NO TREATY REPUTATION.

It would scarcely be possible TO dis
Gent too strongly from the proposition
which Is advocated In some quarters
with apparent seriousness, that If the
Hay Pauncefote treaty does not permit
us to exempt our own shipping from
the Panama Canal tolls which we i'm
pose upon that Of other countries we
should forthwith abrOgate that treaty.
On no creditable ground could such
action be justified. On all worthy
grounds it is to be condemned.
1t would be a discreditable confession
that we were unwilling to abide by
the results of our own deliberate ac-
ton. 1t would mean that, having made
solemn contract and having found
that it was not quite as advantageous
to us as it might have been made, we
were trying to escape its obligations;
or that, uncertainty and dispute having
arisen over the Interpretation OF it. we
were afraid to submit 1t to the judg-
ment Of an inpert tribunal. We do
not think that the United States is will
ing to be placed In such an attitude be-
fore the world.
There is another and possibly more
weighty consideration. The Hay
Pauncefote treaty IS our title TO the
right to construct the canal. Before
that we were under the Clayton-Bulwe
treaty, which served as bar to canal
construction on the only terms on
which we were willing TO do the work.
1t was necessary to get rid OF the
Clayton Bulwer treaty before we could
construct the canal, and it was got rid
Of by making the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty as substitute. That fact lays
us under the strongest moral obliga-
lions to maintain that treaty Loyalty.
There should be and we believe there
will be no reputation Of the treaty
under which we acquired our interna-
tional right TO build the canal. There
are differences of opinion as to the
precise Interpretation Of part Of that
treaty, though we doubt IL they prove
as formidable as they at first appeared
The likelihood is that they will be com
posed through direct negotiations be-
tween the two signatory powers. If
not. we do not expect that the nation
which led the world into systematic
processes of international adjudication

EXPLAINS SUFFRAGE PARADE
Chairman of Committee Resents At
tack on Enterprise.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The editorial in this morning
Times" on the brilliant evening parade
November which will celebrate the
victories in the states now waging sur
frage campaigns Is so remarkably mis-
taken I'm it's ideas Of this parade that
it seems necessary as chairman or the
cooperative parade committee to make
a statement to The Tribune. The rea-
son for the parade over which The
Times" speculates is obvious. 1t is not
an agitation. 1t is not held by the
Mems League, but by number OF sur
fra<e organizations. The parade Is not
a/ied with any political party nor are
Guffra gists anywhere so allied.
AS to the fine cooperation Of the Mems
League with the women's organizations
in this parade, az in our other activities
the closest investigation OF the unselhsh
work of mems leagues for woman SUI
frage in New York State and elsewhere
will never give the slightest ground for
cowardly imputations Of any Interior

TIVE LOADED CLUB.

Mr.. Thomas Mott Osborne, speaking
st the formation Of the Empire State
Democracy, declared that Murphy OF
Tammany would not put up q good
state ticket unless threatened with a
club. Lets get the club ready and
have it loaded good and heavy at
"the end" he went on. Whereupon
a temporary organization Of this new
est Of anti-Murphy leagues was ef'
fected. The load In the end Of the club
apparently is the threat to put up a
complete ticket for state and local nom
nations in opposition TO the Murphy,
or regular" Democratic, ticket, while
supporting Wilson and Marshall.
Murphys head is hard. TO do any
damage a very heavy club will be nee
essary; perhaps an extra sharp, heavy
axe would be even better. Mr.. Osborne
and his associates who are thinking OF
swinging the club have the right idea.
The trouble Is that they never carry
their ideas to logical conclusion. AS
party regenerators they are dilettantes.
The Democratic League, which came
into being after period Of Utica con-
ferences I'D Saratoga confabs and
divers othtr excuses for lukewarm ora
tory on party regeneration and the
merit of Jefferson In the good old days,
was one Of their pet boss-killiDg instru'
ments. 1t served TO decapitate "Fingey''
Corners, who was fairly innocuous as
a party boss, and thus a place was left
vacant into which Murphy stepped
The league was not used as weapon
against Murpby-at first. And Murphy
was soon in such position, with

good organization with jobs to dispense
at his back, that IL could not be used
against him. The league naturally be,

SCRAPING 1T OFF.

The Hon. Weldon b. Hepburn has
lust announced in the columns OF "Ihe
Congressional Record" an important
historical discovery. The Idaho Sena-
tor, who rises these days with the lark
and never ceaGes from labor until night
falls, has been looking into the musty
legends which pass for American his
tory and has satisfied himself that
Thomas Jefferson took strange liberties
with the truth when he requested that
his epitaph should describe him as
author OF the Declaration of indie
pendence.'
A joint resolution is pending In the
Senate authorizing the appointment Of
n committee to consider the purchase
of Monticello, JeffersOn's Virginia
home, and the preamble to the reso-
luton innOcently suggested that the
country owed debt Of gratitude to
Jefferson for the part he played In pre-
pairing and submitting the Declaration.
That was too much for Mr.. Heyburn's
say:
would not responsibility concede that
Thomas jefferson wrote the Declara-
ton Of Independence or that he was In
any way responsible for It. He was
merely the secretary OF a committee
which prepared it
In spite of Mr.. Bailey's suggestion
that Jefferson was the chairman Of the
committee and that the original docu-
ment was in his handwriting Mr.. Hey
burn remained obdurate, adding !:

with not so much merit. that are In

To the Editor or The Tribune.
Sir. Tho recent terrible accident on
the Lackawanna near Corning. n. Y, re-
sulting in great loss OF life and injury

matically stop train when the signal
is set against II, though the engineer

pacitated. I am under the impression
that a successful test covering period
OF many months was made on one Of the
divisions OF the Erie Railroad. Such a
mechanism applied would certainly have
prevented the recent Lackawanna acct
dent.
one OF the officials was reported
through your columns az stating that the
road is equipped wiz the latest and
most improved systeH. The travelling
public is certainly ehtitled to every pro-
lection. C. r, ".

MAYOR AND SYSTEM"

Mayor Gaynor and commissioner
Waldo had better be more open
minded in this Rosenthal case. III
does not inspire confidence In the
honesty of the police inquiry into the
crime TO have both the head of the de-
partment and the Mayor Of the city
actuated by the desire to prove that
police corruption does not exist. 1t Is
bad enough that the public has TO
depend upon the police to get the truth
when the police themselves lie under
accusation, without the force receiving
the cue from the Mayor and from the
Commissioner to protect the depart
ment at all hazards. Both Of them Ill
their utterances seek TO discredit
Rosenthal and to belttle his charges,
as if his murder at the very moment
when he was about TO give the DIS
trict Attorney further information
were not proof enough that there were
men who were made desperate by the
prospect of exposure.
The Mayor and the Commissioner
have nothing to lose by acknowledging
that corrupt relations may exist be-
tween members OF the police force and
the under world No one would hold
them seriously responsible if 1t should
be shown that they had failed to
stamp them out. The evil has gone
on for a generation, perhaps even
longer. 1t is sheltered from attack by
laws which have the innocent purpose
of keeping favOritism out of the de-
partment. 1t is bulwarked by court
decisions which make the discharge
Of a policeman one Of the most diff
cult undertakings for commissioner.
No one had seriously supposed that
the Mayor and his numerous success
sive commissioners had disturbed its
secret hold. The Mayors virtuous in
dignation that a police lieutenant
should sit down to dinner with gam
bier like Rosenthal will delude no one.
The public does not believe that the
force is made up Of saints. 1t would
prefer to have the Mayor and his Com
missioner abandon their attitude of
panied surprise that any should think
the police corrupt and entertain the
theory that certain members of the
force who had an interest in prevent
ing Rosenthal's exposure might be re-
sponsible for his murder.
1t IS not from a fiendish JOY in
discomfiting the Mayor and his ap-
pointee that men are giving credence
to the police completely theory. They
think that here at last the. system
has overstepped the bounds Of public
endurance. and If the proof Of It's
guilt can be had the people will rise
i'm their anger, cast off the legal red
tape by which they have been bound
and drive the crooks of the force,
Here is a chance for deliverance from
the evil that has grinned at the city
undisturbed through all the changes Of
administration. safe behind the de-
cisions that give a policeman vested
right to his office That Is what Is
uppermost in the mind Of every one
who is demanding that the connection
Of the police with this crime and its
perpetrators be subjected to the closest
scrutiny. The system may at last
be caught redhanded, but the Mayor
and the Commissioner are turning
their backs on the opportunity.
