Probable Leaders.

Nobody can ever complain that July
4. 1906, was not duly celebrated.
President Roosevelt. at Oyster Bay
and William Jennings Bryan in Lon
don, to say nothing of smaller states
men, delivered speeches worthy of the
occasion. Each of those illustrieus pa
triots appears to have greatly pleased
his audience, and their speeches We're
read by millions with eagerness. There
is a growing belief among the masses,
without regard to political affiliations,
that these two will be the opposing
candidates for the presidency in 1908
Consequently every word they utter is
closely scanned by all who take even
a passing interest In public affairs
Judging from current comment heard
on the trains, in hotels, by the wayside
LIN fact, everywhere the only thing
that will prevent President Roosevelt
from being renominated will be his
positive and absolute refusal to accept,
and everything now points toward
Bryan as the Democratic standard bear
er. OF course any one of a score of
things may intervene to change the
situation radically. | am giving it as
the people now see it.

non and the whole Republican ma
chine were not whipped clear out Of
their boots by the Democrats and in
surgent Republicans in the statehood
fight The president gave the pen with
which he signed the Oklahoma state
hood bin to Beveridge. What the Hoo
sier senator wants with it is a mys-
terry. 1t seems to me that SO often as
he looks upon it he will recall his
great defeat If 1t had not been for
the solid Democratic vote, aided by the
insurgents, bill would have been ram
med through congress making one state
out of Oklahoma aud the Indian Ter
ritory and another state out of New
Mexico and Arizona. That was the
administration measure, fathered by
Beverage and pressed with might and
main both from the White House and
from the speakers chair But the
Democrats and Republican insurgents
stood firm and made the good fight,
triumphing in the end over the presi-
dent, the speaker and other coadjutors.
1t was a bitter fight, bitter as gall
the most bitter of the session and left
scars which will not heal In long
time If ever. Words said and things
done in that contest will rankle when
many of the participants are in their
graves President Roosevelt might
present Senator Beveridge with all the
pens In America and then not convince
the observant that those twain achiev-
ed victory in the statehood matter.
That portion of the new state of
Oklahoma now constituting the Indian
Territory now comes in with a prOhi-
bition condition. 1t may be interesting
to know that at least three other states
were admitted on conditions Missouri
that she would never enforce the con-
stitutional provision against the set
Element of free negroes or mulattoes in
the state; Michigan on condition that
she relinquish to Ohio all claims to a
certain disputed strip Of territory; Utah
on condition that she prohibit polyga-
my within her borders Texas came in
with two privileges that no other state
enjoyed first Of retaining all her
public land and, second, Of dividing
herself into five states whenever she
gets ready, which she will never do.
State pride is too strong. The Texan
who would advocate such a proposition
would run the risk of being mobbed.
AS a result of retaining her public
lands Texas will some day have a pub
lie school fund equal to the combined
school fund of all the rest of the states.
She has pursued the wise policy of
leasing them instead of selling them.

lake Erie and Ohio River ship canal.

Lake Erie and Ohio River Ship Canal.
The prospects Of Pittsburg, always
bright, were greatly improved at the
recent session of congress. One of the
most important actions of that body at
that session perhaps the historians Of
the future will rank it as the most i'm
pOrtant-was the granting of charter
for ship canal from Lake Erie to
Pittsburg. That it will when built
make great changes, especially in the
growth of Pittsburg, must be clear to
the duIlest intellect. 1t will also settle
for all time to come the question Of
deep water in the Ohio from Pittsburg
to Cairo Most assuredly Pittsburg is
to be most heartily congratulated upon
her good luck. The canal is to be 103
miles long and is estimated to cost
S46.0O0,O0O The chances are that it
viii cost more. It is to be built by
private capital--not dollar to come
out Of the national treasury There
was strenuous objection to it on the
ground that it might ruin the water
supply of several small cities and
towns and of numerous manufacturing
plants, and there is much reason in the
contention. There was also strenuous
objection to granting a private corpora
ton ownership of ship canal, and
there was much reason in that objec-
ton But the desire to see such an
important waterway established over
came, after thirteen years Of struggle,
the obvious objections and the great
scheme is launched 1t is said that It
is already fully financed and that the
actual digging will begin next April.
OF course certain railroads also OBJ
jected because they think It will in
jure their business. But the chances
are that the commerce of Pittsburg
will be so increased that the railroads
will have more business than before.
The truth is that the American peo-
pie are just beginning to wake up to
the possibilities of increasing our
wealth and commerce by building ca
nails and improving our rivers. The
Chicago drainage canal to the Missis-
sippi is almost certain to develop into
a ship canal from Chicago to the gulf.
A canal across Florida from the gulf
to the Atlantic will surely be built, also
one across Maryland. These canals
will bring vast changes with them in
the shipping and manufacturing bush
ness. Ship canals are time savers In
an eminent degree. No other species Of
transportation compares In cheapness
with water transportation, and the
time will come when there viii be a
ship canal built wherever sensible men
believe 1t will pay.
