8UILDFR OF THE
PANAMA CANAL,

w. J. oliver. of Knoxville. Tenn.
was the lowet bidder on the con
struetlon of the Panama Canal. and
the honor OF completing that work
will no doubt be conferred upon him.
Mr. oliver was the first to suggest
to the government that that great
waterway should be completed by prl-
yate contract. 10 is a suup.sHdous
undertaking, and the man who sue
cessfully accomplishes it will leave a
name for himself that will live as
long as there Is trace of his work
left. Ever since the canal was first
proposed it has been Mr.. divers am
bition TO contract It. In discussing
the subject he recently declared:
~ wantd it to 90 down in history
that w. j. oliver of Tennessee, dug
the canal.
Profits on the contract are not
my ambition. Loss of n million or
two would not cause me the least
worry. would have it so that in

THE RAILROAD
SOLUTIONS.

The rate bill did not settle the rail
road problem. There are three plans.
one now on trial. that of Mr. Roose-
Welt. who would regulate interstate
commerce and compel the railroads
to obey the law, which puts every
shipper and every passenger on an
equality.
Nr. Bryan says this plan is a fall
urc. that the government Is impotent
to regulate the roads. and, instead
the roads will regulate he govern
ment His plan is for the government
TO acquire the roads and operate
them. This IL pure socialism. and it
may come to that; and II It should,
the government would soon acquire
the coal mines. the oil wells. the
blast furnaces. the slaughter houses.
and all such utilities" and operate
them. too.
The third plan IS that OF T.. II.
Hartman. He would consolidate the
railroads under a single management,
destroy all competition. and make n
gigantic MONOPOLY
This Hartman plan-would be ideal
but for one thing. Man Is full of
human nature, and his natural dis
position is to gouge. If all the rail-
roads were under a single manage
mcnt, and the managers angels, the
railroad question would be settled
as long as the angels had charge.
There would be complete consollda-
ton. Every community would get
an equitable rate. The roads would
make good living without robbing

The Powder Trust.

From our Washington Correspondent
The Department of Justice announces
that it is about to institute proceedings
against the Powder Trust under the Sher-
man antitrust act. The only wonder is
that the prosecution has been delayed so
long. But the explanation probably lies in
the fact that Senator Dupont, the new
Senator from Delaware, is the head of the
| trust, and is powerful in politics, as his
election to the Senate proves. The recent
investigation Of the trust by the bureau of
corporations and the Department. Of Justice
indicate that it is one of the most complete
monopolies ever DEVISED in any country. 1t
has followed the methods of the Standard
Oil Company in beating down and breaking
after the other out of business and bought
them up when it was convenient after their
business had ceased to be profitable The
result is that although there are a lot of
nominally independent companies still OPP
Grating, they are all under the direct man
agement of the trust which controls about
So per cent. of the powder output, larger
proportion of the finished product than was
ever controlled by the Standard Oil.
Probably the thing that has moved the
government to proceed against the trust is
the increasing cost of powder for the army
and navy. There are bids formally opened
for powder supplies as formerly, but the
officers of both the army and navy know
that it is farce. The same company pre-
SCENTS all of the bids under different names,
and if there is any difference in the price it
is because the trust wants some particular
mill to do the work instead of some other.
Efforts to establish government powder fac
tories have been successfully fought in the
past, and if the country were to be plunged
into war next week, it would either have to
confscate the mills of the powder trust or
else pay whatever price the trust chose to
name for firing every gun in the army and
navy.

In Favor Of Spring Elections.

The South Orange special election, held
last Tuesday to determine whether the cleo
tion of village officers should be held sepa-
rately in the spring or remain consolidated
with the general election in the fall, result
ted in an overwhelming majority in favor of
spring elections. In consequence, the viii
lage will for the next five years elect it's
local officials in April. There were 38S
votes cast, of which 319 were for spring cleo
tions and sixty-nine were for the present
system.
This is the first opportunity the people Of
any municipality Or election district in this
State had to express their opinions, at the
polls of the Meeker act abolishing spring
elections. It has been argued by politicians
of both parties, that one election year was
all the voters wanted, and upon this argu-
ment the Meeker act was passed relating to
cities, and was subsequently extended to the
country districts The people were not asked
their opinions they were simply compelled
TO vote when the machine politicians said
they must
But the South Orange elections, held upon
this very issue, shows that the sentiment in
favor Of separate and independent elections
for local officers is very nearly FIVE times as
great as that for the consolidated partisan
elections now in order. The south Orange
vote is CONCLUSIVE proof Of what is the public
sentiment In the other parts Of the State,
and She plain duty Of the Legislature is to
repeal the consolidated election law at the
earliest practicable moment. Il is an out
rage on the people. Newark News.

Mr.. J. B. R. Smith, head of the State
automobile department., who has probably
given the subject of automobiles more con-

that within five years the automobile will
haYe ceased to be an instrument of pleas
ure. It will be abandoned by the ultra
fashionable, and become vehicle of utility.
Already the automobile manufacturers are
trimming their sails for the change, and are
experimenting with trucks, drays, etc.
The day will come when the very rich will
be protesting against the use of the business
automobile on the road. There is SO much
to be said in favor of the use of power
trucks and drays on crowded city streets.
They take much less room on the crowded
streets; they are clearly, and that is sub
ject of interest to the street cleaning de-
partment, and larger loads can be moved.
And the truck farmers, Mr.. Smith says,
will soon be conveying their produce to
market in power truck wagons, and the
long night drives behind weary horses and
the tired, sleepy drivers will be thing of
the past.
