A few years ago we hailed the
advent of the German carp with
open arms, but to-day we are la
menting the fact that they were
brought to this country. In Wis
consin the fish wardens have be.
gun to try and clear them out of
the waters of the state, but it is
almost a hopeless task. The
German carp is not what we
thought he would be. He lives
almost entirely on vegetable mat
tiers, with the result that the moss,
pond lilies and other growth have
been entirely eaten up, thus de-
the protection to young
game fish. The latter are fast
and the carp are
multiplying at a frightful rate.
Most people have a prejudice
against carp and will not eat them,
md the public in general are be-
to regret the day they
we're introduced into our streams. Il

Lady Somerset gives the Eng.
lish government singing rebuke
when she says that: "But fol
England the sultan would not now
reign in his palace on the Bos.
phorus. We have fought for the
Turk. We have financed the
Turk. We have guaranteed him
against his enemies. and in ex-
change we have accepted his mis-
cradle promises of reform and ig-
more their failure whenever it was
convenient to do 500 And the
words of the lady have so much
truth in them that the English
statesmen should bow their heads
in shame.

Commissioner Richards

Commissioner Richards of the
general land Office has made an
appeal t"r II larger force of assist
ants in his work of wedding out
the unlawful entries of public
lands in the northwest, and he
should have all of the assistance
he desires Commissioner Rich.
ards reports that during the year
there have been 125 unla wful in.
closures, involving 1905, 800 acres
of public land. Seventy-nine Of
these Enclosures have been re.
moved, and suits are pending
against others. He is confident.
however, that the number of il.
legal Enclosures mentioned are
only small portion of the land
steals. and if he is correct in his
estimates it is incumbent upon
the government to handle the
cases promptly and aggressively.
These thieves belong in the peni-
tentiary, and the stripes should be
put upon them without any un.
necessary delay.

OUR DUTY TO PANAMA.

| Much is being written about ou
duty to the new republic of Pana.
ma and q multitude of suggestion
have been offered to the govern.
ment.
! There are are those who are Of
the opinion that the government
at Washington was the power be-
hind the throne which made pos
sible a successful revolution on
the part of the people of the isth-
mus. Assuming this to be true,
the government finds many sup
porters, while others condemn
such a course as being an UNI
warranted interference in South
American affairs.
But in all this discussion the
fact seems to be lost sight of that
the government of Colon bia, by
its greediness and stubbornness
and trickery, was in a fair way to
forever obstruct the building of
the great Panama canal, an un-
dertaking greater in itself than
any South American republic.
Civilization demands the con-
struction Of this great waterway,
and civilization is greater than
any state or nation. Civilization
is for all nations and all peoples,
and when one country stands in |
the path of progress, to the detri-
ment of all other peoples, such !
country by all laws of right and
Justice must take the natural con-
of its rashness and inn
prudence.
That seems to be the fate that
has overtaken the republic of
Colombia. The people Of Panama
themselves eager for the canal and
It's resultant prosperity, were face
% face with problem requiring
heroic measures.
Those heroic measures were

Negotiations to bring such fam
