is to endure, for it is made up wholly of these units. In them it's whole strength les. If the units are weak and compromising, the national Pro- gressive party is, and must of neces- sity be, weak.
 If Cne unit, one county or state may yield to compromise with the Republi- can or any other party not in sym- pathy with Progressive principles, ev- cry country and every state, may do the same thing; the national party it. self may with as much right surren- der and declare that it has no right to exist.
 The Pima Progressives declare that they have made no mistake. Progress s.vism was right two years agOo and it is right now. Any dilution of it by compromise would be fatal.
 One reward of the Progressives of Pima will probably be victory in the county next fall. They have earned, and, we believe, enjoy the confidence Of the members of the Democratic and Republican parties who care less for party supremacy than they do for good governent. The Pima Progressive plan will win. No other pan can win.

THE HAY-PAUNCEFORTE
 TREATIES

The key to the correct interpreta- ton of the second HayPauncefote Treaty is to be found in what took place between the failure of the United States, Senate to ratify the first Hay Pauncefote Treaty and the ratifica- ton of the treaty now in force; that is, between February 5, 1900, and De- cember 16, 1901, a period of nearly two years, during which changes oc- cured in the fundamental idea of the treaty which are not only radical but entirely subvers:ve to the system of relations embodied in the original Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
 In the First Hay-Pauncefote Treaty the following limitations were placed on the United Staes:
 CD The United States and Great Britain jointly adopt the rules for the use Of the canal.
 @ No Notifications are permitted on CT near the canal;
 (3) The canal is to be kept open t0 the vessels fo commerce and of war of all nations, on terms of en- tire equality;
 CD The canal cannot be closed by either power in time of war; and
 (5) Great Britain, equally with the United States and all nations using the canal is bound to protect it and enforce the rules.
 In the second HayPauncefote Treat ty all these positions are reversed, and the result is:
 CD The United States alone adopts the rules for the use of the canal;
 @ FortifIcations are not prohi- bited
 (3) There is an obligation to grant to other nations a share in the con trol of the canal;
 (Q It IS not necessary to keep the canal open when the United States is at war; and
 (5) There is no obligation on the part of anyone to aid the United States in protecting the canal.
 Thus, in every essential point, the 'entire equality of all nations in the canal except perhaps, in the matter of charges, which by the treaty now in force must be just and equitable, whatever that may imply,-the concep- ton of the treaty has radically chang cd since the time of the Clayton-Bul- wdf convention-From Supremacy Jayne Hill, in the American Review of Reviews for June.

AN INSPIRATION FROM AsHURsT

It is a wise man who changes his mind, and Henry AshuTst is wise. Re gently Henry has given two good eX- amples of the wisdom of changing his mind 4 few weeks ago he came out with the statement that he had de cided to vote in favor Of the repea: of the clause eXempting the Amo;:can ships from the payment of Panama Canal tolls. At the last minute he began to get fearful lest the great body of his constituents would net Gp prove such course, wired a Bisbee ,abor leader for a tip on, how to vo.e

 Henry waited for W:nsor to get out }f town, and then changed his mind With one of the attorneys for the settlers, he visited the Secretary Of he Interior and the Assistant secre- 5ary, who heard the case and urged them to issue patents in all cases.

THE ATTITUDE OF
 THE J. 5. AT PANAMA

Having obtained the desired supre- acy in the canal, the government of the United States can afford to be generous as we'll as just in it's treat ment of neutrals. It's obligations to impose only just and equitable condi- tions and charges becomes the more binding because of the power which it possesses over the canal It's oppor- tunity for maintaining the peace of the world and cultivating the amity of all nations is thereby enormously in creased, but in improving this oppor- tunity it should not permit it's para mount rights to be obscured or abridged
 In the course of time every nation al right is liable to be tested. The time will possibly come when every right the United States possesses in the Panama Canal-its right to close the canal, to defend it with ships with in the three-mile limit. to revictual it's vessels within the canal, and to sub- sidize it's ocrean-going vessels that pass through twill be called in ques tlon under this treaty. It is better that all these questions be set at rest Defore they arse in some critical mo ment. Trey are all involved in the one gl eat question of supremacy: which, if it open to debate, should not be left in doubt.
 International questions can never be settled permanently regardless of the right or wrong which they involve. and accusations of bad faith do not promote mutual confidence.
 If treaties are misunderstood. they may require revision. In the meantime acton may be suspended, but it's uI- innate adoption when duly considered need not be abandoned
 The important matter is that no na t1onal right should be surrendered or weakened by implication until it is conclusively determined that it is not right, and this is especially true of a right that it is believed has once been fairly acquired. Any interna- tional right by continuous concessions may eventually disappear-F "Su- premacy in the Panama Canal" by David Jayne Hill, in the American Re view of Reviews for June.

FiTipinos Abolish Slavery.

The Filipino national assembly has passed a law for the abolition of slav- cry in every form throughout the archipelago. A few years ago the assembly was opposed to such action on the ground that slavery did not ac- tualiy exist, claiming that where it did exist in isolated cases it could be dealt with under the old Spanish laws. Now, however, the evidence unearthed by the American investigators has convinced the native body of legisla- tors of the advisibility of admitting conditions which they had believed were effectually hidden, and they have enacted a sweeping statute doing away with it forever

THE PRoeREssIvEs OF PIMA

The progressive party in Pima coun- ty is stronger than it was two years ago, says the Arizona Republican. It is also more determined; in deadlier earnest than it was even in that in tense presidential campaign under a great and popular leader. The solid arity and growth of the party in Pima is the natural result of action on a true conception of the mission of the party which was not formed for the capture of offices, but as an instru- ment for the benefit of the people, all the people.
 The Progressives of Pima have lis tened to no proposals for a compro- mise. They have not turned aside from the course on which they set out two years ago when they endorsed the principles of the August convention at Chicago. If those principles seem ed right and enduring then, nothing has since occurred to make them now seem wrong and transitory. If they were applicable to the Progressive party of the nation, they were, and are yet, the principles of the party in every state and county of the nation, and they must be, if the national party

 In a recent tabulation of post-mor- tens made in connection with hospital work in this city, fifty-six per cent of the cases were wrongly diagnosed. AS this is an admission made by the doc tors themselves, it is certain that it does not overstate the case

DISTRUST OE HEALTH RULES

The New York Commercial says:
 Clean streets and houses, proper ventilation and good drinking water are necessaries and safeguards to health which all intelligent people rec cgnize and advocate. Beyond this is doubt and confusion. Physicians dis agree and confute one another in re gard to what should be the most ele- mental principles relating to public health. They differ about the toxic properties and the medicinal value Of alcohol, though beverages containing substantial proportions of alcohol have been used by men since the earliest ages. They fail to agree about the treatment of typhoid fever, especially 2s to the nutTiment to be administered 70 patients.
 In one great hospital in this city the milk is the standby. In the most famous hospital in this country out side of New York City milk is con 3idered a rank poison in such cases. Some surgeons and physicians, given Q recommending operations in every possible case, advocate major opera lions for the removal of internal or gans as preventives in the cases of persons in good health Physicians have been unable to come to any agree ment regarding the functions of the gall bladder and the vermiform appen- dix. A perfect mania prevails for re moving tonsils and the latest word seems to be that most of these opera lions were unjustifiable and are in all cases attended with much greater risks to life and health than has hither- to been supposed.
 Ever since the scendaI Of the Thaw case, which was merely the culmina tiOn of long series of such exposures of the willingness of doctors to testify for substantial retainers, dstrust has grown rapidly. Now that the physi clans who expect to do the work have come forward in this city and have tried to force all school children tC submit to vaccination once every foul years or even Oftener, the public Is beginning to ask whether the doctors know what they are talking about. Be tween their ridiculous quaTrels and their eXtravagant claims to scientific knowledge they have shaken confi- dence and the difficulties which the board of health has to face are greater than ever before.
 People who must pay the doctors for operating either by way of direct fees or by taxation see only the greed of certain members of tic profession What the doctors have to gain is so

 JONATHON

JOnathOn Bourne, former Senator from Oregon and chairman of the joint Congressional Committee on railroad mail pay, declares that he is thor oughly convinced that in carrying tne mails the railroads should be paid a rate that would give the same return, Fer car mile, that they got on the average from passenger traffic. ," When Mir. Bourne was in the Senate he frequently told the Senate what it should do about such matters, but while his opportunities in that respect have been materially lessened, yet in his new post, very accomOdatingly provided by former President Taft, he has advanced a great government road making plan. He says his convictions individual conclusions which have been reached after many months of
 study of the subject. Everything that is necessary to increase the vol ume of passenger traffic is a relative ly corresponding benefit to the mail n it's transportation over the rail roads" says MT. Bourne. The Post office department has advanced the theory that the mail shall not bear its relative proportion of expensive terminals, ticket agents, and many other things pertaining to the passen- ger service. but 1 assert this conten- ton is not sound. The volume of pas senger business depends on all of these things and they are necessary to the incer8se of passenger business and hence. necessary for mail trans 0ortatiOn, and the government should gay it's relative proportion of same
