New American Territory.

Representatives of the new Panama

been drawn up with this country. 1t
is understood their action binds Pana-
ma. without any reference Of the
treaty to any legislative body which
Panama has now or may have in the
future when 1t gets settled down to do
ing business. The confirmation of the
treaty by our own Senate will doubt
less follow In due course of time. By
this trcaty:F as was pointed out the
other day, the United States gets alb
solute and perpetual control of a strip
of land 10 miles wide across the 18TH
mus. which will be as much a part Of
United States territory, to all intents
and purposes, as an equal area in
Maine or California. The two cities
which are included in this grant
Panama at one end and Colon at the
other end where substantial begin
nings were made on the canal by the
French. will be allowed full govern
ment of local affairs, and they will be
given a prompt and thorough cleaning
up, such as was given Cuban cities. to
the great Improvement of their sani-
tary conditions. Panama is a city of
$4,000 people. and is one of the Oldest
in the New World dating from 1919,
only q years after the first voyage OF
Columbus.
Although the isthmus as a whole is
called an unhealthy country. there is
no reason why 1t should remain so, no
more than why Cuba should always
remain in the unhealthy condition
that characterized it when America
assumed control Of the island. SAM

tary science is neither understood nor
applied in the isthmus, and although
there is plenty Of good water from the
mountain streams. no village or city
of that section has water supply or
sewerage system. In purifying the
cities which will come under our con :
troll, the government will go far to-
wards making Panama more healthy
for those Americans whose CONNER
cial interests or duties in government
service call them to that region. When
the isthmus is made clean and healthy,
as there is no reason to doubt it will
be, it's people will have greater rea-
sons to be thankful for the bloodless
revolution which made them free from
Colombia, than they dreamed of when
they inaugurated it. In this respect,
as in all others. the 10 miles strip
across the isthmus, which is to to be-
come American territory, must be 4
model for all the countries of Central
and South America.

The Newlands Resolution.

1t Is not probable that Senator New
lands, Of Nevada, expected that any,
thing woulu result from his proposal
for tn. annexation of Cuba. Whether
he intr oduced it for the purpose OF en-
barrassing the administration by COM
plicating the Cuban reciprocity debate.
or whether, he did it to make party
capital for the 1904 campaign, cannot
be known. Perhaps he was looking for
personal notoriety, being a new mem
Der OF the upper branch, but little
known to the country at large. But
whatever his object he has accomplished
no great amount of mischief, and
the prompt and emphatic rebuke and
dissent of such men as Senator Hale OF
Maine, and other leaders Of the Senate,
have prevented his resolutions from
receiving even q few votes at the pres
ent session. 1t is not likely to be
heard from again in the near future.
The time may come, and indeed it is
not unlikely that it will come, when the
annexation of Cuba will be live SUBJ
ject which can be discussed with pro-
priety. At present this country can do
no more. and desires to do no more,
than make the country a free one, and
keep it's pledges made to the island
when it was freed from the oppression
of Spanish rule. The world has been
shown that this country was acting in
good faith when it promised to make
Cuba free and independent, and the
world was surprised at such altruistic
and humanitarian action on the part OF
the great power, because it's like had
never before been known in the history
of the world. If Cuba ever becomes u
part of the Union, the first step for an
nexation will doubtless come from
Cuban people themselves.
At present Cuba is getting along very
nicely as an Independent republic. The
United States government prepared the
way for it and gave it every oppor-
tunity to show that it was worthy of its
Independence. 1t had obstacles to
overcome and difficulties to meet. but
it Is going along hravely and seems
well established as an Independent
nation. 1t Is true that the relation
which Cuba occupies towards the Uni
@ c,,I ,t<st, ie,G xynI hH
constitution of the island republic. is a
species of wardship. This country
stands in the position of a guardian,
guaranteeing protection from any for
eign enemy, and relieving Cuba Of any
need of maintaining an army or navy.
For that exemption from one of the
greatest responsibilities which rests
upon most independent nations, Cuba
has merely ceded a couple of coaling
stations, which are not in any degree
an equivalent. AS an Independent
country, Cuba gets her main revenue
from her custom receipts and if she
were a part Of the Union. this would be
cut off and her people would have to
bear a heavier burden of direct tax
alton and this Is now the case. Thus
as long as things go well. intelligent
Cubans have reason to be pretty we'll
satisfied with the existing state of their
island. and while feeling gratitude to-
wards this country. and enjoying the
safety of it's protection and oversight.
they are not clamOrOus for closer
political relations.

miles on the famous Maysville Ridge
road a total of about $4,000 barrels of
potatoes have been raised this season
by eleven farmers. The list as given
to the Star-Herald and substantially
correct as the yield and acreage is as
follows: H. E. Hutchinson, 24OO barrels
on 20 acres; A. E. Irving, 1900 barrels
on 20 acres; Walter Christie, $500
barrels on 80 acres; S. {. Greenlaw
$500 barrels on 35 acres; Frank Hig-
gins about 5000 on 81 acres; Frank
Smith, about 1900 barrels on Is acres;
Charles Rolfe, $500 barrels on rs acres;
Chas. Wilkins, 200 barrels on Is acres;
{. N. Brundage, 1000 barrels on 16
acres; c. Hayford and son 34OO barrals
on 30 acres. Chas. Hussey $3.50 bar
rels on 81 acres. This means an ag-
gregate cash value of about $4,000
and average cash returns to each of
these eleven farmers of over $4,000
from their potato crops alone, saying
nothing of their hay, grain, and other
crops. If there is another equal farm
ing area that equals this record we
