Problems of the Canal.

The problems in connection with the
Panama Canal will by no means
End with the completion of the work
Of construction. The sale of sup
,lies upon the isthmus, it is now
suggested, should be made a matter of
municipal control, a government COM
lnissary and laundry being recommend
Id. In addition to this, coal and oil
should be sold by the government, it is
paid, not only to American vessels, but
% foreign ships.
1t is important, too, that the tonnage
rates should be decided as soon as pos
sible, and this problem will be before
Congress during the coming winter. An
other question is the repatriation of all
the foreigners upon the isthmus who are
being employed by this government.
There is a great body of these foreign
iaborers, and they are now occupying
ground that win in time become i'm
mensely valuable. Besides this, it is
deemed wise to reduce the foreign popu-
lation to the smallest possible number,

The Get Together" Dinner.

The Retail Merchants Association
had a felicitous idea when it hit upon
the name of 'get-together" banquet
for the proposed function which has
been announced for November Q
next. Two other very practical sugges-
ions are that the affair shall be busi-
aess-suit occasion, and that the speakers
shall be business men, who are to re-
spond only to toasts of especial interest
to commerce and trade Under such
conditions the dinner ought to be, and
no doubt will be, participated in by
every retail merchant in the District.
Gatherings such as this one promises
10 be are valuable opportunities for the
business men of any city. They put
every man, be he merchant prince or
small proprietor, upon an equal footing.
food fellowship takes the place of ri
airy, and matters of common veal and
Importance are discussed freely without
Embarrassment or restraint.
\ The idea thus developed ought to help
business.

ten year-old Harrison Bailey. of 924 E
street northwest. Pepper and the three
boys were bruised on the legs and re-
ceived cuts about the hands and face.
E;yewitnesses declare the accident
was unavoidable. 1t was caused most
ly by the slippery condition OF the
street. Pepper attempted to cross the
car tracks and did not notice the ap-
preaching car, or thought he could pass
before It reached him. the police say.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
By A. w. MACY.

GEN. Pixies TRAGIC DEATH.
During the war of 1912 an ex-
pedition was organized by Gen.
Henry Dearborn for the capture
of the British forts on Lake On
tario. The first one attacked was
Fort York, where Toronto now
stands. The attacking column
was led by Gen. Zebulon NJ. Pike.
The outer battery had been taken
by assault and the guns of the
main battery silenced. While
waiting for the garrison to raise
the white flag Gen. Pike seated
himself on a log and began talk
ing with a British prisoner. In
stead of running up the white
flag as expected, the British COM
mander ordered his men to re-
treat, and then had the powder
magazine blown UP. Fifty-two
American soldiers were killed by
the explosion. and 1SO wounded.
A huge stone fell upon Gen. Pike,
breaking his back, and he died a
few hours later. Thus perished
one of our great explorers, the
discoverer of Pixies Peak, at the
early age of thIrty-four.

In an Atmosphere of Gloom.

DR.. Felix Adler says that the human
race is sliding backward. Mankind of
the twentieth century, he asserts, is los
ing the moral virtues that mankind of
the fifteenth century possessed. He finds
that petty stealing is common among
children; that falsehood is universal
among them; that they have ceased to
revere their parents, and that the trend
of the century toward complete damna-
tion is seen in the fact that the newspa-
pers are printing columns and columns
about sports.
When Dr. Adler lauds the moral
forces of the fifteenth century, we may
be pardoned for wondering if he has
read history; but when he adds that
democracy is to blame, because in the old
regime, kings, monarchs, and ariS-
tocracies repressed these anti-moral
forces" it is certainly difficult to regard
him seriously. He has no place in this
democratic and progressive country. He
dwells in an atmosphere of unnecessary
gloom. If he could penetrate the thick
cloud of pessimism which enshrouds him
he could find children who are not
thieves and liars, and who really have
a deep and sincere regard for their par
ents. He would find that Sunday schools,
against which. he says, there is an up
rising, are still flourishing, and, in fact,
are attended by men and women Of ma
ture years. He would find the churches
active; he would learn something about
the great Men and Religion movement
which has been inaugurated under eff
fective auspices. and he would find that
the standard of morality in public office
has been greatly improved, even in the
last decade
Much that exists might be better; but
even as it is. there is more of the real
spirit of religion in the world to-day
than ever before. The human race is
moving upward all the time

Must Be Caught and Punished.

The men who placed dynamite under
the bridge in California over which the
Presidents special train was scheduled
to pass must be caught and punished.
It will be a serious reflection upon po-
lice skill if they are not apprehended.
At this distance from the scene of the
outrage, it is impossible accurately to
weigh the conflicting evidence 1t may
be that strikers or their sympathizers
placed the explosive in position; it may
be that the act was committed by those
who hoped to throw discredit upon la
Dor organizations. The fact remains,
however, that the dynamite was put
under the bridge piers by human hands,
and that if an explosion had occurred, a
terrible catastrophe would have resulted
1t is the duty of the authorities to find
the men responsible and see that they
are brought to justice.
The incident is too serious to be
lightly overlooked.

Where Does Roosevelt Stand?

~,luporlc~s and admirers of Sen
F3lIette have formally launched
g. >iIcutial boom. Assembled in
...:n t. the number of 800 or more,
a.i representing mainly the States of
Wisconsin. Minnesota, Nebraska, and
Illinois, they cannot be said to have a
aide sphere Of influence. The principal
factor il the gathering was undoubted-
Y the former Secretary of the Interior,
lanes R. Garfield. and his prominence
Mas due TO the fact that he was sup
posed to have recently been in confer
!nce with ex-President Roosevelt Mr..
Garfield assisted in drafting the reso-
luton which indorsed Senator La Fol
cites candidacy.
This action in Chicago gives concrete
;orm and expression to the determina-
ion of faction in the Republican party
. defeat President Taft If they can
lot prevent his nominatiOn-and it does
not seem possible at this time that they
can achieve this object-they will GER
tainly strive to accomplish his defeat at
the polls. They claim to represent a
movement which is struggle to wrest
the control OF the government in the ma
hon and States from the representatives
Of special privilege, and restore it to the
control of the people" They do not in
their declaration specifically charge that
President Taft has been false to his
trust, but they claim that the Republican
leaders generally are dominated by spe-
7ial Interests. incidentally they hope to
gam Conservative support by claiming
that they propose constructive legisla-
lion. not destructive litigation.
In this division in the Republican
party, where does Mr.. Roosevelt stand?
Was Mr.. GarfeId's participation in this
an:i-Taft gathering with his knowledge
and consent? Is he, too, to be aligned
against the President whose nomination
he secured and whose election he made
possible? These are the interesting po-
litical questions of the moment. Mr.
Roosevelt has been, and still remains, a
factor with the people Before long
they will want to know under which
Aag he proposes to serve.

TAFT SILENT ON
LA TOILETTE BOOM
President Seems Sanguine of
Success in 1912.

San BernardinO, Cal, Oct II (on board
President Tafts special train).--No COM
ment by President Taft was made to-day
as his train whirled over the sunny
stretches of the Sierra Nevada foothills
on the move initiated in Chicago yester-
day by the National Republican Progress
slve League to bring about the nomina-
ton of Senator La Toilette for the Presi-
dency.
Early in the day, before he left Los
Angeles to start back home from his
jaunt to the Pacific, the President read
CT the launching of the La Toilette
BOOM
Efforts to get some statement from the
President as to what course might be
pursued by his supporters to encompass
the defeat of the La Toilette move were
refused. The President gave no hint re-
garding his own ideas, and Secretary
Hilles, Just now manager of the Prest-
dents 1912 campaign, was silent. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the President is
sanguine of denomination, despite the La
Toilette boom.
The President made half a dozen stops
on his trip from Los Angeles to-day,
taking in Long Beach, on the Pacific,
where he had luncheon At Riverside,
Pomona, and Ontario he talked to large
crowds, at each stop making casual ref
erence to woman suffrage, Just put
through in California, and urging the
women to take advantage of the right
to vote.
Leaving here, the Presidents special
will take a 11Oo-mile jog over the Sierra
Nevedas and up to Butte, Mont, making
no pause during the thirty-six-hour run
he
the long trip from the Atlantic The
President will reach Butte Thursday
morning, and after a few hours stay
proceed on through the State, reaching
Billings at night. Friday he will de-
vote to Wyoming.

CHAMP CLARK'S DILEMMA.

Mr.. Champ Clark's Presidential boom
headquarters, which were located on the
eighth floor of the Waldorf Astoria, have
been ordered closed. The manager, MIR
J. W. Clifton. has gone to Ohio, where
Speaker Clark is leCturing this week.
Col. Giles Allison, formerly Of Mexico

Congress district. reports that. owing to
the fact Of the Clark Presidential head
quarters being opened in New York,
Col Bob" White. editor Of the Mexico
Ledger, and other prominent Democrats
have announced themselves as candidates
for the Speakers seat in Congress.
According to the Missouri primary
laws" said Col Allison yesterday,
Champ Clark cannot be a candidate for
President and hope to be a member OF
the next Congress. In short. he must
decide on taking chances of winning the
Presidency by renouncing the Speaker
ship of the next House
IF primaries are held to decide the
choice of the Missouri Democrats, Folk
Clark, and Wilson will will have to file
declarations with the State committee.
AT the same time, Col White for one,
would announce himself a candidate for
Congress. So you can see how Speaker
Clark could not run for two Offices at the

New York, Oct 17.-Endearing terms
