The Panama Secession.

1t is announced from Panama that
the independence of the isthmus has
been proclaimed and that the an
nouncement was we'll received locally.
Even the Colomb bian troops favor the
movement thus far. There are indeed
comparatively few troops in the state
of Panama subject to the central gov
ernment at Bogota. Bogota is four
or five hundred miles from Panama
There has been ominous talk of revo-
luton in the south by General Reyes,
who has an ambition to be dictator
and, If the Colombian government
cannot mass troops very soon on the
isthmus it is not unlikely that Pa
mama will be able to get out of the
United States of Colombia.
Our government, in fulfilment of it's
obligations under the treaty of 1916
with New Granada (now the United
States of Colombia), has ordered
three warships Of the Pacific squadron
and three from the West Indian
squadron, to the isthmus for the pro-
lection of American interests and
carry out the terms of the treaty re-
quiring the United States to guaran-
tee to New Granada, or, as it reads
now, the United States of Colombia,
the perfect neutrality Of the isthmus,
insuring the free transit Of the 18TH
mus from interruption or embarrass-
1nent, and the protection Of the rights
of sovereignty and property which
Colombia has and possesses over that
territory. Under this treaty our gov
ernment is thus obligated to protect
Colombian interests on the isthmus,
and it is essential that the naval and
military forces, which the government
may call into service during the ex-
listing emergency, be instructed to
make no movement suggesting SYM
pathy with the secession movement
now in progress in the state Of Pa
mama.
The procuring cause Of the Panama
secession movement is obviously the
fatuous obstruction by the Colombian
congress of the treaty providing for
the construction of the Panama canal
and the adjournment of congress
without any action, except to ask a
:
our government for the canal right
Of way and rental. The state of Pa
mama people several months ago
when the Colombi congress showed
its disposition to obstruct the treaty
began to talk secession, and there
was some sympathy, with the move
n1ent expressed by people Of the ad-
joining state, Cauca, whose southern
boundary abuts upon the republic OF
Ecuador. 1t is not improbable il
the Panama movement succeeds that
s the northern half of Cauca may unite
public, which would willingly favor
canal concessions of a comparatively
easy nature for our government
Panama seeded from the republic
cf New Granada sixty years ago ant
with Veragua declared independence
under the name The State of ths
Isthmus of Panama, but soon came

independence, with federal connection
with the central government. de
clared independence in 1857, but whei

If you feel that the world is not using
you well or that the times are cut of
joint, it is a wonderful restorer to arise
at 6 a. M, to take the ak and to so
out into the open air. Somewhere in the
vicinity of your home is a dead black
oak tree, ripe for the sickle. The restor
ative process consists in slapping this
tree with the ak before breakfast. Begin
steadily and firmly this most healthful
process and watch the growing scarf and
the stout chips flying around the land
scape. It's great!
The perspiration drops from your manly
brow, your heart action is little more
rapid and you know that your blood is
circulating more than once in tWenty-four
hours. AS you rest on your ak and look
up at the tree there is tendency on
your part to burst into song. Then you
hit the tree a few more just for luck
and it falls down. It's easy!
Then you trim it up and are prepar-

there a great length OF time. Years
ago he travelled the wide world over
playing with many Of the leading
bands of the land, and later when the
call that came for volunteers TO sup
press the uprising In Manila he went TO
the,front as chief musician of the mil
itary band, Hisextended experience
there gave him enough sight seeing
and on returning to South Dakota,
purchased a half interest In the De
Smet News and decided 10 settle down
to home life and business. A little
later he was married to popular lady
of his town, and they have kept house
Jnere. Inls fall the desire TO travel
seized him and he sold out and organ
lied the splendid orchestra he had
here Tuesday night. He told US that
he loved the newspaper work, but
! that he had seen just enough OF the
world TO become dissatisfied and want
TO see more. His orchestra is maxi
