ad promptly. THE HOUSE OF THE OPEN DOOR. Did you ever hear of the House of the Open Door? 1: is located In llufcw Aires, that sunny South American capital, and Is among the most lururiou.s jialat-os of itie Argentine. There are no walls about thl hous. tur doors shut wiihin St. The rooms are sjiaeT. us and the garden in which, it J pet is a vlcasaut spot. iow who do ;uu suppose lives In this house? It is the insane person? vt lluenos Aires. They have been gathered there by Dr. Cabrea. a fame us pathologist, 'i here are no chinking chains nor padded cells for hli (barges. Torco has been used scarcely ever In the dozen years of its existence. What is the secret? It Is love of liberty. Dr. Cabrea sajs that a man. however his leason may have been shattered, never loses that primeval desire to be free that typifies all man kind. So he has made of his asylum a veritable palace, and the Inmates hardly realize that they are prisoners. Hun(Meds have recovered. Of course it has been found that ft tue basis of their insanity "vas the repression, the t-tern force of circumstances, that had denied that mind Its liberty. So reason cracked. Now slowly, and as mercifully as possible, it is being repaired. Surely Ntrth American Institutions for the Insane of feeble minded can find MunctliiriK to study lu Dr. Cabrea'e experiment. A success if a dozen years ought to be convincing. Perhaps some day in this country merer, based r-n science, and not blind force, will gov?ru our treatment of the helpless prisoners of society.
NO TIME FOR LABOR QUARRELTha public will not bo Inclined to look with patience on the talk about staRlcs a fiuifh fight between orjjalzcd labor and the employers' organizations ever the "closed" or 'open", shop. The people are more inclined to thiuk that attention should be given to the business cf stabilising. Instead of unsettling, industry. The charges and counter charges that capital Is trying to crush organized labor and that labor Is trying to nationalize Industry are not convincing to the masse of the people, and FomMMng more than claims will be needed to shew that the threats are as serious na the tadlcnls on both sides are trying to make It. It is plain te persons who give even casual attention to the economic laws Involved In present industrial conditions that there can be no decided redueth ns In the costs of building and public Improvements "and the tost of living in general, unless there is a readjust
ment of wages front the scale forced upon industry 1
by war conditions. Here is a problenr' t hat may well engage the atetition of both employers and employes- -agreements upon wages that will permit the fullest possible operation of Industrial plants, and at the same time glv. workers a compensation that wll enable them in meet
! the cost of li ttig 1 The readjustment of industrial policies f renin to ! vastly more Importance to tho public now that, the set
tlement of the controversy cf whether Industries shnll be operated u "closed" or "open" shops, if capital and
J labor ure determined to "scttlo this once for all," a; I has been declared, the test, may well be deferred untr
a problin that is mere pressing i adjusted.
PANAMA CANAL PAYS. In the last fiscal year the Panama Canal earned S2,3a",53y mere than the cost of operation. This amount stands as a pre fit for the period, though t cannot properly bo regarded as such since it allow nothing for Interest on investment, depreciation and other charges v-hich careful business management insists upon. The egreeable fact is, however, that this year was the best In the history of the canal and the excess of earnings l as reduced the operating deficit, for the six years of lis life to $2,231. 'J31. All of which warrants Brigndier General Chester Harding, governor of the Panfma Canal zone, in predicting that within a reasonable period of normal world conditions it will earn an actual I'rofit ca its cost. A businesslike people will not be satisfied with rc-i-ults until the canal has been made self-sustaining. In the meantime, however. It is gratifying that the wisdom of the enterprise is being increasingly demonstrated. Tim value of the canal to American business, especially in enlarged intercourse bctyecn this country and the Orient and the Vct Coast of South Africa is incalculaMe. And there is reason to believe it will grow until the capacity of the canal is taxed. But as lis use increases and revenues nieunt there will be necessity for greater Investment to keep, auxiliary services at balance with demands. Some of these
IMPOSSIBLE? NIT! Frenchmen fly about In little $1.2oj airplanes now that will aliucst fit Into r hencoop. Yet It i onl little more than a century ago that they were being a3-
! sured bv the rest of the world that Napo!eou"3 attempt
to cross the Alps with his army was impossible. That is a fallacy common to mankind. We sugely explain all the reasons why a thing can't be done, and then when Iff accomplished, we sagely explain all the reasens why it can. Scotch folk used to be fond of a fine phrase or the Impossible: "Ding douu Tantalton." This referred to the fortress tf the Douglasses. Why, it was built on such a promontory of rock. Its back t: the air and sea, that It was'hclJ Impregnable fcr a 1 time. Then wme fellow who wasn't convinced ca!.i i.long with .a cannon. Ills name was Monk, and ho per formed the operation of "dinging doun Tantallou" In 1GG0 with neatness, not to say dispatch. So be careful when you say a things Impossible Some fool citizen Is likely to surprise jou. IT SOMETIMES takes several law vers to get a man out of jail, but a little good sense would have kept him out.
THKHL' ATK probably not many of tho?e oldfashioned doctors left the ones whe charged the rb h enough to make up for what they lust on the poor.
THIS READJUSTMENT business would make more progress if the othej; fellows wculd take the lead.

CONTRARY TO general belief, very ycuns America still worships at the shrine of Saita Ciaus. THE INCOME tax law does not put any premium on the business of going out and earning a bit of money.
