Panama has found that thiz country is firm in the position that #t has taken amd that s exaxied to comply therewith. Nevertheless it seeks to avold it and having found that it canmot budge this country it has made the interesting appeal that it be allowed to effect a settlement with Costa Rica. To that this country has made the only reply that could be expected and that is to the effect that it could try. It has no personal interest in the matter exeept to see justice done and in gving its con- sent to the plan of Panama to approach Costa Rica for an amicable adjustment it will be happy if that proves to be the means to an end. It is to be fully understood by Pan- ama, however, that this country does mot In any way change its stand, that it does not deviate from its position that the White award must be carried out unless it is possible for the nations to get to- gether and agree upon a fixed boundary. What Panama plans is what should have been done in the first place. In- stead of going about the boundary differ- ence with a clash of arms or seizure of property there should have been an un- Gerstanding reached. Panama would have stood In & far better light today had it followed such a course or had it made its present proposal at the time when the United States decided it was necessary to interpose its objectlon to a war between the two countrles. And yet it is to be Temembered that similar efforts have been made in the pais to do just what Panama now seeks to accomplish The boundary line has been under consideration more than once. The White award was an interpretation of a previous decision. Whether Panama would be willing to enter into any agree- ment where it was obliged to yield at all is a question which will be determined by the outcome of the present effort. The attitude of the United States may have some influence in this instance. TAEING THE SANE VIEW.

Whatever allowance must be made for the fact that a certain portion of the wreckage must be attributed to the war and its demands there is no get- ting away from other outstanding facts which fully warrant the presentation of the situation in which the shipping board affairs are found in its true light. There is mo use trying to dodge it. It would ve been weil it others had taken such a view a long time ago. It isn't to be supposed that all who have been conmected with the adminis- tration of the shipping board's affairs h contributed te the wreck that rman Lasker refers to. He doesn’t make that charge but his purpese in such a reference is to make it clearly understood why some of the radical moves that must be made are necessi- ated. There is reason for getting that ernment enterprise onto 2 sound basis as rapidly as possible. It Will not be an easy job to do so but it is useless to try 1o delude ourselves any longer about tact§ which have got to be faced. The cessary radical steps are shipping board gets onto basis and progresses towards prise taken and th & sound private hands the quicker will a bad situation be ended. A good start should hasten desired resuits. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Make the most of these hot days.| There's no tell- ing when the leebergs Wwill Be turned on.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY CELEBRATING THE WASHINGTON CENTENARY. The Washington centenary, celebrated throughout the’ United States on Feb. 23, 1832, was a signal honor to the eminent Father of His Country, and was the most elaborate celebration of its kind ever held in this country. As Philadelphia was the Cradle of Liberty, naturaily this city gave full vent to its enthusiasm. ~There was a procession close to four miles in length, which took as many hours to pass the reviewing stand. It was estimated that there were more than 20,000 people in the procession and more than 100,000 People on the streets as spectators. The Cincinnati society and Revolution- ary officers had the position. of honor, while the civic section was most elab- orate. During the procession the hatters made a hat out and out on the street, which was intended to be presented to General Lafayette, and one for Charles Carroll of Carrollfon. The mariners pre- sented one of the most interesting objects in the procession, in the shape of a full- rigged ship called the Washington. The Washington cast anchor whenever the procession halted, and hove anchor when it started. There was also =2 -notable military and naval display. In Boston, according to the newspapers of that time, the whole population devot- ed itself to the occasion, with business everywhere suspended. Boston had two processions. One of them, starting at 12 o'clock, consisted of the governor, several companies of lizht infantry, various civic organizations, including the president and other officers of Harvard university, and the representatives of learned and hu- mane societies. This aggregation made a detour of the city, winding up at the 0Old South meeting house, where the for- mal religious services took place. In this parade were also the Independent Boston Fusileers, who performed secret duty on the occasion of the visit of Washington to that city in 1783. Another proeession was more civic in its aspect. and ended with a big dinner at which several hun- dred persons partook. At the national capital the celebration was more marked than at any inaugura- tion up to that time. The National In- telligencer of Feb. 21 announced that, to enable its emploves to celebrate the cen- tenary “of the birth of the nation’s most distinguished son, this office will be closed tomorrow, and no paner will be issued therefrom the following day.” There was a lapse of one day in which the Washington public was without the news of the world, but their minds were stocked up for the interval by the print- ing in advance of the Washington Fare- well Address, then generally alluded to as the “valedictory” with an editorial ex- plaining that. while the people generally were perfectly familiar with it, there might be some newcomers or young per- sons mot so well acquainted with it as they should be. One hundred guns at sunrise on Feb. opened the Washington celebration. Divine services were held in the capitol at 11 o'elock and, pursuant to the order of congress, one of its chaplains deliver- ing “an appropriate and eloquent ser- mon.” This was followed by a dinner at Barnard's hetel, at which Daniel Web- ster, the presiding officer, spoke for more, than an hour, an address of such mo- ment as to be printed in full in an issue of the Intelligencer a week later. Twe publle balls were given in the evening and to them foreign ministers and other eminent men of the capital were invited. At Baltimore a great civic and military procession was formed immediately after the reading of the address. Charles Car- roll of Carroliton, the surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, was stationed at the door of the second story of his dwelling, surrounded by his family, and there the citizens passed him with uncovered heads, amid stralns of musie and the waving of banners. The oor- poration of the city also gave a dinner. At Amnapolis and at Alexandria and other towns Feb. 22 proved one of the great holidays of the first half of the century. At the time a movement was on foot to bring the remains of Washington to be buried at the capital, but this was objected to by John A. Washington, the owner of the Mt. Vernon estate. There was muech heated comment in the public prints of that time as to whether Wash- ington belonged to his own state or to the nation, a controversy in which several legislatures as well as congress partici- pated. At all évents, the remains were not_disturbed. (Temorrow: Pennsylvania Nearly Be- came Capital State.)

Little Anne was visiting grandpa {down in the country. Now the chink bugs were just beginning to attack his crops and provide a theme for daily com~ versation. Little Anne immediately ask- ed what they were and was told by her grandfather of the devastation they wrought by sucking the juice from the young corn and hence killing it. She was much impressed and when she went home began to tell her mother about it. But she could mot find the right word to name the bugs. Then her own experience at the lakes last, summer helped her out. “Mother,” she explain- ed, “what is wrong out on grandpa's farm is that he has corn mosquitoes sucking his crops.” Inguisitive Lillian.
