THE RAPE OF COLOMBIA

n EPUBLICAN SENATOR'S and certain less
IN er lights in the gop party are weeping
over the Shantung arrangement, but they have
succeeded in having stricken from the Colom-
bian treaty the clause expressing regret for
the events from which the present situation on
the Isthmus of Panama resulted.' The com
mittee has eliminated that clause. "This sec
ton" we are told through the Associated
Press, was strongly opposed by senate repub-
icans and was the cause of the long delay in
acting on the treaty"
Now, after these many years, the United
States is to pay $25,O00,000 to the little repub-
lie of Colombia by way of compensation for
the taking of Panama. The republic which was
robbed under Roosevet's administration is to
get these few millions in reparation, but is not
to get proper apology for the high-handed-
ness of the plucking Of Panama out of Colon
bian territory.
1t appears that the republicans felt that to
express regret for the manner Of doing the
deed would be casting a reflection upon the
memory of President Roosevelt We should
remember that President Roosevelt was not the
United States, and if anything done under his
administration was Wrong-Was an lnterna-
tional wrong-and generally admitted as such,
as in the present instance-respect for the
dead supplies no sufficient reason against Of

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH CHICAGO?

NEWS DISPATCHES from Chicago convey
~ the impression that the whites are the chief
aggressors in the race riots which have result
ed in the deaths of more than score OF per
sons and injuries to hundreds in that city. The
outbreak started after white bathers at one Oh
Chicago's lake beaches had murdered Il negro
boy by stoning him when he was afioat on a
raft, causing him to drown. That infamous
crime very naturally caused resentment upon
the part Of the negroes. II negroes similarly
had murdered a white boy the whites would
have been quick to avenge the crime Human
nature is the same, whether white or black be
the skin of the human.
AS the dispatches continue to come IN, the
evidence tending to show that the whites are
responsible for the major part Of the disorders
continues to accumulate. 1t is to be hoped that
after the excitement ceases there Will be calm
and careful investigation, to the end that JUS
tce be done in placing the blame In the ma
ture of things it will be extremely difficult to
punish the actual criminals who have made
Chicago place of terror for several days ana
nights but every effort should be made to dis
cover and tell the truth about this most un1or-
tunate affair.
Illinois has yet to answer for the East ST.
Louis affair Of two years ago, when the whites
set out to extirpate the negroes Of that sorrow
full city on the eastern bank of the Mississippi
MANY murders in cold blood were committed
bv the white rioters in East st. Louis. Chicago

gree of civilization than had been reached by
East St Louis. Now, with many thousands Of
Chicagoans Oh the race-war path, Chicago is
burdehed with the proof of proving her superl-
ority, if such exists, over the unspeakabe bor-
ough of East st. Louis
The negroes also have committed crimes in
Chicago, but the whites have melted them to
such deeds. 1t is up to the Chicago Tribune,
by the way to do some explaining Just now. The
Tribune has had the habit of denouncing the
South for mistreating the negro. What's the
