When Senator Chamberlain urges i a measure before congress that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and its prede- cessor be abrogated. as the proper method of settling the Panama canal free toll controversy, he is attempting . something worse than freak legisla- tion. The canal toll regulations have been the cause of many suggestions | being made to reach an adjustment, | and the urging of much legislation both for and against the remission of the tolis’on American shipping through the canal. but this suggestion would be an admirable way out of the situation, if nations were in the habit of juggling treaties about in any such manner. When this country entered into treaty relations with Great Britain | concerning the canal the existing doc- iment was the result. It immediatel; became the law for the governing of both countries in accordance with its provisions and both countries are bound to live up to its provisions, if national honor amounts to anvthing and peaceful conditions are to be main- | tained and urged. This country cam- not end such a treaty without the consent of Great Britain. Tt is a dif- ferent treaty than that was with Rus- sia_tn which provision was made for ending 1t. and which .was followed when the desired time came. What the ountry must do is to live up to the terms of the treaty, but If there Is a misunderstanding concerning any of them there should be an oretation of them through arbitration. The coun- is not going to be helped by mak- nz things a great deal worse which would surely follow the Oregon sena- tor's plan COMPROMISE IN BELGIUM. Ten days have been sufficient to demonstrate the sincerity of the strik- ers in thefr peaceful fight for a better- ment of the suffra zium, and the announcement by the Zovernment, of a willingness to effect a compromise marks success a rolitical strike of great national im- poriance. M e to the man- ner in which planned and carried out, while the justice of he demands could hardly of rec- fon though it was the delay In carrying out the promises made to ge conditions in grant relief which promoted the con- sf. Belgium has long been In an un- easy state over the laws concerning | suffrage. When education and wealth | are used against the workingman as qualifications for securing additional | votes at election, conditions are not on a basis of equality. It is not the first time that the Belgians have made demands for a change, or in fact the first time that a national political strike has been called. hut it promises important changes in Belgium. Rus- sia and Sweden know the meaning of such great demonstrations As indicated by the government's action, the strikers will nat obtain all they sought. There is to- be a com- promise but this means a betterment of conditions at least. The demonstra- tion, however, and the ground gained are most favorable to the ultimate se- curing of manhood suffrage. Tt indi- cates the beginning of an adjustment which is bound to come. MAKING LIGHT OF MISDEEDS. When punishment is intended not only as a deterrent from future en- gagement in practices which are in violation of the law. but also as an example for the infliencing of others to refrain from similar lawbreaking. there can be little sympathy with the mevement for the release from the penitentiary of Julian Hawthorne and Dr. W use of the mal They have been at Atlanta less than a month, but had hoped to escape serving out their sen- tence after being there one dav under the provision which allows them to be parolea after serving & third of their sentence. The court dealt kindly with them when it dated back the time from | which the sentence should be effective but the department of justice holds that they must serve at least three months of the year's sentence, befor being entitled (o parole. Leniency in such cases mighl bLe Justified from the standpoint that they are men who will doubtiess profit by the lesson which has been taught them, but the effect which it would have upon others, especially those who have none too great respect for the law and Jus- tice as administered, must be (aken into consideration. They are men who by their education and position should have known better, even to such an extent that it should have kept them from participating in their get rich quick scheme. If the misdeeds of such men are to be made light of what can be expected from those in less favor- aple positien in 1if J. Morton convicted of the mis- | COMMERCIALIZED WAR SCARES. ‘There is nothing surprising about the fact that Germany and France are much disturbed over the alleged rev- elations of the existence of a com- mercialized war scare between the na- tions for“the purpose of making bus- iness for the great Krupp gun factory. Such efforts to keep nations in a ner- vous state and making constant pro- visions for resisting any fancied in- roads of the other is bound to make business better for the makers of war material, but it operates to the detri- ment of the nations. Not only does it agitate against peaceful conditions but it means a constant and a huge drain upon the resources of the eoun- try and a taxation of the people to an enormous extent which ought to be avoided, and which, if the revelations are true can be. It was but recently th3t it was de- clared that the tAx upon the Krupp business to meet the demands for a quarter of a billion for increasing the army would amount to twenty millions what a willing contribution that but would be if in return increased bus- iness to many times that amount re- sulted. war talk a matter of business, and if true gives a plausible excuse for the continual keeping to the sentiment in behalf of trouble. The desire for money leads to strange acts but of all. the preaching of war and encouraging such sentiment for profit is the worst and should be promptly discouraged. LESSON TO BRAZIL. Tt is but natural to suppose that Brazil would be pleased with the re- sult of the coffe valorization suits since his government disposed of them in a manner which ought fo have no other result. It has demonstrated. however. | the attitude of this country concerning such business dealings and should | have an important effect upon the cof- | fee business in the future, Brazil t realize the impartance of tha nited States as a customer in the | taking of tropical products in genmeral | as well as the big trade which is car- ried on in coffee alone.

It is therefore a valuable trade which that South American country has built up here and one which should be properly cultivated instead | of injured. The suits were dropped be- | cause of an agreement entered into | between this sovernment and the cof- | fee men, whereby the large quantity stored here for the controlling of the | prices, was sold.
