A seA.LEvEL CANAL.

| II HE committee Of expert engineers
- having almost unanimously de-
cided that a sea-level canal at Pam
anna is preferable to canal with locks
it win not be easy to convince the
people that the latter scheme Is de-
sirable.
II is rumored that Congress or the
administration may see NJ to disap-
prove the finding Of the eminent engi-
neers whose individual regulations are
such that they cannot be attacked. To
|antagonize this report VIII mean a
mighty wrangle and chaotic public
opinion.
We read that II is felt that the canal
should be completed that this genera
tion may have some benefit from It,
This view minimizes the magnitude
and significance OF the enterprise. This
canal is intended to serve commerce for
all time to come; and we do not desire
Ia temporary and unsatisfactory solu-
tion, but II possible. a canal that win
prove satisfactory to the commercial
interests of the people for all the gem
erations to come.
The commission OF engineers was se-
lected because It was felt that the
opinion It would give would be impair
tlal and final No layman is competent
to reverse that opinion on It's merits
To deliberately fly in the face of these
unbiased and admittedly competent ex-
perts would be to take chances that
laymen should hesitate to take.
1t win be a sea-level canal now. or
there viii be a mighty row In Congress
that will ind its echo throughout the
country.

SALT LAKE ANrl.MoRmoN.

W f HAVE heard great deal re-
w Gently about the growing
power OF Mormonism. We have been
warned that unless it Is checked It win
dominate many Western States and
come to be a great force for evil in the
country az large.
And yet at the recent election right
in salt Lake city the Mormon candl-
date for mayor was beaten, and Of all
the municipal onices hred only two
are members Of the Mormon Church.
Not enough faith has been Imposed
IN the spread OF liberal ideas, the forces
OF education and the influence of the
gentle element which has settled in
Utah. About quarter OF the popula-
tion of the State is to be found IN the
county which contains Salt Lake City,
and here the Gentnes are largely pre-
ponderant.
la addition it has been plainly shown
in recent years that large element OF
Momons of The younger generation.

Of their fathers. feel neither sympathy

ing into daily contact with Gentiles

ness, they do not essentially diner
from them in the quality Of their
Americanism or in their disposition to

needs reforming.
The betterment OF the public service
in all branches Of the Philadelphia gov
ernment is now taken for granted. and
the officer who would stand out against
it would be regarded with horror,
whereas a month or two ago he would
have been viewed with complacency.
Reform not only expresses the wishes
OF reformers. but It creates healthy
public sentiment that even the worst
-grafter dare not defy.
