Iernment appropriations, 5000, ,0OO,-
600 is called for by the large under
takings in charge of civil engineers.
Two-thirds of this amount has been
allotted TO the Improvement OF trans.
portation terminals, including the
river tunnels to reach them. The
Icity is building three bridges over
East river at cost of from s15.-
100000 to S20.0OO,0OO each. SIX
teen tunnels are in progress under
the broad waterways that surround
New York. comprising six tubes un-,
der the Hudson, eight under East
river and two under the Harlem.
Twelve more tunnels are actively
projected, and the day is near when
Manhattan will be reached on all
sides by unbroken land routes. In
engineering the work at New York Is
Tar more difficult. as well as more
costly. than any in sight at Panama
.or in the reclamation service.
Recent visitors to Panama come
back impressed with the idea that
the canal is a simpler problem than
has been supposed. and that Il will
be completed within the next decade.
Some doubts remain as To the de-
tails of the largest dam and the locks
connected with lt, but the main labor
ahead Is that of moving masses OF
earth and disposing OF them. Prob
ably the French would have had the
canal in operation by this time IL
their funds had been sufficient and
rightly managed. In order to get
cash the French had TO go to the
stock market, and financial trouble
would have overtaken them at Pana-
ma even II free from speculation.
But the United States pays cash
readily for everything II needs at
the isthmus. It can borrow at per
cent II its present immense treasury
balance is depleted. Should the cost
of the canal exceed the estimate,
which is not unlikely. the flow OF
money will continue unchecked. The
people of the United States have
long wanted the link between the
two oceans, and willing to meet It's
cost on an honest, worklngmanlike
basis.
Not much less than billion dol
lars Is called for by the vast Amerl-
can engineering projects now in

must be added the sS5 200. 900 re-

MISSISSIPPI CULLINGS

1t has been suggested by some of
the state papers that the Farmers
Union along its well known educa-
tional lines take up the matter of to-
baeco growing and make test of the
section commonly known as the
"piney woods" to ascertain deAn-
itely whether good tobacco can be
grown there or not. The idea is un-
doubtedly good one and worthy Of
consideration. During the past few
years tobacco has been grown on a
small scale successfully in num-
Der Of the counties Of south MissiS-
sippi and it is very likely that the
industry with proper handling could
be made one Of Importance. Judge
w H. Hardy has contended for some
time that the very best of tobacco
could be grown there, raising it him
sef and having a considerable qua1-
tity made into cigars for test. Il
a tobacco that would command fair
price on the market could be raised
there is little doubt but what inter
ested growers could be found to pur
the scheme into practical operation.
Mississippi will raise successfully al
most anything that grows in other
countries, and why not tobacco.

Dental nomination. In his character
istic, snappy way he combatted what
the secretary said at Columbus Mon
day night and then he projected addi-
tional queries to further complicate
the situation. Among other things he
asserted the following:
Secretary Taft does not always
know all the facts and does not al
ways deem it essential to state all
the facts.
He makes no answer to the sugges-
ton that Legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutive powers are given the Inter
state Commerce Commission in viola
ton of the constitution.
Railroads gain millions by the pas
sage of the rate bill in adjustment of
passes and prohibition of rebates.

once without regard to political ex-
pediency.
