Colombia And The Canal.

The action of Colombia in vstoing the
transfer Of the Panama Canal Company
rights to the United States is nor difficult to
explain. Il ia not at all likely that it was
taken with visw of stopping the transfer;
it is, rather, devious way Of notifying both
the Panama Company and this government
that money consideration would be &c.

inoonvenient, not to say dangerous, game
to play. Colombia has abundant reason TO
congratulate herself upon the selection oi

the accomplishment OF the policy thereby
indicated. That government should remem
Der that, in the present state OF public OPT.
nion on the canal question, expert opinion
and legislative opinion are partly OF cross
purposes, and that even a technical block
ing Of the Panama transfer may give the
advocates of Nicaragua their best CHANCE
Past experience is very clear in showing
that If an excessive price for the Panama
plant determined the choice against it, the
prospect of delay by Colombia may do much
TO make congress reconsider the whole mat
ter and adopt the first report OF the commits
sion. The difference in advantage between
the taco routes is not 30 great that expert
preference for Panama will prevail against
q further prolonged disappointment o.

COMPANY shall refuse the levy Of toll, and Il
our government shall reject, as no doubt il
will, all proposals. Of like character, il
behoovss Colombia to look after her in

is best typ fed by cartoon which repre-
sents Uncle Sam with . piekaXs over hil

INDUSTRY.

The lumber interest OF the United
States has reached the fourth position
IN the industries of the country, the
volume of its transactions being eX-
ceeded only by the iron and steel, the
textile and the meat packing business.
In 1901, according TO the census, there
were 33,035 numbering establishments
in the country in which a total capital
of $61l, GIL ,524 was invested. The
wage employed in these enter
prises numbered 2S3. 260 and they were
paid wages amounting to $104,640 .591;
the value of the products was 1856,
S32. 1884. OF these numbering establish

SENATE AND STATEHOOD.

The Denver Republican Ia that
while Senator Beveridge, chairman OF
the senate committee on territories, is
in Colorado he should take note of the
fact that the sentiment of the repub-
lean party IL that state is strongly in
favor of the admission of Oklahoma,
| New Mexico and Arizona.
We who live here ought to know bet
ter than most republicans east of the
Mississippi what the sentiment of the
far west is on this subject, and also
what the qualifications for statehood
of the three territories are. No repub-
lican. whether from the east OIL the
middle west, should refuse to help the
republicans OF the far west in a mat
ter of such great Importance as this is
TO them. No senator, whether repub-
lican or democrat, should refuse to
| promote by his vote the development
of the Rocky mountain region, moro
especially when by SO doing he would
infiict no injury on his own section.
To republican senators the appeal
for the admission of these three terri
tories should come with special force,
because it would mean the gain of at
least -four and, possibly, ten electoral
votes for the republican party in the
next presidential election. Oklahoma
and New Mexico may be safely count
ed on as republican. They would to-
gether cast seven electoral votes. 1t
is possible that Arizona would be dem
ocratic; but, in any event, its three
| votes would do no more than neutral
ize the three cast by New Mexico, leav-
ing the four in Oklahoma as net gain.
| There is, furthermore, a chance that
| Arizona will become republican, and
it's exclusion by the senate would, in
all probability, involve the defeat of
| the admission bill.
But higher than all partisan consid-
| erations is the fact that these three
| territories are clearly entitled to ad-
| mission. They have sufficient both of
population and taxable wealth to sup
port state governments, and this, in
| connection with the desire of the peo-
pie for statehood, should settle the
matter. The people of a territory live
| under provincial rule, and hence are
| denied one of the most highly priced
rights of American citizenship-the
| right of self-government. To deny this
| right to the people of the three terri
tories in question any longer would be
| unjust. and it should not be thought of.
We hape that the committee of which
| Senator Beveridge is chairman will re-
port as early as possible in favor of ad-
mission, and that then the senate will
Join the house in throwing open the
| doors of the union to these three
worthy and deserving applicants.

PANAMA CANAL.

The route of the Panama canal was
first made by II. de la Serna as far
back as 1527-2S. Many different eX-
plorations followed and suggestions
from various quarters. but nothing def
int was done until De Lesseps formu-
lated his famous scheme. This was OPP
posed by the United States. Americans
then wanted the canal to GO through
Nicaragua, and this plan was favored
by General Grant in 1879. But moth
ing was done. Says Harper's Ency-
clopedia of United States history: In
1881 the people of the United States

ward a French company, headed by
Count de Lesseps, of Suez canal fame,
