Now that Mr. Hines is 70 belong to the House
himself, il is difficult 30 how any one is going
to dispute his parliamentary contentious.
For these reasons there are two ways of look
ing at Mr. Hines success in his ambition On
the surface, il is reasonable to think that the
one man i'll the country who admittedly knows
more about House procedure than any other,
ought to be III Congress himself. On the other
hand II is difficult TO perceive how, for the want
Of regularly employed parllamentarian, Mr..
Hines will have any time left in which to be a
Congressman. Nobody can hope to I'LL his place
at the table the Speakers elbow con-
sequence, the logic of events will make it neces-
7ary that he till in the Congress a dual role.
As matter of fact, Mr.. Hines has largely
been the unobtrusive handspring OF the works
He ii was on whom Uncle joe Cannon con
stantly relied for the tip for the way out of en-
barrassng positions. He it was who gave to
the Speakers arbitrary rulings the twist and
semblance of law and precedent. Amid all the
glory of sage parliamentary debates, it was
Hines who furnished the conspicuous gladia-
tors with their thunder. Behind the scenes ont
of the arena, Hines has played in Congress an
important if not snowy part.
For these reasons it is perhaps the part Of
justice that Mr.. Hines should gain his promo
ton. He is one of those rare men who make
their own positions. He saw the possibilities in
the clerkship which he has made over into one
Of the most important and most difficult posts in

ALL
There is in this proposal nothing of jim
goism as we see it. On every consideration the
right to fortify the canal would seem to be in
herent in this country. BY some curious chance
of folly the Clavtoa-Bulwer treaty denied this
right As lately AS 190l treaty proposed by
Secretary Hay and urged by Mr.. Roosevelt him
self failed to establish it. And even in the latest
Pauncefort-Hay treaty the right to fortify is
not given, and is to be- implied only by the fail
ure Of the document to mention the question or
fortifcaton. To proceed now to fortify the canal
Is tn take advantage of omission which II will
not lie in the mouth Of England To declare ear
ries an inhibition. To assume. as English con
tention declares should be assumed that the
treaty denies the right is to perpetuate timid-
ity which is a relic of national weakness. To The
lay mind ii is not at all clear wherein the sphere
Of English influence on the isthmus is strong
enough TO Justify any treaty whatever with that
power. The treaty having been made, the only
respectable policy now is to construe it in
cordance with this countrv's strength and dom
inant interest in u canal which fortified, will
make it greater-and which unforthed, will
expose it 10 constant peril and ever-present
threats against It's peace and prosperity.
