PANAMA CANAL SCANDAL.

President Roosevelt in letter to
Congress denounces in strong terms tile
stories recently published concerning
the Panama Canal purchase, for the
purpose of creating the impression that
there was some scandal connected with
the transaction. But although the
terms are vigorous. they are not
too strong. when the infamy of an
attempt to drag the United States gov
eminent down into the mire Of scandal
is considered.
The United states government offered
s4006o,00o for the property and fran
chises OF the French company. or this
amount s25,0o0,000 was paid to the old
Panama Canal company, $12,0Ooo0O to
the new French company and s3,0Oo,oCo
held awaiting final disposition, the
method of which was in litigation in
French courts, J. Pierpont Morgan e
Co., acting as fiscal agents Of the
French government and the French
Panama company. Every document
connected with the enterprise, from it's
inception to the present day, is, we un-
derstand, on file In Washington, open
to the inspection of any American clti-
zen.
6 1t is the right of the press to criticise
public officials in the performance of
of false rumors, the effect of which
must be to place The government in a
false light before the world, and to do
that for political, partisan purposes, il
not legitimate criticism. 1t cannot be
defended on any ground whatever. The
Panama purchase and the subsequent
surrounding of difficulties Of construc-
tlon or which the public can have but
an inadequate conception, are achieve
ments of which all Americans ought to
be proud.

OUR FORESTS.
New York Evening Post.

A farmer might say that the national
conservation commission has not help
ed its cause by showing one-quarter of
the whole country to be still timbered.
One acre of trees to three Of clearing
does not seem to be dangerous ratio.
Senator Shoots report, though, could
have made clear that one of the most
serious features in the present situation
is the unequal distribution Of our for
ests. Waste there is terrible fires there
are, and also much too little planting;
but II the trees still surviving We're
Ideally located, worry might be de-
ferred for many years. What we find,
however. is a few great clusters in
mountains and remote districts, and
everywhere else barren stretches, or at
best occasional tiny woodland patches.
The evils traceable to this arrange
ment are perhaps the very strongest
arguments In favor of Immediate. thor
ough forest regulation by states and
federal government. Lurnbcrmen may
repent and learn to care properly for
their own acreage: but as individuals,
they cannot make trees grow where
the rivers and the soil most need Them

CONVICTION OF RUFF.
San Francisco Bulletin.

4. Il i
The convection of Ruef, although an
important victory for justice, is not the
ultimate victory. The purpose of the
prosecution is not solely or mainly to
put individuals into prison. Prosecut-
Ing Is only incidental to the real work
of the good citizens who are working
for Justice in this city. Ultimate vic
tory in this cause will come not when
theN last malefactor shall be clothed in
stripes, but when the last citizen shall
have released his mind from the strait
Jacket Of class feeling and special inter-
est and learned to prefer the public
good to the good of any individual or
group. Ultimate victory Will come not
until the individual citizens shall have
perceived clearly the relation of such
crimes rs the bribing of public officers
and jurors to the health Of the re-
public and shall have grasped the vital
truth that crimes which make public
officers servants of q special interest
and crimes which tend to destroy ac-
tual equality before the law are trea-
son in its most horrid and destructive
form.

Home Is the natural environment of

the woman who has to go out from her
home to toll for the support of the
little ones in the home nest, Is any the
less a woman, and a good and true,

her palace provided with every luxury,
scarcely realizing nor really caring
whence the provisions come. So in-
stead of the new woman we have, let
US say, the true Woman-a woman that
when adversely comes, bravely takes
up her share of the burden in support
of those she loves and is responsible for
their being, and with smile on her
face can rejoice in the God-given
strength by which she Is so richly
