THE PANAMA PROBLEMS.

As the Panama Canal draws on to
its completion. there are a number of
arguments produced to show that one
feature of the work or another feature
is the predominant and governing fac
tor in the building, and it must be
admitted that every one who makes
claim for pre.eminence of ono OF the
other of the leading features Of the
construction, puts forward a good case.
The sanitation is often mentioned as
the great feature of the canal, since
the place where it is built was plague
spot of the earth Fevers ruled on the
isthmus, and il was dangerous for n
white man to remain there any length
of time. The medical and sanitary Of
6ciaIs took hold Of the problem with
vigor, and now Panama IS one of the
health resorts Of the world, completely
reversing its old i'll fame as a plague
spot. A triumph like this can justly
| be claimed and heralded as the chief
| feature Of the Panama Canal construc-
| ton, because without ii work would
| have dragged, would have been i'm
| mensely more costly than it has been,
| and thousands Of lives would have been
sacrificed, whereas now the death rate
is smaller than in the average like pop
ulation in the temperate zones.
| OF course there are those who claim
that the actual work of digging the
canal itself is the great thing. Those
who argue for this have good reason
on their side; the canal, OF course, is
the great thing of all. And yet the
canal could not have been dug in the
time that it has been dug, in the econ
omicaI way that has signalod its prog
ress, and with the small loss Of life
that has attended the work, except for
the sanitary improvements that pre-.
ceded the actual beginning Of construc'
tion.
Again. there are those who make a
good showing TO the effect that with
out the proper skill and the admins
trative control in the handling of the
vast army Of men, assembled to do the
work of building the canal, supplying
the laborers, and keeping up the good
sanitary conditions, the work would
have been a failure, or at least would
have been immensely more costly and
would have taken a far greater leugth
of time. Those who argue on this line
also have good reason to do so, and q
writer in Current Literature for June
dwells cmphaticallv upon this feature
He holds that il has taken something
more than engineering skill TO build
the canal, something more than the
sanitation of the isthmus, something 8
more than the mere material work IN
volved. And he holds that the real

VETO OF ARMY BILL.

In the hurly-burly of the reports
from Chicago, the President s veto, OF
the army appropriation bill has large
" escaped public attention. 1t will be
remembered that the Senate and House
agreed upon legislation in that army
appropriation bill which, in fact, would
legislate General Wood out Of his posi-
tion as Chief Of Staff This seems to
have been coupled with the PROPOSE
tion which involves tho retention Of
lot of useless army posts, and per.
haps also the advancement Of General
Pershing in the army lists, In other
words, politics and personal animosi-
ties aud ambitions have sway in this
legislation.
President Taft s veto was on account
Of this special legislation in the bill,
and his reasoning was well placed. We
do not believe that the two Houses of
Congress will be able to muster a two
thirds vote to override him. That veto
ought not to be overridden, for if there
is good reason for the measures pro-
posed by way Of special legislation in
the army appropriation bill, those meas
ures should be acted upon deliberately,
and on their own merits, and not forced
in as part OF general legislation, But
Of course Congress will make the usual
army appropriations.
1t may be that this general legisla-
tion is right and proper, but it is GER
tain that il does not receive the sup
port of the War Department; and it
is fairly presumable that measures af-
| fecting the army that are disapproved
| by that department are by that very
disapproval put upon their defense.
Therefore they should be made to stand
alone, and the justification for them
should be plainly shown.
