A Maine Man to Build the Canal.

That brilliant son of Kennebec
County. Chief Engineer John r.
Stevens of the Panama canal project,
gets a deserved promotion to the chair
manship of the Isthmian Canal COM
mission as a result of the resignation
of Chairman Shonts. Nobody doubts
that he will make good in his new
position as he has in everything he has
undertaken in his busy life. While
there is no reason to doubt that Mr..
Shont's resignation was accepted by
the President with reluctance it seems
to be agreed in Washington that Mr..
Shonts can at this time retire from his
canal work without serious harm to
this great undertaking. There has
been a mass of organizing preparations
to get through with. and Mr.. Shonts
has arranged all these necessary de-
tails with admirable skill and judg-
u,ent But, this work being done, it
will go on under other hands as we'll
las under the supervision of Mr..
Shonts; and therefore. as Secretary
Taft said in an interview in no de-
predatory way, but merely as an ex-
pianation, Mr.. ShOns's continued
presence is not absolutely essential"
The opinion in Washington is that
John F. Stevens. who succeeded
Wallace as chief engineer. will now be
placed in practical control of the entire
work. The headquarters Of the canal
commission are to be removed from
Washington to the Isthmus and a new
chairman will presumably be named t.
look after details; but it is not thought
likely that Mr.. Stevens will be made
subordinate to any official on the
lsthmus. 1t is certainly true, the
Indispensable details of a large and
continuing organization having been
arranged by Mr.. Shonts. that MIR. Stew
ens's work as engineer is the key to
the entire undertaking. That the re-
sponsibility, which rests upon him in
any case, should be recognized in
form as it must be in fact, seems to
US to be a natural arrangement at this
stage of the work, and one that is
sure to promote the unity AMI eff.
cheney of our canal operations.

There are at least two other British
Doors than Governor Swettenham
down Jamaica way. The American re-
fuges who reached New York this
week on the steamer Prinz Eitel
Friedrich had many bitter complaints
to make. These unfortunates have
united in a formal statement-fortified
by abundant specifications-that Capt.
Parsons Of the British steamship Port
Kingston, and his superior, Sir Alfred
Jones, treated them not merely with in
civility, but with brutality. Moreover,
the colonial authorities. police and mill
tary. were absolutely Indifferent to the
sufferings of 'the large body of Ameri-
can refugees on the Hamburg AIneri-
can docks"

Swettenham and Schmitz.

The Springfield Republican draws an
interesting comparison between Mayor
Schmitz of San Francisco and Cover
nor Swettenham of Jamaica. and de-
cides that in an earthquake crisis the
mayor is much to be preferred. He is
said by his critics to be rogue; at
least, he is under indictment for ex-
tortion. and official San Francisco could
hardly be taught new lessons in graft.
Mr.. Schmitz, too. was "a fiddler before
he was a mayor. and no one can ac.
clse him of previous training for his
work as an administrator.
Now Gov. Swettenham is violent
contrast to our American earthquake
mayor. He is so honest and SO
scrupulous in his ideas of official recti-
tude that he locked the wages of the
government clerks at Kingston who
stayed at home to tend the sick and
dying members of their families after
the city had been rent and ruined. He
stopped the free service of the govern
ment trains for refugees so soon, in
the interests of economy, that the
archbishop appealed to him in the
name Of humanity to start the trains
again. Gov. Swettenham il these
respects is all that a lifetime of train
ing in the irreproachable British
colonial service could make man.
Schmitz was a poor Cog compared with
him.
But the earthquakes came and the
CONGREGATIONS. and then where We're
the disciplined Swettenham and our
undisciplincd Schmitz? It's an amaz-
ing comparison. Schmitz acted in an
awful crisis so perfectly that every
enemy and every critic says his record
in the fortnight after the shock and
the fire was the splendid episode of his
career. He might have. resented Cen
Funston'S act in throwing. armed
United States troops into the city
without waiting to be asked for them
but the mayor simply cried bravo. He
appointed his worst political foe the
| head of the committee of safety, and in
all ways did the dcspised Schmtz act
| with energy, tirelessness and tact
throughout the tremendous emergency.
He wrote no insulting letters to high
officials which later on he had to exc
plain as "attempted popularity" He
"made Good"-just that and nothing
more.
Says the Republican in concluding Its
comparison: 1.-THE difference between
| two such men as Swettenham and
| Schmitz in q time Of unspeakable
calamity cannot be satisfactorily ex-
planned by any accepted theory of pub
| lie service or government. Since his
heroic days the San Francisco mayor
| seems to have sunk into the mire
