German commercial travellers are
able TO sell more goods in South
America than those of any other coun-
try because they have a larger stock
of patience and understand the char
acter OF the people with whom they
deal. When an English or an Ameri
can drummer strikes town he goes
around among the retail dealers, greets
them cordially, pays a few compli-
ments, inquiries after their families and
mutual friends and discusses other sub
jects of similar mutual interest for n
few moments. Then he asks il they
want any goods i'm his line, and unless
they happen to be out of some staple
for which there is an active demand
they reply I'm the negative. He offers
10 show his samples and invites them
TO call upon him at the hotel or the
club Where he makes his headquarters.
Then he goes on 10 the next shop,
where the scene is repeated, and he
may take several limited orders, says
the Chicago Record
When "a uerman drummer comes to
town he wanders into "A retail eSab-
lishment in an Indifferent manner.
pokes over the goods, inquiries where
they got this and what they paid for
that and ii there are no customers to
be served, he offers the merchant a
cigar and sits down for a social chat
which usually ends with an invitation
10 lunch or dine at the club. where he
arranges an, attractive spread and pro-
vides a eopious supply of good wines,
which is returned by an invitation to
dine at the merchants house. Not "a
word is said about business at either
place. III IS merely friendly ex-
change of hospitality. which a perfect
knowledge OF the Spanish language en-
ables the German drummer TO make
the most OF. Not only one merchant.
but all the tradesmen whose business
IL profitable are cultivated in this way,
and they meet the diplomatic drum
mer in the presence of each other at
the club rooms and the residences OF
each other without the slightest re-
straint
Sooner or later the curiosity of the
merchant impels him TO ask the drum
mer's business, and is told that he is
selling a certain line OF goods which
are probably of no particular interest
to him. wbls stimulates curiosity in
stead OF satisfying it, and by his own
volition. without any urging or even an
invitation from the drummer, within "a
few days he is examining the samples
and giving large orders for goods.
Meantime the drummer maintains an
outward Indifference, but puts the mer-
chant under obligations TO him by So
cial attentions and appropriate presents
TO the members of his family. They
are friends and cronies rather than
salesman and customer. and when the
drummer leaves town every mSrchant
of importance Will accompany him to
the steamer and toast his health and
happiness and his early return with a
bottle of champagne.

the birth OF Abraham Lincoln. IL is
known as LlncolnS Day inlour list Of
formal and informal holidays. The
Grand Army OF the Republic who have
contributed greatly 10 the growing in
terest of its observance call IL Flag
Day. and among many people it is come
TO be quite as well known by that title
as by the name of the great American
whose. birthday was selected for es-
pecial honor. Here I'm Rhode Island,
as in other states where the day is
marked 10y. especial ceremonies, the
Grand Army veterans offer their SER
vices to schools or organizations desir-
ing 10 hold exercises. It will supply
members for speakers and in any way
that may be suggested contribute TO
the patriotic observance of the day.
IT is suggested that IL is not the pur|
pose 10 cOnfine the lessons Of the day
to the life and character or the times
OF the late President Lincoln, but the
entire field OF distinguished men and
events i'm our national. history are
proper subjects. The committee OF the
Rhode Island department appeal to all
citizens TO make this Flag Day one OF
special interest in patriotic fervor,
marking as il does the close OF GEN.

MUST the Nicaragua canal. or the
Panama canal. or, whatever Isthmian
canal we build be more exclusively
ours than the Suez canal is England p"
the Journal demands to know. That is
the whole question" il adds.
And, indeed, that is the whole ques-
tion.
The answer is that. whatever the
Suez canal is. the Nicaragua canal
built with Yankee money. must belong
exclusively TO the Yankee nation.
AS matter OF fact while there is a
pretty fiction that the Suez canal is
more exclusively England's. very few
things are done In the management Of
that waterway that do not suit Eng
land and if you will study the geog-
raphy in the immediate vicinity OF the
Suez canal It will be pretty clear that
i'm a military emergency, England
would control il absolutely. She would
be able to say just what ships could go
in and go out OF 1t and, without really
infringing on the canal itself. not a
ship could enter or dome out of il with
out her consent II il ever became nee
essary to assert herself as the supreme
boss of the destinies of the waterway
Other nations helped England to pay
for the Suez canal. No other nation IS
asked 10 chip in for the Nicaragua
canal

AN excellent sample Of the feebleness
of the representations which are be-
ing brought 10 the support of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is found in the edi-
sorial columns OF the Providence Jour
nal. Perhaps this was TO have been ex-
pected. When the Journal gets down off
the ton OF the fence II may usually be
depended upon to drop on the wrong
side
But i'm this case the feebleness which
characterizes the Journals defense OF
the treaty is no more remarkable than
is noted from other sources. There is
so little to be said in behalf Of the pro-
posed treaty that there is bound to be
lack OF variety in the argument and
tameness i'm the repetition to the
point OF staleness. When you consider,
too. that what may be called the
strongest points in the defense, which
only means that there are some points

ulatIons and management OF she ca
nal"
Thank you for no hing
Who IS II that gives the United
states the right TO tax their citizens
and build a canal2
Why England. OF course
But who says we muss asE England
or .Afghanistan or the buried worlds
for the privilege OF bulldog the Mica
ragua canal?
why England any more than Ger
many. or Russia. or Patagonia
Is England the dispenser OF rights for
the universe? Did We ask England's
permission when we went to war with
Spain. a job of as great international
interest as the Nicaragua canal?
OF course this notion that the
treaty gives us something that we
wouldn't have unless Secretary Hay
and Ambassador Pauncefote put their
heads together is all nonsense. And II
Is nothing but dust TO confuse the clear
vision OF the average Yankee who fails
10 comprehend why his government
should not so ahead and build the ca
nal without foollng with asking any
body or with treaties The article
plainly gives the right 10 build. But
where is the article. compact, or au-
thority of whatever kind, TO show us
that we are lacking in that right and
have TO make an agreement with some
body 10 acquire It? There is nothing
but the old Clayton Bulwer treaty. OF
course, ana that has been dead in the
view OF our state department and the
American people for twenty years. X
IL isn't dead the American people have
been badly duped by the statesmen
whose shoes Secretary Hay is filling.

BUT the management OF the Suez
canal is not in question. In this
hemisphere we want, neither I'm fiction
nor fact. to go into partnership in a
matter of such immense Importance as
the isthmian canal We do not pro-
pose to invest millions TO build the
waterway for the development OF our
commerce in time of peace and the in
crease OF our naval and military
strength i'm time Of war. and then enter
into an agreement by which an enemys
ships in a war in which the United
States are engaged shall have the
same right OF way i'm the canal as our
own. We are proposing TO build that
canal for ourselves first, last and all
the time. other nations are welcome
10 use it--and pay toll TO help out "A
reasonable business income from the
Investment other nations are well
come 10 use il for their naval opera
tions In time OF war, providing it is
not a case OF war upon the United
States and only with that provision.
There will be no trouble about preserv-
ing the neutrality of the canal. No
nation would undertake 10 break
through such neutrality If 1t were de-
Tended by the United States any more
than Il would II Great Britain were
Joined in preserving IL. But there may
come time when the United States
are at war and then. surely. we won't
want any neutrality preserved over
the canal built by American money and
maintained primarily for American in
terests-but open TO facilitate the
operations OF an enemy OF the Amer-
can nation. Neutrality" and equal
terms would he a precious thing in
deed i'm such event.

THE motion that the opposition Of
the American people 10 the proposed
treaty Is based on the CLAUSE which
prohibits the building of fortincatiQns
along the line and at the entrances 10
the waterway is wholly false. 1t isn't
question of fortifications. That is
only a detail. But defenders of the
Hay -Peuncefote proposition set up
that straw notion and then proceed TO
knock ii down as II ii were of some ac-
count TO the opponents OF ratification.
The objection TO the proposed com
pact OF course lies against the whole
business OF making treaty on such "A
matter.
The position taken is that no treaty
IS at all necessary; that but for the
ghost OF the Clayton Bulwer treaty the
American nation would never have
thought OF s6ch thing as going to
England. on any other nation TO ask
agreement. much less consent. to build
a canal and help in preserving its neu-
trality after it was constructed

reason for touching the subject at all.

4 When, instead OF such pro sorma
proceeding. an entirely new treaty was
presented the country was surprised
and shocked.
Nothing of the sort had been con
templated except by the inside NOV
ers in the matter The American people
were surely not taken into the conf
dence OF the state department while
the negotiations were making and were
given an entirely erroneous idea OF what
the department proposed to do.

plaintiffs front steps during a storm
and thereby soaking up large guam

titled. But the court held that the
rain was any mans rain, no matter
where 1T fell. 1t follows, therefore,
that the umbrella is any mans umbrcl-
la. In all ages rain and umbrellas
have gone together and there is no rea-
son why they should be separated by
law. An umbrella may under certain
