In the Right Hands.

The building of the canal is now to
be intrusted to the engineer corps of
the army, and many Americans will be
surprised that this decision was de-
layed until today. On the army rolls
are probably as skillful engineers as
are to be found in the world They
have superintendent the building of
canals, the deepening and widening of
rivers and have had a hand in work
which called for as much ability as
any which has been displayed by the
civilians who have been posing as
heads of constructive forces at the
Isthmus. The army officers have per-
formed the tasks allotted to them with
out putting themselves before the
cameras and without making any
boasts Of the sacrifices which they
were making for the good of the coun-
try Many of these military engineers
have been engaged in vast enterprises
under the government, but they have
performed their duties quietly as part
of their work Their compensation
is small compared with that which
some civilians of less ability have been
getting from the government at the
Isthmus, but they have not complained
and they have not been looking for
larger salaries elsewhere. The coun-
try is to be congratulated on the fact
that the government has gotten hold
of men who will push work al Panama
without boasting about their exploits
and who will probably stick to the
work until it is finished.-St. Louis

PEACE SPELLS PROGRESS.

As the Calumet region is to be a
great industrial center it is of primary
Importance that the relations between
capital and labor should be as friendly
as possible.
No one doubts that before another
decade has passed, all of the territory
between the Indiana-I Illinois state line
and the eastern limits of Gary will be
solid1y built up with the homes of
thousands of working men, which will
surround the hundreds of mills to be
built by capitals millions.
OF course, this can mean but one
thing; namely, the unprecedented pros
perity of this whole region, a pros
perity that will be shared by labor as
well as capital. But 1t must be re-
membered that the rapidity Of this prog
rcss will depend entirely upon the de-
gree of harmony that exists between
the man in the overalls" and the fiat
man with the bank roll"
1t will be remembered that only a
year or two ago building operations In
Chicago were brought to a standstill
because of the differences between the
builders and the men who were putting
up the money and the progress that
Chicago was making was greatly re-
tarded until the matter was finally set
tied. New skeletons of iron and steel
are rising all over the city and millions
of dollars worth OF taxable property
are being added to the lists.
There is no reason why capital and
labor in the Calumet region need lock
horns at this critical period and delay
the building of great city until the
differences are finally adjudicated The
trouble should be settled in the begin
ming and concessions on both sides
should be made
Should this community become the
seat of bitter war between capital and
labor. it would mean a loss of thou
sands of dollars to capital and other
thousands to labor and an irreparable
loss to the community as a whole. The
name and fame of the Calumet region
would lose it's charm and 1t would take
years to recover from the setback. i
would certainly be much better fol
those who employ to live up to theil
contracts and those who are employed
TO be moderate in their demands.
The establishing of board to arbi.
trate labor difficulties that may arts,
in the Calumet region might be the
salvation of tho whole community.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, March 6.-WHEAT-Early
prices were lower based upon an I'M
expected decline in the Liverpool mar
ket on the decline, however, an ex-
cellent support was detected by bulls
on wheat who believe prices nave scor-
ed decline enough for the present Bad
crop reports from sections or Indiana
and Ohio were ignored as 1t IS argued
it is too early in the season to deter
mine the extent Of the damage to the
growing crop. A large amount of cash
wheat was reported sold to one Of the
southwestern mills. The market clos

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, March 6.-The same ner-
vous and errastic tone which was dis
played in the stock market all during
the session yesterday was continued
again this morning. Prices swayed
back and forth within wide range
There was no new developments in the
general situation over night.
Several OF the morning newspapers
contained startling articles as TO the
causes of the general disturbance in
the stock market, but none of them
seemed TO carry much weight. Pro-
fessional traders and the larger influ-
entail traders came to the support of
the market today after the early weak
ness. They lifted prices up just as
rapidly as they were hammered down
yesterday.
St Paul regained about three points
from its price, Union Pacific about 4;
Atchison 3; Southern Pacific 8 II; Cop
per about three and in fact every ac-
tive stock on the list shows gains at
the close tonight ranging from two to
four points.
Of all the sensational advances,
Reading was certainly wonder. That
there was a large short interest in this
stock was we'll known; bear traders
have been hammering it for the past
week on the adverse news in circula-
ton. This is just what the Prick
crowd desired. Today they took hold
of the market and made the shorts pay
dearly for their venturesome spirit.
Reading was boosted from around ia
up to 125, rise of over ten points for
the day. Talk of a corner in the stock
was heard in many quarter, but this is
believed to be exaggeration, although
brokerage houses have advised their
clients to be very careful In trading in
! this issue.
The market closed as feverish as 1t
opened with advances well sustained
| throughout the list
The total sales for the day were the
| largest in many months.

Mr.. Crumpacker's Success.

Representative Crumpacker certain
~ has been successful IN looking after
the interests of Tippecanoe county. In
securing an appropriation for the i'm
provement of the postoftice building he
accomplished what was thought to be
an impossibility. At that time the
whole nation was demanding federal
buildings and improvements and the
business men OF the city were told that
there was little prospect of getting i'm
mediate recognition of their needs. But
Mr.. Crumpacker presented the needs in
such a way that he got the money. The
Tenth district representative scored an
other success during the closing hours
OF the session that adjourned Monday
By securing an appropriation Of $12,500
as a federal contribution to a monu-
ment at Battle Ground. The appropria-
ton was stricken out at one time but
Mr.. Crumpacker had it reinserted. The
late session did big things and there
was a disposition to cut out all the
small appropriations. But one conclu-
sion is to be drawn and that is that

influence in congress-he is proving the
wisdom Of retaining a good man there
when one is found. In getting both
these benefits to Tippecanoe county, Mr..
Crumpacker has been ably assisted by
Indiana's senators-Messrs Beveridge

and this is hardly any salvation for
prices under existing circumstances.

seen, although the market will rally,
which is natural after the enormous
break which we have had
We advise caution, and people who
expect to trade must to so with good
margins.
All stocks shared in the loss, al
though some held very strong. but 1t
was very evident that heavy liquida-
ton was taking place in Sloss- Shelf
field, c. f. /. Republican Steel, etc,

thrown on the market, indicating heavy
liquidation.

decline, with the chances favoring a
rally which might become substantial

causes.
