A demand for the abrogation of two
treaties with Great Britain bearing on
isthmian canal rights was presented
to the senate this week in a resolu-
ton offered by Senator Chamberlain.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
lnter-oceanic canal committee, in
dorsed the principle. Senator Cham
berlain's resolution said Senator
O'Gorman, sis q more concrete state
ment of the position took at the last
session. that IL the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty justif1es Great Britain in maxi
Ing the protest now before our gov
eminent, then it would be we'll IL
means could be had Of abrogating the
treaty."
In other words, if any former
treaty between England and the
United States can be construed as
giving England power to dictate in
our domestic affairs it is time that
such a treaty were abrogated.

the border and the general impression
appeared to be that it would only be
a short time before the Mexican states
adjacent to the United States would
ask for annexation. The chaotic con-
dition in Mexico, however, is much
worse than is generally believed by
those who are so remote from the cen

ton and uprisings and establishment
of stable government in Mexico is
looked upon with very grave doubts
by those who are familiar with the
character and calibre Of the average
Mexican citizen. They are a simple
minded people, easily swayed and in
fuenced to betray their friend with
absolutely no initiative and it will
take many generations before they can
be relied on to abide by an established
government conducted upon the lines
of equity which an American citizen
would demand. 1t is undoubtedly true
that they nave been unjustly burdened
with taxation and the resources of
their country exploited by unscrupu-
lous off1ce-holders, but the official who
rules with an interruptions conscience
and an iron hand appears to. be the
only kind who can succeed in that
country at the present time.
Most of the Americans and quite d
few of the Mexicans have moved to
the United States awaiting settlement
Of hostilities.
Monterey, which was quitel an AM
erican city, has lost Its entire Ameri-
can population which formerly num-
bered 10000. Many of those engaged
in business at that place were COM

THE SPEED MANIA.

The first crop of spring is crop of
automobile accidents. It is only a few
days since the weather became fine
enough so that automobile traffic
could be resumed and already several
deaths and more accidents have been
reported in Minneapolis and st. Paul,
Ihoroushfares that tempt all indulg-
ence in speed and powerful engines
ready to respond to the impulse Of
reckless drivers have been responsible
for most Of these tragedies.
The sad fact about automobile acct
dents is that pedestrians who are in
no way responsible have to suffer and
die with those who, if they had been
watchful and careful. might have
avoided trouble The man without an
automobile and the man with an auto
| mobile who handles it with care and
takes every precaution to avoid acct
dents, may not be subject to the same
risks as those who cannot control the
impulse to throw on the power; but
they, nevertheless. are subject to seri
GUS risks on account of the imprud-
ence of the latter.
Reports of the output of automobile
FACTORIES show that there is rapid
increase in the number of machines
sold yearly. 1t is safe to assume that
the number of accidents increases in
more rapid ratio than the number
Of machines. If this be true, what is
going to happen few years hence
when machines. assuming the increase
will continue, will be more plentiful
than they are now?
There is no dearth of speed LAWS de.
signed to reduce the possibility of ac-
cidents. But how are they obeyed and
enforced? Not one driver in a. dozen
ever thinks of the speed laws when lie
comes to busy crossing. Ii he slows
down the chances are it is because his
! course is blocked so completely that
! he doesn't see way OF getting by
and not because he remembers there
is an ordinance requiring him to run
at II lower speed than at other places
Accidents are therefore not as likely
to occur at the busy places as on
streets where the traffic Is lighter. 1t
Is when the driver is speeding along
unmindful of the fact that sometime
may suddenly intercept his course that
the most disastrous accidents occur
If the speed maniacs would allow for
such possibilities and be governed ac-
cordingly there would be less deaths
from automobile collisions.
There is no preventative but eau
ton. The officers of the law ought to
see to it that the laws are obeyed at
all times, regardless Of the street or
the occasion. The time to arrest a
driver is not when he kills or Injuries
someone. He ought to he arrested ev-
cry time he exceeds the limit fixed by
law. Give the speed maniacs a few
straight workhouse sentences and they
will soon learn to practice caution.
