A STORY AND ITS MORAL.
The fresh air propagandists have
never had a more complete demon
stration of the soundness of their the
ories than they are getting now in
the case of Charles W. Morse. Mr.
Morse, ii will be remembered, was in
the directory of the Knickerbocker
and other New York banks whose
failure is "said to have precipitated
the financial stringency of 1907.
There is excellent reason for believ
ing that Morse had unwittingly made
himself the chosen victim of a sacri
fice, because of his arrogance and un
popularity and his constant echo of
the old Tweed question of "What are
you going to do about it?" The in
terests had found Morse and his
methods too heavy a load to carry.
At any rate, the Morse group of
banks v ent into partial liquidation
and Morse himself was indicted un
der what looked then, and still looks,
like a determination on the part of
men of sense in large affairs to wipe
him off the map. His conviction was
easy, because, for a long time, he
seemed vnable to realize that he was
in danger. He convicted himself. And
the court, as courts generally do in
such cases, imposed a sentence of
marked severity. He began serving
this sentence in the federal prison at
Atlanta, but he had not been in that
place naif a year until petitions for
his pardon were in circulation. All of
these were incontinently turned down
by, Mr. Taft, who, being familiar with
the record, could see nothing in the
career of Morse calling for executive
condoning. Therein he coincided with
the opinion of all intelligent people
who had followed the Morse case.
When a pardon was seen to be out
of the question the appeal was made
for commutation. It was represented
at Washington that Morse 'was dying,
not slowly, but surely, and quickly,
under stress of the confinement of
prison life. At first the president
failed to hearken to these pleas.
Finally, convinced through the repre
sentations of physicians and others he
believed to be reputable, that if Morse
was not quickly taken out in an auto
mobile he would have to be taken out
in a hearse, he signed a paper com
muting the remainder of the Morse
Canal Tolls May Be Too High
to Attract Foreign Trade
By CLAUDE CASIMIR-PERIER,
81
HETHER France and other European countries can op
erate through the Panama canal will depend, of course,
upon the canal TOLLS and the cost of coal. This latter
will loom large in figuring out the conditions by which
trade will be influenced.
Until now coal on the western coast of South America is three or
four times dearer than at European ports. Take the Mediterranean
ports, where coal can be had for an average of $4 a ton, and compare
it with Valparaiso, where it is from $14 to $16 a ton. The coal at
the latter port is mostly imported from England, though some small
shipments come from Australia.
IT IS A QUESTION WHETHER THE TOLLS WILL BE SO LARGE
THAT THEY WILL OFFSET ANY SAVING IN TIME AND COST OF
OPERATION OVER THE SHORTER ROUTE.
If there is a canal charge, say, of $1 a ton, the dividing line mak
ing one route as cheap as the other would be Callao, far to the north
ward of Valparaiso. In other words, with the added expense of a
canal cli;.rxi' the steamship going through the canal could OXLY
no AS FAR AS CALLAO FOR THE SAME COST OF OPERA
TION" that the other vessel, having no toll to pay, could come through
M;igol!in, go to Valparaiso and then on to Callao.

Photos by American Press Association.
ONE of the most Interesting personalities at the recent conference of the
Democratic national committee was Colonel James M. Guffey. against
whose election as member for Pennsylvania William Jennings Bryan
made an unsuccessful fight In appearance the colonel is more a
southerner than a Pennsylvanian, a circumstance explained by the fact that
he spent part of his youth In the south, where he acquired the habit of wear
ing broad brimmed soft hats and flowing neckties that has clung to him even
since he became a millionaire oil operator and mine owner. His oil Interests
are probably more extensive than those of any other individual producer em
bracing holdings In Texas, Kansas and California as well as in Pennsylvania
The photographs of the two colonels were taken during a recess of the con
ference, which was held In Washington.
sentence, and the prisoner went free.
And now reports all agree that, under
the influence of fresh air and outdoor
life, Morse is being saved to the
world. His color is returning. He
is eating his meals regularly and with
increasing appetite. He sleeps sound
ly. He is, in every physical sense, a
new man. We look to see the fresh
air cult make the most of this signal
demonstration of the utility of its
central idea, wh'ch, it would appear
from the face of official and profes
sional records in Atlanta prison, has
snatched Charles W. Morse from the
grave by taking him out of a restrict
ed atmosphere into the fresh air of
heaven. It has saved him to high
finance. Moral: Always leave your
windows down at night ,even in zero
weather.
It seems that some badly tainted
money had got into the Woodrow
Wilson war chest before Mr. Watter
son inadvertently began mentioning
the names of donors. Up to that
time evertyhing was grist that came
to the mill.
If all the money in circulation in
the United States were equally di
vided it would give a present per
capita of $34.G1. This is not one of
the facts that figure in the dreams of
socialism.

I remember a dream written. I think,
by the late Myrtle Reed that has stuck
In my memory.
- A dissatisfied young man dreamed
that he was In a great factory. The
belts were off. the machinery stopped.
There was rubbish on the floor, and
the people stood about complaining.
Each wanted the other's Job. ,
The shipping clerks wanted to cut
out the samples that were sent out in
big envelopes. The girls Who cut out
the samples wanted to draw the de
signs. The designer wanted to be doorkeep
er so he could get more air. The man
who oiled the machinery wanted to
wash the windows for a change. The
busy messengers wanted to run the
machines. And so on.
Suddenly a strong voice called out,
"Each of you back to his job:"
- Hesitatingly the workers obeyed.
Presently all was harmony. Each was
doing his work, and doing it welL
Then as they worked, dreamed the
dreamer, the spirit of love entered into
them, and tbey began to sing at their
tasks. Each of them not only did his
own work, but helped his neighbor.
Instead of cotnplnining each was eager
to do and to help.
The dreamer awoke.
He knew it was. only a dream, but
the teaching was plain. If each one
of us did his work in tile spirit of iove
and cheerfulness there would tie har

here.
