Britain, and the other with Panama.
They both permit any measures which
might be necessary for the control
and protection of the canal by this
country. Neither of these powers has
any thought of objecting to the con-
struction of forti6cations. On the con-
trary, they might both perhaps be
amazed at our folly if we failed to
make the canal as secure as military
engineering skill could make it. Has
it ever been suggested that the forti-
6cations of Sandy Hook and the Mar
rows deter foreign commerce? Neither
will fortihcations at Colon and Bal
boa interfere with the free use of the
canal
Our policy is designed to be con-
ducive to peace between this nation
and all other powers. An unprotected
canal continually would present temp
tation to any malevolent power to do
incalculable injury. And if the, pros
pect of our closing the canal against
our enemy in case of war were unwel-
come to the world, that would be. an
other argument for keeping the peace

Mr.. Stimson and the Canal.

IT may be desirable to have such
confirmation as to the value and need
of our policy of fortifying the Panama
Canal as is given in the argument of
the Secretary of War in the Scien-
tifc American, seeing that there are
still those who affect to oppose it, but
The Herald is convinced that from
every point of view that is impor-
tant or pertinent. our proceeding seems
to be unassailable
1t IS in accord with our traditional
policy. There are those who urge that
we should intrust the safety of the
canal TO international guarantees of
neutrality" such as prevail at Suez.
They ignore the difference between an
international and national canal De
Lesseps, in 1880, proposed the construc-.
ton of a canal under an international
guarantee of neutrality. The Amer
ican answer came quickly in Presi-
dent Hayes message to the Senate:
THE policy of this country is a canal
under American control The United
States cannot consent to the surrender
of this control to any European powers.
This country has never departed from
that policy and never will"
This policy is in accord. with our
treaties. Mr.. Hayes said that if any
treaty stood in the way of that policy
suitable steps must be taken to re-
move that treaty. These were taken
by the late John Hay and Lord Paunce-
fote. Two treaties alone now have
bearing upon the canal, one with Great

From the Omaha Bee

which seems to he as pronounced in
Germany as elsewhere. Problems OF mu-
nicipal management. OF social and po-
litical questions that have hitherto oc-
cupied the Teutonic thinkers, are tenn
porarily laid aside. while thought is con-
centrated on how to make one end meat,
while the other may be bread or some
other comestible
Many and diverse are the methods sug-
gested, and devious are some of the
ways pursued. One of the popular plans
has to do with life along the Swiss bOr-
der, where the fortunate inhabitants can
slip across into the little republic and
buy beef at Is cents which sells for q
cents in the fatherland. Protests have
been sent up by the many mass meetings.
but the price of meat was sent up first,
and shows no sign Of coming down.
Another phase of the situation is re-
flected in the report that caviar has gone
up . per cent, owing to the heavy pur-
chases made by dealers for the American
market. This is a two-edged sword.
Germany prohibited the Importation of
American meats and now we are seiz-

Victory for Uncle Sam.

The relation of patent rights to bust
ness control once more has been
brought before the public by the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court that no longer a license agree
ment" may be cloaked by the use of
the patent laws. This is no less than
death blow to violators of the pat
ent feature of the antitrust act.
The highest tribunal finds that, while
the rights conferred upon the so-called
bathtub combine were extensive, they
were not meant TO embody exemptions
from the Sherman law. Early this year
indictments were issued against six
teen companies engaged in the manu-
facturc of porcelain and enamel ware
and against thirty-two officers of GER
tain companies. Later several cases
against individuals were dismissed,
however.
1t was alleged that the combination
formed a conspiracy in restraint of
trade. and an attempted monopoly was
charged. The strength OF the trust
lay in its ability TO impose and en-
force a license arrangement for the
use of patented tools essential to the
manufacture of certain kinds of sani-
tary ware. 1t was on this point that
the case was carried to the highest
court.
This decision should have a direct
bearing on the suit of the United Shoe
Machinery Company. which is now in
trouble over its control of products
through patent agreements. The de-
cision is a signal victory for the gov
ernment.

Strike Award Only Temporary.

The decision of the arbitrators be-
tween the railroads and their engine
drivers, that State and Federal wage
commissions be established with full
authority to settle similar disputes in
the future, is binding only until next
MAY, when the engineers, who obtained
only a small part of what they had
asked, will be left free to renew their
demands
Hence peace is only temporary un-
less the men will be guided by the
present determination TO submit to-
compulsory arbitration in labor dis
putes of public service corporations, the
result of the present deliberations of
the arbitrators against which Mr.. Nor
rissey, the representative of the en-
gineers' union, who was one OF the
board. put in minority report. The
threatened strike upon all railroads in
the Northern section of the country
has been averted only after months OF
diligent labor on the part of public
spirited men and by Intervention of the
authorities.
The arbitrators made the following
point:
1t requires no stretching OF the con-
ception 10 regard the occupation of the
railway employe as affected with a pub
lie interest. The interests of the pub
lie in a railway strike are paramount to
those OF the employing roads and their
employees. The food and clothing of the
people. the industries and general wei
fare of the nation. cannot be permitted
10 depend upon the policies and the
dictates OF any particular group of
men. whether they be employers or
employees. nor upon the determination
OF group of employers and employees
combined. The public utilities OF the
nation are of such fundamental impor-
tance to the whole people that their
operation must not be interrupted, and
means must be worked out which will
guarantee this result.
There is sound reasoning in these ex-
pressions There is no Just cause why
labor should not be made to recog-
nize that when it undertakes its part
in the agreement to perform its duty
as a public servant it assumes obliga-
tions the same as its employers do
Regulation which pertains TO rates. but
not to wages, is certain to be ineffec-
tive even as to rates The roads and
their employees will be found working
together seeking to force increases of
rates by agitations for the increase
of wages
The arbitrators declined to pass upon
the question as to whether the rail-
roads, out of their present earnings,
were able to pay the men better wages.
1t was beyond their office, and they
did well to tell the roads to submit
this phase of the situation to the In
terstate Commerce Commission. To
suffer mostly under these circumstances
will be the weaker roads, as the more
prosperous lines already are paying
wages as high, or in some instances
even higher, than the minimum pay or
dered. But the smaller roads ask,

But the Lawrence mine Is not for
since the state mine inspector made
sale. and the directors, one Of whom
is Mr.. Hilliard, have decided to raise
the small amount needed to pay for
their mill by selling a little more
stock. The mine has been developed
by selling stock, and $4,000 has been
raised in this way. 1t is not import
ant, the manner that the money is
raised. This has nothing to do with
the facts that make for a big mine.
You want to know if they have the
ore, transportation so that the ore can
be marketed, and honest management.
That is important and upon these
three things alone depends the value
of the stock
The company has the ore, a mount
ain of it, with hundreds of thousands
of tons exposed-enough to pay back
several times the present value of the
mine. 1t is building mill to grind
up the ore and thus enable the COM
pany to start producing wealth for the
stockholders.

buy stock will be gone. If you are
