Another national question has been settled.. 'I'he United States, has more super copscientious people who always fear that the government Is wrong in -its dealings with other countries, than any otrfer nation. I is enough for them to see that our diplomacy has gained an advantage to be cocksure that it has been by underhanded methods. These people came out in force the moment the president recognized the republic of Panama and declared that there should be no fighting on the isthmus*. Now they will hare: to go Into retirement again. Th president has disposed of their doubts. 'the presidential message in' defense of ?the course of this government in thoj Panama affair clears -up the situa tion. After this the ..most sensitive Americans will have no cause to fear that the nation's honor has been sul lied in Panama The president ably shows that we have played in a dig-' nifled manner the part of a great na tiofc. The outcome is hard oh Oolbmbia, bu i who will say that her fate is not a jjist one? She undertook to rob and blafckma.il and delay. the construction of the isthmian canal, but" circum stances and the wisdom of the United States have foiled'her. The president '^ohcFusivefy .shows th^t this government had no part in thi Panama revolution, arid that it knf nothing mOre'Jtbout the proba bility of" revolution' tttari the country at #arge. Indeed, it is open to criti cisjjfn for not knowing morei Bi chances were taken thr ignorance on th# lives and property of the Ameri cans on the isthmus.

Trip recognition of the new republic Is Admitted to have been sudden, but th situation was such that it was dejrnanded. Jfts to the question of whether, the president has complied with the Sp$oner act, the message amply deinonstrates that he has. Within a "reasonable time he has negotiated a treaty for a.canal right of way across th'4 isthmus. has done his part, .will the senate do its part ffVe think it will.

However, this negative asr sertioh as to their condition is worth something, for it permits them to enter the United States not as foreigners, but as Americans. The decision, of. the. sur preme court in the Gonzales case will tend to erase someof the distinctions that separate the Porto Eicana from the real Americans.

Out of the Emerald Isle and into the new world has come a voice for the re claiming of the stage, for its rescue from those who go purely "for eupeptic rea sons, to rest after their dinner, and not in the least to experience any emotion or to be Coerced into any intellectual ac tivity." -The/voice is ihat of WiHiam B.

According to the same writer, Mr. Yeats "cannot get out of his head that "this age of criticism is about to pass and an age of imagination, of moods, of reve lation about to come in its place." however put, so far as the theater as such as concerned, they, think he is a decadent ^in literature. While admitting that he pos sesses undoubted talent as a poet, they believe that his later work falls short of 3iis earlier work. A writer in The Even sing Post, Ne York, says: .The long tradition of defeat that overshadows nis. country has turned hiui, together with most pi the other singers, of a new Ireland, away from the cruel realities of their world and from the. simple uasslons that control the impulsive energies of men into this Celtic twilight of de feated dreams. In the silence of this retreat from the world, in the hush that falls after the thunder and tumult of the passing war gods, one might look to hear the still small voice of that genuine mysticism which, alone of allL. poetic moods, has scarcely come to utterance ln English poetry.'* Something' of this higher:-mysticism'was, perhaps, heard In Mr. Yeats'' earlier n,Qems, But no one can-read his more recent pro4nc^onp without observing what may be called a defalcation of the mind. In stead of the true voice of the spirit, we hear the Chattering of old-vreomen: -Wiose memory is doubled by vague and foolish superstitions we jfercelve a ..ppe^fl&^ujidouhted., powers, lending ^L^^.tfai^i^v.W^tery^nipngexin,g .'of.' a 'circle boy.wff & goes.aow wandering beggars aud workhouse pauper as if wallop ]fehe ation's,c^ef e^utive,and .they were apocalyptic in origin we. mm a man nalnn's .-nlMcf PVPPlitlsTAi and thov hiu.oV Jr^^^^^t^Vofe^^*.!""^ to call him a'fihahciar-i^weefsgoin^to f^VtoafTasubS^B^ong^nS^^ Velght of the'^wOrld from ita shoulder^*" and vce et fromhlm idle ghost stories and babbling repe titions of old wives' tales.
