MIGHT AS WELL PAY

While it may be that there is Il dis
tinct trail OF blackmail III the Colon
bian treaty, which was reported To the
Senate from committee yesterday, il
is possible. in view of the critical stu
alton of our international affairs and
the importance Of avoiding any break
in our friendly relations with any OF
the South American republics, to dis
miss that feature from further consid
Grafton and in the interests Of peace
pay the sum decided upon. There is
no injured national honor involved IN
the transaction. Colombia is greedy
only for the money, and in the pay
ment OF the money it should be dis
tinctly understood that it carries with
it no apology whatever for what the
United States has done on the 18TH
mus of Panama.
Bryan insisted on making the treaty
an offensive reflection on both the
Roosevelt and Taft administrations,
without any other grounds than polit-
ical e1pediency. This feature has
been eliminated. as intlmated in the
majority report Of the committee,
which urges the "burying Of tho old
controversy over Roosevelts methods
Of acquiring tho canal zone. The
fact that Senator Knox has joined
with the Democrats in favor Of the
ratification Of the treaty strengthens
the argument for settlement of this
troublesome question. AS Secretary
of Stale he is acquainted with The
whole story of the negotiations. and
if he can waive any objections. that
could reasonably be entertained, 9th
ers Of his party ought not to be slow
to make the same sacrifice 10 the end,
as Senator Knox pertinently puts
il. of closing q grievance, which
whether tancied or real. has grown so
traditional as 10 be unSuSCeptlblc OF
obliteration in any other way.

THE ERUPTION IN RUSSIA

The abdication Of Emperor Mich
olas OF Russia. and the appointment
of Grand Duke Michael Alexandra
witch as regent was accomplished by a
revolutionary movement which has
been working for. some time past for
the climax which occurred yesterday.
At this distance it is impossible to tell
just what forces were working for the
overthrow. Il can only be surmised
that certain Influences were dominat-
ing the Car which were offensive to
the true. spirit OF Russia. That the
revolution does not look towards Sc
curing a separate peace for Russia in
dictates that the war party is in con-
troll. and that il had become impatient
Of the intrigues that were going on
which promised TO withdraw Russia
from the conflict.

THE PROSPECTIVE STRIKE

Tho failure OF the Brotherhoods OF
Railway Trainmen and tho railroad
operatives 70 come 70 any agreement
threatens to precipitate disastrous
strike. resulting in prospective appal-
ling Inconvenience to the public.
Such situation could noe long be
maintained in this country. The
American people arc not going 70
starYe and freeze while immorable
employees and employers fight out
their private quarrels. The railroads
must be operated in some way, and
they will be, and whatever way that
may be the public will approve Of.
The Intelligencer does NOT know
how the difficulty is 10 be solved, but
such a situation as would involve the
complete tie-up of the transportation
lines would be intolerable, and can
not be contemplated as being of but
short duration.

OF FREEDOM

The proceedings OF an "indignation'
meeting held in New York recently
throw some light on the character OF
the food riots" that were staged i'll
that city some weeks ago. At the
time The lntelligenccr suggested that
an investigation of their Indictment
would disclose that they had been pro-
noted by vicious interests that had
used the unfortunate people through
ulterior motives. AT the 'indlgna-
lion" meeting referred to one of the
speakers consciously or inadvertently
let the cat out OF the bag. 1t came
from the lips OF one of the women who
was conspicuous in leading the mob.
She had this to say:
1T isn't 4 question Of eating beans.
smelts, honiny or rice; It's question OF
L right to satisfy every taste. 1t isn't
cry OF poverty; it's a cry or the spirit OF
freedom. We are now asking for ordi-
more We are going to ask for the eS-
traordinary pleasures. We want TO eS-
tablish the principle that the city should
have the right to feed It's citizens"
1t doesn't require a very alert mind
to sHt the anarchism from the thin
masquerade of words. SO it wasn't
the cry OF poverty that walled through
the streets Of New York and asked
for bread, we are starving. Oh, no.
According to our Lady anarchist it
was "a CRY of freedom. Sure enough.
We get you No work, no toll, no
striving, no rational living. Just an
orgie Of existence on free food. free
telephones, free movies, free love, free
speech, free rum, and no Sunday. We
have been talking more or less earn
estly about treason OF late, but it
seems we have overlooked this class
of traitors, the most insidious that we
have in the country. and who breed
the vernin of disloyalty. The spirit
Of freedom. Bah.

WEST POINTS WEAKNESS

The United States Military Acad-
envy at West Point WAS established
for tho purpose Of training officers for
the army--to give us men informed in
military science to lead our armies.
Has it met the demands? That is a
question which fair critic takes, up
and answers by telling us that since
the Academy was created BY act OF
Congress in 1902 there have been
about 27,00O officers of the regular
army. OF these less than one-fifth
were graduates of West Point! If
one should count in the entire armed
service of this country, regulars and
volunteers together, it would be found
that less than per cent OF the Off
GERS upon whom this nation has had

MIR, CHILTON's CONTEST"

Former Senator Chiffon dies hard,
but not game. His action in contest
INK me title ut his successful oppo-
nent, the Hon. Howard Sutherland.
who has just taken his seat in the
Senate. establishes him as an infant
exper, in the baby game. His con-
tentions are ridiculous, based on the
allegation that Senator Sutherland
spent sums in excess OF the legal al
lowance imposed by the State laws.
A larger respect and greater sympa-
thy would have followed Mr. Chiffon
in his retirement had be accepted. the
verdict registered by the people IN
good part, instead of becoming the
peevish complainer he has.
There is no relevancy in the charges
against Senator Sutherland. 1t is
we'll known, aud not reflection on
him, that he is a man Of only moder-
ate circumstances, and was without
ability to meet more than the usual
contribution TO the State Committee
for campaign expenses. II the State
Committee spent more money it was
in behalf Of a hundred other candi-
dates, and not Mr.. Sutherland individ-
ually, but which were perfectly legit-
innate expenditures. If Mr.. Chilton'S
contentious were at all applicable 10
the case they would also invalidate
the election of Governor Cornwell and
the Democratic Congressman elected,
for the Democratic State Committee
was quite as profuse in spending
money as the Republican Committee.
Indeed it might be said to reach the
higher ups, for the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, by its own confes-
sion, was lavish dispenser Of cam
paign coin. The application OF the
Chiffon grievances would also invall-
date the election Of Woodrow Wilson.
