“Of two evils choose the less,’ was |
probably the motto of the Ohio woman
who went to jail rather than tell her age
in com*-—Chicago Sewn.
The^hilean coast !ast week suffered
a similar catastrophe from earthquake
shocks to that recently experiences! by
San Francisco, but from late reports it
does not appear that the losses will be
as great It is evident however, that the
disaster is no slight affair and will prob
ably receive the practical sympathy
from the world at large that saeh a
heart-rending catastrophe deserves. It is
hoped for humanity’s sake and for the
stability of the markets of the world
that the loss is not as large as at first
reported.
Secretary of State F.lihu Boot in his
tour of South America, during which he
has appeared at various social functions
and delivered numerous speeches has,
judging from the manner in which he
was received and treated, done much to
solidify the sentiment in the South
American countries in favor of the
United States and its policy toward its
sister countries in the western hemi
sphere. His speeches were able and
could not fail to impress the various
rulers and officials with the sincerity
and truth of his statements. Mr. Boot
is proving to be a worthy successor to
the late John Hay and the department
of state has a strong and capable head.
