AMENDING THE TREATY.

The senate committee on foreign rela-
lions will, at the suggestion of Secretary
Root. amend the Santo Domingo treaty
in a way that is expected to give salts
faction to several senators, including
some on the democratic side,, who have
the convention, says Washington dis
patch. Article vii of the treaty provides
that 1.-THE government of the United
States, at the request of the Domini-
can republic, shall grant the latter such
other assistance as the trainers may
deem proper to restore the credit, pre-
serve the order, Increase the efficiency
of the civil administration and advance
the material progress and welfare of the
Dominican republic" This article will
be changed so as to provide that the
United States government shall have
authority only to intervene to protect
American citizens acting as agents for
the collection of Dominican revenues in
the performance of these duties. This
Is judicious change and removes the
objection that the article eliminated con-
templated a virtual protectorate by the
United States over Santo Domingo.
Whether or not, however, the amend
ment will have the expected effect of
satisfying senators who are hostile to
the treaty remains TO be seen. Some of
this opposition is on the ground that
the policy involved In the convention
is one which our government should not
adopt. that it creates precedent which
may In the future cause the government
no little embarrassment and trouble.
Those who hold this view are not likely
to be influenced by the change suggested
by Secretary Root.
II is perhaps unfortunate for the
treaty that another revolution Is re-
ported from Santo Domingo, for al
though IT Is said not to amount to much
and may he easily suppressed If the de
facto government will act promptly. still
1t furnishes another Illustration of the
character Of the people OF that republic
and the difficulties attending any effort
to bring them to the ways of civiliza-
ton.

A TELESCOPE VIEW.

After profound study and comparison
of the American railway systems with
those of foreign countries Senator Lodge
has discovered nothing wrong with
American railroads excepting under
handed discrimination by rebates and
drawbacks.
The Massachusetts senator evidently
has not troubled his mind concerning
the effects of the colossal imitation of
railway capitalization and the conse-
cessive tribute upon the American peo-
pie to meet interest on fixed charges and
pay dividends on four or five billions OF
water. Like other political astrono-
mers who have viewed the railroad hori-
zon through the inverted telescope, Sen
ator Lodge claims that American ship
pers are served at very much lower
rate than European shippers. the basis
of comparison being the American long
haul against the European short haul,
and regardless of the fact that govern
ment-owned railroads haul free of
charge troops and munitions of war.

not least, the mails, including postal

might do this is suggested by their

LAND LEASING OR LAND BUYING.

A delegation Of Nebraska range
stockmen has gone to Washington to
urge the enactment of law to enable
them to lease the unoccupied public do
main in the semi-arid region of Ne
braska. In this effort they are sup
ported by numerous petitions and reso-
lutions adopted by commercial bodies
in every section of this state. While
no harm can come from the movement
in favor of the enactment of q special
land lease bill, it is extremely doubtful
whether a special or general land lease
bill can be passed at this or any future
session of congress.
1t should be borne in mind that the
Millard-Bowersock bills authorizing the
leasing of the cattle range domain at
cents an acre per year failed to pass
after an exhaustive investigation of ex-
listing conditions. Whether congress
has undergone change of mind since
1902 is decidedly dubious.
It seems to us the western ranchmen
who desire to avail themselves of an
unoccupied public domain would find it
much easier to secure the enactment Of
land-selling bill, which would be pre-
ferable from every point of view. The
owner Of ranch can fence and improve
his land with perfect impunity. The
lessee always has to take the risk of
being dispossessed of the land either by
the enactment Of new law or by set
tiers under the homestead law. Land
ownership, moreover, means permanent
settlement, and permanent settlement
should be the aim Of the national gov
eminent as well as of the state govern.
ment.
Leased lands, whether owned by the
government or by the state, contribute
nothing in taxes toward the mainte-
nance Of state government. The owner
of every acre of land pays taxes in pro-
portion to its value and becomes sup
porter of the state, county and school
district. The land lessee is like the
wandering Arab, who moves from place
manent habitation. The time Is not
distant when the state of Nebraska will
abandon its policy of leasing school
lands and substitute the policy of sell
ing the lands to the highest bidder, even
II to carry out this policy 1t becomes
necessary to change the constitution,
which forbids the sale of school lands
below the minimum Of seven dollars
per acre.

II appears that the statements of MIR.
Wallace, former chief engineer Of the
Panama canal, before the senate cc-n-
mittee on interoceanic canals, i'm whiSh
he pointed out some problems not before
presented, created i'm the minds of the
members of the committee an enlarged
view Of the difficulties of the great
undertaking. He urged that the govern
ment ought to build. with as little delay
as possible, a double-track railroad of
the best modern construction and equip
ment across the isthmus, and ought
to construct il with q view to adding,
before long, a third and fourth track.
This should be done for the reason that
the railroad, instead of being out of
commission when the canal is com
pleted, will then just be getting ready
for its great future business. He ex-
planned that the canal will draw freight
from all over the world to the isthmus
and after it gets there the railroad will
haul much of il across. 1t will be i'm
possible to avoid this situation If the
isthmian route is to be encouraged and
made the most Of. If this view is cor
rect 1t means a large addition to the cost
of the enterprise
The fact that the Tehuantepee rail-
road is nearing completion and is
Panama canal and railroad gives plausi-
bility and force to the suggestion of Mr..
Wallace. He said that II common sense
business methods were not soon applied
road it would presently lose all its bust
ness. Likewise. If the Panama route
were to compete successfully in the
long run with the Tehuantepec it would
have to afford equally desirable facili-
ties. There is no doubt that the compe-
tition of the railroad across the Mexican
isthmus is a matter to be seriously con-
sidered and as this competition will
come in the near future it would seem
that provision for increasing the facili-
ties of the Panama road should not be
delayed. Mr.. Wallace said that competi-
ton with the Tehuantepec, with Suez
and with the Panama railroad must be
counted on in all the phases.
Thus new problems. more or less
perplexing, continue to be presented in
connection with this vast undertaking,
all calling for additional expenditure.
In the meantime the canal work is max
ing rather slow progress and little is
being done to expedite it. The question
whether the work is to be carried on as
at present or done by contract ought to
be soon determined. so that greater
energy and vigor could he put into the
work and the people be assured that
the money being expended is producing
adequate results.
