No Surrender,
M thu Nan, York World

From the New York World.
Those who say that the president has
surrendered to England BY insisting
upon treaty observance at Panama are
supported more by noise than by reason.
II there was any surrender to England 1t
must have taken place in 1901, when the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty was ratified.
John Hay as secretary of state super
vised the negotiations for the United
States. No doubt Philander c. Knox as
attorney general saw the proposed treaty
and Endorsed it. Joseph II. Choate as am
bassador to England participated in the
arrangement. Theodore Roosevelt as
president was enthusiastical In accord.
Does anybody believe these gentlemen be-
trayed their country?
When the treaty had been sfgne and
was before the United States Senate for
approval it was widely heralded as a tr1-
umph OF American diplomacy. That the
members of the Senate understood it's
terms is shown by the fact hat an
amendment covering the very question Of
free tolls now raised was voted downs
to q. Did these 43 senators "truckle" to
anybody? On the final vote u senators
stood for ratification and only six In oppo-
sition. Did the 70 surrender to Eng
land?"
Every treaty is a bargain. If corees..
sions In such cases were not reciprocal
there never would be an international
agreement. BY the Hay-Pauncefote cove
nant England released US from the Clay
treaty, which had become lTk-
some, and by way Of compensation we
agreed there should be no discrimination
in the matter of tolls.
| contract. To violate 1t Is not only to dis
honor the United States but to cast dis

good faith committed us to 1T.

Old Foes With Now Faces.
From the Indianapolis News.

NS"o.
Our old friend Public Hearings comes to
the front in connection with the canal
toll bill. He rushes to the rescue now
with something like his old-time blithe-
someness, for it is said, although the con-
clusion is foregone, that he will be al
lowed to consume IS days. He was a
great friend in emergencies during the
days of the standpat supremacy. AS there
are more signs thar one that standpat is
pirate that the co-partner, Public Hear
ings, should also ppear And, although
we are assured. as is doubtless the case.
that he will not be able to defeat the re-
peal Of toll exemption, let it not be con-
cluded that therefore he plays M part.
He plays a large and valuable part for
those that want to lay a Foundations for
a case that has no real foundation In The
feeling of the people. We may hope that
he can do nothing, and it is improbable
that he can. But 1t is a pity that we
should have to revert to this old style Of
confusing public affairs. We shall in
creasingly find that the foes to be met are
the old foes with new faces, that is all.
