DIG THE CANAL

President Roosevelt's plan to legis- late the Isthmian canal commission out of existence and put the work in charge of Secretary Taft, as his own representative, is chsracteristically Rooseveltian. But change in some form seems desirable.
 The commission IS composed of able and eminent men, but some of them gre so fully employed elsewhere that they can have little active connection with the canal. Others are so we'll advanced ID years that, valuable as they may be in counsel, they are not fitted for active field work in 6 tropic climate. The commission has in fact been in Panama only six weeks in the past ten months.
 What President Roosevelt wants in the canal zone is precisely what the people wsDt-corsruction. TheySdo not care whether the canal is dug by a commission or by John Doe. if it is only dug. They are surfeired with delay. World.

AGRICULUrRAL PLENrIrUDE

AGRICULTURAL PLENTITUDE
 After reading the government statis- tics of the value of American farm products for the year just past one is certain to be strikingly impressed with the colossal wealth of American agri- culture and its profitable diversity as well.
 The twelve principal articles of farm produce had a market value at the place of production on December estimated by the department of agri- culture at the enormous total of s2,- 734, S63, 702, and the bumper cotton crop is excluded from the estimate. This is s2OO. .676.335 more than the yield of 1903. and $l7s, 96s, 2S6 more than the yield Jf 1909. which was accounted bumper year. treaking sli previous records of production
 Of the cereals, wheat alone is short. which is only a relative expression, for the wheat crop is enormous. The final estimate falls but S5,0O0, GOO bushels below the great yield of last season. Our wheat exports this year are some 54,000, 900 bushels less than up to a corresponding date last year. but we gre using more wheat at home than last year. With 50, 10000. 900 bushel wheat crop bread ought not to be high in the United States, and but for niller's trust it would not be high.
 The corn crop seems to be running 2 close race with the cotton crop for redundancy. The final figures are set down at ?, 300. 900 bushels, which indi- cates 8 record yield.
 u remains to be seen whether this plenitude of agricultural production will materially affect the excessively high cost of living If there is any thing in the law of supply and demand. it will. If it does not, producers and consumers will know that the middle men and the speculators are making rich hauls.

BAfD AND ARIZONA

Concerning the repentance of Sens. tor Bard, because of his attitude to. wards Arizona two years ago in the United States senate the Los Angeles Express says:
 Having done his best to create 8 condition, to-wit, the exclusion of Arizona from statehood honors, Sena. tor Bard now is busily engaged in a forensic effort to undo the harm attrib. uted to his earlier oiatoricsl argu. ments. This is prsiseworthy, even though regarded in the light of a deathbed repentance, but his oonstitu. ents would have been much better pleased had he considered their wishes and the desires of Arizona in the first instance. It was Bard's attack on Arizona, his denunciation of the terri tory's claims to be admitted that turned the eastern senators against the proposition and resulted in nn adverse majority report, to which rhe sOuthei . California senator added his vote. ."

4 representative of the Lewis & Clark exposition, to be held next year in Portland, Oregon. visited Phoenix last week, laying the ground plan for a1 appropriation by the legislature of Arizona for an exhibit of the territory g the coming exposition. Arizona should be represented at the Lewis &
 Clark exposition. but it is doubtful if the legislature will feel warranted in providing very large appropriation.

The Los Angeles Express says that rather than lose the California senator ship to southern Californa, the delega. tons in the legislature from that sec tion should pick 8 new man rather than take chances of losing with either Flint or Oxnard, assuming that Bard is already out Of,the running. Among the available reserves in the senatorial timber belt Of southern California the Express mentions the names of Grant, Hunting ton and Mckinley.

Senator Bard's present effort oH Dc half of Arizona is fully appreciated. His course two years ago was inexcus- able and did great harm to the people of this territory. As he will not be reelected and has done much to right the wrong he did Arizona the people here should barbor no further ill viii against him.

NEW MEXICO POLITICS
Says the Industrial Advertiser, pub ilshe at Albuquerque. New Mexico:

GAyo N1O EAO~ ilshe at Albuquerque. New Mexico:
 ''If the Santa Fe ohjectors would bring out some of the most important objections to statehood, they could get following. It is a well known fact that many of the best citizens oppose statehood because of the corruption at the pools. In Colfax county the re. publican bosses cast $50 fraudulent votes for the republic ticket; in Torrance county the republican bosses cast some 400 more votes than there were voters; in Valencia county the county returned about five times as many voters as there were votes cast, and in several other counties the same thing is done regularly every two years. Now, if the Santa Fe politi ciRns will make their fight against statehood along these lines they will get a following.
