The Presidents Philippine Policy.
[Chicago Post.l


Has Mr.. Schurman misinterpreted the
President? Here is the exact language
which Mr.. Roosevelt used. in his mes
sage:
"Our people are now successfully gov
erning themselves because for more than
a thousand years they have been slowly
fitting themselves. sometimes consciously,
sometimes unconsciously, toward this end.
In dealing with the Philippine peo-
pie we must show both patience and
strength, forbearance and steadfast reso-
luton. Our aim is high We hope
to do for them what has never before
been done for any people of the tropics
to make them fit for self-government af-
ter the fashion of the really free nations"
Was this written loosely, carelessly and
thoughtlessly? Those who are committed
to permanent annexation are driven to
this absurd conclusion. The Presidents
words are significant, and they were all
pondered and well considered. They are
utterly inconsistent with the interpreta-
ton of the anneXationists. The President
does not say that we hope to Americanize
and assimilate the Filipinos, to give them
self-government and freedom under the
flag after the fashion of say, Hawaii and
New Mexico. He does not say that we
hope to give them a territorial status and
the prospect of statehood. His words
have no such meaning. They certainly do
not mean what General Wheaton regards
as the solution of the problem. What,
then, do they mean?
Exactly what Mr.. Schurman CONSTITUTES
them to convey-ultimate independence;
perhaps under some form of protectorate,
some sort of PLAT amendment" Mr..
Roosevelt is not addicted to clubbing ana
employing words to conceal his thought,
and in Interpreting him it is not necessary
to strain, twist and do violence to the
English language.

The Panama Canal.

The Panama route is but 1900 miles
long from ocean to ocean, which is but
little more than one-fourth the total
length of the Nicaragua route. There
is, therefore, less room for variety
Of features than is found on the Mic
aragua line. The city of Colon. form
erly called Aspinwall was chosen by
the old Panama company as the Allan
tic terminus. The route then follows
along the marshes in a southwesterly
direction to a little place called Gatun.
or the Chagres river. From that
point it follows the line of that river
in a general way to Obispo, thirty
miles from Colon. At Obispo the
route leaves the Chagres and enters
the Emperador cut, which merges in
to the great Culebra cut, where the
line crosses the continental divide.
From the latter point its general
course lies along a small stream called
the Rio Grande until it reaches the
waters of Panama bay.
This route has attained great promi-
hence within the past twenty years in
consequence of the work done on it by
the old Panama Canal company, a
French corporation of which Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps was the head. 1t
was not until 1888 that work upon a
large scale was begun. The plan
adopted was that of a sea-level canal
and included bottom width of 70
feet and a navigable depth of 29.5
feet. The entire cost of the work
was estimated by de Lesseps in 1880
at about s12S 100000, and eight years
for the time required. Work under
this sea-level plan was prosecuted
actively until near the end of 1887
when it became evident that the canal
on a sea level-plan could not be con
structed for the amount of money and
time then available to the company

The friends of Congressman Kittredge
Haskins must feel highly gratifed over
the handsome manner in which the Asso-
ciated Press spoke of his maiden speech
in the House, that delivered in support of
the ELECTROMAGNETIC bill, which he has
had so prominent a part in helping to for
mulate. The bill has been taken up early
in the session-another victory for Con-
gresham Haskins and the other support
ers of the measure-and if it passes at
this time, as now seems probable, Col.
Haskins will begin his congressional ca
reer with a victory of which many an old
