FoR 4 PACIFIC FLEET.

The senate's amendment to the ma
val appropriation bill directing that
in the discretion of the president half
the entire naval force be kept on the
Pacific coast, is a recognition of the
advice of many leading naval experts
and, incidentally, a step toward the
pacification of some of the residents
of the Pacific coast states who have
professed to believe hat trouble with
Japan is inevitable and that the scene
of the conflict, when It comes, will be
on the Pacific.
The amendment adopted by the SEN
ate is merely in the nature Of q sug-
gestion, as the president always has
discretionary power concerning the dis
position of the army and navy forces
and may keep them all on the Pacific
or the Atlantic, as conditions may
demand. Some question will nat
urally arise as to the wisdom of divid-
ing the feet. While the navy is now
recognized as being able to cope with
the sea force of any other world power,
its division would probably expose it
more to attack by the navy of Ger
many, England or Japan. With the
completion of the Panama canal the
massing of the naval force on either
the Atlantic or Pacific may be accom-
plished without much delay, but the
strength of the navy would be mate
rally weakened by the proposed
division, under existing obstacles, In
the way of effecting a junction of the
two fleets.
Should President Taft decide to ac-
cept the senate's suggestion and send
half of the nations navy to the Pacific
the way will be opened for a campaign
for increasing the navy in both oceans,
thus calling for a naval outlay far in
excess of that now demanded at each
session of congress.

PUTTING THEM BACK INTO POLITICS.

PUTTING THEM BACK INTO POLITICS.
With the liquor interests and the
Antl-Saloon league both favoring an
elective police board for Omaha, 1t is
quite possible that they may have
their wish fulfilled, but the people of
Omaha who are not fanatical on the
liquor question are entitled to know in
advance what the consequences will
be.
Ever since Omaha has been a metro
our legislation on this subject has been
to take the fire and police departments
out of politics and to minimize the
influence of those under police sur
v~eillance over the police authorities.
1t was the desire to eliminate poll
tics that put the appointive power in
the hands of the governor.
1t was the desire to eliminate poll
tics that required the appointments to
membership to be bipartisan.
1t was the desire to eliminate poll
ties that required the commissioners
to take a special oath not to be con
trolled by political considerations.
Whatever reform has been accom-
plished in Omaha in these directions
is sure to be lost IL we are compelled
to embrace an elective police commits
sion.
Every fireman and every policeman
aspiring to promotion who thinks n
candidate more friendly to him than
another will be pulling political wires
in his behalf.
Every saloon keeper and every dive
keeper, and everyone else who wants
police favor will be in politics to show
the members IF the board that he has
a power not to be ignored.
The Police commission may take an
oath not to be guided by political con
siderations, but when questions come
up as to fire M police department
discipline, as to promotions n special
assignments, the political pull, or the
ability to take political reprisal, will
exert an irresistible influence.
An elective police board will be
much more inclined to play to the gal
lery than an appointive police board,
and each member will be figuring all
the time how his Official action may
affect his chances for reelection,
With an elective police board the
places on it will be a maelstrom Of
local politics, and putting the fire and
police departments back into politics
will be a distinct step backward.

END THE CANAL CONTROVERSY.
Seven expert civil engineers Of ma
tional and international reputation
have unanimously and emphatically
approved the plans now being prose-
cuted on the Panama canal. They
have endorsed the lock type and de-
clared that the Gatun dam is perfectly
safe and that every working plan
adopted by Colonel Goethals and the
Panama Canal commission is not only
feasible, but the most desirable that
could have been offered. This report,
submitted to congress by President
Roosevelt, with the endorsement and
approval OF Mr.. Taft, should put an
end to all talk about changing the
type of the canal.
Some members of the senate, not
ably Kittredge, Teller and Foraker,
have been c%ontending that the lock
type is a mistake and tina it is not too
late to change the plans and build a
sea-level canal. Other outside experts,
like M, Bunau-varilla and Poultney
DA6ChONS hoNG DGCh loouluk WdIninES
against the Gatun dam, declaring it
unsafe and doomed to collapse when
the weight of the ocean is thrown
against 1t. These critics have been
given audience in congress and in the
newspapers until the public has been
forced to feel some concern over the
prospect of an early completion Of the
great interoceanic waterway. So
strong did that feeling of uncertainty
become that Mr.. Taft decided person
ally TO visit the canal with a body of
engineering experts not committed to
any type of canal or to any other fea-
ture in connection with the enterprise.
Their report is a sweeping v~indjcation
of the administrations work and
plans, the only criticism being that
Colonel Cocktails has been overcau-
tious and has made the locks and
dams stronger than necessary. With
that report on record the country will
be prompt to agree with President
Roosevelt that any attack made here
"AS~A Sh "a eSpO VI Ndhdi VI Inc man
ner of constructing 1t will be "in real
ity merely an attack on the policy of
building a canal at ALL"
The engineers have agreed in their
estimate that the completed canal will
have cost about s36O,0OO. 900. The
original estimate was that the canal
would cost about $14O, O0O, 900. To
date there has beer an expenditure Of
$40, O00, 600, but nearly $50, 000, 900
Of this went to pay the original pur-
chase price from the French Panama
Canal company, the cost of the govern
ment OF the one and the very heavy ex-
pense Of sanitation, necessary to make
the canal habitable. The other items
OF increase in the original esti-
mate, which was not intended to in
clude the purchase price, the cost of
government or the outlay for SANTA
ton, have been due to necessary
changes In the original plans. 1t is
certain that the government will have
to pay quite an amount more than the
original figures, but 1t IL highly graf
flying to have expert testimony to the
fact that the money is being properly
used forsthe construetIoh Of the canal
on the most feasible plan.
