COlOmbia's Claim.

Senator Joseph E. Ransdell of
louisiana, introduced a resolu-
ton at the Mobile Commercial
Congress providing for probe
into the manner in which we OBJ
tanned Panama, and the right to
cut a canal through the isthmus,
from Colombia. Our conduct in
this particular cannot be defend
ed on the grounds of morals or
good faith; but as the great
Bismarck once d,when impos-
ing unwelcome conditions upon
the Catholics of Germany, 1T is
not right, but it is necessary"
We were dickering over a trans
isthmian canal for fifty-three
years and the transcontinental
railroads were powerful enough
to thwart us at every turn. They
went into the French money
market and prevented DeLes-
seps from raising the funds with
which to carry on his work and
they are now agitating the
claims of Colombia, or at least,
they are accused of being be-
hind the movement.
The simple fact that President
Roosevelt saw that the fulness of
time had come, and that the peo-
pie demanded that the oceans
should be welded. He found
that Colombia was trying to
hold up this government and
demanding inordinate compensa-
ton. He realized that this op-
position was blocking the on
ward and inevitable march of
civilization and he took the bull
by the honrs and adopted the
only measures that were availa-
BILE and effective.
Nevertheless, if we, as a ma
ton, owe anything to Colombia,
as a nation, we should not hest

Look After Bad Places.

On October 3rd the IOlION IHS
appeared in the Forrest City
Times: "The roads are awful,
especially the Haskins hill.
There will be a notice IN The
Times, when the roads are dry
enough, and every automobile
owner, every owner Of wagon OF
buggy, in Madison and FRANKS
township, will be expected to
furnish team and driver TO
haul gravel for one day from Mr.
Grobmyer's field in front Of 5. Z.
Neels residence, to the Haskln S
hill, and thus render it paSsable
for the remainder Of the fall and
winter
During the bad weather spell,
Just gone through with, hun
dreds of roads all over the state
were in the same condition as
existed in St. Francis county.
On the road mentioned the Has
kin's hill seemed to be the bad
section. On each overseer S road
there will be sections that are
worse than others, and at times
sections which are we'll nigh I'M
passable. To fix up these sec
tions first should be the rule.
During the winter season
coming on, discover the bad
places. Do not disband your
! road organizations. Do not stop
your work except when the Wea-
Their is too inclement to work
outside. All winter long good
can be done. Drain out the wa
ter and fill up the holes.
If a farmer starts to town eight
or ten miles away with load OF
cotton and strikes a wet place
several hundred feet, three or
four miles out, he can only haul
Ito town what his team can pull
through the wet place, three or
four hundred feet long. The old
adage is, "a chain is no strong
er than the weakest link This
can be ably applied to roads, III
that, passable road is only as
good as its worst spots. The
farmer can only haul over road
the load that may be pulled by
his team through the bad places
Let US organize this year for a
winter campaign. Let us try
new system of work and this
time make our roads passable all
the year. Use the drag unceas-
ingly and take care of the bad
sections on all roads as soon as
they develop.

send, D. D., H. c. Beasley, D. D.,
j. NJ. Sutton, D. D., J. D. Dennis
and J. NJ. B. McMichael, B. D,
A welcome reception was ten
tered the conference last night.
/ A program was rendered, inter
spersed with good singing and
music. The mayor in his address
said: Newport is one Of the
hest towns in Arkansas, and
there exists the most friendly
feelings between the races. We
make this delegation welcome,
and shall do everything in our
power to give you everything
that is necessary to make you
comfortable. You stand for good
citizenship, and your progress
as race has been marvellous.
Your Booker T. Washington,
and your Bishop Turner, are
known throughout the civilized
world, and you should be proud
'of them, and the record that
your race has made during the
last fifty years" Mr.. Jones in
his address, said: "The world is
yet young We have only a re-
cord of about two thousand
years. What marvellous oppor-
tunity we have to do work, and
develop the resources Of the
earth. You as ministers of the
meek and loWly Jesus, are en-
ployed in the greatest work CIV
en- to man. Do your duty, and do
it well, and you write your
names upon the pages of history
to last forever. Honesty, up
Brightness will last while the
world stands. To be honest, and
do the things that are right, may
cause one to have to do without
money, but one can have more
than money-happiness and
!contentment, and know that he
is perpetuating a civilization
that is blest of Cod"
| The speech of Mr.. Jones was
received with great applause.
Able speeches were made by E.
D. Bryant and J. A. Smith.
Bishop Chappelle responded in
an eloquent address. A synop-
sis of the bishops speech will

Panama City's water supply is de-
rived from the Rio Grande reservoir,
little lake quite close to the canal.
For obvious reasons bathing or wad-
ing in II is forbidden, and all around 1t
are signs stating that fact. Recently
the wife of a member of the canal
commission was entertaining friends
from the states, and In the course Of
their wanderings one day they came
upon the reservoir. They were tired
and dusty and the cool water looked
so inviting that they all toSk off their
shoes and stockings and went In wad-
ing. Unfortunately for them, one Of
the efficient zone policemen came upon
them and arrested the whole party.
They were taken before the nearest
magistrate, and despite the pleading
of the commissioner, who had been
hastily called to the rescue, each one
was compelled to pay fine and listen
to sharp lecture on law-breaking and
sanitation.

Tourists flocked to the canal zone
in such increasing numbers that the
Panama Railway company-which
means the United States government
decided to erect a new Washington
hotel in Colon to supplant the old hos
telry of that name. The architect de-
signed a handsome four-story struc-
ture of concrete and, to take full adj
vantage of the cool breezes from the
Atlantic, provided in his plans for
large roof garden and two dumb wait
ers running up to it. The builders made
the roof all right, and put in the dumb
walters, but when the hotel was near
ing completion some one discovered
there was no opening in the roof for
the aforesaid dumb walters. The nee
essary changes would cost several hum
dred dollars, and the government Of
fetal who passed upon the expendi-
lures decided against making them as
the hotel already had cost more than
had been expected. Consequently
those two dumb walters run up to the
ceiling of the fourth story and there
stop, while the roof garden, having no
service, remains unopened.

Speaking Of the blasting reminds me
that one Of the very high up engineers
on the canal Job is exceedingly afraid
of dynamite. He is also a strict dis
ciplinarian and does not allow the
workmen to loaf. Whenever one Of
the frequent dolby shots" or small
blasts is to be fred, the nearest steam
shovel emits series Of short, quick
toots and the men scurry to cover. AS
soon as Mr.. Engineer appears In the
cut to see that the laborers are losing
no time, the warning whistles are
heard from steam shovels all along the
way and he speedily returns to his of-
fee on the hill, leaving the unprodded
workmen to resume their leisurely
gait.

pidity and pomposity that governs

icule Is not deserved, but often 1t is.
Some months ago an American resi-
dent of the city of Panama imported a
pair Of riding boots from the states,
and in his manifest submitted to the
native customs authorities he so listed
them, with the price, $3.50. The paper
was returned to him with curt instruc-
lions to correct it. Not knowing how
he had erred, he consulted the customs
man and was told the boots must be
listed as two separate articles, thus:
zone riding boot, value s4.75; one rid
ing boot, value $4.75." Mr.. American
complied silently, and received his
boots.

The Isthmus of Panama does not
belong to the English, never did, and
there are not many real Englishmen
there. Yet the presence of a large
number of British subjects-the ia
maican negroes-has forced on the in
habitants an English custom, that of
vehicles taking the left side of the
road. Probably this is due to the fact
that most of the cab drivers are ia
maicans. All the people of that island
are intensely proud of being subjects
of King George, and they are tenacious
of such British customs as they know.
