simpler. That countIy's experience IS
guide for this country only within GER
tain limits. One of the doubts which
arises regarding the comforting of addi-
tional authority and the imposing of
new duties upon the Interstate Com
n,erce Commission is the capacity of
single body of men to perform the tasks
required of It. Upon this question the
experience of England. with her COM
pact territory and with relative uni
fornity and stability of conditions in
thoroughly settled and developed coun-
try. throws comparatively little light
But while the problem in the United
States has peculiarities sufficient to
make it wise to go slowly in develop
ing regulation. testing the effect of each
step before making another. the success
of England cannot be regarded other
wise than as encouraging. The testi-
mony there is that the railroads have
benefited as much as the public from
government control. The experience Of
this country will doubtless be similar.

ESPERANTO.

Tile most puzzling feature of the uni
versal scientific language propaganda lies
in the fact that its advocates have not
yet been able to agree among themselves
OH the adoption of one of many such
languages invented. Esperanto, the
tongue Of the hopeful name. has unques-
tionably distanced its rivals for the mo-
mcnt. thanks to its pathological 1ngenu-
ity leading TO marvellous simplicity, but
. quarter of a century ago Volapuk had
made equal progress. 1t had students
and organs in all civilized countries OF
the world and had been adopted by
great mercantile houses, notably IN
China, for purposes of International cor
respondence Then, almost within the
space of single year. it was dropped
and practically forgotten.
The real need of an artificial supple
mentarv international language would
appear to grow less from year to year.
All educated Europe is practically BIZ
lingual to-day-RusSia, Germany, Hol-
land and Italy are even trllingual.
France has taken up English with en-
ergy and the educated Spaniards and
South Americans almost invariably speak
French. No doubt they will take up
English tomorrow. The spread Of our
language in the Far East is well known.
In fact. English is already in reality the
internationa language, certainly of COM
MERGE. and it answers all purposes per-
fectly well, even when written and
spoken with pronouncedly Ollendorffian
touch. The masses of the nations go
through life needing and using only one
tongue-their own. To make them BIZ
lingual would require revolution in the
educational systems of the world, be-
sides being an unnecessary proceeding,
serving no practical purpose. The pos
sibility of an ultimate abandonment of
all natural languages for an artificial
universal one lies entirely beyond the
scope of present-day speculation. Eng
lish is far more promising aspirapt for
universally than any made to order
tongue. 1t has outstripped French-Ger-
1aan never had a chance. Spanish alone
has future before it, and perhaps Rus
sian. but the Russian is polyglot by nat
ure.
Another obstacle in the path of the
EsperantistS is the pronunciation or
their language How great and real this
difficulty is was proved at the conclaye
which elected Pope Plus y. Latin was
used. yet, owing to native differences Of
pronunciation and accent, the Italian
cardinals were unable to understand
their English colea CUES. while the
speech of both sorely puzzled the Ger
man members of the college. The eX-
perts gathered at Washington this week
will encounter no such difficulty; hut
what would happen if Yorkshire Es-
perantist of average attachments should
forega Their with one from the Midi
after both had twisted the language To
the convenience of their tongues by some
years of practical use?

THE PROGRESS OF PANAMA.

Progress at Panama commonly means
progress on the canal, which is being
effected at gratifying and. indeed, sur
prising rate and it is in that progress
that Americans are naturally most d.
rectly interested. We must. however,
remember that the canal and the Canal
Zone are not all of Panama. There is a
considerable country entirely apart from
them. with which Americans are not as
we'll acquaint as they might proftably
be. and which is well worth our intel
Iigent and sympathetic attention. we do
not hear as much concerning it as we do
of some of its neighbors. upon which 1t
is to be congra tulated. seeing the kind
Of notoriety they get Yet Panama Is
four times as large as Salvador. nearly
half as large again as Costa Rlca ana
pot so small as to be out of comparison
with the three other Central American
states. while its population Is about
equal TO that of Costa RIGA and three
fifths that of Nicaragua
Panama has from the beginning en-
loved the unique status of republic
with an endowm ent instead of the ma
tioual debt which is an encumbrance
1lTon almost every other land. Also 1t
has had the great advantage OF having
two of its chief cities improved with all
modern appliances by the United States
without cost to itself. 1t would. how
ever. be great mistake TO suppose that
these two things comprised all its fiscal
and industrial benefits. On the contrary,
the republic itself has taken hold Of Its
own affairs with commendable energy,
prudence and integrity. Statistics and
other information from official sources
published elsewhere In this paper tell
an encoura cling tale Of n sufficient reve-
nue. economically collected and discreetly
administered and Of extensive public
works Iudicionsly planned and efficiently
executed, leaving a sufficient surplus Of
receipts over disbursements.
These results, it must he borne IN
mind. have been attained by Panama en-
tirely outside of the Canal Zone and
apart from any direct American infiu-
ence. Indirect influence Their, doubtless
has been The American example has
been before the Panamans. They have
seen in the Canal Zone impressive illus
trations of the collective benefits Of good
government But ii IS none the less
greatly TO their credit that, more readily
than any Of their Latin-American neigh
i5ors. they have practically applied the
lessen. and while the construction Of the
canal viii from one point of view be our
greatest achievement there there will be
another Of a different kind. but not I'M
worthy Of comparison with ii in our
protection and tuition of The fsthmian
