A good time 1b anticipated. election of the Conservative candidate, Kieardo Arias, that only an American demand for fair elections could nccure tho rights of the Liberals at tho polls, i Last winter President Amador took i vacation trip to Ktiropo and the States. Ueior5 ho left he gavy out a statement in which ho said that he was going to bo neutral in tho coming campaign. His natural course would havo been to Biip-port Biip-port Obaldia. But when lie came back to tho isthmus ho began secret' to give aid and eni'.oiiragcment to Arias. Grad-nallj' Grad-nallj' tho Liberals learned of his political po-litical treachery and went to thu officials offi-cials of the United States on the isthmus isth-mus witli a protest. Tho matter was I looked into and tho representations of j the Liberals wero found to bo correct. Intimidation, treachery and every sort, j of political trick possible to prevent the : registration of voters of the opposition had been resorted to. Tho Conscrva- i tivos were proving themselves poli- i ticians at whoso feet the worst cor- I ruptionists of the United States might sit and loam. At this juncture J. C. S. Blackburn, governor or the canal zone, went to the administration loaders headed by President Presi-dent Amador, and told them that every voter must, have an opportunity to register, reg-ister, to vote, and to have his vote counted. Ho told them that tho United States was treat' bound to all tho nations na-tions of tho world to kocp tho isthmian transit open, and that the transit could not be kept open unless peaco bo maintained. main-tained. This, in turn, ho told them, could not be had unless thoro woro fair elections. The administration leaders replied that even if many Liberals had been denied de-nied the privilege of registration thoro was no remedy for it after the fact. They declared that, the registration period pe-riod had closed by law and that nothing noth-ing could not be done to reopen the books. To this Governor Blackburn answered that if thero was a bad law on the statute books of the republic it was cither their fault or their misfortune. misfor-tune. He told them plainly that the United States would insist on a fair election, nnd that it was certainly up to them to find some means of seeing that there was a fair election. Negotiations Nego-tiations were on for several weeks, and finally President Amador yielded on a few immaterial points. Patience ceased to bo a virtue with Governor Blackburn, and he told the Conservative leaders that there could bo no monkev business in this matter, that the United States was only asking that a fair electiou be held and that there would be no recession re-cession from that demand. u Tie said a dishonest election meant a revolution, and that a revolution meant tho disorganization of the cnnal force, and probably tho destruction of millions of dollars' worth of American property, to say nothing of tho delay in completing complet-ing the canal. "With ynllow fever raging in Colon and the bubonic plague running riot in Pannmn.'Mio told them, "our force would crouch in the interior and wait until the srorm blow over. But with shooting going on in Panama, with tho opportunities for license and loot that would follow, there would be no keeping them out of it. Tho forco would be completely disorganized and irreparable harm would be done to the whole canal project. " Governor Blackburn addod that ho could not speak with authority ns to what would happen, but that he bo-lieved bo-lieved thero would be several battleships battle-ships in the harbors of the Isthmus about that time, and that the marines stationed at Camp Elliot would bo made ready to protect the American interests against any outbreak. Under thoso somewhat strenuous representations tho Panamanians agreed that tho Americans Ameri-cans could see that tho elections were fairly conducted. American agents wero sent, to the various voting places throughout the Isthmus to inspect conditions con-ditions and to roport to tho canal zone government. Steps were taken by tho Panamanian administration to insure fair elections, so far as the opportunity to vote is concerned. Thero are othor elements than that in ihe free expression of tho people's will. For instance the province of Colon had for its governor Porfirio Melcndez. Ho issued a statement to the officials under him in which he said that overv voter in the provinco should be afforded the opportunity to registor his individual will in the coming olectipn, and that whilo he favored the eleciion of Obaldia, Obal-dia, tho Liberal candidate, he wanted a fair election. As soon as the administration adminis-tration got hold of this statement, off went the official head of Governor Mclondez. President Amador sent for Melendez Grst and told him that ho must sacrifice all personal considerations, considera-tions, and that he must support Arias. When Melendez refused to recant, Amador Ama-dor told him he would give him a three months' vacation. This Melendez. also turnod down. It was then that his office of-fice was taken from him and given to a supporter of Arias. The same thing happened to the governors of the provinces of Chiriqui and Coclo. Tn our own country wo have abundant abun-dant opportunity- to understand and appreciate ap-preciate tho advantage of the parly in power, in a legitimate fashion. But in Panama the advtiutage is a hundred times greater. Tho total revenues of tho government aro about $2,500,00. The ropublic, thanks to the United States for the ten million dollars paid for Panama's interests in the canal, is out of debt. Tho Unitod States has put up the money for the public improvements that have been made in Panama nnd Colon, therefore, tho Panamanian administration ad-ministration can spend nearly the whole of the governmental receipts on offices for its friends. to M Taking them by and large, the Panamanians Pana-manians are rather a sorry lot. They aro revolutionists by habit, and are industrious in-dustrious in no other pursuit. Their political leaders look to tho force of arms as the sustaining principle of parties par-ties and governments. The respect for law and legal institutions which causes Americans to peacefully submit to political po-litical defeats is incomprehensible to tliein. The only arguments Governor Blackburn coulcT advance in favor of fair elections which had any forco upon tho administration leaders was the implied im-plied threat that battleships and marines ma-rines would back up the American position. posi-tion. That was argument they could appreciate. ap-preciate. The Panamanian is born with a natural na-tural hankering for a political job. With all tho great opportunities for employment em-ployment afforded by the canal project, thoro aro only a few dozen natives on tho pay-roll of the. canal force, and they have nice easy jobB. The proud position posi-tion of a police patrolman appeals to tho Panamanian patriot's soul. Ho will take it even with the restriction that ho must not arrest an American except in unusual cases. But whou it comes to real work he is not an apphcaut for a job. Tho policy of the American government govern-ment in the canal zone is to ,bo very liberal with tho Panama government and tho Panamanians. But t.hure is a distinct Hue of demarcation between liberality lib-erality and the concession of unwarranted unwar-ranted favors. While every reasonable request is granted, the American government gov-ernment has given the Panamanians fo understand that; it will not couutouanco anything which will in tho slightest do- ?roo intorfcro with tho work of digging ho canal. In tho election matter, the United States has demonstrated to tho people of Panama that it will not permit per-mit isthmian politics to dolav oi endanger en-danger tho isthmian canal.
