NATIONAL HONOR AT STAKE
Whlle tbe formal opening of tlie
Panama cannl Is nt for next Janu
ary, President. Wilson la reported to
be confident Unit ships will be going
through the rannl by faM. l,nng be
foro then il Is expected Conpress
Will pass the bill repealing the act
attempting American phipa from toll.
No other course Is open lo this gov
ernment if our tiutlonal Integrity and
frond faith are to be preferred.
The free tolls act Was nquostlon
abl.v a violation of the Uay-raunce-lote
treaty with Oreit Ilrltalu. As
suredly the t nltcd States cannot af
ford to assume the position of violat
ing Its own solemn treaty obliga
tions for the aake of a petty pocun-
owners of American Teasels. There.
ta not even a question of aaltonal ad
vantage at stake; the only qventlon
! whether we shall, aa a nation,
break our solemn word for the prof
It of a few men.
The story of our canal treaty obli
gations with England begins more
than half a century bac. The Do
minion of Canada, stretching like the
United States from ocean to ocean,
was the keynote of Great Drltaln's
Interest. In 1850 tbe Olayton-Bul-wer
treaty provided for Joint con
aUuctlon of a canal wan negotiated
.and ratified. In that Instrument ap
peared a clause pledging each gov-
erntnent not to "obtain or maintain
for Itself any exclusive control" ov
er auch a canal.
The Clayton-Bulwer treaty stood
Jfor 50 years. The time came when
we wanted a canal, and wanted to
build aud control it ourHOlveti. The
Clayton-Rulwer treaty stood In the
way. By Its terms we were pledged
forever. There was nothing to be
done, in honor, but to negotiate a
new treaty dissolving the old one.
Great Britain waa willing to cancel
the agreement on what seemed to be
reasonable terms. The Hay-Paunc-fote
treaty or 1901 waa accordingly
negotiated and ratified, superseding
the old Instrument. By the terms
of that treaty Great Britain relin
quished its rights to partnership in
the canal and the l' tilted States on
Its part pledged that "the canal shall
be free and open to the vessels of
commerce and of war ef all nations
on terms of entire
equality."
No specious reasoning can contro
vert the plain terms of thla Boleiun
covenant.. No argument of expedi
ency ran hold against the demands
of national honor. Tbe United
States must and will fulfill the obll
gallons of its treaty. The Panama
anal will be used by the ships of all
nations on term of entire equality.
Secretary Lane of the Interior De
partment, during the past few weeks
has recommended to the president
numerous orders of restoration and
withdrawal affecting the public
lands. The Secretary has also op
ned to entry under the Enlarged

WILLING WORKEItH
Ity Walt Mason
There are many Willing .Workers
down among the unemployed, and
their lives aro spent In trouble and
In hardship unalloyed. And they
cry, "It's rank injustice that we men
of willing hands must be classed
with bums and hobos, with th- non
productive bands. Here we stand
and ask for labor, beg for work n1
beg In rain, and there's surely some
thing rotten with the nation'. heart
or brain. We are little Willing
Workers, and no labors would we
shirk, but you make us down-and-outers,
for you will not give us
work." I have hired some Willing
Workers, able - bodied men and
strong, and they surely worked like
blazes but they always did things
wrong. Oh, no odds what job they
tackled, they would do It wapper
Jawed, whether they were herding
chickens or Just spading up the sod;
whether they were fixing fences or
repairing buegysheda, they were
willing with their muscles, but they
never used their heads. And I al
ways bad to follow, follow sadly In
their track, doinp all their labors ov-J
er, with a green pain In my back.i
Thla Is why the Willing Workers find
this world so sad a Joint; this Is why
the stern employers say to them.
Skidoo! Aroint!"

RICHES
II) Walt Mumoii
The more cold coin a fellow col
lars, the hungrier he gets for dol
lars. When he Is young and short
of troubles, he aays: "Some fifty
thousand roubles will be a fortune
quite imposing; when I have that I
won't go nosing around in search of
extra kroners, like some old greedy
money loaners. By that time I'll be
old and wheezy, so I'll sit down and
take It easy." But when he has that
bunch of guilders, he says. "Oh,
chee! the fortune builders would
laugh to scorn my paltry savings
methinks I bear their jocund rav
ings! So I'll go forth and nail u mil
lion I will, so help me. Colonel Lil
lian!" Then through the clanging
marts be wanders, and all the sunny
years he squanders, and travels at a
pace that's killing to get the kopeck
and the shilling. And when he's old
and frail and battered, his heart
worn out, his system shattered, from
toiling up Gain's crooked trackage,
he looks upon his handsome pack-1
age and sighs: "it is a measly bun
dle, and my old bones I'll have to
trundle until my meagre roll is pad
ded with other millions to it added."
Then Death comes up, the Doom that
wrecks us, and soaks him in the sol
ar plexus, and In his shroud morti
cians wind him, nnd all his scads
ire left behind him.

THAT OLD COST
Ily Walt Mason j
When paying bills I used to ay:
"Our statesmen do not earn their
pay! The cost of living is so high, it
fairly makes your uncle cry! If con
gressmen and senators would carry
on relentless wars against the causes
which combine to get our goats, both
yours and mine, the poor might have
a chance' to thrive, and bless their
stars that they're alive!" And peo
ple all agree dwith me, and Bald they
reaPy couldn't see why statesmen do
not earn a crown by cutting robber
prices down. But since I've thought
the matter o'er, at statesmen I am
not so sore. I rather think I am to
blame that life is an expensive
shame. I blow my money every day
as though I'd loads to throw away;
I buy the most expensive things,
from butcher's meats to napkin
rings; I seldom stop to count the
cost, and so the bills produce a frost.
And that's the way we're all Inclin
ed; a rare thing is the frugal mind; '
each year we burn more thining!
scads, than in their lifetime spent i
our dads.
