The Colombian Treaty

The senate it is understood will ratfy the treaty with Colombia, negotiated by Mr. Bryan when sec retary of state several years ago The treaty had it's origin with the Taft administration proposed the payment to Colombia of $25,OOOOOO for the loss of Panama during the administration of President Roosevelt It failed of ratification at that time and in the spirit in which it presented it would prob- ably have been ratified by a really American senate.
 It was negotiated by MT. Bryan who injected into lt something of his own small nature that of the partisan politician. It contained an expression of tregret" at the circumstances which had deprived Colombia of the Panaman territory. Ar, Wilson and Mir Bryan who aiming directly at Colonel Roosevelt doubtless believed that the democratic senate would promptly ratify the treaty but to the credit of some of the democrats the treaty failed session after. session Though the amount proposed to be paid Colombia was reduced the objectionable "resret" insisted upon by both MT. Bryan and Alr Wilson but later AIr. Wilson until now ,re ad- ministraton has given that up republican sen- ate will probably ratify the treaty
 There has always been Willingness to recom- pense Colombia not for the loss of Panama but for the canal zone though Panama was later paid s1O,- 100000 for that concession with an annuity to begin He years alef ana run TOT lVO years. In prOJected treaty with Colombia before the Panaman revolution this government had agreed on the same terms only ihe annuity of $25OOOO begin with the ratifi- cation of the treaty
 It the refusal of the Colombian senate to rltify this treaty that produced the dissatisfaction that resulted in the revolution. Though President Roosevelts political enemies charged him with hay ing connived the revolution and with having aided the revoIutioniss, he acted only under such powers as were conveyed by the treaty of 1S46 permitting the United States uninterrupted passage between Acca- Puco and Colon. American gunboats refused to per nit the landing of Colombian troops at Colon to sup press the revolution Though the powers exercised by the United States perhaps not such as had been contemplated in the treaty of 1S46 they were such as the language of the treaty permitted
 There was moreover the justification by the end 7f the means was necessary that the canal should De constructeda work made impossible by the cupid Hy of the Colombian senate
 It is doubt well for Colombia that it did not receive the money at that time It would have be- some the private property of statesmen" so that hc state itself would actually have derived nothing from the concession.
 The ratification of the treaty now will not he in any sense recognition of a wrong done to Co., ombia It will be effected rather for the purpose of more closely cementng our relations with our Latin American neighbors.

The over-weenins Question

If congress and the president do something to relieve the cost of living what they may do or may fail do with respect to the peace treaty and the League of Nations will be forgiven them. Those and other matters real and ideal have been thrust into the background We are caring much about forms of government humanity and posterty The question of things to eat and to wear and materials for providing sheter-the earliest and most pressing needs of mankind has been brought close to the people.
 With prices of necessary foods and clothing dou- bled with dollar coffee and sOO suits of clothes and SEQ shoes in the offng, the average citizen apt to about our political relations with the world, and he is apt to feel resentul toward government which fritters away it's time on such distant and ab stract subjects
 The situation is perplexing than the We knew then what had to do and quickly learned how it. We could see through it and we knew there would be an end of it.
 But the wisest have discerned no way for the abatement of the cost of living. We have learned that it not be accomplished by merely command ing II. c. L. to come down out of the tree It cannot be accomplished by the process of raising wages or by deflating the dollar as has been proposed What is wanted is a restoration of the relations that ex- isted before people began to complain of the high cost of living when the dollar contained hundred honest cents.
 If we could tell congress and the president how to do it we would do so, though they are being paid salaries for that kind of work and we are not But we do not know We think that somebody is manipu- lating supplies and prices but we are not able to prove it. 4

Somewhere on a Train.

 My Own Joan:
 I almost wish I hadn't undertaken this trip. No, 1 don't mean that. But I'm upset-and all on account of that most exasperating Jimmie Ross never supposed that poor little color less chap had it in him. l wrote you before that Jim Ross is one of those youths no girl particularly notices un til he suddenly begins to make love to her He has but a single talent courting. And a man may be neutral tinted narrow shouldered. nearsghted, and shy, but if he attaches himself to l a girl with the fidelity of an airedale. anticipates her every wish. ignores her every slight, has eyes for none but her and makes love with all the in- tensity of one track mind, I challenge that girl to remain totally unimpressed.
 Now when I told young Ross l was | going away for two weeks in the mountains, and he insisted he was coming to see me there, I merely | laughed and tried to put it out of mind. I was busy getting off, and did not see him again until I was going down the hotel steps to get aboard the 1 bus for the station.
 l Suddenly from a little blue roadster | tat whipped up to the door, sprang Jimmie. He seized my bag from the startled bellhop. laid hold of my el- bow and proceeded to haul me gently but firmly toward the car
 You didn't suppose" said James, q was going to let you go to town on that stupid train did you? Cars been in the repair shop nearly month, but 1 got her out just in time I'll spin you to the Grand Central or the Penn or wherever it is you go.
 But I've got to make the twelve ten" l gasped, rather undone by the turn of affairs.
 wen make it all right, don't worry. Come, jump in.'
 He had tipped the boy slowed my suitcase in the little car and tucked me neatly in before I knew what was happening. The thing whirred rasped. coughed and shot forward with a jerk that nearly severed my cranial verte- brae, and we were off toward New 1 York
 I am not used to motor cars Joan, worse luck. And especially am I not used to being kidnapped in them. The | breathlessness of it all kept me from | conversing over much until we were a third of the way to town. Then I became conscious of Jimmie repeating | something again and again. gradually , increasing the volume of his tone till it rouse me.
 Where is it you're going?" was what he was saying.
 Oh a place in Jersey, Jimmie don't insist on knowing As matter of fact I'm going on business and don't want anyone to write or come or-or anything"
 What sort of business?" persisted James.
 In connection with my work l told you l was a stenOgrapher. not a lady of fortune as you seemed to think

 Wouldn't it be exciting if we were watching our own Jim perform" re- marked Chrys.
 Well. it might very well be" said l, my eyes still fixed On the fisherman. Did that man see more than we did, wondered, in the pilots acrobatics?
 Why was he so uneasy? Was he afraid of losing what the depths con- cealed that even a plane lowering aimlessly near at hand worried him?
 Next day Jim. Jr.. had leave of ab- sence, and I joined the family in their New York quarters.
 Daddy had written him. long ago. that I was among the living. and Jim and l perfected by correspondence our plans for sailing away on a treasure hunt.
 Neither of us wasted much time in exclamations and sentiment when at last we met. We had got through all that by letter. but Jim did administer a resounding kiss right in the middle of my forehead. And the family left us alone for one of our confidential chats after dinner.
 Some old plot you've hashed up Sis said Jimmy boy. I've been car rying student observers around lately and whenever I've had photographer up I've had him snap that suspicious ] point of the triangle. with a camera of my own. We've done the thing from | various heights. and in sunny and | cloudy weather but we got nothing ] for our pains-until yesterday"

 Don't worry about those fellows Sis. Read this" Jim handed me g blurred photograph
 Means nothing in my young life Jimmy boy" I said as l gave 1t back
 T suppose you expected to see ; sized U-boat, and all you can mak, out is a shadow. But my observer say' it's hummock-a little hill on thu ocean bottom. Do you see what tha means?" Jim asked. Partly buried already. The diver will have to dil his way in. But let our rivals ge to it.'
 Yes, said l. Thanks to your cam era practice. we've got the start ol them. We know where to dig"

Mir. Sims Bill

Representative Sims of Tennessee introducing his government ownership of the railroad bill in forms the world that it would establish harmony between the public interest and labor and would long way toward reducing the high cost of living. Just what Mr. Sims means by the public interest we do not know. If he the interest of the public the producers. the shippers and at length the con and that is all of who have at last to pay the of transportation. he is certainly mistaken There can be no harmony between high wages which make high and the people who have to pay those rates but do not share the wages.
 If by the public the representative means the administration which at one time wanted gov ernment ownership, then there may be some har- mony between that public interest and labor. But we doubt very much whether the administration wants public ownership Its fingers have been burned with government direction. We do not be- leve that anybody really wants government ownership except the railway laborers who believe they would be more literally dealt with by the gov ernment than by private employers by socialists and dreamers who would see in government owner ship long step toward the sociaizaton of industry
 It would be interesting to learn though from MT. Sims how government ownership of the railways would contribute the lower of living. Could the government manage the roads more economically and efficiently than it has managed them the last three years, piling up wages, deficits and rates' Would it seem good business to put the roads in per petuity into the hands of who has made such conspicuous failure of experiment and whose failure has admittedly contributed much to the present cost of living?
 But the bill of MT Sims has probably gone as far as it is likely go that discussion of it here or elsewhere is a waste of time.
