The Panama Revolution.
Republican statesmen who pride
themselves on their acument. but
whose shrewdness is generally used In
hiding their real purpose from their
deluded followers, are evidently deter
mined to obtain their rake-off in the
Panama swindle at any cost Just at
the right moment some one furnishes
money and arms to the patriots ut the
isthmus and Colombia is knocked out
OF the deal for the canal. a new re-
public starts UP in a night and the
diplomats VIII have another and more
compacent crowd to d1cker with. The
FRENCH Will get their S4O,00O,OOO for
their interest In the canal and the pa
triots OF the new republic will get
handsomely repaid for their energetic
revolution If the Panama canal is ever
built. What Colombia will do under
the circumstances remains to be seen,
her aynrice has been her ruin.
But how does the United States
stand? There are distinct charges
made from reputed sources, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his Cabinet have
been mixed up in aiding this secession
of State from a sister republic and
that the prompt aid of the naval forces
of the United States turned the scale

the lawlsss deed,

the lawless deed.
There is one sufficing answer to all
the insufferable efforts of the admins
tration to bring its naked buccaneers
ing under the shelter of international
law and diplomatic usage:
Would Theodore Roosevelt have
dared to act toward Great Britain or
Germany as he has done toward Co
lombia?
1t is because Colombia is too feeble
to fight that the courage to dcspoil her
has been found We're she able to
fight us, or to find allies to give her
strength she herself lacks. the whole
world would hold lier justified In de-
clarihg war against us for what MI.
Roosevelt has done at Panama.
Colombia must submit to Roosevelt,
unless the American Congress shall
come Id the rescue of American honor,
for the same reason that Panama sub
mitted to Henry Morgan. pirate, who
ioverpowered and looted the city.
/ What excuse can be offered for this
astounding crime?
None that any honest man Will offer
or accept
"Butrit will give us the canalv' cry
the Presidents supporters.
The canal can be had without pay
ing for 1t the price of national charac-
ter and giving us before mankind the
rank of robber state.
The canal can be had without i'm
planting in the mind of every Latin
American republic the conviction that
we are not its friend, but the enemy
above all others to be dreadcd-witll-
out giving it solid ground for the belief
that the Monroe doctrines real means
ing is that we intend to keep European
plunderefs away only that we our
selves may more safely steal, and that
nothing Central and South America
have will be secure when circum-
stances arise that may cause us to
want 1t.
In order to get an interoceanic canal
1t has been, and now is, only neces-
sary that President Roosevelt should
obey the law. The Spooner act COM
mands that. upon failure to get from
Colombia the concession for the Pana-
ma Canal. he shall turn to Nicaragua
and Costa Ricl, which are ready to
deal with us honorably and quickly.
Instead of obeying the law President
Roosevelt has chosen to commit n
deed of lawlessness, in the seizure of
the Isthmus of Panama, the like of
which has never stained the history Of
this republic.
If President Roosevelt shall be sus-
tanned in this Panama crime by his
party, then his party would sustain
him in any freebootins foray against
the lands and sovereignty of our weak
er neighbors that might be agreeable
to the wishes and interests of such
another. aggregation of greedy specula-
tors as we see collected in and around

BOYCOITED BY

MYSTIC MILLING co. OF SIOUX
CITY UNDER THE BAN.
Proceedings to Be Started
Against the Common Carriers
Certain Demurrage Charges, Which
the Millers Hold to Be Unjust,
Have Caused All the Trouble-Oth-
er Houses Have Suffered, Too.
Special to The Journal,


Sioux City, Iowa. Dec. "a boycott has
been declared on the Mystic Milling COM
pany by all the railroads Of Sioux City
and the manager, Fl. j. Hutton, yesterday
caused legal notice to be served Of his
intention to bring mandamus proceedings
to force the roads to receive and handle
the company's business.
The order to boycott the mill was given
by A. G. Jones. local manager Of the
Western Car Service association. The or
der was issued because Hutton had re-
fused to pay some demurrage which. it
is said, became due over a year ago.
Hutton, in defense, claims the demur-
:Nge charge was unjust. He says the roads
VII allow cars to accumulate. after he
has earnestly requested that they be set
out for him, until there are more than
can possibly be unloaded within the pre-
scribed time.
Other houses here have had the same
trouble and Hutton purposes to contest In
the courts the arbitrary right of the roads
to charge demurrage, which cannot be
avoided because of their own negligence
One OF the company's mills here has closed
and the other must shut down tomorrow
unless the boycott Is relieved. ...
