WHAT Type OF CANAL

The majority OF the Senate com
mittee on isthmian canal reports in
favor OF a sea level, instead of lock
canal. The committee is closely di-
vided on the question, and everything
indicates that Congress will find it
self in like situation when called upon
to decide which kind of canal is to
be Quilt.
1t is a problem over which even ex-
perts who have visited the section and
gone over the matter with great care
differ. The isthmian canal commits
sion, appointed by the president,
summoned a board of eminent engi-
neers, including several foreigners,
TO advise ii as TO the best type of
canal. This consulting board, diyid-
ing almost evenly, recommended a
sea level canal. All but one OF the
American engineers voted for the lock
canal. Then the canal commission,
acting in accordance with the presi-
dents announced preference, and
presumably with its own iudg-
ment, advised the lock canal.
Now the Senate committee says it
should be a sea level ditch.
Congress will have the final deter
mination, and il il acts over this as
over most things where there is even
less excuse tor differences and delay it
will be long time before the country
knows what kind of canal is to be
built. So far no loss has resulted
through the delay, as work at the
isthmus has been confined of late
mostly to getting ready Tor the prose-
cutiOn of the job, but very soon il
will be necessary to know what type
OF canal is to be built in order to move
in the right directions.
All will admit that a sea level canal
Is the more desirable, but it will take
years longer to dig it and COS. millions
more than lock canal, though the
construction OF the latter Is no child's
play. Either type can be safely built,
so experts declare, but careful thought
should be given to a decision that CEN
turtles viii demonstrate to have been a
correct one.

Mr.. Merritield. as we have said be-

Watching the body day after day,
however, one can see that the calm,
patient figure at the desk exercises an
influence not to be compared with the
sharp-yoiced, quick-motioned officer
who centers passing attention upon
himself.
Mr.. Merrifield's strength as a man
lies in his goodness. We could not
truthfully describe it any other way,
and it is not a false attribute when
aseribed to him, to be dismissed with
sheer. He is called "Honest John
because the title fits him, and he
deserves it. Honesty is somehow his
distinguishing mark. You get the
impression as you watch him, as you
look into his eyes, as you talk with
him, that here is man OF absolute
honor, who would not stoop to do
one mean, unworthy thing for all the
wealth of Midas.
Most men are honest. as honesty
goes. They pay their debts, obey the
law sufficiently to keep out of Jail and
stand by their friends through thick
and thin. But there is standard
quite beyond the reach of most Of us,
that calls for the same consideration
to our rivals, our opponents, our
enemies, that we accord to our friends
that resorts to no petty meanness to
accomplish an end, however worthy
in our sight; that weighs little things
in the same moral balance as great
things that preserves in front always
the firm purpose to DO right in every
detail. In this latter category. we
think it no mistake to place the name
of John II. Merrifeld. Further, we
think ii no reflection upon anybody
else to salute him as Honest John"
Mr.. Merrifeld is not of the militant
type. To those who enjoy seeing the
"big stick" flourished, be is a dis
appointment. But he has a calm,
modest courage. for ali that-a courage
that counts. His Yes is not the
yes OF indecision, nor his mo" the
no OF assent. His first aim is to do
right, as he sees the right, and his
Judgment seldom fails. for his con
science attends it, His second aim
is TO offend as little as possible. He
does no. enjoy the discontinue Of
anyone. His temperament is judicial,
not gladiatorial, But there is in the
study OF this man something uplifting,
as though you were in touch with a
noble character, as free from guile as
any you have ever met. And his
record from boyhood, both public and
private, sustains it all.
Mr.. Merrifeld's experience and
training have been exactly suited to.
prepare him for the presidency OF the
Senate, and such other duties as fail
to the lieutenant-g oyernorship We
see no reason why he is not an ideal
candidate. What his chances for
success are we do not know. We are
in touch with no "machine1 represent
ing him. We are ignorant OF any
plans he has Of capturing caucuses,
and don't believe he has any. II the
people want him he'll serve, be says,
and leaves it there
We rather think they will.

THE REVISED SPELLING.

Editor Advertiser: Much persifage
in by various newspapers ami journals
turnout the country. concerning the
simplifed spelling recently adopted by
the President; but very few have given
the general public a clear idea of the
changes made
Until I iookt the question up l had
become possest with the notion that
the recommendations of the Simplified
Spelling Board meant a radical revo-
luton in the spelling of the mother
tongue The changes are, in fact.
very moderate, and coincide with the
views of the ablest educators in the
country The resistance offered is, for
the most part, due to ignorance of
the very commonsense purpose to be
achieved, which is simply for greater
uniformity and better system in spell
ing
Altho 800 words are included in the
revised list, a great many have been
in general use in America for years
and are really not changes at all from
our standpoint. The most notable in
novations are in those words from
which ugh or ough have been dropt, as
tho, thru, thoro, and those words where
the past tense is formed by the addi-
tion of t, instead of ed Silent let
tiers are eliminated in a few words.
The revised spelling attempts moth
ing violent or far-reaching; but is
merely a somewhat longer step for
ward than those by which we have
been advancing since the beginning OF
the language. In some cases it re
verts to old forms employed by writers
many years ago.
1t may meet with some opposition
for time but is bound to prevail, in
the United States at least, because
OF its very strong appeal to common
sense
Would it not be good idea to
print the revised list of words SO that
everyone may see them9

minions of the liquor trust had turned
him into the street with the coarse re-
mark that he had snakes" for which
he wanted the diagnosis of the Adver-
Users snake editor. In the clinic that
followed and in which the assistance
of an officer from the police station
was required, a rare collection OF
snakes was found in Mr.. Halpin for
which, it is understood, the Zoo will
