Il PEOPLE UNSPOILED.-

4 newspaper story the other day
told of a small. out-of-the-way, Mis-
souri, town. Iberia-a town too small
10 have a moving picture show. The
story also told of G. Byron Smith
principal of the Iberia Academy, and
said of him: Although a graduate of
Harvard University. he has not hesi-
tated to bury himself in the seclu-
sion of IBERIA
If not having picture shows to at
tend. trolley cars. skyscrapers asphalt
streets and such things is being bu-
ried, then Mr.. Smith is buried
But that is not all the story said
about Mr.. Smith and the town. Such
places as Iberia are mighty good
places to live in if person only knew
it. The people are simple in their hab
its, farmers. most of them, and pros
porous They are generous and unaf-
fected by the superfcialities of the
bigger outside world Most of them
have attended the academy and are
interested in education. They are a
well-read people, for reading-it is
not generally the cheap magazine
stuff-fills much of their leisure time.
Through the newspapers and periodi-
Gals they keep in close contact with
the outside.
There are many of these little inland
college towns throughout the country.
and il is noticeable that the same
wholesome conditions prevail in them.
Their citizens are. as the story said
"a people unspoiled." To be buried"
among such a people is not to be bur-
led. unless a person cares more for gay
playtimes and strife than for the
peaceful companionship of strong hu-
man characters.

The Panama Canal Question
Engands Right to Expect the United States to Garry
Out its Pledge to Keep the Canal Open to All Ma
tons ''on Terms of Entire Equality, SO that
There Shall be No Discrimination"


rimonius fight that has beer
waged in Congress for the pas
few weeks upon President Wilson
for his insistence upon the repea
of the clause in the Panama Ca
nal bill. which grants to Ameri
can coastwise vessels the right tt
pass through the canal free from
the payment of tolls, is world
wide question on which every
American should be informed.
That President Wilson is right in
his position every man who knows
the history and considers the
question fairly is bound to admit.
The fact that the free passage of
American vessels was made a
plank in the late national Demo-
cratic platform, is held by a large
number of Democrats to bind
them to the policy Of free tolls.
That plank, however, seems to
have been an error. The Louisi-
ana delegation in Congress is
evenly divided on the question,
Senator Thornton and Congress-
men Aswell, Elder and Watkins
are supporting the President, and
Senator Ransdell and Congress
men Broussard. Dupre, Estopinel
and Morgan are opposing the
Presidents contention for repeal.
Congressman Lazaro, of the 7th
district. is not recorded as vot-
ing, except on final vote.
We give the following account
of the history of this controversy,
taken from the Dallas (Texas)
News, as being the most COM
plete and we'll defined statement
of the case that we have yet
seen, viz:
In 1888 Great Britain acquired
Honduras, and later it acquired a
protectorate of the Mosquito
Coast and over the Bay Islands,
a group near Honduras. Those
possessions and privileges were
held, by the craftsmanship of
that time and by the statesman
ship of nearly a century after
ward, to give Great Britain the
privilege of building a canal
across the Isthmus. But early
in the nineteenth century Ameri-
can statesmen began to feel that
it would be detrimental to the in
terests of the United States to
have Great Britain build a canal
in that neighborhood independ-
emily of US, and negotiations were
begun looking to equal partner
ship and control, on the part of
the United States. in any canal
that might be built. These me-
gotiations eventuated in 1850 in
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
THE salient provision of this
treaty was the agreement that
neither the United States nor
Great Britain would lever obtain
or maintain for itself exclusive
control over the projected ship
CANAL" and that neither will
ever erect or maintain fortifica-
tons commanding the same or in
the vicinity thereof" nor "forti-
fy or colonize, or assume any do
minion over any part of Central
America" They further agreed
to protect and guarantee the neu-
trality of any canal that might be
built and invite other nations to
do likewise, to the end that all
states might share in the honor
or advantage of such an enter
prise. Great Britain was like
wise persuaded in the same nego-
tiations to give up the Bay Islands
and forego ali protectorate rights
over the Mosquito Coast. 1t was,
however, permitted to retain
Il T. \

! Clayton-Bulwer treaty the United
States acquired the privilege Of
participating in any canal thai
might be built, and that further.
. more, Great Britain was induced
to give up territory which it own.
ed there and surrender authority
that had never been questioned.
"Our ambitions grew. Not
content to be merely a partner in
any such enterprise, we sought
an independent and exclusive
right to build a canal, and to that
end Mr.. Blaine endeavored, in
1881. to have the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty abrogated, but without
success. Great Britain maintain
ed, what was undeniably fact,
that the Clayton Bulwer treaty
was still in effect, and it mani
tested no willingness to abro-
gate it.
Immediately after the Span
ish war the desirability of build
ing a waterway to connect the
Atlantic and Pacific appeared to
be much greater than it had pre-
viously been thought. The one
thing which impressed the neces-
sity of it on the national con-
sciousness was the famous voy-
age Of the battleship Oregon
around the Horn. Accordingly
Mr.. Hay, then secretary of state,
entered into negotiations with
Great Britain for a modification
of the Clayton-B ulwer treaty by
which, as has been shown, Great
Britain enjoyed the privilege of
participating in the building,
ownership and control of any ca
nal that might be constructed.
These negotiations were success
full. They ended in 1901 in the
signing of the ay-Pauncefote
treaty.
The salient fact of this treaty
was that Great Britain surrend-
|ered its privilege to share in such
an enterprise and conceded to
the United States the exclusive
privilege of connecting the two
oceans. But in consideration of
this concession it exacted that
any canal we might build should
be operated without discrimina-
ton. The obligation is express
ed in the first paragraph of the
third article of the treaty, which
reads: "The canal shall be free
and open to the vessels of COM
merce and Of war of all nations
observing these rules, on terms
of entire equality, so that there
shall be no discrimination against
any such nation or its citizens or
subjects, in respect of the condi-
tons or charges of traffic or 9TH
erwise. Such conditions and
charges of traffic shall be just
and equitable
THE only question as to the
meaning of this language is
whether the United States is to
be included among all nations or
whether it is not. Those who
hold that it is, contend that to
exempt our coastwise shipping
from the payment of tolls would
be to violate the pledge of entire
equality and to disregard our
promise that there shall be no
discrimination.
But the vital fact is that origi-
nally Great Britain had the right
to build a trans-isthmian- canal
independently of US; that we af-
terward. by means of the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty, acquired al
partnership in that projected en-
terprise; and that still afterward
