MOVING RIGHT AHEAD.

That our neighbor on the turbid Chattahoochee, Columbus, is in earn est along the line of solid and perma- nent improvement is made plain by the announcement that the Columbus Wa ter Power Company has arranged to at once issue bonds to cover the cost of Improvements decided on. Of this amount something less than one-third l is to be expended as fast as the work of erecting a great electric power plant can be pushed. That work, and the immediate development of the C0mpany's property in Columbus Is but the beginning. but it is thought it will be sufficient to supply all the cleo tric power needed at this time. The remainder of the four millions will be held in reserve and used as fist as other and further demands are made for power.
 In addition to developing the water power now available, work upon an auxiliary steam plant is to begin at once which will supply electric power in case of accident to the water power plant. This is a wise and necessary precaution, for with all the skill and care that can be used in controlling and utilizing the waters of a large river which is so subject to sudden rises, accidents may occur by which the many and varied industries of the city would be paralyzed but for the proposed steam plant which will be always in readiness.
 For many years Columbus has been building up and carrying on large manufacturing enterprises of various kinds, drive nby water or steam. and Is fast becoming a great manufactur- ing city. Of late, however. the won- derful power and adaptlbilty of elec- tricity have been manifest and that is one thing that is giving such an im- petus to the spirit of improvement and material development that bids fair to make of it one of the most impor- tant centers of manufacturles in all the South. We can heartily commend the spirit that promises so much, and can congratulate the city that Is taking advantage of the natural advantages at her door.

 MT. Tanner also complimented the women of the South in the highest terms, saying:
 "The union forces would have achiev- ed success, in my opinion, eighteen months sooner than they did if it had not been for the women Of the South. Why do I say this? Because 1t is worldwide knowledge that men never carried cause to the dread arbitrament of the battlefield who were so lntense- ly supported by the prayers and by the efforts of the gentler sex as were you men of the South.
 "Every mothers son of you knew that if you did not keep exact step to the music of Dixie and the Bonnie Blue Flag, if you did not tread the very front line of battle when the con- test was on. knew in short that if you returned home in aught but soldierly honor that the very fires of hell would not scorch and consume your unshriven souls as you would be scorched and cnsumed by the scorn and contempt of your womanhood. The same condition of affairs, though not to such unani- nous degree existed north of Mason and Divon's line.
 "When one speaks of the woman of the war. he would not if he wished and could not if he would draw Il geographical line that shall mark a division between women on the matter of support of the cause for which their loved ones battle. so when I speak of the women of the war, can group in one mass the loved ones of your household and those who are nearest and dearest to us"
 The last formal address of the day was by Major Charles R. Miller, of Cleveland, Ohio, Commander Chief of the Spanish American War Veter- ans. The youngest of the speakers, his address was received with marked att tention and enthusiasm. He said:

WEDNESDAY. MARCH 2s. 1906.
AGAIN, THE CANAL.

Engineer John F. Wallace favors a sea level canal and says it can be built fn ten years at cost of about three hundred million dollars. Discussing his opinion, and the divergent views in Congress and among the engineers, The Chattanooga Times argues that "the American people want the canal and they are not particular whether it is sea lever or lock and dam;' hence ident can "p1oceed at once with the president if he will only proceed at once with the digging and as prompt ly as possible obscure all criticisms and opposing obstacles with showers of flying dirt.'''
 It is rather singular that The Times should hold the opinion that the Pres ident ca n"procesed at once with the digging" when really he has about as much power in the premises as Gov ernor of Alabama could have to regu- late railroad rates. Congress has not yet come to any agreement on the kind of canal we are to have and may not agree during this session. Neither the engineers nor the Congress seem able to agree on the character of the big ditch, or on the way the work shall be done or on the management and bossing of the job.
 As we view 1t. neither a little addi- tIonaI time nor expense should stand in the way in thAs enterprise. If a canal is constructed fl should be for all time, and if it takes longer to finish it. and if more money is required the time and the money should not be stinted or grudged. People may and do differ as to whether the canal should be at Panama or NicaEauga, and men who are competent to judge may hold di- verse opinions as to the character of the canal itself. for such differences are natural and to be expected. If con struetion work should be entirely stopped until definite plans and speei- feations are agreed on there would be no harm done. for most that has been done has been done in the dark, as it were.
 Looking ahead, and considering the work as one for all time, so far as human beings can look and judge for the future, we are of the opinion that 1t will be good judgment and economy to make the canal at sea level That it will cost more at the outset Is pro- bable. and equally probable that more time and labor will be required to fin ish the work, but both will be saved in the end because of the saving of time and money that must inevitably be ex- pended In keeping up and repairing a canal with locks. It is a stupendous undertaking, and no skimping should be desired or tolerated. Let some Cef- mite and permanent plan be agreed on. however, and then something can be done. There has been so much mol ing, so many disagreements and mis- understandings, and so much ST picion and pickering, and so many charges and countercharges exchanged that the country is getting tired, suspicious and disgusted with the entire business We expect little from the President and 1t begins to look as if not much can be expected from Congress at any early date. Making the dirt fly is a very poor business if it doesn't fly in the right way.

This is a req sonable explanation and probably the true one. as great many of our noun tains. streams and places derive their names from famous Indians.

A JUsT CASE FOR INDrGNATIoN.

In his efforts to drag Arizona into the Union tied on to New Mexico as one State. President Roosevelt has for feited ali right to the claim of being in favor of "a square deal"
 Arizona has an area of 1fs,0o0 square miles. or more than three times the area of Tennessee. and a population of 123,000, or nearly as large as the popu- lation of the States of Nevada and Wyoming combined. Besides, the peo- pie of Arizona are of native birth and customs, while those of New Mexico although native in the sense of having been born in that territory. are still foreign in customs and modes of thought. Says The Chicago Chronicle.
 The men and women who are chill dren of the people of sixty years ago still speak the corrupted Spanish they spoke then. They keep up the old mix mixed sI, Spanish and Indian traditions l to be loyal to the United States and perhaps they are, in their way, but 1t is woefully poor way.
 The Arizona people, outnumbered by them, do not object to being outvoted by them because they are of Mexican blood, but because they persist in con tinuing of Mexican habit and thought. Even the language of the territorial courts Is Mexican, and if any use is made of the English tongue it has to be interpreted to the majority. often to all, the Jurors. In Congress a case was cited of an American who was tried for homicide in one of their courts. He pleaded self-defense, but the jury convicted him of murder and he was executed, though of the twelve men who tried him eleven did not understand a word of English. and all his Testimony was in that tongae. Scarcely any at- tention Is given in the schools to teach ing English and the children of the third generation since we acquired tho country are growing up as ignorant of English as did their grandfathers under Santa Ana. This was the reason for refusing Statehood to the Territory thirty and more years ago.

cLUBwoMEN's CONVENTION.
General Federation Meeting at st. Paul,
Mimi.

ST. PAUL, MINI. May 31.-Women from
all parts OF the United States are in st.
Paul attending the general federation of
womens clubs.
One question that is likely to come up will
be a proposed change in the organization.
At the present the organizat ton of the fed
Grafton Is rather complicated Some of the
clubs belong directly to the general fed
GRAFTON, without being members of the
state federation, while others belong 20 the
state declarations, all Of which are members
Of the general federation. Sometimes dis
trict declarations and other combinations OF
clubs have membership in the general fed
Grafton. At the convention each state fed
Grafton has a certain number of deleg tes,
and the clubs and district decorations
which have direct membership send dele
gates in proportion to their size
The plan proposed is to have each club
belong TO the district federation wh IN usd-
ally corresponds to the boundaries of The
congressional districts, then have each dis
trict federation a unit In the State fed
Grafton and each state federation a unit
in the general federation. This would sim
phfy the organization considerably ana
would make the apportionment Of the rep
resentation in convention an easier matter
The formal opening of the convention took
place last night at the National Guard
Armory, at the corner of 9th and Exchange
streets, where all the meetings will DO
held.
Miss Margaret J. Evans. dean of the
woman's department of Carleton College,
delivered the invocation. Mrs Julia
Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of the Re-
public was sung by the convention and
then Gov. Johnson. Mayor Smith and others
delivered addresses. Mrs. Decker presi-
dent of the general federation. responded
This morning the first business session
was called, and consisted of reports of
committees and officers. There will be morn
ing afternoon and evening Eessions every
day until Tuesday, June s. the convention
will transfer its business to Minneapolis
for day: "Wednesday June q, the election
OF officers will be held. and an evening ses-
sion devoted to Women in the Profess
sions" will practically close the conycntion.
During the week there will be number
OF sectional meetings in the old capitol
rooms. art exhibit in the art society
