Law and Order in Panama.

(From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
If the people who are disposed to be
distressed at the employment Of I'm
tied States marines for the purpose OF
insuring an orderly election on the
isthmus would only see the reality be-
meath the diplomatic fiction which rec
ognizes an independent republic al
Panama they would be saved many an
unnecessary pang. In the nature OF the
case the control of the canal zone by
the United States is an imperative ma
tional necessity. It might have been
easier for the government at Wash
ington If the territory necessary for
the canal could have been purchased
outright or annexed, but as either OF
those methods would have entailed
diplomatic difficulties, the maintenance
of the so-called independent republic
at the isthmus was the least of the al
tentative evils.
This plain statement Of the situation
being admitted as accurate, 1t follows
as a natural corollary that 1t Is the
business Of the United States to SCI
that the republic of Panama conducts
itself in such way as not to imperAl
the interests of the canal and of the
United States. When revolution or DIS
order threatens there is nothing for the
United States to do but to preserve
order and to uphold that administra-
ton, or that group of administrators
who give greatest promise of stability.

cial governments have begun a sys-
tematic policy Of forest reservations
Their forestry bureaus are not mere
ly designed to protect natural forests,
but to promote, by scientific means,
the reforestation of denuded tracts.
Thus the Ontario government has
just set aside new forest area of T.
300 square miles in the region of Lake
Nepigon. This increases the provin-
cial forest reserves to total of 49,
300 square miles. According to de-
partmental estimates, the timber
standing on these tracts includes sew
en- billion feet Of pine.
The Ontario government, under the
new forestry act, reserves power to
dispose Of such mature trees as are
found in the reserves. 1t is held un-
wise to allow matured trees to fall into
decay. Such timber will be marked by
government experts, and sold on the
stump Its removal will give room for
the development Of younger timber,
and all debris will be destroyed to
avoid fires.
If a reasonable, scientific policy Of
forest reservation, such as this. had
been adopted in the United States fifty,

THOSE ARMY DEseRTIONS.

A report that 1000 sailors deserted
the American fleet when it was an
chored off the Pacific coast recently,
has caused a good many people to
cape Just whether the report was
justified it is not possible to say, altho
the number looks like a heavy exagger-
alton.
The desertion of full thousand
men at one time from even force OF
vessels so strongly manned as the
United States squadron would be
most unusual detection, and at first
thought would seem so large as to
imperil the efficacy of the ships. But
whe Their it was 1000, or whether 1T was
only couple of hundred, the fleet has
shown itself able to move on its way
without any apparent impeachment by
shortage of crews.
The forsaking of their ships by a lot
OF men, whether they be marines or
tars, is naturally a thing to be greatly
regretted. We have no means of know
ing how many of the unfaithful were
bona fide sailors engaged in the hand
ling of the ships, how many were
trained to the gun service, or how
many were marines who carried arms
The chances are that all branches or
the naval service were represented In
the number who failed to return to
their boats, SO that the division of loss
would naturally ease the effect.
Then, too, the chances are that a
portion of the men got too far away
from their floating homes to reach them
before sailing, while others lost their
bearings thru unfamiliarity with the
cities in which they were lost, and a
portion got too hilarious to be fit for a
return to service.
The cut in the ranks Is hardly as
serious as some would at first believe.

How We're Capturing Canada.

(From the Washington, D. c., Post.)
The imaginary boundary between the
United States and Canada is rapidly
disappearing in the northwest. "You
pass thru a broken wire fence" says
Mr.. CORDIALLY, "and you are told that
YOU have left British and stand on
American soil; at the next house you
find that the farmer is brother of him
with whom you stopped overnight in
Canada as you ride thru his herd you
notice many brands familiar across the
boundary. The land is one; the people
are one, and the herds are mingled;
the absurd fence is broken down in
MANY places. You wonder how long
that frontier-the barbed wire and the
tariff-wil endure
The Americanization of Canada Is
shown in the press. which takes It's
style from the American newspapers;
in the American books and periodicals
found everywhere; in the hotels, the
barber shops, the bars and even the
clothes worn and the language spoken
All are American. The influence OF
eastern Canada seems to have departed
entirely The Canadians look south
ward rather than eastward; and as fol
England, it is very far away.

THIN vorER AND BLANK LINE.
(sioux CITY Journal.)

One thing demonstrated pretty con-
clusively in the late Iowa primary was
that the policy Of leaving blank lines
on the ballot to be filled in by the
voter is not a success. Perhaps the
most glazing example of the voters
lack of interest in the blank line was
afforded in Hamilton county. In that
county no candidate for coroner de-
veloped in either party prior to the
primary, nobody evidently thinking Il
worth while to circulate a petition for
job that was mostly honorary. But
all the ballots at the primary con-
tanned blank lines on which the voters
might register their personal prefer
ence for that office If one voter had
written in the name of candidate In
any party that candidate would be the
legal nominee of the party for the Of
flee in question. In all about 5000
voters handled the various ballots, but
not one of them in any party wrote IN
the name of a candidate for coroner.
No harm was done, for candidates may
be nominated at the county conYen-
lions, the primary failing to make a
nomination. But the instance affords
a striking illustration of the disincllna-
ton of the voters to exercise initiative
at the primary.
The primary law does not contem-
plate that names of candidates for
county committeeman or delegates to
the county convention shall be printed
on the ballot. Blank lines are left,
and it is expected that the voter shall
write in the names or use paster up
on which they are printed. The pri-
mary demonstrated that the paster
plan is practical when adopted. but
that the voters can not be expected to
think up and write in names of their
own volition They can find business
enough in the primary booth. register
ing their preferences among the print
ed names set before them. without
botherng to bring out candidates OF
their own.

The training of students to subordi-

public good was declared to be the
great problem before American colleges
by President Thomas McClelland in
his baccalaureate address to the SEN
Tors Of Knox college. That is almost
self-evident, and yet what difficult
proposition 1t Is. 1t is entirely con-
,trary to what the whole nation has
been teaching and practictng for long
time, and it will be years before that
sentence will be taken up in earnest
and that task begun. But why espe-
cially the college? If the youngsters
ARE to wait until they reach college
