A BASE SURRENDER
[From the Philadelphia Press

[From the Philadelphia Press.l
The Senate has followed. the House
in obeying the command of the Presi-
dent and has surrendered American
rights in the Panama Canal. True the
pretense is made that we do not waive
our rights, but that means nothing
when we so emphatically refuse to as
sert them.
No wonder that Senators become
angry and belligerent as the hour for
making this most unpatriotic. surrender
arrived. They knew they were about
to take a cowardly step. The vote was
cast against the convictions of major
ity Of the Senate as heretofore ex-
pressed. The President complains that
1t was done grudgingly. If Senators
were less subservient to the orders of
the Executive and had regard only to
their convictions and the true interests
of the country this shameful repeal bill
would never have passed.
We have built the canal without for
eign assistance. 1t has cost us s400,-
100000 in money and now when the
time comes to open il to the commerce
Of the world the only world commerce
that promises to cut no figure at all In
the canal is that of the United States.

THE FLAGS OF SIXTY ONE

The flags are furled. The faded. tat
That once waved proudly in the battle
breeze
Cling to their time-worn staffs. CON-
cealing
Rents from shot and shell-incarna-
dined
With heroes blood-mute Witnesses of
Fields of carnage, agony and woe.
Through days of summers feryid heat
Winters chilling winds, they waxea
above
The hosts of marching men, and, like
a benediction,
Rested DER their bivouac at night
They shared
With those who followed them the
victories
Achieved and seemed to droop in
times of
Anguish and defeat. They saw the
zenith of
The soldiers hopes-the nadir of their
Despair and gloom. These treasured
relics of
Tragic past wer borne aloft midst
battle flame,
BY youths who wore the Badge of
Courage" and
Falling in their defense their last de-
voted
Gaze was on the dear old flag for
which they
Bravely fought-for which thew nob-
ly died.
To-day with faltering steps and slow,
surviving
Veterans bowed with age, with throb-
bing hearts
And kindling eyes, carry these stand
ards to their
Last abiding place, their silken folds
ne'er more in
Motion to be stirred, save by the
breeze of tender
Memories--ne'er more to be unfurled
In fractricial war,
For Peace like a river" extends DER

People and glorious land No long
er do they typify
The bitternesses and hate engendered
by long and II
Sanguinary strife.
The veterans work is done. Their sun
Is sinking

shadows lengthen:
For them the ev'ning's twilight soon
shall mingle
With the mists of night, and calmly
they await

THE CRIME OF SUCCEEDING

[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
If man turns his brains to litera-
a man turns his brains to medicine
and succeeds--he is a public benefactor
If a man turns his brains to law and
statesmanship-and succeeds-he is an
plauds success in any line of endeavor
excepting one. Let him turn his
brains to business-and succeed. Al
once-he is scheming rogue and a
robber of the poor! For is not the
expression of genius and initiative in
BUSINESS CRIME? Is not the love
of money the root of all evil? 1t is
therefore, of utmost Importance that
the President and his able lieutenants
toll nightly through the heat of sum
mer to crush out these offending roots
that sustain the tree of prosperity
What If the tree die also? Psychology
will no doubt revive it.

PRESIDENTS MEXICAN POLICY

From Philadelphia Public Ledger. ]
1t is utter madness. That 1t has any
support at all only shows how easily a
people can be led into an untenable
position. Mediation the hopelessness
and helpless state into which the
Mexicans have been plunged, may
miraculously save this nation from
the consequences of the Administra-
tion's mania. All good citizens hope
so. But there is no longer any conf
dence in the Administration reason
ing. Intelligent citizens, are humiliat-
ed by the sophomore conduct of our
foreign affairs. They are indignant
that the nation should have been led
into a ridiculous position, at variance
with our whole history without in
struction from the people. There will
be more crises, more grave incidents
before we are through, and the sue
cess of mediation will be put the be-
ginning of a long series of problems
which will attend pacification. We
are engaged in an adventure which is
the more hazardous because it is so
unnecessary.

OUTPUT OF ANTHRACITE

HE Topographic and Geologic
Survey, working in cooperation
with the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, reports that the
production of anthracite coal in 1913
was 6,395,S25 gross tons in excess of
the output of 1912, an increase of 81
per cent. Part of this increase is un-
doubtedly due to the closing of the
mines in 1912 pending the settlement
of the mining scale, yet it is almost
100000 gross tons in excess of the
production of 1911, which was the pre-
vious high record year. This marked
increase again brings up the question
OF the ultimate maximum OUTPUT of
anthracite coal. While 1t Is we'll
known that the output of bitumi-
nous coal doubles each decade
yet the increase in the output of
Pennsylvania anthracite shows no
such change. This is, at least in
great part, due to the fact that an
thracite is no longer manufacturing
fuel, but essentially domestic one.
1t has been thought by some that the
present output will not be greatly in
creased; others seem to think that
lOO,OOO,O0O gross tons per year will
be the maximum amount ever mined.
According to the Surveys estimates.
it is evident that so far as can now
be seen the increase will be small from
year to year, the ever increasing cost
of production being one of the factors
which will retard the growth of the
output.

Planning Towns

GFrom the Reading Herald.]
When Cain went building city he
doubtless did it helterskelter. There
was no town planning committee in his
program. Had his city been duly
planned, Cain might have turned into
a better man, and-humanity might have
been so happy and so virtuous with it's
parks and it's Fairgrounds and Its
swimming pools and its boulevards that
it's original sin would have been chased
out and there never would have been
any need for Noah's ark.
Get Out and Get Over
[From the Altoona Gazette.]
The Gazette hopes a very large num-
ber of the young people whose school

snend several weeks in the forests, on
the mountains, by the riverside or at
the seashore. Nothing does young or
old more good than a somewhat pro-
tracted sojourn close to the heart of

full mother, the Earth, is indeed one
of our truest and most inspiring
friends; we can never get to close

President Wilson and those who look
at things through the schoolmaster's s
speetacles, that the country is enioy-
ing prosperous times. This deplorable
state of affairs is shown by the attitude
of steel experts all over the United

trade conditions are bad. The report
of untitled tonnage by United States
Steel indicates another big monthly de-
crease of 27S.000 tons. For eighteen
months, or ever since the end of 1912.
there has been steady decline in the
steel trade. According to a financial
authority in December, 1912, the un-

ATS Off The colors pass.
IL The veterans of a hundred CORY
i fields are marching beneath
their folds for the last time to-
day. The loyal hearts that bore them
proudly away from old Camp Curtin to
n baptism of fire and death, who car
ried them through shot and shell over
the ramparts of the enemy and who
brought them back victorious at the
close of the conflict, are bravely bear
ing aloft their tattered, CORY remnants
for the last time. When they set the
old flags down in the rotunda of the
great new Capitol to-day, to occupy
the place of honor the Commonwealth
has rightfully accorded them. it will be
to bid them final adieu. The veterans
of 81 responded to the final call to
the colors.
They have had their brief day of
trial and of triumph. Their race is
almost run. And one is tempted to
the thought of the apparent futility of
1t all-this brief reward for the years
of sacrifice, the all too fieeting days of
youth and the swift passage of the
years, with their inevitable end. Yet,
looking beyond, from the present and
into the future, where dwell their chill
dren and their children's children, on
down to the end of time, we see that
the great war which they fought has
led ito one flag, one land, one heart,
one hand, one nation ever more"
And it is a good old flag beneath
which they fought. a flag
of the free hearts hope and
home!
BY angel hands to valour given;
The stars have lit the welkin dome.
And all thy hues were born In heaven.
Forever float that standard Sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls be-
fore us,
With freedoms soil beneath our
feet,
And freedoms banner streaming DER

HUERTA RECOGNIZED

II EN- dll lIc WdIChlu III Wdltil6
~ Of the Washington Administra-
4 \ ton in its attitude toward Mex
leo. the A B c mediators have
forced Washington to accept a proviso
ional president be chosen without
Huerta's approval.
A list of candidates has been pre-
pared which includes none but men
whom the Mexican delegates believe
to be acceptable to the present head
of the Government at Mexico City.
After a candidate believed to be ac-
ceptable has been agreed upon the
Mexican delegates will transmit his
name to General Huerta, and not be-
fore the choice has been sanctioned
by the provisional President will it be
adopted at the conference.
This is the point which was most bit
terly opposed by the American dele
gates. They yielded only after the
Washington government was informed
by it's representatives at Niagara Falls
that the mediators had taken a step
which indicated that they were pre-
pared to put an end to the conference
rather than impair the dignity of their
government and their personal feel
ings.
But how about the feelings of the
man in the White House, who precipi-
tated all the trouble because he would
not recognize Huerta and who now is
forced to agree to Huerta's o. X?
