Panama.
uiet in Panama produce

Reports of disquiet in Panama produce
no goosefesh in America. We shall hear
them from time to time. The climate is
warm. and the people are a little hot and
hasty. Still they will profit by their new
opportunities and intimate associations with
their new neighbors. They are certain to
change both their mode of life and view OF
things under the influences that American
control of the canal zone will introduce.
AS they had spunk and wisdom enough to
cut loose from Colombia to advance their
own interests, so they should be able to
improve the occasion for strengthening
those interests now that they are estab-
Iished We shall expect that much of them
and cooperate with them to that end
First of all we shall stand by those who
stand by us. Our rights under the treaty
are well defined, and we shall be serving
everybody in interest when we exercise
them fairly and justly. More than that we
have no thought of doing. Less than that
we should err In neglecting. With this
spirit of course goes the power to enforce
IT, We are for the Panamans. and expect
them to be for us. We are not calculating
on doing business with new government
every day, and there Is little likelihood
that such situation will be presented.
1t may be that just now there are some
adventurous spirits on the isthmus who are
finding it difficult to understand matters
and curb themselves. But even such as
these will soon learn that 1t is getting more
and more difficult every day to set up gov
eminent simply by proclamation and
shout. Some good reason must support
such movement, and some resources must
be at hand.
The government with which We are deal
ing now is in good hands, and should find
II not difficult to maintain itself 1t has our
friendship and best wishes, and when we
get under way with our ditch digging We
shall be In position to strengthen 1t mate
rally. On the canal zone itself we shall
insist upon order, and secure it, 1t is likely,
indeed, that we shall nave less trouble there
than in the lynching belt here at home. For
there. the federal authority will be supreme
and officials will not be coddlng toughs and
outlaws for support at the polls.

LaWYer Parker

Judge Parker's new move fnsures two
things: A comfortable income, and his re-
tirement from politics. He should get his
share of the big fees that go with the
practice of the law in New York. He is
well equipped for the work, and he Is well
advertised Clients in search of such an
adviser will have no trouble in finding him.
And the measure of his success as a law
yer will be the measure of his handicap
when politics is considered. For among
his clients are certain to be few trusts
and in that way he will lose in circles
where trusts are unpopular. He will be
bracketed with Mr. Olney and other cor
poration lawyers who have never been able
to stir the multitude when denouncing
capital and its syndications. May all good
luck attend Lawyer Parker in his venture

Taggart and the Future.

Mr.. Taggart has returned home. and the
announcement il made that after a much
needed rest he will, as chairman of the
democratic national committee, establish
permanent headquarters in Indianapolis
and begin preparations for 1905.
Does not this magnify Mr. Taggart's of

campaign is ov>r? How may he employ
them. even II we concede such purpose to

time. but only for some definite purpose,
which must be announced Is 1t supposabIe
that the committee is so much under his
thumb that he can use II for his own pur-

say that his ability to manipulate that COM

Tsu Hsi at Seventy.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
Today it Is timely to offer wishes Of
many happy returns" to the empress dow
ager Of China, for today she fulfils the
threeScOre years and ten which Moses pre-
scribed as the span of mans life. Nor is
there any lack Of gallantry in recalling the
fact. In China not even women hesitate
to tell their ages, nor do they try to make
their summers or winters seem fewer than
they really are. Age there is an honor,
and youth a reprOach, as those of us who
endured the terrible catechising of Ii
Hung Chang well remember. So 1t is fit
ting to recall that this is Tsu Hsis seven
tieth birthday and to wish that future re-
turns of the day may be happy for her and
fortunate to the empire over which she
rules.
There are few other sovereigns in the
world concerning whom so much has been
said and yet concerning whom so little Is
actually known. Volumes have been writ
ten about her. and for nearly half CEN
fury she has been the ruler of the most
populous empire in the world, yet, strange
to say, there is no general agreement as to
whom she really is, or at least as to what
expresses dowager, named Isl An and Isu
Hsi One of them died in 1880, and one
still lives and reigns. But which was
which who can tell? Not the authorities,
the almanacs and diplomatic year books, at
any rate for some of them call the present
sovereign by the one name and some by
the other If we call her Tsu Hsi 1t is not
because there is any assurance that that Is
really her name but because under that
name she will be neither more nor less
strenuous in her rule; and really we must
call her by some name, even IL we mark
hack to her melodious maiden name of Ye-
hOnala,

Stay in Politics.
From the Toledo Times.

AS soon as the election was over party
organs and some among the more unthlnk-
ing of the unmuZzled press took up the re-
frain "Get down to business Meaning,
we presume by this, to drop politics until
another election rolls around. This we re-
gard as bad advice. 1t is precisely this get
ting down so closely to business all the
time on the part of the great American peo-
pie who hustle for a living that gives the
professionals who make office holding and
office brokng an excuse for living off the
people their chance. 1t is all right to get
down to business, but don't get down so low
that what is going on around you can't be
seen and guarded against, If necessary.
Take a little politics with business every
day, and the extraordinary effort of the in
dependent movement will necessitate every
ones making a business of politics for a
short season.

Forget Politics.
From the Birmingham tAla.) Age Herald.

The south can afford to swap national
politics for prosperity-prosperity on the
farm, in the mines and throughout the tim
Der belt. We have mineral wealth, timber
wealth and agricultural wealth, all await
ing development, and this development can
be conducted on lines broad enough to
monopolize utmost energies and
strength. The best chance of the south,
possessing. as 1t does, home rule consists
in material development. Let us accumu-
late wealth, and forget for season the
perplexities and appropriateness of politics.

Bad Manners at Weddings.
From the Syracuse Post -standard.

Many a prospective bride and groom of
today make plans for the approaching we'd
ding with as much secrecy as If they were
stealing chickens. They long to slip into
the corner and have the knot tied with
no one but themselves and the minister the
wiser. They await the inevitable hour with
fear and trembling. What Is the reason for
this? 1t Is the foreboding spectacle of the
barbarism, expressed In foolish. clownish
FRANKS, played by humorous friends" that
will follow the ceremony. Unless the groom
be shrewd enough to outwit the tormentors
difficult task. the couple will be certain
to be humiliated in many ways before the
eyes of amused strangers.

A1oofness of the South.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

A disheartening feature of recent Amer
lean politics has been the continued aloof-
ness of the south. In other parts Of the
country the people divide according to the
opinions prevailing at the time. and parties
contend for the mastery; the south has re-
manned solid" and immovable. In the re-
cent election, when President Roosevelt
may be said to have swept the country by
popular reclamation, the southern states
alone maintained their attitude Of dissent.
This separation of any one section from
the political interests that concern the
whole must be harmful to 1t and to the
nation.

FISH OR CUT BAIT.

The Washington correspondent OF tn.
Chicago Chronicle says that at the Payne
cabinet dinner the other night, Roose-
welt threw his arms impulsively around
Senator Hanna's shoulders and gave him
a bear hug The following dialogue then
took place:
Senator" said the President, 'let you
and me retire to corner by ourselves
and see which of us fishes or cuts bait
"All right, Mr.. President said the
Senator. cheerily: Il am willing to fish
or cut bait with you
Ii this is not fake, it is not the sort
of actions that patriots would like to see
in the chief magistrate and the king
maker at Washington. There is no doubt
that Roosevelt is very apprehensive over
Hannas position, Notwithstanding that
the Ohio man has written 1000 letters
saying Il am not a candidate" The
President and his close friends know that
there is a strong sentiment in the Repub-
lican party against his reorganization.
