LET BURTON
NAME THE
NIGGER R.

"The manifestations of popular
disapproval and advice of his poll
tical friends not to do so has
changed the Presidents mind in
the matter of appointing negro
to high position in Hamilton
county. Cincinnati, besides be-
ing the home of Senator Foraker,
whom the president wanted to
embarrass, is also very nearly "a
southern town. Another import
ant consideration is that it is also
the home of Representative Nicho-
las Longworth, the president s
son-In-law. Such u row as the APP
pOintment of the negro Taylor
would have stirred up there would
have been gravely injurious to
Mr.. Longworth's political fortu-
mes. LongwGrth has managed to
keep out of the Brownsville and
race discussion so far, and it is
probable he had some thing to do
with the presidents change of
heart in the Cincinnati incident.
The outcome will probably be the
appointment of colOred man to
some office in the northern part of
the state. Mr.. Burton, who is
now chairman of the house COM
mittee on rivers and harbors, lives
at Cleveland. He will likely be
permitted to dictate such an APP
pointment where it will help him
most in his aspirations to be sena-
tor. 1t is an open secret that he
is preparing to run against Sena-
tor Dick when the latter's term
expires four years from now. Mr.,
Burton is a very able man and is
one of the acknowledged powers
in Ohio politics. Dick and Fora
ker are working in harmony, but
Burton will have the assistance of
all the friends of the president
and Secretary Taft"

STEVENS QUITS AS ENGINEER
OF THE PANAMA CANAL.
Stung by Criticism Aimed at His Work.
Commission to be ReOrganized.

Washington, Feb %. 49, President
Roosevelt, by an order issued to the
Panama canal commission, has trans,
ferred to the engineer branch of the
United States army the responsibility
for the further construction of the
Panama canal He also, in the same
order. which took the form Of letter
addressed to- the chairman of the com.
mission, Mr.. Shonts, himself about to
retire from all connection with the
enterprise, formally recorded the
abandonment, for the present at least,
of the project of having the canal
work done by contract on the per
centage system, Another feature Of
the order was the announcement of
the resignation of John r. Stevens as
engineer in charge of the canal con
struction.
In his letter to the chairman of the
canal committee instructing that body
to reject the bids for the construction
of the canal, the president states that
t&e purpose of the contract was to Sc
cure in the building of the canal the
services of the best, most experienced
and most skilful contractors in the
country at the least risk to them and
at the least expense to the govern
ment. This purpose failed he stated,
as the contractors, whose personal
services in the work are what the
commissioners sought, had made ar
rangements to divide the profits under
the percentage bid with bankers and
others to whom the contractors have
had to look for needed capital.
The intention of the president is
that there shall Se an entire reorgan-
ization of the commission, with three
army officers of the engineer corps, its
leading members, who are to have
charge of the engineering features of
the canal work. The chairman and

the auspices of Logan Council No.

celebrated. When this new house
is ready, hotel service equal to
