PANAMA CANAL DEAL IS

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Acting Secre-
ing statement relative to the Panama ca
nal:
I'm order to completely close the Panama
canal transaction and to avoid any question
as to the authority of the United States
over the canal zone arising out of the fact
that the consideration of the concession
had not actually been paid as provided by
the treaty. the Department or State, acting
under the advice OF the attorney general.
has paid over to j. P. Morgan & Co., the
duly constituted agents of the Panama gov
eminent. the remaining 100000 of the sum
stipulated in the treaty as the considera-
ton for the concession"
The warrant was made out by the treas
Loomis, who handed 1t to George w. Per-
kins, representing Morgan & Co., who In
turn will cash ii at the New York sub
treasury. 1t was the original plan of the
State Department to retain this 100000 in
the treasury until the arrival here next
June of Senior Obaldia the newly appointed
minister from Panama. This plan was sug-
gested by the government of Panama,
which was not disposed to have so large a
sum OF money as s10,00O.OO0 placed at one
time in the Panaman treasury, where II
might prove a great temptation TO restless
revolutionary efforts. But, as Mr. Loomis
explains, our own government decided that
it's title would be better and the field of
operations on the isthmus would be cleared
without delay for the canal commission if
the full payment were made TO Panama.
Therefore the government of the latter
country designated Morgan Co. as its
financial agents in the United States, and,
while they take over the money, ii will still
remain in New York

TREASURED MEMORIES

Not all of the garlands of war are of
laurel and palm; there are others of with
cred and bitter leaves which do not crown
the victors or repose on the graves of those
who have given their lives for their coun-
try. They are worn by the women who
have inherited the legacy of sorrow and
loneliness through the death OF a son, a
ia ther or brother in war.
They cling in their bereavement to any,
thing which may keep fresh the memory
of these dear ones. Their letters portraits
treasured as of priceless value, and on such
a day the one appointed to honor the
Nations dead they seem to bring back
something of the real presence of the heroes
who have fallen.
To express these thoughts on canvas is
the motive of Edgar S. Cameron's picture,
Treasured Memories a beautiful repro
duction of which viii be given free with

memory of a son fallen on Southern hat

time-worn uniform TO place them in the
chair he used to sit in as a boy. while she
rereads the letters whose contents she
knows by heart.
Il is thus on the anniversary Of his death
and Decoration day she performs silently
and alone what to her has become the cele-
bration of sacred rite. The picture is one

sesses artistic qualities of high order.

Democratic Congressional nomina-

ond and fourth districts of the State,
all of which indicate very plainly
that the organization entertains no
hope of success in the districts named.
In the First district the reelection OF
Captain Dovener is conceded, the
Democratic candidate making success
doubly certain. In the Second dis
trict the handsome and spectacular
Stewart W. Walker has been given
the nomination, land it is anticipated
that he will make the most out of a
losing game, but his chance OF cleo
ton is as slim as the breadth of his

and those principles are embodied in

The Vice Presidency.
YOU are.

Former Secretary Of War Elihu
Root never makes a public utterance
that is not worthy of careful consid-
Grafton by his fellow citizens. One of
the ablest lawyers in the United
States, and a cabinet officer who dis
played signal ability in conducting
the affairs of the war department at
a most critical period in the condl-
tons arising from our acquisition OF
the Philippines, his grasp of public
questions is comprehensive and thor
ough and he possesses the faculty OF
keen, incisive speech in laying his
views before the people His speech
as temporary chairman Of the Chi
cago convention is a presentation of
Republican policies and achievements
which every voters should carefully
study, and cannot fail to have effect
in this campaign.
In his speech of notification to Sen
ator Fairbanks at Indianapolis yester-
day Mr.. Root took proper occasion to
discuss the duties, responsibilities
and Importance of the Vice Presiden-
tial Office. 1t is timely topic, espe-
cially in view of the fact, as Mr.. Root
pointed out, that the Democrats have
nominated an octogenarian for the
second place in the National govern
ment. There have been times, and
not SO remote, when the Vice Presi-
dency seemed to be somewhat lightly
regarded in the making up of party
tickets. 1t is scarcely necessary to
comment upon the unwisdom of such
a course. 1t stands to reason and
common sense, let alone proper re-
gard for the public veal, that the man
who may at any time succeed to the
Presidency-and there have been two
instances where that succession oc-
Cured within a few weeks and two
wherein it has happened within about
six months-should be one in every
way fitted for the Presidential nomi-
nation itself. No man has a mortgage
on his life, and the citizen designated
by the people to succeed the President
in case of vacancy ought to be one
for whom they would willingly vote
for the higher office.
Mr.. Root very thoroughly sets forth
the necessary qualifications of Vice
flying to Republicans to know that
Charles Warren Fairbanks possesses
them in a marked degree In law,
business and politics, and during
nearly eight years in the United
States Senate, Mr.. Fairbanks has fully
established his claims to the conf
dence of his countrymen, and should
the Nation be deprived of the SER
vices of Theodore Roosevelt the
reigns of government would fall into
competent hands. That such con-
tingency might occur is not pleasant
to think about, but all men are NOR
tai.
No one would impute Henry G. Da-
Wis age to him as a fault, but it can
not be considered an advantage as
Vice Presidential candidate: To use
a common expression, he is now tliv-
ing on borrowed time," and cannot bel
ordinarily expected to have many
more years on earth. The possibility; |
of the Presidential Office passing into
the hands of the Secretary. Of State,
