AN ADMIRABLE CHOICE.

The country will be gratified if Mr.
Olney sees his way clear TO accept the
post of Ambassador TO Great Britain
offered to him by President Wilson.
Certainly no more suitable selection
could be made from the administra-
tons list Of eligibles. Mr.. Olney has
the character, training knowledge OF
the world and experience with foreign
relations TO qualify him eminently for
the most conspicuous place in the ior-
eign service. He is the only living
Democratic ex-Secretary of State.
Sending To London man of Mr.. Oh
ney's record and character will greatly
strengthen the belief that the new al
minlstration intends TO put capacity
aud fitness above mere partisan obliga-
lions in filing the higher diplomatic
posts. American good repute ABROAD
will he enhanced by the maintenance
of a standard OF representation at Tor
eign capitals which will command en-
tire respect professionally and person
ally. As power which shares now
more than ever in the joint concerns
of the world the United States should
employ none but its best talent in The
foreign service. Mr.. Olney's appoint
ment would he in line with that policy
and with the best American traditions
since he possesses in an exceptional
degree the qualities which are needed
10 make American diplomacy respected
and successful

And chldren's manners toward their

ton is really quite as omlnOus as is
sometimes assumed.
Take Superintendent MaxwellS re-
marks. for example, the other night

A oUICKENED CONSCIENCE.

In taking up the question whether
low wages are responsible for women
entrance into commercialiZed vice the
Illinois legislative committee may ac-
complsh few immediate practical re-
suits.
The truth is hard TO obtain. The EN-
ployers Of low paid female labor say
that wages have little TO do WIN
morals. which is natural. since they 40
not wish to have any responsibility Tor
the existing evil upon their own Sholii-
ders. The women Of the streets called
as witnesses testify that low wages
have been the chief cause OF their own
lapse. which is natural. since the!
would seek 10 offer the best excuse
possible for their plight. But what
ever the conflict in the evidence the
public will hold TO the common sense
view that insufficient wages are one
important factor driving women to the
streets.
Though the committee should hoid
this opinion its opportunity to relieVe
the situation by legislation is slight.
The minimum wage is a doubtful ex-
pedient Instead of raising the wages
of the underpaid it might have the ef-
feet Of forcing most of them out OF
employment. And any regulation OF
wages would have 10 be adopted III
full view OF the fact that the industries
likely TO he affected would have 10
bear the pressure Of competition III
states where similar humane theories
did not prevail.
The real gain from this investigation
IS the investigation itself. When the
public appoints an official committee TO
find out if wages have anything TO DO
with the lapse Of women wage earners
into vice il abandOns an age long attl-
tude of helpless acquieScence in evil
and suffering. II is no longer content
to shruc its shoulders about the "old-
est profession" and extract comfort
from the doctrine Of the inevitabllity
of human frailty. The social con
science is Quickened.
Out of such inquiries as this one IN
Chicago and the debates that VIII
spring from il will come publicity TOT
the idea that with better wages. better
living conditions. better opportunities
for harmless amusement some OF those
who 90 annually 10 the social scrap
beap could he saved. The sense OF re
sponsjbilirv. already we are glad 10
say becoming strong among employers
Of labor will be deepened. II is not
easy to see now by what practical
measures. hut some of those lost under
the present system VIII come 10 ne

THE PANAMA CANAL,
A Reader Suggests That the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty Doesn't Apply.

TO the Editor OF The Iilpune.
Sir: While on the question OF the true
construction of the terms Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty | am afraid parucl-
pate in the views entertained by most
British publicists am haunted by
serious doubt AS 10 whether the treaty
APPLIES To the Panama Canal at all.
Il was expressly and avowediy made III
substitution for the Clayton bulwer
treaty. And that treaty's definite stipd-
lations applied only To "Cen'ru America
Now, Central America was then not

fined term. III Tor use In Il formal docu-
ment. II meant the territory OF what
WAS formerly the Republic OF Central
Amerlca-that is, Guatemala, Honduras.
Costa RCa, Salvador ana Nicaragua
And Panama formed 10 part OF THIS. Ill
fact the canal route contemplated was
the Nicaraguan.
IL is true that the treaty contained some
vague expressions OF a mutual desire TO
extend the system OF equal rights to any
interoceanic canal. But The means to bt
taken for this were purposely left entirely
underlined The surrender or Mosquito
claims could not apply III the case Oh Il
Panama canal as 1t did In the case OF
Nicaraguan one. The field was left open
for bargaining.
IL was still with the Nicaragua route Ia
view that the Hay treaty was substituted
for the Clayton one. Is 1t obvious that Ii
applies TO Panama?
Mr. Blaine would not have thought so.
In his dispatch to Mr.. Lowell dated No
vember %, 1881. he states quite plainly
that 1t can hardly be a subject for discus-
sion. Article s OF the Clayton Bulwer

JUST WHAT 1T NEEDS.

Secretary Daniels had been in office
only few hours when he made the
discovery that the Navy Department
needed good advertising agent. That
discovery does credit to his news sense.
for the Navy Department Is the one
branch Of the government in which the
machinery for giving proper publicity
Ia it's own operations Is deplorably an
tiquated and inefficient. As The Trib-
une has many times pointed out, the
people really want news about the de
partment'S activities. but there has
been a remarkable lethargy in pre-
pairing it and getting it out.
Every other department publishes re-
ports, registers and similar pamphlets
covering the work II does. But the
few naval issues which appear are
more or less out of date or contain
material merely for the benefit Of the
naval personnel. 1t is impossible to
get list, for instance, giving the
names of the officers in the various
grades in the order of their appoint
ment, and the only published list OF
ships available is likely TO be two or
three years old. When The Tribune
Almanac applied last fall for a table
Of the officers in the grades Of adj
miral. captain, commander and lieu
tenant commander, it was told that
such information could be furnished
only by clerks working after hours,
who would have to be paid for their
trouble. Secretary Meyer courteou jly
reversed that surprising ruling, but the

COMETS JAIL DELIVERY.

Secretary Bryan is promptly con-
fronted with a delicate and important
problem of a peculiarly unwelcome
kind in the purpoSed Jail delivery by
The outgoing Cuban administration.
We speak of il as the act OF MI.
Gomez and his administration. rather
than Of Cuba. for we have no IDEA
that it is desired OF approved by CUBA
as Il whole. IT is certainly not ap-
proved by the incoming government OF
that country. which may fairly be re-
garded as more representative OF pub
lie opinion than its moribund prede-
cessor. But whoever is responsible for
il. it is a ScandalOus performance
Amnesty to purely political offenders
might be cOmmendahle. \ general jail
delivery Of thugs thieves and crooks
cf all kinds would be an intolerabl
mocking of Justice and menace to law
and order at any time. Ii reaches It's
highest power of mischief when il is
timed TO become effective just al the
change Of administration.
This latter circumstance suggests
the motive Of the act. 1t Is apparently
twofold. In part it is 10 embarrass the
incoming administration in Cuba by
turning loose some thousands Of Grim
inals for il TO hunt down and bring to
Justice again. 1t is also in part 10
shield from merited prosecution and
punishment lot Of crooks who have
been nefariOusly operating under the
shelter of the outgoing government
by giving them sort Of immunity
bath in advance.
Our government is. of course. well
within its treaty rights. and within the
provisions Of the Cuban constitution.

not want to intervene in Cuba again,
