Owning the Earth at Panama.

Mcssrs Bryan and Garrison are right in think lng
that the United States should have a chance to be
heard before it is mulctcd for the payment of land
claims at Panama. 1t is true that the COMMISSION
which adiudicates the claims comprises representa-
tivcs Of both countries and is thus presumably I'M
partial. Hut since the claimants are heard in their
own behalf. fairness certainly requires that tn
government against which the claims are made
should also have hearing.

4 practical step toward making educational facii-

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

We have raised tall granite columns in memory OF
Whose deeds have them glory and whose lives
heroic been
Memorials lest forget the kind of men they
were,

We weave their names in story, song and euiosisuc
speech,
While remembering the lessons that noble lives
should teach.
On. needs no granite column to pcrpetuate his
fame
Deep craven on the human heart is Abraham Lin
coins name.
His youth spent midst the rugged scenes Of West
crn frontier life,
When every day meant hours of toll and every hour
meant Srffe;
Where face TO face with Nature he her free-born
spirit breathed
And was heir to sturdy manhood by fearless sires
bequeathed.
His mind was an inquiring one, books his compan-
ions were,
Though the sources then of knowledge, compared
with now, were rare;
But inch by inch and step by step he forward pressed
his way,
Until he found himself the Peer OF leaders of his
day.
AS lawyer legislator and Congressman he shone
With grim originality and power all his own
And when the nation called him to the Presidential
chair
They found in him leader well equipped to do and
dare.
His memory is history; how well he did his part
Is proven for his names inscribed upon the nations
heart.
His life benediction, falling like holy
psalm"
We know him nov as they did then as Father
Abraham"
The dear old flag he loved we'll unsulled still re-
mains,
With not a single mark or spot Of treason's cruel
stains
Ger q united land il waves from mountain top TO

An emblem is to all the world of Justice, Liberty.
Fraternal bonds bind all the states in one united
whole;
What now exists was clearly seen by his prophetic
soul.
Though massive monuments We raise thus honoring
his name.
Yet in the hearts Of patriots shall live his truest
fame.

The theatres need the support of the resident public

on sales Of tickets t. transients who wanted seats

commissions. That all well enough when there

The increase in play houses has outrun the demands
Of out-of-town patrons. and most managers sec tina
they must do something TO win back the oldtime box
Office customers.
The Metropolitan Opera House solved the problem
by making fat rate for all sales whether through
agencies through the box Office. Many of the
theatre managers want to do away with agencies
altogether If plenty Of good seats were obtainable
at the theatre at the published the local public
would not care much whether the agency business
was discontinued not. One thing is clear and
that is that people who live here the year around
are at last going 10 receive consideration than

lost. why go through weary steps IN the
process of establishing It?
The perpetuation of the grace ana
beauty OF the Parthenon, the Sistine Ma
donna and the Venus Of Milo is the dream
of many of our best architects, painters
and sculptors. But their attempts TO per-
petuate are not marked by slow steps OF
sensual or commercial degradation; nay,
rather by steps Of distinct progress. And
while we fail as artists 10 sound the pro-

10 ennoble our efforts rather than 10 de-

So, IL would seem, ii should be with all

Puritan. IL is because the Puritan would

THE BENCH IN POLITICS
An Excellent Principle of Judicial Con.

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: II is surprising that the chief jus

notifies while on the bench. The Legs

give I'D all active political Affiliations, and
in that view bills have been introduced
making it a crime and disqualification Tor
iudges 10 participate in politics after they
are elected Judges are now prevented
from contributing toward their nominal
ton TO any political party.
No Judge ON the bench to-day in the
county of New York who was, heretofore,
active in partisan politics has continued
an active partisan, but resigned from al!
political clubs, so he could give equal
Justice 10 all citizens, irrespective OF their
partv politics. IL is certainly a disgrace

on the minds OF aliens who become citi-
zens in his court?
As member Of the national and state
