Washington, June 27.-Robert Scott

that a long continued and deter

Mr.. Lovett had no information as

G. o. P. IS ENDORSED
ADOPTS TAFTs NIcARA-
GUAM CANAL POLICY.
President Shows Improvement Over
Last Democratic Predecessor
Policy Seeks to Avoid
Controversies.

In adopting President Taft's Mica
ragua canal route policy and striving
to push it to consummation President
Wilson shows great improvement over
his last Democratic predecessor. 1t
will be recalled that Mr.. Cleveland
disapproved and attempted to annui
the otherwise unbroken policy of "a
canal under American control" He
would have abhorred the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, and would austerely have
condemned that principle of exclusive
American authority at Panama which
is now so vigorously upheld by Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike.
Mr.. Wilson takes the broader view.
He not only agrees with Mr.. Hoyes'
dictum. that "the policy OF this eoun-
try is canal under American con-
troll" but he also logically upholds the
wider intimation that IAN interocean-
ic canal by any route across the Amer
lean isthmus" must be under our ex-
elusive control. Obviously, the part
Of prudence. to avoid possible erlbar-
easements and controversies and the
unpleasant possibility of having TO
read the international riot act, is for
this country to secure Ia advance an
option on or other recognized control
Of the other very few practicable
canal routes across the isthmus.
That was Mr.. Taft's wise policy in
negotiating with Nicaragua and Co
lombia. and 1t is gratifying to find Mr.
Wilson following in his course, and
not, as there is reason to fear that
Mr.. Cleveland did, making change in
domestic politics occasion for reversal
Of foreign policies. 1t is always de-
sirable to maintain, IL possible. con-
.!uuity and integrity of policy in ex-
ternal relations. 1t is prominently
desirable so to do when that policy
IS as sound as that concerning the
isthmian canal and other canal routes

Bryan at the Plum Tree.

Knowing that the nomination of the
sditor of the Commoner, Mr.. Richard
zee Metcalfe, to the post of civilian
member of the Panama Canal board
would bring forth criticism upon him
self, the secretary of state has doubt
ess fortified himself with enough in
sulnerability to withstand the charge.
But the question of how Mr.. Bryan
cakes the criticism is not the impor-
sant fact, it Is that the public should
have its attention drawn to an in
stance of feathering the nest Of a
friend and business associate.
While Secretary Garrison points out
that the appointment Of Mr.. Metcalfe
will not necessarily place him at the
head OF the civil government of the
zone, the fact favors his designation
at the end of the service of the pres
ent administration whose term of
service will doubtless be continued
until the completion of the canal 10
months hence
When the canal has been completed.
tested and used sufficiently to make
sure that all difficulties have been
cleared away. the appointment of Mr..
Metcalfe as civil governor will be in
the order of things, as Secretary Gar
rison says he does not see any neces-
sity for the work to be under mill
tary direction any longer. Mr.. Bryan
has fixed principles upon the subject
of putting forward favorites and as
sociates as plum gatherers, but he has
an amiable weakness for the crew of
the Commoner.
