THE Panama Commission is very busy
with preliminary work in connection with
the big canal. 1t is now sending to the
lsthmus large quantities of dynamite for
blasting purposes and it will also estab-
lish a printing office in the Zone. The
Government has decided to build large
dry dock at Panama. 1t is intended to
make it the largest and most efficient on
the western cost of this hemisphere.
This is in anticipation, of course, of the
day when the United States will control
the commerce of the Pacific ocean. and
be the paramount power in Asia. The
Commission will not be able to control
the Panama railroad until next April.
After that time it is expected the carry
ing trade from this country to the 18TH
mus will be thrown open to competition.
At present there is but little material to
transport.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT can see no good
reason why mechanics employed in the

for that half day as well a clerks who are
in the employ of the government. AT all
events he has induced the comptroller of
the Treasury to take his view of the mat
ter and now people who work with their
hands and brains in the District of Co
lumbia will be treated on the same foot
ing as those who work with their brains.
