Criticism of the President's
Diplomatic Appointments.

There has been criticism Of some of
the diplomatic appointments of the
president because the men selected in
some instances have been practically
unknown and mostly without expert
ence This criticism is again called
forth by the appointment of Repre-
sentative William G. Sharp of Ohio
to be ambassador to France The only
objection to Mr.. Sharp, IL appears, is
that he has not been a governor or
great publicist. He is popular and has
a reputation for fairness and integ-
rity which appealed to the president.
So far as the chief diplomatic posts
are concerned, they are invariably
filled by men without previous ex-
perience in the diplomatic service. De
spite this supposed handicap, our dip
lomatic service has not suffered any
serious deterioration under the system
of a complete change every four years.
1t is true that Mr.. Sharp is little
known, but he succeeds a man whose
only claim to distinction was that he
was a lame duck" who had been gov
ernor of Ohio by virtue Of the old re
publican machine in that state. There
is no reason to assume that Mr.. Sharp
will not make a better ambassador to
France than Myron T. Herrick, a
broken down politician. who, when he
went to Poris. was without previous
diplomatic experience.
Nor will men like Mr.. Sharp suffer
by comparison with others who have
held diplomatic posts in recent years.
He will probably make a better am
bassador than Leischman. who be-
came noted for his stock gambling
proclivities, or Henry Lane Wilson,
who condoncd the murder of Madero
and misrepresented the United States
in Mexico
Almost invariably when there is
criticism of Mr.. Wilson's appoint
read between the lines that the real
complaint is aimed at Mr.. Bryan. 1t
appears to be part of a scheme to
make Mr. Bryan the goat" of the
Wilson administration in everything
that involves our foreign relations.
The attempt will probably fail. Mr..
Bryan, despite predictions to the con-
trary, is Loyalty supporting the presi-
dents policies, which is more than
can be said of some of the other DEM
ocratic leaders at Washington.

The United States Treaty
With Colombia.

A great deal is being said about the
treaty which Secretary Bryan has ne
gotiated with Colombia, but little
seems to be printed about the his
tory Of our relations with that little
country or about the merits of the
present treaty. The Chicago Journal
states some of the main facts in
some very few words as follows:
1t is not likely that the senate at
this session will take any final action
on the new treaty with Colombia. in
settlement of the Panama dispute For
that very reason, the present is a good
time to set down a few facts concern
ing that part of the trGaty which is
sure to meet the strongest opposition,
the clause which pledges this country
TO pay Colombia $4,000. 600 damages
and compensation for taking Pan
anna"
Mr.. Roosevelts administration ad-
mitted that Colombia was entitled to
money damages, and. through Elihu
Root. then secretary Of state, offered
that country $l,25o,ooo, which was re
fused.
The Taft administration raised the
offer to $l0,o0o,000, which again was
rejected.
The present treaty fixes the re-
quired payment at $25, OOO, 900. and has
been accepted by both houses of the
Colombian congress.
Now. $25,OOO,000 may be more than
the United States ought to pay, but
three successive administrations have
agreed that we ought to pay some
thing. This fact should keep out Of
the debate. when 1t comes. all talk
about "blackmaiT' and similar non
sense The only matter which tn SEN
ate need consider with reference to
this payment is whether ii is or is not
too great. This is question which
deserves serious and thoughtful con-
sideration-but which assuredly does
not offer a premium on imprisoned
oratcry.
Those seem to be the pertinent facts
IN the case and regardless of how Mr..
Roosevelt may bulldose and protest
those are the points on which the
ratification of the treaty will turn

Paris, Aug. s.---The proposal to

tween the two ~pro1nontories which
dominate Kuossos.

Icarus were imprisoned by Minos. the
tyrant Of Crete, and visitors are shown

tiyes, to escape, made the first flying
machine Of birds wings stuck together

in the way of the realization Of this
scheme, which would commemorate at

being considered as a fitting compile

SMALL NATIONS ARE
PLANNING ALLIANCE
King Albert Heads Move. to
Unite Little States Of
Western Europe.

Brussels. Aug. Skiing Albert, dur
fng his recent visit to Switzerland ap-
pears to have found sympathetic re-
ception OF his idea for an economic and
political alliance among the small
states Of western Europe. He is so en-
thusiastic over the matter that he is
actively at work in furtherance Of the
idea and hopes hat eventually Hol-
land. Denmark, Switzerland. Luxem-
bourg. Sweden and Norway, nay be
brought together with Belgium in the
alliance
1t is understood that King Albert
sees no p~racticability In the suggestion
of a defense alliance along military
lines. as the countries concerned are
widely separated geographically and
weak in military forces even when
taken collectively. But he believes that
some understanding for common COM
mercial and economic aims would be
of advantage to offset the commercial
aggression practiced by some OF the
great powers.
The course which Germany has
taken in cutting off Holland from
much OF the trade of eastern Europe
by, the new canal connecting Emden
with II Rhine is taken as one instance
of such economic pressure. SWitzer-
land is said to suffer particularly UNI
der the shadow Of Germany business
rivalry.
King Albert also recently approached
the government Of Luxomberg with his
proposal, but he has been informed
that as the principality is a member
of the German customs union. 1t Is not
free to enter into any economic ar
rangement with other countries.
