with the newly organized republic of Panama, the
control of the canal zone was secured in February,
| 1904, and the property rights of the canal com
pany were transferred to the United States in May
! of the same year
| The foregoing facts taken from a long ar
ticle by Lieutenant Colonel George W. Goethals,
chairman and chief engineer of the lsthmlan Ca
nal commission, who has charge of the work OF
construction. Assurances are given that the con-
struetion is going forward with greater speed
than was contemplated when the United States
took charge and that the dream of centuries is
to become reality on schedule time. Colonel
Goethas dismisses as wild the rumors of engineer
ing difficulties circulated in the United States
a year or so ago. and says the difficulties encoun-
tered at the Gatun DAM about which grave rumors
have been afoat offer no obstacle to the work OF
construction. Of this particular place, he says:
81 venture the statement, without fear of contra
diction, that the site of public private work
of any kind has received such thorough and ex-
haustive examination and investigation as the
foundation of the dam and locks at Gatun" The
location and conditions surrounding it are all
right.
All of which is comforting to the layman. Al
though the latest estimate of the cost of the big
ditch is $1OO,OOO,OOO more than the estimate of a
year ago, the people generally have confidence IN
the ability of Uncle Sam and his engineers to car
ry to successful conclusion anything which they
begin. Whether the building of the Panama canal
turns out as 'humanity's most colossal blunder,"
as one critic styles it, not, the future alone
determine The government will finish the canal
and let the future take care of itself.

WHERE REFINED SPEECH
Is CULTIVATED

For Christian dignity of address, refinement
of speech and decency of language commend US to
the courteous and well-bred men who, from time to
time invited to fill our sectarian pulpits. The
sermon, speech or allocution delivered by Mr. Adam
Dixon Warner in the First Methodist Church last
Sunday evening. and reported by our Mondoy morn
ing papers, was, in elegance of diction, refinement
of language and choice of expressive Anglo-Saxon
epithets, unsurpassed by the noblest efforts of Pat
rick Henry or the most eloquent perorations of
Daniel Webster. That the emotions of the large
audience confined their expression to subdued ap-
plause is hard to understand when even we, in the
quiet of our editorial attic are thrilled through
and through by the simple reading of this bril-
liant extract:
"In showing the effects whisky has upon the
individual, Mr.. Warner exclaimed: Look at JEFF
fries 1t has taken him year and a half to get
the booze out of his system before he dares to fight
dirty big, doublefsted niger. I could have
licked Jefries myself year and half ago.
"a dirty, big double-fsted niger" Here you
have the dignity of the pulpit maintained, reverent
speech, becoming the house of God; respect and
charity for the colored members of our race incul-
Gated Il could have licked Jeffries myself wear
and half ago." No wonder there was subdued
applause by the ladies and gentlemen present at the
divine service This cheerful and encouraging
proclamation from the pulpit of the First Meth.
odist Church, Salt Lake City will immortalize Mr..
Adam Dixon Warner; will for all time give tone
to the church. and, above all, will contribute very
much to refine the manners, elevate the taste and
polish the diction of the younger element of this
most pleasing and urbane congregation.

the viewpoint of the spectator Indeed, it is con-
| tended that the game can be made more interest
ing to the spectator if the rules were changed
as to do away with the mass plays in which thirty
/ young men were killed and some hundred seriously
injured during the season just closed
1t is hardly possible that anybody wants to
take from the schools and colleges of the land
their greatest game, but the opposition to mass
plays is widespread and seems to be based on good
reasons. No doubt the action of the school au-
thorities in the eastern cities will result in changes
in the rules which will eliminate the dangers of
the present style game, but whether their action
will have than a local effect is doubtful. A
meeting of athletic authorities of a number of
colleges will be held in New York few days after
Christmas, when the rules governing interscholas-
tic games will be considered. 1t is confidently be-
lieved that agreement will be reached which
will result in a game very similar to the English
association soccer" football Soccer foot
ball has been the subject of great deal of rid
lcule from the opponents of the American game,
but it is nevertheless fine game, capable of de-
velopment and it is, besides, far less dangerous
than the present style of play
The demand for change in the rules of the
game will have to be needed if the game is to sur
vive. The record of the past season is probably
attended with more fatal accidents than any sea-
son that went before Another year or two with
a large number of fatalities will result in an al
most unanimous demand for the prohibition of
the game. Those who believe in football, and who
want to see the game live, will do well to change
the rules concerning mass plays and those con-
corning interference. Perhaps the soccer" rule
that the players may not carry the ball in their
hands, if put into the American game, would solve
the difficulty. But matter what the remedy, if
it is not applied soon, the school authorities which
have been slow in condemnation will be compelled
by public opinion to abolish the game altogether,
and that would be unfortunate indeed

THE PANAMA CANAL.

For more than three hundred years. it has
been the dream of navigators and those interested
in the spread of commerce to have shin wafer
way connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
at the Isthmus of Panama. However there was
no definite move made looking to the consumma-
tion of the work until 1876 when an organization
was perfected IN France, which two years later
secured concession from the government of Co
lombia for prosecuting the work. In 1879 an in
ternational congress was convened with Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps as the moving spirit, to consider
the best location and type of canal which decided
on the Panama route, and under the influence of
De Lesseps, the sea-leve type was adopted. The
company organization was perfected and the stock
foated in $780, and for several years preliminary
work was carried and the surveys were com
pleted For about seven years work was carried
on, when, after careful study of the difference In
the heights of the tides either side of the 18TH
mus, the sea-level type was abandoned, and it was
decided to build lock canal Work was pushed
forward until 1889, when, on May Is. ON account
of financial difficulties and scandals. the whole
thing was abandoned The United States became
interested in the canal in the same year that work
was suspended by the French company. COM
mission was appointed to investigate the two
known routes for canal at the isthmus viz, the
Panama and the Nicaragua routes This com
mission, after two years of work. reported to con-
gress on November 16, 1901, in favor of the Pan
anna route and recommended the lock type of ca
nal Pursuant to this report, congress on June %,
1902, authorized the President of the United
States to acquire the property rights of the New
Panama Canal company, which had been organ
lied after the original company had failed, TO
hold control of the route and perpetual control of
the strip Of land upon which the canal was built.

STANDARD OIL DECISION.

The decision of the United States court of an.
peals dissolving the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey as an illegal combination, and contrary IN
the provisions of the famous Sherman antitrust
law is regarded by the government as one of the
most important decisions since the enactment Of
the law, July 3 1890. a high official of the Stand
ard Oil company however, the day the decision
was rendered, is reported to have said that the
Standard would undoubtedly continue to sell oil
$50 there you are" as Mr. Dooley would say. The
decision is sweeping in its injunctions and probi
bitions and amounts, in effect, to permanent dis
solution of the company.
The court holds that the transaction by which
the Standard Oil company of New Jersey secured
the control of the nineteen subsidiary companies of
the oil trust constituted combination and con.
spiracy in restraint of, and to monopoIize. COM
meree, among the states and with foreign nations"
and that the government lis entitled to an inimc.
ton against the further continuance thereof The
decision did not seriously affect the price of oil
trust securities in the markets. and this is thought
to indicate the attitude of the company in regard
to the Importance of the decision. The trust will
carry the to the supreme court, and if the de-
cision is there upheld will seek to modify the anti
trust law far as it renders the company illegal
The decision is another one of those "victorieso
for the people in which they receive no relief from
conditions which are piling more and more on to
the high cost of living. The people must pay the
cost of both sides of the litigation, and must buv
the oil besides

A CANADIAN NAVY.

After all these years, the Dominion of Canada
has discovered that its two sea coasts are entirely
unprotected from the ravages of foreign foe. so
we to have Canadian navy, at an estimated
cost of S12, 100000 Thus the world will be given
notice that if Germany or any other national
wishes to rival in bigness the navy of the British
empire it will have to take into consideration the
rich and powerful dominion to the north as fac
tor, as well as other colonies of the empire which
have entered the field as militant defenders of the
home country. A short time ago it was reported
that some $20,000,O00 would be asked from the
Canadian parliament by the advocates of Cana
dian navy, but this amount has been materially re-
duced with three cruisers and four destroyers as
the initial contribution to the defense of the do
minion.
The proposal to build Canadian navy has nat.
urally led to discussion in the dominion as to the
effect such proceeding will have on questions
which are more discussed in the United States than
at home. VIII Canadian navy foster nationalism
at the expense of imperialism! VIII it tend to
create sentiment in favor of separation from the
empreF VIII Canadian navy imply that the do
mn1on is to become a party to the Concert" of
powers of Europe? 1t is questions like these which
have arisen since the first steps toward the creation
of navy were taken. However. there seems 70 be
no general opposition to the proposal to helm the
home government, the only opposition being as to
the form this help shall take. The discussion and
the actual building of Canadian warships will be
watched with interest in the United States and we
can but express the hope that the defenseIess coast
lines will be amply protected in future years.
