UNDIVIDED CONTROL AT PANAMA

UNDIVIDED CONTROL AT PANAMA
The trade of the world, the
peace of nations and the security
of the continent will all profit by
the new canal treaty with the
Republic of Panama signed yes
terday by Secretary Hay and M
Bunau-Varilla.
Three-quarters of a century
have passed since the Congress
of Panama proposed by Monroe,
Adams and Clay attested the pro-
found interest of the United
States in the isthmus and our de-
termination to exert a controll-
ing influence there. Just short of
sixty years ago the treaty of l846
began what was substantially a
protectorate over the isthmus.
When the right to maintain order
is delegated, as it was by that
treaty, sovereignty ceases to be
complete. Through the past CEN
tury every attempt at divided
control or an international part
nershipin the isthmus has broken
down.
The Clayton-B -Bulwer treaty was
such an attempt with England,
and England at length stepped
aside. The French Panama Ca
nal Company sunk 5000, 900, 900
in the attempt of private and
commercial corporation to con-
struct this waterway and share
the responsibilities of its man.
agement. This failed because
the instincts Of capital were clear
that any scheme which left this |
country to one side in the solu-
ton of this great problem was
certain to collapse. Lastly, Col
ombia has sought to try another
experiment in divided control,
first by treaty which refused to
the United States local sover-
eighty over the isthmus, and
next by delay which threat
ened the entire enterprise.
This long chapter of fruitless
experiments. stretching over
half a century, the treaty signed
yesterday ends, and ends abso-
lutely. Under it the United
States takes a perpetual lease o
over the territory needed. The S
terminal cities pass under it's i
control. The divided courts on :
which Colombia insisted are c
swept away. At length, after
ong waiting, the United States, te
when this treaty is ratified, will
'e in unchallenged and untram- .e
neled control of the isthmus and "
he canal will be built. gu
The result satisfies the Ameri- la
an people and the world. The &C. R,
ion OF Europe establishes this. A Fl
reat step forward has been TAX
n in the history of civilization. m,
wholesome lesson has beeni
cad to the varions bands of rob- aa, ph
ers, politicians and bandit gen-l ]
rails who masquerade at one cap n Nj

BAKE AS NEEDED.

a.. UDOR.

The habit of doing a large amount
# baking has become a habit of the
past, unless there Is large family
n que but for a family of from
three to five it is not good policy to
make immense patches of cookies,
three or four gallons of fried cakes.
pies and numberless cakes. It used
20 be very customary to have a spe-
,ial day in the week, and try to get
enough baking done in one day to
last week, but by the end of the
week the food baked in this manner
not perfectly wholesome, nor is it
Is palatable as when fresh. The bet
Ter method would be to bake one kind
and allow that to be eaten while
fresh, and then make something else,
and so ON, keeping change, and each
variety will be fresh and new
Where several kinds are kept on tho
table day after day and meal after
meal, as is customary in some fami-
lies, one actually forms an aversion
to it from constantly keeping it all
in sight, says the American Tribune.
Our mothers way, while many Of
them can be improved upon, some
Of them have grown obsolete. 1t
would be very dull age if time did
not change and improve. How quick
ly cake may be stirred up and
baked in our modern ovens when one
is needed; the same with pie. Pas
try, above all other baked stuffs,
should not stand and soak. After the
fresh crispness is gone the pie is new
er SO good. The custom of serving
three or four kinds of cake at one
time is not now in vogue. Every few
years customs change; one fad is
dropped and another is taken up.
This seems tickle >in one sense, but
in another it is all right; too much
monotony is not advisable when mat
ters of this kind are taken into con-
sideration.
| On the farm where cream is abun-
dant a dessert is very easily gotten
up. In the fruit season there are
dozens of ways whereby gelatines are
! nicely combined with fruit and cream
and sugar. Custards combined with
fruits are also delicious, and it takes
but short time to prepare desserts
Of this kind. So with the various
modes of wholesome and quickly con
cocted dishes, it is unnecessary tc
bake pies and other articles in great
quantities to soften and waste.
