the State And then PresidentCleveland made him Secretary of the In-

terior and he did his best to shakehands with every Democratic voterThen he became president of tho Louis-iana Purchase Exposition Companywhich held a nearworlds fair in StLouis and be shook hands with every-man of prominence that came to the fairand dined with every civic organizationin the United States and did his diges-tive share at each board too And thanhe a tour of Europe and got the

xhibit of horned toads said crownedheads had sent to the show And nowhell either shake his way into the Sen-

ate or the members of Missouris legis-lature will get corns on their fingers

Born flftynlne year ago in RichmondKy Francis went to St Louis wherehe had rich relatives when ho was sixteen yeors old Graduating from

University he fell in love chang-ed his plan of studying law and becamea grocer in order to marry The grocerypromptly failed but Francis went intothe grain commission business piledup a fortune that has continued to growA large part of the success of tho StLouis Exposition was due to his untir-ing work for he gave his time to it utterly for months on end not to speakof a good many thousand dollars ireis suave smooth and courteous can anddoes Work all day and all night when lietakes a job is a clever speaker and agood business man He always likes todo things the polito way but when thatis barred he does them the other wayOne of the things that Missouri likesabout him is that ho likes all the goodthings of life A year or so after hoswung around the royal circle in Europesome American met the late King Leopold of Belgium

bining tho practical with the beautifulIn other words to w greater thor

oughnaes nnd more conscienUoiwnsari inthe manufacture of every kind bo itmachinery wearing apparel luxury orobjects of art

This IB tbe opinion on the subject of1C Steams a prominent manufac-

turer and business man of Newwho was at the New WHlarfl andwho declared himself to be an ardent dis-

ciple of the principles of William MorrisJohn Rutfkin and othw praetleaPuenefactors of humanity of that kind

I am glad to know that right hers In

the Capital of the Nation there II cen-

ter where these doctrines of combiningthe beautiful with the useful are taught-

I am only sorry that the efforts mad bythis and crafts movement are not asyet as thoroughly appreciated by the peo-

ple of Washington as they deserve 16 beThe Morris Ruskin theory IB prac-tically demonstrated every day at theArts and Crafts School in this citywhere a I understand it there areclasses in leather work metal work de-

sign pottery and basketry whereevery department Is under the directionof a master crafUnmn It fs quite properthat Washington the City BoaaUfuIshould have in its midst a school of thiskiwi as the seat of the governmentshould also be the center of every intel-lectual effort

On my last visit this con-

tinued Mr Stearns I went to the PublicLibrary or Carnegie Library as I haveheard it called There my attention wasdirected to the exhibit of the Arts andCrafts School consisting of specimens ofbasketry jewelry design leather werkand other beautiful and useful thingsThey were all done in a masters stylereflecting the greatest possible credit ontheir respective makers My particularattention however was attracted to thespecimens of basketry as that line hasalways been my strongest hobby in factI made basketry the subject of a specialstudy and have quite a collection of alt

of willow work from all parts ofthe world The baskets which If I recol-lect the name correctly were the workof Miss Slason were the most perfectdemonstrations and most beautiful andartistic models I have ever seen

Work as this should be encouraged bythe public and it would only result inprofit and pleasure to everybody If thevarious public and private schools youngladies seminaries and colleges would

arts and crafts courses in theirregular curriculum The movement forthe MIlt of every kind in U e output oruseful articles should receive the pvbtk s

fullest approval and support

The drift of the event thereforeMexico Is steadily in the direction ofbringing her nearer to America com-mercially industrially and financiallyand even politically The possibility ofa President with American blood in hisveins is not so remote as may be imagined by those pot thoroughly familiarwith Mexican affairs DUxs life is samplete lie has accomplished a much aman could accomplish more than mostmen could have achieved AH the Honorand all the glory that could have come tuhim is now Ida Personally he is andyto retire from the duties of his arduousoffice and there is little doubt that hwould gladly lay down the cares of statif ho were sure that his work would becarried on as he and his wise and patri-otic councilors have planned
