/ ocKs FOR THE CANAL.

Under strong pressure from the pres
1dent and his canal appointees, the SEN
ate has finally rejected the recommen-
dalton of a majority of the consulting
engineers and agreed to the lock type
OF canal for Panama. If the decision
had been made on a business basis and
as a question of engineering only, there
= no question but that the sea-level
type would have been adopted without
much discussion. As it is. political con-
siderations. the presidents desire to do
things in a hurry so as to make a
showing, and the fear Of criticism. have
thrown the scales in favor Of the cheap
er. more easily constructed canal
It has been accepted as a fact that
the cost of operating a lock canal will
be so heavy as to Offset any temper
airy economy in construction: and it
is apparent that lock system viii
make ship travel across the isthmus
slower and more costly than if the sea
level were preserved. THESE heavy fac
tors in favor of the sea-Ievel cut, how
ever, have been ignored, with the re-
suit that eventually the canal will have
10 be reconstructed TO meet the de-
mands of commerce and bring the
whole system TO the practical, sensible
design advocated by the engineers in
the first place.

CAMPAIGNING IN THE HOUSE.

Some days ago the national house
Of representatives set apart day for
campaign arguments. The chief speak
er for the Republicans was Represen-
tative Lands of Indiana AS Mr.. Ian
dis was put forward by his Republican
colleagues to represent them it is. fair
to assume that they are willing to
stand as sponsors for his attitude.
They. must also endorse his willingness
TO use a threadbare campaign lie as a
method of bolstering up his side. 1t is
a lie that has often been nailed but
it has habit of flowing every little
while out Of the mouth of some Re
publican speaker as naturally as If it
were a fact, and a fresh fact.
Mr.. Lands, going back into ancient
history, told Of the panic Of 1898 and
charged it to the Democratic admin
istration's tariff views. He called at
tention, as thousands of his fellow Re
publicans before him have called at
tention, to the Coxey army that
marched from Massalon, Ohio, to the
capital. He spoke of the thousands of
ragged men who were unable to work
and, his eyes Gin a fine frenzy rolling,
exclaimed: See what the Democratic
tariff did" or words to that effect.
Now Mr.. Lands knows very well, or
he has no business being in the house
If he doesn't know, that the Democratic
/ tariff was no more responsible for the
panic of 1893 than it was for the war
/ between Russia and Japan or the disas-
/ ter at San Francisco. When Coxey'
army marched across IL country the
/ only tariff law on the statue book was
a Republican tariff law, enacted by q
Republican congress, signed by Re-
publican president. This law was
framed by a Republican who after
wards became president of the United
States. William Mckinley, and the
i Democrats had nothing whatever to do
with it. To accuse them of causing
the panic, directly or indirectly, BY
any act or thought or word. is as fai
as it is to give the Republican part!
credit for bountiful crops or generous
rainfall.
A party orator must be sorely pressed
when he has to rely upon fiction ant
ancient, exploded fiction at that. w
wouldn't mind a fresh, new lie Of som
: kind, but this constant repetition of
lie that is more than a dozen year
old is positively an insult to the in
telligent people of the country. 1t j
unworthy of Representative Landi:
r unworthy even of the Republican part

come COLLEGE STATISTICS.

Some Interesting statistics have been
given out about the Yale class Of 1906.
They show that the men who stood
highest in the class were men who
spent S731 year or less for their Iiv-
ing and other college expenses. The
men who were low in the percentage
list spend 1924 a year or more. Many
young men spend very much less than
S7S1 a year In college. Some spend very
much more than S1,244 a year And it
is not so surprising that those VINO
spend the smaller sums should stand
higher than the heavy spenders.
The youth with an abundance of
money at his disposal is very apt to
look around for outlets for it. It takes
time to spend money. Automobiles and
theatre parties. little trips to the big
cities near the college towns, receptions
and entertainments all require time and
attention. l. Naturally the thoughts of
those who enjoy them are diverted
from their studies. The fact that boys
with money stand low does not indicate
necessarily that they are dull boys. It
merely indicates that they can't en-
/ joy themselves and do their college
work at the same time.
/ Nor does it follow that because a boy
/ spends only a few hundred dollars a
year he is sure to stand high in his
classes. Money, or the lack of it, can
not make bright boy out of dullard,
Or the reverse. Generally speaking,
though, the boy with the small allow
ance has a better chance for a high
average than the rich brother because
he has fewer distractions. That is al
there is TO it. And the fact that a
man doesn't win high standing at col
Ilege doesn't indicate UneTringly that he
is going to be a failure in life. The
records show that the low stand" meT
are just as successful, on the average
as the high stand" men, perhaps more
so. as the world measures success.

THE RATE BILL.

Until the rate bill is finally passed
after conference, its complete terms
Win not be known, but it is certain
now the bill will be passed as adopted
bv- the senG re, with very few mOdihca-
tons and these in the nature of conces-
sions to sound public sentiment An
jUportant change is in the clause pro-
bibiting the issuance of passes to GER
tain classes. Originally it was framed
so a railroad could not have issued
passes to its own employees travelling
on company business. Manifestly this
was absurd. AS changed, it viii pre-
vent the issuance of free transportation
only to officers of the national govern
ment, or to state, city. county and
township officials. Members Of con-
gress are included in the national gov
eminent inhibition.
The commodities which a railroad
may not own and transport for itself
include lumber; and to the fair-minded
this seems unjust because a railroad
must have ties and construction tim
bers. and it generally has them avail
able along its own line. To hamper
numbering Operations by railroads will
work an unnecessary hardship on such
lines. Express companies and probably
sleeping car companies VIII be includ-
ed in the law as common carriers sub
ject to regulation.
Taken as a whole, the law seems tC
be fairly satisfactory, and it certainly
is stringent enough in its restrictions
The fact that it is at all complete Is ut
tributable TO the senate, since it can't

constitutionaIity was in doubt and it

would have caused endless confusion
and annoyance to shippers and rail
roads alike. If it. passes the test o
