The President and the Canal

in accepting an invitation to an exposi-
ton to be held on the Pacific coast in
1919 in honor of the completion of the
Panama canal, the President observed
that the date was beyond his term of
o1ice Beyond his first term But those
who issued the invitation had in mind q
second term. They want him to be pres
ent still as the head of the government.
Tie canal may figure in the next presi
dental campaign. Strictly speaking. there
is no politics In the great enterprise The
country without regard to party is COM
mitted. and everybody hopes for early
and complete success. We have the
money. and are redeeming a national OBJ
legation taken In the face Of the world.
But, as has so often been observed
politics enters everywhere In our affairs

Persons of the Play.

The worlds d stage, as Shakespear,
wrote
Or Bacon, if you will.
Some of us rise old truths to quote
With eloquence and skill,
And make great names which they, dis
play
With pride through many states
And some of us must simply say,
my lord, the carriage waits
Miscast, we often sadly grope
Through lines that do not fit;
And yet We persevere and hope
Somehow to score a hit.
So each must listen and obey
The promptinss of the fates,
Fen though he does no more than say
My lord, the carriage waits

To the Full Extent.

IF the District Commissioners. in theil
study of the budget conditions. will strict
" construe the limitation against exceed
ing the prospective revenues carried b!
the current appropriation act. they viii
have no difficulty in reaching the conclu
sion that they are justified in sending tt
Congress their statement of the loca
needs in terms of the full amount OF ex
pected income. $126OO.OO0. The prohibit
ton against exceeding the revenues Is
couched In the following language:
Hereafter the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia shall not submit
nor shall the Secretary of the Treasury
transmit to Congress regular annual estf
mates for expenses of the government OF
the District of Columbia for any f1sca
year that shall exceed in the aggregat e
the sum equal to twice the amount OF
the total estimated revenues of the Dis
trict of Columbia for such fiscal year
Said estimates shall take into conSidera-
ton and embrace all charges against the
said revenues arising under appropria-
tions other than the regular District OF
Columbia bill
This makes no mention of the repay.
ment of federal advances. Had it been
TIE intention of Congress to require the
commissioners to state the local needs in
terms of expected revenues minus an an
nual repayment it would undoubtedly
have so stated in terms as explicit as the
prohibition against reporting the needs
TO an amount exceeding the expected
revenue.
This whole matter turns upon the ques-
ton of the purpose of the estimates them
selves They should be regarded a
statement of the local requirements, re.
port of what is needed based upon direct
official knowledge of the situation If the
commissioners were charged with full
Legislative power and were framing the
appropriation act they would of necessity
be compelled to take the federal advances
into account. But they are merely recon-
mending to Congress certain eXpendi-
lures for specific purposes in the full
knowledge that obligations are owing to
the United States which Congress has In
q broad way decreed shall sbe paid in five
iEstallments.
The Commissioners have so consistently
urged Congress to abandon its policy of
appropriating for permanent works out OF
current revenues that they cannot now
we'll afford to concede the justice Of the
failure to separate the two classes of ex-
penditures by lowering their estimates
from the utmost limit permitted by the
law. 1t is due to their own record now
10 proceed without reference to the fed
eral refund and to leave to Congress the
full responsibility for the allotment of the
local income.

Statesmen and Politicians.

In suggesting several weeks ago joint
debate between Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Bailey. The Star expressed the opinion
that such a meeting or series OF meetings
would attract more attention than any
OF like nature had attracted since the
Lincoln-Douglas meetings of 1858.
The Star instituted no comparisons. 1t
did not liken Messrs. Bryan and Bailey
TO MIR. Lincoln and Judge Douglas in
point of ability, nor intimate that the
tariff issue of this day is as important
as was the slavery issue of that day. In
some quarters. however, such meaning
has been assumed. and opinions based
upon il are expressed.
Especially severe are the expressions
o: those who do not admire either the
Nebraskan or the Texan. Joe Bailey
measure up to Judge Douglas? Bah. A
pigmy beside a giant. And. Bryan and
Lincoln? AS far apart as the poles in
point of intellect. The one a SNOWY,
Shallow rhetorician. all pose and procla-
nation. and the other great master of
simple English prose, and towering
nSure in history.
1t was Thomas B. Reed who described
statesman as a politician who is dead
Let us not forget that both Mr. Lincoln
and Judge Douglas are dead. Both when
alive were ridiculed and derided, and 1t is
still sort Of fashion in some political
circles to describe Judge Douglas as nav
ing been a good deal of a faker and
swashbuckler. Mr.. Lincoln has come into
his own. but between 1860 and the day of
his death was appraised by his enemies
as cross between a clown and q tyrant.
Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Bailey being alive
are under fire. 1t will not be possible to
take their true measure until they are
gone. But something may be said with
safety now. Both are undoubtedly able
men 1t is a. reflection on the country to
undertake to cheaper Mr.. Bryan. The
man who for twelve years has held a
great party in the hollow of his hand
three times led 1t in a presidential cam
palsn. and. though unsuccessful. polled
more votes than any other candidate his
party has ever had. is far from being a
SLOUGH or an accident Years hence his
extraordinary popularity and campaign
ing will be theme of political writer's,
and some man of that day ambitious of
the siants-are all dead.
So with Mr.. Bailey. 1t is nonsense 10
tag him as mere spouter full OF assur-
ance. He is fun of matter. as every man
who has confronted him in debate can
testify. Texas has never before sent SO
able a man to the Senate and does not
hold lis intellectual equal within her
borders. If he lives he may loom larger
in history than Judge Douglas, which
will give him very large place. indeed

Party managers are the most alert men
alive, and can see a party advantage
around the corner. 1t is very seldom that
a point of any value in the game is over
looked.
The work on the isthmus is we'll In
hand now. Health is good, and the dirt
is flying. There is no report OF dlscord
among the officials in charge. II these
prosperous conditions continue, ano
marked progress is quotable in 1912, the
republicans, In both their platform ana
speeches. will refer with pride to the 1act
as feather in the party's cap. They VIII
claim success both at home ana at
distance for the administration ana urge
that the canal remain under the Iatt SUI
pervision until the end.
On the other hand, If compllcatiohS
should arise: if for any reason tine pa'tle
of the levels should be reopened; II COM
plant should lie that the work is Tagging
il new and larger figures as to the totai
cost should be put out, the democrats Will
seize upon the subject. IF you want the
canal completed in good time and tie
proper shape, and at a total cost that Will
not bankrupt even this rich country, take
the job out of the hands OF the republlca
bunglers and turn it over to us. we Will
give the country the worth OF It's money
and advance American reputation 1or
push and ability in the eyes of the world.
Thus the democrats.
If Mr.. Taft gets second term, ana
the two great oceans are connected IN
1915, he will be a busy man attending
celebrations that year. The Pacific coast
will celebrate, and the Atlantic coast as
well. Both coasts, from one end to the
other, will be stirred profoundly, and will
indulge in jubilations and Fluctuations

kind in this country out of mind for elab-

Conquering Cancer.
ON the Cleveland Leader.

A Chicago physician of note, who has
Just returned from Europe, declares that
many eminent men are working hopefully
upon the cancer problem, and he is so
impressed by their zeal. their hopes and
their resources, personal and scientific
that he predicts the conquest of cancer
within five years. He thinks it probab
that more than one cure will be discov
cred at about the same time. This is en-
coura ging news. and il may we'll prove to
he founded upon something more and
better than Individual optimism The
siege of such curses of the race as cancer
is so vigorous now and SO confident that
great results can be counted upon Any
day may bring the solution of problems
which have defied science for centuries

PolitenesS.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Though very few will make the personal
application President Taft's sermonette
on politeness. delivered in the Mormon
tabernacle at Salt Lake City last Sun
day contained lessons that his fellow
countrymen, with very rare exceptions.
need to learn. His theme-the Anglo
Saxon's lack of politeness-and his home
" treatment of it. will offend none, for
we dare say that not one of his hearers
or his readers viii accept the gentle add
monition for himself. For that same
reason it will please us all, for all OF us
cheerfully admit that the rest of us are
sadly in need of lessons in manners. 1t
might be added with equal truth un-
happily. that Mr.. Taft's plea Is not likely
to make the least impression upon the
armor of selfish compiacency which the
average American never puts on.

say that it's new skyline is in itself more
striking. if not more beautiful. than the
old was at its best. Yet ii must be ad-
mitted that to most observers the gen.
