KNOx's VISIT TO PANAMA.

Knox is now on his way to Panama
and will spend a couple OF months
aboard on a diplomatic mission in
many respects unprecedented. This
will include frequent receptions,

upon whom the secretary will call.
It is known that both President Taft
and Secretary Knox feel that the
great engineering feat at the canal.
which will separate North and South
America physically, should and viii
mi Is results bind more closely to-
gether the natural ties of the neigh
boring republics of the western
hemisphere While the itinerary will
consist largely Of formal courtesies,
there will be friendly exchanges of
political signihcane. The only dis
cordant note awakened thus far was
struck by the Colombian minister at
Washington who intimated to the
state department that his country
would look upon the secretary's visit
at this time as "at least inopportune. !"
The basis of the ministers position
was the fact that Colombia s claims
growing out of it's attempted graft on
the United States in the grants neces-
sary for the construction of the
Panama canal, have not yet been
arbitrated.
The Colombian government has
repudiated it's minister's position
however, ard has recalled him from
his Washington post

Knox and party are abroad carries
nearly 1000 men. the largest crew
now on any American war ship.

DIRECT AND CLEAR STATEMENTS

No matter what view the in
dividual reader may take of the
tariff question there is always
satisfaction in having what is said
of it, or written, definite and clear.
Leslie M. Shaw. former secretary of
the treasury, possesses the power Of
directness and clearness beyond that
of most public men who discuss
economic questions.
In recent issue of the Outlook
some questions are answered by Mr..
Shaw which will illustrate his views
and his expression. One question by
the Outlook correspondent was this !:
Has the tariff question. in your
judgment, anything to do with the
present situation -

doubt that the purchase Of the Glenn

Letters Mr. Glenn has from time to

there has been so much delay and the
execution Of the papers of conveyance
have not been called for until some
doubt was beginning to be entertained
in the matter. 1t seems that the de-
lay has been partially caused, at least,
by one or two owners of small tracts

ment-everyt thing depending, as is the
case with all Of these much heralded
innovations in self government. upon
the character of the citizenship that
employs them.
About year ago Hiram G. Gill
was recalled from the mayors office
Of Seattle and Thomas A. Parish
elected. The latter had been in
Office but few months when petitions
for recall were put in circulation
and would have become effective had
not the business interests, of the
community, foreseeIng the ridicule
that would come to Seattle from
another recall election, sidetracked
the effort by means of a technicality.
Last Tuesday, however, Mr.. Gill
was renominated in the primaries by
an overwhelming plurality, receiving
10, 900 more votes than his near EST
competitor. while Mr.. Parish for
whom he was recalled is evidently
among the missing. It is said that
such a plurality in the primaries is
tantamount to an election.
Think of the sublime asininity of
it all Think of the great tribute
this jumping from one candidate to
another and back again, keeping the
city in a turmoil of political agita-
ton, is to the stability and in
telIigence of the citizens of Seattle
Gill was recalled because he
favored an open town and great were
the bouquets flung at the newly en-
franchised ladies because they were
supposed to have cast the deciding
vote against him. But scarcely had
Parish. the business mans candidate,
got under way, when consistent
Seattleites found that the lid didn't
agree with them and even the ladies
asked for more rope.
So now it's all join hands, boys
and girls together. and back to old Hi

Office with him, so that his opponents,
who can muster 90 per cent of the
vote. may start another recall petition
against him.
What a magnificent triumph for
democracy, for the rule of the people
The recall may dc for stable en-
lightened community that knows its
own mind, and then not for officers
who are retired automatically every
two years. But assuredly it is no
plaything for the political children of

the United States. | suppose that
something can be said in favor Of a
