and then they turned 10 certain
astute gentlemen in New York
who possessed plenty of money
and vast quantities of political
pull. The New Yo1kers purchas-
ed the Frenchmen's holdings for
a song and opened up negotia-
tions with the United States gov
ernment with view to unload
ing on Uncle Sam.
Colombia warned the Wash
ington authorities that Wall
street men had nothing to sell.
pointing cut that the Frenchmen
had forfeited their franchise by
failure to comply with it's terms.
A HAND MADE REVOLUTION
President Roosevelt saw fit to
ignore Colombia. A made-to Or
der revolution was arranged in
Panama and a government was
set up backed by American bay
onets and supported by American
money. The Wall Street gentle
men unloaded their white ele-
phant, receiving $40, 900, 900 for
the Frenchmen's claim" and
the United States obligated itself
to pay the Panama government
considerable sums of money fer
an indefinite period.
+. Colombia continued to protest
but its representations were dis
missed as ''palpable attempts at
blackmail."
We ''got away with it, be-
cause Colombia was too weak to
fight but we suffered immeasure-
ably IN the good opion of the
world, particularly among the
Spanish-speaking peoples.
Throughout South America. press
and people reffered to the Incl
dent as "the rape of Colombia"
and described Uncle Sam as 1.-THE
Hog of the North" Europeans
shrugged their shoulders and dis
missed the affair as another evil
dence Of The fact that the United
States was willing to enforce the
Monroe doctrine against every
nation butitself.
The Taft administration. real
izing that we were in an unten-
able position, sought to placate
Colombia but did not meet with
much success and the problem was
passed along to Wilson.
The latter approached the sub
ject from an entirely new and
unique point of veiw. He insist
ed that the United States must
deal with other nations exactly
as an honorable gentleman deals
with his friends and business as
sociates. We could not abandon
the canal and we could not with
draw the guarantees we had Civ
en- the make believe republic of
Panama. All this was explained
to the Colombians and once Will
son and Bryan had gained their
confidence they manifested to
meet this country more than half
way.
THAT WORD ''REGRETS".
The result was the drafting of
the much-talked of Colombian
treaty.
That document frankly de-
clares that this country regrets"
that the friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Col
ombia have been disturbed and
it provides for the payments of
S25. 600, 900 in full settlement of
Colombia's claims.

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.
From Colorado.

During the next month or two
there will be a great deal in the
newspapers about the Colombian
treaty. Colonel Roosevelt opened
the bombardment the other day
when he returned from Europe.
He said a lot of things about the
treaty and the foreign policy OF
President Wilson which neither
the Colonel or any other sane
man believes.
The nations of the earth are
not laug hing at the United States
as Mr.. ROOSEVELT suggests. They
never respected us more or fear
ed us less. We have ceased to
bully, the little fellows but that
has caused us to carry our heads
a bit higher when we are dealing
with the big fellows.
We are showing the world that
we are strong enough to do right
even when it involves confessing
that we once did wrong.
We stole Panama from Colon
bia. No amount of ranting by
Colonel Roosevelt or any one else
will cause History to lose slghtof
that fact. We cannot return the
stolen goods because we have
constructed the Panama canal
through a portion Of the terrific
ry thus acquired. But we can
make the amende honorable.
We can say to little Colombia:
We're sorry. old boy, and we
are willing to pay for the damage
we have done"
ITS AMERICAS WAY
Of course, that is not the way
England would do it. But what
do We care about how England
would do lit? We must determine
howthe United States-the most
enlightened republic in the his
tory of the world-will do it. If
Colombia were a great strong
country, with an efficient army
and navy. we might hesitate.
fearing the world would mis-un-
derstand our action. Fortunate.
ly o one imagines we are afraid
of Colombia. We can be just
without being suspected of cow
ardice.
Let US consider the history of
this controversy with Colombia.
Get out your old geography and
find the map of the Western
hemisphere. Down there in the
northeastern corner of South
: America is Colombia. a group of
Ngood-sized states. The northern
most state--the one which looks
like a goose's neck-is Panama
and it connects South America
with North America.
For a hundred years the United
States has professed to be COL
ombia's friend. In one Of our
treaties we guaranteed its terri
torial integrity and at all times we
have Insisted that it was one of
the benefciaries Of the Monroe
doctrine.
Some years ago Colombia
granted French capitalists a fran
chise to build a canal across Pan
anna. The Frenchmen invested
100000, 900 and went on finan-
cial rocks. Colombia took the
position that the Frenchmen
must complete their contract or
forfeit the property. Naturally
the contractors struggled to save
at least a part Of their invest
ment. They pleaded in vain

 During the evening, Lick scored the State of Connecticut for failing to participate in the exposition. He de- clared that 1t was up to the business men of the state to see that an ap- propriation Is made. He told the board Of trade the commercial and in dustria1 opportunities of the Pacific coast were among the best in the world.
 Owing to the absence of officers of the board Of trade under whose aus pfces Lick gave the lecture. Frank W. Bolan1e introduced the speaker.

A HOME FOR DEAF
 MUTES--AN APPEAL

In Everett, Mass, there is an insti- tuition known as the New England Home for Aged and Infirm Deaf Mutes. It was established about clergyman whose wife was a deaf mute It's object is to provide a comfortable home for aged deaf mCees at as small an expense as pos sible for each occupant.
 ! Most deaf mutes are self-support- ing and have a horror of doIes and charity as ordinarily understood, and only ask for work as long as they can work. Many have modest homes of their own. But old age comes to all alike. and old age finds some of them alone in the world and poor, and they have feeling of dread of being compelled to go to the public aims house. Hence the need of this home in Everett where they are kind- ly cared for and have the congenial associations of their fellow deaf xnutes.
 The Home has accommodations for eighteen such persons. It is support ed almost entirely by voluntary con tributions and deserves the support of good people, if any charitable institu- ton in New England does. It is man. aged by a competent board of trus- tees of which Rev. A. z. Conrad, D. D. pastor of Park Congregational Church. Boston, is chairman. and Phineas Hubbard. one of BostoD's we'll known businessmen, is treasurer.
 The deaf mute people living in and near Bridgeport. of which there are some forty or more, are very much interested in this Home. in Everett. They desire to do something for it's support. They have appealed to the good people of St. Johns Episcopal church. and other churches to help them raise a sum of money for it. Accordingly, a first class illustrated lectufre entitled Travels in Spain,''' will be given in the chapel of St. John's church. Park avenue, on Sat- urday evening, May 9th. at 8 o'clock, by the Rev l. F. Berry, of Stamford. Conn. Clarence W. Foote, of 472 Park Place, has kindly consented to act as local treasurer, and will be glad to give you any information he can.

SILVER AND CUT GLASS

Fine, heavy silver and rich cutgIass are universally regarded as ideal we'd ding presents and rightly so.
 In these wares there is beauty, value and utility combined. In them appropriate and desirable articles can be found to fit equally well the fill ed wallet or slender purse; and again there are many pieces of both that are needed for the house quite as much as furniture and other things.
 We make speciality of carrying a wide assortment of suitable gift afti- cIes in silver, cut glass and etc, espe- cially those nationally advertised.

BY FRED L. BOALT

Vera Cruz, Mexico.-A lieutenant
of marines was talking with group
of correspondents at one of the out
posts, recently, when his attention
was attracted to a man calmly sur
veying the outpost from distance of,
perhaps, so yards.
He was a short, stockily-built man
with a pointed beard, and he wore a
panama hat at jaunty angle. He
leaned negligently on a cane.
Beside the man stood fox terrier,
with ears cooked. Both stood as
motionless as statues.
Corporal" said the lieutenant,
find out who that man is and what
he wants"
The corporal of the guard ap-
preached the statuesque stranger,
spoke to him and returned to the lieu
tenant
"He says, SIR reported the cor
poral, that he is taking a walk in
a free country and that he is inside
the lines

Q6r6Q the lieutenant.
Again the corporal approached the
stranger.
Somewhere, worried the lieu
tenant, 81 have seen the man before"
The corporal was sent to speak to
the stranger, who replied, then
wheeled and strobe briskly away to-
ward the city, his cheeks red and
putting with indignation.
''He, says his name is Craddock,"
reported the corporal.
The lieutenant whistled. What
did you tell him." he asked.
81 told him to beat it." said the
truthful corporal.
The stranger was Admiral Sir
Christopher Craddock, K. c. B., K. C.
M. G., of the British navy.
