Ever Onward.

Ever Onward.
Let the hopeless and the craven
Bow the head and bend the knee;
On our soul this motto's graven-
God ordained we should be free"
Let the wealiling who prcsages
That we cannot right the wrong,
That has rampant been for ages,
Yield submissive to the strong;
Let tile slave who seeks position
Hireling spiritless and low
Satisfy his mean ambition,
Wear the livery of the foe;
Let the hind-born kiss his letters
Grains We're made for slaves to wear
Let the tlaitorous "felOn setters'
OF peoples wrath beware;
Let vain-glorious, would-be leaders
Rail and Islander as they may;
Neither weaklings nor seceders
Can rctard our march today.
Tho the way be rough and dreary
That we tread to reach the goal,
Patriot hearts shall ne'er grow
weary
Freedoms spirit fires each soul.
Faiths bright star keeps cleaning
ever
And it's beams our guiding light.
Cheering us to fresh endeavor,
Ills our beacon in the night.
Our belief is still mistaken
In the future of our race.
When her children true awaken
And assume their rightful place;
Erin, centuries crushed, defeated,
Shall triumphant rise at last
And the future see repeated
All the glories of the past.

treaty. there is pronounced disposition in
Colombia to demand material weakening
of our privileges along the canal strip as
defined by the pending treaty. But the re-
sponsible officials at Bogota doubtless real
ize by this time that the American position
in that respect is unsuitable. Sovereignty
of the kind described in the treaty is the In
dispensable element in the bargain AS to
the consideration it should also be clear at
Bogota that the United States considers
that it has been exceptionally generous to
Colombia in granting a cash payment OF
$1OOO0,O00 and an annuity of $250000. The
United States has nothing to do with any
designs Colombia may have upon the
s40OOO,OOO to be paid to the Panama Canal
Company upon the final passing of the
property. Nor is it likely that this govern
ment will be bluffed by threats to defeat
the treaty into raising the bonus one penny.
This summer should see the case settled as
far as Colombia is concerned. either by the
ratification of the treaty or by its defeat or
indefinite postponement or debate leading
to the absolute and irrevocable withdrawal
Of the canal by the President from Colon
bian consideration. 4.

The English Political Game.

Joseph Chamberlain's recent declaration
in favor of a protective tariff for Great
Britain has led to the circulation of rumors
of his early retirement from the ministry.
Last nights debate in the house of COM
mons clearly indicated that he lacks the
support of the government in his posi-
ton. His outspoken pronouncement against
free trade is displeasing to his cabi-
net colleague especially since he wrote
letter to a workingman apparently
pledging himself definitely to the pro-
lection policy as practical measure
of government. The suggestion of a tariff
wall has aroused the working classes to a
higher pitch of political interest and activi-
ty than they have displayed for some time,
and 1t is feared among conservatives that
a persistent pressure of the prote doc
trine government measure would array
the workingmen definitely against the min
istry and greatly strengthen the hands of
the opposition.
The Irish land bill, which has not proved
cOnspicuously popular in England. is the
cause of much uncertainty as to the future
course of events The government, of
course. has the votes to pass the measure,
especially with the aid of the Irish MEM
bers who are virtually unified in support of
the bill. But large percentage of conserva-
tives is grumblng under the lash of the
party whip. and while bolt is regarded as
unlikely, the passage of the bill. with its
prospect of a possible burden of debt upon
the government for many years to come. is
feared as factor =; aich may contribute to
liberal success.
The argument brought against the tariff
by the workingmen that 1t will increase
the price of necessities does not as yet
succumb to the declaration that only by
means of such tariff can the insular In
dustries maintain themselves against for
eign competition The British workman is
peculiar creature. stolidly willing to en-
trust some parts of his interests to the
statesmen and fercely unwilling to shift
the entire burden of responsibilities He
is today apparently entirely satisfied, .or
instance. to take his chances in the matter
of the state of the industries and trust to
luck and to the maneuvers of government
10 foster trade. but he is not willing that
those maneuvers go so far to add PEN
ny to the price of anything he himself puts
on his back or into his stomach.

The Canal Situation.

1t is limited that the President feels that
Colombia should act one way or the other
upon the canal treaty now pending before
its congress with no more delay than is
necessary for the organization of the body
and the transaction of the special busi-
ness of ratification or rejection. He has
close on Colombia and transfer the nego-
tiations to Nicaragua and Costa Rica
should he be satisfied that Colombia is act
ing in bad faith toward the United States
or is unreasonably delaying the matter. OF
course until the Colombian congress con-
venes on the 10Th of this month there can
be no move toward Fastening the ratifica-
ton. This government must permit Colom-
bia to pursue it's schedule, and II would
have but little ground for complaining if
the congress. instead of Fastening forward
the canal matter, dalled with other items
of business for a little time. 1t must be
remembered that 1t was necessary to sum-
mon our own Senate in extra session to
ratify this same treaty. But the Colom-
bian congress was virtually convened for
the particular purpose of disposing of this
piece of business. a fact which will justify
the President in keeping the closest posi-
BILE watch upon its transactions through
Minister Hart at Bogota. 1t is fairly GER
tain that the debate on the treaty will turn
chiefly upon two points, the virtual aliena-
ton of Colombian sovereignty and the
money consideration. Despite the assur-
ance that the United States will not con-
struct the canal on the basis of less than
the degree Of jurisdiction granted by the

The Local Defalcation.

Yesterdays disclosure of serious defal-
cation at the District building by trusted
clerk shocked the community, for 1t dis
closed that a loose business method in deal
ing with certain funds had prevailed for
long time, whereas it was generally be-
lieved that the utmost care In every par
ticular had been taken to safeguard the
municipal government from frauds and
losses.
1t is of small immediate satisfaction to
lock the stable after the theft of the horse.
but it may prove to be comforting assur-
ance of future immunity from thievery. 1t
is to be hoped that the District will re-
cover the lost funds. so that the burden
of meeting the obligation to the depositors
will not fall upon the taxpayers. But that
is a matter apart from the vitality serious
consideration of repairing the machinery
of municipal administration so that not
only this loose part may be frightened but
that all other opportunities for defalcation
may be as nearly possible eliminated.
This disclosure should stimulate the Com
mssioners to a determined effort to dis
pose of every chance in the municipalities
financial system for crooked transactions.
1t is gratifying to reflect that there has
been a very small percentage of losses
from such causes in the whole history of
the District government. Especially since
the present form of administration was
installed have the local methods of mu-
nicipal management been exceptionally free
from criticism and scandal. The shrewd-
est system of checks, supervised by the
most vigilant of officials, will not prevent
trifling losses from time to time as OPP
portunity and temptation occur simulta-
neOusly. But this defalcation is large and
the circumstances permitting 1t almost in
credible. The system is clearly at fault
which gives to an irresponsible clerk
cess to funds from which he can help him
self freely and cover his takings by means
of a few false entries Whenever such re-
sponsbilites are laid upon the subordinate
he should be bonded for his own sake as
we'll for that of his employer, the public.
While the District auditor cannot escape
public censure for the looseness of methods
which has developed in his office. the peo-
pie of Washington will sympathize with
an efficient and upright official who has
served them faithfully for many years, and
who is now stunned by a treacherous blow
administered by trusted subordinate.

his firm refusal to consider that they have
any right whatever to pry into the affairs
of the Reading companies.
Mr.. Baer makes a valuable witness for
the people. Indeed it is difficult to see how
the consumers case could be successfully
prosecuted without his admissions of the
absolute independence of the Reading and
it's associated companies from all federal
restraint and his cheerful acknowledgment
that the Reading company owns all of
the stock of the railroad company and also
all of the stock of the coal company MI
Baer points proudly to the law of Penn
sylvania which prohibits a single corpora
ton engaging in both coal mining and car
rying. Presumably he regards his corpora
ton as a shrewd avoidance Of the letter OF
that statute. But the public Is wondering
what would happen to this remarkable man
If. after he has wholly crushed the federal
power. he were suddenly confronted by a
determined public opinion in the mighty
commonwealth of Pennsylvania to secure
literal and inclusive enforcement of that
and other state statutes in the light of the
recent decision by a federal court condemn
ing the consolidation of corporations in re-
straint of trade by the crushing of COMPETE
ton.
Without Baer the coal problem would be
dreary maze of figures. percentages, legal
citations and evasions. With him i'll evil
dence it is a constantly changing kaleido-
scope of interest. He is by far the most in
teresting exhibit ever produced in court.

German.



AS a Senator of the United States, the
great monopolistic combinations especially
the sugar and oil trusts, had no more de-
voted friend and supporter in Congress than
Mr. German, and there are few vested
interests in the country that would not
secretly, If not openly, lend him their
assistance. He is democrat, but there is
no advocate of high protective tariff who
could intelligently oppose him. He should
lind favor in Wall street and wherever the
trust-breaking policy of President Roose-
welt is held in disfavor. 1t was Mr. Cor
man and Senator Quay who so shaped GER
tain schedules of the Wilson tariff. notably
the sordid high protectionists, as to oblige
bill and to let it become law without his
signature.
But unless all signs of the times be I'M
reliable no democratic candidate for the
presidency can defeat Roosevelt, and SIM
ilarly no democrat can carry New York
against him. The representatives Of the
trusts, of any and all vested interests"
are financially powerful, and could swell to
great proportions an anti-RooSevelt CAM
paign fund. but in any contest fought out
to a conclusion at the polls between them
and 1.-THE plain people of the country, they
and their campaign fund would cut but a
sorry figure. The plain people have the
votes. and they do not forget nor fail to
appreciate that in fighting his winning
fight against the trusts and vested inter-
ests'' President Roosevelt fought the plain
peoples battles and they love him for do
ing 1t and for the enemies he made by
doing 1t.

Exhibit "a" in the Coal Case.

The general public should be exceedingly
grateful to George F. Baer. president of
various railroad and mining companies
which are grouped in general under the
name OF the Reading properties Were
another man in charge of them or
were Mr.. Baer of a different sort the
country would lack illumination on many
points affecting the relations between the
coal mining and carrying corporations and
the consumers. 1t would not be treated to
the occasional spectacle of a great railroad
and mining leader brutally batting the puny
government of the United States. 1t would
be relegated to the murk of general denials

Mr. Baer is a never-failing source of sur
prise. interest and JOY. If there were any
prospect that he would or could carry out
his theories in regard to the marketing of
coal he might be viewed by the people
with alarm. But the very vehemence of his
denial of federal authority and of his asser-
tons of the devine right of the coal cor
poratiOns to manage their own affairs i'm
mune from any control whatsoever affords
a safety valve for his radicalism and is an
assurance that he will continue to abide by
the laws-when compelled to do so-and TO
