ForeshadowIng Of Destiny
Chicago Inter Ocean.

OntCdBO inter Oce6E-
The United States and the Mexican
republic have no joint intention of an
nexing the turbulent Central American
States that lie between their possess
sions. They never will have that Joint
Intention. Present newspaper reports
to the contrary are quite false. Or,
rather, they are half false and half pre-
mature. Yet who can doubt that such
reports, though repudisted today, hold
up mirror to the future, not of Mexi-
co, but of this republic?
The Panama Canal is sure to attract
part of the United States to the 18TH
mus. There will be thenceforward A
moral and intellectual closing in upon
turbulent little republics. 1t will be an
assimilation rather than an annexation.
1t will be process like that in Porto
Rico today-carried forward by the de-
sire of the people there rather than by
the will Of the people here.
The view is too long to arrest our at
tention for more than a moment in this
year 1909, yet some child now born will
live to see no flag between the Great
Lakes and Darien save that of the Stars
and Stripes. Destiny foreshadows it
who can doubt it?

Canal Critics Answered.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
Col. George W. Goethals, chairman of
the Isthmian Canal Commission and
chief engineer in charge of the con-
struction work in progress at Panama.
II recent address delivered before the
Illinois Manufacturers Association,
makes answer TO those who have been
keeping up an incessant demand that
the lock type of canal be abandoned and
the sea-level plan adopted, that ought
to put conclusion to the controversy.
He makes it plain that the advocates of
sea-level waterway are arguing for
something indefinite as to cost and
equally indefinite as to time requisite
for completion.
The latest proposal of those who in
sist on the sea-level type is that the
waterway should be five hundred to six
hundred feet wide. The chief engineer
points out that there is absolutely no
data as TO cost of such a scheme. With
mountains instead of hills to remove,
estimates of the time and money nee
essary to construct the Straits of
Panama." are next to impossible.
Those proposing this stupendous under
taking are guessers of the most opti-
mistic class; nothing is easier than to
eliminate mountains of dirt theoreti-
cally.
AS to the practicability of the lock
type upon the plans that have been
adopted, Colonel Goethals declares:
Every criticism against the stability
of our locks or dams can be attributed
either to an argument in favor of ones
own plans or to absolute ignorance of
the exhaustive data concerning their
safety now in existence. The several
other plans of lock type canal have
nothing in their favor that the plan
now adopted does not possess to a
greater degree" AS to the Gatum
Dam he makes the statement and chal-
langes contradiction, that the site of no
public or private work of any kind has
received such a thorough and exhaus-
tive examination and investigation as
the foundations for that vast construc-
ton. There is no longer a doubt con-
corning any of the underlying strata.
The foundations will carry the load,
the dam will hold back the waters, and
the work will altogether be sound and
enduring.
Colonel Goethals is thoroughly con-
WINGED that the lock type of canal is
best and the reasons which he gives will
be apt to satisfy those who consider
the subject with unbiased judgments.

A. w. GLEASON.
Noforv DnAl;,
Negro taxpayers In Virginia.

Richmond News Leader.
Figures from the second auditors re-
port, printed today, made a showing of
negro owned property in Virginia which
will surprise many people. AS holder Of
real estate and personal property. the
negro, fifteen years ago hardly counted,
now he is a considerable factor. He
pays taxes on more than $25, 900, 900 of
property. He owns property in every
county of the hundred in the State but
two and in every city of the nineteen.
There is curious interest in the fact
that Dickinson county, Va, probably is
the one county south of the Mason and
Dixon line in which there is not a single
negro citizen or resident of either sex
or any age. 1t gives a republican ma
Jority of something over 200 in a total
vote Of 1,275. The other county in
which negroes own no property is Buch-
anan, where the total negro population
In 1900 was 8, where the total negro
vote Is l and where the republican ma
Jority Is near 300 in a total vote of ], 100.
The negroes paid for the fiscal year
19O7-OS total taxes to the State of Vir-
GINA of $2s2, $40. In 1900 their total
tax paid in the State was $I88. 1913. This
shows an increase in tax payments by
the negroes of nearly 500, 900 in eight
years and indicates that they have gain
ed rapidly in material wealth since the
enactment of the new constitution TAX
ing them out of politics In other words,
calculating roughly but approximately
correctly and using round figures, the
negroes in the eight years from 1900 TO
1908 gained mora than a third as much
in taxable property as they had gained
in the whole thirty-five years of their
political activity from the close of the
war to 1900
1t is notable that in the city of Rich
mond the taxes paid by colored people
in 1900 were 81, 900 while in 1908 thew
were $4,000. This is gain of more
than 100 per cent. in the eight years be-
cause the tax rate, we believe, is slight
ly lower now than it was in 1900.

The Democrats at first received the
Payne tariff bill with hearty approval
They are now beginning to criticize and
doubt its merits. The Republicans in
tend to revise the tariff as was prom
ised in the National platform. They
will not reform the tariff according to
the Democratic idea, because it is i'm
possible to know what the Democratic
idea is.

The Inheritance Tax.
Baltimore American.

baltimore American.
President Taft strongly recommended
the incorporation of an inheritance tax
feature in the new tariff measure. In
this he was taking the position that Mr..
Roosevelt sustained, who frequently ex-
pressed his views favorably to such a
measure. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Carnegie, in one of his striking ut
terances, gave his strong Endorsement
to this tax. He declared that the great
fortunes of America have been built I'D
through signal opportunities, that they
are derived from the vast native wealth
of the land, and that there is peculiar
fitness in having them make recon-
pense to American society for the es-
pecial privileges through which they
were amassed.
Whatever reasons exist in foreign
countries for such a tax-and it has
been adopted by many-these reasons
are strengthened in the United States.
1t is not here, however, so much a case
of the exigencies as the equities of tax
Avn NhC ACdhSI lSdtuTe LlS SUD-
ject is that advanced by students of
American society who point to the ten
denotes to the capitalization of massive
fortunes that become pooled in the en-
terprise of the money kings.
Still the demand for an inheritance
tax is not class demand. 1t is a de-
mand that is primal in the facts Of
American life. There can be no rea-
sonable objection to it as q federal
measure. The claim that the several
states should derive the advantage is
puerile- Enterprise in this country is
national, certainly the kinds of enter
prise that develop the mammoth for
tunes. 1t is to be hoped that in the
tinkering with the tariff measure, the
income tax feature will not be impaired.

How Ono Got His Name.

"An example of a curious Christian
name may be found" says a CORE
spondent, ''nearer your offices than
most of the cases you have printed. The
facts are these: The father of bow

Robert. When they arrived at the
church the matter was still undecided.
The father informed the curate that the
child's name was Thomas.
"Oh, no." gasped the mother distress
fully.
The curate, regarding the woman as
the ruling spirit, promptly baptized the
infant Ono.
