ONLY OUR PLAN GOES
II Bogota Does Not Like tho Canal
Treaty She Can Let It
Alone.
THAT Is THE WASHINGTON STAND
Also What the Colombian Govern
ment Has Been Onicially Told
by Minister Beaupre.

Washington, Sept S.-The state de-
partment has received routine mes
sage from Beaupre, the United States
minister at Bogota, acknowledging the
receipt Of Secretary Hays cablegram
Of Aug. 20, stating that the Wash
ington government would enter into
no engagement which would hamper
tie presidents freedom of action un-
Ger the law. This was all the cable
grain stated, although it has been the
basis for speculative reports about
Beaupres ideas of the Bogota situa-
ton. The state departments atti-
tnde is one of dignified patience.
Must He Our Plans or None.
No indication of its course of action
In the event that the Colombian con-
gress rejects or amends the treaty will
be forthcoming until the time for he
exchange of ratifications expires, Sept.
%. 1t is known at the state depart
ment that the Colombian congress al
ready is regretting its hasty action in
rejecting the treaty, but the state de-
partment suggest no remedy for the
mistake. Once and for all the state
department has announced that the
treaty as approved by the Washington
government was ratified by the United
States senate. 1t is up to the Bogota
government to ratify that identical
treaty If Colombia desires an isthmian
canal.
Not Involved In Amy Fiiibustering.
The state department regards all the
reports as to the connection Of this
government or even its interest in the
unrest on the isthmus as too trivial for
consideration. DIR. Herran, the CO.
lombian charge, Indignantly scouts the
idea that the United States would lend
itself the encouragement Of this Tn
rest.

News Notes.

Brazil, Ind, Sept. 9.-Mrs. NJ. W.
Nees, a trained nurse, and a widow, is
the victim Of the anonymous letter
writer, who for nearly a year has
caused her to live in constant fear.
Mrs. Nees Is one Of the most respected
women in the city, and can conceive
Of no enemy that she has who would
assail her In this manner. Twice 4
week regularly for the last year she
has received an anonymous letter, al
always containing warnings or threats
against her life and safety.
Unseen Hands Throw q Bomb.
One night a few months ago, for
the first time since the beginning Of
the letter writing, she ventured on her
front porch, when a crude bomb was
thrown at her by unseen hands, and
in the explosion that followed Mrs.
Nees was badly burned about the face
and hands. while she was almost killed
by the shock and the fright. 1t was
then that she placed the affair in the
hands of the police, who have fol-
lowed every clew, but without any re.
suits. :
Thinks Her Tormentor Woman.
The threatening letters continued to
arrive with the old regularity, and the
strain began to tell on Mrs. Nees'
health. She now believes she has DIS
covered her tormentor-a woman
whom she never harmed in her life,
she says, but who conceived a violent
dislike for her. She refuses to divulge
any names, but has employed attor-
neys and will prosecute for damages.

Now that the Americans have their

ed action of their minister in Con-
stantinople and their naval demoDstra-

Denver, Sept. S.-The Democratic

it be in an individual or a corpora

time unless it is demonstrated that the
civil authorities are unable to enforce
law and order.

ment in his condition. much less pro-
lection against great corporation?
''Some may say the workingmen lose
their individuality when they join a
union of labor. In truth the working
man has lost his individuality just as
soon as he enters one Of our great mod
ern industrial plants. The old idea,
even among the business men, that
competition is the life of industry is
no longer held as an economical tenet;
It is no longer believed and declared
by men who know the trerd of events
in the development Of industry. They
realize that competition is today the
death Of the trader"
President Gompers turned his attenL
ton to ID. NJ. Parry, president Of the
National Manufacturers association
He said that Parry had constituted
himself the savior of society and civil
ization. Said he in closing: A strike
may bring about strife and discord, but
as soon as it is done better feelings
are engendered and mutual respect is
brought about. / don't think l would
care to have a strike in Mr.. Parry's
factory, but I don't believe it would
be an unmixed evil, for he might learn
the lesson that Mr.. Baer has learned
that there is something to arbitrate
to discuss, to concede.
From what can learn the wages
paid by Mr.. Parry are less than any
fair establishment in the same line
of business in the whole country. Or
ganized labor has no feeling against
Mr.. Parry. 1t has no designs against
his life, his children or the safety OF
his property. He is as safe from la.
Dor as is President Roosevelt"
He then added that he had never
as yet challenged Parry to joint de
bate, ''but 1 say now 1 will challenge
Mr.. Parry to a debate upon the labor
question and the labor movement" be-
fore any body satisfactory to Parry.

Syracuse. n. T., Sept. S.-PresfdeIit
Roosevelt told a vast throng at the
opening of the state fair that the
strength of the nation rested in large
part on woman. 1.-The woman who as
hOmemaker or as wife and mother has
uncomplainingly," he declared, lis to
be honored; the woman who has borne,
and who has reared as they should be
reared, family of children, has in
the most empahtic manner deserved
well OF the republic. Her burden has
been heavy, and she has been able to
bear it worthily only by the possession
Of resolutions of good sense, of con-
science and of unselfishness.
Her Children Shall Call Her Blessed.
But if she has borne 1t well, then to
her shall come the supreme blessing
for in the words of the oldest and
greatest of books, Her children shall
rise up and call her blessed And
among the benefactors of the land her
place must be with those who have
done the best and the hardest work,
whether as lawgivers or as soldiers,
whether in public or in private life.
This is not a soft and easy creed to
preach. 1t is a creed willingly learned
only by men and women who, togeth-
CT with the softer virtues, possess also
the stronger; who can do and dare and
die at need, but who while life lasts
will never finch from their allotted
task"
Mau wish Work Needs No Sympathy,
With reference to labor the presi-
dent said: mo man needs sympathy
because he has to work, because he
has burden to carry. Far and away
the best prize that life offers is the
chance to work hard at work worth
doing. Men sincerely inter
ested In the due protection of prop
erty, and men sincerely interested in
seeing that the just rights Of labor are
guaranteed, should alike remember not

something About Mob Violence.
"There Is 20 worse enemy of the
wage worker than the man who con-
dones mob violence in any shape, or
who breaches class hatred; and surely
the slightest acquaintance with our in
dustrial history should teach even the
most short-sighted that the times Of
mott suffering for our people as q
whole, the times when business is
stagiant and capital suffers from
shrinkage and gets no return from its
investments, are exactly the times Of
hardship, and want, and grim disas-
ter, among the poor"

SURPRISE BIZ PRESIDENT sHAFFER
He Appears Unexpectedly and Seems to

Poughkeepsie, n. ", Sept. S.-Theo-
dore ]. Shaffer, president OF the Anal
gamated Association, who mas been
missing from his home in Pittsburg,
surprised the labor unions of this city,
by appearing at the Labor day cele-
bratiOn, and making a brief speech;
then he disappeared again. He was
evidently ILL.,
He had been announced as the ora
tor of the day, but owing to the pub
lished accounts of his disappearance
Herman Robinson, of New York, sec
retary of the New York Central Lab---
Union, was invited to take his place.
Just before Robinson was introduced
Shaffer arrived in a cab and made his
way to the platform, not recognized by
the crowd. He looked pale and
showed signs of exhaustion.
After Robinson's address, President
Shaffer was introduced. In a husky
voice he said: THE thing l would
most gladly do is to keep still and say
nothing. Two years ago 1 made a
mistake trying to make $4,000 people
hear me, and sar esult of such ef-
forts am in reduced physical con-
dition. Nine months ago made three
speeches in one day. and 1 will not
again allow people to use me up In
that way"
That was all the reference he made
to himself and he then proceeded with
evident difficulty to make a brief
speech. When asked to maize a state
ment he said that he was anxious to
make one, and arranged with the re-
porters to meet them at the Nelson
House at p. m. He was then driven
away in company with John Bradley.

found that he had not been at the
Nelson House at all, and thorough
search Of the city failed to reveal any
trace of either Shaffer or Bradley.

A dispatch from London says of the
trouble at Beirut: "A high Turkish
Official pointed out that the Christians
were the aggressors. but he said it
would not have been even surprising
had the Mussulmans precipdtated the
row, for throughout Turkey indigna-

cial added: The Christians at Beirut
have been greatly encouraged by the
appearance Of the American squadron,

not to pay a friendly call, but to en-
force Demands
ut is understood here that Turkey
Is anxious to induce the United States
to withdraw the American war ships
from Turkish waters, believing that
such action would discourage the
Christians, who hope for American In
tervention, and the porte is now ex-
pected to make concessions in compli-
