The Eapers and discussions in the

NEXT PRESIDENT
MAY OPEN CANAL
BIG DITCH WILL PROBABLY BE
OPENED BY COMING ExECU-
TIVE.

! WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-That the
| Panama canal, one of the greatest en-
cheering projects of modern times,
will be dedicated by a president whose
| front name is William, now appears
probable. Reports received at the war
| department in the last few weeks show
constantly increasing speed and eftici-
ency in the construction of the big
ditch, and it is far from impossible that
I the canal will be so far finished four
years hence that vessels can use, ii.
officials meet fulfillment, the next pres
| ident will have the honor of dedicating
/ If the hopes Of the war departmec;
the canal. and his name will thus be-
come inseparably connected with the
gigantic project. Not in recent years
| has such fame been thrust upon a
chief executive of the nation, and in
/ the contest between Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Bryan thus assumes added significance
! In any advent, the canal question is
no longer in politics, and whether the
next administration is headed by Mr..
Bryan or Mr.. Taft. the work will be
pushed with all possible energy. I'm
der the army engineers, the work is
going forward regardless Of season or
weather Every report received from
Colonel GOethals brings a smile to the
| face of General Luke E. Wright, the
new head of the war department, 81
it bears news of added speed and diff
ficultieS conquered.
! The July report of excavation is a
most encouraging one. 1t establishes a
new record for the rainy season. The
grand total of earth removed was
3,16S,S40 cubic yards, all of which ex-
cept 122,SS4 cubic yards was taken
cubic yards more than the record for
June and 314.43O yards short of the
highest dry season record, that of
March, 1909. Compared with July, 1907.
1t shows an increase of 21O5,115 cubic
yards. This comparison with July of
last year shows what tremendous
| strides have been made in the matter
of removing dirt from the canal prism
| in the rainy season. Moreover the
rainfall of July, this year, was heavy
The average was lila inches, as COM
! Jared with 10 inches in June, the pre-
ceding month, and 1913 inches in July
1907. 1t would be a strange thing. in
the light of the calculations that have
been made as to the time required for
the completion of the canal. if the adj
ministration following that of Mr.
Roosevelt should see the canal suffi-
GENTLY finished for traffic Yet, it Is not
impossible that this will be the, case. as
the most sober minded of the canal
officials are coming to view it.

1t is reported, by the Acting Assistant
Commissioner of Agriculture, that fifty or
more immigrants call at his Office in Park
Row, New York, every day, begging for
farm work They represent almost all the
foreign countries; including Egypt, and as
they are without money the farmers may
get their services at very reasonable rates.
At the last meeting of the State Board Of
Agriculture the subject Of farm help came
up, even as it has for the past fifteen or
twenty years, and Secretary Dye reported
having entered into an arrangements with
Chairman Powderly, of the department. of
Labor, in the the hope of obtaining farm
help If this doesn't turn out any better
than the arrangements made several years
ago with an immigration agency in New
York it is not likely to amount to much.
The hard times may send few of the un-
employed to work on the farms, but they
will be apt TO leave as soon as general pros
perity returns.

Coal Men to Cut Wages.
At meeting of the leading soft coal
operators of the Pittsburg district held
on Jan. 90 it was decided that the
miners must accept reduction of 10
cents a ton A committee of the OPP
orators left for the convention of min
ers being held in indianapolis to pro-
pose this reduction. In case of its rejec-
ton it is expected that every mine in
the Pittsburg district. which produces
55000.000 tons of coal annually. will
be closed Immediately. The price now
paid the miners is 80 cents per ton.
the highest price ever paid, The op
orators declare that the decreased de-
mand and the lowering of the price of
coal necessitate the cut in wages.

make ALI Banks Safe. "
[From Bryan's oommonerl !.

Mr.. James B. Forgan, the prominent
Chicago banker, has unintentionally given
the advocates of the guaranteed bank slo-
gan which they will be quick to utilize
He says that he is opposed to the guarantee
of bank deposits because 1T would make
all banks safe, one just as good as another
and for that reason man would go to any
bank with his money" He claims that it
would reduce all bankers to the same level
and there would be absolutely no reason
why anyone should not drop into the first
bank he came to to deposit his money.
Why should not all banks be safe? Is is
more important that the big banks should
have an advantage over the little ones than
that the depositors and she business COM
munity should be protected from the bank
failures? Ii is difficult to conceive of
more selfish argument than that which Mr.
Forgan presents, and no one can be expected
to endorse his argument without putting
the interest of the big banker above the
welfare Of the community and the country
at large. The time is little inoppertune
for Mr.. Forgan to speak SO lightly Of the
depositor Ii is only little while ago that
the big banks as well as the smaller ones
had to suspend payment on checks, and the
Chicago banks even were issuing cashiers
checks. Why not look at the question
from the standpoint of the deposition for
awhile and give him q voice in the deter
mination Of our banking policy. Mr.. For
gan says that the stockholders who supply
the capital are liable for double the amount
of the capital subscribed and that "they
haye been accustomed to get for supplying
this guaranty to depositors all the profits
that can be made in the business. " Some
times, however, the hundred per cent liabil-
ity is not sufficient to protect depostors,
and after the stockholders have secured Fall
the profits that can be made in the business"
they leave the depositors to bold the bag,
but the end of this one.sided bank policy is
near at hand. The bankers did more than
they expected to do when they stopped
payment on checks-they taught depositors
she need Of better guarantees, and now the
depositors in the various states and in the
nation are insisting that banks shall be made
SO good that man will not haye to spend
his time watching the officials or lose sleep
for fear his deposit may disappear.
Make all banks safe, . is q good campaign
cry, and ii will prove an effective one if the
republican leaders prefer TO follow the ad-
Use Of the big banks and ignore the interests
Of depositors.
