NO MYSTERIOUS POWER.
The influence which President Woodrow Wilson has
exercised over both houses of the legislature is some
thing new in the history of the country.
How is it done ? The people ask, how long will
It last? There is no mystery at all about Mr. Wilson’s
power. It is done by just doing it. He believes in the
great forces of public opinion and he works with this
force, not against it.
He does not use patronage, as even the best of our
Presidents have hitherto done to whip recalcitrants into
shape. The proof of this is that senators who have
strongly opposed Mr. Wilson, have always received the
same treatment from him as those who have acted in
harmony with him. He does not threaten nor does he
persuade, except through the force of good logic and
clear reason.
A great deal of Mr. Wilson’s mysterious power comes
from his easy and complete grasp of the subjects under
discussion, but even this would not go very far, if Mr.
Wilson’s pressure were exerted independently of the
American people.
It is the clear and indispcrtable fact that President
Wilson speaks for the people and with public sentiment
that gives him this hidde,n power. The simple fact that
there is nothing hidden is where the power is generated.
President Wilson succeeds in his undertakings be
cause he takes pains that the public shall know what they
are and why they have been undertaken. Quietly and
without the smallest sensationalism he keeps in close
touch with the press and supplies the straight news
freely to the public.
No President has ever established such satisfactory
correspondence with the public mind. Roosevelt kept the
public entertained diverted and arrested ns he pursued
his course, but Wilson presents himself to the public as
their agent and squares every one of his moves with this
principle.
His clear and cool mind enables him to point the way
and the confidence with which he has inspired the
American people makes them eager to take his course.
Yet Mr. Wilson's great strength is not in himself, it is in
the sympathy and support which he gets from the peo
ple, as should be the case with the President of a
Democracy.

Engineering Efficiency At Panama
No other work in the history of en
-1 glneerlng ever multiplied the oddv
against the engineer to such a great
extent as did the Panama Canal. When
: the work was undertaken it was esti
j mated that 103,000,000 cubic yards of
material would have to he excavated.
Ah a completed project it represents
| the excavation of 232,000,000 cubic
| yards. In other words, the engineers
j had to dig two and a quarter canals
| instead of one. And yet they dug the
| two and a quarter canals In less than
eight years, where it was estimated
' that it would take nine years to dig
j one canal.
Put in another form, it was esti
mated that the average amount of ex
cavation from January 1, 1907. for
ward, per month, until completion.
, would be approximately 954,000 cubic
; yards. Or. that basis it would have
j required twenty years instead of nine
to dig the canal. In other words, if
A SHY MAN
“Well, of All the Cheek," Said the Girl, Seeing His Em
barrassment, ‘‘l Am Very Shy, Too, Perhaps We’ll Get
Along Nicely.”
H was just like Carruthers to land
me In the depths of a # fix and then
brutally to leave me, rejoicing in my
discomfiture. The place was the stand
and the hour ten at night. We were
standing on the curbstone, waiting for
a taxi to take us to Victoria Station,
and try friend switched suddenly from
the normal and accosted a girl who
was at that moment passing behind
us.
“I say,” I heard him say, “I wish
you'd take this chap off -my hands
for a hit. He’S an awfully good sort;
but you’ll find him rather shy.”
The next moment he was In a taxi,
smilingly gleefully through the window’
and 1 was left looking into a pair of
laughing brown eyes and feeling more
flabbergasted than I had ever done in
my life Carruthers drove off with
a wave of the arm.
"Well, of all tlie cheek,” said the
girl, coolly— then, seeing my embar
rassment, and evidently wishing to
help me, she added: "I’m rather shy,
too. so perhaps we shall get on well
together."
"Will you—will you have a drink?"
I stammered out, feeling that this was
the correct thing to say.
"No I won’t have a drink," she said,
changing in that moment to something
wistful and pathetic. "Hut if you real
ly want to spend some money on me—-
only a little—l could eat something—
straight, I could."
"Eat something?" I echoed. "Do
you mean to say that you're really
hungry?"
"Well, there’s nothing very strange
In that. Is there?”
"No, but you’re actually In need of
food?”
"Well, I had one good meal yester
day. I must not grumble.”
I looked at this brown-haired, mat
ter-of-fact girl with the funny brown
eyes and a still funnier expression
about the mouth, and I suddenly felt
myself in the presence of something
new and strange, something that would
be horrible if I dared to confront it.
"Oh, I say," I protested, "you can’t
be serious. But anyhow, come along
and have something.”
Even then she stopped me, laying her
hand on my arm.
“Something cheap." she stipulated.
"Please—l don't want anything else.
Just a sandwich and coffee, or at the
very most a grilled chop with tomatoes.
I'm rather purtial to grilled tomatoes."
she assurred me, with a little intimate
squeeze of my arm.
I took here, therefore, to a quiet lit
tle restaurant close by, and she ate
what she wanted, and meanwhile she
tulked.
Not rapid talk, or flippant, or cas
ual. or by any means tragic. But Just
dry-as-dust. dealing with a few of the
facts of her life.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
Colonel Goetlials and his men had been
content to keep the pace set for them
by the men who laid out the plan of
the canal they were to build, we might
have seen the first ship going through
the Panama Canal in March, 1027, in
stead of December, 1913.
The Htory of how Colonel Goethals
and his men never rested upon the
oars ut past achievement from the day
they started in until the day that Gam
boa dike was blown up, of how they
used each higher plane of efficiency as
a rallying ground for still higher effi
ciciency, constitutes the most thrilling
tale in all engineering history. It is
a story that stirs the blood. And
nowhere else is it so well told as in
"The Panama Canal," by Frederic J.
Haskin, which The Augusta Herald is
handling on behalf of its readers, at

living while yet but a girl. She had
np friends, and no money. She had
succeeded for a time indeed, until quite
recently. She had been a waitress in
a tea shop, and some trouble with the
manager resulted in her being dis
charged without a character.
"He's done many a poor girl like
that," she confessed.
Then she drifted. She had tried
many things, she said, but never had
put her heart into it. Her little store
of money dwindled. On the night I
met her—indeed, on several of the
nights previous to it, she had wander
ed about with the full intention of tak
ing that final step which means a girl's
utter irretrievable ruin. But she, had
not yet taken it. She had not yet taken
it, though Heaven alone knew why.
Something virginal still remaining In
tier nature, she supposed.
I felt quite touched by this.
There still remained one chance for
her, however—a hope to which she had
clung through all the black hours of
her trial. She had a brother living in
America and he had made her prom
ise him, before he left England, that
if ever she was in trouble, or wanted
a friend, she was to go out to him and
he would look after her. She had not
applied to him for money, because,
stupid though it was, she was intense
ly proud, particularly with the mem
bers of her own family. But If she
should turn up in the place where he
lived—he was married by the way—be
would give her shelter while she got
a position, and he need never know of
the hideous horrors she had escaped in
England.
Well, what could a man do ? It
seemed to me it was one of those op
portunities for a grand quixotic fool
ishness, which every man, if he is not
altogether selfish and hard-hearted,
must allow himself to privilege of
sometimes. Besides, we starv off ret
ribution by propitiatory deeds of this
sore I promised to find her suffi
cient money to enable her to go to
America.
I saw her twice after that. The
first time was to give her the money
to pay her passage and to leave a lit
tle to go on—with when she reached
tiie other side. The second time was
in the station at Paddington.
I walked away from seeing her off
that day feeling that I had been the
means of saving a human soul.
By the way, I did see her again after
this! It was the other night. She sat
quite close to me in a quiet Ixmdon
restaurant, though, as we were back to
hack, she did not see me. She was
telling a man, in convincing accents,
of her brother in Aimertca. who would
stand by her if only she would get out
to him. He would suve her from the
worse fate, she thought.
I looked at the man and wondered
if I were anything like him.
He looked very shy—and very green!
her husband to kiss her."
"Is that so?”
"Yes, Monsieur."
"And what about Countess Lanois
and Baroness Valdeal and all the
other ladies who sold dozens of
kisses at the Charity Bazar the other
day.”
"Well, that is again a difefrent
thing They sold their kisses for
charity."
"Would you perhaps sell a kiss,
too?”
"Why certainly, when It was well
paid for and the money went to the
poor. Those aristocratic ladies do it
of mere vanity.”
"Yes. you are quite right. Amelie.
they only want to be able to boast of
the high price that men have paid
for their kisses But for a kiss from
you here whlcn no one would see.
I would ”
"How much would you be willing
to pay?"
“Anything you ask. Fix your own
price."
“Five hundred francs.”
"Why, that would be cheap. I
would have taken you at your word

way out of this dilemma, Leon Tam
bouret was back waving a five hun
dred franc fill in his hand.
"Here Mme. Amelie are your five
hundred francs.”
Blushing and dreadfully embarrass
ed she took the bill. She was all
confused; the fining had happened so
quickly, and she wished she had had
time to telephone her husband. Leon,
however, did not allow her any time
for reflection, tut took her into his
arms and kissed her passive, unre
sisting lips. Then she tore herself
loose and ran out of the room.
"But, Amelie, you certainly won’t
refuse to let me say goodbye to you,"
he cried after her.
She opened the door just enough to
give him her hand which he covered
with kisses.
"May I use your telephone before 1
go?" ibe asked.
‘‘Y6s, it is in my husband’s study.’
She closed the door and sat down
to think. Her blood was boiling and
she could almost hear her heart beat
ing. Of course, she must tell Al
phonse everything. What would sne
do with fihis miserable five hundred
franc bill? After all she would get
nothing out of the whole thing if
she gave it to charity without any
body knowing anything about it.
Besides, it would not do Alphonse
any harm to hear what her kisses
were valued at by others. There were
times when he did not seem to ap
preciate her as much as he ought. He
was inclined to be a little philistine,
and this thought made her feel quite
uneasy. How was she to begin hes
tale. Naturally she could not blurt
out: “I have sold a kis to your friend
Leon.”
She heard her husband’s step in the
hall now. He was smiling as he en
tered the room and kissed her as
usual. Of course she could not know
about the other kiss.
“Leon has been here,” he said, s
“Yes, how do you know?” she
gasred.
“Why he telephoned from here.”
“He did?”
“Yes, didn't you know. He gave
you 500 francs.”
“Did he telephone that?"
“Yes. I am glad that you did not
hear what he telephoned. Leon is a
libertine.”
“What did he telephone then?"
“Oh, something very funny. What
he had wanted the money for.”
“What then?”
“Didn't he tell you then, that hat*
an hour before he came to my ofi'ce
to morrow 500 francs. He was in a
great hurry, he said. He wanted a
favor from a beautiful woman, hut
after all he found he did not need it,
so he had his chauffeur stop here
and give you back the 500 francs he
borrowed from me. What do you
think of that?”
“What an immoral fellow,” Mme.
Amelie exclaimed.
She felt crushed. She did not
know what to say to such a mean
trick, and as a dream she went back
to get the money.
"A real rascal," she mumbled to
herself.
BOY NATURE SUPPRESSED
A Kansas City youth of eighteen the
other day left a farewell letter in
which he attributed what he said was
his failure in life to his childhood
training. He had been taught, he said,
never to contest another's viewpoint,
and to surrender his will at all times
to others, the result of his training be
ing that he was unfitted for the bat
tle of life. He therefore ended his
existence.
This tragic incident shows the neces
sity for the individual study by par
ents of each child and the application
to each needs. The trend of the times,
thanks to school athletics, is toward
the promotion of a healthy eombative
ness and the development of normal
pugnacity. These traits are indis
pensable to the ultimate success of
the boy. Their abuse, after all. Is the
exception, and not the rule.
The training which turns out a mol
lycoddle Instead of a real boy Is usual
ly to be found in the family which re
gards an honest bloody nose as a badge
of shame, and an indication that the
wearer is reverting to the savage state.
For some hoys this training tray he
all right, but for others it is atl wrong.
