Light on Canal Problems.

In voting on the isthmian canal question
the Senate will pass upon two propositions:
u the title Of the Panama company, and (2)
the engineering problems presented in both
the Panama and the Nicaraguan routes.
There Is no ADLER lawyer in the Senate
than Mr. Morgan Of Alabama His fame Is
more than national. and his associates hear
him on all legal matters with great re-
spect- There IS no lawyer in the Senate
VINO has given as much attention to the
title OF the Panama company as he. His
Inv estigation OF that feature of the canal
question has been as thorough as he could
make r. And Mr.. Morgan decides against
the Panama company. He is of opinion that
It's title is most defective, and that Htiga-
ion. expensive and disastrous to the United
States. would follow the taking over by this
government of the company's holdings.
Even the advocates Of Panama are asking
that the President make a careful inquiry
INTO the coInpany's title before closing the
transaction. They admit difficulty.
There Is but one member of the Senate
VINO is able to speak with personal authority
on the engineering problems involved. and
ne spoke yesterday. Mr.. Harris of Kansas
vas civil engineer by profession before he
entered the field of craftsmanship He has
7tNNAeu lne Two canal routes proposed and
not only decides in favor of Nicaragua. but
gives weighty reasons why Panama should
not be chosen on any account His deliver

VINO had carefully explored his ground and
thoroughly marshaled his facts Every
word he uttered bore directly on the points

IL is worthy Of note, too, that Just at this
time when We are asked to invest In this
Panama mess the French statesman who
presided over the investigation which I'M
covered the rottenness connected with the
French attempt to dig that ditch reappears
on the scene at home as a member of the

At Harrisburg.

The situation in Pennsylvania remains ex-
citing and confused. The followers of Mr.
Elkin profess the utmost confidence. The
followers of Judge Pennypacker are no less
confident. The latter in the main represent
the reform forces within the republican
party. Mr.. Quay, it Is true, favors Judge
Pennypacker, but it Is well understood that
but for the unusually vigorous protest
against Mr.. Elkin the senator would have
been an Elkin man. His relations with the
attorney general have been of such an init
mate character he would not have opposed
him except under heavy pressure. The re-
formers, however, would not hear to the
Elkin candidacy. and the danger of the loss
of the state and of half dozen congress
sional districts forced Mr.. Quay into the
support of a compromise candidate. Judge
Pennypacker is Mr.. Quay's personal friend
but he has not been a political leader, and
his talents and character made him accept
able to the wing Of the party of which
Charles Emory Smith is a distinguished rep
resentative. It Is In this sense only that
Judge Pennypacker is characterized as Mr.
Quay's candidate.

Mr.. Choate and ROYALTY.

Shall we not hear from the anti-imperial-
lists on the subject of Ambassador Choate's
dinner to King Edward and his royal con-
sort? 1t will take place Wednesday even
ing. The honor-.or SO it Is regarded in
London-of breaking bread with an ambas-
sador at his own table is an unusual one
for royalty to bestow. Mr.. Choate will be
the first to enjoy it at the hands of King
Edward. May not this be characterized as
one of the many baneful results Of our be-
coming a world power? Is it not another
evidence of the fact that We are fast losing
our identity as a plain people? Before we
went in for empire, annexed Hawaii and
took over Porto Rico and the Philippines
did any representative of the United States
to any foreign power ever cut a eaper OF
this sort? Is 1t not time for US to pause
and consider? Do We not condone a crown
if we feed the man who wears it2
A second point of scarcely less unpleasant
moment is the statement that Mr.. Choate's
mansion, on Charlton House Terrace, is emf
nently fitted for entertainment on a lavish
style" This is bound to strike the anti
imperialists unfavorably. Many Of them
will associate knee-breeches and a sword
with London establishment Of that de-
scription. and imagine Mr.. Choate 80 ar
rayed when he receives the royal pair The
American ambassador is New England
man, and must have had a sturdy republi-
can training. Has his stay in London near
a court undermined his character? And If
it has is 1t safe for us to send anybody
over there? Is Mr.. Stephens of Texas still
on guard in Congress?

chine Is even yet toy and the average
city conditions are not suitable for a too
free use of 1t. When special roads shall
have been built for these machines, or when
the public becomes educated in the art of
lodging expertly, it will be proper to per-
NIT the automobiles to run at full tilt
through the streets and roads. 1t will re-
quire a number of generations to evolve the
expert dedger and perhaps several score of
years to persuade the taxpayers Of the
country to pay the cost of special roads.
So unless the owners and users Of these
machines themselves pay for their speed
ing places their machines must take their
proper place in the comparatively slow pro-
cess!on Of travel 1t may seem hard that
the purchaser of five-thousand-doll ma
chine Is not permitted to run at its top
speed of forty or fifty miles an hour. but
must conform to the regulations. which are
framed with reference to the usual safe
pace Of horses. But that is his misfortune.
For every such individual there are per-
haps ten thousand less wealthy persons
whose lives are far more precious than his
pleasure. This truth has evidently appealed
with convincing force to the directors OF
the Automobile Club and their decision may
serve to establish better relations between
the auto-owners and the public.

Increased Tax and National Advance

Either it should be specified that the
great increase in District taxation Is tenn
porary to meet an emergency and a time
limit upon 1t should be fixed the United
States should make an advance or loan
to the District for large public improve
ments, sufficient in amount to absorb for
many years in interest and sinking fund
contributions the annual surplus of current
revenues over current expenditures. If
the increased local tax is to be permanent,
the United States should be bound in ad-
vance to meet 1t dollar for dollar under the
organic act; and the only certain method
of accomplishing this Is to cause the United
States to pay in advance with reimburse
ment on the half and half basis, covering
a long period of years.
While Senators Allison, Mcmillan and
Cockreil are alive and with us they can be
relied upon to see that there is no Sinking
in meeting the national obligations to dupli-
cate promptly what IS collected in taxes
from the District and that the joint con-
tribution Is expended upon urgent and
legitimate municipal needs. But the in
ceased tax with its constantly charging
surplus over legitimate current expenses
will probably he with us always; while
must rely to dissipate wisely the so-called
surplus will pass away. leaving the path
clear to destruction of the organic act. The
increased tax and the advance should be
simultaneous. The tax should not be fast
ened irrevocably on the District if the adj
vance is only half-promised and postponed

Baggage Smashing.
From the New York Tribune

Among the railroad reforms much ap-

issue Of orders by several corporations of
prominence forbidding the banging about Of
railroad luggage in the riotous manner
which has been the habit all over the
United States. 1t Is no exaggeration to say
that in countless cases men employed by
the railroads hive displayed q perverted
ambition to eA one another as baggage
smashers," eager to show the strength OF
their muscles and bent upon SURPRISING
their rivals In wanton destruction of pri-
vate property.

Wonderment,

I wonder why the rose is rare,

To one short hour Of mirth;
And why the poor mans coin is tossed

And why a single hat should cost
AS much as two weeks board
But what seems queerest Of the queer,
When musings mar my sleep,
Is that good beef should be SO dear
And cigarettes so cheap.
