GOOD PRICES FOB WHEAT

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is re-
ported as saying unless changes are made
in our method of growing wheat the
United States will become dependent
upon other countries for its bread. This
is a sorrowful prediction in view of the
fact that millions of acres OF wheat pro-
ducing land in this country is yet to
be brought under cultivation. Secre-
tary Wilson thinks there must be a
greater rotation of crops. Lands must
not be seeded to wheat so often, but
kept longer in grass. In reference to
prices he says: II do not mean to
frighten the people by saying that there
will be great shortage in wheat, but
| am confident that there will be a
large increase in the price unless the
methods are changed. ct present the
per capita consumption OF wheat in this
country is from six to seven bushels and
we are consuming nearly all we raise.
You can see at once what will happen
when there is further decline in the
( yield. OF course, when the price rises
enough tojustIfy farmers in other sections
of the country to grow wheat they will
do so, but they will not begin raising this
staple product in the Middle West until
the prices Of wheat rises to such figure
as will make it profitable.

DIG THE CANAL

The American public has only one in
terest in the Panama Canal Commission
in its various shapes, forms and member
ship. 1t wants the canal dug.
''It wants it dug without delay. 1t de.
sires the work to be done as it should be
by country big enough and rich enough
to have the canal dug right, whatever it
costs. The one sufficient reason for re-
moving the previous commission was that
it was in existence for year without do
ing more than cleaning house.
Tt resembled council OF war, which,
as Napoleon said, "neyer fights" The
new commission is organized for business,
and business ought to be the result. Its
members are less distinguished than those
of the previous commission, but they are
said to be better hustlers. The public
looks to see them justify this reputation.
The organization of the new commission
is sharply divided between those who ad-
minister and those who counsel between
those who makeplans and those who exc
cute them. Only three men are practically
in control, one to direct, one to dig and
one to govern.
"What the final plans are to be can be
decided while the work goes on. For a
year, perhaps for two years to come, it
makes no difference whether the Panama
Canal is to have locks or be a sea level
canal. In either case the digging for
months to come must be done just the
same. Time exists for the consulting
council of engineers to pass on the final
plans, while spade and dredge are steadily
turning.
fMuch is now done for which too little
credit has been given. Sanitation has
been improved. The isthmus was never
healthier, in spite of some faults left.
The decentralization of a region for fifty
years, thronged by the leaving of all
lands, without law or police regulation,
has been swept away. Gambling has
been stopped, protecting the savings Of
labor. Liquor selling has been sharply
regulated. The pestilent suffers who
have hung on the skirts OF this army OF
labor under the French company have
been suppressed. Instead, canteens care
fully Supervised, the Salvation Army and
Young Mems Christian Association work
have been encouraged. Both agencies
are at work under our flag. Both know
it. Neither was present under Columbian
rule, corrupt, inefficient and without
moral standards. These reforms mark an
economic as well as a moral advance.
Nothing in tropical enterprises is SO costly
as labor half drunk, men dying like flies
of tropical fever.
"With this sound beginning, Mr.
Shonts and his two associates, Chief En-
gineer Wallace and Governor Magoon, can
now 90 forward and the country expects
progress in steady digging. .-Ptladelphic

DELAwARE's NEW PARTY

Twice denied the privilege, in spite of
solemn pledges, of voting on the question
of license or no license of the liquor traffic
in this State, the temperance people Of
Delaware contemplate organizing new
political party, to be known as the Citi-
zens' party, which shall absorb the Pro-
hibition party SO far as State issues are
concerned, but not on national issues.
The project was devised by Rev. Robert
Watt, d. D., of Smyrna. president of the
Delaware State Temperance Alliance, and
other members of that organization, with
whom he conferred on the subject Be-
fore it passed for Kent County a Local
Option bill full OF holes," the Legisla-
ture was warned that an outrage against
the rights of citizenship would drive
decent and self-respecting citizens Of all
parties to band themselves in a new
organization, whose chief purpose should
be the maintenance of the dearest rights
of American citizenship, and the organi-
zation of the Citizens party will be the
fulflment of the threat. Besides striving
for local option, the new party will de.
mand wise and economical administra-
ton of the affairs of State and use every
effort to bring to justice those who are
guilty Of the crime Of debauching the
ballot. Full State, county and legislative
tickets will be nominated.

considerable distances in order to snip
goods or to receive supplies. The wharf Is
to be put in thorough order by the steam
boat company, and improvements will be
made to it.
