THE CANAL AUTHORIZED.

The action OF the Senate IN raufyiug
tho Panama treaty yesterday assures a
Panama canal. Behind the enterprise
now Is the United states government
ana whatever the difficulties to be en-
countered, we shall divide North from
south America and connect the waters
Of the two oceans.
It is probably the greatest engineer
ing undertaking OF any time, yet engi-
neerlng is a science that IS becoming so
exact that the thought OF failure has
never entered our minds. Ere long the
controversy which has ragged over the
affair win disappear and win be re-
called only to illustrate the fact that
no great enterprise can be pushed TO a
successful issue without strenuous OPP
position.
The Democrats under the lead Of
Senator Gormon endeavored to make
out Of It party question. but when
the vote was takon they were equally
divided-fourteen for and fourteen
against II Is matter of pride that
tho vote OF Delaware was for the meas
ure. In the years that arc to come,
when a great part Of the commerce Of
the world shall pass through this cut
through the mountains, it VIII be the
chief incident by which the first ad-
ministratlon Of Roosevelt win be re-
memhored
1t Is safe 70 assume that II win not be
made an issue In the next campaign,
since those fourteen Democratic votes
for the measure would have to be ex-
planned.

TWENTY FOR DAVIS.
Morrilton Has a Wood Club That Insures a Victory For Oppo-

Rev. F. M. Wylie, editor of the Morrilton Headlight, is one of the dozen delegates from Morrill, ton to the Good Roads conven- tion. To a Little Rock reporter he made the following statement:
 The main topic of conversa- tion upon our streets is the po- litical situation. Two years ago Governor Davis carried Welcome
 (Morrilton) township against Rector by vote of 319 to PAP. There are now 300 names upon the list for the organization of a Wood Club at this place, with new ones being enrolled every day. A call has been issued for the members of the club to meet at the court house Friday even- ing for the purpose of perfectlng the organization. 1t IS expected that this will be one of the larg- est and most enthusiastic meet ings of Democratic voters this township has ever had. One of the most hopeful features of the situation is that the farmers of the township are joining the club en masse, and are in the majori- l ty. Conway county is all right. z
