Each newcomer is to be required to register within seven days of his ar rival and on leaving the district he must report his departure. The penalty for violation of the regulations is forfeit ure of consular protection.

Constitution Makes a Diuision of Golden
 States Unlikely

WASHINGTON, October l. Dis patches recall the fact that the present agitation for a division of the state is not the first that has occurred in California. It was, in fact, subject of discussion in the constitutional con vention Of the territory, when the question of northern dominance of the southern part of the state was fully and warmly discussed. One of the speakers, in the course of his remarks, went so far as to take it for granted that congress would not give the new state the territory it sought to embrace within its borders. eff it was expected that it would remain one state" The past history of the country" he said, "develops the fact that we shall have state upon state here. When the popu lation comes, they will require that this state shall be divided" " The question of division was preached during the taxation controversies of the forties and ffties and it arose once more just UtloTt lut OutDiSdh VI Nht NiNii wal
 The United States constitution deelar, es that no state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state, and that no state shall be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned and of congress. It is obvious that California as whole would not give it's consent to such division; it is equally obvious that the reasons advanced for separation would not move congress to agree to it even if the southern half of the state should outvote the northern on he proposition.
 California may well be left. to ad. just the present difficulty in their own time and their own way. There has been discomfort in other states from time to time arising out of similar causes. The feeling out of which they grew has long ceased to exist.
 Whatever inequality or injustice there may be in the taxation methods now in vogue in California will be cor rected--must be corrected, for inequali- ty or injustice cannot long exist in an American state-and the agitation for division will subside The country is proud of California, and would not have it any different.

RAPID PROGRESS IN THE GUILE
BRA CUT.

One Of the most encouraging signs OF
progress in the excavation and con-
struction of the Panama canal Is seen
in the rapidity with which work is go
ing ahead in the Culebra Cut. That
part of the canal route is rightly re-
garded as the backbone of the task
which lies before the men who have the
job of making the great waterway.
When it is once finished it viii be but
short distance to the completion of
the canal, unless the Catun dam offers
unexpected obstacles.
The excavation in Culebra Cut in Oc-
tober was greater than for any previous
month in the rainy season. and second
only to that of the highest monthly
record, which was made in March, 1909.
The October excavation was 10000
cubic yards. In March, 1909, the eXca-
walton was l,5lI ,397 cJoic yards. This
record for October was made in spite
OF rainfall that in some parts of the
canal region was twenty-one inches in
the month.
Already there have been eXcayated
from the CuIebra Cut 39,3O9l97 cubic
yards. and there remain to be removed
SS.733,O9S cubic yards. At the rate of
progress now being made, this amount
will dwindle rapidly. Two years more
will see the Culebra Cut excavation
nearly completed, Il is clear from the
record made in the CuIebra Cut in Oc-
tober in the midst of great difficulties
of weather that the efficiency of the
canal force Is increasing and its Ca
paeity for work is growing. This is
likely to offset any tendency for the
excavation to become more difficult as
the bottom of Culebra Cut is reached.
While it will not do to calculate that
the canal viii be finished when the
Culebra Cut Is excavated. the compile
ton of the gigantic task of forcing
way through that mass of earth and
rock will go far in the public mind 20
remove any last lingering doubts as to
the feasibility of the canal project.

SECRETARY MEYERS SHAKE
UP OF THE NAVY.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer after
months of study and consultation mas
;nauo,rated sweeping reforms IN the
Navv Department. Not since the bureau
srstem was established. back IN Io4Z,
has there been such q shaking up Inc
bureau system, which has been the
puso of no end Of navy abuses, and
which has cost the country many need
loss millions of dollars, has been given
-;olt such al has never before been ad-
ministered to it.
Hitherto most of the reform of the
Navy Department has ended in talk 1t
has contemplated a great deal OF legis-
lation by Congress. The result has
been that the naval bureaucracy, with
ali the influences it can command, eN-
erted pressure on the naval affairs
committees of House and Senate, and
in the end reform went glimmering. PHI
able and incompetent heads of these
committees did the viii of the naval
bureaucracy element, and the cost Of
the navy went on multiplying at an
astounding rate, with results not com
mensurate with the expenditure.
1t is too early to tell whether the
changes instituted by Secretary Meyer
will in all respects meet expectations,
but they are undoubtedly in the right
direction. One of the best features OF
the Meyer reforms is that they viii for
the most part 90 into effect without

INTEREST IN THE BRITISH
CAMPAIGN.

It is a strange and suggestive sign of
the times. that while very little in
terest is taken popularity in the probable
doings OF the coming session of Con-
gress, there Is more intense concern
about the approaching political cam
paign and general election in England
than has ever been known in the
United States.
British politics and British political
programs for once are commanding first
place in the minds of Americans in
terested in such subjects; and the ex-
PLANTATION of it all is not difficult. We
have had so much OF smalI-bored, tech
meal, hair-splitting consideration of our
social problems that there Is a dis
position 20 disgust with the whole
thing. II Is refreshing to people who
for twenty years have been waiting for
some court decisions as to the right of
our Government to perform the most
fundamental and absolutely necessary
functions. To observe how they are 90
ing about matters in England. Having
long ago established the governments

cases; having got far past the point
where there is uncertainty about the
political power to achieve telling
economic results: and having deter

situation now demands vigorous action,

It need not be observed here that a
proposal parallel TO the British budget
would cause in this country shock
