Senator Borah has begun a fight to have the Colombian and Nlcara guan treaties considered In open ses sion. The controversy over senatorial or the Colombian treaty is m.yt, becoming almost as hot as was the row over the repeal of the Panama free tolls act. And ttlis not altogether because the senate is "hysterical" from over work and hot weather, as the New York World suggested the other day. There is plenty of room for honest difference: of' opinion about the matter: and when the present muddle of .charges, counter-charges and misinformation clears a little the country will probably agree that Jus 'ttco lies about half way between the two extremes as usual. Tci an impartial observer it looks as if the administration at Washing ton, in a laudable effort to stand up perfectly straight in our internation al relations, is In danger of falling over lmi kw anls. Wo might behave with fairness and decency toward Colombia without going so far as President Wilson and Secretary Bry iin nsk us to in the treaty negotiated by them and already approved by the Colombian senate. The extreme courtesy to our sister republic which has written Into the treaty an "apology" for this nation's action in aiding and abetting the Panama revolution Is not a new thing. The present administration borrowed It from the Dubois memo randum, a rough draft of a treaty with Colombia prepared under the Taft administration. The expression ia merely strengthened a little and In dorsed officially. Our own conduct In the case, how ever, seems to have been at least as honorable as that of Colomblas. Per haps Colonel Roosevelt In his heated defense of his own record over-emphasises our virtuous behavior at the time Panama was "takrn;" but care ful examination of the records shows that Colombia, through its usurping president, after agreeing to accept ten million dollars for the exclusive right of this country to build the canal, tried to hold us up for mnre money; that under the circumstances V whatever money was paid would probably have gone to corrupt offi cial aa "boodle" and that the loxs of this sum, and its payment to the new republic of Panama, was a sort of natural retribution. On the other hand, the Panama revolution was planned and financed In New York, and was successful be cause of the alacrity with which our government took advantage of the coup and gave the rebels military protection. Moreover, the republic, of Panama la a farce, nnd sooner or later we shall doubtless have to as sums full control of lis territory. If ,we are rein to pay Colombia miij wo iniKiii muiiiy nr just demand with considerably less than $38,000,000. And If there la any apo. oglxlng to be done, let Colombia do her share of It DROWTtED BY FEAR. Thla la the season of the year when wa hear of so many rases of rownlng of thou pho have gone In swimming. Floating on water la such a simple matter, when one knows how, that It la strange anyone, whether he be a swimmer or not, should drown In any. thing Ilk still or mildly flowing water. In normal circumstance It Is really harder to sink than It Is to float Near ly every cas of drowning la the result f panic. Even deaths that result front oramp generally would not hap. pen were It not for fear. It la poaathl 'for the body to float without the use 4 a ana or lee; It la vn posslb',, In fact natural, to float without the aid of any limb. All that la necessary to know about keeping; at the surface la to have Just the mouth and noee above water. Let the rest of the body be below the sur face. The mistake that frightened people make Is literally In trying to "keep their heads above water." Most of us have known of cases where small boys who have never been In deep water, have been thrown into places over their heads and would swim instinctively. They swim because they know there are swimmers on the bank who could rescue them if neces sary. There is no mystery about swimming, itself. It is a matter of working the arms back and forth to propel the body. DIPLOMATISTS ANI) TRUTH. George Fred Williams has resigned as minister to Greece. There was nothing else for him to do, particular ly as ho says that he cannot keep si lent on the situation in Albania, by which he shows that he was never In tended for diplomatic work. A diplo matist should always be able to re main Bllent, and what is more, should know when to be silent. Mr. Williams was anything but dip lomatic in his statements of Albanian conditions. According to reports he found the country virtually In a state of anarchy, with about six different governments, neither of which w-as doing much in the way of governing. The powers, whoso creation Albania is, were naturally ruffled by the statement. Mr. Williams might naturally have Justified the remarks accredited to him by the contention that they were true; but that would be all the more reason why he should have remained silent on the matter. Diplomatists should carefully avoid the truth. The board of trade will have no time to rest on Its oars. Camp Grove is here and the formal opening has taken place, but the thing to do is to make every effort to make the camp here permanent. Last year this camp was located at Gettysburg. It might be well to ascertain whether there are other reasons than Asheville climate and other peculiar Asheville advantages why the camp is not now at Gettysburg. All of the various "days," Carmen, Oklahoma, a little town of ahont 1000 people, has Inaugurated one of the most commendable. It Is "Take-lt-Back-i'ay" one day In the year in which the citizens of the town return the things they have burrowed during the year from their neighbors. r WALT MASON IT. THE MOKMNG.

WALT MASON. Copyright. 1914, by the Adams News paper service. ft.. PRESS COMMENT. Hi ' HUH HttttKRtOtltttX! Thinking of Ways and Means, It is apparent that the people of North ('urollna are determined to pro claim their Independence from the po litical boss, now that they have htm definitely placed. What vry many of them are thinking about Just now Is ways and means to this much desired end. Why not have the various counties pass resolutions favoring the right kind of primary law? Democrats might take such action In democratic counties and republicans should take such action In counties controlled by that party. Obviously, republicans hav nothing mor to gain by following h machine leadership In the demo cratic party. If their leaders are fav ored with a fair decree of human In telligence they ought to have a realis ing sense of this fact by this time. Where counties have already held their conventions the executive com mittens could act. The progressives, aa a matter of course, will favor a primary law. Such preliminary measures ought not to be necessary; but the fart re mains that they are. The people were disappointed at the work of the last tate convention, but while disappoint ed, they hU no right to a fclin of surprise. This paper hsd warned limn of what they might expect. The things that happened are just what will al ways happen when the people let things drift. Home members of the platform committee war from dls- GONS0IEN0E and care enter Into every pair, of glasses we make for you. We are at all times conscious of the responsibilities placed on us when you come to us for . glasses and that Is why we are so careful In our examinations and in making and fitting your glasses. CHARLES H. HONESS. OPTOMETRIST and OPTICIAN 51 Patton Ave. Opp. Post office tricts where the people had spoken out on the subject of the primary, but the midnight caucus and the midnight Conference did their work, The people had taken action by day, but were be trayed, as per custom, at night. We are therefore persuaded that it would not be amiss if members of all parties, in their county conventions, would again take action favoring a thorough and complete primary law. The effect upon the new candidates would be salutary. There are so many ways of betraying the people. The lobbyist, however insidious with his near champagne, is less to be feared than some other things. It Is. so easy, at times, to smother reform legislation in local bills. The boss and the minor bosses are looking upon that proposed constitutional amendment, restricting local, private and special legislation, with mingled dread and distrust. These bills, while little, make fine buf fers, as the machine agents have more than once been frank enough to ad mit. Many a vote will be cast very quetly against that amendment. And then there is always the patron age to consider. Mayhap a legislator has a brother who aspires to be post master, or revenue agent, in his home town. If the legislator has the hardi hood to vote his honest convictions, with the eye of the boss fixed upon him, he knows that brother will never get the coveted recognition. The hon est legislator knows that he has got to he with tho organization, right or wrong. He knows that, in the laflt analysis. It Is tho voice of the boss that has been potent in this tate. He has no protection. The state's senators are so preoccupied with matters of nearer consequence In Japan or Great Britain, or Mexico, that they are con strained to hold themselves aloof while the people who honored them are be ing sold and traded out of their rights, tho purchase price of a dead reform bill being, not infrequently, a federal I ,1ob which the senators have at their j disposal. Heine so busy the senators must leave the state to the tender mercies of the boss. They have only a moment to devote to the state. That moment Is given over to nsseverations of approval of the reforms which the boss can always be depended upon to kill off by virtue of the senatorial pat ronage. We repeat: eternal vigilance Is the thing. A dozen trading and trafficking legislators can do an appalling amount of mischief, especially if some of them get on important committees. The counties should therefore adopt some means of ascertaining the views and Intentions of their legislative candi dates. Greensboro News. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS - - .Morgan V. II. Smith to J. H.
