Unusual Heat on the Isthmus.


We shuddered at the latest news that
came throbbing under the sea from Colon.
where the good ship Bluecher seems TO
have been brought 10 a full stop We all
know what Mr.. L. White Busbey, the eff
.eient secretary TO the x-and-prospective-
Speaker of the House OF Representatives.
has said What we now desire to asceF-
tain is what Uncle joe himself said, and
what he said when he was released from
quarantine and stood face to face with
this presumptuous. impertinent person.
Gorgas.
We confess TO utter inability to under
stand Col Gorgas' action in compelling
the party of Congressman aboard the
Bluecher TO conform to the quarantine
regulations intended to prevent ordinary
men and women taking disease germs
into the Canal Zone. Does not this Gorgas
know that such notables as the man who
runs things in the House; Tawney, the
sweet singer; the treasurer Of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee, and the
Representative from Gloversville, who
bore the brunt of the fierce struggle to
increase Congressional salaries so per cent
does not Gorgas know that they do not
even associate with germs. much less
travel about with them? Did he not know
that he was bringing himself in danger
Gus proximity to a buzz saw in thus de
tanning legislators who are athirst for in
formation concerning the progress of the
canal? Does he realize the possibilities
of Secretary Busbey's hint that his con-
duct will be brought TO the attention Of
the administration?
President Roosevelt is credited with the
possession of something closely resem-
bling a grudge against the House Of Rep
.resentatives, and it would be just like him
to uphold Col Gorgas high-handed proce-
dure. The man who keeps the Canal Zone
clean and healthful may not lose his OH
cial head, therefore. but think now he.
and every other denizen Of the Zone. will
be made TO suffer when Uncle Joe and hts
friends have their inning. 1t is not cool
on the isthmus at this time of the year
even under usual conditions. What viii 1t
be when the mercury begins TO ascend,
pursued by the heat of Uncle JOe's re-
marks concerning Gorgas and GOrgas
methods?
The situation seems to be one which
calls for the most poignant expression OF
emotion Of which humankind is capable.
We shudder as we write, and, southwark
across the tropical waters, We send as
surances of deepest sympathy TO Col. Cor
gas and those who labor with him.

TO AVOID TARIFF WARS.
why Not Provide for Automatic
ReeIprocIty with All Nations.

why Not Provide for Automatic
Reciprocity with All Nations.
From the Boston Transcript
Wars of tariff retaliation never pay.
They are surviyals OF the commercially
dark ages. and enlightened statesmen seek
10 avoid them. At present. in the opinion
Of a large element Of our responsible pub
lie men and OF business men who have
studied the commercial outlook in a broad
way. the juncture is one that offers many
arguments for closing quickly with any
proposal granting US concessions In for
eign markets that is at all reasonable in
Its provisions. France has virtually put
the extreme maximum in operation against
our trade, and the State Department ad-
mits that It has nothing 10 offer to secure
more favorable treatment. We are op-
posed by high tariff barriers that may be
made higher in Italy, Austria, and Swi;z-
erland. Germany suspends for a while
the operation OF its tariff against US as
an act Of comfy. a formal European
tariff union of Europe hostile to the
United States is an imposslbility, but the
simultaneous action of several European
nations is beginning TO have much the
same effect
Could the next session of Congress do a
wiser thing than to provide for automatic
reciprocity by leaving our present tariff
the maximum, and granting a reduction OF
say 20 per cent TO nations that extended
US concessions in their markets? Such a
decision would be tariff revision, protec-
ton of our export trade, and maintenance
or expansion of our foreign markets.

way. of showing BenevoIence.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The impulse to give largely to a benev0-
lent enterprise commonly strikes a man al
a time of life when he lacks the energy
and the disposition to assume a heavy
responsibility. Having devoted many
years 10 the accumulation Of fortune he
shrinks from the severe toll of building
up a new philanthropy He is strongly
tempted 10 make use OF existing agen-
cies. although they may not exactly NEE,
his views. Doubtless, Mr.. Rockefeller was
fortunate in being in full sympathey with
the work and methods Of the general
education board, as he was in being able
to trust to the judgment Of President
Harper. Mrs. Sage, on the contrary. has
ideas of her own. and sees the Importance
OF having a hand in the use of the SiO.000,-
900 she has devoted TO social advancement.

OUR NAVIGATION LAWS.
Instance sn which They Operate to
Retard Marine Enterprise.

HeAAfd Marine GHkeEEEASes
From the Norfolk ViFgiEian-Piot.
A striking illustration OF the. manner in
which our antiquateG navigation laws
operate to hamper the development Of
American shipping Is furnished by the
steamer Msrie, formerly the Spanish
tramp Euskaro. This vessel stranded IN
the West Indies some Ave years ago and
VAS abandoned by her owners. She was
afterwsrd fioated by the Merritt & Chap
man wrecking Company. towed TO Hamp-
ton Roads. repaired. and offered for sale.
No purchaser, however. offered, for the
reason that having been constructed in q
foreign country the steamer was debarred
from American registry, and, therefore.
from the coastwise trade. For five years
she has been tied up at a dock at this
port, "a ship without flag. Of no use to
any one. Under the law special act Of
Congress Is required to place the ship un-
der the American flag. and this Congress
has so far refused TO enact Her owners,
however, are now confident Of securing
the legislation necessary to admit the
steamer to American registry, and acting
upon this confidence have given her the
name Marie and sent her 10 New York to
be placed IN condition for service.
Ali the time that this ship. owned by
Americans. has been begging for permis-
sion TO hy the American flag, subsidy
hunters have been rantlng about the de-
cline Of the American merchant marine.
Considering the absurdity Of navigation
laws which render possible a case Ike
that of the Euskaro, the wonder Is not
that our shipping is declining, but that
We have any at all ether than that en-
gagged in the coastWise trade

WHY CLEMENS WAS SILENT.
II was Because lie Didn't Want to
Interrupt the Kaiser.

IL was Because lie Didn't Want to
Interrupt the Kaiser.
Marx Twain, ia North American ReTiew.
A couple OF days ago a gentleman called
upon me with a message (from the Ger
man Emperor. The wording OF
the message 10 me was:
Convey TO 4fr. Clemens my kndest re-
CARDS. Ask him If he remembers that din
ner. and ask him why he didn't do any
talking"
Why how could ] talk when he was
talking? He ''held the age as the poker
clergy say. and two can't talk at the
same time with good effect. It reminds
me of the man who was approached by
a friend who said:
Il think il a shame that you have not
spoken to your wife for fifteen years.
How do you explain il? How do you
justify it,"
That poor man said:
Il didn't want to interrupt her"
If the Emperor had been at my table he
would not have suffered from my silence:
he would only have suffered from the
sOrrows Of his own solitude. If were not
too old to travel I would 90 TO Berlin and
introduce the etiquette Of my own table
which talIies with the etiquette observ-
able at other royal tables. I would say:
Invite me again, your majesty. and give
me a chance then I would courteously
waive rank and do all the talking myself.
/ thank his majesty for his kind message
and am proud 10 have it and glad to ex-
press my sincere reciprOcatioR OF its senti-
ments
