THE PANAMA CANAL CONTRO-
NERSY,

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-The British Journals comment
with some acerbity on the passage OF
the Panama canal act, giving Ameri-
can coasting vessels the right 10 pass
through the canal without paying any
toll The journals, with few exc, y
tiOns. aver that this law violates the
provisions Of thea Hay Paurc tote
treaty. Tie European newspapers al
50 sheer at Yankee cunning The
charge that the American Congress
and PRESIDENT have knowingly violated
a solemn treaty is a grave one. If it
be true, ii were far better that the
Congress had not passed such bill
ard that good faith and liberal inter-
probation OF a treaty are better than
any commercial advantage resulting
from its violation. 1t is highly prob
able. though nOt certain, that when
this treaty was ratified the British
people thought that all vessels of any
nation, cOasting or otherwise, should
pay the same toll. 1t would seem to
be true that if Congress had passed Il
law antedatlng the present, one which
made both coasts come under the rule
of the coasting trade, and that vessels
going from the Atlantic to the Pacific
or vice versa would come under the
rule of American coasters, then there
could have been no objection to the
present law. Comments from leading
European journals rejecting upon the
integrity and good faith Of the. United
States is. likely to hurt the pride of
patriotic Americans.
To understand the subject in all of
its bearing, brief historical eXposi-
ton of how the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
was made is of first Importance.
After the acquisition of California
by the United States, and the discOv-
cry of gold, the thrush of population
was very great. The isthmus of Pam
anna was ayailed of by immigrants and
vast numbers passed from the Allan
tic to the Pacific by that route. In.
December, 1846, treaty was ratified
between the United States and New
Granada, which gave the right of
transit over the isthmus from the
one to the other sea-" guaranteed by
both of the contracting powers. Under
security of this treaty, citizens of the

THE CASE OF MORSE

Charles W. Morse the New York financier
who was convicted of violating the national
banking laws and sentenced to fifteen years i'm
prisonment, is free, after about two years act
ually behind the bars. Pardoned by President
Taft on the sworn statement of'Surgeon general
George NJ. Toney, chief of the bureau of medi:
cine and surgery of the army, that he could not
live more than one month in confinement and
probably not.six even if liberated, Morse became
we'll enough in two months to take up active bus
mess life again. His latest feat has been the
promotion of big steamship line
Some of the country's papers, particularly
the anti-Taft press, find in Morse's sudden re-
turn to health subject for editorial attack on the
former ''ice-king". A clamor has even arisen
that some means be found to send him back to
the penitentiary at Atlanta.
1t is probably trueNthat Morses present ca
reer is not much of warning to criminals of
sbig business But as for Morse, nothing could
be accomplished now by assailing him person
ally. His term in the penitentiary probably has
had all the effect of fifteen years of durance
why should society seek to destroy him phys-
. cally? He has forfeited his citizenship. He is
a man without a country.
The seriousness of the Morse case lies not III
the freedom of the man himself, but in the con-
dition of affairs which allowed him to gain that
freedom The clamOr of the public is natural
though somewhat msdirected. Was Morse so
i'll that the surgeon generals verdict was cor
rect? Is the surgeon general an expert Or a fig
Jre-head? If Morse's illness was exaggerated,
what we're the influences that gained him his
freedom? These are the questions that should
be asked, and answered

UNFAIR TO THE WORKERS

Some weeks ago this paper had occasion to
comment upon the widespread feeling that
brutal injustice is being done the working class
of Lawrence, Mass, in the imprisonment of two
strike leaders, Ettor and GiOvanitt on charges
of alleged dynamite "pIanting'' Events of the
past three or four days amply bear out the fore
cast that unless law took different and more
equitable course in the Massachusetts town, the
working people would adopt methods of profess
likely to lead to violence
EttOr and GiOvanittihave been held in jail
with the death of woman whose injury was re-
ceived in the midst of wild mob of strikers and
police Officers. These two men, agitatOrs though
they are, have certainly been denied educ process
of law. William NJ. Wood, the wealthy wool
manufacturer recently indicted for alleged con-
spiracy against the strikers and suspected of
having framed the whole dynamiting "layOut".
was arrested and Immediately released on $1,000
bail. The case against the strike leaders was no
more definite than that against Wood. They
are admitted to have been miles from the spot
where the woman was injured - -"
This Massachusetts, case is more than local
in its effects The long imprisonment without
trial of the two men has seemed to the Lawrence
mll-toilers to be proof that their leaders are be-
ing crushed under cold and greedy capitalistic
law. Such is probably not the case. But at any
rate, Massachusetts should have brought the
men to trial months ago and settled their guilt
or innocence then 1t is no wonder that Amer
leans are calling for judicial reform.

CANAL DEfENSES

European criticism Of Uncle Sans plans for
the military defense of the Panama canal and
the canal zone have drawn forth vigorous replies
from army engineers, who point "ut that some
of the ablest experts of the present generation
planned the defenses and that the scheme has
been worked out over a period of five years.
The Notifications on the Pacific side were
planned by the ableSt minds i'll the army and
navy. The Joint board, composed of half dozen
of the ranking officers of both services first
made a careful study Of the military and naval
nroblems involved nearly five years ago. The
tentative plans then laid were placed in the
hands of experts, including Gen. Crozicr, chief
of army ordnance; Col. Goethals, the canal

However. as the matter at that time

the United Staets agreed to a treaty
with Great Britain which provided
that, if trans-isthmian canal were
to be built by way of Greytown and
Lake Nicaragua there should be a
joint government of the canals man
agement. The objects of this treaty
were never effected, and, therefore,
the treaty was void or voidable at any
time that the United States might de-

the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. 1t would

States denounced this treaty, as she
had a right to do, any difficulty there
after would have been avoided. 1t
will be readily seen that the digging
of the canal at Panama was an en-

through Nicaragua, that having ceas-
ed to exist as feasible route How
ever, this historical aspect of the case
does not warrant the United States in
violating either openly or tacitly a.

the case. cannot help but think,
however, that, were the matter sub
mitted to The Hague, it would be de-
cided in favor of the United States.

A sure sign that we are on the eve of big

by the big liquor interests. Every newspaper
has this experience. This year, owing to prohi.
bills pending in Congress affecting the liquor
industry, the documents, pamphlets and maya.
zines are particularly numerous. One of the
oldest and simplest bats set is the carefully
prepared editorial matter, written by paid press
agents for the liquor men in the hope that it will
catch some unwary editor who will reprint the
sentiments as his own.
