What the Panama Report Shows.


The fourth annual report of the
Panama canal commission apparent
iy confirms previous estimates as to
the time required to construct a
lock canal, contradicts the earlier
predictions as to the total cost, and
leaves us at the threshold of one of
the most difficult parts of the enter
prise-the construction of the dam
and locks at Gatum.
Engineers agree that the exca-
walton of the great Culebra section
furnishes the measure of time neces-
sary to finish the undertaking Just
as the speed of the slowest ship is
the speed of the feet, so the portion
of work requiring the longest
time for completion fixes the date
for the end of the whole enterprise
The report shows that for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1908
1 12,O64,13S cubic yards of earth were
removed from Culebera. AS the min
GRITTY of the board of consulting en-
gineers, whose report was adopted
by the government, put the tota
number of yards to be removed a
53,765.000. it is evident that fou
i more years, at the present rate. will
suffice to finish the Culehra cut.

was that no member asked to in

The house unanimously and with
out debate adopted the resolution
providing for the appointment of a
committee of five to consider the
reference to secret service in the

what action should be taken in the
matter.
The fight for the revision Of the
rules OF the house Of representatives
was inaugurated tonight at a meet
ing of the so-called insurgents at
| tended by twenty-five republican
representatives. Hepburn, of Iowa,
presided and was authorized to
name a committee OF five, with him
self as chairman, to draft proposed
amendments to the rules and report
to the organization Tuesday. To-
night the insurgents considered four
suggestions for more than two hours
and the general feeling was that if
the house must have a despotic lead
err there is no one they would rather
have than Uncle joe" Several
new suggestions, in addition to
those already advanced, were made
at the meeting. To increase the
membership of the rules committee
in the house has been the most pop
ular suggestion and in this connec-
ton 1T is proposed to have this COM
mittee elected by the members of
the house instead of being named by
the speaker. The election in like
manner of committees to perform
duties similar to this body in the
senate has also been proposed by
the leaders in the movement. None

it was intended to bring the matter
to an issue in the present session of

Roosevelt, TAFT and Their Party.

(ReView OF ReviewS)
1t Is an open fact. of course, that
the Roosevelt policies have had their
strong republican opponents, and that
these have been powerful in the coun-
ellis of the ruling coteries OF both
houses OF congress. AS the prelimin-
airy work Of finding a candidate pro-
ceeded at the Chicago convention, the
distinction between the "progresslves"
led by the Roosevelt administration,
and the so-called "reactionaries" be-
came more sharply accentuated But
1t was also clear that the Roosevelt
element of the party represented the
vast majority of the republican voters.
Mr.. Taft's strength as candidate was
due above all else to the knowledge
that Mr.. Roosevelt was advocating his
selection, and to the further knowl-
edge that. as a great member OF the
Roosevelt administration, Mr.. Taft was
thoroughly known both as to his views
and also as to his remarkable quail
fications for the presidency. Thus the
real platform of the republican party
in this campaign IS Mr.. Taft himself
as endorsed and guaranteed by Mr..
Roosevelt. Mr.. Bryan and his support
ers will doubtless show great deftness
and skill in criticising the resolutions
as adopted at Chicago. and will point
out what can be made to appear as
serious inconsistencies. But when all
this Is done there Will remain the great
fact that Mr.. Taft was easily NOM
mated on the first ballot, securing 702
votes in a convention numbering $50
delegates. Furthermore, this nomina-
ton was acquiesced In by the re-
naming members OF the convention
nearly all Of whom would gladly have
voted for Mr.. Taft on the first ballot
If they had not been bound by in
structions to cast their votes for the
so-called "favorite sons" of their own
states. Thus many of the New York
delegates who voted for Hughes OPP
emily stated that they desired to vote
was heartily in sympathy with the
nomination. Almost the same thing
might be said OF the Pennsylvania
vote, which was cast for Senator
Knox: the Illinois vote, which, by way
of compliment, was announced for
Speaker Cannon. and the Indiana vote.
which was accorded to Vice President
Fairbanks. Even the Wisconsin vote.
which was for Senator LaFollette, was
cast by men who were warmly cordial
to Mr.. Taft. In short the differences
between the so-called ''reactionaries"
and the main body Of the convention
did not cut deep enough to create any
bitterness against the winning candi-
date. Mr.. Taft Is as completely and
heartily the accepted candidate Of his
party as any man could possibly be.
Seldom il ever has any American party
had finer candidate. or one upon
whose choice it had better reason for
decentralization.

It was his first Sunday school, and
he sat in the infants department Gag
ery watching the superintendent illus
trate the lesson on the board. The SUI
perintendent drew the path to heaven
-one straight line-and started the
figure of a man on it. Gradually the
man became larger and larger, and
finally when he arrived at the gate of
heaven he could not get in.
The superintendent turned to his
small audience and, in a tragical and
sorrowful tone, said:
"You see he is so pulled up with sin
that he can not enter in"
"Try him sideways, mister, try him
sideways" came the small, shrill voice
from the infants department.
