Panama was one of vthe political divisions of the government of Ci lomhia beloro her declaration of in dependence last month. She was one sovereign state In a union of Colom bian states, recognizing the supre macy of the central government, and claiming protection Irom the govern ment tram external foes and Inter nal Insurrection. She occupied the iamu relation to Colombia that South Carolina occupied toward the gov ernment or the' United States 40 yeais Hs.i. She paid tribute to the general Av eminent, sent delegates to the con gress of the Colombian states and was one territorial and governmental division or the Colombian Republic. Finding it to ho to her advantage and In harmony with the public eonti iniMit of her people to become an in dependent government, she severed the bonds existing between herself ami the central government, and feeccdril from the Colombian union of states or provinces. Colombia protested In vain. It was an Irreparablo loss to that govern ment to lose l'anamu. It disrupted the government, set an example be fore the other states which threatens the inundation of the Colombian gov ernment, and emphasized tin- old principle of secession so thiilllngly that the very basis or every South American state trembles for Its or gnnii; existence. The president of the United Stales was ono or the first persons In an official position to recognize and In dorse the secession of Panama. Tho government or the United States was one or tbo very first to recognize tlie independence or Panama, thereby In dorsing the method by which Pana ma, an an Independent government, eamo Into existence that or seces sion. The Daughters or tile Confederacy of Texas, seeing in this act or the United States the hearty indorsement of tho cherished principle or tho South, have adopted the rollowiiig resolutions, sending n copy to Presi dent Hoosovolt, anil othor prominent public officials at Washington, who have greeted with Joy tho actions at Panama: "Whereas, The president of tho United States, by his recent course townrd tho Republic of Panama, 1ms shown to tho world his indorsement of the principle and tho right of se cession; and "Whereas, The people of tho Northern States, by their acceptance and approval of his course, have shown that thoy have been led by him out or tho Tog of Ignorance to tho bright realms or truth attained by Southern statesmen so many years ago; be It "Resolved, That we extend to the president tho hearty thanks of tho Daughters of tho Confederacy ot tho State or Texas, in convention assem bled, for ills indorsement of the prin ciples and his vindication of tho cnuso for which the Southern people fought so gloriously but so disastr ously In the war between tho states." The first actual step toward tho op eration of the Independent Packing Company lias been taken. The Inde pendent Stockyards Company has been Incorporated nt St. Louis, sites for buildings, otllces and yard faclll tles selected, and arrangements made to begin operations on January 1, l'JOt. The capital stock of the Inde pendent Stockyards Company is $100,000, and it is tho forerunner of the Independent Packing Company. This will be encouraging news to Western stockmen, who have sacn flceil their legitimate protlts to the beef trust for years. Every stock man In Oregon should go to Port land to attend the National Livestock Association meeting In January and by voice and presence encourage tho promotion of tho independent Pack ing Company. It Is the only promise for tho rangeman. It is a power plated in his hands by which ho can smite the trust through legitimate business competition. If the Inde pendent Packing Company falls to he pushed to completion, I he fault will be with those who most need Its assistance. Umatilla county may personally rojoleo nt the incorpora tion of this stockyards lompany in St. Louis. It Is the first shot in the bat tle against the beef trust. K. II. Harriman, while In Portland this week, exhibited a brond-guago and liberal disposition, when ho said (bat tbo great company he represents Is not actively opposed to the build ing of the portage load, as long as It did not Interfere with the operation or his mad. lie was willing for trans portation facilities to be Increased for Increased settlement always fol lowed incieased facilities and settle ment anywhere In the country tribu tary to his lines made more business tor his lines and meant more profits for his treasury. Hut .Mr. Hnrrlman need not fear tho opposition which the portage road may constitute in tlie traffic or tho inland Empire. The money Intended for the construction of the portage road is yet locked in tlio state treasury; the plans or the portago commission are locked in tlie minds of the members; tho late or tho portago bill which created the commission Is locked up In tbo pro gram or the special soBslon, nnd God, only, knows what that Is, the gover nor don't. Secretary Hitchcock's determina tion to attend to his own business is delightful, although it offends Ore gon. He Is paid to fill his office. WOMAN'S DANGER. When Dr. Dlx, rector ot Trinity church, deplores "tho steady decline of womanhood from its old Ideals" and "Its deterioration through copy ing the ways and Invading tho sphero or men" tho first Impulse or every man, recalling the noble women or his own acquaintance, is to resent tho Im putation. Hut when wu put personal feeling asido and look over the whole field, as dfselosed in tho current nows nnd In, unimpeachable statistics, It is Impos sible to resist tho conviction that the rector ot Trinity la right. Amerlcnn women of tho classes with which he deals liavo deteriorated rrom the old ideals or womanhood. Would It have been posslplo no or oven 20 years ago ror two divorced persons In rashionablo Rocloty to have a wedding the very dny pi' the wo nwn's divorce decree, at which flvo of the 10 guests bad been themselves divorced? In 1900 tlie census-takers round 114,fi77 divorced women In the United States, and tho statistician In charge warns us Hint this Is' an under-ostl-mate, since many divorcees described themselves ns single. Tho American woman's ljeail lias been turned by adulation and In her worship of self she forgets some of her duty to husband, family nnd coun try. Sbe becomes unpatriotic, barter ing her republican lilrtnrignt lor lor-; olgn titles. She becomes extravagant. I shallow and vain. She Is forgetting , how to manage a home.

The permission was granted him and for live minutes only the roar of his voice could be heard. When the collector got through lie was red In tho face and perspiring, and what he said when lie left tlio telephone box and slammed the door was not what Is commonly called po lite language. I 1 "I've Just got rid of tho toughest case I have bad In my twenty-live years' experience as n collector." he explained to the nowspaper men who were sitting uiound wondering what had happened to disturb his usual se-1 renlty. "I'd go out of tlie business II I had many moro like him. Just twelve years ago I was given the task of collecting $20 that he owed a down- tuxvn m?rMliint I plinseil him for two years without getting a cent, nnd then , lie came to me anu waiueu m mum .
