american people. with notably little divi-
sion of sentiment, desired il should be
e inaug,irated and carried forth No higher
or more solemn duty ever rested on men IN
public life than TO determine this question.
Mr. Spooner culogized the isthmian
4canal commission. saying that no one
would attempt to impeach its integrity,
j ability or engineering skill.
All knew that the object in appointing
the commission was to afford congress the
data and expert opinion which would en-
able it to proceed conservatvey and wise
y. He declared that the eyes OF the
American people had not been focused
solely upon the Nicaraguan route. From
the time the commission was appointed it
had not been merely question of route.
In response to an interruption by MIR.

isthmian canal commission in reporting in
favor OF the Panama route. Mr.. Spooncr
declared that the recommendations in both
reports OF the commission were entirely
consistent
Mr.. Morgan Interrupts.
Mr. Morgan interjccted the remark that
he was prepared to controvert the argu-
ments in favor of the Panama route.

that the senator is prepared to controvert
anything that may be said in favor Of the

That was not the Only change" sug-
gested Mr.. Morgan.
Yes, it was the only change" replied
Mr.. Spooner. The Panama property was
still the same property and the Panama
route was etill the same route The adj
vantagcs of the one over the other still
remain the same
Personally. Mr.. Spooner said he could
not disregard the report Of the commits

lie paid a cordial tribute to the energy,
ability and earnestness with which Mr..

We should examine all teachers

Better Salaries-But the prime re
qnisite to obtaining good teuchers-

improvement of our schools, IS tho
adequate compensation of our teach
ers--all the teachers, whetle or in
country or in town, whether mon

live by their work if they are to do
the best work. "The laborer is
worthy of his hire" They must
have decent and respectable sup
port if they are to illustrate in them
selves the intellectual and the aes,
thetlc life, or inspire high ideals in
others.
We must have more money. We
must raise more money by taxation,
or We may save money now suffered
to go to other purposes and give it
to the schools, to the teachers
for the sake of the schools. The
ways and means of this are discussed
elsewhere, under the title "Reveues.
