jxU KlaL APATHY.
The country never passed
through a political campaign in
which ptoplt showed so little
concern as marks the present one.
Even in the states where the par
ties are most active popular en
thusiasm is not greatly in evi
dence. This condition has been as
cribed to Several causes. . Some
assert that the people have
already determined what party
ibey will support and are quietly
awaiting the 8th of November
when thev may express their
choice at the polls. Others be
lieve, it is because the people are
so well satisfied with the present
administration of national affairs
and so confident that there will
no change from present policies
they find no reason tor discussing
any change of party and party
purposes. 1 1
Yet others deciare we are so
absorbed in monev-eettine, so
uermeated with a low. mean,
selfish spirit of commercialism
that we are dead to all sense of
onr civic duties.
It is probable that all of these
things contribute mere or less to
the seeming apathy shown so far
In the campaign. There can be
so doubt that thousands of voters
!have decided which candidate
they shall support The press,
aided by the telegraph, the fast
train and rural mail delivery dis
cusses very political principle
and policy involved in the cam
mign and conducts the discus
sion at every man's fireside.
Much or tb,e old-time concourse
and noise and emotional effer
vescence, which is usually named
enthusiasm, aie displaced by
uiet earnestness.
Doubtless the mass of plain-every-day
people are satisfied
with the. conduct of affairs, see
-no real issue at stake, desire and
fear no change of policy and ad
ministration. They may appear
lobe apathetic but there is no
evidence that, when the oppor
tnnitv comes, they will fail to
record at the polls their satisfac
tion with existing conditions.
While it may be admitted that
onr industrial and commercial
porsuits and the quest for "the
almighty dollar" are well nigh
all absorbing, and that a large
and increasing number of men
appear to have forgotten their
civic duties as American citizens,
it is not yet true, and we fondly
hope it never shall be true, that
the mass of American freemen
have become so steeped in mere
mercenary commercialism as to
neglect the sacred duties of citi
aenship. We firmly believe that our peo
ple are well satisfied with the
splendid results achieved tnrough
Republican principles and poli
cies; that they have unbounded
confidence in the courage, hon
esty, fidelity, wisdom and rugged
American ideals of Theodore
Roosevelt, and that they will
give the policies of the party and
his administration of the govern
ment the approval of such an
overwhelming majority as no
president within forty years has
leceived.
THE PANAMA CANAL.
The delay which has occurred
ia the construction oi this canal
lias, after all been fortunate.
The French company would have
made it but 30 feet deep. The
increasing size and draft of
freight carrying vessels caused
the American engineers to base !
their surveys and estimates on a
depth of 35 feet. Already the
Canal Commission has found that
because of improved and more
powerful machinery and more
efficient American administra
tion the canal can be made 40
Sect deep for about the cost
estimated for a depth ot 35' feet ;
so it is thought ' it may be built
to a depth ot 40 feet, which is
the depth the "Narrows"
entrance to New York harbor is '
being cut.
The Commission is working
tentatively at the Culebra,cut,
which is the deepest on the line.
and keening an accurate record
of the cost This will enable the
Commission to prosecute, the
whole work intelligently and
economically, or will furnish re
liable data for letting contracts if
it is decided to do any part of the
work by contract.
It is evident- so far. the Cora-
mission has proceeded cautiously
and wisely in its preliminary
work, much of . which looks to
the improvement of the sanitary
conditions which usually prevail
in low-lying tropical regions. It
is thought that these can be so
improved that white laborers can
live and work without any extra
ordinary danger from climatic in
fluences. '
It should not be surprising if
American genius and energy
practically completed this work
within five years. The president
is unquestionably in earnest
about this work. His prompt
recognition of Panama was just
and right and also made neces
sary by our interest on the isth
mus. There is not the shadow
of doubt that had not the presi
dent taken the prompt and de
cisive action he did conditions
would have sprung up which
would have delayed the building
ot the canal for years, possibly,
have defeated the whole project.
In face oi this no act of his ad
ministration has been so grossly
and maliglantly misrepresented
as this.
We shall not say that Demo
crats do not desire the construc
tion ot this canal, for we do not
believe so; but we do think that
the misrepresentation indulged
by the Democratic press, leaders
and candidates gives just reason
to fear that it is inspired by those
great corporate' interests which
have so bitterly and determindly
opposed the work through all the
years.

treatment from you for the roaring in
my head, and deafness. The roaring in
my head has entirely ceased and my
hearing has returned so that I can hear
as well as I ever could. -Yon are at

Many of the " country school
houses in Benton countv need re
pairing before the rainy weather
sets in. There is a broken step
which needs fixing, upon which
some boy or girl may be injured;
there are broken window panes
that need replacing, loose boards
that should be nailed down and
many other little things that add
greatly to the comfort of both
teacher and pupils, should be
looked after. It is first of all
necessary to see that all are both
warm ana dry. nence tne neces
sity of patching the leaky roof
and filling the empty shed with
good wood, ready for use. These
little things go verv far toward
making the teacher, cheerful and
pupils who would otherwise hate
the schoolroom are made to like
it
W ny it was done no one can
tell, it turned out to be the work
of hoodlums, but it frightesed
several women out of their wits.
It happened down near the old
Hazeiwooa creamery, late one
nignt last week. Tws men were
apparently in angry altercation,
a volley of pistol shots rang out
on the still night air, then fol
lowed the sound of horses hoofs
and buggy wheels, indicating;
frantic haste. One who heard it
went out later to see what had
been done, but all was still. It
was only a joke, a cruel ghoulish
joke. .
While returning home late
Monday evening, .Miles Starr
met with an accident' that will
lay him up for some time. When
within a block oi his home, and
while seated on his tricycle, a
loose board caught in the wheels
upsetting the vehicle and throw
ing Miles out, spraining his right
knee. Miles is in bed and will
probably remain there for a few
days. " . .,.
