HERE IS A If EDITORIAL from the Fnrgo, North Dakato, Courier-News tliat toucho the naw, and should be reprinted in overy newspaper in tho land, and taken to honrt and acted up by every roador: "Poisoned tongues, unkind criticism, an atmosphere of suspicion, lack of appreciation may bo as deadly as poison and as fatal as a stab. It was not work that killed him." "The man who split tho continent In two and let tho Panama canal through the enormous ditch, is dead. "Nobody who know Lioutouaut-Colnnol David DuBose Gnillard, the ongin eor who made Culcbra cut a possibility, believes that it was the work that killed him. Despito the fact that for seven years ho worked day and night on tho almost impossible task to which he was sot, that ho was never idle, that no seemed never to sleep evory one who knows Gaillard kuows it was not the work that finished him. "Ilis soul gave way to tho remorseless spectre of suspicion that was al ways directed against him and the men who with him formed tho Isthmian Canal Commission. His death Is a lesson to those Americans whose crooked minds are always on the lookout for evil in men's hearts. "Oaillard had a sensitive soul. He was given a terrible tank to perform and wns kopt at that task by his own conscience and by the dosiro to accom plish it. When ho would turn away for an instant to rest his tired body, ho was greeted by the lash of .unfriendly criticism, from men of his own profes sion, by tho sting of suspicion from those calamity howlers who hooted at tho canal idea in tho first place nnd believed any accomplishment of work on tho isthmus was tho result of underhand methods. "To Gulllard had boon fissignod tho tnsk of cutting through tho Continen tal divide at Ciilcbra. llo wns tho man who "mado tho dirt fly," because ho was tho man who wns put In tho place wlioro tho dirt wus to fly. He was bo set with not only the tremendous engineering problem of cutting through a mountain, but by unforeseen natural difficulties that cropped up ono after tho other in tho form of slides and breaks. Tho professional problem ho could have withstood, working by day in the hot tropical sun and steaming by night over a mnss of papers and plans nnd blue prints'. They wero enough to havo wrecked the strongest man, , "But Oalllnrd could hnvo triumphed over them. It wns not the slipping,, sliding, breaking hills of Panama that killed 1iim. It wns tho stifling atmos phere of suspicion and distrust, tho constant strain of living over n smoulder ing volcano of cruel slander that might burst out at any time nnd overwhelm him. ' " Oalllnrd split a mountain with his hands fur tho benefit of humanity. "His reward Is a nice marblo headstone eighteen inches wide nnd two feet high, "according to the pattern filed in tho offico of tho quartermaster corps at tho war department." It will toll tho pooplo that ho was a lieutenant-colonel of engineers, United States Army; wns born in South Carolina, September 4, 18.11I; was graduated fro?n West Point iu 1SS-I, and died December 5, 1013."
