Congressman from

Democratic Party Has
No Apologies To Offer

England signed the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty, which bound them to
construct canal on the Nicaragua
route "for the benefit of mankind
on equal terms to all"
THE DEBATED PROVISION.
Then in 1901, with the Republi-
can party in control of all branches
ofour government, the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty was ratified as a sub ubsti-
tute for all existing treaties be-
tween the United States and Eng
land touching the canal.
Rule l, article 2, of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty stands thus:
The cnnal shall be free and
open, in time of war as in time of
peace, to the vessels of commerce
and war of all nations, on terms of
entire equality, so that there shall
be no discrimination against any
nation or it's citizens or subjects in
respect of the conditions or charges
of traffic or otherwise"
1t does not require Philadel-
phia lawyer to interpret that Ian
guage. Its as plain as pike staff.
But the shipping trust says that
it was not meant to apply to coast
wise shipping, and the trust was

party This was the prediction
made by one of the Republican
leaders in the Speakers lobby of
the House of Representatives only
yesterday. 1t WAS evident that he
believed what he said. His face
was wreathed in smiles and his
eyes fairly danced with joy. He
was plainly pleased with the way
the political world was wagging
for him and his party colleagues.
The President had blundered, the
Democrats were in hole and,
therefore, God reigned and the
government at Washington still
lived"-according to his manner
of thinking.
was not impressed either by
the prophecy or the confidence of
the prophet, for l had heard the
same leader, standing on almost
the same spot, deliver himself of
practically the same prophecy half
a dozen times before during the
last year. "Wilson had blundered
and the Democrats were in hole"
when we passed the tariff bill, and
again when we put through the
currency measure, and again when
we refused to intervene in Mexico,
and on every other occasion when
a Democratic Congress, following
the lead of a Democratic Presi-
dent, had the nerve to deal with
big questions according to the cen
tury-old principles of the Demo-
cratic party.
COURAGE TO DO RIGHT.
But the party and the President
are strong with the people today
because they have had the courage
to ignore these croaking prophets
of evil and to stand for the right
because it was the right.
The Democratic party has no
apology to offer for it's attitude on
the Panama tolls question. 1t will
not shrink from the issue and it
does not fear the peoples verdict.
1t stands four-square behind the
President and unequivocally in
dorses his position as he stated it
in his last message to Congress:
"We consented to the treaty; its
language We accepted, if we did
not originate it, and we are too
great, too powerful, too self-re-
specting a nation to interpret with
too strained or refined a reading
the words of our own promises just
because we have power enough to
give us leave to read them as we
please. The large thing to do is
the only thing we can afford to do"
HISTORY OF CONTROVERSY.
The sugar trust, and the woolen
trust, and the money trust have all
crossed swords with the President.
One would imagine that the ship
ping trust would have learned a
lesson from the experiences of its
fellow octopi. But such is appar-
emily not the case and it is going
blithely on its way, fondly hoping
to befuddle the public mind. AT
the risk of repeating some OF the
things / said last week, | will give
a brief history of this Panama
question.
In 1916 New Granada-now the
Republic of Colombia-asked the
United States and England to
guarantee the neutrality OF the
isthmus Of Panama in return for
the privilege OF Constructing a
canal or railroad to connect the two
seas"
That's how England came into
this Panama problem. She was

and thus to insure the free passage
of its ships through the canal.
THE MONEY PRIZE.
We have many absurd naviga-
ton laws, but the one which may
be described as the quintessence OF
folly is that which provides that
only American-owned ships may
carry freight between our ports.
At one time it required that the
ships must be American built as
we'll as American owned. This law
made the formation OF the shipping
trust very simple matter, and it
is now estimated that 80 per cent
of the vessels engaged in the coast
wise trade which will pass through
the canal are owned by the com.
bine. The tolls on these vessels
would amount to more than one
million dollars a year. THAT'S THE
MONEY PRIZE WHICH is INVOLVED IN
THIS PANAMA CANAL TOLLS sTRUG-
GLE.
Congressional investigation has
revealed the fact that the shipping
trust and the trans s-continental rail-
roads are on the best of terms, and
that if We are to secure lower
freight rates as the result of the
opening of the canal additional and
very drastic legislation must be
enacted. Experts have proven that
the cost of carrying freight from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast by
water-wITH THE MAXIMUM CANAL
TOLL ADDED-will be one-third less
than the cost of transferring it by
rail across the continent. So it is
not necessary to remit the toll in
order to enable our ships to CON-
pete with our railroads. Free tolls
do not mean lower freight rates,
but they do mean increased divi-
dends for the shipping trust.
CANADA's ADVANTAGE.
The other day 1 received a letter
from a lumberman in the state OF
Washington complaining that he
could not sell his lumber in the
cities on the Atlantic coast in COM
petition with Canadian lumber In
vestigation showed that the Cana
dian had just two advantages over
his American competitor. First,
the lumber trust was charging the
American an excessive price for
'stumpage,' while the Canadian
was paying reasonable price for
the timber he cut on the govern
ment lands in his country. Sec-
ond, the Canadian could ship his
lumber from Vancouver to New
York, Boston or Philadelphia in
any ship which offered to take the
cargo, while the American is re-
stricted to American-owned boats
and in most instances to the ves-
sells of the shipping trust. Is it
any wonder that the lumber bust
ness is languishing in the north
western states while it hourishes
just across the border in Canada2
or course our protectionist friends
will shout TARIFF, TARIFF"
but the fact is that the tariff has
nothing to do with the case. 1t
costs just as much to saw lumber
on the Canadian as on the Ameri-
can side of the international boun-
Diary line. But on the American
side we have permitted the lum Der
trust to gobble up most of our tim
Der land and the remainder has

That perhaps more than any other
single fact characterizes the life of
farmer His work never can be
standardized. He must always be in
the act of deciding what to do next.
His work from day to day, even from
hour to hour, has to be adjusted to
the conditions of soil and climate, the
eXigencies of plant and animal life,
etc. This is no kind of life for man
who is only capable of doing what he
is told and incapable Of deciding him
self what is the next thing to be
done. This process Of selection, as |
said. makes a rural population very
independent in spirit and tempora-
mentally difficult to organize.
another psychological difficulty
perhaps grows out of the fact that the
farmers success has in the past de-
rended very little upon his mental
adaptabiity to other men. He has had
to control the forces ofsnature rather
than the forces of society He is,
therefore less adept in those arts and
graces which adorn social life, simply
because his living has not depended
upon it.
"The idea seems to prevail at the
present time said DR. Carver in con.
clusion. that all that is necessary is
to enable the farmer to grow his
products and to buy and sell to ad-
vantage. in order that his income may
be increased ! dare say that most
people who are thinking on this prob
lem today, believe that the problem
is solved when the farmer has been
assured a satisfactory income win
to insist. on the contrary. that this
is only half the problem Paradox

of actual observation that the sec.
Itions of the country where the land
lis richest. where crops have been
most abundant. where land has reach.
cd the highest price, and the farm
owners attain to the highest degree
of prosperity, are the very sections
from which the farm owners are re
firing from the farms most rapidly
and leaving them to tenants.
I'VE may as well face the fact first
as last, that there are only two things
that viii keep people in the country
one is poverty or the inability g
live in town. The other is, an al
tractiye country life which will in
duce people to stay in the country
even though they are financially able
to live in town. The only thing, Their

emily attractive to keep people in

A Favorable Report.

Writ Franklin, president of the To- |
cal organization of oil producers, has
received a report of an analysis OF
a sample of the Healdton oil which
was sent to the department OF chem
lstry of the state university. The re-
port will be interesting to all persons
who have kept up with the situation
here. 1t Is interesting and encour-
aging because it shows the ilealdton
crude to be a valuable refining OIL
and it is interesting because 1t shows
different analysis from that made
by the pipe line people. For instance
the Magnolia analysis shows "a per
cent naphtha or gasoline, and the
state university shows 1l.9 per cent
gasoline: the Magnolia test showed
2O9 per cent refined oil or kerosene,
and the state university test SHOWS
3l.S per cent kerosene, The report
of the analysis is very encouraging
for the reason that it demonstrates
that rehneries can be built in Ard
more, and operated at profit ltI
means that they will be built here
and Ardmore will profit not only by
the oil fields, but by having reiineries
located here, which will result IN
making Ardmore an oil center LOT
many years to come.
