FAIR PAYMENT FOR PANAMA

Discussing the reparaton due Colombia for the taking OF Panama,
upon the basis of actual property transferred. Mr.. Bryan is unanswer-
able. says the New York World.
Drop for the moment all consideration OF the manner OF the taking
assume that a strong nation simply condemned the property of a
weaker one for an international public Improvement when the TWO failed
to agree-at least the property taken should be paid for as in other
condemnation oceedngs.
Colombia had nothing to sell; permission to the French company
to transfer its concession. which was forbidden in the De LeSeps con-
tract; $250Oo' a year from the operation OF the canal after its opening
to traffic; the rcversion OF the concession in nnety-nine years. and
$250WO a yea from the Panama railroad and its rcversion after a
similar period. For all that W e were willing eleven years ago to pay
the equivalent of $17O00O00-and leave sovereignty over Panama to
Colombia, with the immense advantage it presented of a short land
route between the oceans. ~. $500
Mr.. Bryan is right. There is no justice in the theory that Colon

ages at all" She is entitled to damages in a substantial sum-. More

Boards were taxed at one time, and Henry VIII, who wore one
himself free of charge, graded the tax according to the statuso of the
wearer. The archbishop of Canterbury had to pay IS 4d for his face

.f Richard II imposed a poll tax which affected both males and females
from 10 years upward. An earl had to pay ga, as also had the mayor
of London, while a married man had to pay fourpnce for himself and
his wife and a single woman had to Pay just a much. No wonder this
tax led to Wat Tyers rebellion. "
The most odious tan W. introduced was that of the birth tax,
which came into operation in 1906. This tan ranged from $50 O n te
birth OF a duke to IS for a workngmans child. Taxes were also i'm
posed on burials and marriages.

WAsH1NGToN, Aug. 9.--"The women OF
this country should realize how tremen-
dously any war. particularly such a one
as the terrible conflict now raging In
Europe, demands the exercise OF the
nobest ualties and finest attributes of
womanhood." said Mrs. Arthur NJ Dodge
of New York head OF the -sufrragists
Women OF royal birth in Europe
already have volunteered their services
in nursing the wounded. The American
Red Cross stands ready to rush It's heroic
women to the help of those suffering from
battle and disease. In such countries as
France the women are doing the work OF
the men who have been called to the
front
1T Is an encouraging and an inspiritns
thing to note how the womanhood of the
world upon whom in the last analysis
demands of war are always the most
onerous. have responded 10 the present
demand" Mrs Dodge continued.
TT Is significant fact that when
women OF practically the entire civilized
world are busying themselves with
humanitarian plans for relieving the dis.
tress and misery incident upon the
tremendous conflict In Europe the sut-
fragists In this country should confins
themselves to their selfish plans fov
raising money for advertising and promot.
