people arose a. one man and in thor
ough accord, without the firing Of q
single shot, unresisted. they quietly
established a government Of their own.
They had thrice been independent and
the right Of secession was, | believe,
expressly stipulated in some OF their
constitutions.
THE president dispatched our mea-
ger naval force ashore, consisting Of
40 marines. TO do what they could to
preserve peace. order and unimpeded
transit across the isthmus. He prompt
ly recognized the de facto government
as soon as he learned that was In
peaceful possession Of the country.
This is the usual and necessary pro
cedure. We have on many occasions
recognized new governments with an
equal degree Of celebrity and prompt
ness. Later the republic Of Panama
was given full recognition. We are
acting fairly and lawfully under the
treaty Of 1870. The administration,
am sure. has no apologies to offer for
its course"
Mr.. Loomis discussed the rejection
OF the canal treaty by the Bogota con-
gress. and continued:

What Might Have Happened.

IF the revolution in Panama had
not occurred; IL the American people,
guided by the opinions Of its most
learned. efficient and highly trusted
engineers conunued TO think the Mic
araguan route an impracticable one;
IL the people and congress Of this coun-
try had insisted that we wait for a
year. or until such time as the politi-
clans at Bogota were ready TO nego-
tiate a new canal treaty. and in the
meantime the congress had declared
invalid the renewal OF the French con-
cession. what might have happened
on the isthmus? | may safely assert,
without fear Of contradiction by any
well informed person. that the gov
eminent OF. France would not have
stood by and Witnessed the pillage Of
thousands Of her people through the
act which Bogota politicians devised
for the footing from the French COM
pany Of S40.O0O.OoO.

France Would Have Acted.

The moment that the cables fash
ed from Bogota TO Paris the astound-
ing news that the extension Of the
French concession was Cancelled. a
French squadron from Martinique
would have borne down upon the 18TH
mus and perhaps landed marines at
Colon and sent them across the 18TH
mus 10 Panama and along the line Of
the canal to protect the interests and
property OF French citizens. There
would. in all probability. have been an
armed conflict between France and
Colombia. or France AT least would
have felt herself compelled to hold the
isthmus for a long period. This would
have wrought poignantly upon the sen
sibilities of the American people in
respect to the Monroe doctrine. and
We should. no doubt. have found our.
selves viewing France with annoying
apprehension The French warships
might easily have been followed y
those Of England and Holland, and
Panama, like the Balkans. might have
been expected TO furnish the spark
to set half the world In flames"

WE have noticed in two or three
papers a statement criticising Presi-
dent ID. r. Francis for having APP
pointed James L. Blair as General
Council OF the Board OF Directors for
the Worlds Fair; and for having paid
Mrs. James L. Blair, President OF the
Worlds Fair Board Of Managers, a
big salary. The writer is thoroughly
conversant with the facts when be
states that Mrs. James L. Blair drew
no salary whatever from the Loulslna
Purchase Exposition. Mr.. James L..
Blair was not appointed by President
Francis, but was elected by the Board
OF Directors just the same as Mr..
Francis was elected to the position he
holds. Mr.. Blair never had anything
TO do with the finances OF the exposi-
ton company This statement is made
so that those who + TO can correct
the false impressions they have made,
may be able 20 do 50. tits really hard
TO understand why some people take
pleasure in cricicising the manage
ment OF the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position continuously; never in any
way encouraging the enterprise.

BUY 1T AT HOME.

THE Nodaway County MOL Demo-
crat agrees with the Mexico LEDGER
that home Institutions and home mer-
chants should always be patronized by
home people, and says:
'Jast now when some OF the firms Of
the large cities are seeking mail or
ders, is a good time for u country
people to know that you can buy bet
ter goods OF your home merchants for
the same money, or less, than you send
away for the articles. When you go to
a home merchant, YOU can see the
same articles before you purchase, and
know about the quality to your own
satisfaction. 1t will pay you to pat
rouize the home merchant every time.
Besides you are under some moral
obligations along that line. 1t is said
that true charity begins at home.
True business, also, should consider
home first"

TELLS HOW TO CARRY PURSE.
Smart Set Advised as to Shopping
Tours-What a New York
Woman Says.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Stop carrying
purses, especially chain purses, for
they tempt men who, If they did not
see them, might remain honest.
Carry your purse, II at all, inside the
bosom OF your dress. There 1t will be
comparatively safe il you are attacked.
Garry as little money as possible in
your purse. There are other places
where 1t will be more likely to re-
main with you. :
II you are attacked, remain cool,
scream as loudly as you a and scratch
and bite until some man comes TO
your assistance.
Such is the advice to women, given
by Mrs. Alice Etlnger, who was held
up by a footpad and robbed.
II was walking home after a visit
with some friends, said she, "when a
young man asked me the time |
told him / had no watch with me.
Then be asked me the direction Of a
certain street. By that time ] had
started to run. The fellow seized me,
and before / knew IL bad grabbed my
chain purse and was fleeing up the
street / screamed and a policeman
came, but he was too late; the fellow
had disappeared. My purse contained
about sl5.n
Then Mrs Etinger gave the advice
| quoted above. I'm know how to act
| next time" she said.

The Mexico LEDGER has no patience
with parties who predict If this or
that man is or is not nominated for
some office that Missouri will go Re
publican. If the rank and file Of the
Democratic party is allowed TO vote
and have a full and free voice in nam
ing the ticket and making the plat
form there is no question but what
the ticket will be elected by the
usual, IL not an increased, majority.
There is no fairer way to choose the
nominees than by a primary election
at which none but Democrats are per-
mitied to vote. Referring TO this
matter the Shelbina MOI Democrat
says: "We warn the schemers vino are
plotting to cheat the Democrats by so
manipulating county conventions that
delegates will be chosen who will mis-
represent the majority, that any such
attempt will meet with swift punish
ment. The people are alive to the
issues In this State, and they are de-
termined that the majority shall

ity that this first recognition Of Mr..
Pullman's sleeping cars was made
which gave the "Alton" the distlnc-
ton OF being the Pioneer Sleeping Car
Line.
There were three different makes Of
sleeping ears originally submitted to
Colonel Goodell for his choice, and
after examining all patterns, the
choice fell to Mr.. Pullman. Colonel
Goodell took Mr.. Pullman to Bloom
ington, at which point the Chicago &
Alton erecting shops then and now
are located, and from two Chicago &
Alton passenger coaches the first Pull
mans we're constructed.
The first contract provided that the
&C. & A." vas to furnish the cars
and keep up the outside, and that Mr..
Pullman was to furnish and keep up
the inside.
While Mr.. Pullman provided the
drawings and patterns for his first
cars, Colonel Goodell's recommended
ii ms, as the cars were under recon-
struction, were exceedingly valuable
to Mr. Pullman, and the friendship
between the two men, formed at that
time, continued until Mr.. Pullman's
death.

How shall missouri Show HospitalitY !

The gu stion OF hostess for the Mis-
souri, State Building has been consid-
cred informally by the members Of the
Missouri Worlds Fair Commission.
The names OF several excellent women
have been mentioned in connection
with the position which, it was sup
posed, had already been created by
the Commission. The sugges ion is
made, however, that another plan be
adopted instead Of the regularly EN-.
ployed hostess. This suggestion is tc
the effect that the Commission invite
as its guest some prominent and rep.
resentatlve Missouri woman each to
act as hostess for a week. The hostess
would be permitted to invite two OF
three young women to be with her
and aid in welcoming visitors. In
this way a hundred or more Missouri
women would be hostesses and the
generous hospitality OF the State and
It's grace and culture be shown. While
the plan has not been considered by
the Commission formally 1t has been
talked over by some Of the members
as possibly better than the regularly
employed hostess plan.

Mr.. Folk was enthusiastically re-

Mr.. Folk spoke, in part, as follows:
at St Louis, after all the exposures
OF corruption had started the nation,
the managers Of the party were afraid
TO say anything~abont the disclosure
in the party platform, and they de-
liberately took into the councils Of the
party the man who was considered
the fountain-head Of corruption and
allowed him TO name part OF the

and make speeches. At that time the
