Panama Canal.
At the insts'.jce of Colonel Coethala.
tbe army engineer officer In charge of
the work osi tbe Panama cans). ! hare
just made a fM to the Isthmus to in
?pect the work done and to consult
wltb him on tbe ground ns to certain
problems whlcb are likely to arise In
tbe ue.ir future. The progTd? of the
work Is most satisfactory If no tin
?Jpocted obstacle presents Itself the
canal will be completed well within the
ttsse fised by Colonel (Joethals? to wit.
Jen. 1. 1915?and within tbo estimate
of cost. $375.000.000.
Among questions arising for present
eoiutioo Is the decision whether the
canal shall be fortified. I have already
stated to the congress that 1 strongly
far or fortifies t loo, and I now reiterate
this opinion sod auk your consideration
of the subject In ibe light of tbe report
already before you made by a compe?
tent board.
If In our discretion we believe mod?
ern fortifications to be necessary to the
adequate protection and policing of he
canal, theu It Is our duty to construct
them. We bsve built tbe canal. It Is !
ear property. By convention we have
Indien ted oar desire for nvu Indeed un
dertaken Its universal and equal use
It Is also well known that one of the
easef objects In tbe construction of the
canal has been to Increase the military
effectiveness of our nsvy.
Failure to fortify' the csusl would
leave the attainment of both these
slms In tbe posit loo of rights snd ob?
ligations which we should be powerless
te enforce snd which could never In
any other way be absolutely safeguard?
ed against s desperate and Irresponsi?
ble enemy.
la determining what the tolls In the
canal should be we certainly ought not
to Insist thst for a good many years
la come they shoul? s mount to enough
te pay the Interest on the Investment
of $44X).UOO.OOO which the United
fitstes has made In tbe construction
of tbe caual. We ought not to do this,
first, because the benefits to be derived
by the United States from this ex?
penditure are not to be measured solely
by s return upon tbe investment
sly own Impression Is that tbe tolls
esjgnt not to exceed $1 per net ton. On
Jan. 1, 1011. tbe tolls In tbe Sues canal
are to be 7 fr.iLcs and 28 centimes for
owe net tou by ftues canal measure?
ment, which Is a modification of
Danube measurement A dollar a ton
will secure ander the figures above a
gross annual Income from tbe Panama
canal of nearly $7.000.000. Tbe cost
of maintenance snd operation Is est!
nis ted to exceed $3.000.000.
The next question that arises Is as
to tbe maintenance, management and
general control of tbe canal after Its
completion. It should be premised
that It Is so essential part of our navy
establishment to have tbe coal, oli and
(Khar ship supplies, s drydock and
repair shops conveniently located with
reference to nsvsl vessels passing
through tbe caosL Now. if the govern?
ment for nsvsl purposes to '.o under?
take to furnish these conveniences to
the nsvy. and they are conveniences
eqaally required by commercial ves?
sels, there would seem to be strong
aaaaons why the government should
take over snd Include In Its tnaunge
essnt tbe furnishing not only to tbe
nsvy. but ti> t!ie publle. urydock and
repair shop fscillties and the sale of
coal, oil snd other ship supplies.
Tbe maintenance of a lock canal of
this enormous size In a sparsely pfipsj
la led country and In the tropics, where
the danger from disease to always
Beesent. requires s large and complete
and well trained organization with
fall police powers, exercising the ut
?Mat cere.
I csunot close tbls reference to the
eansl without suggesting ss a wise
amendment to the Interstate commerce
law s provision prohibiting Interstate
commceve railroads from owning or
controlling shine engaged In the trade
through the Pxnama canal. I believe
?acb a provision may be needed to
save to tbe people of the United States
the benefits of the competition ,,, trade
between the eastern and western sea?

Judicial Procedure.
One great crying I.| in the lulled
fttatea Is cheapening th. cost of lltlgl
tlon by simplifying Judicial procedure
and expedltim; final |udgu.t I nder
present conditions the poor man Is at
a Woeful Ills ol , oi.
test with s co-porattaa or ,i rieb <>,.
ponent. The necessity for the reform
exists both in United States courts
end in all state courts. In order to
britu: it about, however, it naturally
falls to the (reneral government by Us
example to furnish n model to all
stntes. A legislative commission np
pointed by Joint resolution of congress
to revise the procedure in the United
Stntes courts has as yet made no re
port.
1 am strongly convinced that the
best method of improving judicial pro
codure nt law is to empower the su
premo court to do it through the me
dium of the rules of the court, as in
equity. This is the way in which it
'aas been done In Kngland.
Relief of Supreme Court From Un?
necessary Appeals.
No man ought to have as a matter of
right a review of his case by the su?
preme court. He should be satisfied
by one hearing before a court of first
instance aud one review by a court of
appeals. The proper and chief useful
ness of the supreme court, and espe?
cially the supreme court of the United
States. Is in the cases which come be?
fore it so to expound the law and espe?
cially the funds month I law?the cou
stltution?as to furnish precedents for
the Inferior courts in future litigation
snd for the executive officers in the
construction of statutes and the per?
formance of their legal duties There
fore any provisions for reriew of cases
by the supreme court that cast upon
that court the duty of passing on ques?
tions of evidence and the construction
of particular forms of instruments, like
indictments or wills or contracts, de?
cisions not of general application or
importance, merely clog and burdeu
tho court and render more difficult Its
higher function, which mnkes It so im?
portant a part of the framework of
our government. The supreme court is
now carrying an unnecessary burden
of appeals of this kind, and I earnestly
urge that It be removed.
f Judioisl Salaries.
I further recommend to congress the
passage of the bill uow pending for
the Increase in the salaries of the fed?
eral Judges, oy which the chief Justice
of the supreme court shall receive $17,
600 and the associate Justices $17.000.
the c'rcult Judges constituting the cir?
cuit "ourt of appeals shall receive $10.
000 and the district Judges $0,000. The
positions they occupy ought to be filled
by men who have shown the greatest
ability in their professional work at
the bar, and it Is the poorest economy
possible for the government to pay
salaries so low fo: Judicial service as
isfct to be able to command the best
talent of the legal profession In every
part of the couutry.
Wiping Out of Postsl Deficit.
For many years there has been a
deficit In the operations of the post
office department which has been met
by appropriation from the treasury.
The appropriation estimated for last
year from the treasury over and above
the receipts of the department was
$17.500.000. 1 am glad to record the
fact that of that $17.500.000 estimated
for $11.500.000 were saved and return
eo to the treasury. It Is gratifying
to report that the reduction In the
deficit has been accomplished without
any curtailment of postal facilities.
Upon the recommendation of the
postmaster general I have included in
the classified service all assistant post?
masters, and 1 believe that this giving
a secure tenure to those who are the
roost Important subordinates of post !
masters will add much to the efficiency
of their offices and an economical ad
ministration.

the franking privilege is now being

It seems to me from the past history
that the government has been com
mltted to a policy ol encouraging the
limitation of the day's \N<?rk to eight

In view of the ke. n. widespread In

thoroughly unsatisfactory system of
employers' liability (tt subjoet the im
portanoo of which con gross has a I

the international congress on ludui

made t?? cover the necessary ex|ieuses
of organizing and carrying on the

Negro Exposition.
I also renew niv recommendation
that stops he taken looking to the hold
l?g of n ne*.:ro exposition in colohra
tion of tin- Hftleth unniversary of the
issuing bj Mr. Lincoln of the emancl
pation proclamation
Conservation.
Nothing can he more Important in
the matter of conservation than the
treatment of our forest lands. Speak
lag generally, the government has re
served of the existing forests about 7u
per cent of all the timherlands of the
government. Within these forests (in
eluding 2?5.(KK).000 acres in two forests
in Alaska? are 192.000.000 acres, of
which !68,000,000 acres are in the
United States proper and Include with?
in their boundaries, something like 22.
000,000 acres that belong to the states
or to private individuals. We have,
then, excluding Alaska forests, a total
of about 144.000.000 acres of forests
belonging to the government which
are being treated in accord with the
principles of scientific forestry.
The law now prohibits the reserva?
tion of any more forest lands in Ore?
gon. Washington. Idaho. Montana.
Colorado and Wyoming except by
net of congress. 1 am informed by
the department of agriculture that the
government owns other tracts of tim
berland In these states which should
be included in the forest reserves. 1
recommend to congress that the limi?
tation herein imposed be repealed. In
the present forest reserves there are
inuds which are not properly forest
land and which ought to be subject to
homestead entry.
Coal Lands.
The next subject, and one most Im?
portant for your consideration, Is the
disposition of the coal lands in the
United States and in Alaska. At the
beginning of this administration there
were classified coal lands in the Unit?
ed States amounting to 5.470.000 acres,
aud there were withdrawn from entry
for purposes of classification 17,807.000
acres. Since that time there have been
withdrawn by my order from entry
for classification 78,077,745 acres, mak?
ing a total withdrawal of 90,844.745
acres Meantime of the acres thus
withdrawn 10.001,8S9 have been classi?
fied tind found not to contain coal and
have been restored to agricultural en?
try and 4.720,001 acres have been clas?
sified as eonl lands, while 70,903.239
acres remain withdrawn from entry
and await classification. In addition
337.000 acres have been classified as
coal lands without prior withdrawal,
thus Increasing the classified coal lands
to 10.429.372 acres.
The question as to how great an
area ought to be included In n lease to
one Individual or corporation Is not
free from difficulty, but In view of the
fact that the government retains con?
trol as owner I think there ndght be
some liberality In the amount leased
and that 2.R00 acres would not be too
great a maximum. The leases should
only be granted after advertisement
and public competition
The secretary of the interior thinks
there art difficulties in the way of
leasing public coal lands. 1 entirely
approved his stating at length in his
report the objections in order that the
whole subject may be presented to
congress, but after a full consideration
I favor a leasing system and recom?
mend It.
The needed oil and gas law Is essen?
tially a leasing law. In their uatural
Occurrence Oil and gas cannot be
measured In terms of acres, like coal,
and It follows that exclusive title to
these products can normally be se?
cured only after they reach the sur?
face, oil should be disposed of as a
commodity In terms of barrels of
transportable product rather than In
acres of real estate
Water Power Rates.
The water power sites subject Is one
that calls for new legislation. It has
been thought that there was danger
of combination to obtain possession of
all the power sites and to unite them 1
under one control. Whatever the evl- !
deuce of this or lack of It. at present
we have had enough experience to
know that rotnbiuntlon would be prof- j
Itable, am' the control of a great num?
ber of pow<r sites would enable the
holders or owners to rais?> the price
of power a; will within certain sec?
tions, ami the temptation would
promptly gttmct Investors, and the
danger of monopoly and extortion
Would not bo a remote one
However this may i"'. it is the plain
duty of tin- government to see to it
that in the utilization and develop?
ment of nil this Immense amount of
Irater power conditions shall be Im?

FIRE NEAR HOCKKY BLUFF.
ltJirn, Stables, and Oottoa House of
Mr. V \. Spann Are Burned to
the Ground?Loos Esttsnated at $1,
500 wiille Insurance only Amount?
ed t<? MOO.
Mr. K. A. Spann, who lives in the
Rocky Bluff neighborhood, about six
miles from town suffered a loss of
about $1,500 when his barn caught
lire from some unknown cause Tues?
day night and learned to the ground,
together with his cotton bouse and
?tables which were connected witn
the barn.
Mr. Spann did not know how the.
fire originated, for the horses had
been i?-d only a few minutes before
and the lire started in the central part
of the lower Soor of his two story
j barn. He thinks that it wan caused,
j for that was the only way he could
account for it, by the negro boy who
was feeding the horses dropping some
matches from bis pocket while he
waa shucking the corn for the horses
and rats getting hold of them soon
alter he had left the barn. He had
just eaten his supper when he
smelled smoke and his wife discover?
ed the barn to bo on (ire when she
looked from the window.
Mr. Spann at once ran out to the
barn and opened the lot gates and
?tables and after a great deal of trou?
ble, during which he was knocked
against the fence and very nearly
killed by one of the frightened horses,
which he was attenmpting to lead
from the stable, be managed to save
i ail of his stock. His corn and hay,
i
however, which was in the barn was
all burned, except a small portion of
corn <>n which they succeeded in pour?
ing water and prevented from burn?
ing, although it was all badly scorch?
ed. His cotton house which was near
; his barn, also caught and he lost
three gales of cotton which he ha 1
ready to send to the gin the next morn
ing , besi b*s swhich he lost the seed
from eight bales of cotton stored in
the building. All of his harness was
burned. He managed to save all of
his vehicles, but his farm implements
were all burned.
One of Mr. Spann's horses was bad?
ly burned but he at once brought it
to town and had it doctored and he
hopes it will recover from the bu?ns,
Mr. Spann, in speaking of the fire,
said that the cost of .the building
?was about $500, but that they wer.
worth, with their contents, at least
$2,000. The insurance was only
$500. ,

Location Practically Determines the
Value of Land
An acre in the heart of the business section of Sumter recently brought $60,000.
An acre equally as good in other respects, but two miles out, will hardly bring
