THURSDAY, NOV. 30, 1905. The Isthmian Canal. The Government has under taken a work of great difficulty. The construction of the canal will require much time And money, but when completed it will equal the greatest engineer ing feats of the world. Although the board of consult ing engineers has decided in favor of a sea-level canal, it is yet an open question whether the Panama Canal shall be a sea- level, or a lock water way. The decision of the board of consult ing engineers is not final. The decision of the board was reached hv a vote of 8 to 5 in favor of the sea-level project Genera Davis and Messrs. JBurr ana Pearsons joining with the five foreign engineers against a lock canal. The report of the board of engineers probably will not be submitted to President Roosevelt for five or six weeks. As to the character of the project, the re port will not be unanimous. In fact, two reports, one by the ! majority and one b y the minor ity, will be submitted. These reports the President will lay be fore the canal commission and Chief Engineer Steavens for consideration. Mr." Steavens will come to the United States from the ishmus to take up the subject with the commission and with the President. It can be stated with absolute assurance of accuracy that while due weight will be given to the decision of the majority of. the board of engineers, the authori ties who have the final determin ation to reach will approach the subject with care and delibera tion and perfectly open minds. The President has discussed the question with some of his callers and he has indicated that the advocates of the sea-level project will have to prove their contention clearly. The cost, the time and the risk of the two projects will be gone over care fully. Carolina Spartan. MYRA NEWS ITEMS Allen-Wilson Church Wedding Huggins School Opened People Busy Gathering Crops.

State Department Officials Astounded By His Capacity For 'Work. The way in which Secretary Root has entered upon his official duties and his conceptions of them, have been a revelation to the old-timers in the state de partment. He has gone to work with a thoroughness that is with out, precedent in his office. In stead of taking the words of subordinates or taking anything for granted he has insisted on informing himself of -the entire history from A to Z of everything that is likely to come before him in any way whatever. Every afternoon as early as possible the secretary cuts short the ousiness of the day, denies himself to visitors, orders that no cards be sent to him, leaves his office, ' and locks himself in the diplomatic room, where he busies himself in the record of cases. A force of messengers and clerks is kept busy bringing documents to him. Meanwhile swarms of visitors, including some of high degree, try vainly to induce the messeng ers to take their cards in. Here he stays until 6 or 7 o'clock every evening, working hard. By the time he has finish ed these preliminary studies at the rate he is going he will know more about all matters of current diplomacy and all that have any chance of becoming current than any man, from secretary to clerk, who has ever stepped foot in the building. . That stand-by of all excutive departments the veteran clerk, who "has his finger ends," is to find his usefullness gone, because the secretary will know more than he does. Among the mat ters that the secretary is taking up are our relations with Vene zuela, our trade with Germony, our relations with the Moroccan question. The labor of acquainting him self in a few weeks with the en tire machiney and all the prob lems of the state department and of American and foreign diplom acy and statemanship is great, but n o -one familiar with Mr. Root's tremendous capacity for work doubts that it will take him less time than it would take aU most anyone else. His manner of doing it has dismayed some of j his subordinates, ' d e l igh t ed others and astonished all. New York Times.v Pain may go by the name o f rheumatism, neuralgia, lumbago, pleury.

STARVATION AND STEALING. An Ethical Question About . Miking The Punishment To Fit The .Crimei , Another ethical question comes from Chicago on which ' there is room ior lively sociological - dis cussion. A merchant nam e d Neumeister, summoned for duty on the grand jury,; found occas ion to declare that he would not vote to indict a man who had stolen food to keep himself or his family from starvation . The judge dismissed him with a re buke of such .views as a 'first step towards anarchy. ' ' But Dr. Hirsch, the eminent Jewish 'edu cator, sustains Mr. Neumeister on ethical grounds. ' The principle that theft must be en variably punished at least so far as the jury is concerned, leaving the question of clemency to the court, is indisputable in the abstract. But t o put its practice on the impregnable basis courts should take a great care that the punishment is invariably in the case of great as well as small thefts. So long as the powerful can absorb millions by devious means and go unpunish- eu, the rigid punishment oi a poor wretch who steals food for his starving children is a longer step toward? anarchy than Mr. Neumeister's heresy. Still, considering the duty to which he was summoned, that attitude was extreme. A grand juror, considering that he is sworn only to determine whether there is enough proof to justify a trial, might well recognize that it is the function of the trial it self to determine whether the circumstances call for mercy The duty of the trial juror in such a case would be much more puz zling. Theoretically the correct verdict would be one of convic tion, with a recommendation to the extreme mercy of the court. But the juror who refuses to agree with such a verdict, unless he is sure the clemency will be extended n will be more to the liking of men with warm blood in their veins than the giled per son who will permit the unfortu nate offender to go to jail with out an effort in his behalf. . The case also calls for the re marks that Mr. Neumeister's heresy is not the most dangerous one. When we have had in this country a demonstration that a thief caught with the money on him and without the plea of star vation in his family, cannot in the presence of . certain myster ious indicial indignation may probably b e directed to the anarchy of such things.
