OHIO'S NEW SENATOR.

Cyrus Locher the Senator from Ohio ap- pointed by Gov Donahey to succeed the late Senator Willis, is a Cleveland, Ohio, lawyer of high standing who made a record in business. He is one of the group of young men that sur rounded the famous Tom L. Johnson during the several terms he served Mayor of Cleveland most of whom have gone to the front in political, professional business Probably the most distinguished of the bunch is Newton D. Baker, who was Corporation Attorney for sev- eral years under Mayor Johnson, succeeded the talented Tom Mayor and was afterward Presi- dent Wilson's Secretary of War. Another of the young men who were close to Tom Johnson is now Senator Dill of Washington State
 Locher did not enter politics again after the Johnson Baker regime until he was appointed Di- rector of Commerce by Gov. Donahey The Gin cinnati Enquirer, commenting upon Mr Locher's record, says
 As Director of Commerce he brought
 to that important position the exper-
 it with credit Business experience
 just is sadly needed in the Senate,
 and MT. Locher will have opportunity
 to apply his experience in business to
 the problems before that body,
 which much need business treatment.

THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC
 PRIMARY.

That was great fight Tn the California prl- maries and it was managed by great leadership Gov. Smith Senator Walsh and Senator Reed are all National characters in all the term lm- plies But at that the leaders in the local fight were scarcely less renowned. James D. Phelan led the fight for Gov Smith. William c. McAdoo for Senator Walsh and William Randolph Hearst for Senator Reed. And let it be said, in Cali fornia at least, former Senator former Mayor and former Chairman of San Franciscos Fire Re mobilization Committee James b. Phelan is not McAdoo or MT. Hearst. However, the California voters rather than leadership, were the determ- ming factors in the battle of ballots, and by an overwhelming majority they determined it in favor of Gov Smith.
 California has added zest to the paraphrase, East Coast, West Coast, All Around the Land From the Atlantic New England and Middle the Mississippi across the Mountain States and up and down the Pacific Coast, including sec tions that are wet or regarded and arid, or supposedly arid, regions it has been a great Smith tidal wave He has practically made a clean sweep of the entire Northern Democracy
 One of the striking features of the Democratic primary in California is the circumstance that thousands on thousands of Republicans changed their registrations to Democratic in order to par ticipate in it, and Mayor Roph and others who did so said that those who became Democrats in order to vote for Gov. Smith in the primary will vote for him in November.

Another Pacific Atlantic Canal?
Engineering and Mining Journal.)


 One subject has an irresistible attraction for the politician: the possibility of recommending vast expenditure for project. Yet the construction of another waterway to link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans is a problem that deserves to be tackled from the engineering stand point. However, the subject is one that has already assumed political angle with rich gestures from Washington that quarter a half billion dollars be spent in Nicaragua for this purpose. Congressman has only to plan a trip through the Canal to feel himself qualified to urge second waterway national neces- sity deserving of immediate consideration. An engineer in a position to judge will doubtless agree that the present traffic through the Panama Canal be doubled and then almost doubled again before capacity is reached; especially if ad ditional provision is made for increasing existing facilities in the Zone area
 The tendency is to build larger ships, and this will be reflected in economy of water and time in the operation of the locks. A diminution in the production and transport of oil from Cali fornia appears inevitabe this also will auto matically reduce Canal traffic The West Coast of the United States is becoming increasingly self-dependent and is looking to the East and the South for foreign markets Only fast and regular freight and passenger service between California and Chile is needed to defect much traffic from the East Coast. When the present Canal is used to a least half maximum capacity, it will be time to investigate the necessity or the opportunities for another engineering achieve ment of magnitude similar to what has been done the Isthmus; but the less politics in the venture the better
