was inclined 10 be drowsy and to drop

such a Gathering racket that it was
impossible to rest at all.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: Russia has decided to recog-
nize Panama. and the United States
Will recognize Russia, in Manchuria
and elsewhere. We have nothing more
binding than treaties to restrain Rus
sia with, and we have decided that
when a treaty is in the way of Man
ifest Destiny 1t muct be torn up. Rus
STA believes as heartily in Manifest
Destiny as Mr.. Roosevelt does"
The Norfolk (va.) Landmark Dem.)
says: Many of the newspapers which
uphold the Administrations Panama
policy are doing so in perfect frank
ness, confessing that the morality of
the proceedings is questionable, but
declaring that the end justifies the
means Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Hay
should be equally frank and should
stop protesting that every step they
are taking is in accordance with treaty
rights and international law"
The New York World (Dem) says:
Those Colombian ENJOYS who came
here to protest against the recognition
Of Panama and were held up for three
days in quarantine while the canal
treaty was signed and sealed with a
seal made for the occasion by an oblig-
ing clerk in the State Department,
have had an experience that will al
ways be useful to them when they go
home and hear suggestions that any
thing can just as well be done
manana' as to-day"
The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem.)
says: THE President recognized
Panama before there was time for
Colombia to even attempt to assert her
sovereignty, and he signed a canal
treaty before the incipient state could
organize a constitutional government.
There was never anything like it since
that tragic time in Denmark when
the funeral baked meats did coldly
furnish forth the marriage feast Now
to collusisn and deception he adds the
offense of bribing Colombia to accept
the secession. for the dullest must see
in the disclaimeG the profession of a
purpose which carries its own con-
demnation."

NOT MUCH SYMPATHY FOR COLON

The effort of Colombias President
10 bring all of South America to the
support of Colombia in her effort to
regain control of the Department of
Panama, now the republic of Panama,
doesn't seem to be successful Ecua-
dor has responded with words of sym
pathy, but there are no signs that she
will do more than that. On the other
hand, Chile, the most enterprising of
the South American countries, openly
sympathizes with the new republic of
Panama. 1t makes no difference to her
what steps are taken to get the right
Of way across the isthmus so long as
progress is being made towards the
construction of an interoceanic canal.
She wants a canal across the isthmus,
and she doesn't propose to waste any
sympathy on Colombia for being greedy
instead of wise.
So far as we have learned, the other
South American countries are apathetic
In respect to the Panama affair. They
don't seem to think the United States
have designs on their territory simply
because they have brushed aside the
obstacles which Colombia, in the hope
of getting a few more millions of dol
lars, would place in the way of great
undertaking in which the entire CIV
ilized world is interested. In the mean
time, following the example of Presi-
dent Marroquin, distinguished Colon
bians threaten the Panamanians and
their little republic with utter destruc-
ton. They talk about marching 10O,
900 men to the isthmus as if that
were an easy undertaking.
1t may be that 100000 men in Co
lombia have signified their willingness
to go on an expedition to Panama to
coerce the Panamanians, but If they
should be called on to go they would
want to know where the money was
coming from to pay them for their
time and services, and they would also
want to know where the equipment for
such an army was coming from. AS
they couldn't get a satisfactory answer
to their questions there wouldn't be
any army 10 march to Panama. And,
as a matter of fact, is it not practically
impossible 20 march an army from Bo-
gotta to the isthmus? 1t is stated that
it is. Therefore, President Marroquin
and other distinguished Colombians are
making no progress towards recover
ing Panama by their talk of an inVad-
| ing army of 100000 men.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-11-24

Samuel w. Moore, a prominent law
yer of Kansas City, on returning to
his home from Arkansas a few years
ago, told a good story concerning a
distinguished attorney in Western Ar
kansas. Judge James F. Read, who
was born and lived in Kentucky be-
fore moving to this state, says the Ar
kansas Gazette. 1t runs this way.
"A man living near Fort Smith died
This man was comfortably we'll off in
worldly possessions, but he had been
neglectful of spiritual welfare He
had never Joined any church, and had
had little to do with religious advisers
The time for his funeral arrived, and
although a Baptist preacher had agreed
to be on hand, an unavoidable acct
dent had delayed him. The house was
out of town, and as the friends of the
departed brother were all assembled,
Judge Read was asked to make a few
remarks over the body of his friend
who had also once lived in Kentucky.
The judge consented.
My friends he said, we are gath
cred here to-day to pay final tribute
to our friend, who has already solved
the mysteries of the great hereafter.
He did not have the reputation of a re-
ligious man, and yet he lived the
life of a noble Kentucky gentleman.
He had good bosses and he ran 'em. He
had good seegars and he smoked 'em
He had COON game cocks and he ut
