Frank A. Day, retiring president of the
State Editorial association, seems to think
that Minneapolis does not appreciate the
editors. On the contrary, the city is de-
lighted to have the editors convene here.
Minneapolis only wishes that the country

Newspaper supporters of Mr.. Dunn
auditor have attracted such attention, told
Mr. Dunn not to pay any attention to the
second letter. In the text Of the letter
he demands its publication, and if he made
a verbal request so contradictory it was
not creditable to the high professional
Mr.. Dunn's pamphlet. Either the gentle.
man has been misrepresented, or else some
one is keeping mighty close track Of Mr.

George Durant, the coffee merchant, goes
to his physician in an agony OF pain,
caused by a, disease of the heart which
has robbed him of sleep for nights, and

Durant is persuaded to get into the doc

persuasion and appeals to Durant's i'm
agination, he is gotten into deep sleep.
The next morning after the two have had
their breakfast together, the doctor gives

Of canal navigation. 1t is estimated
that a vessel would he three times
longer in going through canal by
Nicaragua than by the Panama route.
Aside from the value of the canal to
the United States. from II military
point of view, it will prove of great
value to the industrial and CONNER
cial interests of every section of the
country. The expense and delay now
incurred in commercial intercourse be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific sections
of the United States and in the trade
between the Pacific States with Europe
Impose IL serious limitation upon the
progress of our industries. Cheaper
and more expeditions access to the
Pacific markets will benefit not only
the Northeastern States by furnishing
cheaper raw materials and larger mar
kcts for their industrial products, and
lie Southern States by increasing their
exports of cotton and its manufactures
forest products, iron and steel manu-
features. but also the Central West
which is now manufacturing extern
sively for the foreign and domestic
trade. The canal will benefit ali these
sections by furnishing larger bust
ness with the Pacific coast, and ell
nance their ability to compete with Ell
rope in Western South America nnt

failure of De Lesseps, n new organi-

construction was continued merely to
preserve the concession, in the hope
that the property and concession
would be purchased by the United
States. The price ut which the prop
arty was offered was so large that the
Walker Commission, which had inye5-
tigated the general question, recon-
mended the Nicaragua route; but sub
sequently the Panama Company Of
fered the entire property for $4,000
600, and the property was taken by the
United States at those figures. 1t is
estimated that The completion of the
canal will cost S144.O00.000. and If the
money to be paid the Panama Com
pany and the Republic of Panama be
added. it will be seen that the cost OF
this work to complete will be at least
5000, 100000, and may reach $o25, 000.-

1O.5OO,0O0 net tons. At the rate Of 81
per net ton of register. the income
from the canal would be in 1914 about
STGoO.OoO and in 1924 about S10,5GO,
600. The annual cost of operation, 1T Is
estimated, will be $2,030,OG0. The eN-
tent to which the canal will he used
will depend largely on the ratefof tolls
charged. Light charges will give the
Panama Canal large part of the trade

Murder in South Carolina.

South Carolina by the attorney-gen-

tlon Of murders for the United States
per 100000 of population was some
thing more than II, and the proper
tion per 100000 of population in

Giving us the benefit of every doubt,
the bloody fact remains that we do
more than our share of murder per
acre and per capita in South Caro-
lima than is done in any other state
or territory of this country. Compar-
alive figures in estimating the de-

little account, however; the main

East and Australia, the advantages at
present being greatly in favor Of Eu-
rope.
The report of the Walker Commits
sion points out that the canal will have
an especially direct and important eff
feet upon the market for American
coal. Vessels engaged in our own or
European commerce through the canal
will find 1t to their advantage to pur-
chase American fuel on our Atlantic
or Gulf seaboards, or In West Indian
and Central American stations. The
larger commerce which the canal will
cause to move across the North Pacific
may increase the demand for the prod
uct of the Puget Sound mines. The
low cost at which coal can be placed
at tidewater on the Gulf and Atlantic
seaboards. and the fact that there will
be considerable movement of vessels
in ballast or with part cargoes west
ward through the canal, makes 1t prob
able that the coal required for indus
trial purposes on the west coast of
South and Central America, and for
commercial uses in those regions, and
to some extent In the coaling stations
of the Pacific. will be supplied from
the mines in the southern and eastern
sections of the United States. The de
mands at home for the coal of all the
mining centers of the United States
will be enlarged by the canal in pro
portion to its effect upon the develop
ment of American industries.
The effect of the canal upon the rail
roads in the eastern and southern sec
tons of the United States will be fa
yorable. The lines in the central Yves
will feel the competition in rates some
what more than will the Eastern ant
Southern roads, but the only business
that can be diverted from them is til,

Nothing came from this investiga-
ton in the way of promoting canal,
but it may be said That the construc-
ton of the railroad was the result. On
the completion of the road appropria-
lions were made by Congress for carry
ing the mails across the Isthmus. Varl-
GUS efforts followed to secure conces-
sions from New Granada and Nicara
qua for citizens of the United States
10 construct canal. some of which
were successful, but none of which nc.
cornplished anything practical. In 1875
the Colombian Government made a
concession to provisional company
formed in France. for period of nine
ty-nlne years, for the construction OF
n canal across its territory, and this
concession was subsequently trans
ferred to the Panama Canal Company
which undertook the work of construc
ton, but failed and went into llquida
ton, Ferdinand de Lesseps was presi
dent of this company. Following thu
