THE PANAMA CANAL.

As President Roosevelt has approved
the recommendation Of the Panama ca
nal commission that the locks shall be
made of width of no feet instead of
100 feet, although the plan for enlarge
nlent involves an additional expendi-
ture of at least $1,000. 900, it is expect
ed that congress will take the same
view. as it was recently expressed by
Col. Goethals. engineer and chairman
of the commission, that while 100 feet
give room enough for the widest war or
merchant ship of today, 40 feet width
is required to accommodate some Of the
warships and merchant ships of the
near future.
Some day, when the lock canal is
widened and turned into a sea level
waterway, people will wonder at the
controversy there has been over this
simple question. But now, as the lock
formation is the one on which the
work is to proceed, they will be pleased
to find it settled in favor of the larger
locks as soon as possible because we
may easily have ships that will re-
quire the larger ones long before they
can pass through the canal.
1t takes less than three years from
the laying of the keel to put war
ship armed "cap a pied" on the ocean,
and the prospect now is that the
canal will not be ready for the recep-
ton of any vessel inside of six years
from next July, as Mr.. Taft, the sec
rotary of war, told the senate COM
mittee in charge of the subject the
other day. Meantime, he suggests, the
government ought to provide steam
ships of it's own to supply the needed
transportation facilities between the
Pacific end of the Panama railroad and
ports on the western coast, as private
enterprise does not, and the railroad
business has fallen off in consequence.
Col. Cocktails statement to the SEN
ate committee modified to some ex-
tent that made by Mr.. Taft: for, he
said that the canal would be completed
by July 1, 1914, and at a cost not in
excess of $3.50, 100000. He said further
that he did not believe that any con-
tractor or firm of contractors could
do the work as cheaply or as quickly
as the government can; and with that,
all experience is in strict accord.
If the political and business adven-
turers are kept out in the future, the
project may be expected to go forward
to completion as cheaply and as quick

LICENSING IT'S FARMERS.

Tobacco growers I'M other states
may be expected to rejoice heartily If
the legislature of Kentucky favors a
peculiar bill which is now before it.
The title Of this bill is not given in
the dispatches telling about 1t, but it
might well be called "a bill for out
raging the farmer"
It's terms make it unlawful for
anyone to engage in the culture of
tobacco in the state without obtain
ing a license from the county court Of
the district in which he lives and fix
ing a fee of $50 for each acre which
the farmer proposes to plant. Before
he receives the license the planter
must pay the fee and make an Aft
davit as to the number of acres he in
tends to plant in tobacco. The act
concludes with penalties named for
the infringement Of the law, providing
for fines as high as a thousand dol
lars and imprisonn ent for as long as
ninety days. What the state Of ex-
citement in Kentucky is may be
Judged by the fact that the state SEN
ate has approved the measure with
out so much as referring 1t to any
committee for a pairing down, and
that the house has only to pass it for
the tyrannical bill to become an en-
actment. It is beyond the bounds of
reason to suppose. however, that it
could exist in practice longer than for
some test case to come before the
judiciary.
The Kentucky tobacco planters
have not been the objects of such
sympathy as they evidently feel as
sured Of Farmers are farmers, the
world over, and the American species
is no whit behind the English, from
one with single potato patch to the

goes to the. center of the earth. He
enjoys perfect liberty to plant tur-
nips or corn, grass or tobacco. or to
let it lie perfectly fallow. Upon that
plain, everyday belief a certain num-

There are Dominican exiles who would
like to return and start a revolution.
There are Donlinicans at home who
think they are better qualified to
administer the government than those
who are doing SO and who in the old
days would not have remained quiet
long. The exiles do not venture to re-
turn and the ambitious Dominicans
who are out of office do not get UP re-
bellions.
The reason Is that the United States
is exerting a pacific influence in Santo
Domingo, but not in Hayti. 1t is

Gently summarized and commented
upon a decision of the supreme court
of the state in a matter involving the
status of a fraternal insurance COM

real effect of the decision and erron-
eously defined the effect which it would
have upon the insurance policies of the
fraternal order in question.
Thereupon the supreme court cited
the publishers of the Journal to appear
and show cause why they should not
be punished for contempt of court.
They appeared and defended with the
plea that the erroneous summary had
been made through a misunderstanding
and without the slightest intention to
reflect upon the court or to obstruct the
due administration Of the laws Never
