ENGLISH PAPER ON
 PANAMA MATTER

London, July Recommending on the protest of the British government at Washington in connection with the regu- lations of the Panama canal, the Pail Mall Gazette today contends that Great Britain is in the responsible position of having to uphold not only her own rights, but those of the whole world, which de- pend on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. At the same time the Pail Mall Gazette rec ognizes the entire reasonableness of the American contention that, having sup piled the capital and the skill to build the canal, Americans have the right to every consideration not conflicting with the treaty obligations of the United States.

Upton Writes on Water Rates

To the Edltor or The ASe-t1eidiu.
 Having had the opportunity of watch ing the negotiations between the Bir- mingham Waterworks company and the city at close range, the writer requests that you give space to the following expression on the subject.
 Previous to these negotiations the city had certain rights which were un- questioned and In the opinion of some, other rights which are not yet deter
 mined. The water company in the comparatively near future must come to the city for renewal of present contracts, and with the avowed hope of removing that antagonism which
 would prevent such renewal. they pro
 posed material reductions in the then existing rates. Hhe board of com
 missioners has passed an ordinance putting these reduced rates Into ef-
 feet and 1t is now proposed 10 make
 this ordinance the subject of ref
 erendum election. In the agitation for
 the referendum. however. the question
 of rates seems to be practically side
 tracked, with municipal ownership the
 main issue Now, if municipal owner
 ship is the real issue, let us race the
 issue fairly rather than to graft II into another question. Let each stand
 or fall on its own merits.
 There is no chance for argument as | tc4 lHt utSlidpilitS oA tho
 ownership of our witer supply, nor as to the city's right to acquire this prop erty by condemnation whenever they are prepared to pay for 1t, regardless of the present change in rates. II the voters of the city are now ready Tor the question all that is required Is that the necessary funds be provided ana condemnation proceedings begun. But municipal ownership Is not the subject of the referendum. So let us look at the rate matter. The writer ad- vised the acceptance of the new rates for the following reasons:
 First-The consumer may buy water by meter in every case
 Under the flat rate the wealthy con- sumers as a class get their water at a Very low rate, large number at much less than cost, while the wage earner Is paying high rate, which makes the company's profit possible. No man should be forced to pay for watering another
 mans lawn The meter puts all on the same footing.
 Second-The minimum charge for me tered service cannot exceed s10 per year, instead of SIP, nor can 1t exceed threo- fourths of the flat rate instead of the | full flat rate as heretofore. This is a positive gain to the small consumer Third-The rate per thousand gallons is | reduced as follows.

DATE OF DECISION LEFT ID ARCHIBALD Committee of Five Will Con-
 slider Resolutions
DETAILS NOT FIXED
No One Named to Preside Over the Trial-Careful Study of Prece- dents and Law Are
 Needed

|. Washington, July 12.-The solemn cere- monfal of impeachment of Judge Robert " Archibald of the commerce court in ly upon the preference expressed by the accused jurist.
 At least majority of the republican senators prefer to postpone the formal proceedings until cooler weather, mean time allowing both cne House. which adopted the articles of impeachment with but one dissenting vote, and the coun- sel for defense, ample time for prepara- tion The democratic senators are more disposed to favor earlier action, but both sides agreed today that Judge Archibald s preference should be given serious con sideration.
 The differing contentious for immediate hearing and for postponement until next autumn probably will be fought out on the floor of the Senate.
 Official impeachment papers. pre- pared by the House employees managers pared by the House employees today will be perfunctorily submitted to the Senate as soon as that body disposes of the Lorimer election case. Then the prosecuting managers. headed by Chairman Clayton of the House judiciary committee will be es- corted by the sergeant at arms to the bar of the Senate where, In an address to the presiding officer. demand will be made that Judge Archibald be sum moned to answer to the impeachment committee of five senators will be appointed to consider the House reso- lution. This committee probably will be headed by Senator Clark of Wyoming, chairman of the judiciary committee.
 No Details Arranged
 Chief Justice Fuller administered the oaths of judges to the senators in the last impeachment. that of Judge Swayne, but If the Archibald case Is heard this summer it is not probable that a member of the supreme court of the United States will be called upon to perform this duty. The rules of the Senate provide that the presiding of ficer shall administer the oath. This was set aside in the Swayne case.
 No decision has been reached by sena- tors as to who shall preside over the Sen- ate sitting in trial. The task is labori- ous, necessitating a careful study or precedents and law. At the beginning or the Swayne trial the president pro tenn pore asked to be excused and Senator Platt was selected as president pro tenn pore while the Senate was sitting in trial. Owing to the situation in the Senate which so far has been unable to agree upon a regular president pro tempore for It's legislative session, it is probable that a senator will be chosen for the specific work of presiding while the Senate is considering the Archibald charges

'I am myself by blood half a Georgian. The brothers of my own mother served in the Confederate navy just as the kins- folk of my father served in the Union army.
 NO man has been more prominent in this movement than Judge Ben Lindsey, born In the south, whose father served in Forests cavalry. We appeal to north erners and soptherners, customers and westerners alike.
 "All I ask is that the man himself be of the right type and as an American he face in patriotic spirit, from a stand- point of one to whom all the citizens of this country are equally dear, the great and vital issues which now concern all the American people alike. And I do not care rap where he was born. I feel very strongly that we have now reached the point where all of us alike, wherever we dwell, can treat the memory of the great deeds of the men who wore the blue and the great deeds of the men who wore adherence to the right as each side saw the right shown by both sides, as making a common heritage of honor for all our people In which all our people should share. And whether a mans father wore the blue or the gray matters not to me if the man himself stands true to the great ideals which it Is imperatively nee essary that our people should translate into living acts if the plain people of this republic are really to secure the rights which our form of government was designed to secure for them"

 Against Wilson FOR BLUE AND GRAY Declares New Party Is for All True Americans, Regardless of What
 Part of the Country
 They Live In

Oyster Bay. N. Y, July 12.-A protest against any hint of seetionalism in the new progressive party was made to- day by Colonel Roosevelt who said that he did not care rap" where a man was born or whether his father wore the blue or the gray so long as he was the right type. Colonel Roose- welt was told of speech made yes terday by Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles of New York at the meeting for the organization of the new party In this state. Major General Siokles was quoted as saying Woodrow Wilson was born amid rebel surroundings and that we of the north have never been dis posed to put such a man in the White House"
 Colonel Roosevelt said he could not discuss the speech. but that it was the desire of the founders of the new party to make the movement one which would truly represent all sections of the country.
 ''The call for the progressive conven- tion," he continued, stated that this was to be a nation wide, non sectional movement free from any of the sectional or other jealousies and bitternesses of the past. In my speech at the Orchestra hall mass meeting in Chicago, in which stated I would accept the progressive nomination If rendered to me, also stated that we appealed alike to the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, and to the sons of the men who wore the blue and to the sons of the men who wore the gray.

MAY BUILD SPUR TRACK
Montesano Will Try to Get New Rail.
way Company to Run Track
Into City

Montesano citizens are hopeful of
inducing the O.-W. r. & N. company
to build a spur track from it's line
on the south bank of the Chehalis
river to the mills and into the city of
Montesano. The citizens contend that
there is a great deal of business, es-
pecially from the mills to warrant the
building of the spur, which would also
place Montesano on the line of the
new road. A committee has taken
the matter up and officials have in
vestigated the conditions and have
reported to Chief Engineer, who it is
said, has not been at his Office within
the past week.
