Philippe Bunau-Narilla, former Pan
anna minister to the United States and
once an engineer engaged on the Pan
anna canal, takes a gloomy view on
corning The prospects of the canal. He
says the cost will he $3.50, 900. 900, double
the estimate made by thcUnitcd States.
1T is to render a service to the
United States to affirm that the plan
that is now being carried ont will re-
suit almost surely III the greatest dis
aster in the history of public under
takings" he says. THE existence of
the canal depends upon the Gatun
dam. and all the French engineers
who studied the question are, absolutely
convinced that the nature of the ground
makes certain the destruction of the
dam that is being erected. The recent
accident ut the Gatun dam confirms
this view.
The American engineer attributes
the sinking Of the dam to heavy rains
acting on the blue clay sub-soil. What
would happen, if, instead of rain, there
came eighty-tive feet of water exercis-
ing Il pressure of two and onc-half
atmosphercs! Ii, was the same situa,
ton that caused the dam at La Boca t.
be abandoned asi impracticable. Tn,

E GETS REWARD

Mr.. d. J. Keefe, head of Il Longshorc'
mans union, and recently Il vice-prcsi'
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, has been appointed commissioner
of immigration by President Roosevelt.
We should like to cite Il few bits of
recent history bearing on this appoint
ment, says the Denver News.
After the platforms of the two parties
were adopted, the American Federation
decided TO support the democratic
national ticket. Mr.. Keefc was a
member of the council which reached
that decision, and he acquiesccd i'll it.
There was not a dissenting vote.
Later ON i'll the campaign Mr.. Kecfe
changed his attitude, and came out for
Taft.
The democratic campaign managers
made the clargo-that this change was
due to corrupt motives. They charged
that on Il certain day Mr.. Keefe visited
the White House, and was promised
the appointment rs commissioner of
Immigration if he would break away
from his fellows in the federation, vote
for Taft, and endcavor to divide the
labor vote.
Mr.. Roosevelt made his usual answer
to such charges. He issued Il statement
branding the charge AS II lie, and the
men who made il .ls liars.
Mr.. Keefe went on record rs saying
that during his White House visit pol
itics was not even mentioned. He also
continued to wor!; FOR Taft, and to
discrcdit Mr., Gompers and the fedora
ton ms much rs possible.
And now, after the campaign is over,
Mr.. Roosevelt gives Mr.. Kccfc the very
appointment which the democrats
charged he would give.
In view of these remarkable events,
The News has two questions to ask:
Question No. What is the moral
difference between buying a mans
political support with u federal office
and buying it with money! There is
a financial difference because when you
buy with money you pay the bills your
self, and when You buy with Office the
nation pays them, q But what is the
moral difference?
Question No. 2.-Who is the liar?
