THE COCKTAILS CASE.

About the most pitiable exhibition
OF partisan fanaticism is the opposi-
ton OF Democratic Senators to the ap-
pointment OF Col. George w. Cocktails
to the Governorship OF the Panama
Canal zone. When the history On
the past decade Is written no name
will stand higher in II than George
W. Cocktails. He has carried through
a great work with DISTINGUISHED abil-
lily and integrity. He has had absolute
charge of the expenditure OF hundreds
OF millions OF dollars and not even
bigoted partisanship has found room
10 criticize. The building OF the
Panama Canal has been the most
stupendous industrial;work OF the ASS.
and Its success Is a triumph of Amer
lean brains, Drawn and courage. Col.
Cocktails is the logical appointee to
the new eovernorship. but the hungry
Democratic partisans in the Senate
fear even TO let one crumb OF patron.
age get away from them. Therefore
Cocktails will not be nominated TO the
Governorship of the Canal zone. and
some nondescript Democratic politi-
clan will probably succeed TO the
position and to the honor that rightly
belong TO him.

PANAMA CANAL ARBITRATION.

The Intelligencer believes that the
decision OF President Taft TO submit
the Panama canal controversy to arbi-
tration will be received with general
satisfaction. The protest recently
made by Great Britain was moderate
and reasonable and the fact Of the
matter Is that even arbitration should
not be necessary.
In 1850 the United States and Great
Britain made the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. which bound both nations no,
TO obtain exclusive control over any
Isthmtan ship canal and pledged that
the canal should be kept open on equal
terms to the citizens OF both nations.
This treaty was superseded BY the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. which gave
the United States exclusive control
OF the canal but reiterated the provi-
sion OF equal rights and extended the
same terms TO all nations using the
canal.
Since making this treaty, We have
secured ownership OF the territory
through which the canal is being con.
structed. but this fact does not nullify
the treaty because that treaty was
not based upon territorial conditions
but upon shipping conditions In pass
Ing the canal act. allowing our coast
wise ships 10 pass through the canal
free OF charge. our congress apparent
~ lost sight Of this fact.
Canadian shipping. which means
British OF course. would be consider.
ably injured by this act, for Canadian
vessels are largely engaged in coast
wise trade along both shores OF the
United States and. by the present pro.
visions OF the canal act. many of the
lines would be practically ruined.
Canadian ships. running from any
point on the Atlantic coast 10 any
point on the Pacific coast or vice
versa WOULD be compelled TO pay
*l.2O ton TO pass through the canal.
while American ships. bound for the
same points. would 20 through fee.
As natural result Canadian ships
would be forced out Of tho trade. Also.
IL our ships pay nothing. the tolls
charged all other ships must be pro-
portionately higher
The British government has cheer
fully conceded our right to fort.fy the
canal. even though the wording OF
the Hay-Pauncofote treaty was such
that a protest could have been made
on that point. Great Britain also con.
cedes our right to grant subsidies 10
ships engaged in the canal trade. but
makes the point. which certainly
seems well taken. that We have no
night TO do 50 by discriminating in
canal tolls. thus violating our solemn
agreement with another nation.

and girl who obtained a marriage H.
cense at his once through perjury.
Marriage is all right. and every one
has considerable sympathy for young
people who are in love. but deplora bic
evils may and often do arise through
violations of the legal restrictions that
have been placed around this most
sacred ceremony.
Public sentiment will hold the Office
OF Judge Nichols entirely blameless in
this unfortunate affair. County Off
Gals are not omnipotent and In the
case OF we'll developed young people.
differences in age cannot always be
readily distinguished.
After a marriage has actually taken
place. lenience is no doubt the best
public policy. Yet the cases OF ruined
lives caused by such ill-advised mar
marriages are so numerous that q, stern
example occasionally seems necessary
for the protection Of society.

Now lot US take the Republican doc
trine OF protective tariff. The stan.
dsrd definition Of this policy. known
and accepted by every American
voter. Is "A tariff rate on imported
goods high enough to protect Ameri-
can workmen and manufacturer by
eoualizing the cost OF production here
and abroad" That is, workmen are
more poorly paid In foreign countries
and II We had no tariff. foreign goods
would be sold much cheaper than the
same goods made here. Therefore,
the protective tariff is to give the
American workmen fair wages and
the American manufacturer a 1atr
profit.
Now. compare competitive tariff
with protective tariff and see IL
you can find the difference. Then,
bearing in mind that "tarifr for rev.
enue only" was the principal Demo
cratic campaign promise and that
competitive tariff is their present
program. read again that opening

stitute plans for the railroads. With one
scored they rejected the plans.
When called on repeatedly to offer
any alternative plans, with one accord
they declined to make any suggestion.
Not one railroad represented offered any
relief whatever in the way of a general
plan or otherwise. except that the Sea-
board Air Line railroad representative ex-
pressed Willingness to cooperate with
the city, in the event the city should
not insist on that part of the plan relating
to its line.
What is the result? The railroads de-
cline to do anything for the relief of the
city. The plans proposed have met with
almost universal approval Of the citizens
of Birmingham. Prominent engineers Of
the city have indorsed them, among them
being Mai. w. J. Miner. who helped to
plan the city of Birmingham and lay out
its streets and avenues. who planned the
Belt railroad and the present Birm1ng-
ham waterworks plant, and who, as an
officer of the Elyton Land company, par
ticipated in the granting by that COM
pany to most of the railroads of the city
numerous deeds in laying their lines in
the city of Birmingham Major Miner
In a letter which l hare, states that he
has carefully gone over the plans and
that he heartily indorses them. and that
they are thoroughly practical solution
of our problem.
What is to be done?' My own idea is
that the city should resort to ali possible,
feasible and legal steps to force the rail-
roads to do something, and in line with
this policy, propose beginning at an
early date to offer, from time to time
ordinances requiring the corporations con-
cerned to construct viaducts or provide
for subways, underpasses or the like,
at such points as the exigencies of the
city may demand.
IN other words, as I stated to the
engineers at the public meeting yester-
day. 1t seems that the railroads nave de-.
termined to throw the city back on its
own resources, and |, as one of the city
&C rnmissioners, propose that the city
shall exhaust every resource at its COM
mand to secure the relief that is reason

BIRMINGHAM TO GET
EDUCATORS IN APRIL
Business Mems Convention
to Be Held at Same Time
VICTORY FOR THE CITY
DIR. Thach Thinks Joint Meetings Can
Be Made of Great Importance
Both to City and
State

The Alabama Educational association
will meet here in April. This decision
has been reached by the executive COM
mittee which concluded It's work yester-
day and adjourned. After a fight of UNI
usual vigor, participated In by Mobile,
Montgomery, Gadsden and Birmingham.
this city was finally selected as the most
appropriately located place to hold the
meeting, The general opinion is that 25oC
teachers or more will come here for the
meeting. 1t was held in Mobile last year.
The executive committee has been in
session since Friday at the Hillman no
tel The committee is composed of s. r.
Butler of Madison, w. C. Griggs of Gads-
den, j. B. Brown of Dothan, DR.. Charles
c. Thach of Auburn and Dr. J. J. Doster
of Tuscaloosa.
At the meeting held yesterday several
prominent men of Birmingham appeared
and assured the executive committee that
everything possible would be done here to
take care of the gathering and every pos
sble feature of entertainment would be
provided the visitors. The representa-
tives from other Alabama cities made
similar promises, but Birmingham finally
won.
AT the meeting 1t was decided that all
the Chambers of Commerce and CONNER
cial clubs of the state would cooperate
in business mems convention to be held
at the same time. That is expected to
be the most important gathering In this
city for some time. 1t is planned to in
vite to Birmingham merchants and busi-
ness men from all over the state and have
them meet here for the purpose of outlin-
ing programme for the general good of
this state from a business standpoint. The
meeting of merchants will be held at the
same time as the teachers, and the two
gatherings are expected to bring to Bir-
mingham large number of visitors of
Importance. All of the members of the
executive committee were very much i'm
pressed yesterday with the idea of having
the merchants meeting in this city along
with the teachers, and promised to do
everything possible to make the affair a
great success.
DIR. G. c. Thach, president of Auburn is
one of the most enthusiastic men in con-
nection with the educational meeting in
this city, and the business mems conven-
tion. He said yesterday:
I cannot conceive of the good the ed
ucational meeting and the business mems S
meeting will do for Birmingham. The
meeting of the Alabama Educational as
sociation here was a distinct victory for
Birmingham, and one in which L was
deeply interested. / am certainly delight
ed over the victory of this city. The
meeting will be attended by at least 25OO
persons. and it will do great amount of
good. Held in connection with the meet
ing of business men OF this state, | be-
lieve the meeting will be of far greater
value than otherwise 1t can be developed
into huge affair From the determine
t1on of Secretary Radcliff of your Cham
Der of Commerce and others interested l
believe this will be done"
