Mr.. ROOSEVELT ON PANAMA.

In recommending to Congress that
the canal at Panama be built with locks
rising to an elevation of eighty feet.
instead of at sea level, President
Roosevelt disappoints everybody who
desires to see the best possible com
munication opened at the Isthmus be.
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The lock canal can never give to Ameri.
can commerce the quick and easy pas
sage that sea-leyel waterway would
afford.
Instead ofthe Strait of Panama.
which has been so attractively pictured
as possibility of engineering skill on
the Isthmu5, the President asks us to
accept a cumbersome system of hydraul.
ic appliances for lifting ships over the
backbone of rocks which are to con-
tinue obstructing clear sailing to the
ports of the Pacific.
Except that the cost of the lock canal
would be less and the possible time of
its completion shorter, the President
offers no good reason for rejecting the
recomme ndation of the majority of the
Board of Engineers gathered at no lit
tie trouble and expense to decide upon
the best type of canal. These reasons
are weak.
The United States can afford to add
tn the sixty or seventy millions which
the canal has already cost as much
more as may be necessary to build the
kind of canal that is deemed the best.
In the construction of national work
destined to revolutionize the course of
the worlds commerce it Ill BELTS the
Government of the United States to
descend to the cheese pairing of small;
economies.
Ii time is so essential an element in
the completion of the canal it is amaz.
ing that the President, with full power
snd free rein to do the WORK in his own
way, should have allowed nearly a year
and half to have been fritrered away
already. with the prospect of a years
longer delay in beginning the work
OF excavation.
1t Is hoped that Congress will not
accept the Presidents recommendation
The Asiatic commerce which now goes
through the Suez Canal is the only in.
terest that would benefit by difficult
or inadequate crossing of the Panama
lS'hmus. American commerce requires
there the widest and the deepest chan
ne! that abundant money and the best
engineering skill can provi'ie.-St.
Louis Republic.

AS TO RATE LEGISLATION.


As have frequently written, the
railroad rate legislation game is still
holding the boards here and it seems
that some sort of bill is going to be
passed at this session. 1t IS going to
be an emasculated sort of a thing SO far
as railroad rates are concerned, but the
whole animus of the thing seems TO be
med at the refrigerator or private car
lines. 1t reminds me of the time the
preacher went into strange pulpit to
preach sermon and when he asked the
local minister about what he should
talk, the local dominic said to him that
he must not inveigh against the Metho
dists, nor the Baptists, nor the Presby-
Jerians, for there were lots of them in
his town and they would be at the
meeting, 'but," said he, ''there is only
one Jew in the town. Give him the
devil"
Now, then, they are about to go after
the entire fruit growing industry of the
country and they do not know what
they are doing. The fruit growing in.
dustry of the country is absolutely de-
pendent on the refrigerator car. That
car service, in the hands of private cor
porations and not in the hands of the
transportation companies, has been the
father and the mother of the fruit
growing industry of the entire country
and there are volumes of testimony
here given before the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the two COM
nittees OF the House and Senate on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce to
hat effect, and yet they would utterly
8 estroy all this by wiping out the pri-
vate refrigerator car system. [ went
over TO the Department of Agriculture
the other day and asked them over
there for some statistics on the fruit
growing industry of the county, and
Was astounded by the reply that they
had none, in the face of the fact that
there are over $4,000 600 invested in
that industry i'll this country. | mildly

Nothing hes attracted the
attention of the manufacture.

since the days of tariff revis.

amendment to the pure food
bill. 1t is being carefully
studied by the interested par.
ties on both sides, the manu-.
facturer of food products and
the men whose duty it will
be to enforce the law, and
meets with the warmest com.
mendations from all. It is
entirely free from any consti-
tutional objections, and is the
only bill so far proposed
which regulates the manufac-
ture of foods without prohib-
