WHY ARE THEY STARTING7

therefore. no good reason for dismissing the
whole matter as invention of soft hearted
charity workers or a sensational press. Inas-
much as publicity will probably relieve the
plight Of these hungry children, il is pertinent
10 ask how circumstances have conspired to
cause such distress and how a recurrence of
r,resent conditions may be made more difficult.
School children are starving partly because
their parents are desperately ignorant, but
partlr also as result Of the educated pubc's
sluggish response TO the suggestions and de
rnands Of highly trained, experienced charity
workers 1t is significant that the suffering iS

American people would give serious thought to
the vital problem OF distributing labor. Owing
to neglect in this matter, East Siders cannot

PANAH4N Politics.

The keen rivalry which is reported TO exist
between Messrs. Arias and Obadia-or their
-,artisans-for the succession to the Presidency
of Panama is not at all unnatural or surprising,
h,,t in more than one respect is reminiscent of
similar incidents in the early history of other
republics. even of our own. The partisanship
which arose in the United States at the close
Of Washngton's administration intense
and bitter as any which we are likely to see
on the isthmus and was perhaps in some Of
ifs manners and methods as little scrupulous.
In the stress of the revolution party passions
remained undeveloped and personal ambitions
were held in abeyance for the sake Of the COM
mon cause but as soon as that cause was fairly
won they made their omnOus presence appar-
eDf So il has been elsewhere, and SO ii is in
Panama.
The rival candidates have long been friends
and collea CUES, and indeed have both been asso-
ciated with the same political policies. Mr..
Arias was one of the founders Of the republic
who Joined Messrs Amador and Arrange at an
early stage OF the revolutionary movement, and
he has been a prominent member of the gov
ernment almost constantly from the beginning
He was one OF those Conservative ministers
against whom General Huertas and his Liberal
colleagues strove 10 organize a revolution nearly
four years ago Mr.. Obaldia was the man who
