Pliny some hundred years later, who
gives them an interesting chapter in
his natural history. Centuries before
the birth OF Christ boatloads of an
Gent beehives fioated up and down
the Nile, following the circle of the
summer season, and the bees probably
reveled in the bowers at Babylon's
gardens even as they do among tho
hollyhocks of today. We still get the
Grecian honey, redolent Of wild

Treaty with Ninararna.

The treaty with Nicaragua. just ratified by
the United States senate, is part Of the obliga-
tion that came with the building OF the Parma
canal. In granting to the United states in per-
petuity a right TO construct a ship canal along
what has long been known as the Nicaragua
route" the Central American government has
ceded but little, since, with the Panama canal
Open little likelihood exists OF the longer route
being used This route stoutly advocated
by Senator Morgan OF Alabama during the long
days OF debate prior to the final determination
on the Panama project. Some interest has Of
late attached 20 IL because of renewed allega-
tions that Germany had offered Nicaragua to
purchase the right-of-way now granted to the
United States.
The most important features o. the treaty
are those that have to do with the cession of the
Corn islands in the caribbean sea and site to
be designated on the coast Of the Gulf Of Fon-
SEGA. to be used as naval bases for the protec-
ton Of the great canal These sites are vital in
the defense program. On the Atlantic side. the
base at Guantanamo is the closest, while on the
Pacific side no naval station closer than San
Francisco exists. While shops, dry docks and
the like are projected for Balboa, at the Pacific
end OF the canal, and Notifications are estab-
lished at both ends the independent stations
for the navy are essential parts of the whole
plan and could not be neglected.
Protests from Costa Rica, Honduras and
Salvador against the presence of the United
States on Nicaraguan territory will not be given
very serious consideration. on the Gulf OF
Fonseca either Honduras OF Salvador might
have been approached for a site had It not been
for the negotiations concerning the canal route.
Costa RIGA has little TO complain Of. The
treaty itself has been unfortunately involved
with the effort at blackmail being pushed by
Colombia but now that It has been sent along
for Nicaraguan action. tho way will be cleared
for consideration OF the Wilson Bryan attempt
to dlscredit the work OF President Roosevelt and

Making Laws in oklahoma.

Lawmaking in Oklahoma continues to be
strenuous business, II accounts of how one roll
call vote was taken are reliable. The scene in
the house while the democrats we're driving
through an election bill may not be taken as
typical of methods prevailing In that state, but
IL is indicative OF the spirit Of the party In
power there. This Is the state for which the
great commoner" prepared the constitution.
II had to be modified in some ways before the
enabling act could get through congress. but It
has often been referred TO as a model for the
conservation of all human liberties. II worked
so we'll that under its operations the. democrats
passed the grandfather" law, which disfran-
chised the negro voters OF the state. This law
was set aside by the supreme court OF the
United States. and the disgraceful scene in the
legislature was engendered by the effort to
enact another law to prevent negroes from
voting.
Democrats are defiant In all parts of the
south. when IL comes to the right OF all citizens
TO vote. Regardless OF the guaranty of the
constitution of the United States. these bitter
partisans want the franchise exercised only by
those in accord with the party. Many different
ways of accomplishing this result have been
adopted. but the result is the same. and a large
number OF voters are kept from the polls by
reason OF democratic tactics,
Oklahomas method OF making laws is crude,
perhaps. but scarcely more brutal than the eau
Gus plan that prevails at Washington where the
south is in the saddle.

Freedom of Discussion.

GREELEY, Neb., Feb. 49, To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: 1t is rather disappoint-
ing to see Mr.. Bradshaw withdraw from
the debate on freedom of the press, which
ne entered in such a breezy manner.
Even though his contribution, as he as
serts, served it's purpose.
or course, that purpose was TO pro-
tect the constitution from fierce attacks.
This surely was the time for the
patriot to stand by the colors, but
well constitution-defending hero Is a
queer kind of animal.
No Mr.. Bradshaw. I'm not zone OF
the gang that Metcalfe IS trying to ac-
commodate by muzzling the press on re-
ligious discussion" If such a gang exists,
II certainly is unknown to me.
Unfortunately II isn't always the
searchlight Of truth that is brought to
bear on religion and religious questions.
On the contrary, in nearly every instance
IL Is the darklantern of ignorance, pre-
Judice and hatred. Is It reasonable to
expect that conclusions arrived at by
such people with such a light can be
fair TO the church or religion exposed to
the more or less annoying rays OF that
pestiferous little "glim?''
Since this debate began an unknown
admirer (O in Omaha sent me a copy

any doubts as to the measure of freedom
the press OF today is enjoying under our

look at It and all doubts will be dis
