Adjutant General of British Army HS a soldier man I am very proud to see such a great work as the Panama canal being SUCCESSFULLY carried out under military supervision. As a stupendous task for humanity to accomplish jt ECLIPSES the building of the Egyptian pyramids by the pharaohs. IN BUILDING THE PANAMA CANAL AMERICA IS CARRYING OUT A GREAT ALTRUISTIC JOB, FOR I DO NOT BELIEVE THE WATERWAY WILL EVER PAY COMMERCIALLY. Then, again, look at the enormous army of laborers along the canal who are fed every day by the commissary department just like an army in the field. There is nothing edible to be had along the works from Colon to Panama, and every morning a train leaves with so many thousand eggs, so many pounds of bread, butter, meat, vegetables and provisions of all kinds to supply the commissaries at the various points along the line, and they arrive on time somehow, and the people are all well fed and cared for by this WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION.

BLust For Wealth Will Lead Country Into Disaster By THEODORE ROOSEVELT

OVERPOWERING LU6T FOR WEALTH WILL SOONER OR LATER LEAD THE COUNTRY INTO DISASTER UNLESS A V > PROPER CURB 18 APPLIED. The lust for power does not confine itself to the capitalistic class ALONE, but is felt by LABOR LEADERS, as shown by their efforts to get MORE than their just due from their employers. This materialism and paganism will RUIN this country if we are not. CAREF UL. That is our greatest danger today, and it is the ministers’ duty to get together and take steps to REMEDY the situation. Labor and capital never could be brought together by merely catering to the material welfare. The moral consideration must be included, and we must look to the CHURCH to supply that leaven. Men of great wealth who have employed the most material of means to amass their fortunes must not be surprised if labor leaders employ extraordinary tactics to PRESS their demands. The labor leader sees that the pressure applied by the capitalist is considered part of the game by him, so why should he not go to great lengths to get what he wants? If this is excusable in the capitalist, why is it not in the labor leader?

IA Mistake to Aim at I o • o I Disarmament ? o X X By Bishop CODMAN of Maine X X o O*0»O < * B O«**O'^0 a «”o‘*Cy a *o a « a o*«”o***o < « a o a **o a **o*»o < *o < **o**o*«»o«O ß o a «‘o***o a **o*»o‘**o***0 < **0 jjFTTT ITHOUT war a nation would DEGENERATE, would M w ■ become effeminate morally and physically. /|T IS A MISTAKE TO AIM AT DISARMAMENT. WAR HAS DEVELOPED NOBLE SOLDIERS, NOBLE STATESMEN AND NOBLE WOMEN. While we all hate the EVILS and HORRORS of war, we may agree in the unquestioned value of such an international code and the development of a code of international equity. Yet I believe we should be on our guard lest we carry the talk of peace and disarmament TOO FAR. , i War is indeed an evil and cannot be carried on without frightful suffering and horrible consequences. But war is a TRAINING in moral courage, in self discipline, in zeal for righteousness, in patriotism, in the sense of the value of unity and in the contempt for social vices that destroy national strength. Keep the Babies at Home By Dr. HENRY D. CHAPIN of New York CHE moment a baby is taken from its home its growth and development show a steady LOSS. I don’t believe an infant should go to an institution under any circumstances. A FEW SURVIVE, BUT EVERY ONE LESS THAN HALF A YEAR OLD DIES. I don’t care how well the institution is managed; the results are the same. One reason for the great mortality rate in institutions for babies is the spread of INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
