THE Greatest Danger to the Panama Canal.

The School of Flat Dwelling.

Out of Chicago, the inexhaustible
mother of new ideas, comes the newest
and the best. Certain educators and
philanthropists have hired fiat, in which
the pupils of the John Hambline school
are learning the theoretical and applied
science of fiat dwelling. Since private
houses are disappearing from cities and
high piled pueblos are necessity, and
since to live with dignity and satisfac-
ton in fiat, especially little fiat, is
task Of no small moment, 1t is better
than we'll that the young fiat jewellers
should be taught to flat dwell.
Would the placid and forgiving temper
of MARCUS AURELlUs keep its philosophlc
calm when the janitor yelled Git of the
stoop or III throw you off, We should
like to hear what EPICTETUs or EsoP
would say as they dumped up to the

ISAAC NEWTON, VIGOROUSLY helpless in
worldly matters, would have lost his key

get it; but now home is home no longer.
People live in hotels, apartment houses,
flats, tenement houses-one rose OF

gone. The beehive remains Well, to
accustom oneself to this conglomerate
and noisy existence; to consent meekly
and duly to be cabined, crbbed, con-
fined; to hear the banging of many
pianos, the sound of many solos, the
ineffable toot of the man who plays the
flute, the irritating murmur OF many
voices; at morn the clatter of dumb
walters, the yells of grocery boys and
milkman; at night the loud laughter
of the hired girl, puellae risus 40 angulo;
to smell hundred bookings; to battle

does this for a Mere Man loves indeed.
You can bet million to Depew souve-
mir spoon that none of the ladies famous
in the annals OF romantic love would
have put up with that sort Of thing for
a week.
Great must be the friction, the worry
and the strain OF this modern high life.
If the children can learn betimes what
they have to expect; can study all the
fine economies of space and Of fiat econ
omy, happy they when they grow up.
Since, however the exclusion of children
from flats and the turning of the world
into fats make it reasonably certain that
before long there will be no children.
the school of fiat dwelling must be re-
garded as toy of fancy rather than the
long awaited university for the people
which it seems to be at first sight.

The District Attorneys Turn.

The first investigation Of the Equitable
by the almost forgotten Frck committee
was for special and private commercial
purpose.
The second investigation, made by the
State Insurance Department, was In effect
a confession Of the incompetency OF that
department during many years past
Now, at last, the evidence gathered by
Superintendent HENDRICKS is in the hands
OF District Attorney JEROME. He is not
Obliged to confne his researches to the
testimony that has come to him tardily
from the Insurance Department. All the
vast powers of his Office, backed by the
courts and the Grand Juries, are his for
independent investigation If he sees fit to
undertake it,
Mr.. JEROME can take up, for example,
that matter of the mysterious loan OF
$8s5, 900 carried by the Equitable in the
Mercantile Trust Company, which Mr..
HENDRICKS says he told Governor HId-
GINS he had been unable to fathom, not
having heard OF it until his prelimi-
nary inquiry was about completed. Mr..
JEROME need not wait for Mr.. HENDRICKS.
He can tackle the s6s5,oOO on his own
account.
The policyholders and the rest Of the
country look to the District Attorney for
a thorough and fearless, a real investiga-
ton. They expect him to clean out the
sink not sprinkle rosewater on it.
There will be no sheltering of smirched
responsibilities, no fear Of political or
business consequences, no covering up of
nasty facts. Mr. JEROME has before him
the biggest job Of his life. We believe
that he will do it, not merely half dot.
And we believe that he will have all the
help that PAUL MORTON and the present
Equitable management can give him.

Progress in Colombia.

All reliable reports from Colombia
indicate the opening of new era for that
hitherto unhappy country. How long
the era will last is another matter. The
best that can be done is to hope for its
continuance.
If President REYES goes on az he has
begun, he will make deep mark in the
history of Latin America. He is re-
ported as having reduced the Colombian
army from 1900 to 5000 men, and as
having put 1000 of his soldiers at
work improving the highways of the
country. He is trying to reform the
sorely disordered monetary system and
establish conditions which would make
possible the adoption of gold standard
His method OF increasing revenues by
creating Government monopolies in
liquors, hides, cigars, cigarettes and
matches may not be entirely commend
able from the American point of view,
but it Is a system to which resort is fire.
quently made in Latin America, and is
therefore less offensive there than it
would be with us. The extent of his i'm
provements will depend upon the amount
of his revenues andsthe honest admins
traton of them. If the people are salts
fed with the plan, as they are said to be,
any comment by aliens is super1uous.
The great need Of the country is 1000
miles of railroad. Colombia is unques-
tionably one of the richest regions in
the world, but there is to-day no means
OF getting at her treasures. She has
mining possibilities OF endless value,
and agricultural possibilities whose de-
velopment depends only on transpor-
tation. Travellers and explorers report
the great valley Of the Cauca as almost
without rival in its agricultural oppor-
tunities. Colombia his a few short and
scattered "streaks of rust with right Of
way and a time table" but she has no
railways. A line from Buenaventura,
on the Pacific coast, to Bogota, by way
of the Cauca valley, and another from
the head of navigation on the Magdalena
River, to connect Bogota with the world
by the way OF the Caribbean Sea, a
total Of about 1000 miles of road would
make Colombia second Mexico.

overture at the opera was played by foreign band
and the only man who looked like an Englishman
WAS the player OF a triangle. After the opera his
supper was served In an italian retaurant. and he
went home after smoking Turkish cigarette. On
his way home he was accosted by French, Austrian
and German dcmi -mondaines.

not to deny that France and Great Brit
ain have, as independent Powers, a per-
feet right to enter into treaties over
which no third Power can arrogate the
right Of review. Such treaties, how
ever, bind only the parties. BY the
Anglo-French convention Great Britain
herself undoubtedly would be estopped
from interfering with the gradual estab-
lishment by France Of protectorate
over Morocco. But England could not
convey to France what the former Power
never possessed, the right to set aside
an international convention, or to inter-
pref it to please herself, disregarding
the views Of other signatories.
Now, NJ. DEIcAssE might have ad-
mitted that there was technical ground
for the construction placed by Germany
on the Madrid convention, and that
legally the Anglo-Frenoh treaty could
not supersede that instrument 80 far as
third parties we're concerned. But
he might have added In effect: We
purpose to defy the other signatories,
except the two, Italy and Spain, whose
concurrence. we have procured, and so
long as France can rely on the fiscal
military and naval assistance Of Great
Britain, she will treat Germany's pro-
tests with indifference. In the judg-
ment of dspassionate onlookers Premier
RoUvIER is entirely right in taking
much less optimistic view of the power
of an Anglo-French alliance to fight
with the German Empire. He sees,
of course, that in such contest Ger
many would lose her colonies and her
merchant navy-perhaps most OF her
warships as well. For such losses
however, Germany would be able to
recoup herself many times over at the
expense of France which almost GER
tainly would be unable to cope with her
opponent on land and in all likelihood,
would be subjected to such pecuniary
and territorial e1actions as would reduce
her permanently to the rank of a second
class Power.
Rejecting, therefore, the Delcasse
assumptions as untenable, Premier
HOUNlEh ylelucu tiio NitoA PohiN Wv
issue, and agreed that all provisions
affecting the political status Of Morocco
should be relegated to an International
conference in which all the Powers repre-
sented at Madrid in 1880 should take part.
Inasmuch as the German Chancellor in
the notes exchanged with France is
careful to say that no measures should
be taken by the conference calculated
to impair the sovereignty and independ-
ence of Sultan MULAI ABDUL AzIz or
the territorial integrity of Morocco, it
is obvious that the French dream of
creating an empire in northwest Africa
must now be recognized as but the base
less fabric of vision.
What Germany has done in this bust
ness is to make France feel the iron
hand, though she has seen fit for the
moment to incase it in velvet glove.
