President to the Commission.

President Roosevelt's letter of general
instructions to the commissioners ap-
pointed TO construct the istbmian canal
Is vital and emphatic state paper. l.
exhibits the president In his best form as
an executive ofiicer, and its substance
will surely receive the approval of the
people. There is reason TO believe that
his frank statement of his reasons for St.
Letting those whom he has appointed ia
entitled to full confidence. There was
never an intimation that he was seeking
partisan counsel in respect Of the consti-
tuition of the commission. IL will be
hereafter, II ever, that political partisan
ship has any Influential part in the pros
ecution of the work, and Mr.. R 1osevelt
has given bonds, so far as his own mo-
lives and action are involved, that parti-
sanship shall not be permitted to inter
fere with the conduct Of the work strict
ly as a business job, to be done in the
pest way, with all possible efficiency and
honor, There is no possibility OF mis-
taking the motive or the meaning Of this
instruction. Ii might have been phrased
In more dignifed terms, but 1t could
hardly have been made more explicit
and forcible, -Boston Herald.
