MEETS WITH APPROVAL.

The agitation begun by the rural
free delivery carriers for an increase
in their compensation is likely to
meet a very general approval. L he
rural carrier is not one of the class
of government employees of whose
value the public has any doubts
He does not quit his job at 4 or 5
in the afternoon, celebrate every
legal holiday and have a vacation
of from two weeks to month
every year at full pay. He has to
report for duty every day in the
week and cover his route rain or
shine, whether the thermometer
stands at 100 in the shade or at 40
below, or whether the roads are
made almost impossible by floods
or are buried in snowdrifts. He
has to be punctual, energetic, in
telligent, honest, and in every
respect reliable. He is, in short,
like the city carrier, high type
of government employe and deserv-
eddy popular with the patrons Of
his route. But in spite of the re-
quirement of intelligence, honesty
and reliability demanded by the SER
vice and obtained in practically
every case, he is granted only 5000
year by the government. This
compensation, if it all went into
the rural carriers pocket, would
not be unattractive to many. But
as matter of fact he only gets a
small part of this sum. For out of
it he is expected to pay for his
horse, wagon, harness and other
OUTFIT, and to keep them in repair
and ready for service at all times.
According to statements made at
the September convention of the
national association of the rural
CdII10IS Uu0 DIV CI dSO COSU VI CdUAP
ment is from $500 to $4OO. The
result is that at the end of the
year the rural carrier finds that the
actual compensation for his work
is only 5000 or $500 a year. But
in many cases even this small mar
gin is cut down and in some cases
disappears. The death Of horse,
the wrecking of a wagon, any num-
Der of possible mischances have to
oe met. It has, in fact, not been
uncommon for a rural carrier to
find himself actually out of pocket
at the end of the. year. The result
is that there has been large num-.
Der of designations. And there
would have been more if the rural
carriers had not been hopeful of.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

Hoary senility is too common in
the United States Senate. When a
man becomes to old to learn Or to
forget (unlearn) he is obstructive;
venerable perhaps as the cerement
of departed usefulness, but worse
than superfuous, either in counsel
or in war.
There is evident dissatisfaction
with certain Republicans over the
coming nomination Of President
Roosevelt. Perry S. Heath, Mach
en-, Tyner and a number who have
been dismissed from Office for dis
honest practices, or are under in
dictment, are opposed to Roosevelt.
Roosevelt, when he read Hoar's
speech in the Senate, must have re-
peated: Heaven protect me from.
my friends. I can take care of my
enemies"
The democratic attitude on the
Panama treaty in the Senate seems
to be, criticise President Roosevelt
but ratify what he has done.
General Woods confirmation as
major general is now assured. He
has many enemies in the Senate but.
more friends.
When Senators Hoar, German
and Morgan are long forgotten, the
administration of Theodore Roose-
welt will be remembered in connec-a
ton with the Panama canal.
Notwithstanding Senator Hoar's
hoary age, or perhaps because Of it,
his rhetoric gets away with the
the remnant of his Judgment.
4.4 #
The present session Of Congress
may become known as the session
of the three treaties; the Cuban
Reciprocity, the Chinese CONNER
cial and the Panama Canal treaty.
President Shurman of Cornell
University, who made reputation
as an anti-imperialist on fhe Phil
ippine question, defends the course
of the administration in Panama
as the most expedient with refer
ence to American interests and the
most just in view of all the circum-
stances of the case.
Soldiers at Fort Douglas, Utah,
tried to lynch a member Of their
regiment who assaulted a young
woman. This is the first instance
of an attempted lynching in the
army.
''Let Colombians take the initia-
tive in war" is the order sent out to
American naval commanders in
isthmian waters.
Itmight be good plan to deport
all anarchists to Santo Domingo.

Russia should take warning from
the prompt and unanimous ratif1ca-
ton of the Chinese commercial
treaty by the United States Senate,
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1903-12-30

and not try to prevent this govern
ment receiving all the concessions
granted in China.
Senator Morgan is trying to pre-
vent the confirmation of Mr.. W. I.
Buchanan as minister to Panama.
The senator's policy is to obstruct
everything that has any connection
with the canal.
The democrats of the United
States Senate have agreed to be
bound by the action Of two-thirds
of the caucus. It will be hard to
get two-thirds agreement among
them on any subject, SO they will
still be free to do as they like.
Alfred Dreyfus, the French army
captain who was accused Of treason,
is to be tried again, and it is gener-
ally believed that he will be rein
stated in the army.
Republicans are pleased to see
that the democrats are trying to
make a party issue out of the Pan
anna affair. The American people
want the canal and will surely pun
ish the party which opposes the
present treaty or even makes an at
tack upon the President. During
the discussion of the treaty in the
United States Senate, and else
where, the case of the administra-
ton has been we'll stated. When
the democrats assail it they are GER
tain of defeat. It is not a question
of sentiment, Or of theory, but Of
fact Colombia rejected the treaty
offered her by this country. Her
reason for doing so was to wait
year Or two and when the conces
sion to the French canal company
would run out, she hoped to get
from the United States the forty
million which was to be paid to the
French stockholders. For this sell
fish purpose, Columbia was willing
to delay the construction of the
great waterway, to risk involving
herself and this country in trouble
with France, who would Of course
protect the interests Of her citizens
in the canal company, and lastly to
disregard utterly the interests Of
their own citizens who lived in
Panama. After the treaty was re-
jected, talk of secession of the 18TH
mus was general It was discussed
in all the papers of the United
States and everywhere else. Given
the provocation and the political
habits of a Latin American people,
a revolution in Panama was newt
able.- It needed not the slightest in
stigation in Washington, and it is
ridiculous to blame our of6ciels in
the navy department for preparing
themselves for an event which every
one foresaw.t Blind as was Colombia
to the state Of affairs on the isthrnas,
even She realized that revolution
was probable and had sent troops to
Panama. By treaty and by obliga-
tons to American interests and the
interests of the commercial world,
our government is bound to prevent
hostilities on or near the isthmian
railroad, and it's terminals, Panama
and Colon. Many times we have
exercised this right or fulfilled this
duty, and this particular time it
happens to be Colombian troops
which are refused permission to land.
The easiest answer to the critics of
the administration is to ask them to
say what else could have been done.
The world looks at the result.
Colombia lost what she was unabl g
and unfit to keep and the world has
gained what it has. right to have,
the canal.
