Colombia than any other region, and
that the payment of such e sum
would be 'blood-money. However,
as soon as Colombia found that it
would receive this amount of money
it struck for greater sum, and
while relations were strained between
the two governments one-day re-
volution brought the republican of
Panama into existence. Colombia
started an army to seize its revolving
dominion, but President Roosevelt
made it so plain that the United
States would enter the war, if there
was one, that the Colombians finally
withdrew. Shortly thereafter the
Colombians demanded $20,000,000 to
salve their wounded feelings, and this
estimate they raised to $40,000,000,
but the compromise was finally affect
ed at $25,000,000. 1t is suspected
that the reason why Colombia has
hesitated from April to December to
accept the amount is due to desire
on the part of some of it's politicians
to raise the amount.
THE RELEASE OF DEBS
The pardoning of Eugene Debs
must be considered as purely COM
plimentary to the individual Debs,
since there isn't drop Of sympathy
in the Administration or the Depart
ment of Justice TO rthe socialistic
freedom of speech Of Debs. Doubt
less the President and the Attorney
| General arrived at about the same
conclusion as did the Mayor of New
York several years ago, when he an
press" the malcontents with an or
swered the popular demands to sup
der giving every one of them the
privilege to mount their own soap
box and s'talk their fool heads off I"
And when they were given this OPP
portunity many of them quickly
found out how worthless they were.
Debs has emerged from prison TO be
hailed as the champion of the pro
letariat," and strangely enough
leaders in the American Federation
of Labor have helped to boost him
into public notice. Already he has
begun the stale-worn preachments of
the socialists and is in fair way
to go the route of the soap-box men.
Debs is to be given all the rope he
needs, and the Government believes
that in this way he, ard all who think
as he does, will do less damage in
the country than posing in martyr
dom behind prison bars.

out consulting the wishes of the
farm bloc. This means "comprom-
ises," and that is the thing the old
guard hates-but it is something
that has always been done, and al
ways will be done, by the managers
IF the destinies Of political parties.
Some of the provisions of the tax
bill were dictated by the farm bloc,
and in that legislation the bloc show
ed that no party program can get
through Congress that does not have
it's support. Senator Kenyon of
Iowa, is the recognized head of the
farm bloc, and he is supported by
Senator Capper of Kansas, and a
great many of the Republican lead
ers in both Houses from the Middle
West and Far West. The farm bloc
does not represent "split" in the
Republican party. On the contrary
lit is a new "power."
WALLACE DEFENRS
THE FARM BLOC
While the President and Secretary
Weeks have disapproved of some of
the methods of the farm bloc it is
very interesting to follow the course
of Secretary Wallace, head of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who has
rallied to the support of the legisla-
ton approval by the farm bloc. "That
anyone should be disposed to regard
suck legislation as of the nature OF
class legislation, intended to or hav-
| ing the effect of benefiting one group
at the expense of other groups, is
surprising" he declares. 1T is not
| in any sense class legislation" ne
continues. "Our first task is to
bring agriculture through this cri-
teal period with the least possible
damage. Senators and Representa-
tives from the surplus-producing
States appreciate the gravity of the
situation, as, indeed do hundreds OF
LnOuSdIluS Ol OuSlllCSO AlCii WIN hos =
dealings with the farmer directly or
indirectly. 1t is quite natural, there
fore, that there should be considera-
ton of legislative matters which
might afford relief" This state
ment from Secretary Wallace indi-
Gates that he is helping to line up
with the Middle West where the
farmers interests are considered first
of all. 1t is suggested that the
geographical location of New Eng
land may have some effect upon the
contrawise views of Secretary Weeks
But Secretary Wallace goes farther
and he accepts the challenge of those
who are opposing specialization in
farm legislation, by saying: IF
those who have been charged with
promoting unwise class or group
legislation for the benefit of agri-
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1922-01-05

culture should desire 10 retort in
kind, they could find ready at hand
many examples of unquestionable
class legislation enacted in behalf of
relatively small groups"
What Secretary Wallace has said
is not different from what others
have been saying in and out of Con-
gress, but it shows that the agri-
cultural bloc is determined to either
construct every desired piece of leg
islatioa affecting agriculture, or
to exercise the power of vetoing in
Congress the acts constituting the
Republican program that do not
come with the scope Of it's convictions
There is a good deal Of talk about the
tariff law just now, and speculation
as to when it will become law. The
farm bloc has this particular piece
of legislation in it's fist, and the pos
sibilities are that before Spring the
country will have presented to it a
regular "farm- bloc tariff law"
COLOMBIA ACCEPTS $25, 600, 900
The treaty between the United
States and Colombia reimbursing
Colombia to the extent of $25,000,-
900 for territorial losses sustained
through the setting up of the repub-
lie of Panama, has recently been rat
flied by the government of Colombia,
after debate and political con-
test in that country that has been
raging since the treaty was favor
ably passed upon by the United
States Senate last April. With the
payments that are to be made from
the United States treasury the Col
ombian situation will finally be
wound up in a way that will pre-
serve for this country the good will
of the Central American countries.
There is a wonderful bit of his
tory in the seizure of the isthmian
region by the Colombian Department
of Panama and the setting up of an
independent government on Novem-
Der 8, 1903. Under the hair-trigger
diplomatic meth IS of President
Roosevelt the independence of the
new republican was recognized on the
next day, and on November Is a
treaty between the new republic and
the United States was signed. A
Panama Canal Commission was ap-
Ipointef the following February, and
in April, 1904, the purchase price OF
100000 was paid to the French
company for it's interests in. the
lcanal.
| The original negotiations with Col
iombit called for the payment OF
I$10,OO0,0O0 by the United States
but this was opposed in this country
on the ground that the canal deve-
lopment would be more beneficial to

My dear Downs
am in receipt of copy of the Christ
mas number of the Washburn Times and l
want to compliment you on the attractiveness
of your advertisement
I also note the statement made by you,
relative to the practicability of buying every
thing locally, that may be required by the
residents of your community.
This is an excellent idea, and if it was
practiced by a greater lumber of natives
of the average town, am sure would be very
much appreciated by the merchants, and
would result beneficially to all concerned.
| am going to suggest that you keep
up this propaganda.

Handicapping the School Children.

CCHOOL buildings are important. Fairgrounds
~ are important. Good teachers are important
But of these is absolutely essential to educa-
ton Great Americans have become learned in
many arts and sciences with the aid of none OF
these. If every school pudding in Washington
should burn down it still would be possible to give
District children an education. Ii Congress should
pass laws prohibiting school attendance to boys
and girls of the National Capital these still would
learn to read and write. The hedge schoomaster
in Ireland during the days OF religious persecution
functoned rather more efficiently, presume
than the average normal-school graduate who now
instructs the children OF Washington. Americans
who complain of difficulties in the path OF youths
seeking education turn with profit to the
life of Abraham Lincoln to the example OF hun
dreds Of others who mastered the rudments Of
learning almost without assistance.
But books another matter. Give boy a
book and he can study it in an attic or in cellar
Probably he can master the contents better ii there
difficulties in the way. But he must have
the volume or he is helpless.
Now we learn the District schools faced by
an almost inevitable shortage of textbooks. They
have history books written before the great war.
They have geography textbooks compiled when the
German and Austrian empires still covered most OF
Central Europe, when Turkey still held consider
able slice of the Balkans, when the set
on the garrisons of the Kaiser.
1t seems rather ncongruous that children
should study such textbooks in the Capital City OF
the United States where so much of that activity
was centered which resulted in changing maps and
histories The smallest crossroads schoolhouscs
have adjusted their textbooks suit the changed
condition Of the world-but District boys and girls
still study the old, thumb-marked volumes.
There is nothing peculiar about this condition.
The textbooks in more antiquated than
is the entire District school system. But the an
tiquity is little more glaringy evident in this par
ticular instance. 1t is little more likely to work
harm.
School textbooks are a peculiar ite'i upon
which to seize for pennysnatching economy-but
so shortsighted are the forces which control the
desnies of the District Of Columbia that this is
exactly what has been done. 1t is obvious in
dctment of the faulty system under which District
schools operated
