End of the Treaty Debate.

The Senate tomorrow will vote on the
canal treaty. Ratification is assured. The
opposition pulls up very lame-hopelessly

Gratis recorded for the treaty than against
1t. 1t has been found impossible to play

The Maryland senator is familiar with all
the primary maxims and adjurations. and
may be expected to apply them in the big
game he is playing.
Although he has lost this fight and in
jured himself. Mr.. German has yet by his
course performed valuable public service.
Voicing as he did In his place in the Senate
the objections which had been raised here
and there to the treaty, he fixed greater at
tention upon them than they would other
wise have received. and made 1t necessary
for the administration to go into the fullest
details as to its part in the transaction.
Many absurd charges and misrepresenta-
tions were afloat, and ordinarily would
have been ignored. 1t was better. however
all things considered, that they be met and
disposed of; and this, thanks to Mr.. Cor
mans mistaken championship. has now
been done. The President has dealt so
frankly with Congress. and through Con-
gress with the country, that henceforth no
man. very careful of his reputation. will re-
peat the stuff which for several months
past some of the Presidents enemies have
been industriously circulating.
The debate on the treaty in the executive
sessions of the Senate has probably not re-
vealed matters of great import. The case
in the main has been tried in the open.
Things that have not been discussed IN
all fullness by senators have been outlined
by suggestion, until the country feels that
it has every point of vital Importance in
the premises. 1t would be wise, however,
to publish the final vote by official au-
tkority, so that no question can anywhere
be raised as to just how senator's recorded

ton by the regular irregular channels. but
Il would be better the other way. Let US

"Entangling Alliances -

A favorite topic OF Washington birthday
orators is the warning uttered by the first
President on his retirement against the
entry of the United States in the field of
world politics. popular impression pre-
walls that 1t was Washington who first ut
tered the phrase 'entangling alliances" 1t
is associated with his name, is put into his
mouth and is made the text of discourses
intended to cast discredit upon the modern
course of American administrators. 1t is a
fact. nevertheless, that Washington did not
himself coin the phrase which is insis-
tently repeated in nis name. He did in
truth. lay down in his farewell address,

which 1t has remained among the national
political apothegms thus:
Peace. commerce and honest friendship
with all nations. entangllng alliances with
none.
General Washington laid very broad
foundation for this declaration of principle
He. Furthermore. specifically uttered both
of the essentials OF the now historic phrase
in other forms. After noting our detached
and distant situation" he asked in his fare
well address:
Why. by Intervening our destiny with
that OF any part of Europe, entangle our
peace and prosperity in the tolls of Euro

caprice?'
He then said:
1T is our true policy to steer clear of per-
manent alliances with any portion of the
foreign worlds. so far. / mean. as we are
now at liberty to do It: for let me not be
understood as capable of patronizing in

Let those engagements be observed in their
genuine sense. But in my opinion IL Is un-
necessary and would be unwIse to extend
them Taking care always to keep ourselves
by suitable establishments on a respectabl

braced more at length In Washington's ad-
dress that II has come to be accepted as
the actual Washington statement Of the
case. However. the chief interest today
Is not as to the exact authorship Of the
sentiment, but as to the status Of the
United States toward the world In re-
spect OF the warning, thus spoken by both
Washington and Jefferson. Neither man.
OF course, could foresee the marvellous
changes that would be wrought in the
physical facts of life and in the improve
ments in the facilities for communication.
Neither could know that in the course Of
few decades China would be nearer
Washington in point of actual time of
travel than was London then, and that the
far interior of the great continent of Asia
would be coupled by electricity with the
American capital permitting Virtually in
stantaneous transfer of news
But If Washington and jefferson stood in
their places now. with the worlds map
spread before them, with the history of
the past century fully grasped by them,
with the opportunities and the obligations
of the time well understood. they would
probably repeat their warnings in terms
which would embrace the precise position
OF this republic on this anniversary of
the birth of the First President.
The United States is today entangled in
no foreign alliances. 1t Is bound up in
the political fortunes of no other power
1t is taking its part in the worlds affairs
as becomes world power, great CONNER
cial nation. friend of world peace and
leader in trade, manufactures and in
yention. 1t Is exercising a wholesome, pa
cifc influence upon the world, chiefly for
Its own sake. incidentally for that of the
other nations. 1t is friendly with all, par
tisan with none. and. In the terms of
Washington's warning. 1t is now, tardily
but none the less satisfactorily, taking
care to keep itself by suitable establish
ments on a respectable defensive posture"
Washingtons or Jeffersons, the words
which ring today In the nations ears are
Wise and potent for good. And In their
Interpretation the changes which have oc-
Cured since their utterance must be taken
into consideration, else they will not fit

questionably have wished them to fit In

vent the construction of a rival line
