Unfortunately, Secretary Cortelyou, who is a man of few words, has not taken the public into his confidence as to whether the money to be expended in canal con struction for the coming year will be paid outright and Anally from the treasury surplus or shall be used as a temporary financial expedient, to be returned to the government from the proceeds of future sales of Panama bonds. Mr. Cortelyou's only state ment on that point Is that he does not believe "the bonded indebtedness of the country Bhould be increased at this time for the purpose of paying the cost of current work on the Panama canal." The entire theory of bonded Indebt edness, national, state or municipal, is that the cost of Improvements for which bonds are issued should be shared by the future participants in the benefits of such improvements. On that theory, the cost of the construc tion of the Panama canal should bo covered by bond Issues, payable at a uiure ume. iiiib ymn, uuhctdi, uao not been iouowea in me construction of the Panama waterway. In the last four years, the government has paid more than $100,000,000 direct from Its current revenues for Panama ex penditures, while bonds have been Is sued for only $30,000,000, so that up to date, the present has been taxed for $3 for every $1 that has been assessed against the future. The secretary of the treasury has been forced, however, to talve some action to relieve the treasury surplus of Its unwleldiness. The surplus for the fiscal yearwhich will end with next Saturday, will be about $80,000,000, and the treasury will have, on July 1, a cash balance' of about $240,000,000. All estimates Indicate another surplus for the fiscal year ending In June, 1908, and Secretary Cortelyou natur ally feels It Incumbent upon him to limit this vast accumulation of funds In the treasury vaults. The question Is one which must command the at tention of congress, which 1b the proper authority to determine what part of the Panama canal construc tion shall be paid from current reve nues and what part paid by those who will draw . benefit dividends from the operation of the great lnteroceanlc waterway. It Is gratify ing, of course, and a reflex of the na tion's prosperity tp have" Bu'ch a vast surplus In the national cash box, but It would seem to be only fair that this should be used, for the most part, in project like Improvement of inland waterways,' extension of rural delivery, construction of public buildings that promise a more immediate return, In stead of calling upon the taxpayer of the day to make such liberal gifts to the future. .VB. VAHDKRL1PS WA Rflr'IJCG. Frank A. Vanderllp, former assist ant secretary of the treasury and now. active head of one of the largest banks In New York city, U out with a warn ing against socialistic tendencies and unfair legislation affocting the busi ness Interests of the country. In an address before the Virginia State Bankers' association at Norfolk, Mr, Vanderllp declared that unless fair and reasonable laws are enacted deal ing with railways the wave of prosper ity will be checked and Industrial de pression and disaster may follow. Af ter declaring that the ' public mind had been Inflamed to the danger point by false charges against railway man agers, and its confidence shaken with out Just cause, Mr. Vanderllp said: If we are to have leglalatlon baaed upon political advantage. If we are to adopt socialistic theories which will amount to the confiscation of property rights. If we are to have reprlaal for past wrongs, no matter how real. If action la the on thing wanted first, and the consideration of the Intelligence and fairness of such action Is I to Com afterward, then I 'believe It la j possible that the whole business structure j b facing a danger, the proportion of wnlch wln "u"d h h; l figures aa nave been the totals that bar marked th. extent of our nrosnerltv. Like many other financiers who have been viewing the situation through Wall street glasses, Mr. Van derllp has mistaken the mind and temper of the people and their atti tude toward the railways. Just at this time the people of the -country are In unusually good humor. There Is no antl-rallroad sentiment., of the kind Mr. Vanderllp Imagines. Some time ago, prior to the passage of the fed eral rate law, the people learned that the railway managers who had shown an all-encompassing genius In the de velopment and management of the railroads, were making the mistake of thinking that they owned not only the roads but the government as well, and that the patrons and stockholders had no courern In them. Then the people set about to correct the erro neous Impression- of the men who were paying more attention to the railroad stocks on Wall street than they were to rolling stock on the railroads. Con gress and th legislatures of many states worked on a co-operative basis In accomplishing this rVform and the result promises to be satisfactory to the people. Under the enforcement of the new rate bill and some of the measures adopted by the slate legisla tures, the abuses of which shippers and patrons complained most have been abolished or are la a fair way to be remedied. The railroads are bear ing up under the change remarkably well. They are doing more business than ever before and the weekly re ports of both gross and net earnings show increases nnequaled In the his tory of railway transportation In America. The confidence of the In vestors Is returning and railway se curities are getting their share of fa vorable attention In the money mar kets. And the people, whose alleged socialistic tendencies are worrying Mr. Vanderllp, are not worrying, but pre paring for renewed accomplishments In tho development of the nation's re sources. Mr. Vanderllp ought to take a trip through the west and keep bis eyes open. A SKEDLK9S LCXVRT. An advertisement by the postmaster of the House of Representatives at Washington throws some light upon the value of "perquisites" that attach to the office of a member of congress. The advertisement In question calls for proposals "for carrying all malls and mailable matter of the House of Rep resentatives to and from the city post office, and to and from the respective residences of the memberB of the House of Representatives, and for such other services connected with the House malls as may be required by the postmaster of the House of Repre sentatives." This service is an expensive one, In a way, and Is wholly unwarranted. It la a congressional perquisite. It Is of no financial value to the congressmen but a decided sop to his vanity to have his mall delivered by a special mes senger Instead of by the carrier who serves the plain people. There are 886 memberB of the House and 90 Senators. Their residences, even if they are In boarding houses, are marked several times a day by visits of the handsomely painted wagons of the "Post Office of the House of Rep resentatives" and the members' bills, letters and social invitations are de livered by a special representative of the United Statea government. The poetal service in the city of Washington is especially good. The city postofflce Is particularly well equipped and furnished by a liberal, congress with every facility for prompt and frequent delivery of mail to all residents of the district. The post offices at the capltol are branches of the city office and there is no good reason why the mall of members should not be handled in the regular way, through the regular channels. The special service la a needless lux ury. 1RCVMTEST1KO THE PRIMARY IAVT The first muddle under the new Ne braska direct primary law has been precipitated down at Lincoln, where members of the local bar association, In order to circumvent the law, have assumed to themselves the function of making nominations for all Judicial offices in advance of the primary elec tion. . Of course, any association or group of men has a perfect right to agree among themselves upon preferred candidates for office and to proclaim the choice far and wide with a view to influencing other people.' But the bar has' no more indefeasible right to name candidates" for Judges than have the butchers, the bakers or the candle stick makers. The pretense that the lawyers, because they represent their clients in litigation, are alone qualified fo select Judges for the people has about as much foundation In fact as would a claim that the hoboes and vagrants should be allowed to select the police Judge because they, of all members of the community, are most directly concerned. The value of a bar endorsement of a candidate for Judge, however. Is of minor concern. In the long run the candidate must stand on hla own qualifications and deserts. A bar endorsement might help a good candidate, but It Is not likely to save a weak or a corrupt one. On the other Bide, however, the Ju dicial ticket pulled off by the bar In Lincoln approaches the danger line. The only excuse for Independent ac tion of the bar Is the professed desire to secure a nonpartisan Judiciary and its action la determined by republicans, democrats and prohibitionists partlcl cating alike. In this case all the nominations were conceded to the re- nuhllrana although If the selection Of publicans, aitnougn me selection oi Judges were to be divorced ironi pon tics In this fashion there Is no good reason why political lines should be drawn at all. Presumably, the candidates en dorsed by democratic lawyers are to file their names for nomination In re- publican primaries. If the selections are really nonpartisan they should be filed also for nomination In the demo- iucu " 1W,. .u cratlc primaries. The possibility then arises of a republican being accepted by the democrats but rejected by his own party, and being required to run. i . n os iliimnrritli nominee in opposition to the republican nominee. It this is the way It works out and such an outcome in one or more ln atancea la not Improbable bar en- dorsemonts will not command a very high premium thereafter.

No political Intrigue cal- I tlie otfemiaut corporation culated to defeat these purposes of the law is likely to hit the popular chord. It was once the .'.'universal custom" in this state for the sheriff to pocket all the money he could get his hands on and keen with the connivance of the county board. But the people will no longer stand for that custom. They insist that the sheriff be content with the liberal allowance to which the law entitles him. It will not be long before the 2-cent fare laws enacted by Iowa and Illinois will also be operative and then a through trip east will be open to Ne braskans at 2 cents a mile by purchas ing the ticket In sections unless ac commodating federal Judges come to the rescue of the poor railroads. One express company has Just dl vlded a $24,000,000 surplus and now the Pullman company Is preparing to distribute an extra $25,000,000 dlvl dend to its stockholders. That Is a total of $49,000,000 which the rail roads have lost by failure to operate their own sleeping cars and express companies. An army captain who has been as sessed $760 for trying to smuggle a lot of silks, laces and lingerie into the country says the stuff belonged to the major of his regiment. A major will ing to wear that kind of togs should have the privilege of getting them free of duty. The present Douglas county court house has done service now for twenty-five years. In building -a new court house we must figure even more carefully on the future and put up a structure that will serve its purpose for not less than fifty years. Ambassador Bryce told the Okla homans the other day that Oklahoma "has the agricultural beauty of France, the rural beauty of England and all beneath the azure sky of Italy." It Is easy to understand Mr. Bryce's success as a diplomat. It makes no difference how many candidates there may be for the dem ocratic presidential nomination, Col onel Watterson stands ready to fur-1 nlsh each of them with a separate and distinctive platform.

To demonstrate what little foundation exists for pr-SBtmlatlc assertion emanating from the captains of special Intpresta liu parted by state and federal power, tho ' New York correspondent of the Philadel phia Press reviews present conditions and the conclusions they warrant. He says: If the corn harvest of the fall of 1W7 I approximately what the record In bushel was last year, then It may bo assumed that In all the I'nlted States aa.many bushels of corn will be harvested as the aggregate In dollars of our International commen-o for ths year ending June 30. Nobody csn tell at present how many bushels of corn will be harvested next fall. The presump tion la that the total will aggregate about S,ai0,tK,fluft. From Washington come Infor mation today telling of the aggrerat In ternational commerce In dollars for twelve months, beginning with June 1 last year of the atupendoua volume which e?,IOO,0,X),Ooo represent. Less than five years ago some of the transportation managers of the 1'nlied States ventured the prediction at an an nual gathering of these men that before the year 1910 our International commerce would In dollars be as much aa H.OOO, OOe.OiiO. But that waa thought an exaggerated estimate. It waa supplemented by another which ventured th prediction that by the year 1910 It would be dlsooverel that out exports of manufactured pro ducks were at least 40 per cPnt of the en tire exports In money values. Some who are fond of delving Into statistics sought the public prints, especially the commer cial publication papers, ao that thev might demonstrate the aophlstry and Inaccurate reasoning that were In these predictions. At the same time, there came from Ku rope woeful prognastlcatlona. asserting 'that In the United States speculation waa rampant, men were money mad and dollar frentled, that credit waa bloated and thnt would Involve ultimately collapse. A day or two ago one of the vice presidents of the First National bunk of thla city said for publication, In an Interview cabled from London, that he had learned In the month in which he had been In England that there prevailed an amaslng lack of Infor mation respecting tho natural resources of the United Statea, the development of them, and that there also prevailed a belief that whatever thesa resources ar or have been, they have been practically exhausted by wasteful and unbusinesslike methods universally characteristic of th American buBlneaa life. It can be assumed aa perfectly proved that whatever faults of corporate manage ment, whatever high flying In finance and In railroad security manipulation and In insurance management thore may have been, yet on th whole then evils are In considerable In comparison with the gen eral business healthfulneaa of the United States. Thar 1 no banker In this city who has had long experience, nor any great merchant of the class of which John Claflln Is a type, who does not know and who does not Bay, when asked, with much reasonable pride that It would have been Impossible to Increase our foreign com merce In the past four years as It had been Increased, unless American business life. Industrial and agricultural activity were on the whole sound, and unless the people aa a whole were sharing fairly well the prosperity. When It Is borne In mind that as re cently as five years ago out total foreign commerce aggregated $2,200,000,000, whereas In the present fiscal year It will increase In that commerce of more than Jl.OOO.OOO.Oon In five years, then th proof la perfect of reasonable, wise and economic Industrial, commercial anoV agricultural activity. This year we shall create. In all prob ability, an International trade balance of $460,000,l00. If th ships which carried our foreign trade sailed under the American flag, the greater part of that balance would be swiftly converted Into negotiable credit. Probably as much aa 1100,000,000 is to be deducted from the balance on account of travelers' letters of credit. The steamships now crossing the ocean that have crossed since the 1st of May, and that ar to sail from New York through tho month of July and early Auguat, ar carrying, and have carried, and will carry up to the limit of passengers. It is estimated that since Friday of last week at least 300 applicants for first cabin passage on the steamers sailing thla week were refused, because every cabin passago had been taken. Borne went to Boston to take the steamers there and a few to Mon treal and Quebec. Every one of these cabin passengers carried a letter of credit. Tho amounts taken out this year surpass the amount of letters of credit written In any preceding year. The estimate la that at least $100,000,000 wjll be required to pay these letters of credit, and that would be a charge against International trade bal ance. No one knows what th aggregate of freight and insurance charges Is. But tho sum Is enormous, and probably will eat heavily Into our International trade bal ance. But In any event there Is certain to be a balance in our favor of many millions, o heavy that by and by It may be poaalble for us. If It Is deemed expedient, to bring back some of the gold that la being ex ported now. PERSONAL XOTKS. Says Hero Hobson: "A Japanese army corps Is In Hawaii In the guise of worklng mrn." Wow! John D.

New York letter In Philadelphia Press. Whether tho call made Thursday by secretary of the treasury upon the na tional banks for tfo.ono.ooo of government funds now on deposit, the money to be paid Into the treasury by July 10, will tend to check the export of gold, remains to be learned. When France began, a month ago, to call upon the I'nlted States through London, for gold, the disposition was some what strong to persuade the secretary of the treasury to draw upon the national banks for a considerable portion of the government funds. For It wss reasoned that If deposits were thus reduced, the rate of Interest would be affected. The actuaries figured that a trifling In crease in the prevailing rate of Interest In New York would prevent the export of gold, since there would be no profit In the transaction. All of the $S,onn,000 that have been exported since the movement began and with which the Bank of France has been strengthening Its resources must have been carried across the sea with a profit so small as to make-the transactions Inexpedient were It not that the Bank of France Is especially desirous of strength ening its position. How narrow th mar gin of profit was is proved by the fact that the French bankers were compelled to allow Interest upon the gold during the time, that it Is In transit from New York to Pari. It bo happened, however, that while sev eral of the larger national bank deposi tories of funds In thla city would have been pleased had. the secretary of the treasury made a call In mid-May for gov ernment funds, on the other hand, a ma jority of the banks elsewhere In the coun try that ar carrying government deposits, earnestly opposed th withdrawal of . the funds. That opposition was Interpreted here as proving that tb.e banks elsewhere In the United States are meeting with strenuous demand for loans and are exert ing themselves so that they may carry, without unduly straining their resources, their customers. Being Interpreted In another way, this simply means that the demand for money capital all over the United States not for speculative, but for business purposes, continues to be very great. In this city the bankers would havo been glad to keep the gold, since that would serve to strengthen the legal reserve and to make reasonable maintenance of loans possible. At this time banks here and throughout the country are taking preliminary ateps easily to meet the demands that are to be made In the late summer and through out the fall so that the cro&s can be brought to market. But especially at .this time and In this city another and a more Immediate preparation Is under way, for on the first of July what la undoubtedly to be a record distribution of dividends and Interest representing various earnings, Industrial and railroad, for the past throe of six montliB 1b to ba made. It Is not pos sible to give an accurate estimate of the amount that Is, to state within a million iollara what this aggregate disbursement is to be. ,-But It is known that It will ap proximate about $191,000,000. It la In sympathy 'with other record making statistics that will tell of what waa done In the fiscal year ending on June 80. The government itself has some high records to report. The aggregate business done by the national banks In the fiscal year now closing and the total of deposits In them and of loan, made by them are written In figure that have never been equaled.
