Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is said to be mightily displeased because of the probable selection of the Panama route for the isthmus canal. The senator has worked longer and harder than anybody to get the government to build a canal, and his work has aD been on the line of the Nioaraugua route That he should now feel disappointed at the probable section of another route, is perhaps natural, and yet it does not really carry with it any repudiation of or reflection on Senator Morgan’s work. When he worked for his route the Panama ronte was an impossibility because of the attitude ofthe French company that owns the incompleted work there. Now that that attitude has wholly changed the Panama route has suddenly become the most favorable route of the two. Yet the credit due to Senator Morgan is just as great, whichever route is taken. It was his work that solidified the determination of the American people to build the canal, and it was his work on the Nicaraugua route that brought the French company to terms on the Panama ronte.

That is a common kind of a lie that anybody could tell. If he lies at all, he lies good and hard, like old Washuna, chief of the Kaws, who told the newspaper men in Washington, the other day, that he was 207 years old. Probably old Wash’s father held Powhattan’s bat when he prepared to knock Capt. John Smith out, the first round, and Pocahontas broke into the ring and declared the mill off.
