A recent thorough investigation Of con

the ages of seven and fifteen years who
are not attending school. According TO
the police census. there are 4s,093 chill

II has been shown that the total en-

Getting Down to Business.

Senator MillaFd, chairman of the
1nteroceanic Canals Committee of
the upper body, is quoted as saving
that the legislative program which
that body will evolve as a result of
its exhaustive hearings, will at least
include the contract system, the
abolition OF eight-hour labor regu-
lations, and the admission to the
canal zone of all kinds Of labor
that are willing TO work there.
This is evidence that the canal
is being put on business basis.
Business methods. added to Uncle
Sans financial resources. will as
sure the completion of the canal
in due time and at reasonable cost.
AS to the contract system, it has
been the judgment of business men
from the beginning that it ought to
be adopted. Government methods
are different from private methods
of doing business. Especially are
they different In this country, where
Government has been more careful
ly confined to governmental func-
tions, and has made limited incur
sions into the field of general bust
ness administration. Contractors
will be free from the thousand an
noyances and restrictions that per-
tain to any political enterprise The
thing to do is to turn over the build
ing OF the canal to contractors, set
an honest and competent supervi-
sorry board over them, and then let
the public and the politicians for
get the details. This is once when

minutes of one Of his conferences with
the fiscal commissioners OF Panama. il
which he is quoted as objec ting TO tie
submission of the agreement to tie

having a formal exchange between ule
two governments.
He made this objection because The

As to the eight-hour issue and the
employment of alien labor-Chinese.
for instance-it is perfectly plain
that good sense dictates recognition
of the fact that conditions on the
zone are not what they are in this
country. To refuse to allow Chinese
to work there is folly. Our own peo-
pie will not go and do the work for
which the Chinese are wanted; and
as to the prejudice which exists
