WHY so GREAT HASTE2

Nowhere in the United States is
there a more conservative newspaper
than the Chicago Chronicle. While
Democratic in politics it never sacrifc-
ca truth to PARTISAN speeches and is
quite as apt to applaud a good Re-
publican as a good Democrat. The
Chronicle has taken a positive stand
against the early recognition OF Pana-
ma by the United States and makes
some bold statements concerning the
causes back of Roosevelt's hasty act.
In an editorial Wednesday on this sub
ject the Chronicle says:
1T cannot be pretended except by
stock jobbers that an emergency ex-
listed requiring action at Panama
amounting to summary war by the
president without consulting congress.
Congress was at hand. Mr.. Roosevelt
had already called that body in special
session and members would be in their
places in few days. Why did he not
wait?
"The Panama-New York syndicate
alone can tell Mr. Roosevelt undoubt-
edly took counsel only of his impetu-
osity and John Hay. The adviser OF
Mr. Hay was undoubtedly now the
duly received plenipotentiary of the
fake republic Of Panama, Partisan,
former official of the French Panama
company whose corruption almost pre-
cipitated a revolution at Paris when its
nefarious transactions were disclosed.
''The fake state illegitimately born
under its tainted auspices was rec
ognized by Mr.. Hay and Mr.. Roosevelt
within 100 hours of its base birth. al
though we made Cuba wait three years
for recognition.
What Is the reason for this I'M
precedented haste? Was 1t worth while
to violate the constitution for a Sc
cession mushroom consisting Of three
men. one of them the consul of Spain
and Nicaragua to Colombia? Do three
men, with a treasury, a soldier, a
sailor or a ship. constitute sovereign
state within the purview of the con-
stitution OF the United States? Is the
motive of the revolutionary course of
Mr.. Roosevelt to be sought in the
simultaneous frenzy of the Paris
bourse over the new rating Of Panama
shares?
What shall explain the indecent
haste with which the fake republic Of
Panama was recognized at Washington
within 100 hours after its illegitimate
birth?
The constitution of the United States
is excellent reading. AS a literary pro-
duction it is admirable. AS an inter-
probation Of the scientific and lofty
purpose of its makers II has served as
pattern for all constitution makers
since its adoption. The people of the
United States cannot spend an hour
more proftably than in its persual
'In article 2 t ! will read that the
president shall from time to time give
to the congress information of the
state of the union and recommend for
their consideration such measures as
he shall judge necessary and exped-
lent.
IF Mr.. Roosevelt felt the need of in
augurating war with any country why
did he not mention to congress when
It met? He has usurped the war pow
er of congress and he knew 1t. The
deed was done.
why the extraordinary haste?'

THE MORNING PAPER.

The Ohio State Journal one of the
best morning newspapers in Ohio, Of
fors the following valid argument in
favor of morning publications.:
who reads yesterdays newspaper?
A daily newspaper is the most per-
ishable article of general use in the
world. When new day is born, yes
tcrdays newspaper is thing Of the
pasta back number.
"a morning paper lives an entire day
From morning until midnight nearly
"a hours of life are assured. This en-
ables 1t to reach while fresh and live
q wide radius from It's place of publ
cation. On the news stands of Colum-
brs all the principal morning papers
of the central west are on sale; who
ever saw other than a local evening
paper there?
"The evening paper has a vastly
shorter span of life. Published late in
the day, its brief interest ends in a

limit Of its life. In that time it is
impossible for It TO circulate to any ex-
