COLOMBIA’S SIDE OF THE PAN
AMA CANAL QUESTION.
Haul Pet** of Colombia gives tn the
North A me r Iran Itevlrw an Interest-
ing, crisp ami passionate statement
of the Colomhlan view of the Panama
canal treaty episode. The people of
thjf PaelAo rouKt nre mainly Interested
In ll to the extent of n dealre that the
tieuty Khali fall of ratlllratlon. that
the Washington government may la1
five in Bive Us attention to negotiating
a uh11> canal treaty with NlniriiK»a,
which offers uh the more fmell/.e and
all around dealrnhle route, according
to Pacific coast opinion.
Bui Perez's defense of the reticence
of his country Ik worthy of conaldera
tIon, since to do Justice In judgement
In it h kIiIck imtKt lie heard, and liectiuse
the Colomhlan government has come
In for no little harsh crlllclBm on ac-
i mini of Its buck Inn and ll 111 n k In tills
matter. Ah l’erex putH It, the reasons
for delay are: Find, that neither the
Colombian executive nor an ordinary
rnnnroHH can coualltutlonally ratify a
treaty that involves a cession of terri-
tory to a foreign power. We can very
well understand how In this etmnlry
a proposition lo cede a part of our
soil, even for a rlBht of way, to a for-
eign power would lie long considered
and very Jealously entered upon, If
at all.
Second, says Perez, the canal will
not lie so much a benefit to Colombia
as the outside world assumes. Third
ly. Colombians believe there is another
solution of the problem, fair, legal and
that ought to la- satisfactory to both
republics. Besides, he does not Is-
lieve that the 'representative, progres-
sive. enlightened liberal party of Co-
lombia" will accept the Herrun Hay
treaty. He points oat that the con-
cession for the canal expressly stlpu
lates that It shall never lie transferred
to any foreign nation. He, therefore,
challenges any title of the United
States to the canal, acquired fromethe
French company.
It will be recalled that the Colombi-
an consul general at lxinrlon has dt
dared that ratification would lead to
revolution, as the proposed treaty i«
obnoxious to the best unri most Intel-
ligent elements in Colombia. Mr. Pe-
rez points out that the CompagtiT* I'm
veraelle of France does business under
the Colombian laws, the same as any
other "Juridical person" under the
forteenth article of the constitution,
which gives “Judical persons” no
greater rights than are accorded to
Colombian citizens. He asks, and rer
talnly with a great deal of pertinency,
if the United States, as successor to
the Campagnl* Universelle, Is willing
to be considered only a "juridical per.
son" In Colombia, with no more right,
provllege or power than la enjoyed by
the humblest citizen of Colombia?
Certainly snob ll not the spirit of tin-
treaty.
Again he asks, how in conscience the
United States can take a concession
They ure still raising hades and
bud men In old Kentucky.
Did anybody ever see a pretty girl
out buggy riding with a one armed
man?
Now that this Russian question In
Manchuria is settled satisfactorily for
the time being, the so-called powers
WlU.now turn their attention to prod-
ding the Turk.
Another religious tramp has fas-
tened himself on Kl Puao. If this
were a day of miracles God would
send lightning from heaven to strike
these blasphemers dead.
A New York woman whose husband
belongs to thirty six secret orders and
clubs, Is slicing for u divorce. She
wunts to marry u man who can spend
an evening or two at home during
the year.
The man Knapp, who murdered nine
women, was only hanged once. It was
a pity he hadn’t the proverbial nine
lives of the cat, for only one hanging
Is an utterly Inadequate punishment
for his crimes.
Out here the order of things Is re-
versed; too much water has made Kl
Paso buggy. At night the electric
lights attract millions of grasshoppers
and other kinds of hugs from the lakes
of water Iti the suburbs of the city.
The king and queen of England are
In Ireland swapping bonqets with their
Irish suhlects. Irishmen are courte-
ous, hospitable hosts and can not be
offensive to their guests, latter they'll
toll the king what they think of him.
A ready-witted bartender in 8t. Paul
proved more than a match for Sister
Carrie Nation. She dashed Into a sa-
loon lu that city and began Iter usual
tirade. The bartender quietly reached
for a seller siphon, pressed the button
and Carrie had to swlnt out.
As there is not even a remote possi-
bility of the democrats nominating
either Bryan or Cleveland for presi-
dent. those two gentlemen might be
of some service to the country If they
would stop their personal quarrel and
work for harmony tn the democratic
ranks.
The Russians also seem to under-
stand and appreciate the word, "man-
4tia.” They have now set September
as the dale for the evacuation of Man-
churia. but It Is even betting that be-
A'een now and then there will be some
other good reason—to Russia—to war-
rant another postponement.
A heart-to-heart correspondence be-
tween a Minneapolis gtrl and a yuung
man In another state was terminated
very suddenly last week. The young
man had Inscribed a tender epistle to
his beloved and In reply received a
short notice which read like this: ”f
have been married two years, and I
inclose a photo of my baby. My hus-
band and I have enjoyed your letters
very much, but 1 guess you'd better
stop writing now. as 1 have to spend
all my time minding the baby." The
vide* there shall be no transfer to any
foreign power? As to ratification, he
holds that because cession la a const!
tutional function In Colombia, only a
constitutional convention can cede
away Colombian territory. As to the
isthmus Itself, .Colombia holds It to
be bone of her bone and flesh of her
flesh, a most valuable territory, a part
of the republic, of high value for all
time, a patrimony to all future gener-
ations of Colombians. Even If the
jJ'nlfed States offered 100,000,000 in '
♦tend of 810.000,000, Colombians of en
i llghtenmmt and love of country would
refuse, says this defender of his re
public, whose weakness, misfortunes;
and unstable character he deplores.
As the Isthmus Is a bridge over
which great commerce passes. Involv-
ing local patronage that is of exceed
Ing value, a canal that would break
up all that would Is- a positive detri-
ment to Colombia, according to Mr
Fere*. In this Isthmus, he frankly
says, the republic "holds Its trump
card," and does not wish to part with
it for a few millions of dollars. Hclz
ure of the Isthmus by a world power
would be more agreeable, as In such
a case "Colombian rights would hold
good and the day might come when
they would be revindicated." But. he
adds, what intelligent Colombians will
agree to Is a partnership with the
United States In the canal, deriving a
fixed Income from It that will not ben-
efit one political party or a few offi-
cials, but all the people for genera-
tions to come.
Mr. Perez certainly makes a good.
Indeed, a strong argument. Of course,
Hie suggestion of partnership Is ridic-
ulous from the American viewpoint,
but that the reasons advanced by the
Columbian patriot may suffice to de-
feat the Panama route for an inter-
oceanic canal constructed under our
auspices Is probably the sincere wish
of the great majority of the people of
this state, who prefer the more north-
ern route, through a more paclflc
state, and one Infinitely preferable for
sanitary and other reasons.

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate a Per-
aon'a Temperament.
Many people believe that blonde or
light hair denote* affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without
hair Is not devoid of character; far
from It. The disposition of the av-
erage bald headed man Is to show
such solicitude for the welfare of oth-
ers that he neglects himself. A germ
causes baldness. Profesjor Sabou-
laud of Paris, France, innoeeulated a
rabbit with dandruff germs, causing It
to become totally bald In five weeks'
time. To rid the scalp of these dan-
gerous germs It Is necessary to apply
