fight ut Newton. Mass, but the boys from

Panama and Politics.

Shaking of Panama and Condolences"
Is there anything in the fact that the threat
of trouble on the isthmus occurs at the very
time the canal issue is revived in our presi-
Dental campaign? Does the threat grow
out of the revival or the revival out of the
threat? This mornings newspapers, which
carry Senator Culberson's speech delivered
in New York last night, carry also cable
from Colon of a current rumor there that
Colombia is on the eve of invading Panama.
Anti-Americanism, for some reason, has
broken out again both there and mere
simultaneously. While our national poiicy
is being rearraigned here for partisan pur-
noses our interests in Panama, regularly
acquired. are menaced both from without
and within Anything in 1t but "coinci-
dence?" Are there any partisan aid socle-
ties in Colombia and are they operating on
tips or railroad toots. from the United
States?
This is dangerous business for those en-
gaging in 1t. The canal question is not
partisan question. When the treaty with
Panama was under discussion In the Senate
public sentiment was sounded on the SUD-
ject and the response was highly favorable
to the treaty. The leading commercial
bodies of the south were for ratlhcauon
and memorialiZed Congress In that pehail.
They united with the commercial bodies or
the north in the decision that the treaty
represented the best interests of the whole
United States and should be accepted. Mr.
German the leader of his party in the
Senate. tried to show bis party's strength
in that body against ratification. but was
unable to do so. For once the business
men of the south rose above the domlna-
ton of their political leaders.
One of the several difficulties connected
with Mr.. Culberson's proposition Is that 1t
does not go far enough, and the Texas
senator dare not press It in words to its
logical conclusion. For If we are In Pana-
ma by force and fraud we should get out.
If we are the despoilers of Colombia we
should make good-not in dollars and cents.
but in territory. If we have robbed her OF
Panama we should restore Panama to her
To confess the theft and yet hold on to the
goods. mumbling a petition to heaven for
pardon for our rascally souls, is to play the
hypocrite.
Our Panama policy is a national and not
a partisan policy, and the attempt to en-
barrass It, however intended, Is an offense
against the nation.

In determining the maximum height of
these buildings the Commissioners. or per-
haps Congress, should and probably will be
guided by due consideration for the rights
of individuals as well as by the artistic re-
Quirements Of the case. 1t is not desirable
to stifie and discourage private construc-
ton enterprise in this neighborhood, but
there are evident dangers to be avoided If
possible. 1t is stated that owing to differ
ences in the grades private structures
eighty feet in height would not overtop the
station itself and yet some authorities de-
clare that seventy feet above the street
level is sufficient height for any building
facing the plaza. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, now holding title to a
large part of the land fronting on this
space, can do much toward the securing of
an artistic sky line by STIMULATING height
restrictions in all deeds passing to pur-
chasers But more satisfactory will be a
form of regulation, by statute If necessary
and this regulation should be proclaimed as
soon as possible SO that all who scontem-
plate building on the plaza front may know
Just what to expect in this line.
