HOW THE WAR AFFECTS US

There appears to be a wide difference OF opinion as to the measures
of material benefit or loss the United States will sustain by reason OF
the war in Europe The London Snist takes a very rosy view OF
the prospect from the American standpoint and declares: The United
States al become. as it has this week, the worlds greatest market for
capital, and if the American people rise to their opportunity they al
do a great deal to mitigate the disastrous economic consequences which
would otherwise result in many countries from 4 great European war.
On the other hand, Henry clews, the New York banker, says:
The effect of the al upon the United States will be highly injurious"
A rise in the cos of food products is ene of the evils he states He adj
mms. however, that probably m industries would benefit by the de-
manufactures OF steel, textiles, etc. to meet the vacancy caused by the
loss Of foreign trade which Germany and other European nations would
inevitably incur" But this, in his opinion, is overbaanccd by the fact
that the worlds money-markets would be violently deranged, and or
surely follow the wholesale destruction OF capital, and much of the C
financing Of the future which has got to be met would face serious OBJ
staces. Our foreign trade will be demoraized"
Whether Mr. Cews or the London "Staist' is right or wrong,
every right-hnking American would a thousand times rather forego
any material sproft than witness, we at this safe distance, the awful
destruction and barbarism Of an international European conflict But
the die being cast we must. in the words OF Il high-minded AMI
patriotic president, all at the present time act together as Americans in
seeing that America does OF suffer from what is going 0 n in the world
a large. Our W position is sound. and W. W it to mankind to
remain n such a condition and in such a Estate OF mind that we a help
the rest of the world"

This estimate does not take into consideration the loss by destruc-

OF burning cities, blown-up bridges, torn-up tracks and all the havoc
caused by shot and shell and the tramplng feet OF armies in peaceful

tenance of armies in operation, making the expense of war to Europe
$1OOW0O0O a day. How long al she stand this drain?

DIPLOMACY

During the long months of "watchfu1 waiting" in Mexico, we were
told by critics OF the Wilson administration that American diplomacy
as "te laughing stock of Europe"
British, German, French and Austrian political writers never tired.
of explaining how ridiculous a the attitude of the United States, and
how certain it "a to end in disaster.
Yet u much-derded American diplomacy solved the Mexican
problem without a var while one short week of European diplomacy
has plunged Europe into the greatest conflict known to history-New
York World.

WONDERFUL

Tonopah banks paid out Monday, which a pay day for most Ct
the mines, the stupendous sum Of S495WO0 About half of this was for
labor, the balance being dividends paid to local owners OF stock. This
statement makes a great showing for Tonopah, especially as 1t is correct
and its publication is authorized by the two banks operating in the
town. Nevada should feel proud OF Tonopah and never miss al oppor-
turty to boost its glory. The more attention that al be attracted ID
the southern silver camp the greater probability of calling attention to
and developing other camps sin the state.

Tho First to Fall.
From the wichita Rrar,

From the Wichita Beacon.
Coe /. Crawford, United States senator
from South Dakota, thought there were
not enough Progressives to nominate him
for United States senator, so he ran as
a progressive republican," A standpat
republican beat him easily.
S~oft-hearted progressives who think the
s~tandpatters mean what they say when
they invite them back. will learn in time
should come back and hold office. They
are not invited back for that purpose.
Mr.. Crawford, a good man, is the first to
fall Of that group of progressive repub-
lican senators who decided to lend their
support to the party controlled by the
forces OF reaction n dedicated to re-
action.
He thought he could lead the progress
sives back into q party which has made
no change In its national management
since tho Chicago convention. He goes
down q sacrifice to his own credulity-a
credulity which was doubtless accantEat-
ed by his practical desire to count the
votes.
There are other progressive republicans
who will pay the same penalties that

WHY AND HOW THE u.

TOLLS TO ALL NATIONS

the canal anywhere on the isthmus, each
agreeing not to acquire any influence OF
interest on the isthmus by reason of the
operation of the canal. By section 3 1t q
agreed that the management OF such
canal should treat the United States ano
England exactly alike as to charges and
conditions, and while it imposes equa1
charges and conditions on the United
States and England, the same should ap
ply to all other nations, their citizeni
and subjects.
Tho Suez Canal.
It was found difficult to finance the en-
terprise, and capital found a more invit.
ing field in reviving the old Suez canal
The khedive OF Egypt cared nothing about
the commercial aspects OF the canal. Hs
merely wanted the financial consideration
for the concession. n the French COM
pany secured the concession from this
khedive Of Egypt by making him certain
compensations and making provisions
similar to those we have made with the
republic of Panama, and the same con-
ditions adopted in the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty as to universal use and equal
treatment were applied to the Suez canal.
At the beginning of this century the
United States government determined that
1t wanted to build a canal and as 1t didn't
own any land on the isthmus and didn't
wish to enter upon conquest. ana mao
already built the Panama railroad and
operated 1t 70 years under the Clayton
Bulwer treaty and In strict accordance
with it. Il government applied to Eng
land for a modification of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, which was granted In the
following particulars only: G
The New Treaty.
It was agreed that the United States
should build and manage and operate the
canal, and nave all the rights incident
to construction and ownership, subject
to the stipulations OF the treaty affect
ing it's use as to equality and neutrality.
The United States relieved the balance of
the world Of its protection, and the pro-
hibition of fertilization was withdrawn
A provision was placed in the treaty
that II we afterwards acquired sovereignty
1t should not change the terms OF the
treaty as to equality and neutrality. We
have acquired substantial sovereignty by
subsequent treaty with Panama and have
built the canal and are now trying to
repudiato the agreement made through
England with tho balance OF the world.
The three enterprises of the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty with the Panama railroad, the
Suex canal and the Panama canal are

That Colombian Treaty
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
LIE Temps (Paris) Is a journal Of such
sespectabitty that we cannot suppose it
would lend itself to the publication of a
fake" of the text Of the treaty secre-
tary Bryan has negotiated with Colon
bia. It Is a journal Of such acumen as
to forbid the supposition that q spurious
document has been palmed off on its man
agement. Its assertion that the text of
the treaty which it publishes was fur
nlshed by the Colombian legation in Paris
Is entitled to credence. The publication
OF q treaty by one Of the signatorles while
It Is still awaiting the action Of the other
Is very unusual. but Colombia has not
been renowned for Its regard for the sus-
capabilities Of the United States. More
over. 1t may have looked upon the recent
denials from high quarters in Wash
ington OF the statement that It had re-
ceived an apology from the United States
as 5ustifying q departure from diplomatic
usages. Making all allowances for lin
quail variations that may occur in trans
lation and retranslation the text does con-
tain an apology for tho Panama incl
dent" This expression Of regret can
have bearing on nothing but the course
OF our government toward the Panama
revolution. II that 10 not its bearing. the
provision Of the treaty Is meaningless.
