Fortifying the Panama.

A pet argument OF those opposing
fortification OF the Panama canal
has been that It would offend the
policy of neutrality and therefore
other nations. Emperor Williams s
advice to General Goethels in favor
Of strong Notifications is an answer
to that. But in the first place, we
should not confuse neutrality with
fertilization. The canal may be
neutral and yet be formidably forti-
fled.
As matter OF fact. the president,
General Goethels and others who
have given their best thought TO this
question are convinced that neu-
trality OF the canal can only be
guaranteed by Notifications. and
that II Is idle to think of neutraliE-
ing the canal merely BY convention.
These authorities also agree that
not only Is there nothing in the
treaty under which the canal was
authorized against Notifications.
bu that the treaty specifically ad-
vocates II.
With oil due regard for the cause
OF world peace, In which We all
should enlist. is II quite fair to other
nations to invite their patronage OF
this great waterway without offering
to them the protection which .ade-
quate fortification would give? II
Is not offending these nations to
mako the canal secure from seizure
or attack; on the contrary. II would
be offending them not to do so. And
then, here Is the United States
spending nearly s400. 900, 900 upon
great structure subject to danger.
Is It good business for the United
States not TO insure this property
against loss the best II mayf Would

vestments of upwards Of ss75, ,0o0,.

And there is still another strong
appeal for fertilization: The two
prime objects in building the Pan.
ANA canal we're TO promote our trade
expansion by removing certain
natural obstacles and to Strengthen
our defense and augment our naval
efficiency. This We do by bringing
into practical articulation the widely
detached lines OF our fleets upon the
Atlantic and Pacific. SO, whether
we neutralize the canal or not. busl-
ness and diplomatic considerations
seem to urge Its fortlfication.

The government. through the De-

broadcast the report OF It's finding OF

TO divide their criticism between our

Doing Justice to the President.

Colonel Roosevelt 10 not likely TO
increase his popularity at the expense
Of President Taft by misstating or
misrepresenting what the latter says
in his public speeches. 1t is disap-
pointing to find the ex-president at
tempting in this manner to promote
his third-term candidacy against the
man whom he, himself. first recon-
mended TO the American people as the
very best fitted and qualified for the
chief magistraey. The colonel persists
in twisting what the president said
in his Toledo speech about popular
government. He makes Mr.. Taft say
that hereafter we shall act on the
theory that this is a government Of
the people, for the people and by
representative part or class OF the
people"
Here is what President Taft really
said on that point:
In recognition OF this. the tendency from
earliest times in our history has been the
enlargement of the electorate to include
In the ultimate source OF governmental
power as many as possible Of those
governed. But even today the electorate
Is not more In number than one-fourth
of the total number of those who are
citizens of the nation and are the people
for whom. the government Is maintained
and whose rights and happiness the gov
ernment Is intended to secure. More than
this. government by unanimous vote Of
the electorate Is impossible. and, there
fore. the majority OF the electorate must
rule. E.t...s.-.a
We find. therefore, that government by
the people Is. under our present system,
government by a majority Of one-fourth
OF those whose rights and happiness are
to be affected by the course and conduct
Of the government. This is the nearest
TO government by the whole people we
have ever had. - In other words.
the electorate Is n representative gov
erning body for tho whole people for
which the government was established.
and the controlling majority OF the
electorate is a body still less numerous.
II is thus apparent that ours is = gov
ernment OF all the people by a repre-
sentative part OF the people.
Colonel Roosevelt says he believes
In q square deal. Mr.. Taft is entitled
to a square deal. At st. Louis he
said: ''Fd a million times rather
lose the campaign and get justice
than TO win II without justice" Mr..
Taft Ia also entitled to justice.

Wife and Wages.

Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, wife of
the former chief chemist Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, is out with
a radical plan for revolutionizing the
home, insuring domestic tranquility
and enforcing the relative rights Of
the wife. II is summed up in this:
Right now the wife Is the only hard
working human animal who gets nothing
for her ten or twelve, sometimes sixteen
hours of hard labor n day. Perhaps she
is given board and lodging. but even SER
wants get more than that. / believe the
time is near when laws will be passed
based upon the husbands income. and 1t
should be one-third, never less than one
fourth. Of his salary.
The Denver Republican went to the
trouble Of having several women OF
that city interviewed on the subject
and, while most Of them disagreed
with Mrs. Wiley's view, 1t was as
tonishing that nearly all Of them
gave ii serious attention.
OF course. man with a wife will
ing to spend all the money that she
can get her hands on, regardless OF
the family's needs, is to be pitied,
Just as the woman is whose husband
neglects her and the children for his
own selfishness. but II does not fol-
low from the fact that extremes Of
this kind obtain, that law enforcing
an equal division OF the cash between
man and wife would contribute any
thing to the domestic tranquility OF
the home or felicity between man
and wife. When II becomes neces-
sary to lower the home to the level
OF commercial transaction, where its
conduct must be governed In detail
by legal provision, 1t will be about
time to think OF reconstructing the
whole Institution.
Il seems TO us that the wife who
measures her part in the home, her
influence in making its life and ex-
ample felt upon herself. her husband
and her children. from the dollar
standard. needs. not so much a bet
er division OF her husbands weekly
wages as an entirely new conception
OF her relation and duty as a wife
and mother.

OMAHA, March G.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: Being Japanese was much in
terested in Mr.. Roberson's speech on
Japan last night.
am not a politician. 50 do not discuss
jingoism. but for the so-called immortality
Of Japan, 1 have to take pen to refute
his falsehood, In spite of my scant knowl-
edge Of the English language.
A man who always patronizes the under
world cannot conceive the idea Of the
existence Of higher stratum Of society.
Thefefore. there is no use to discuss the
social and political problems with such an
under dog. That reminds me how the late
Mr.. Hartman praised the superior COM
mercial integrity OF Japan; Henry George,
jr., on his eastern economic question,
Bishop Harris on Christian Prospect"
and recently splendid article on Japan
by Dr. Jordan Of Stanford university In a
current political Journal
These rank foremost as financier.
economist, evangelist and educator. and
know wei what they write.
Mr.. Bryan is also q living witness. o.
course. he never visited the underworld
to collect prostitutes pictures, shame
lessly. as his trophy, but from q diplo-
matte view we must near from him.
There are very many good books on
Japan and japanese in the Omaha public
library.
To him who caught the war scare or
begot false Ideas about Japan. rec
ommend to read The Awakening Of
Japan" by okakura Kakpzo; The Book
Of Tea" by the same author: Japan by
the Japanese" and Japan in Transition, "
by Ransome, an Englishman.
These will undermine Mr.. Roberson's
statements and scatter them into eternal
oblivion. But how many of the audience
were disappointed and disguised by the
war TALK such beautiful fiowers!"

tivate such lovely flowers with tender
care-can they be the same as a blood

immaculate snow-capped Mountain Full
do they give way to the black monst
of sensuallty?
Anyone who wants to prove that Japan
Is the menace Of decent. moral, Christian
civilization. must show US some horrible
pictures Of that country; that Is. pic
ture something like the Frisco mob de-
molishing japanese art stores or south-
ern lynchers burning negroes alive!

Here is a bit of advice from the
Department of Agriculture expert
which We desire to repeat:
advise the farmers TO plant the best
seed they can get. They should use Sc
lected corn on the cob, each ear Of
which has been tested for termination;
and IL they have TO use shelled corn
should test 1t and plant enough. depend

The Aurora Republican puts

The Aurora Republican puts one
over on Congressman Norris by
pointing out that when the sugar
tariff was up. the Nebraska man Of
fered a bounty amendment to save
the beet sugar producers from an
nihilation, declaring that without
this relief the proposed sugar tariff
would favor the Sugar trust and
then. after the amendment was re-
jected. voted for the bill which he
said the Sugar trust wanted. One
thing which the Republican overlooks
10 that a political campaign is on in
which Congressman Norris is seeking
promotion to the senate, and that a
roformer chasing votes has as much
right to play both sides of the street
as any one else.
