IT IS Important if true that the senate has confirmed the nominations of Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens of the Isthmian canal, submitted a fortnight ago. In view of the fact that both gentlemen have resigned. Without this confirmation the canal could not hope to be built.

HAERIMAN AND THE CANAL. No matter what exists in the public mind ns an estimate of E. II. Harriman the crowned king of railroads, his simple statements in regard to the building of the Panana canal, stamp him as a man of sound, practical, common sense. He will rind a great many who will subscribe to his notion that federal red tape is not a good shovel. He would like to build the canal himself and no doubt he would build it if he assumed the task. But he would not assume the task unless h.e could be

jeic unirammeied in the exercise of his

Judgment. Ho would not brook the in

xerrerence and clogging of vacillating

commissions, meddlesome congressional committees, self-seeking senators.

scolding magazine writers and fussy

presiuents. te would hire the men he wanted and pay them enough to keep them on the Job. He would not have

to wait weeks and months to have his work passed upon by persons who know less about it than himself. In

short, he would build the canal as he would build a railroad and his simple system of building railroads is to build

them. It la a patent fact that the gov

eminent gets less ror a dollar than the private individual or corporation gets for 50 cents and that it takes more

time to put up a four-story federal building than it does to put up a tenstory bank.. By the time the government gets through spending a million dollars on the construction of a $400,-

uuu postomce the structure is either

too small for tha city it is supposed to ornament and accommodate, or it is ready to fall down. This may be a

thing apart but it involves the point that Mr. Harriman is getting at. The digging of the Panama canal would be a siuiple proposition in the hands of the man who rebuilt the Union Pacific, It woud be a simple proposition

in tne nanus of the men who building Gary.

Of course, if Mr. Harriman or the United States Steel corporation built the Panama canal the United States would not own it, but if it is meant that the present generation shall live to sail through it that is thfe way it shall haVa to be built.

FROM A REPORT published In one of the Chicago morning papers it can be taken that Hammond is still regarded as a place of iniquity either by a certain class of Chicagoans or by some of its newspapers. They seem to think that when an individual wants to drop into obscurity temporarily all ho has to do is to blow into Hammond. This Is re-impressed on reading in the Chicago papers that George AY. Fitzgerald, the suspected assorting teller in the sub-treasury where the $173,000 is missing, was reported to be in Hammond in order to avoid further notoriety. That Fitzgerald was found in the sub-treasury at the time when he was said to be here, does not, however, chango the opinion that Is being intimated of Hammond in certain circles.

IT MUST be a terrible blow to a man to be asked out of a clear sky whether he is dead, when as a matter of fact he is out in the back lot in the calm pursuance of his duty, feeding the stock. There is some comfort, however, in tho knowledge that the reported demise created enough of a sensation to cause the police to hitch up the ambulance without so much as verifying the report. Some men arc born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. Christ Goetz is entered in the third class.

WITH THE EDITORS. The Pistol Habit to Blame. The concealed weapon is responsible for hundreds of deaths every year. This refers to pistols in hip pockets. It is said that London is disturbed over a record during the last year of 23 homicides and attempted homicides. In nine months of 1D06 New York had 52 such killings, to say nothing of uncatalogued attempts. For the year recently closed Chicago, one-third as large as London, reported 109 homicides by shooting and added 163 suicides of the same class. There is oniv

one explanation of the difference in these death rates in America there is a widespread custom of carrying concealed weapons. A quick temper U encouraged by a

foun me my pocKei. xi is a questionable adjunct for a wise man, while a fool and a pistol make a combination that is almost certain to result in trouble. A very largo proportion of the men who carry them have little or no excuse for doing so. The presence of common sense is greatly promoted by absence of the pistol. Not only in nearly all cases is it childish and useless, but it is also illegal, dangerous and a distinct abettor of crime. It removes from men not only the opportunity but the necessity for clear thinking. It menaces friends and foe alike. It is the confessed resort of the rowdy, the bully and the coward. The fact that the concealed pistol is against the law amounts to nothing. We ignore thousands of other laws. It Is a proposition involving simple and straightforward common sense. Take away the gun and you probably remove four-fifths of the possibility of homicide. The man who is most n relia

ble today may be the very man who forgets himself tomorrow. No pistol means no yielding to sudden criminal impulse; It means fewer unjustifiable homicides and more real safety for the

Individual and for society.

ine gun is responsible in nearly every instance. Coupled with a quick

temper it does deadly work. The man without a pistol is better off, considered In all ways. The pistol habit is

New York, March 2. The stock market opened irregular this morning with professional traders rather confused as tc which side of the market to operate upon. Lower prices from London for the American shares induced quite a little selling here at the opening. The same erratic tone was noticeable in the Reading issues. This stock is the undoubted leader of the market at present. It opened at 115 7 sold down to 114 and back to 116. The same class of trading in

it as heretofore, the Friek crowd milking the market both ways. On any severe break they buy sufficient stock to boost the market up and on the rally sell it out again. The usual rumor about the Reading company contemplating the issuing of a block of short time notes will not down. This

bear factor is dished up every time the

market becomes weak.

St. Paul, Union Pacific and Copper

were inclined to weakness in the early trading but later rallied and closed with very little change In prices from that of yesterday. Tho bank statement was a little better than the trade generally expected, after its publication a spasmodic rally was instituted throughout the list. It was, however, of short duration, on tho advance liberal selling orders appeared which took the edge off the market. The close of the market on the whole was irregular and feverish. Some of the shrewest traders in Wall street are beginning to talk more optimistic on the situation in view of the fact that stocks have had a decline of an average of about ten points. They argue that a rally in prices is in order if only temporary.

board light. Cash demand for domestic consumption small. The speculative market steady with a slight loss for the day. Oats: Dull, narrow market with a lower tendency. Nothing in the news to cause fluctuations in values. The only trade observable was that of professional scalpers who trade for small profits. Absence of outside speculation in this market does not stimulate activity. Cash demand fair for a Saturday. The market closed steady.

The Ostrich Habit.

THE LEGISLATURE will adjourn In another week and the governor has already signed some five or six bills and has vetoed another. Mr. Hanly may well say with the boy who was assigned fifteen tasks for the day, and was caught fighting with another boy at the close of the day, "When I get throiigh with the job Pm at and do fourteen more I will be all through."

THE ARREST of the men who stole $173,000 from the United States subtreasury in Chicago still remains a matter of hourly possibility.
