He takes exception to published statements of Prof. Miller and Sena- tor Kearns, whose examinations were comparatively brief. and brands their charges as -'erroneot1s. unwarranted and unfair"
 It was not long ago that General Goethals expressed his determination to remain on the job until he was sat- isfied that there would be no further hftches and his application for retire ment, which has been favorably acted upon, must be taken as meaning that such condition prevails Although the canal was closed for five months he shows that the traffic handled was three-f1fths of what was passed the previous year and calls attention to the fact that coastwise shipping was lower because of the scarcity of ships, since many of those which had been engaged in the coasting trade where withdrawn for foreign service. He re- iterates his recommendations about changing the method of 1evying tolls and points out how the earning ca- pacity of the canal can thereby he increased. while throughout his report he makes it evident that he has great faith in the new waterway.

No Chance for Argument.

MT. Editor: I have read with con- siderable interest and amusement the letter of "A Southerner' who claims that to violate one's oath, defy the law and to attempt to substitute, for rec ognized government another is not to rebel. P 9fa fe sf@ +a
 There is no chance for argument upon such premises. and there is no need of assaiiing them for they are self condemning.
 I have many pleasant memories of the Southland, and of the hospitality of her people when I was there to help put down rebellion which put ir question the future of this repub- lie. sss
 There is no profit in slavery from any point of view. It is. a curse upon state or ae nation, and I use this term slavery as applied to organized capital which places men who are called free men" in a condition no better, and often worse. than the slave system of the south.
