GREAT WORK AT PANAMA.

Yesterdays news Of the favorable
opinions Of visiting American civil en-
gineerS upon the manner in which the
Panama Canal enterprise is being con
Quoted IS promptly followed by to-day's
ncwS Of recordbrcaking progress on the
work. Although il was a short month.
February saw greater total of exca-
yation than any other month In the his
tory Of the canal. Tho reports Of the
extent to which it Is approac ching com
plction give abundant ground for cx-
recitation that 1t will be finished and
opened IN traffic at the date which has
been suggested About 73 per cent Of all
cyca vation is done. together with 5e per
cent ~ the Gatun locks. 60 per cent If
the Catun dam and more than 67 per
cent Of the construction work at Pedro
Miguel. Such figures arc eloquent.
Great. however. as are these material
achievements, We should give still higher
rank 10 others upon which the visiting
engineers laid much stress. The re-
proach of the IeSseps regime was not
that 81 did not do much work, for il did ,
but rather that it was unable 10 avoid
state of affairs which was scarcely eX-
sccerated by Froude when he said that
IN all the world there was perhaps not
concentrated I'm any other spot $50 much
"swindling and villany. so much foul dis
lease. such a hideous dungheap Of moral
and physical abomination.' Our admin
,stration has been efficient from the en-
ginpering point OF view, but, more than
that, it has been morally and physically
clean. yellow fever and pecuation,
malaria and debaucbery, have alike been
eliminated from the isthmus, or so sup
pressed and held in check as 10 be negli-
.ible. That IS the real greatness of the
achievement.
AN American canal, on American soil,
under American control" was the ideal
which Grant and Hayes IN memorable
messages commended to the American
peoplc. The best OF all news from
panama is that this ideal is being real
lied. A typical American community,
with the best and not the worst charac-
tcristics Of American life, has been
created in an alien and tropical land. 1t
Is literally true, ms the visiting engineers
saw. that that community compares well
with those at home in the United States
in health and social order. Indeed, IN
bea]fhfulness the Canal Zone enjoys an
onyjable supremacy over the average
community in states of comparable con
6itfons. To have done the work ~ "i'

TINE MAYOR AND THE STRIKERS.

the MAYOR AND THE S7RlhERS.
Mayor Gaynor spoke with the voice of
the city In expressing his indignation at
the present express strike. The public
has little patience with the expressmcn
for declaring another strike after 40
short an interval and for causes so In
ADEQUATE. The Mayors advice TO resume
work and leave the trouble to arbitra-
tion was sensible and should have been
accepted by the drivers. His promise
now that the Police Department Will In
every way protect those who decline 10
strike is welcome They should be pro-
tected. but for n different reason from
the one which seems TO be uppermost in
the Mayors mind when he pronounces
the present strike criminal" and threat
ems 10 use the whole power of the city
10 defeat It,
The Mayors idea appears 30 he that
because the strike Is unjustifiable the
city should be especially active in pro
tecting those who refuse to take part In
it or who accept employment in breaking
II. This attitude lends credibillfy 10 Ine
suggestion that because the Mayor as
approved the attitude of the employing
corporations in the last strike almost
as much as he does that Of their en-
ployes in the present one. the police
were not as active in preventing violence
and protecting property OH that occasion
as they might have been. But the city :
duty is the same. no matter what the
Justice of strike may be. Violence
should he sternly repressed and the right
to work of any one who Is willing 20
work should be protected.

pERFTNCTOPC.

The Democratic party goes perftnCto-
rily about the task Of fulfilling its pledge
70 provide the state With direct pri-
maries. The legislative session is half
over-at least we hope II is-and now IT
is announced that Governor Dix's "Cabl-
net" has talked Of the subject and that
letters have been dispatched TO other
states for information. direct prl-
maries bill Is not simple thing to draft,
and the Dix administration has lts hands
full of more Interesting bill drafting,
which may make jobs for Murphy, While
this particular task Of bill drafting
threatens the Job of Murphy himself, ana
all the work IS q muddlc. When, there
fore. is n direct primary bill, which no
Democrat really wants, likely TO he per-
fected!
Meanwhile. the need Of direct pri-
maries becomes daily more apparent.
The present system is at its worst IN

running the state Legislature very much

tions. with the Governor Of the state

liz opinion meeting with scarcely Il re-

robbed Of all their honest meaning. ana
everybody is aware OF their hollow pre-
tence Majority rule means Murphy
rule. "Tbe authority Of the caucus
means the authority Of Murphy. Party
government means Murphy government
And back of Murphy, according to the
current belief. are wolfish interests. All

the present system has been paradcd be-
fore the eyes of the state.
