recent landslides make Il an unsafe
venture for a battleship of the first
class to attempt a passage through
the Culebra Cut.
Col. Goethals informed both Secre.
try Garrison and Secretary Daniels
that he thought It extremely doubt
full whether the parade could take
place. This was some time ago.
other and still more recent slides
have put an end to all doubt. The
parade has been abandoned and af-
ter further investigation and weigh
ing the many other disadvantages TO
the proposed celebration. IL has been
decided to postpone the official dedi-
cation until July.
II may never be held. We have
the canal, IL is open to the commerce
of the world. Nations know that the
canal has been completed. The ded-
ication is merely a matter of form
and is more a matter of sentiment
than one of necessity.
Evidently, for years to come, earth
slides i'm the Culebra Cut will he a
serious menace TO canal traffic. Col
Goethals, according to his own ad-
mission, cannot guarantee when this
danger will be removed.
The engineers who calculated that
by the removal of so many hundred
millions of cubic yards of earth and
rock the canal would be finished
learned how badly mistaken they
were many months ago. They have
had to contend with unexpected OBJ
stacles in the Culebra Cut. The
end is not yet in sight. II will not
be in the least surprising If for an
period the big dredges are
kept at work on fresh slides that
choke the channel. Nature offers no
answer to the problem except its
own ficklenesss
1t will be disappointing, of course.
to many people who had looked for
ward to the dedication of the canal,
but 1t is a postponement that cannot
well be avoided.

The subcommittee appointed by
the Republican State Central, Com
mittee will. it is stated, recommend
the holding of a platform convention
at Lexington June End. 1t should be
held not later than the first week
in May, and while We have nothing
against Lexington as a place of
meeting, our recollection of the
cramped conditions to which the del
egates were subjected at the last
State convention held there are not
very pleasant. Louisville is the city
in which it should be held not only
because of the superior hotel accom-
modations, but for its political effect
on local conditions. We hope the
committee will change both time and
place. The candidates cannot know
what to expect until the platform is
made and three months would be lit
tie enough time in which to make
the canvas for a nomination.

A banquet for the Kentucky Repub-
licans will be held at the Louisville
Hotel on Friday evening, February
IL, in honor of Lincoln's birthday.
II is planned TO make the occasion
one long to he remembered. At
least one speaker of national promi-
hence will be present and local ora
tors will be given a chance to be
heard. No invitations will be ex-
tended except generally but everyone
will be welcome. The price has been
fixed at sl.O0 per plate. 1t is
thought that out of this meeting may
grow plans for substantial union of
all the factions in the coming State
campaign.

Looks like the boys at Frankfort
have not been able to agree on the
exchange of offices in an entirely sat
isfactory manner. Bosworth and
Newman both want to be Governor
with Attorney General Garnett still
to be heard from. State Treasurer
Rhea is the only one asking for the
State Authorship, but State Superin-
tendent Hamlet has cut in and is
asking to be made Secretary of
State, the position we had hoped
would be assigned to our old friend,
Assistant Auditor Likens. AS
yet none of them are asking to
be made State Treasurer. Doubtless
the job of handling the deficit does
not appeal to the knowing ones.

Determines Practical Value or Wa.
tiers.

The foregoing are a few Of the
figures of incidental interest present
ed by WaterSupply Paper 2474 of
the United States Georogical Survey,
Some Stream Waters of the
Western United States The work
reported by this volume is, however,
of higher practical importance than
the above statement would indicate.
1t is the result of an investigation of
the quality of western stream waters,
made for the purpose of determining
their availability for use for irriga-
ton and other purposes. Some wa
tiers contains ingredients that make
it impossible to use them for irriga-
tion unless certain precautions are
taken i'm applying them to the land
and in draining them off. Certain
ingredients in water make it unavail
able or destructive if used in boilers,
and the quality of water used i'm a
manufacturing plant may very large
ly determine the quality of the manu-
featured product. The report can
not fail to be of value to the manu-
featuring and agricultural interests
OF the West; and study of the infor-
nation it contains will prevent many
costly mistakes inconnection with
the Industrial development OF that
part of the country.

Should BE Self-Sustaining Nation
Representatives of the British and
French governments, it is stated, are
in this country endeavoringi to pur-
chase 100000 worth Of wooden
goods suitable for winter army use
for which they are prepared to pay
cash in New York and assume all
risks of delivery. The uncertainty
as to whether our mills can handle
the order emphasizes the necessity
of at once placing this country on an
absolutely independent commercial
basis. The mills are there, the oper-
atives are willing to work, but there
is no wool to be made into clothing
The scarcity OF wool is due to the
fact that ever since the Democrats
carried the election of 1912, owners
of sheep, knowing beforehand that q
low Tariff was coming, have been
turning their sheep into mutton as
fast as they could. The British gov
eminent, wIicE is anxious to buy
wooden goods, refuses to let us get a
pound of wool from any British pos
session.
Whether tie wool manufacturers

order remains to be seen, but one
thing is certain, and that is with a
settled and permanent policy of ade-
quate Protection, so that wool grow
ers could rely On it, we should be in
a position at al times to sell wool
en- goods to anyone wanting to buy.
It shows the necessity of making the
United States self-sustaining ma
ton. The country is able to do it,
for we are in a position to produce
whatever We require If assurance is
felt that capital invested in industry
will not be wiped out Dv the competi~
ton of the products of cheap labor.
Capital must have this assurance be-

CHANGING IN MID.STREAM.

1t has not been the policy of this
paper to discuss the great Europeao
war in it's editorial columns for fear
that some new turn will make its at
titude ill-becoming before the paper
can be published
But the latest development deserves
some attention because of the stu
pendous magnitude of the undertake
ing, and the probable bearing it will
have on the forces. Emperor Mich
olas, the ruler of the entire kingdom
of Russia, has displaced as command
er-in-chief Grand Duke Nicholas.
AS reward for the splendid tactics
displayed by the Duke since the war
burst forth in the early days of Aug
ust, 1914, the Car places him In COM
mand of a remote brigade of the
Russian troops which have been in
active during the last few months OF
the war.
The Gar has changed horses in the
middle of the stream. And more cur
ious still, is his move in taking COM
mand himself. Nicholas has never
had any field experience in the arts of
war, so history tells us. He has vir-
tualIy been a prisoner in his palace
during his entire reign, except for the
sudden burst of popularity which
greeted him at the advent of the war.
Military authorities from all sides
of the warning nations have agreed
that the Grand Duke is among the
greatest heads in all forces among the
warning nations. Many times have the
headlines thrilled the news that the
extraordinary tactics of the Duke has
extricated the Russians from some
grave peril His retreats have beer
masterful, and strategist tell us that
the art of retreating has it power il
defeat, no less than in the glories of
victory.
And at this time is all the more in
teresting the prediction of the cele-
brated author Leo Tolstoi himself a
Russian. He wrote that out of the
north would came conquerong genius
who would surpass the great Napoleon
in his triumph and his victories. In
this prophecy Tolstoi tells of the war
that would burst upon Europe
