Mr.. Morgan and the Canal.

In all the discussion of the proposed
change In the craftsmanship of the Senate
isthmian canal committee the note of ap-
probation of the distinguished services of
Mr.. Morgan in that post is sounded. He
has been foremost in the fight for the great
canal enterprise. He has kept the torch
alght when others seemed Indifferent or
forgetful, During all the years when the
Nicaraguan route seemed the only one for
us. and the Clayton-Buiwer treaty was an
obstacle in that path, the Alabama senator
pressed steadily on never doubling that
In time we should get there The result
of all this has been to make him uncompro-
missing and aggressive in the course he has
so long pursued.
But the question has arisen, Is that course
now the best one? Promising as 1t once
was, can 1t longer be pursued without in
jury to the canal project? Have not mat
ters taken such turn that to insist upon
Nicaragua Is to fight the canal? Has not
fate, or fortune. or what you will, decided
the case In favor of Panama? Could we
possibly now turn from Panama to Mica
ragua without injury to ourselves and at
least protracted delay to the great water
way which all the world so impatiently
awaits? In a word is not advocacy of the
Nicaragua route in the light of recent de-
velopments in effect obstruction to a canal ?
Many of those who once followed Mr.
Morgan-and The Star Is one of the COM
pany-think SO. They regretted the decis-
ion which struck out the name of Nicara-
qua and substituted that of Panama in the
canal legislation. They wanted the isthmus
pierced at the place where American favor
had for so long a time been conferred. But
Congress, by a vote all but unanimous,
ordered the change, and put the matter
into the Presidents hands. He proceeded
as directed and the rest is recent and very
instructive history. Panama has set up in
business for herself. solely because of the
rejection of the canal treaty by Colombia,
and the United States has recognized the
new government. If that means anything
it means a canal at Panama, and there we

questionable expedient Of changing milk
men, As often as not he jumps from the
frying pan into the fire.
But this is not the end of the consumers
woes. Some day, after dealing with sat-
isfactory dairyman for time, he finds HIM
self confronted by a monthly statement of
Indebtedness to strange dealer or firm.
Unknown to him the business has been
sold, or forfeited, or traded He may not
notice the change but draws his checn in

the other assets of the business.
The dealer should not be permitted thus
to traffic in human beings. When he is dis
posing of his trade he should be compelled
to notify the authorities and formally to
announce the fact to every customer. so
that the latter, II so disposed. may In sea-
son arrange for other service. The house.

practices to the danger OF contamination
involved in a carelessly handled supply.
But at the same time the consumer owes

to enter his complaints with the health
officer, and not merely with the dairyman.

To Oppose or Not opposep
ie Philadelphia Press

FROM the PhliGelPhfa Press.
The democrats of Congress are debating
among themselves whether they shall ac-
cept and go along with the Panama policy
of the President or whether they shall an
tagoniZe and resist it. The single act of
obstruction in their power is to oppose the
treaty that will be made with Panama. The
republic is already fact. The Presi-
dent has recognized it. That is his preroga-
tive. He will take the action necessary to
sustain IT. That again comes within the
scope of executive authority. No criticism
or opposition can change those facts. The
highest interest of Panama lies in the canal
and she will take blank sheet of paper
and tell the United States to write what
ever treaty we want. When that treaty
goes to the Senate the question will be
whether, having made terms with the only
power on the isthmus. having In that power
our ardent friend and ward having the
canal absolutely in our hands. free even
from the complications and embarrassm
involved when dealing with Colombia, any
body of senators will dare resist its ratif1-
cation. The men who venture upon such
an attitude under such conditions will be
rash and foolish beyond measure.

intercollegiate Foot Ball.

r. The football play of last Saturday did
much to lessen the public interest in the
match which is annually regarded as the
elimination of the season of intercollegiate
contests. the game between Harvard and
Yale. which is to be played next Saturday.
Yale and Harvard were both beaten on
Saturday. Yale by Princeton and Harvard
by Dartmouth. 1t is usually the boast of
the teams of the two universities that they
meet on the final day each with
an unbroken record of victories. They
really stand as the ultimate competitors for
the intercollegiate championship, but neither
team can be so regarded this year. and a
match between Princeton and Dartmouth
would be more surely a test of the prowess
of the eastern elevens. intercollegiate foot
ball, however, is far from satisfa Glory as
a demonstration of championship qualities,
for the reason that matches have not yet
been arranged between the best teams of
the east and those of the west. The elevens
of the University Of Michigan and of the
Chicago University usually walk away
from all competitors, and their play seems
to be fully up to the eastern standard
Neither the east nor the west will be salts
fled until the annual contests include the
meeting of the final winners from each sec
ton.

Two Presidents.

President MarroQuin of Colombia is
threatened with overthrow because he was
too slow in that Panama business. His crit
les assert that as he had heard of the vio-
lent feelings of the people of the isthmus
because of the rejection of the canal treaty
he should have had force there sufficient
to prevent revolt. President Roosevelt is
accused of being too swift. He had heard
of the situation on the isthmus, and was
fully prepared when the revolt occurred to
protect traffic the isthmian railroad.

A Romance of the Boulevards,

The latest contribution of the New York
Herald to the Panama canal news is dis
patch from Paris declaring that a very
decided movement is there under way to re-
store life to the French canal company
The dispatch states that public sentiment
is now rising In favor of a completion by
French capital of the enterprise which was
begun and for many years continued under
French auspices. An appeal is made to pa
triotism. on the ground that the action of
the United States in recognizing the seed
ed state of Panama piques the pride of
Frenchmen.
1t Will be a sheer waste of time and
nerves for this country to become in the
least degree agitated on account of the
yelled threat contained in the cablegrams
that the situation may result In a strain of
the international relations. AS the Herald
itself edltorially admits. 1T seems rather
late to insist that France shall build the
canal. which in its present state represents
the squandering of millions of francs drawn
from the people. There Is no more likeli-
hood today that the stockholders of the
French Panama Canal Company will seek
the responsibility for the construction of
the canal than that NJ. de Lesseps the I'M
fortunate protector of the enterprise. will
the financing and engineering of the work.
The United States today possessing an
option on the canal company's property. is
In position TO insist that the new state of
Panama shall respect the rights of the
company. 1t is not going to seek any finan-
cial advantage in the change OF sovereignty
over the isthmus nor will 1t permit the 18TH
mans to play fast and loose with the values
OF the corporation. Those who are imme-
diately behind the canal company know
fun well that if the United States does not
build the canal at Panama no one else will
ever do it. Consequently they can not be
considered as fostering any such movement
as the Herald's dispatches suggest. They
are not at all likely to embarrass this gov
eminent In the least degree by starting or
permitting an agitation in France calculat-
ed to complicate the situation.
1t is amusing. after all, to be told that
France is working up a fever of patriotism
on this subject. Panama has caused great
national distress in France. 1t has drained
the people of their funds. 1t has precipi-
tated scandals among government officers
II has ruined ministries. 1t has threatened
TO wreck the republic. 1t is today the
very last word with which to attempt to
arouse patriotic sentiment.
