When it was stated that the sup
plies for the Panama canal would
be bought in the cheapest market
which was equivalent to saying
that they would be bought in Eu
rope great howl went up from
producers in this country, but it is
fact known by a great mar y
large firms that the United States
is hard customer to do business
with. In the first place the con.
ditions required in contract with
the government are usually diff
cult to comply with and are such
as a firm would make with no
other customer. Men who do work
for the government must be con,
tent to wait many months for their
pay, and they always run the great
risk of having their goods thrown
back on them because Of the re.
port of some inspector who may or
may not know his business, and
who probably is not specialist in
his line. The amount of red tape
in the form of ad vertisement, COM
petitive bids, etc., results in de.
cided increase in the cost of com
modities which the government
buys by reducing the competition
that would take place if the gov.
eminent bought as private firm
would.

Inc pTeSluenJ III his speeCn az
Jacksonville last week went into
the subject of the Panama Canal
at greater length than he has done
before in a public speech. This is
subject that lies near his heart
and ii is not improbable that his
administration will be in the future
generations better known by the
canal route than for any one thing
Biased or prejudiced reporters Of
his speech have interpreted feel
ing of encouragement that in real.
ity has no existence. BY admit
ting that there were difficulties
and obstacles to be overcome they
affect to believe that the president
has "soured on his job" and by
reiterating the statement that there
are Adventures and feeble spirited
men at Panama they pretend that
the president believes he will new
er find men equal to the great un.
dertaking. This is not the atti.
tude of the presid ent and the news.
papers have read into his speech
meaning that he never felt or in,
tended. There is in fact no occa
sion for panic discouragemen about
the Panama canal. 1t is true that
the project is the greatest of
of the age and perhaps Of
any age. The president is per-
haps least of all the one to assume
that the work mi ght have been
conducted without difficulties but
the American people are not easily
discouraged and Mr.. Roosevelt
who has already accomplished 80
much that had been pronounced

is probably true that the canal will
be slower of construction than was
anticipated. What man havin.

volume a conspeotus Of English slang,
like "A Dictionary Of Slang and Colloquial

Henley George Routledge and Sons; T..

Of a larger work, "Slang and Its Ana

the fault Of all abridgments, the frst Of

A more serious omission is that Of all terms
that might bring the blush OF shame TO

the dictionary in the family library, but
detracts from It's usefulness, for there Is
slang that is profsne and unit for publica-

british Miniatures.

A charming addition 10 the 'Connolsseur's
Library edited by Mr.. Cyril Davenport,
l. the volume on Miniatures, by Dudley
Heath (Methuen a Co.; @. P. Putnam's
sons. The title is not wholly accurate,
for after a few general remarks on mini
atires in the Middle Ages and in manuscripts
the author limits himself almost wholly
to British miniatures though he h7s chapters
dealing very slightly with the French and
Italian miniaturists.
Within the field 20 which he has limited
himself he has written very pleasant
book and has illustrated 1t abundGntly in
black and white and In colors. The student
might prefer fuller account Of Continental
artists In place Of the account Of modern
painters. but as Il Is the book covers British
efforts pretty fully.
The typography, as in all the other vol
umes Of the series, Is beautiful. and the
Illustrations are in the size Of the originals.

Parlslan Anarchy.

A very Interesting study Of the neither
aide Of Paris IL presented by Mr.. Alvan
Francis sanborn in Paris and the Social
Revolution (Small, Maynard 4 Co.,
Boston,. Mr.. SanboTn shows that he
knows his Paris thoroughly. II may be
that Paris has lost the place II held In the
world and that a revolution starting there
viii not spread as ii did In 1880 and In ls4s.
Il may be that many OF the things noticed
by Mr.. Sanborn are by no means 80 i'm
portant as he thinks. Nevertheless he
has written an account Of anarchists Of
all sorts a. they are known h France that
il accurate and deserves attention.
When he wanders away from them 20
what he fairly enough calls anarchy In
literature and In art he touches on matter
that, while OF far less moment, Ia perhaps
more interesting 20 the general reader.
Everybody has heard Of Montma tire and
its eccentric Literary and artistic develop
ment. II is possible TO take these too
seriously, as we think Mr.. Sanbon has,
and we doubt II they have had any serious
influence on French life. The little reviews,
the eccentric forms Of art, have seemed
much bigger 20 those who have shared in
them than TO anybody else. But they nave
been talked about a great deal, and Mr..
Sanborn Is able to d &c ibe them intelh-
gently. 90 that his readers will understand
what they are and what they profess to be.
France, however, Is not the Quarter
