Several days ago the press dis- ' 'patches bore the news that the lowest proposal for completing the Panama Canal was that of William J. Oliver, ' of Knoxvlllc, Tenn.. and Anson M. X ' Banff, of New York city, who offered to do the work for .75 per cent, of the estimated cost, or $9,450,000 if the estimate proves accurate. Mr. -;' OMrer was born In Indiana, but hie Ufa since boyhood has been spent In the South and he la known to every V ' , body in this section as a mighty railroad builder. Though he has i - barely passed his fortieth birthday, , few men have played so great or use ful a part in Southern Industrial de- p veiopment. ., Mr. Oliver was among the few ron- tractors Invited to bid on the canal project; for he nan gathered around him Just thai combination of talent j which Chairman Hhonts m on record j " i, as having saM he desired, awl which - he thought could be found only In a syndicate of contractors. ca h one an i expert In a given line. Much Is the scope of his work that railroads, ,r. dams. tunnels, viaducts, huge ware- k houses of re-enforced concrete, and what not, all look alike to him If the price Is right. One of lil pres ent contracts, tin- lock and darn on the Tennessee river below ('liatltt mfogu, is In charge of men who have demonstrated their ability to handle v , tho masonr y work on the Tuna ma I'unul, since none of the locks to be ", built there are of gp-al'-r magnitude than what he now has well under way tJ oh the Tennessee. H has stated his willingness to comply with all reason- v able requirements which thf canal commission may make, nd put up "y the bond reiuirei. President Roose velt, Hecretary Tafl anil "'balrrnan Khonts have permitted it to be known that they re mu h runnicd by the ;V I apparently usurel ouiiome of the '.j. bidding.

' Senator Graham, of Orange, tells the Raleigh correspondent of The Observer that he Is confident tho Leg Ukture will fl railroad fares at ap. proximately I 1-2 cenU for . first class and 1 cents for second-class and that one fare at a flat rate of S 1-2 cents would not be satisfactory to tho public,' '' Thff i ngurea ' suggested 7 for first nd socond-class farea are about lighttha cushould ot, iulcols be., deeper than that Indicated, td a second-class rate of 2 1-4 cent Would not be out of the way, wlttt an Inter changfablo mileage book at 3 cent" Wo arc sure that MaJ. Graham In correct In his opinion that the aboli tion of thr- sccond-clasa car and a flat rate ofVl-2 cents would not bo satisfactory to the public. If there arc any who favor this It la doubt less because they have not reflected deeply upon It. All are familiar with the fact that on gaht day and holi day occaHlons, and not on these oc casions alone, by any means, drurvken, turbulent men, agitate and pollute tho atmosphere of the second-class car, to which they resort by preference, with profanity and obscenity, and that violence is not uncommon. To think of women and children as wit nesses of such Bcenes, and enforced hearers of the language to which they would be subjected under a one fare system, shocks the senses. Fur their sake, as well as that of men to whom unseemly language and be havior are offensive, we slnwrely hope the legislature will not lend its coun tenance to the flat rate. Wc have no Idea what ihe railroads think i thlM Idea; that is a minor conldciS? tlon; but there are several phases of the railroad question which suggest leg islation while to inaugurate the flat rate would be to precipitate condi tions which would be almowt calami tous for the next two years when the legislature would, In the light of the experience suffered, surely compel the restoration of the second-class car. Am matters which need legislation, apart from the reduction of furcn upon which subject legislation Is as sumed Intra-Stato freight ratcR bhould bo reduced, or the power to reduce them lodged with the corpora tion commission; the powers of the commission materially enlarged, to the end that It may correct manifest abuses; and a penalty laid for failure to properly bulletin trains, as to which matter the orders of the. com mission are ojrenly and flagrantly tle fled. bK.YVIOK MMMONtt I"OR bECOND TERM. The liemocratlc caucus of tho Leg islature lust night, as was expected of ll and us wa right for It to have done, nominated Hon. Kurnlfold M. Simmons for a second term In the Senuto of tho United Htates and he will bo re-elected to-day. This will be In conformity with the practically unanimous will of ths Democratic party of the Hlute. Mr. Simmons has borne himself splendidly In the Ken ale, reflecting credit upon North Car olina. Those who In time pat held of lilm the opinion that he was mere ly h smart, shifty politician, have had occasion to change their minds. The ft sic realizes now that he Is a man of aubstantlal ability, of flno Judg ment and of broad, statesman-like qualities. Ho has grown greatly In the last six years, as nearly all men grow after entering the great body of which he has heiNirne a conspicuous member, and ll Is u reasonable ex pectation that th" enlargement of his powers anil Influence In the six years corning will he steadily progressive, since he will be only 5 3 years old on the .Mitli of the present month - an iiije si ulmli nil men hnve not yet n ti hed their mental maturity nnd after which their wisdom Is enhanced nnd ripened by Inrger experience. We regret very much the financial misfortune whit h have ovei taken our friend the Udells, of t'oncoid -('apt. J M de, now seventy-four years old. and his oii. Mr W ll Udell. Senator from M ei k lenbiirg and 1'nlinrrus. They me the best of men and have done nun h for their com munity and for North 'urollna. W illie their reverses are to be deplor ed ll Is a pleasure to know that Uielr n.'.iets .ire double their liabilities and thit their mills.

It has been pointed out thai If the government secures Indictments and ' convictions In all the cases which It now has against the oil trust, and col lects maximum fines, aft amoint al most equal to the estimated cost of digging th Panama Canal will be realised.
