l It has taken man some six
thousand years to comprehend
bta capacity to control and ren
der obedient i to his will the
cej of natnre; in fact he does
not yet fully ' comprehend the
meaning of Moses, when he said
Man shall have dominion over
all the earth." Power to con
trol living things was ' learned
to a limited degree during the
ttrst period, in the "infanoy of
the, race, but to utilize the phe .
nomina which we call the forceB
nature, exercising control
over them, making them obedi
ent and useful servants of his
will aud contributors to his hap
piness, came after man had dug
wild roots, fished and hunted in
nakedness for centuries without
fire.
Unoonsoioas of his regal dig-
uity as lord ' : of creation man
rembled, in the presence of tbe
forces of - natuie for centuries,
regaiditag'tbem . as manifeata
tionr of the 1 presenoe of gods,
goddesses, demons and nymphs.
For how many centuries man
shivered in' the cold before he
learned to' control and use fire
is a mattecof conjecture, but
from traditions that have reach.
ed us through ancient mythol
ogy it is believed' that it was a
great while, before man could
kindle a' fir, that , is take a pile
of dry sticks an i sp manipulate
them that the" dormant hoaf
therein became a DM where
with he could warm his ' body
or cook his foodN Fire?' wasv;a
wonuer, a deep myBtery,'? to oar
ancestors. The spirit or' intel
ligence which .'they believed
oontroled.it they; worshipped as
a god, whose home they believed
was in or ratbet was the sun
the source of ; all life, heat and
light. It is quit! probable that
the first religion' on earth was
tbe sun and flre worsbip.
The deep peals': of thunder
from theaileut sky told out an
cestonrthat a god? was soaring
above them in mid'air.and tkey
made haste to win Ms favof by
devoutly 'worshiping bifn1,
. Thus it was concerniug all the
forces oi feature. Thed were re
garded by the ancients as the
speoiai property of their 1 gpds
and subordinates, and fbrman
to use them was fekhr to sadre
lige. '

man has-4 ventured" .'exland'.'bls

rapid as has been bis his strides
of conquest, much remains yet
to be done before it own be truly
said that we isake this last cap

THE PANAMA CANAL
Judge Parker, in his letter 6f
ceptancei saya: " ;
"The nrethods' by which Exi-
ecutive (meaning Roosevelt)' ac
quired the, Panama OanaL, route
aud rights are a source of 'regret
to many." ' The ' objections
urged by : the, Democracy .to
Rbosevelt ' acts in - acquiring
"the Panrma Canal ' route and
rights" vaguely , hinted at by
Judge Parker - are, first that
Roosevelt favored the' revolution
of the people of Panama again st
Columbia, and second that after
the reuolution had succeeded he,
Roosevelt, with undignified
histe, acknowledged Panama as
an independent state, , : The first
charge da really a compliment to
Roosevelt,' The second if it has
anything in it bears equally on
long list of tjie leading nations
of tbe world.
The United States reoognized
Panama on Nov 13 1903, Erance
