A FREE FOR ALL CONTEST.

There is no reason in the world why
the mayor and council should be
Handicapped by the citizens they rep
resent" in the solution of the water
question. There is no reason why
they should worry over the vicious
demands Of passionate prejudice" on
the part of persons DESTROYS of putting
through scheme for the benefit of
the First National Bank, and there is
no necessity for saying that such men
have no place in the community after
such a display of citizenship
Let the council submit to the voters
the various plans proposed for the So
luton of the water question, including
the Smith Boyer Thomas springs
proposition and the First National
Bank-Weile Mill creek scheme, and let
the voters decide for themselves which
one they want carried into execution
and whom they want to execute, if
anybody is to be condemned to death
or Punishment.
If the people decide in favor of
bonding the city for the purpose of
bringing water from the Thomas
ranch, the responsibility for any mis-
take of judgment will be upon them
and not upon the mayor and council
The council at the last meeting by a
vote of four to three showed a pref
erence for the Thomas springs plan
over the Weile plan. However
when it comes to formulating
plans to be submitted to the
people it will be right to give a fair
show to the National Bank plan of
abandoning the city's rights on the
Thomas ranch and resorting to Mill
creek for q water supply. Let this
plan be submitted to the people on it's
merits, if it has any. If any other
bank or any other individual also has
plan for solving the water question
let the plan take its chances before the
people along with the others
The Statesman will be perfectly sat
1sfied if the council will submit all
propositions to a vote of the people
1t believes that an overwhelming ma
Jority will vote for the Thomas springs
plan, but it is willing that the First
National Bank should have a chance
to put through its scheme if it can win
the endorsement Of three fifths of the
voters
Let it be a free for all contest with
no handicaps for anybody's pet plan

FREE CANADA.

When in the course of human events
Canada sewers it's bonds with Great
Britain, the United States may become
it's suzerain ally. In the nature OF
worldly conditions there exists no keen
incentive for the United States to Ia
Dor for a union with Canada. There
is in Canada a real reason why the
Queen of the Shows should wipe out
the political and trade barriers.
Should Canada effect independence
from the empire across the sea, as it
some day will do by either agreement
or force, the change will inspire gen.
eral demand for the everlasting main
tenance of absolute and unrestricted
freedom of intercourse with the richer
and stronger branch of the American
breed.
The tendency toward the concentra-
ton of administration over a vast ter
ritory is active until affairs alter ac-
tual conditions and popular sentiment,
when it begins to move for a different
level.
Men of prominence and influence in
Canadian public affairs would prob
ably oppose complete union with the
United States, for the union might
confine their ambitions and dissipate
their opportunities. But their influ
ence could not last for many years
in the face of practical recognition by
Canadian public opinion of the enor-
nous advantages of union.
The future cannot be foreseen, how
ever, and often the unexpected delays
what seems to be the inevitable. At
present, neither the United States nor
Canada can be said to actively urge
the union. Rather than stimulate the
sentiment for a complete independent
government Great Britain would make
important concessions to its North
American colony, and might even, I'M
der compulsion, grant Canada legisla-
tive autonomy, with only the sOver-
eighty of the king of England. At any
rate, Great Britain will be impelled.
for it's own benefit, to be extremely
cordial and beneficent to Canada in
the near future.
At some later date Canada will
knock at the door for admission into
the union. Until it does seek such
family ties, it will at least request a
friendly alliance on international and
commercial bases. The United States
has an opportunity to cultivate the
good will of Canada and thereby pre-
pare for whatever may occur. Setting
aside all questions of the future or
taking them into account, it seems that
it would be better both for Canada
and the United States if the two coun-
tries would arrive at more congenial
agreements as to trade and all other
relations. The friendship thus form
ed, at this suspicious opportunity,
might produce inestimable results for
both.

that fil'ed his friends with awe, and

Tod Sloan, one time champion Jockey

From a wardrobe which was equal
to that of any potentate, and which
made him the pet of society, the lit
tie fellow, according to word which
has reached here, is in want of both
clothes and a place to sleep.
He is in Paris, employed temper
arily by a French automobile concern
at a paltry salary, a salary that in
month does not reach the figures of
one days expenses two years ago.
When not employed as a chauffeur
he is engaged in selling machines for
different concerns, who rely upon his
reputation as a former jocky to bring
trade to their shops.
Always of a determined spirit, he

met him in France, that he would

them, and they are not now in a posi-
ton to help him financially, willing as
they are to do so.

bOlted his party ticket.
The present outlook is that the next
democratic national convention will be
controlled by a combination Of dele
gates from the East and South. Cor
man is now the most formidable can
didate for the pre- sidential nomination
and it is doubtful whether Bryan, with
all the strength he can muster from
the Western states can prevent the
nomination of German or some other
conservative democrat. Such a can
didate will not poll the full democratic
vote in the West, but as there would
be little hope Of any electoral votes
from this section, that fact would not
have much weight in preventing the
democrats from the East and South
from having their own way. The only
hope of electing a democratic presi-
dent next year is by the vote of the
solid South supplemented by New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode
Island, Indiana and one or two other
states east of the Mississippi. It was
such a combination that elected Tllden
in 1876, and Cleveland in 1884 and in
1892 A combination of the West and
South was tried in 1896 and in 1900,
but it proved a failure. Now that the
Western states have all returned to
the republican fold from which they
strayed in 1895, the South must COM
bine with the East as the only hope of
winning a democratic victory in the
nation.

mercilessly robbed. But when he IS
caught he is tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to a long term Of imprisonment,
as he ought to be. But bunco steerers
of the Schwab and Morgan type suffer
no such penalties. They are simply
canoized as captains of Industry, or
Leaders in Finance" and are en-
couraged to persevere in their benevo-
lent enterprises. But we can see no
material difference between the meth
DDS of the average, operator and that
of Schwab and Morgan.

ROOSEVELTS HAND IN PANAMA.

1t is as plain as the nose on a mans
face that the revolution in Panama
was fomented by the Roosevelt admin
istration as a last chance Of saving
the Panama canal project. Colombia
having rejected the canal treaty, the
bill passed by congress made it the
imperative duty Of the president to
open negotiations at once with Mica
ragua and Costa RIGA for a right of
way for a canal. But the president
is trying to save the Panama canal
scheme in which a syndicate has $40,-
100000 at stake. Panama is to be aid
ed by the United States in establish
ing an Independent government, which
will have the power to grant a right
of way for the canal.
Recently army and navy officers
were sent by Roosevelt to make a
tour of inspection Of the isthmus.
There is good reason for believing that
this visit was designed to promote the
cause of the revolution that has now
been inaugurated. United States YES
sells are on hand TO prevent the pom
bardment of revolutionary camps by
Colombian war vessels and to prevent
the use of the isthmian railway to
transport Colombian troops.
1t is said that several European
powers will also send war vessels to
the isthmus and there is a prospect
of international complications arising
from the meddling of the United States
in COlombias domestic affairs.
The course Of the administration in
stirring up a revolution against
friendly republic is likely to be made
the subject of congressional inquiry
and some interesting developments
may be expected.

THE STEEL TRUST BUNCO GAME.

The most interesting disclosures of
recent years are those in relation to
the ship building trust, in which Mr.
Schwab was the principal figure. A
more complete bunco game was never
organized by professional crooks. 1t
has been shown by the testimony of
those concerned. that the enterprise
was a deliberate swindle, organized
cor the purpose of fraud. and main
tained only long enough to enable Mr..
Schwab to gain a vast fortune and put
three or four millions of dollars into
the pockets of Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan
and his partners. Even the associates
of those gentlemen in the crime We're
feeced.
We have, heretofore, referred to the
watering of 100000 worth of Bethle-
hem Steel and Iron Company stock
until it had been swelled to the proper
tons of s30,000,000 but according to
the evidence brought out in the inves-
tigation that wasn't the worst of it.
The managers of the enterprise agreed
to hold back from the market all the
stock until Schwab and Morgan had
disposed of theirs at nearly par after
which the vast amount thus held in
reserve was thrown into the teeth of
the public, which caused an enormous
slump in the value, with the result
that those who purchased from
Schwab and Morgan lost nearly the
full amount of their investment.
The average bunco steerer beguiles
some innocent backwoodsman into the
purchase of counterfeit money or de-
ludes him into a game in which he is
