Panama Canal Prospects,.


with such precipitation and with
out time for him to take more thar
q glance at the canal, is very Gig
nificant, and what he says is still
more significant. In. his opinion
work on the canal should not be
gin until sanitation Of the zone
is complete. Here we are In the
second year after purchase OF the
canal and are gravely informed
that no work Is being done and
that none should be done until
sanitation is complete, and that
in the year and a half gone by
sanitation has made no material
progress. The swamps along the
Chagress still send forth their fe-
vers Just as they did when Nunez
crossed the isthmus four hundred
years ago. How long will it take
TO sanitate the hundred miles OF
Chagress swampsi II it takes a
year and a half to begin, no one
can toretell the time it will take to
complete the gigantic work, so as
to commence building the canal.
And yet Congressman Shonts
says that the Panama canal
will be completed in five years.
Former Engineer Lawrence gave
it from fifteen to twenty years.
The commissioner is exceedingly
chippy in predicting that the canal
will be completed during Presi-
dent Roosevelt's administration,
unless he means that the term Of
Mr.. Roosevelt will be prolonged
after the Mexican fashion.
The isthmus situation is beOom-
ing scandalolous. Nothing is be-
ing done and the prospect for the
future is exceedingly gloomy. Such
an acknowledgement is to be re-
GREETED, says the New Orleans
Item, but the surest way to secure
reform is to acknowledge facts and
arouse public authorities to the
necessities of the situation. The
Washington Times says:
"Former Chief Engineer John
F. Wallace, of the Panama canal,
will be given a chance to tell his
story to congress, through a con-
gressional committee, during the
coming winter. Mr.. Wallace has
been great deal talked about,
but has said nothing since he re-
signed his position and had the
resignation summarily accepted.
Charges, more and more openly
made, and more and more specific,
involve the canal management, and
a congressional Investigation is
considered almost a certainty. II
it is made, Mr.. Wallace will be
the star witness. He knows more
about the canal than anybody else.
he hasn't told it as yet, but there
is little doubt he would tell If he
had good opportunity to tell it,
to a friendly audience.
It will be the duty Of congress
In December to furnish the people
with all the facts as to this canal
The examination should
be searching and honest, and not
merely perfunctory. 1t will be
recalled that at the time of the
purchase Of the canal, Senator
Morgan, who had long been chair
nan Of the canal committee, was, |

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
May Be Called to Arbitrate Between
Sweden and Norway.

London, Sept. 16.-Denial is made of
the report that Lord Lansdowne, head
Of Great Britain's foreign affairs, has
been asked to mediate in the Swedish
Norwegian troubles. Prof. Harold
Hjarne, member of the Swedish rigs
dag, in an interview this morning, says
that there is nothing to the report
about Lord Lansdowne. He suggests
that President Roosevelt be asked to
act as arbitrator of the differences, as
the United States ia quite disinterest-
ed power, although many Scandina-
vians reside there. II England were to
be asked to officiate, he added, Ger
many would be offended, whereas 1t is
impossible for any of the European
powers to object to President Roose-
welt.
Contradictory reports continue to
reach here about the mobilization of
troops in Norway. Norway semi-ofi-
cially declares that no troops are being
modified and that no war preparations
are under way. Sweden, however,
semi-officially declared that the rumors
are true, and that Norway is preparing
for hostilities.

OF PENCILS
AND TYPEWR|TERS
ARE BEING INVESTIGATED BY
THE KEEP COMMISSION.
Wide Range Of Prices for the Same
Class Of Goods In Different
Departments

Washington, Sept. 15.--The Keep
commission, which is engaged in inves-
tigating departmental methods and in
augurating reforms, particularly in the
purchase of supplies, has discovered a
difference in price of supplies ranging
from 80 to 100 per cent. All depart
ments buy under the same methods,
letting the contract to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder, yet the great differ
ence in cost is not infrequent
Variations in prices of specific arti-
cles of supplies, as they are bought for
different departments, are said to be
nothing less than sensational, in illus
trating the inadequacy of present pur-
chasing methods.
In the one item Of lead pencils, of
which almost untold millions are used
annually, tremendous variations in
prices are shown. There are $50 differ
ent makes and kinds of pencils used,
and they range from I'm to 70 cents
per dozen. The range is very wide In
the prices charged for the same pencil
in different departments, still wider
DtlWtch peuCiiS thue aiS pioSs'S''J SHS
same, but under names of different
manufacturers.
Thousands of typewriters are used
annually. It is found that the stand
ard price approximates $50 each.
1t is the plan Of the commission to
recommend that supplies be standard
lied so far as possible, and that CEN
trail purchasing office buy them for all
departments.
II is the purpose Of the commission to
first take up reforms that can be ef-
fected without new legislation. These
include the whole question Of supplies
1t is the purpose of the commission
amount used, methods of buying
qualities, prices, etc. 1t Is now assured
that millions annually can be saved II
this item alone.
The substitution of modern methods
of handling office business for the sys
TENS in vogue in many branches OF TIT
service will be taken up. This will
probably require the preparation OF
legislative problem for congress to con
slider.
