Accordingly President Wilson draws
out of the Chinese "dollar diplomacy
agreement, and at the same time turns
China over to the tender mcrcics of the
other five powers to that agreement.
American bankers will have nothing to
do with the SIPS, 100000 loan to China,
because they are not backed by their
government. and the other five powers
will not only take care Of that loan,
but they will take care of China in
their own way. Wherever there has
been an adjustment Of that kind, with
the United States left out, as the ad-
lustment between Russia and Japan in
Manchuria, American trade has been
obliterated. We used 10 send upwards
of S10,000.000 OF cotton goods yearly
to Manchuria; now we send practically
none. Our trade with China will be
blotted out in precisely the same way
when the contempt for "dollar diplp-
macy which has been so much de-
spsed in this country, but which is so
much exalted in Europe, has done its
perfect work.

THE EASTER FESTIVAL.

With the coming Of this morning
great Christian festival of Easter
| comes. The season of rigor and morti-
| fication is passed. Now comes the re-
lease in the magnificent Christian fes'
tival which this day brings on. I'm
the glory OF the lilies the day begins,
icnl of the resurrection of the Lord.
Gloriously, therefore. do all Christians
rejoice in the evidence furnished on
the great day of which this is the an
niversary, of the truth of ''the resur.
rection and the life. And so. nothing
typical of the Christian faith and be.
lief than Easter and its meaning. All
over the Christian world this is the
day OF days for Christian reunion. for
Christian .ioyousncss. for Christian
happiness and peace, and The magnlfi
cent upbnilding Of Christian hope in
the immortality of the soul aud the
continuance of life after tho grave.
All nature puts on at this season
the signs of terminated vitality, and
the typical features Of the day are
all symbolica1 of the idea of the res
direction Of life after the period of
extinction, or death. Well it is that
the people Of the earth have this hope,
and that they typify it in their lives
this day through the remembrance of
the life, the work, and the resurrection
Of the Lord.
The coming Of Easter this year is
almost as early as it is possible for
Easter TO come Only once in hun.
dred years has Easter come earlier in
the year than it comes today. In 1918
Easter came on March 22nd, which
was practically the dividing line. and
as early as possible for it to come. Ii
an earlier day could be theoretically
wrought out, it would practically
amount to an infringement beyond the
line, postponement for month of
the Easter festival. During the past
century Easter came early as follows:
In 1918, March 22nd; in 1s45, March
23rd; in 1856, March 23rd; in 1913,
March 23rd. But Easter will not come
again as early as it does today during
the present century. The nearest ap-
proach to this early day will be In
1910, when Easter will come on March
Gath; but in no other year in the pres
ent century will it come a searly as
that.
1t is the day Of the grandest hope
for mortality. 1t is the central and
vital hope of the Christian world, that
centers around the observance of this
day. And so it will be observed every
where among Christian peoples as the
great day, typical Of the resurrection,
and so of the immortal hope Of man

interference with the payments for
street paving that are extended over a
period of ten years from the time that
the street-paving or sidewalking is put
iu To interfere with these payments
at the present time is in effect an eff
fort to destroy the obligations of CON
tracts and to impose upon those least
able to pay. additional burdens that
arc clearly oppressive, 1t interferes un'
fairly with the conditions under which
the paving was petitioned for, con
tracted for, and put in. 1t is pointed
out fairly that the provision requiring
the closing Of the account yearly and
carrying forward the balance due is
compounding the interest as against
the property owner who is unable TO
pay save in yearly installments. But
at present the property owner carries
his deferred payments along at seven
per cent interest, and this interest is
simple interest. not compound interest.
There is no reason why the compound
ing Of interest in any form should be
tolerated or carried in any bill.
1t is unfortunate that the Legislature
saw fit to incorporate in the street in.
tersection paving bill propositions of
this kind, which are utterly foreign to
the purpose of the bill, and which In
themselves are so Objectionable. No
proposition to compel local property
owners to care for storm foods or
to require property owners to pay
interest compounded on deferred
payments for street paving could
for one moment have carried In
the Legislature. 1t was only by tack
ing these propositions on bill that
was fair and evidently popular, that
they had the slightest chance Of pass
ing, and they passed unnoticed, without
the slightest strength in themselves, but
merely because they were supposed to be
unimportant, and therefore attracted
no attention. Tt would be mercy if
the constitutional provision requiring
but one subject to be dealt with in any
given statute were better enforced, and
the Legislature were given notice every
time that it assemblies that unless the
legislation is confined in that direction,
treating of but one subject in any one
bill, the bill would be vetoed A notice
Of that kind would help legislation in
this State very much, and it would also
be an excellent notice for the executive
of every State to give to its Legisla-
ture

NEW VIEW ON CANAL PROTEST

There has been great deal said
pro and con about the Panama canal,
about the exemption OF American
coastwise shipping from tolls on that
canal, about our obligations to Great
Britain with respect to the Clayton
Bulwer treaty and the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, and all the rest Of the points in
the tangle. It has been reserved for
an Englishman, Mr., T. Baty, who Is D.
C. L. Of Oxford, LII. D. OF Cambridge,
Whewell Scholar OF International Law
at Cambridge, and a member OF the
International Law Association of Lon
don, to present new view altogether
which would be complete release OF
the United States from all obligations
toward England with respect to the
Panama canal.
Mr.. Baty argues that neither the
C1ayton-Bulwer treaty nor the Hay
Pauncefote treaty has any application
whatever. to the Panama canal. He
argues that the Clayton -Bulwer treaty
specifically and definitely applied only
to Central America He says that Cen
trail America was at the time of the
ratification OF that treaty not a loose
and vague term, but a perfectly well.
defined term, meaning definitely the
territory Of what was formerly the
Republic Of Central America; that is,
the present states Of Guatemala, Hon.
duras, Costa Rica, Salvador, and Mic
aragua. Panama formed no part of the
Republic of Central America, and the
treaty had no relation whatever to
Panama. The canal route contemplated
was clearly the route through Nicara-
qua.
Mr. Baty admits that the treaty
Hcontains some vague expressions of a
mutual desire to extend the system Of
equal rights to any interoceanic ca
nal;" but as to the extension of that
system. the means and words, in fact
the whole idea, was hazy and unde-
fined "The surrender of the Mos.
quito claims,' says Mr.. Baty, "could
not apply in the case of a Panama ca.
nal as it did in the case of Nicara.

Mr.. Baty argues that 1t was still
with the Nicaraguan roete in view that
the HayPauncefote treaty was substi-
tuted for the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.

The producers of lead and zinc in

needs of the State are, but a great
deal remains to be done in tho short

mittee On statistics has addressed
communication to the producers, en-
closing blanks to be filled out and pro.
ducers are urged to fill these blanks
and return them to the secretary with

most Importance, and producers should

During the past week, stock market

public to enter the buying side, and

OUR DOLLAR DIPLOMACY

1t appears that "dollar diplomacy"
is the pet aversion Of Mr.. Bryan, our
present Secretary OF State, and that so
far as China Is concerned, ut least. and
probably In other cases also, HdoIlar
diplomacy" will be abandoned by
this country. The statement made by
President Wilson with regard to the
relations between this country and the
Central and South American republics
appears to tend to the same purport.
"Dollar diplomacy Is to be aban.
doned, and our treaties with Nicaragua
and Honduras, based upon "dollar di-
plomacy," are to be relegated to the
waste basket.
But what is "dollar diplomacy?"
The readiest example of it is to be seen
in the matter of Santo Domingo. That
alleged republic owes large sums of
money to European creditors, These
creditors were about to swoop down
upon the country and take possession
Of it. The United States intervened,
and by treaty with Santo Domingo took
charge of its custom house, and upon
a fair adjustment of the public debt
of Santo Domingo, American officials
are applying the customs revenues there
successfully, to meet the interest on the
debt of that country providing a sink
ing fund tn meet the principal when
due, and there is still surplus ample
to meet the proper expenditures Of the
~
the European creditors would have
taken possession of the country, and
they would never have let 90. "Dollar
diplomacy in Santo Domingo is keep

maintaining the Monroe doctrine. But
without "dollar diplomacy Sauto Do.
mingo would have become a prey to
European creditors and never would
have been able to resuscitate itself.
Again, we made treaties with Mica.
ragua and Honduras whereby those
countries could be strengthened by the
support of the United States. loans to
be made on terms that were accept.
able to Nicarauga and Honduras, but
the treaties have been absolutely neg.
lected by the Senate, which was APP
parently frightend by the "dollar di-
plomacy" cry. These also were treat
les of "dollar diplomacy Because
the Senate did not ratify the treaty
with Nicaragua, there was an uprising
in that country and the United States
had to interpose, by the invitation of
the government, to protect the property
and lives of foreigners. Honduras is
in constant state of unrest by reason
Of the neglect Of those treaties. Sec
retary Knox secured the consent of
creditors In the case of Nicaragua to
cut down the debt of that country
fifty per cent. He also secured a seal
ing of the Honduras debt amounting
to ninety per cent, so that Nicaragua
now, under the adjustment of her debt,
owes only half as much as she did, and
Honduras little over one-tenth of the
debt that was held against her. These
are triumphs Of "dollar diplomacy"
which are Of the highest international
service, and in which the United States
was able to lend helping hand to her
neighbofs. But "dollar diplomacy -
has come to be term Of contempt.
