COLONEL It is not likely that there
GOETHALS ever was an appoint
ment which gave such
universal satisfaction as that contain
ed in Mr. Taft's presidential message,
in which he recommends that Colonel
Goethals he promoted as a reward for
his services in connection with Pana
ma. For fidelity, ability, and execu
tive wis'dom, Colonel Goethals has
been. well described as the foremost
American of his day.
But is it not curious that the mom
ent some real work demands a real
man we are all ready to put aside
our vaunted democratic ideals? Or
dinarily, the clamor of the demagogue
is never reproved, or opposed, and
it is the rankest treason to suggest
that any man is too ignorant, too
silly, or too degenerate to participate
in the government of the country,
and to decide on the legal capacity
of a judge, or on the merits of enor
mous problems. But when as we have
said, the occasion demands a man,
competition is none too keene.
There is mighty little democracy
a't Panama, The government is Col
onel Goethals who is a weel presi
dent, congress and judiciary. There
is no appeal from his decision. Ap
parently the Americans at Panama
don't realize they are living under
an absolute monarchy, and fcf they
have any yearnings for politics, or
the franchise, they are wonderfuliy se
cretive about it. Yet there are no
complaints, no quarrels, no parties.
Democracy as an executive instru
ment for (the doing of Panama ca
nals,i doesn't work as smoothly As
does an absolute monarchy. Colonel
Goethals has proved himself a good
Czar.

Universities Are the
! Hope of Liberty
By NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, President of Columbia
., University
CHE university is the home of that freedom' of spirit, which ia
liberty liberty to think, liberty to speak, liberty to teach
always observing those limitations which common sense, right
feeling and a DECENT -RESPECT FOR THE OPIN
IONS OF MANKIND PUT. UPON ALL OF US.
MEN'S' FAITH IN LIBERTY HAS WEAKENED a good deal
in these later years, and on every side and in almost every land it is
now proposed supplant liberty by the medieval instrument of regu
lation. It appears to be likely that we must undergo an experience
of this reactionary procedure until once more its futility is made plain
to everv one. Then doubtless by common consent the search for
liberty and its right exercise will be resumed.
BUT THERE IS NO SIGN THAT LIBERTY IS TO BE DRIVEN
OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY. IF. THE UNIVERSITY GIVES IT A HOME
AND' KEEPS ITS LAMP ALIGHT MAN MAY BE AS SURE OF THE
RETURN OF LIBERTY AS HE IS THAT THE DAWN WILL FOLLOW
THE NIGHT.

For example if you are a boss painter,
and want to make more money out of
your contracts, you send one for one
of these efficiency folks, who straight
way examines your business, and diag
noses the trouble. He has been known
to find that workmen were too tall for
the job they held, in that therewas
waste of money in the time it took
him to bend his length to pick up a
tool. A shorter man would not have
so far to bend with a consequent sav
ing of time. The boss painter would
probably be told that his men were
wasting time by unnecessary motions
with the brush. There is a substrat
um of real worth to the idea, but it
is nothing more than the application
of common sense, which in more old
fashioned days was well expressed by
such proverbs as "Let your head save
your heels." ,
It would almost seem as if the limit
of absurdity had been reached by one
efficiency organization, which is earn
ing undying fame for itself by advo
cating the abolishment of the phrases
of "Dear Sir," and "Yours Truly", in
business corespondence. They claim
that one business house they know
would save $6000.00 in typewriter
wages, ribbons, time, etc. One of the
most serious magazines published
follows the idea to its logically foolish
'conclusion:
Of course men would save time also
by leaving off neckties and buttons
on the sleevs of their coats, many
other conventional things. Figure
up the necktie bill There are about
fifty million males in the United
State's alone. Let us assume that
half of them wear neckties at least
sometimes. If every one of these
twenty five millions have only one
necktie a year and that cost only 25
cents there's a waste of six and a
quarter million dollars a year. Waste?
Of course it's waste. For a necktie
does not keep a man warm.
Follow the matter further. Let us
assume that every onef these twenty-five
million wearers of neckties
consumes a minute a day tying his
tie, you have 365 minutes a year, or
more than six hours. Twenty-five
million times six hours makes the ap
palling total of 150 million hour? a
year wasted tying ties. You may fig
ure it out for yourself how many life
times are thus consumed.
Nor does the matter end here. Con
sider the number of persons who are
engaged in the making and selling of
neckties. If they were all released
from this useless labor and were put

to the bitter end and you'll presently

END OF A LIBEL Once when it
ON TEXAS was said, or was
said to have
been said, that "All Texas needs is
Society and water," the ready answer
was that "That is all they need in
hell." This bon gon mot traveled the
and so far that finally the tradition
grew to the point of attributing the
answer to Gen. Phil Sheridan. The
point is immaterial now, for the ex
cellent reason that both fine society
and water are to be found in every
part of Texas. This could not have
been said as late as half a dozen
years ago. Not until after the sale of
a part of the great estate of Texas
school lands had sent agriculturists
and horticulturists it to the Pan Han
dle country, once sacred- to cattle
raising, could the wayfafling man in
that land though not a fool, have been
convinced that there was unfailing
water there.
. It was known how; the cattlemen
watered their herds. The cowboys
knew their Pan Handle and its con
formation, and that the small lakes
forming in the depressions could be
depended upon as a source of water
supply for a good part of the year.
For the rest, they knew the trails to
the headwaters of the Red, Canadian
and Brazos rivers,and there were al
ways the breaks and draws to fall
back upon. They made shift to wa
ter their stock, but in dry seasons
they made many long, hard drives to
do it. Out of the necessities of the
cattlemen was born the discovery
that there was unfailing water at
varying depths beneath the surface
of the Pa Handle lands, and the
sinking of wells and the building of
windmills solved, the cattleman's
problem. ...
When the homesteaders came, they
soon found that . the cattlemen had
been digging too deep in many cases.
Digging all over the Pan Handle has
shown that in many places water can
be struck at depths varying from 3
to 50 feet, while some oihe stock
wells had been run down as far. as-250
feet. The best use the homesteaders
are making of their discovery of wa
ter near the surface is in the forma
tion of irrigation districts served from
wells not more than 500 feet in depth
This is considered the maximum
depth at which water can be lifted
economisally for irrigation on a large
scale. In most cases water is struck
at aless depth. If the Texas water
tradition had not died long ago, such
developments in the Pan Handle
would kill it. For th ePan Handle
and the South Plains adjoining it
hate been the only parts of Texas
which might make the sojourner sus
pect it to be true.

BANDIT IS SLAIN
BY NEGRO PORTER
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 24. To
Walter Daniels,- a negro porter of
Kansas City, should go the credit for
saving the valuable consignments- in
the "through safe" of the express car
of the St. Louis & San Francisco
train, running Oklahoma City to Kan
sas City, which was held up near
Chandler, Okla., last night, according
t0 passengers on the train who arriv
ed here this morning. Daniels shot
and killed the Negro bandit while the
later was robbing the express.
According to passengers, the rob
ber fist entered the chair car, where
he held up the conductor, took his
watch and money, and compelled to
lead the way to the express car. The
robber was trying to force the express
messenger and conductor to open the
large safe, when Daniels, who had se
cured a revolver from a passenger,
shot him in the back. Several shots
were exchanged before W. S. Gordon,
a private detective, reinforced - the
porter.
Wounded, the bandit fired wildly
from the floor. Eighteen shots were
fired before the negro lay still. The
body, unidentified, was taken back to
Chandler. '
"That porter was the only one of
us not scared to death," said George
Peterson, of Tulsa, a passenger, who
was in the chair car when the bandit
held up the conductor. The porter
sneaked into the next car and got a
revolver, while the rest of us were
under the seats. "

It is understood that Mrs. John Hay
was summoned from Washington.
Mrs. Whitney obtained considerable

A HARMLESS REMEDY, MADE
FROM GARDEN SAGE, RE
STORES COLOR TO
GRAY HAIR
A feeling . of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as heralds of advanced age. Gray hair,
however handsome it may be, makes
a person look old. We all know, the
advantages of being young. Aside
from the good impression a youthful
appearance makes on others, simply
knowing that you. are "looking fit"
gives one courage to undertake and
accomplisu things. So why suffer the
handicap of looking old on ac
count of gray hairs, when a ' sim
ple remedy will give your hair youth
ful color and beauty in a few day's
time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as a color restorer
and scalp tonic as well. Our grand
mothers used a "Sage Tea' for keep
ing their hair dark, soft and luxuriant.
In Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy we have an ideal preparation
of Sage, combined with Sulphur and
other valuable remedies for dandruff,
itching scalp and thin, weak hair that
is split at the ends or constantly coin
ing out. A few applications of this
valuable remedy will bring back the
color, and in a short time it will re
move every trace of dandruff and
greatly improye the growth and ap
pearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the differ
ence in your hair after a few days'
treatment. All druggists sell it, un
der guarantee that the money will be
refunded if the remedy is not exactly
as represented.
