PROBLEMS OF THE
PANAMA CANAL.
Tampa Times.

Mr.. Shonts, the new president OF
the Panama canal commission, and
Mr.. Stevens, the new CHIEF engineer,
are both just now landed on the canal
zcne and have begun 20 size up the
elephant they have on hand. Few peo-
pie have the slightest idea of the mag
nitude of the undertaking upon which
this government has entered. To see
an engineers sheet, it looks as though
there were so many yards of dirt
and stone to be removed to such and
such distances-a very simple prob
lem under the circumstances. SO
many yards, so many cents per yard,
so much money. But in the canal the
problem admits of infinite variation.
One man says that in the deep cuts
tie clay will dissolve and slide until
the width of the ditch al the top will
reach half mile unless the sides are
held in place by retaining walls.
Another will call attention to the
fact that the uncontrollable Chagres
river, backed by $50 inches of rainfall
in occasional years, will submerge and
wipe out and fill up miles Of the ditch
as fast as it is excavated that it mus.
be damned away from the course Of
the canal, which makes an addition
to the cost almost equal 10 the original
estimate.
Another individual SAYS the dangers
to health are insuperable and that
miasma will take tens of thousands
of lives as told, that hospitals will be
the most numerous and busy buildings
on the zone, and the cemeteries the
greatest centers of population. AL
ready the price of the cheapest labor
has doubled what it was when the
original estimate was made, and the
clerical portion OF. it has not only in
creased vastly in price, but the amount
OF that sort of thing to be done has
grown to enormous proportions COM
paratively.
1t is agreed by all the authorities
that the zone must be made healthy
and habitable by the American stand
ard, and this must be done before the
main work is seriously entered upon.
This will cost untold millions of dol
lars, and-may not be within the
bounds OF even appropriate POSSIBLE
ity.
These are some of the concomitants
OF the situation which MeSSrS. ShOnts
and Stevens are to-day for the fire.
time facing, and no sane and sensible
man envies theim their situation.
That they CT their successors will fin.
ally accomplish the work goes as a
matter of course, but 1t will be an
achievement costing more in every
branch of human energy than the
politicians and the public have been
led 70 believe.
When finished the work will be an
everlasting monument to the enter
prise of the American people a tribute
to their rockies disregard of the coss
of accomplishing anything they want
to do and undertake 10 do. 1t will
be of great benefit to the world, but
later in the day Uncle Sam will say,
like Senator Plat, IF | had it to do
over again | would take the Nicaragua
route"

THE PENSACOLA
CLASSICAL SCHOOL
OPINION OF EDUCATORS AS TO
ITS WORK.

Prof. Walter Miller, professor OF
Greek IL Tulane University, after
visiting the classical school, wrote
the following unsolicited opinion to
friend and colleague:
THE Pensacola Classical School IS
doing a splendid work for the cause oil
southern education. 1t Is established
upon broad principles, it cherishes the
highest ideals of scholarship; 1t main
tains a high standard of excellence;
and by the best modern methods and
equipment 1t secures thoroughness OF
training comparable with that afforded
by the great fitting schools OF the
east. To my mind the Pensacola
Classical School is one of the very
best secondary schools Of the south. -
DR.. Venable, president of the Uni-
versitv of North Carolina, writes: 1T
gives me pleasure to testify to the
..horoughness of the preparation )f
the students who have come from
your school to the university. We
should be glad to haye more Of the
same type"
DR.. Geo. Petrie, professor of Latin
and History in the Alabama Polyteca-
ric Institute, writes: Il consider the
Pensacola Classical School one of the
best fitting schools in this section OF
the south. l can confidently endorse
the thoroughness of its work and the
healthy. manly atmosphere that per-
yades the institution.

SECRETARY TAFT
AND OUR COLONIES.

The position Of Secretary Taft with
reference to the Insular possessions
OF the United States has been the sub
ject of a great deal of comment and
his advocacy Of free trade for the
Philippines, while being opposed to
free trade for the United States has
been more or less severely criticised.
The Birmingham Age-Herald again
brings the subject up and comments
thereon as follows:
Il is hard to harmonize colonies
and Dingleyism. To speak the plain
truth IL difficult to find justification
for either in the federal constitution,
but the republican party long ago
adopted Tim CampbelPS view of the
instrument of 17SS, and they propose
20 have colonies galore and to impose
tariffs without any reference TO reve-
nue., but with strict regard for cam
paign subscriptions and party Support
ers.
Secretary Taft Is not, however, a
strict standpaEter for he advocates
fIee trade for the Philippines. This
means that the Philippines should be
considered a part Of this country, and
that trade between the mainland and
The islands in the Orient should be
tree. While the islands would be
Dingleyized, trade to and from the
states would be free.
England would dislike the change,
and So would Spain. and so no doubt
would Japan and China, but Dingley-
Ism is always absurd, for il expects al
the other countries of the world to
buy our products, although we erect
wall against their products. In the
long run the scehme will prove harm
tul and other countries will begin to
erect walls also.
BUT Secretary Taft goes still further.
He wants a minister for the colonies,
or at least a colonial bureau. He pro-
poses 10 unite for the purpose Hawaii,
Porto Rico, Alaska and the Philippines.
Guam and Samoa shouhl not be over
hooked. Doubtless he thinks free trade
should be fitted to all our colonies, and
when his colonial bureau is in full
operation no doubt he expects the ten
dency towards the gathering in Of
more colonies would be accelerated,
We are doing a world stunt at present,
and Secretary Taft's plans are but a
development of the imperial idea
which has been grated on the instru-
uent that thirteen states hesitate ed
over when the ratification came up.
They may have fOreseen an empire
with colonies and discriminating tar
tEs.
