A Conspicuous Failure.

The advocates Of pu bic owner
ship do not find much encourage
ment in the progress which the
government has made with the
construction of the Panama
canal.
The building the first Pacific
railways were as great achieve
ments as the building of the
Panama canal and the Pacific
railways we're built with the ex-
petition, with certainly from the
moment that the railway en-
gineers took the matter in charge
and with the greatest economy
possibly under the circum-
stances. Why cannot the Pana-
ma canal also be so built? Appar-
emily the only reply is that the
latter is a government undertake
ing while the great Pacific rail
ways were undertaken by pri-
vate individuals for private pro
fit.
There are great obstacles to be
overcome on the peninsula, but
the engineering genius of man has
easily overcome every obstacle
that has stood in the pathway OF
private profit and it is nothing
short Of weakness to say that the
Panama canal cannot be finished
with comparative certainty and
despatch. The trouble is not in
the undertaking but in the man
ner of undertaking it.

RAGE RIOT SEEMED
 TO BE INEVITABLE
ELLEN N, A SMALL TOWN IN GEORGIA, HAS SERIOUS ExPERl- ENCE WITH uNRULY NEGROES. NO ONE WAS INJURED.

Atlanta, April 20-(Speeial) )-frhere came very near being a race riot at Ellen N, a small station on the Southern railway, about six miles from Atlanta, last night.
 The trouble really started Tuesday, when Superintendent Waugh who is in charge of the grading being done by the Southern near that point, ordered Will Jones, a negro employe, to pull some spikes He replied that he could not pull the spikes, but that he could do the su- perintendent up without any trouble. Su- perintendent Waugh promptly knocked him down. Waugh and several other white men at the works then mixed in a hand to hand encounter with the negroes and the latter were finally driven off.
 Tuesday night Jones and some of his companions returned at midnight and fired several shots at Superintendent Waugh without effect The county police were called on, and last night they kept vigil watch. The negroes returned as before and some twenty shots were fired One or the negroes was arrested but has not yet been brought into the city. One Of the bullets went through the hat of Superin- tendent Waugh and another smashed his lantern, but nobody was wounded. The county police are still on the alert, and It is expected several other arrests Will be made.

 Mir Compton declared it woulS require 50 per cent increase in business to make Up for the loss in revenue if the reduction should be made. He expressed the opin- ion that there would be no increase in travel at all
 Mir. Compton showed also how the re- duction to two cents mile would re- Ge orgia lines figured. Ii would reduce the rates from the Ohio river to Jacksonville and from Washington to New Orleans. This would also cause great loss to the Georgia lines.
