interference by any nation as to what
I the United States government shall do
with the canal, through its own terri
tory, built by its own money, would
be interference in its domestic con-
Germs, and limitation on its complete
sovereignty. 1t is to be hoped, if a
fair construction of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty limits this power and this
sovereignty, a friendly negotiation
may eliminate such an idea. A treaty
that has a shade of apparent limita-
ton of a nations sovereignty, and
that may work against the real inter-
eSts Of the nation, may, if no friendly
arrangement can be made, be de-
nounced. This is a welI-recognized
principle between nations, and has
been acted upon many times in the
past.

NJ. NJ. SCOTT.

The first and also the second Hay
, PauncefOte treaties contained stipula-
tons that were quite preposterous. We
had already proceeded very far with
our plans for constructing cana!
without the slightest reference to the
so-called Clayton-Bulwer treaty of
1850. That treaty had never gone into
effect, and had been regarded by all
American authorities for more than a
generation as non-eXistent, except in
the historical sense. Nor had there
been any attempt on the part of Great
Britain to bring that lapsed and ex-
tinct convention into force. The Brit
lsh government had not questioned our
right to exercise full sovereignty over
a strip OF territory which we might, as
a government, require either in Mica,
ragua or on the lSthmus of Panama. 1t
remained for new American secre-
tary of state, as a matter of personal
initiative, to revive the old Clayton
Bulwer treaty and project it across the
path of our legislative program as re-
spects the canal We had negotiated
for a canal zone in. Nicaragua. and
we're completing the passage of the
Hepburn bill authorizing the construc-
ton of a canal. All this was going for
ward with England's hearty good wish
cs, and with the full understanding
! that no obstruction would come from
any European sources, when there
suddenly appeared the first Hay
Pauncefote treaty, every line of which
was written by our own representative.
This treaty assumed that we could not
construct this government work upon
our own soil without Englands con-
sent, and that we ought not to ask
such consent unless We should re-
nounce every special benefit and adj
vantage in the use of the canal, and
should also confer upon the maritime
powers of Europe its full political and
military control.
Lord PauncefOte declared privately,
before his death, that neither he nor
his government had ever thought of as,
sorting any such claims, and that the
entire instrument was a voluntary Of
fering of the American Secretary of
state. There is no explanation, except
that truth is stranger than fiction, and
that in craftsmanship the most absurd
things are sometimes the hardest to de-
feat. The senate supposed that Mr.. Hay
was engaged in a mere. formality, and
that it had seemed to him a matter of
politeness to abrogate the Clayton
BulWer treaty in writing. although
American presidents and secretaries Of
state had repeatedly declared that no
such treaty was in force. 1t was diff
ficult to persuade the senator's to read
the first Hay-PauncefOtC treaty. Nat
urally, when they discovered its con-
tents they amended it MAJ erially.
There followed, after an interval, the
second -PauncefOte treaty. Mr..
Hay was reluctant. but was COnStraln-
ed to permit the United States 10 eXer-
else a certain measure of political and
military control over the canal. He
was, however, still determined that as
respects all its practical uses, the other
maritime powers should have exactly
the same advantages as if the canal
were their own.
1t should have been obvious to Sen
ators that there was no reason for dis
GUESSING canal tolls at that time, in

ton from which can now. be plainly

experts who have for years watched

that the marked decrease in the

a few months ago by a party of pc

WHY NOT GIVE THE FARMERS
ELECTRIC POWER

At the different projects construct
ed by the government reclamation
service a great amount OF electric
power is developed. At present the
policy of the bureau is to rent this
power to private companies who in
turn sell it to the consumers. In a
letter addressed to The Tribune in
reply to an inquiry as to the present
policy of the bureau in regard to this
matter Mr.. c. J. Blanchard, Statisti-
clan of the Interior Department
says:
"The Service has rented excess
electric power under the Salt River
irrigation project and is also leasing
power not needed for irrigation pur-
poses on the Strawberry and Mimi
doka projects. 1t is probable that
this policy will be continued under
various projects where power is de-
veloped in excess of that required for
building and operating the irrigation
system"
It seems that steps should be taken
so that this excess power might be
delivered to the farmers living under
government projects at actual cost.
Every day the use of electric power
on farms is becoming more general.
The uess to which such power can be
put are innumerable. All the avail
able power developed can be used by
the farmers if it is delivered to them
cheap enough. Instead OF letting
private company make a profit from
power developed at plant paid for
by the farmers why not let them have
the use of the power? The individual
farmer should pay for the cost of de-
livery and the maintenance of the
power lines, and a sum sufficient to
ultimately pay the cost of construct
ing the power lines and his proper
ton of the cost of the plant. 1t
would not be just to charge the full
cost of the power plant and power
lines to the entire project because it
would be impractical to deliver power
to every farmer throughout the pro-
ject. Those who received the benefits
would pay the cost This policy would
encourage the development of all the
power possible and give to the far
mers direct the benefit of cheap pow
er for all purposes. No private COM
pany is going to rent or lease power
unless it can dispose of it at profit
Why not give that profit to the far
mers in the shape of cheap electric
power?

THE OBSERVATORY,

Last week I wrote "birch-bark,"
but the typo got it "birth-bark,"
something which | never saw, ito the
best of my knowledge and belief" as
| have heard witnesses say in court
| referred to the outer bark of the
graceful white birch, which grows to
perfection on the rocky soil of New
England and Canada. Next the wood
of the tree is brittle layer of bark,
much like the hbrous board used
sometimes on house walls; this is yell
low; next it is the white covering
which can be peeled off in sheets, and
is that which the Indians use for ca
noes; it is soft and limp when taken
off and seems to have grown in many
layers, for it can be split many times,
reminding one of mica in that re-
spect; and the youth often make books
of it, its leaves taking both ink and
pencil readily A sharp knife making
slit down the trunk OF tree, and
carefully starting the edge of the bark
along this slit, and one can peel off a
sheet from around the tree, almost
any length, if there are no knots or
limbs in the way. 1t has some oil
in its composition, and when dry will
light and burn easily, and is much
used for kindling by those who have
it in their wood-lots. To make good
hrewood each stick must be split for
drying; otherwise there will be mold
and decay, as the barks are air-tight

| has at the present time, SO long as
there are capable men in he north
willing to fill these positions. Hence
the object of the partisans OF Senator
Brady is to find north Idaho man
for governor. By creaing the impress
sion that Governor Haines will have
strong opposition in his own section
of the state northern candidates will
be encouraged. This was the idea in
suggesting the name of Senator d. w.
Davis OF American Falls. Neither the
friends OF Senator Brady nor the
friends of Mr.. Davis seriously con-
slider him available at the present time.
After Senator Brady is successfully
reelected Senator Davis may become
available. In that event it will be well
for Senator Borah to attend to his
knitting, because then the successor to
Senator Borah should come from the
north. The whole discussion at the
present time is for he purpose Of
providing for an equitable distribution
of the Offices along the line of giving
the north the governor and leaving
the senatorship where it is.
The plan is 2cry good one and il
illustrates tie skl.l and sinesse of the
supporters of Senator Brady. At the
primary election the placing of these
two offices will depend upon two
things. If the people are more great
ly concerned with the work of Sena-
tor Brady in Washington than they
are in Governor Haines in Boise, the
whatever may become of the Govern
or. Contrariwise the opposite will oc-
cur. The second thing upon which
the result will depend is the feeling
of the north. In case north Idaho can
get together on one or the other Of
fee she will get it. Of course she
may get both, but it is certain that
the united demand OF north Idaho for
one or the other Office will be granted
w
would north Idaho rather have? We
imagine that they will take the sena-
torship first and the governorship af-
forwards if possible. Between now
and the election it will be the purpose
of all Brady supporters to convince
the north that she wants the govern.
orship. At the same time the support.
ers of Haines will attempt to show
the same section her needs of the SEN
atorship. The average man can figure
and guess to suit himself. Appar
emily things are moving along in theil
regular order both at Washington
and Boise. The people may decide
to retain both Brady and Haines, ane
then again they may not. 1t ma,
come to pass that it will make yer,
little difference who the Republican
nominate, as there is some chance o
the Democrats succeeding to powe
in this state at the next election.
