The Panama Route.
Walter wellman in Golfers Weekly.

Walter Wellman In golfers weekly.
Without doubt the greatest achieve
ment of the congress during its recent
session was the Isthmian canal bill. A
canal connecting the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans is now as
sured. In all probability it will be built
by the Panama route. There is remote
possibility that it may be by the Nicar.
aqua route. But canal Is assured.
And the canal is the main thing. The
Isthmian canal which the people of the
United States are to build is not only
the greatest engineering project known
to the history of the world, but it Is the
interference by human agency with the
physical conformation Of the earth s
surface which will produce the most
momentous consequences upon the fu-
ture of transportation, commerce, the
relations Of peoples, upon civilization
itself.
Nine months ago probably there were
not more than dozen men in the
United States who thought there was a
possibility of the construction OF an
Isthmian canal by any other route than
the Nicaragua. Members of the gov
eminent commission which had investi-
gated the subject were eight OF these.
Senator Hanna was another. The
writer was one more. Substantially the
entire country was for Nicaragua. That
was the only route the people had ever
given thought to. When they spoke Of
an isthmian canal they meant the one
via Nicaragua. 1t is easy to understand
why. For nearly a quarter of century
the French had been in possession of
the other route. 1t was pre-empted,
occupied. American attention turned
naturally to the available route. When
Captain Clark steamed the Oregon
around Cape Horn that memorable
voyage afforded the object-lesson which
did more to convince the American
people that they wanted an Isthmian
canal than all the agitation of the
preceding half-century. That voyage
appealed to sentiment, and all this sem
timent centred naturally around the
Nicaragua line.
At the suggestion of President Nc
Kinley congress had authorized an
investigation Of the Panama route.
Mr.. Mckinley was never satisfied with
the Nicaragua project. At least he was
unwilling to have two or three hundred
millions Of American money poured into
1t before an effort had been made to
ascertain that II was the best route.
The commission Of experts which inves-
tigated the subject In Its broader aspect,
including the Panama route in its in.
auiry for the first time. became satisfied
of the superiority Of that route. They
wished to report in its favor. But they
could not, at first, because the French
company, which held concession GOV.
ering the whole Panama isthmus, failed
to offer satisfactory terms. In fact, no
definite offer Of any sort WAS made.
Were the commission to recommend
that route they would simply bull
the value Of a property which the
United States wished to buy No one
could expect shrewd Americans to do
that. The commission did not do 1t
They recommended Nicaragua, but at
the same time made 1t clear that they
preferred the Panama route on physical

make sure of getting satisfactory ar
rangements for Panama. Senator Bacon
contributed the idea of having an lstn'
mian Canal commission of seven mem
beers to take charge of the great enter,
prise, the theory being that the proJect
Is too vast and complicated for the
secretary of war to handle along with
his other great responsibilities. Sena,
tor Fairbanks suggested the issue OF
$3.50, OOO, 900 popular bonds to pay
for the construction Of the canal, to be
issued from time to time as needed,
this amendment being based upon the
theory that as posterity is TO reap tne
benefits of the canal posterity should
nav a large share of the cost. The pay
ments of $40. 900. 900 to the french
company and of several millions 10 the
government of Colombia for the conces-
sion are to be made out OF the treasury
and not from the proceeds of bonds, and
congress has already appropriated ten
million dollars for these latter purposes
Heretofore Nicaragua canal bills have
passed the house of representatives.
Such bills have also passed the senate
But no such bill ever passed both houses
in the same congress and became law.
Now that the great feat has been
achieved there is widespread feeling
that congress has done well. 1t has
authorized a canal, and by the best
route. Next winter a treaty with
Colombia should be ratified, the French
property should be purchased and the
canal commission should be organized.
Before the end of 1908 actual work
upon the great waterway should be in
progress.

War vs.. Agriculture.
From the Commoner.

From the Commonef'
We offer you as food for reflection
two items in the work of the United
States congress which has just ended
its session. =,
For the army and navy-branches OF
the government devoted to killing-con.
gress appropriated the sum of $3.50, O15,
273.
For the department of agriculture,
that branch of the government devoted
to feeding the population, congress up
propriated IS, POS, $50. =.
The business of soldering is, OF
course, important and honorable.
In order to avoid sudden death we
must be prepared to inhict sudden death
on others.
We have things that other nations
want and are willing to fight for.
Therefore we must have plenty of SOL
diers. sailors ard weapons to use.
But if we need soldiers well equipped,
we need farmers we'll equipped. surely.
If we need an abundant harvest OK
Filipinos and others who oppose our
national growth, we need an abundant
harvest of foodstuffs also.
If we need 10 wipe out treason among
the deadly Moros, we need also to wipe
out the more deadly Canadian thistle at
home.
The enormous war and navy appro.
priations are intended mainly to deal
with situation in our eastern islands.
Financially, we devote to this problem
more than thirty times as much atten-
ton as to the problem OF improving
agriculture throughout the whole ma
ton.
Think what could be done for the
farmers and all other inhabitants Of
this country If the nation could spend
on national development what 1t spends
so readily and so cheerfully on war.
That sum Of money would give US the
Isthmian canal and leave vast sum
over.
1t would reclaim millions Of acres of
arid lands and and supply homes for
tens of millions of people, besides bene-
fitting the climate Of this country Won
derfully.
Government railroads, a government
telegraph system-endless national pos
sibilities-are bound up in that sum OF
one hundred and eighty millions.
But there is no such sum except for
war.
The future historian endeavoring ia
form an estimate of our degree Of civil
ization will attach great Importance to
those two items in our national budget.
He will conclude that underneath all
our alleged refinement the fighting man
ruled supreme.
One hundred and eighty millions fol
the department that kills men.
Five millions for the department that
feeds men.
We have long way to travel on the
road to civilization, kind friends.

GERS OF the American Window Glsss
Company are to 90 to Alexandria, lod.,
within t1e week to witness the test
start of the old Depau with tank plant
for the production of glass with the new

general idea Of the mschne.t quipped
plant soon to be started is the SUBJ THU
ton of compressed air with blowing
pipe similar to that used by the worker.
Before the shutdown last winter the
Dupsu factory employed fity-six blow
ers, with an equal number OF gatherers,
and now 1t is expected that twelve
machine tenders will do the work OF the
So blowers and st much less cost. This
machine ia the outgrowth of years OF
experimenting and is said to have cost
the American Window Glass people
$40 100000.
