The refusal of the Colombian republic
to ratify the Panama canal treaty, is
attributed to the efforts of J. P. Morgan
and other magnates, who established a
lobby we'll supplied with the 'sinews Of
war;" and succeeded in convincing
a sufficient number of legislators of the
little republic on the Isthmus that it was
not policy for Uncle Sam to dig the big
ditch, to defeat the treaty. The trans
continental railroads have waged bitter
war against the canal scheme, as it would
enable the ship lines to knock the props
from under the railroad freight rates

Walter Wellman, journalist and cor
respondent of Washington who is said to
be nearer the Administration than
any other newspaper man, tells in a
few lines how President Roosevelt is
attempting to carry water on both shout
ders by playing for the support of trusts,
while endeavoring to regulate them in
order to ''stand pat" with the people.
"Mr. Roosevelt's mastery skill as a
politician has been employed so success
fully" says Mr.. Wellman, that no one
suspects he is politician-the best test
in the world. Having become the most
popular man in the United States and
having won the enthusiastic approval of
the masses by his fight upon the trusts
and the corporations, Mr. Roosevelt not
long ago began to cast about for methods
by which he might even up. He had the
people with him, but the trusts, the cor
porations, the financial leaders, the bank
ers we're hostile. This hostility was CEN
tered in New York. 1t CHANGED that in
New York and among these very people
there was general and earnest desire for
a reformation of our currency system.
The President has gone in for that refor-
nation with his accustomed ardor and
energy, and it will not be his fault if the
financial people of New York do not soon
look upon him with more favor"
