The President

President Is SHOWN by the way ne
holds up on his present swing
around the circle. " His meutal
vitality shows out as clearly as his
physical endurance. He talks
every day, every speech is a new
one aud fits the place he talks in.
Many politicians have made very
strenuous campaigns. Mr.. Bryan
first presidential campaign was a
tremendous thing but his speeches
every day were along the same
general lines They were but
eight notes, and the variations that
could be made upon them. But
President Roosevelt has new
octave for each new occasion. The
themes he selects he exhausts and
the next day he takes on new in
spiration. Then his own per.
sonalty shines out everywhere and
when revealed. it is American
through and through. 1t Is easy
to see why, when the war came
on; he could not be kept out and
why with the first advance towards
the front, he was in full evidence.
Then he is at home everywhere
under the flag. Where the learned
congregaie, he can be as learned.as
the best II the m; when the festive
cowboy and the bronco buster are
Ia the majority, he swells that ma
jority by one. He knows all about
ships, all the mathematics behind
the organization, the marching
and fighting of armies. With him
are no 'unwelcome States. He
takes them al to his heart every
day, and continually worries his
re tless brain in seeking 10 put in
force policies for the betterment OF
all the people. He works and
talks all day; he rises the next
morning fresh as daisy and his
morning salutations are as clear
and joyous as the lark S songs.
He has not pleasant voice or
graceful gestures, but he gives of
every moment an impression of
force that that is tameless. He
has less policy than any of his
predecessors. save Mr.. Lincoln,
and his ways are not at all such as
were Mr.. LiDcoln's. He was one.
to picture the right and the wrong
way, and then to held out his hand
to lend his countrymen up the
right. Mr.. Roosevelt is wont 10
declare his belief and what he
holds TO be the right and 10 stop
there, trusting that his country.
men will adopt that course in their
own good time. He loves The
greetings OF hi fellow men. but
can get along without them, and
be happy for days at time with
only horse and gun Tor COM
panions. He seems especially to
depend upon two things and to
believe they are enough capital for
any .healty man They are pluck
and hard work. We know no
public man like him, unless it be
the Emperor of Germany. We
Tancy that they were off In the
woods together, their only quarrel
would be, which should chop the /
wood and br ng the water, and
which should do the cooking and

RELIC Of BARBARISm
Minneapolis Judge Scores the Pres.
emit Method Of Dealing With
DRINKS.


Judge Dickinson, the police Judge,
Is doing some thinking about the prac-
tice of finiug "drunks" $40. He seems
to be coming to the conclusion that
the only effect OF the fine is to punish
the wife and children. Suppose q
workman who ia earning SIS week
happens to get drunk and is arrested.
It may be the first and last time in his
life-what good does it do to fine him
$40? It does nothing but impose q
hardship on his wife and babies, who
might have had the benefit of that so
If the court had not taken it. And the
case is no better for the fining system,
even if the offender be often guilty.
Successive fines do not cure drunken
cess, but they do diminish the family
income.
What a farce this whole fining sys-
tenn is, anyway! 1t is good deal like
legal bride. The court finds an &C.
cused person guilty and awards to-
him the prescribed punishment, but
RENTS it in consideration OF money
payment into the public treasury. A
fine is not punishment. It does not
tall on all offenders alike, as i'm
prisonment does. To rich man q
fine is usually of no consequence, yet
to the poor man who may be even less
of an offender against the law, it is ,
terrible hardship If it Furnishes him
for anything it Furnishes him for being
Door. If he can pay it, it is serious
drain On his resources, and Injuries
innocent persons. If he cannot pay
it, he is forced to 60 to prison, not so
much because he has violated the law
as because he is poor. IL it not q
INDUSTRIOUS injustice that If two men
are convicted in court of the same
offense one goes free and the other
goes to the workhouse because one
happens to be more FORUM ale in the
possession of money than the other:
After 1000 years of Christianity We
are still struggling along under old
pagan notions Of justice, the old no.
lions that everything can be paid for
Among the German barbarians, mur-
der could be atoned for by payments
to the relatives Of the victim. Among
the American Indians, so many pooies
made right the wrong. Now, in some
cases, we still give the offender q
chance to right his wrong by making
q payment, not to the injured person,
If there be one, but to the state. The
state is always injured by crime, but
can Its Injury be repaired by money?

THE PANAMA CANAL TREATY

The canal treaty with the new Pan
anna republic has been signed by Sec.
rotary of State Hay and M. Bunau-
Varilla, the Panama representative.
The Associated Press describes the
provisions Of the treaty in this way:
Under the treaty the United States
guarantees and agrees to maintain
the independence OF Panama It ia
said that this clause was inserted in
order to set at rest all questions a. to
the recognition of Panama as an in
dependent nation by other govern
meuts.
The United States undertakes to con.
struct modern systems of sewers and
water works for the cities of Panama
and Colon, and has the right to col.
lect tolls for the period of fifty years,
IN order to pay the cost of construc-
tion with interest. At the end of fittv
years the sewers and waterworks be.
come the property Of Panama and
Colon. The first five articles of the
treaty are to this effect:
Article 1.-The United States omar
antees and agrees to maintain the in.
dependence of the republic of Panama.
Article 1.-The republic of Panama
cedes to the United States five miles
on each side of the canal and three
marine leagues at each terminal and
all lands necessary to the maintenance
OF the canal and its auxiliaries.
Article 3.-The republic OF Panama
grants to the United States the right
TO exer else the same power and author
1ty over such lands "as if it were SOW.
ereign" and to the exclusion of such
power by Panama.
Article 4.-The republic OF Panama
grants to the United States the USE ot
all the rivers, streams and waters OF
navigation, or so far as is necessary
70 the construction of the canal ana
us auxlllaries, including purposes CT
sanitation.
Article 5.-The republic of Panama
grants to the United States in per.
petnity monopoly of any system OF
communication across it's territory b,
canal Or by railroad.
The remaining twenty one articles
OF the treaty deal for the most part
with questions of administration. For
example, article 6 declares free for ali
time the ports at either entrance o,
the canal, including Panama and
Colon, and provides that no dues OF
any kind shall be imposed by the re-
public of Pan ANA on any vessel using
the canal or belonging to or employed
by the United States.
1t provides also that the ports of
Panama and Colon and others lead
Ing to the canal shall be free to the
commerce of the world and that NJ
duties shall be imposed except on
merchandise destined to be introduced
for consumption into the republic OF
Panama aid on vessels which touch
at Colon and Panama and do no,
cross the canal. The Panama canal.
however, is allowed under this article
to establish at these ports such Gus
tom houses and guards as may be
necessary to collect duties on importa-
tions destined for other parts OF the
republic. To the United States is
given the right to make use of the
