STEVENS 0BDURATE
WANTS ALL CREDIT FOR CANAL
 CONSTRUCTIONS.
Chief Engineer Threatens to Resign Un- less Bid of oliver and All Other Contractors are Turned
 Down.

Washington. Feb1 7.-The aominls- tration has been brought face to face with the alternative of rejecting all bids for the construction of the Pan amo Canal by contract or losing the services of Chief Engineer John F. Ste- vens.
 This is the reason for he delay nf President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonts of the Canal Com mission in acting on the Oliver bid. An effort has been made to get MT. ste- vUns to change his mind. bu he fas continued cbdurate ani tine indications are that the administration will &C., cede to his request and the construc- lion will be continued bv the Govern ment.
 This information in regari to the position taken Gy Mir. Stevens comes fro . sc''rne that cannot he doubted. but 1t has created some surprise on account of the testimony given by Mir. stevens before the Senate Committee on Interocean!c Canals year ago. He said he favored building the canal by contract He was of the opinion that contractors would be in a better po- sition to deal with the question of la borers. Since then he has gone over the canal plans carefully and now he expresses the belief that the canal can be constructed by the Government within a period of ten years. His friends have advised him that if con- tract is let for construction he will be robbed of the credit of building this great waterway.
 The recent exchanges Of eablegrams between Washington and he isthmus have resulted in a demand by Mir. ste- vens for the acceptance of his resig- nation if the contract Is awarded. It Is asserted by certain Senators who have taken an unusual interest in all matters relating to the canal | that if one of the bids for canal con- struction Is accepted 1t will mean the | administration has determined to dis nsnse with MT. Stevens as the direc- | tor of the canal construction.

ated, but it does not follow that this is

ated, but it does not follow that this is
to be permanent
''The first few months of 1908 will be
given to repair. Every business man and
every institution will proceed in new
ventures with caution, but the structure
of material wealth will be reared solidly,
and the mistakes of 1907 will be rectified
In so far as it is possible to do SO. Still.
we must remember that demand exists
for the products which the country
makes; men possessing the intelligence,
the forethough and initiative which have
inspired the great works of modern in
dustry have not lost their faculties of
leadership. and from ocean to ocean are
only waiting the clearing of the finan-
cial sky to resume their activity. Tho
real enerly to progress is the man who
refuses to believe in the future-who II
occupying place in the march to better
things, stands still and obstructs the path
that others are attempting to follow
This applies to institutions as to indyid-
uals. The honest man and the honest
corporation are entitled to credit now as
much as before, providing of course the
credit can be obtained; and there is moth
ing to show that the credit capacity of
the country Is in the least overstrained.
On the contrary there has been a period
Ct stringent liquidation, which has left
many of our institutions in better shape
as to cash reserves than for months past
On these, particularly. depend what the
year 1908 is to be. If they recognize their
responsibility, if they follow carefully
with needed assistance those who are
endeavoring to advance the progress CT
the nation, the history of twelve months
to come car be written with a certain
hand. If on the contrary they refuse to
do this, If they conclude that the policy
to be followed is one of inaction and
doubt, then tho good work of the past
and the projected work of the future will
be rendered useless, and in large meas
ure lost. In word the state of prosper
ity during 1908 is to be just about what
the banks of the United States make
it, and if they will recognize this fact.
as they doubtless do, we ought to have
10 fear for the year now nearing birth"
