The Herald believes that Mr.. Fox
deserves a better fate than the humil-

upon him. Whether they were re-
sponsible for his candidacy or not,
they are certainly responsible for as
crushing defeat as has been forced
upon politician for ten years, for
at last the masses are aroused to a
sense of their duty toward ring poll
tics. They will stand for it no
longer. Water Valley Herald.

THE GEARY-sFREET ROAD.

THE Examiner urges the people to vote for the
Geary-street bonds, and gives as a reason that
L if the road is reconstructed by the city the
Board OF Public Works will reconstruct it with the
new improved groOved rail, such as is now being
laid on Third street, and which, it also alleges, is
used in Washington.
This would be very good argument if it were
true but the fact is that the plans and specifications
as prepared by the City Engineer, and upon which
his estimate of $4,000 is based do not call for this
rail- except from the corner OF Fifth and Point Lobos
avenues out Point Lobos to Tenth avenue and out
Tenth avenue to the park, where there is now no
railroad and where there must consequently be an
entirely new construction
But It is not true to the present road The rail
provided by the City Engineer for this road from the
corner OF Keany and Market streets out to Fifth and
Point LObOs is the rail now used by the
Geary-street road II the city to tear up this
rail and put down the above mentioned new rail the
estimates would have to be increased from $4,000 to
$4,000, and~the bond issue OF $4,000 would there
fore fall short OF the entire cost by about $4,000
The Examiner further states that in the city con-
struotion the streets between the tracks would be
paved with the material as is laid in the rest
OF the street while the present Geary-street road is
not 50 paved. An examination OF this road shows
that the space between the tracks for thrty-seven
blocks is paved with the same material as the rest
OF the street while for nine blocks where the street
is paved with btuminous rock the space between the
tracks is paved with basalt blocks we'll laid in
cement.
In the discussion of this question it is well to
stick TO the facts

THE DELAYED CANAL.

w 7 ASHINGTON dispatches announce that
wv the State Department deems the Panama
canal treaty dead by reason of the failure
Of the Colombian Government to take favorable ac-
ton upon It within the time agreed upon. The
whole issue is therefore reopened Under the
Spooner act President Roosevelt can now take I'D
the Nicaragua route, or he permit the matter to
rest for time in the hope OF finding some way of
reaching an agreement with the Colombians.
The situation is favorable one for the display of
statecraft and diplomatic skill The people of the
United States eagerly awaiting the construction
OF the canal They have watched with an increasing
impotence the incessant recurrence OF difficulties in
the way Of the enterprise. 1t was fondly believed
when the Panama treaty was ratified by the Senate
that the last obstacle had been removed and the
great work would soon be under way. That hope
has been disappointed. The opponents Of the move
rnent have found a means for battling the national
viii, and once more the whole project is in danger
OF being subjected to new controversy among the
advocates of rival routes.
Fortunately we have a President who can be re-
lied on to act with promptness and Secretary of
State who has proven himself one Of the abest
Ministers Of Foreign Affairs now living 1t is
therefore reasonable expect they will take I'D the
issue at once and set in motion negotiations which
viii lead to satisfactory treaty with either Colon
bia or Nicaragua. The great mass of the Ameri-
can people are Indifferent which of the two
routes be chosen for after all the choice is one of
comparison only. Each of the two is in some re-
spects superior the other canal by either would
most decidedly be better than The country
expects the President TO act under the authority
given him. so that the issue may once more go to
Congress and be made the subject of useless and
tedious debates The people know the President has
a right to act, and they expect him to act right.

resented execution of the law against itself Mr.. Oh
ney would suit as well as any other candidate
The third reason is unique in American politics.
Never before has candidate been recommended for
the Presidency the ground that he will be a
vengeance candidate, serving to work the re-
venge of certain interests that believe they have been
injured The plea is of course unjust to Mr.. Oh
ney, and it does not accord with the second reason
given for his nominaton-that he stands for law and
order-for if he have true regard for law and or
der he would enforce the law against corporations
that violate it just strictly against any else.
1t may be that the captains OF finance would like
to beat Mr.. Roosevelt and that Mr. Olney would
serve them candidate as well as any other Dem
ocrat but if it be so they will have to keep the
vengeance programme dark as Egypt, for even
the casual suggestion of it is enough to endanger
whatever chances the Massachusetts leader may have
of getting a nomination.

the reorganizers feel they must have somebody in

The revival of the discussion of Olney's chances is
the more interesting by reason OF certain new argu
ments advanced to prove his availability. Some of
these are worth stating. A Boston authority gives
three reasons why he should be nominated summar
ling them in this way: Il. Western Democrats
know that success is impossible without candidate
acceptable to the East. They would support Olney
because he is one of the few prominent Eastern Dem
ocrats who did not repudiate Bryan O. Standing for
