Pauncefote Treaty Is yoidable

Another American argument is that ow-
 ing to the acquisition by America of sov- erengDty over the canal zone, the Hay Pauncefot treaty no longer applies to it. that convention being itself Voidahe under the we'll recognized principle of ir- ternational law, which makes treaty 2
 life depend upon the continuance of the conditions upon which it Is made. Back of this contention. however. lies the dan ger of the loss Of the whole neutra iza- tion feature of the Hay -Pauncefpte treaty.
 A third argument against arbitration in this matter is found in the fact. ad- mitted in the Senate debates. that nos where 1t would be possible to secure un- biased arbitrators. because every mari time country finds it's interests in opposi- ton to the American contention of a right of discrimination in the use of the canal.
 The avenue of escape if the United States really desires to avoid arbitration fig to be found. il is declared. in Article of the Root Bryce arbitration treaty of United States Senate to take hand in the settlement of such an issue. That arr ticles makes fl prerequisite to actual arbitration that hoth sides shall conclude special agreement celning clearly the matter in dispute. And this must be ap- proved by the Senate. So that if that body takes the same view next winter of the predominant rights of America in the use of the canal, as it did last ses- sion, If may prevent arbitration by de- clining to accept any special agreement satisfactory 10 Great Britain.

ID DEPEND ON ACTION OF TIE LEGISLATURE If O'Neal Does Not Curb L. & N. Then Conner Will
 Run for Governor TAKES DINNER WITH O'NEAL'S SECRETARY Former Governor to Speak at Green yille Today and It Is Understood
 Will Sound Keynote of
 His Attitude
BY HIGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery, August (special)-on Governor o'Neal and the present legisla- ture rests grave responsibility. On the action of the chief executive and the law makers depends entirely the political des- tiny of Alabama. Former Governor Co- mer admitted as much tonight is this city
 In other words if Governor O'Neal and the legislature make laws strong enough to control the Louisville and Nashville railroad in the manner which former Gov ernor Conner believes that common car rier should be controlled. then former Governor Conner will not seek another term as chief executive of this state.
 Should a rate law be enacted and sus- tained by the courts against the attacks of the Louisville and Nashville" said Mir. Conner. there would be no reason for me to run for governor"
 To Enter Field Again
 He left the unmistakable impression that unless such developments occur he will most assuredly enter the field again.
 While in this regard Governor Conner made no statement, from what he inti- mated and left unsaid, it is taken that he does not believe that O'Neal will 'g9 after the railroads. It is naturally de- duced that he sees no other alternative than to make the race.
 MT Conner did not freely discuss the situation. "The people of the state' he was told, believe that should O'Neal and the legislature curb the railroads you would not run for governor. but for the Senate"
 Not necessarily for the Senate he re- piled, 'but in case of that action by o'Neal there would be ho reason for me to run for governor"
 MT Conner was met at the station by John D. McNeel, the confidential clerk of Governor o'Neal. They dined together It Is unknown whether or not as a re. suit of the dinner Governor Conner is more positive than ever that Governor O'Neal will not attack the railroads. No statement was issued as to what occurred, as matter of fact.
 At Greenville Today
 Mir Conner speaks at Greenville tomor- row. In addition to the Louisville and Nashville railoroad, it's president, and Judge Thomas G. Jones' the speaker will refer to other prominent people in the state, notably George " Jones, general counsel of the above mentioned railroad. and Sidney J. Bowie of Birmingham.
 From ntimations dropped by MT. Conner, his address tomorrow will be the most caustic he has ever delivered in this or any other state.

The Two Treaties

The Hay Pauneefote treaty, in its third article, declares that there shall be no discrimination against any of the nations obeying the rules of the canal and in it's fourth article asserts that no change of territorial sovereignty shall affect the obligation of America and Great Britain under the treaty
 The second special treaty that was made between the then Secretary Root and Ambassador Bryce four years ago binds each country to submit to The Hague tribunal any difference that may arise relating to the Interpretation of treaties, provided that they do not af- feet the vital interests, the independ- ence or the honor" of the parties. On its face, q British demand for arbltra- tion on such a basis is generally re- garded to be sound and beyond discus sion
 From the American viewpoint there are many loopholes for escape from the British contention and these may be expected to deVelope in the negotia- tiops.
 In the first place, it may be contended that the admission of American coast wise traffic to free passage in the canal constitutes no actual discrimination against British shipping. Existing law permits no foreign bottoms to transport American coastwise commerce and Brit ish vessels could not be employed to carry goods from New York to San Francisco through the Panama cana. even if they were completely relieved from tolls, as will be the American coasting trade. Thus, it is argued it cannot be claimed that British commerce is affected one way or another, by this favored treatment of American ships.

TO KEEP ROAD OPEN

Washington, August 29.-Rear Admiral E. H. Southerand, commander-in of the Pacific fleet, Is now in supreme command of the situation in Nicaragua. He arrived there yesterday aboard the California and remained while that vessel proceeded direct to Panama to embark the marines from the transport Prairie. Admiral Southerland mas deployed the forces along the railway line between Corinto and Managua He reported to the navy department that he intends 10 keep railway communication open be- Tween the capital and the seaport. The general tone of his two telegrams to the navy department received late today and timed at Corinto a p. m, yesterday and 3 o'clock this morning, respectively. is that the situation is less alarming.

Clark's Speech

History demonstrates beyond all ques- ton the fact that in a country whose in- stitutions are based on suffrage the gov ernment will be a government by par ties, or as MT. Speaker Cannon Is fond of putting it by majorities 1t does not make a particle Of difference whether we want 1t that way or not. that is the way it is and the way 1t always will be.
 At the present time at least five par ties are in the field with candidates for the presidency. Each of these parties has formulated and published platform of principles which it proposes to enact into law if it gets the chance.
 What Is a platform anyway It ought to be plain and honest statement of what those who make it intend 10 do it they are given the power to legislate It ought to be, not merely contrivance to get It on, but a thing to stand on after the victory is won It ought to be not merely device to use during his cam paign for the purpose of catching votes, but should set forth the serious lnten- tons of it's framers.
 Pledges made to win an election should be reglously carried out after stRe election. That is the oiils. rule. of noiitcal conduct that will do to I've by or to die by. There Is no reason why a man should be dishonest and a double dealer in politics any more than In the other relations of life.
 While the platforms discuss and refer to a multitude of things, some of great importance, all of more or less impor- tance, the American public is formed on such plan that 1t will not seriously consider more than one or two issues simultaneously. Both Governor Wilson and President Taft In their speeches of acceptance have made the tariff their chief topic of thought in the minds of the voters of the land. Colonel Roose- welt in his speeches also attaches great importance to the subject and has a plan of his own for hahdling it. All men are agreed that 1t Is question of great importance to every human being living under the flag.

WILL NOT ARBITRATE . THE CANAL MATTER Understood That Is Attitude of Administration
  ARE MANY LOOPHOLES Remission of Tolls Is No Actual Dis crimination Against English Ships-The Hay-Pauncefote
 Treaty Is Voidable
ARE MANY LOOPHOLES

Washington, August 29.-Although the state department will authorize no statement to that effect, 1t is under stood here that the administration will decline to permit the question of the right of the United States to relieve it's own shipping from tolls in the Panama |canal to go to arbitration. This posi- ton of the government 1t Is said may not be developed for some time.
 While the British protest delivered yesterday clearly intimated purpose
 to demand an arbitration in the event that more careful study of the Pana-
 ma canal toll act bore out the inn
 pression conveyed by the first reading, lthat it is in violation of the Hay Pauncefote treaty if the usual course in diplomacy Is followed there must be
 many arguments and counter arguments Submitted on both sides. before the re-
 sources of diplomacy would be exhaust ed, thus warrantlng demand for ar bitration. The British foundation for
 such demand rests upon the broad
 basis of two special treaties between America and Great Britain in addition to the great general convention creat- ing The Hague tribunal and binding
 all other parties to adjust their disputes by recourse to it's methods

Marines Needed at Leon

He said that the situation necessitates 2 force of marines at Leon and other inter- mediate places along the railway line. They will aggregate about 5000 blue ia ack- cts and marines under Commander Ter hume. Admiral Southerland has shiftd his flag to the gunboat Annapolis
 If upon the return of the California he deems such course necessary. Admiral Southerland says in his first dispatch that he will send 300 marines immediately to Managua. He has ordered the Denver to San Juan del Sur to keep open wireless communication, a sail of the land lines are interrupted. When the California re- turns with the endorsements of 750 ma rines he says that American lives and property will be entirely safe. The last dispatch was very brief and merely stated that railway and tefeeraphic communica- tion was still cut because of injury to tracks and poles.
 Admiral Southerland has ordered the collier Justin to Mare Island for coal The collier Prometheus and the supply ship Glacier are due in about five days
 Reopening by the American marines. even in temporary way of&rail and telegraphic communication between Managua and the port of Corinto was followed by the receipt of a num- Der of cablegrams in the state and navy departments from that. hotbed of trouble. Most of these relate to events that have already been briefly touched upon in the irregular advices of the last week or two. One described how Captain Terhune of the gunboat An napolis persuaded the insurgents to keep out of corinto by confronting them with two six-pound cannon mounted at the end of bridge which connects Corinto with the mainland.

 Captain Terhtene has also confirmed the reports that he had to use threats to clear the railroad for the 100 ma rines that he sent back to Managu last Monday
 Business interests of the city of Mo bile have joined with those. of New Orleans in recommending the state de- pertinent for its efforts to protect American interests in Latin America. The Mobile view was sent out in a telegram from the chamber of com merce and business league addressed to the Secretary of State. It read as follows:
 Merchants at Mobile who are inter ested in the extension of American trade in Latin American countries cor dially indorse your policy of having and keeping sufficient force in Near agua to protect American life and property there.'

Prospects Are Bright

"Democratic prospects have not been SO bright since 1892 As matter of fact they are brighter now than they were at this time in the year 1892 The reason they are brighter-that the democrats have almost certainty of winning in November--s on account of the mignifi- cent record made by the democrats of the House in the Sixty-first Congress plus the magnificent record of the democrats in the House and Senate of the Sixty second Congress.

Position of Parties

Barring for the present Colonel Roose- velt's scheme of settlement. the posi- ton of the two great parties may be sue cinctly stated in this way: The demo- crats are in favor of S tariff for rev enue only; the~republicans are in favor of q tariff for protection. Upon this ques- ton the platforms are explicit. In the tariff plank of all the democratic plat forms the idea of revenue only has been found, not always expressed in the same language, but always expressing the same idea. Likewise, the republican plat forms all declare for a protective tariff.
 Tt will be observed that both plat forms declare that the present tariff rates are too high. and ought to be re- duced, but if the tax payers really want the tariff reduced, they had better re- member what happened in very recent times. In 1908 the republicans promised to revise the tariff downward. On that promise they won. Without that prom ise they could not have won. But hav- ing won. Instead of reducing the tariff rates as they had promised to do they proceeded to increase them, and because they increased them contrary to their promise. at the election in 1910 the peo- pie elected democratic House of Rep resentatives.
 Tine democratic House proceeded with as much expedition as possible under the circumstances to pass certain tariff bills, which would have reduced the amount of money extracted from the peoples pock- cts by the tariff laws by something ap- proximating $500 O00.00J yearly. and at the same time would have provided ample revenue to run the government. for 1t should never be forgotten that where Uncle Sam gets one dollar out of the teriff system. the tariff barons get at least five. By doing so the democrats kept the faith of the people.
 things, which one of the two parties will the taxpayer believe intends to carry ont its promises made in it's platforms this year to reduce the tariff? Will the tax payers believe the party which violated its promise on this subject or VIII they believe the party which performed its promise?
 The democrats declare in favor of re- ducing the tariff gradually. so as not to disturb the legitimate business of the country for it Is a thing incredible that any sane man shofiid desire to injure-- even in the estimation of hair--any 1e 1egitimate business of the country The charge so often made by the standpat re- publicans that democrats. for soine unac- timate industries of the country Is sD as to be proof conclusive that even those who make the charge most yociferously do not believe a wotl of it.
