PANAMA, cAUCA AND BoLIVAR.

The story which comes from Colombia. OF a
plot 20 separate the departments OF Cauca and
Bolivar from Colombia and annex them 10 Pan
ANA, may or may not have some foundation
in fact Ii is quite possible that q separatist
sentiment exists in those departments, and
that q separatst movement has been organ
tied. That President Amador of Panama has
been the chief author and promoter OF the con-
spiracy is, however, scarcely credible. 1t is
possible that the Republic Of Panama would
accept such additions 10 its territory, but we
must hesitate 10 believe that II or its discreet
and conservative Chief OF State would take the
lead In intriguing for that end. and thus IN
possibly incuIT1ng an aggravatiOn Of already
unsympathet1c relations with Colombia.
II is interesting TO recall that several OF the
Colombian departments. provinces or states, as
they have va1ously been called, have at times
shown a desire TO separate themselves from
the Bogota government 1t was IN 1880 that
the present republic OF Colombia. then called
New Granada, was formed. At that time Pan
ANA and Veraguas. the present Panama, ex-
pressed much diSsatisfaction with the voluntary
alliance which they had formerly made with
the old republic OF New Granada, and proposed
10 separate themselves from the rest OF the re-
public. and especially from the government
''of Bogota." Ten years later this separatist
proposal was actually fulfilled. under the lead
OF Jose de Obaldia. Tomas Herrera, Mariana

recommended by Mr.. Byrnes has been afforded
in London. In that city separate tunnels were
constructed for each of the two tracks of at
least four or FIVE underground roads which are
now In operation there. At the outset IL was
believed that the piston action OF the trains
in these tubes" would be sufficient 10 keep the
air pure and cool. Some disappointment was
experienced eventually, and il has been thought
advisable 10 install fans TO assist in the work
OF atmospheric regeneration. Nevertheless, it
would be a mistake 10 draw hasty conclusions
from this fact. The Rapid Transit Commission
does not yet appear TO be in possession of evil
denoe Of the overwhelming superiority of any
other plan Inasmuch as il decided to give the
devices which Mr.. Rice recommended a trial,
the benefits Of his fans and lOuvres should be
thoroughly tested. If they sufficiently cool and
purify the air of the subway, well and good If
they do not some other plan ought to be tried
Possibly the true solution OF the problem with
which the authorities have been confronted for
nearly two years might be found In cOmbina-
tion Of the systems proposed by Mr.. Rice and
Mr.. Byrnes. The Rapid Transit Commission
should not abruptly reject the offer Of the Phil
adelphia engineer TO give a demonstration of
the working of his plan without expense TO the
city.

FOR PEACE AND QUIET.

Some OF the proposals OF the Newark city
government for the suppression OF unnecessary
noises may be considered little extreme but
we doubt If there Is one which can properly
be called unreasonable or oppressive. One. for
example. would forbid the playing of phonO-
graphs or similar machines with their trum-
pets planted streetward through open windows
or doors. II would seem tyrannical 10 forbid
people 10 operate such machines in their own
homes for their own pleasure. But obviously
when one is aimed through an open window at
the street Il is played not for those IN the house
10 hear, but for those In the street. and the
right OF a householder 20 commit auricular as
sault with ''coOn songs" upon every helpless
passer by may well be challenged and denied.
Another proposal is TO forbid the blowing OF
factory whistles for more than three seconds
at a time or at more frequent intervals than
every fifteen minutes. IL may reasonably be
doubted whether there Is now any real need
OF blowing factory whistles at ALL and whether
those ear splitting and nerve racking devices
are not obsolete relics Of barbarism which
should be altogether abolished But IL they

SUBWAY VENTILATION.

Nearly three months ago a Philadelphia en-
g1neer, Mr.. Roger Byrnes. sent a letter 70 Mayor
Mcclellan outlining a plan for yenulating the
subway. The communication was properly re-
1e-red TO the Rapid Transit Commission. which
IN turn handed IL 10 its own engineer for com
ment Nh. Rice promptly made an adverse re-
port On the project The public heard nothing
ot the matter at the tine, but believing that
injustice has been done 90 him in certain par
ficulars, Mr. Byrnes now addresses the board
directly presenting his ideas more fully than
ne did at first BE does not believe that much
OF the heat generated .n the subway Is due 10
transformation OF electrical energy. In his
judgment the chief cause is friction between
the ar, the particles OF dust which II carries
when IN motion and the pillars and walls OF
the subway, and the friction, he thinks. re-
suits from the churning OF the atmosphere by
trains moving IN opposite directions To rem
edy the evil. therefore. he would put a long1-
tudinal partition in the middle OF the sub
way. II that device operated as he thinks II
would. the chTDing would be diminished. less
heat would be developed and the suction created
by the trains would draw in az the stations
the fresh air required.
The suggestion that ventilation would be IA
cilitated by dividing the subway into two par
allel passaGeways is not, OF course, new. II
has been offered repeatedly within the last two
years. II we are not mistaken, faith IN the
efficacy OF the expedient has been evinced by
reputable engineers. well as persons with
out special training and experience. The chief
novelty OF Mr. Byrness proposition lies in GER
tain important details. To avoid the pOssibi-
ity OF occupying too much space be would make
his partition OF sheet from. not masonry. To
enable employees (and passengers) 10 cross from
one side OF the subway 10 the other In emergen-
cies. the barrier would consist OF removable pan
els, fitted IN between the pillars. Finally Il will
be observed. the cost OF etfecting the change
would be comparatively small. These features
OF the plan are sufficiently meritorious TO excuse
a fresh consideration OF the project itself, espe-
caaIly since its feasibility does not seem 10 be
altogether dependent on the correctness of Mr.
Byrness theory concerning the origin II the
heat 20 be dispeled.

bers OF the City Council and other citizens were
awaiting him. military band played Hail
Columbia" The meeting IN the council room
was opened with a speech OF welcome by the
Mayor OF Lima. who said the citizens were glad
TO have Mr.. Root among them. He had arrived
IN the ancient metropolis OF Spanish America. q
country which. after having been shaken and
convuIsed by dissensions. had arisen once more
10 life and welIbeng. with confidence OF future
of order and industry. The Mayor added:
and extend with sincere regard the right hand
Of friendship. We feel pride and satisfaction at
the progress OF your country Soon the vtgor-
Gus arm Of your people viii divide the strip OF
land which still separates the two oceans. The
spirits Of Washington and Bolivar in space

uR. LITTLEFIELD's VICTORY.

In the general view of the country the one
important question TO be decided at the election
in Maine yesterday was whether or not Mr.
Littlefeld should continue 10 represent the I'd
District in the lower branch of Congress. The
assurance that the voters have retained his ser
vices by a substantial majority will be enthu-
siastically received by all Republicans and
widely welcomed by reputable citizens of other
political faiths. The issue was embodied in the
demand of Mr.. GOmpers, speaking for the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, that Mr. Littlefeld
should be defeated because he had cOnspic-
uOusly refused to vote for legislation meant TO
benefit a special class against his own deliber-
ate convictions. 1t is greatly TO the credit of
the Republican candidate that he boldly faced
that issue, and that there was not hint of
hinchlng at any point in the canvass TO which
Secretary Taft, Speaker Cannon and other Re
publican leaders powerfully contributed.
The result is of high value to the country. in
itself and because Of the manner in which it
was achieved. We believe that organized labor,
for whose true welfare every reasoning citizen
is concerned, will fully share in the benefits fol-
lowing a clear cut victory after vigorous cleo
toral contest IN defence of equal laws and lib
critics for all.

emit their murder inspiring cacophony.
Ii is also proposed TO forbid the blowing OF
horns or whistles, the ringing of bells, yelling

attracting attention to the peripatetic bust

dents or the quaint and curious. But that is no
warrant for inficting them upon those who
care for no such things. Perhaps they pro-
mote the business of those who emit them.
But no man has a right to promote his own
business by iniicting a nuisance upon the
whole community. 1t may be that few peO-
pie find ii convenient thus to have their at
tention called to the traffic Of the street But
there are very many more who are almost
unendurably annoyed by these practices.
All these and many others are unnecessary
noises. They probably served useful purpose
once in some places without serious offence.
At this time In the streets Of a great city they
serve no essential purpose and they are grossly
offensive to the vast majority of the people.
To not few. indeed. they are more than Of
fensive; they are seriously detrimental to
health. They should be prohibited by law and
the law should be enforced
