Qn ‘Yoae, ne Mon VOLUME 51...... + THE PANAMA INQUIRY. ONGRFSSMAN RAINEY'S resolutions calling for an official inquiry into the circumstances attending the separation of Pa the Republic of Colombia ought not to be treated by Congress nor regarded by the public ae a partisan issue. The subject involves questions of international importance—of diplomacy in the highest and brond- est eense, Every phase of the investigation should be conducted with a epirit and in @ manner thet will satisfy both the intelligence and the conscience of mankind. The Republic of Oolombia asked that we agree to submit to arti- tration her claims against us; but the Roosevelt administration re- fused. Why? | The Government of the United States has repeatedly end fn | the most solemn manner declared in favor of the arbitration of inter- national disputes. It has submitted its own claims against powerful nations to such judgment not once or twice only, but many times. | We should, therefore, continue to uphold that standard by both | precept and practice. To eurrender it would be a sign of weakness. To maintain it ia to advance not only the peace of the world bt the glory of the republic. na from me STEAMRADIATOR SHare a0 ne FOR HUMAN SAPETY. RRANGEMENTS are now being made at this port for enforcing the law requiring a wireless telegraph equipment upon every ship clearing from United States ports carrying fifty or more passen- | gers and plying between ports more than two hun- dred miles apart. It is an illustration of one of the worst defects of commercial enterprise that governmental command and supervision should be necessary to assure the adoption by steamship companies of such eafeguarde. It would seem that a mere instinct of eelf- interest, or at least a reasonable care for their own property, would have prompted to the equipment, and that wireless telegraphy would have been taken up at sea with as much of individual energy as the telephone on land. But it was ever so. It required the power of the Government to make railroad companies adopt eafety coupling appliances; to make factories put in good machinery; to make housebuilders uso fire-escapes. Provision for human safety is evidently the one thing that commerce never thinks about. ear Crenaee UNIVERSITY POLITICIANS. | OME one hundred and twenty college men, repre- | senting forty-three universities, met at the Univer-| sity Club on Thursday as delegates of a league organized to develop a sense of civic responsibility | enn in the undergraduate world.
