PANAMA CANAL TITLE


There is apparently no obstacle in the
way of the new Panama canal COM
pany giving the United States a perfect
title to it's property in Colombia, pro-
viding the consent of the government of
that country is obtained. There has
been no intimation rs to the
result of the investigation made
In Paris by Attorney General Knox,
but according 10 the general counsel
Of the canal company, Mr.. Crom-
well of New York. there is no question
OF the capacity Of the company to convey
a good title to the United States. An
equally trustworthy opinion TO this effect
has been given by the former French
premier, Waldeck-Rousseau.
The worst feature Of the matter is
the unsettled state of the republic of
Colombia, which is struggling with a
revolution that has been going on for
several years and seems to be as vigor-
Gus as at any time since its inception.
1t is reasonably apprehended that our
government will have a good deal of
trouble in arranging a satisfactory
treaty with Colombia to cover the con-
~struction of the canal. There is prac-
tcally no government at all in that re-
public at present Such government as
there is has been unable for some
months past to make any progress to-
ward subduing the revolutionists, If in
deed the latter have not been gaining
ground, as events on the Isthmus of
Panama have indicated. Under these
circumstances there appears to be some
doubt as to whether We can get a valid
concession from a stable government.
conveying the rights and authority
necessary to protect us in the construc-
ton OF the canal.
OF course II conditions in Colombia
do not soon change, so that the govern
ment there will be In a position to enter
into treaty arrangements with a good
promise Of carrying them out, President
Roosevelt may turp his attention to
Nicaragua, as he is authorized to do. II

LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT IN TIE WEST

LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT IN THE WEST,
The recent successful meeting Of the
Nebraska Library association affords an
instructive reflex of the steady growth
and development of the public library In
the west. While Nebraska towns have,
in foul or five instances, been recipients
of library building donations from An
drew Carnegie and other ~benefactors,
most of them have been left to their own
resources in providing library facilities
for themselves. While much is yet to be
lone in this direction, noticeable ad-
vGnces have already been made.
The most gratifying feature of the sit
uation is the growing disposition to re-
gard the public library as a distinctive
attraction for every live community.
The boast was made at this meeting by
President Hosmer Of the American Ii
brary association that Massachusetts,
stands pre-eminent as the home of public
libraries, inasmuch as every n of its
incorporated cities and towns is now sup
piled with an institution for the housing
and distribution of books. While 1t will
doubtless be many years before other
states can compare with Massachusetts
in this respect, it is safe to say that Ne
braska and it's adjoining neighbors will
not be found failing up the procession.
The principle at the foundation of Mr..
Carnegie's gifts, incorporated into the
conditions of his bequest, is that the
community should simply be helped to
help themselves-that no public library
is fully appreciated unless its patrons
are compelled to assist in its support.
This has been also the groundwork Of
library legislation in Nebraska, a field
In which this state has been one Of the
pioneers, and if Il Nebraska city or town
able to support such an institution pre-
fers to go without its public library 1t
has only itself to blame
With the awakening to the benefits
that accrue we may feel sure that the
public library interests in the west will
continue to experience healthful, IL not
rapid, expansion.
