Choking the Canal.

The miShap at the Panama canal,
where the channel has been blocked by
landsIip. or. as some dispatches ex-
press it, an upheaval of the bottom as
result of pressure, is not an unex-
pected happening. Many months ago
Col Goethals gave warning that such
accidents could be expected from time
to time until the earth of the canal
rum. The area of possible trouble is
that lying within the Culebra cut,
where immense masses of rock and soil
lie on each side of the channel, and nat
urally exert a powerful thrust upon the
banks and the bed of the canal. In one
particular place slides have been in
progress for many months, and it was
expected when the canal opened that it
would be necessary to keep dredges
constantly on duty at this point until
the slips have brought the gradient of
the banks to the point of stability. An
upheaval of the canal bottom under
the immense pressure of the mountain
Gus banks is a somewhat more serious
matter than d slide, though it can be
Immediately corrected with little diff
ficulty. If the bed of the canal is likely
to rise from time to time without warn
ing navigation is naturally at serious
| disadvantage. Yet this fault. too. will
surely be corrected in season. 1t is
merely matter of continuous, patient
dredging and unceasing watchfulness
! to prevent damage to shipping as a re-
| suit of these occasional shifts of the
soil. Ultimately the canal will be as
safe a waterway as the Hudson river

will support Gov. Glynn He had been
in rebellion, but after a little confab
with the Presidents unofficial ambas-
sador struck his colors and agreed to

The republicans complain OF this
manifestation of the new leadership.
AS they put the matter. Col House is
a citizen of Texas, and has no warrant
in precedent for meddling with the af-
fairs of another state. Let him shiny
on his own side; confine his political
activities to his own commonwealth;
employ his winning ways in keeping
order at home.
But this argument does not fit the
new conditions. State lines have al
most entirely disappeared in some
things entirely so. A strongly CEN
tralized government Is rapidly taking
the place of the old federation, and
under the new order Col. House is as
much a citizen of New York as of
Texas. No pent-up state-even of the
large size OF Texas contracts his
powers. His influence and winning
ways are free to run in one state as
another. Let the President and his

A Military Stock Taking.
From the Boston Transcript.

FROM the Boston Transcript.
Representative Gardner of this state
has prepared j resolution of inquiry as
to the military preparedness of the ma
ton. He suggests the appointment Of a
commission to Investigate the subject;
or, in other words. he would have a
military stock taking. Despite his dis
,claimer of any jingoistic tendency, Mr..
Gardner must be prepared to encounter
a good deal of criticism from pacifists
at the present time. Among these is a
radical element which, not discouraged.
or, we might say, not enlightened by
the great war in Europe, is agitating
for world wide disarmament the Unit
ed States to lead in the operation by a
reduction of its small army and not too
large navy. Such an agitation is de-
cidedly premature, to say nothing as to
its practicability. The war may leave
the belligerents in a condition which
will induce every one of them to keep
at least powerful reserves under arms.
If German militarism should win we
cannot expect that the defeated nations
will be long reconciled to their defeat.
On the other hand, if Germany Is de-
feated there is the possibility of dis
sensions among the victorious allies.
Neutral nations like the United States
may have all the more reason after
peace for seeing that they are not
taken at disadvantage by any nation
bent on securing a revision of the re-
suit of the war of 1914.

David B. Hill declared that while he
was still a democrat he was very still
AS a result, Mr.. Bryan was badly de-
feated. as again in 1900 and in 1908. The
New York democrats could not be
brought to his support except in small
numbers at any time.
And Charles F. Murphy is entitled to
an equal measure of Mr.. Bryan's graft
tude. He. like Martin H. Glynn. sup
ported Mr.. Bryan in all three of Mr..
Bryan's races for the presidency. In
1895 and in 1900 he was but a subal-
tern in the Tammany organization. but
in 1905 he was commander-in-ch
and did all he could for the democratic
ticket.
In those days. as is the general I'M
derstanding Mr.. Wilson was anti
Bryan Neither FREE silver nor other
features of Organism appealed to him.
He held to the views of the Cleve-
land faction. and wanted Mr.. Bryan
knocked into a cooked hat
Behold, then, the union of democratic
factions upon which are based the bet =
ting odds in favor of Gov. Glynn's
election. The Bryanites, led by Mr..
Bryan himself. are standing shoulder
to shoulder with the Clevelandites. led
by President Wilson. Old differences
seem to be forgotten. In a locality
where he was once eXecrated, Mr..
Bryan is now acclaimed by an enor-
nous crowd packing the largest hall.
and Gov. Glynn, who supported Mr..
Bryan when Brooklyn supported first
Mckinley and then Taft against Bryan,
is the democratic candidate for gov,
ernor.
Mr.. Bryan must have enjoyed him

many of his former opponents and
heard them cheering him. THE enemy's

Not long since The Star suggested
that Col. House might he induced to
enter the senatorial contest in Texas
and become the Mark Hanna of the
Wilson administration In the Senate as
he has been in the field of general man
agement outside. He has the means to
support office. and unquestionably the
ability. He has wide acquaintance
among public men. and would be popu-
lar in official society.
Some of his friends. however, think
there is more important work for him
to do on the outside. and that he should
continue in his present capacity az the
Presidents confidential man with q
rowing commission. bringing recall
citrants into camp here. making new
friends there and composing faction
troubles yondcr. They say he has ideal
talents for such missions. and that the
President, strong as he is. needs just
such a man in his business.
COL House was unknown to national
politics until he appeared as sponsor
for Mr.. Wilson. He had amassed a
fortune by excellent business manage
mcnt, and been contented with that
life. But he had the faith in Mr.. Will
son that Col. Harvey and James Smith,
jr, possessed, and. like them. assisted
in setting Mr.. Wilson's feet in the path
to the White House. Since then he has
concerned himself more and more with
politics, until now he is regarded as
one of the most skillful players of the
game in the country.

"The Enemy's Country"

In his speech in Brooklyn Tuesday
night Mr.. Bryan said:
Aside from the record that Gov.
GltHh has made--aside from the prin-
ciples for which we stand in this cam
paigfi--f am interested in him person
ally. for when l needed friend in
New York he was my friend. He was
a friend when l first needed friends,
and when for the second time / need
ed friends he was my friend and
when for the third time l needed
friends he was my friend. I am glad
thaa his devotion to the things for
which L fought as a candidate has not
impaired his popularity"
Mr.. Bryan must have felt the keen
est pleasure in paying this tribute.
He was recalling occasions which tried
the souts OF many New York demo-
Gratis and when many went over to
the opposition. Some sought the re-
publican camp, and voted with the
republicans; some sought halfway
house and voted for candidates with
no chance of success. while some took
