The Lock Canal Decided Upon

and discouraging to men Of middle age;
who have hopes Of living to glide On a

as they glide: "My, my, I remember

of its inception. ....>u.- -.,-..... ,...
The history Of the canal project has
not been distinctly creditab1 tho it
will doubtless be agreed finally that the
mistakes which have caused delay have
been those Of American optimism. We
went down to9the~ isthmus. with an<idea
Of making dirt fly. We have found
that some other things are necessary
before that. We have, for one thing,
to determine where we will put the
dirt. This involves the decision Of the
type of canal. There are certain en-
CINE ering problems, such as the dis.
posal Of the waters of the Chagres
river. These, too,s involve the type of
canal. Altogether, 1T would seem as
tho we should have made an adequate
study of the engineering problem and
decided what kind Of canal we should
build before we touched the ground.
The thing we have gained by digging
and studying concurrently is a knowl-
edge of the problems Of labor, Of hous-
ing and of health. This has been worth
all the apparent delay in the actual
work on the canal. AS we have pro-
ceeded with the canal matter we have.

that the French failure was largely due

but it is not insurmountabl e. No. (, VI
The extraordinary handicap that has
been put upon the financial side Of the
canal building by the house is. now
the most serious, drawback to success.
The calmness with which congress has
handed the trusts power to bleed the

prehensible unless we view congress as

In a Hurry at Last.

Like the little boy FIVE minutes late
for school who tries to make it all uI
by running the last block, congress is
growing excessively busy in the final
days of the session. Yesterday the SEN
ate agreed with the house on the lock
type Of canal and the house took up in
earnest it's substitute for the senate
pure food bill. The yconferees on the
rate bill held what they considered
their last session and the conference on
the meat inspection bill began to- get
busy. Concurrently, work on the sun
dry civil bill, the naval bill, the immi-
grafton bill and others was carried for
ward. There is not member of con-
gress SO humble but can find employ
ment at the capitol these days. The
congressman takes for his motto the
sentiment of the village blacksmith.
''Something attempted, something done
Has earned a nights repose.'
This loading of the closing days with
work is growing more characteristic of
the American congress. It iollies itself
with laugh. song and political diatribes
upon something or nothing for months,
and then, suddenly awakening to the
fact that the people are in earnest, it
begins to thrash about in wild eff
fort to please it's masters. Under no
circumstances that could be cited as
businesslike has congress any excuse
for having on it's hands all at once, at
the very close of the session, such i'm
portant measures as the rate bill, pure
food bill, statehood bill, immigration
bill and three OF four of the regular
supply bills.
So far as the. meat inspection meas.
ure is concerned, congress received word
Of the need Of that legislation late in
the day, and has worked faithfully
upon the problem. The status Of the
other big bills represents the spirit Of
procrastination, which, apparently, is
growing upon congress.

In the Interest Of the Public.

The bankers Of the state resolved
again yesterday in favor Of the incor-
poration of all banks in Minnesota.
either under the national or the state
law. The bankers have urged this
upon the Legislature for several sises-
sions. The strange thing iss that mem.
berss Of the legislature, not interested
in private banks, should hesitate to
comply with this 3 recommendation.
Manifestly it is made not in the inter
est of the incorporated banks so much
as In the interest Of the public. The
private bank would exist as compet-
1tor for the incorporated bank after
incorporation, SO that the advocates Of
incorporation are not removing compe-
tltlon. On the contrary, they are in
creasing it, because the private bank
becomes stronger and more formid-
able institution after incorporation
than before. &E42
The only reason for resisting this
effort to require all institutions doing
banking business to be Incorporated
under the laws of the state or under
. /
the federal laws as banks is that such
incorporation would subject them to
inspection and supervision Of the state
or national bank examiners The re-
sistance of such examination is on it's
face calculated to weaken confidence
in them, while incorporation would
strengthen it.. Nevertheless, we shall
probably have another fight over this
measure in the next session Of the legis-
lature and while the sentiment in favor
Of it grows, not enough interest may be
aroused to carry the measure thru at
the coming session. Some day incor-
poration will be imposed by law. The
sooner it is, the sooner the entire bank
ing business of this state will be
strengthened by the added public conf
dence which incorporation and the con-
sequent supervision Of every banking
institution will beget. This will be in
the interest Of the public more than Of
anybody else. -5...t,t
