We need here In (he United Stales a little more of that good old English bluntness on the part of modest men and women Who know their own worth, when men and women of the arrogant sort get in the way or try to be pat ronizing, says New York Independent. Our observation is that nowhere in the wor'.d are men and women of ex ceptional intellectual attainments so lacking in self-assertion as they are in the United States. This phenomenon is a comparatively new one in Amer ican life. Wherever one opens the documents of American history before the civil war he is sure to discover in teresting incidents proving the sense of dignity and real self-respect of the American farmer, mechanic, merchant, teacher, physician or clergyman. It was something in man himself that in those days was regarded as worth while and worthy of respect. It takes a certain amount of courage for an in dividual, face to face with a person politically or financially prominent, to tell him to stay on his own reservation and mind his own business. Americans have been inclined to regard the Eng lishman's habitual manifestation of this particular kind of courage as a disagreeable quality. Perhaps it is. Hut we are convinced that it is a necessary quality, and that its cultiva tion is an essential part of that eter nal vigilance which is the price of lib erty. Many crimes diminish. Defalcations, in spite ot a popular impression to the contrary, are far less in amount than they were. Wealth has grown and fiduciary responstbilitles swell, but the total amount of defalcations annu ally are below those of a few years ago, jays Philadelphia Press Skilled Dank burglaries are less numerous The safe, electric light and electric alarms have got the better of the bank burglar. Counterfeiting notes does not compare with the amount, numbei and risk, under th«« old bank note sys tem half a century ago, or in the firs! 20 years of the national note system bank or treasury, from 1863 to 18S3 Every bank had to watch once foi counterfeits, as it does not now. To day counterfeiting is on a petty scale Post office thefts by officials have a! most disappeared. Instead of hunting for them, as its members once did the postal secret service or force ol inspectors is principally dealing witt the use of mails for swindles. A bank wrecker in Wisconsin has been sent to the penitentiary for tei years. The only way to break up this sort of high finance is to treat its prac titioners as common thieves who sim ply take other people's property with out any formality or technicality When the man who wrecks a bank bj juggling its finances is put on a plan( with the burglar who blows open its vaults and safes, then there will be £ chance for the law to protect the pub lie from all classes of ihieves, no mat ttr how their stealing is named.

Approaches to Panama Waterway Must Be Made Impregnable— Any Other Course Would Be the Extreme of Folly. With Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood head ing it and the other members officers of high rank and'distinction, the Pana ma fortification board, that will be named shortly to undertake the work of planning the fortification of the great canal, will be of imposing character an 4 will inspire confidence in its The purpose of the administration is to provjde in the fullest manner for the protection of the canal at both its Atlantic and Pacific entrances. Probably two forts will command either entrance, and the approaches will be made absolute ly impregnable. Just what may be the final policy respecting the passage of commerce through the waters of the canal may not be predicted, but the policy with respect to the fortifi cation of the great work is not open to conjecture. The government is right in its purpose to leave nothing to the good faith of the powers. It is well enough to regard neutral ity an asset, but there is no assurance that in the event of war one or the other belligerents might not ignore the neutrality engagement and send its ships through the canal, thus in» volving tills country in the fracas. It might readily be conceived that a situation would arise in which one or the other of two warring powers would deliberately violate the neutral ity of the canal in order to bring the United States into the action. With the proposed forts provided no nation could set aside the principle of neutrality, no matter how reckless it might be, for the guns of the fort would be trained upon the offender, no matter who this might be. The necessity for fortification also arises from the possibility of acts by a bel ligerent that would ruin the canal, or at least impair its use during the progress of the hostilities. There ap pears to be no disposition upon the part of any power —England is the only one with a shadow of right to ob ject—to interpose any objections to the fortification plan. The fortifications at Honolulu are approaching completion, and those in the Philippines are well advanced. The Pacific is gradually being brought into war trim, so that a foe could not with immunity, or, indeed, with much hope of success, attack the posses sions of this country in the Pacific section. The absolute essential to the security of the country's extra-terri torial domain, however, is the pres ence of a fleet in the Pacific that would be able to outmatch ships sent to attack American possessions. Mr. Roosevelt Will Speak. Ex-President Roosevelt has finally consented to make the address whicli custom dictates must be made by the recipient of a Nobel peace prize. Mr. Roosevelt has until recently stoutly resisted all efforts to induce him to comply with this formality, and it is probable that even now only his re gard for Senator Root has induced him to abandon his determination to disre gard the custom. Andrew Carnegie has nominated Mr. Root as a proper recipient of the prize, and some of the trustees were so sensitive because Mr. Roosevelt had declined to comply with the custom that they advised a friend of the former president that if he per sisted in his declination there would be no chance of the prize being con ferred on another American. When Mr. Roosevelt learned that his reluc tance might result in depriving his former secretary of state of the honor, he reconsidered his determination, and while again expressing his reluctance to "appear before the footlights," he has instructed a personal friend to inform the Nobel trustees that he liaK reconsidered and to ask that the nec essary arrangements be made for his delivery of the address at K tbe "daddy °* trusts""Some said it was the im /f JgV petuosity of youth. Anyway, the court of appeals didn't take kindly to the fine and Rockefeller didn't have to dig down in his pocket to pay it. Several days ago a grand Jury was impaneled In Chicago. Everything went along smoothly and the alert reporters gath ered in the court room didn't have material for a scare until during the course of his instructions Judge Landis paused and said: "Having In mind the duty of the district attorney, I notified that officer that on your assembling here to-v.- | ' Mass.. makes the charges. Miss Hesler, who, report says, is the affianced bride of Dr. Robuett, thus explains the affair: )- >Ws{' "I was the innocent cause of the trouble. The ——i unwe i C ome attentions of Dr. Cowles caused the trouble. I went to Boston last November to visit my uncle and I met Dr Cowles. Once after he had left I discovered that my picture was gone. 1 wrote liiip a note asking him to return it, but 1 received no answer. I called him up on the telephone and he said he would return it as soon as he found it, as he had nvispiaced it. "On the night of the dance at the home of Dr. Howard E. Ames, whict was the twenty-seventh, he made a remark about the picture. Two of mj father's friends took exception and demanded an apology. That is how this disgraceful thing started." Miss Hesler is a daughter of the late Dr. P. A. Hesler, who died whiU In the service in the Philippines. She is popular in Evanston society. Dr. Cowles is a relative of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt ARMOUR ON THE HIGH PRICES - " " "Tlie exodus from the farm to the city and the natural law of a supply that has not kept pace with demand are to blame for the increased ml'/. - \ cost of liv'ng which recently has caused such a RrKfo''L J furore in the United States as well as other coun tries," uayp Ogden Armour, president of Ar- J mour & Co., , ckers, and owner of the Armour ' M / Grain Company. / Strange as it may seem, Mr. Armour says he ImW//'. / welcomes the boycott that has been declared WmJ J against meat in many parts of the country. * J "1 welcome such a movement," he is quoted as jsaying, "because 1 think it may make for lower vlipimih*. prices. I want to see lower prices." f/lShv Mr. Armour said he believed increased produc- IMMMIh, tlon is the remedy for the existing big* — LUJ .. J— prices and when asked what he considered a practical way of obtaining it replied: "James J. Hill has been making some practical suggestions along that line. The people must go back to ttie farms and farms must be made more productive. Movements which, like land congresses, have for their object tc lead people from the cities to the farms, are economically more important than anything else just now. "Whether by Irrigation, reclamation, fertilization or colonization, tl:e pro duction of grain and live stock must be increased. Few of the thousands ol foreigners who immigrate t/> the United States each year settle on the farms. They crowd the cities, increasing the demands on production, while adding nothing to it. Statistics show that." Sloan's Liniment is the best remedy for sprains and bruises.
