Great Britain. AS to the principle OF
toric policy of this government. and
no statesman has ever suggested that
such a canal, if built, should be in any
way for the exclusive or special bene-
fit of this country, but on the contrary
that it should belong to the worlds
commerce.
The opponents to the treaty objected
to it on two counts, one. that it sug-
gested a further international agree
ment that should take nthe nations of
Europe and possible involve us in a
situation that might sometime prove
awkward, and the other, that it pro-
hibited permanent Notifications. Both
of these objections have now been dis
posed of by amendment, to the posi-
tive advantage of the treaty. The best
authorities agree that we do not now
want to fortify the canal. if we build
it. Admiral Dewey. Captain Mahan,
Senator Morgan, the late Senator Da-
Wis, and hundreds of other competent
authorities have expressed the opin-
ion that to fortify the canal would sim
ply result in making it battle ground
and a main point of attack, while in
case of war with England or any other
nation our fleets would be amply suf-
ficient to protect the entrances to the
canal. they would naturally be concen-
trated there, and no enemy would dare
to risk entrance upon the artificial wa
terway if it were under our police con-
troll, as provided in the treaty. The
canal would always be neutral in time
of war, and of course If we were at
war with England the treaty could not
bind us and we could do as We pleased
with the canal, SO far as England
might be concerned.
1t must be remembered also that the
treaty was not the
only barrier to the construction and
ownership of the canal by this coun-
try. Nicaragua is an Independent and
sovereign state. She has by treaty
given England the same guarantees as
to equal rights that she has given to
the United States. The United States
by treaty with Nicaragua has agreed
not to exercise any exclusive rights
over the canal and guarantees neu-
trality.
Nothing will be gained by going in
to the late presidential campaign, but
it may be mentioned casually that it
was the republican Arthur administra-
ton that first proposed the construc-
canal by this government. and it was
the democrat Cleveland who stopped
all negotiations with regard to the pro-
ject. The republicans have been con-
sistent in their endeavor to construct
a canal over the best available route
under the conditions most favorable
to this country, and the party now in
power may be trusted to do what is
best
There are those who insist that Eng
land will not accept the Hay-Paunce-
tote treaty as amended. However, the |
Whine it disapproved
Of the changes, is confident that Eng
land will be willing to ratify the treaty |
as it now stands. If she does not. |
we will be no worse off than we were
before; but the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
which is expressly superseded by this |
much more liberal one. will be again |
IN force, and will act as a barrier to |
he Nicaragua canal project

Kansas City judge believes that
ishment for boy offenders against the
municipal laws, is a sound thrashing
For petty theft on the part of a boy,
he DEGREES ten or twenty lashes to be
applied in his presence by the parent
or guardian of the child. The juvenile
offender has always been a problem to
the makers and executors of the law,
for the reason that if he be given the
ordinary Jail sentence, he is put right
into the company of hardened crimi-
nails who contaminate and harden him
to the thought of crime. Thus his
punishment instead of retarding
crime is apt to assure his addition to
the gangs Of law breakers where he be-
comes menace and burden to the
state. There are many theories against
corporal punishment. but Solomon's
wisdom is not entirely outgrown even
| in this age, and it seemsa wise addi-
ton to the punishments of our courts.
| 1t is punishment for all boys, for the
judge watches to see that the parent
or guardian conscientiously carries
out the sentence. For a sensitive boy
it is a shame and disgrace and will
probably serve to make him loath to
risk it a second time. Parents and
guardians usually welcome it as an al
tentative to the Jail sentence. There
are objections to a sound thrashing,
but the punishment is old fashioned
warranted by the wisdom of many
with its foul associations. it is distinct
and prompt, but does not brand the
youngster as does a Jail term. So. in
the solution of the punishment of the
Juvenile offender, it has it's place.
