THE PRESIDENT AND THE CANAL.

There is nothing surprising in the report from Washington that
President Roosevelt is not in favor of the decision reached by the con-
sultng engineers to recommend the construction of a sea level canal
on the isthunus and that there is strong probability that he will reject
it. Some of the grounds on which the engineers reached the decision
are indeed surprising and anything but satisfactory to the non-profes-
sional mind. One member of the board makes the statement that "t
may be that several of US will not see the sealevel canal finished in
our lifetime but adds this makes no difference, inasmuch as the
enterprise is to endure "or all time"
But it does make a great deal of difference. This country is not
planning to build a waterway for the sole benefit of coming genera
tons What is wanted and what is demanded S immediate aid to our
own commerce and the commerce of the world by the construction of
an inter-oceanic waterway.
In his remarks to the consulting engineers on the occasion oil
their visit to Oyster Bay last September, President Roosevelt con-
cisely but forcefully expressed the American idea when he admonished
his hearers to remember the need of having a plan which shall pro-
vide for the immediate building of a canal on the safest terms and in
the shortest possible time"
Following this he made the timely and significant statement:
There may be good reason why the delay incident to the adopting of
a plan for an ideal cana. should be incurred; but if there is not, then
/ hope to see the canal constructed on a system which will bring to
the nearest possible date in the future the time when it is practicable
TO take the first ship across the isthmus; that is which will in the
shortest time possible secure a Panama waterway between the two
oceans"
This Is the plan upon which the American people insist the canal
shall be constructed-that is, for immediate as well as permanent
use; and as the president is pretty likely to see it is put into execution.
it is probable many, if not all the eminent consulting engineers. will
live to see the uniting of the Atlantic and the Pacific by way of the
Isthmus of Panama.

NORWAY BEGINS HER NEW CAREER.

The acceptance yesterday by Prince Charles of Denmark of
equipment, and it will now start on its career as a ~fulLhedged indie
pendent state. That the vast majority of the people of Norway
favor a monarchy was shown by their emphatic verdict at the election
recently held for the purpose of obtaining an expression of their
sentiment, and that verdict need cause no surprise. There is no
question that environment had much to do with it. Surrounded as
they are by the domains of crowned heads, the Norwegians appear
10 have made a wise choice in deciding to keep in harmony with their
peghbors.
Unquestionably a republic in Norway would be dstasteful to
the car OF Russia, the German kaiser, the Austrian emperor and
King Oscar OF Sweden. In settling a question of this sort Switzer-
land and France count for but very little. The Swiss republic is too
small to throw any weight into the scale, while France is too distant
as well as too Indifferent to exert any potential influence. AS for
England, it seems to be a safe assumption that she exercised influence
on neither side and that she would have welcomed a republic as cheer
fully as a monarchy, although the heads of the new Norwegian gov
eminent have strong British connections.
Norway is today prepared for recognition by the nations Of the
world. A minister to the United States is reported to be on his way
and there is no doubt he will be received promptly and cordially. and
be accorded all the privileges conferred on the representatives of
other independent countries. Through the new king and his wife
Norway will enjoy affiliations with many Of the royal families Of
Europe.
Her independent career is begun under promising auspices. and
though one OF the smallest of nations she has an interesting and
creditable history OF still greater consequence is the fact that she
has an intelligent, industrious and enterprising people and resources
natural and acquired, adequate to the support of a much larger popu-
lation than she now possesses.
