A LOCAL CONFIRMATION.

Rev Charles J, Maxfeld, n Baptist
missionary for nine years in the islands
Of Negros, Philippines, confirmed in his
talk AT the Utah State Baptist convcn-
tion the published reports Of the exist
cnce Of slavery in the Philippines. He
says that the government is doing
something, but not much, for the extir.
patton Of that evil custom, of which he
gave q sample where he was able to
free girl from her hopeless enthrall-
ment. 1t is to be noted in this con-
nection that as much disguise as posi-
bic is thrown around this practice, and
often, as in the act of Delegate Quezon,
when Dean Worcester made known the
existence Of slavery in the Philippines,
the most sturdy and persistent denials
were made that slavery Of any sort ex-
lists in the Philippines, One difficulty
therefore, Of the governments dealing
with the evil is apparent, especially
to the people OF this State, who are
conversant with the obstacles thrown
in the way and the poor progress made
in the governments dealing with the
Htwin rehc' in Utah.

VOTING IN HOLLAND.

There have been hints in the dis.
patches from The Netherlands that
there is a suffrage agitation on in Hol
land that is making considerable head
way. The latest advices indicate that
the Queen Of Holland has come to the
conclusion that manhood suffrage
should be extended, and that women
also should be allowed to vote, Hol
land wants neither such a political
strike as paralyzed Belgium some
months ago, nor any such militant cam.
paign as has put English officialdom
to its wits to deal with it,
The suffrage is enjoyed in Holland
now by male citizens twenty-five years
of age who pay direct State taxes, of
even small amount, Those who can
prove that they are householders OF

terms, OF that they are owners of
boats of not less than twenty-four tons

MORE DOLLAR DIPLOMACY.

The dispatches have told Of an in.
surrection in Santo Domingo which
threatened to be a calamity. They
have also told in general of the action
OF our administration with respect TO
that insurrcction The full story ap-
pears to be that on the outbreak of
that iusurrection, word was sent by
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
TO the insurrectlouaries that they must
not, under pain of being crushed by
the United States. undertake TO med
die with the San DOMINICAN custom
houses, or in any way with tho foreign
trade Of Santo Domingo. They were
notified also that they would not be
recognized, even though they won, and
that the United States would refuse to
pay over to them any portion Of the
custom receipts which are being honest
ly and regularly collected by the rep
resentatives Of this country in charge
Of the custom houses under the terms
Of the treaty OF 1907. Under that
treaty the United States guarantees
the collection of the customs dues in
the ports of Santo Domingo The op-
GRAFTON Of that treaty has been such
that the agents Of the United States,
in the first place, scaled down the
amount of the foreign debt about 60
per cent, bringing it down to the basis
of actual debt. in the place Of mere
fanciful claims. The honest collection
Of the customs dues has enabled the
American officials in charge Of the Gus
tom houses to meet the interest on the
bonds, and pay off a considerable por-
tiop of the foreign debt az adjusted,
and at the same time these agents
have paid over for the maintenance Of
the government Of Santo Domingo
about 80 per cent Of the customs re-
ceipts, which has been sufficient to
keep that government alive.
The control OF the custom houses
has been the great desideratum in all
Instructions in Santo Domingo, as i'll
a number of the Latin-American Repub-
lies. But when the United States no.
titled the insurrectionists in Santo Do
mingo that it would not recognize them
even if they won, that it would not
pay over to them any OF the custom
receipts, and that if they bothered the
American officials there the United
States would intervene, the revolution
lost heart and faded away.
But what a spectacle to see an ad-
which was SO virtuously
indignant at the very idea of "dollar
diplomacy using that very "dollar
to an extent, ingeniousness,
and effectiveness never before under
taken by any administration Of the
United Statesi

HIS QUEER "sQUARE DEAL.

The New York Office Of the Consul
General of Colombia is sending out a
leadet which reproduccs portion Of
the address of Frank 3. Kellogg before
the American Bar Association at its
recent convention in Montreal on "1'he
Sanctity Of Treaty Obligations. The
nub Of the portion Of the address which
is thus quoted is in the following para
graph, wherein it is pointed out that
unless the United States faithfully oh
serves its treaty obligations, it can
hardly be in a position to do much in
support Of the peace movement, since
tho peace movement is especially and
basically founded upon the prevalence
Of treaties Of amity, friendship, and
good intercourse between the nations
as means Of doing away with war.
The paragraph referred to is as fol-
lows;
We can have little influence In the
great movement for world peace II we
arc ncSlectful In keeping our own treaty
obligations. for the stability Of intena-
tional law and the fiulhllment of ma
tiona obligations is as necessary TO the
peace OF the world as the stability and
maintenance of law and order is neces-
sary TO the peace and prosperity OF So
ciety.
Commenting upon this, the Consul
General says: "The United States has
not kept its treaty obligations towards
Colombia. Why not mako repara-
tioDG" The evident answer that can
be made TO that pointed query is that
Colombia puts herself in such posi-
ton that no settlement is possible on
any sort Of reasonable terms. When u
nation will undertake TO plead its moral
advantage for the purpose of robbing
another nation it puts itself out Of the
palo Of the very influence which it
seeks TO use. If Colombia would get
right down TO business and make a
square claim against the United States,
there could be some means of proceed
ure; but since Colombia refuses this
and leaves it open for her to claim not
only enormous damages by reason Of
our action in encouraging the secession
Of Panama from the Colombian repub-
lie. and since Colombian people have
gone even to the length of suggesting
that Panama should be oblitcrated as u
nation and that the region should be
restored 10 Colombia and the Panama
Canal also given over TO Colombia for
ownership and management, the situa.
tion is quite impossible.
Colombia fought off all negotiations
with the United States in the hope of
con6scating the French company s
property, for which tho United States
paid $40,000,000. The first claim that
Colombia would make against this
country would be for that $40,000,000
of which it failed to rob the French
stockholders. But, as matter of fact,
Colombia has suffered no nuch damage
as that through tho secession Of Pan
anna. even though we should admit,
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-09-26

which is not the case, that President
Roosevelt, as II high'minded interna-
tional robber, took Panama; curious
sort of thing TO claim as a "squarc
deal. - Although he said that he did,
as matter Of fact. he did not. And
yet that saying Of his gives Colombia
u foothold and advantages which she
is using for moro than their worth,
It is clear case that il rcparation
is to be made to Colombia (and few
Americans having knowledge Of the
circumstances would deny that repnra-
tion is due) that reparation would/have
to be put upon the reasonable basis Of
actual damage, in place OF an indetcr'
inmate and enormous possibility latent
in claims that in themselves are inn
possible and in part felonious.

~ upon manhood basis, without re-
gard to property qualifications; and
that she is also in favor of extending
the suffrage to women upon equal
terms This is a notable victory for
suffrage, and since the Cabinet has
expressly promised this reform, it can
be looked for with due certainty in the
not distant future.
