THE NEW FLAG OF PANAMA;
THE SHIELD OF COLOMBIA
A n-w flag lias been to the halyards
of every tall staff on the isthmus of
Panama. It challenges at one the gaze
and the questionings of the civilized
world. Is it “put to stay,” or is it but
n temporary symbol of sovereignty soon
to be subdued or absorbed?

It Is not age that gives -ignilicance to
national ensigns. Some of the oldest
of them are now but symbols of weakness
and subsuzeraintly, as that of Egypt,

A very singular fact is th i.L since Betsy
Ross, by the design ami help of Wash
ington. made the first example of our
flag in 1776, and which was enlarged
and adopted by congress as the. national
ensign in 181 S. nearly every one of the
national standards of the powers of Eu
rope have been changed.
The English flag was changed at the

those adept official sponges indigenous

EARLY MATURING COTTON IS

General Government Buys Three

Washington. November 9— Secretary
Wilson, of the department of agricul
ture, was an early caller on the presi
dent today. Ho lias just returned from
Texas, where he went to make an Inves
tigation of the condition of cotton and
tn learn the results of the light the
planters are making against the boll
"Many of the. planters arc taking the
advice o'' the agricultural department
ami are planting early cot ion," said the
secretary. “Practically the entire late
crop was destroyed. The weevil has rav
aged much of tiie best pail of the Texas
cotton belt. AH efforts to exterminate
it seem Io have been unavailing. Efforts
to m .-idle i the house fly would be about
as efficacious. The only wav m meet

cotton and get in the crop before tile
weevil has opportunity to destroy it.”
Georgia Cotton Seed for Texas.

Secretary Wilson has purchased 300 tons
of Georgia eoton seed for early planting

interestingly and earnestly today of his
recent trip to Texas to investigate the
cotton question and the ravages of the
boll weevil.
“The Texas cotton growers," said Sec
retary Wilson, “are great sufferers from
the weevil, and as the weevil does not at
tack early maturing cotton, ilio Tex is
plant’i.- will have to try their luck at
planting their crop earlier than hereto
fore. 'The up country of north Georgia
raises a very superior grade of cotton
s< d. and the dejiaviment has purchased
a large quantity, about 300 tons, for dis
tribution exclusively in Texas. We are
going to try and help the Texans get
ahead of the weevil by sowing early the
finest grade of north Georgia cotton seed.
If w . in obtain any better, or as good,
i isewhi re, we will buy it- North Georgia
and South i'arolina plant early, gather
thi ir crop . ariler than some of tiie. other
cotton growing states, and for that reason
wc are able to get the seed to send, to
Texas at -bis time."
Secretary Wilson ays in T‘xas there is

NEW ERA NEAR FOR CUBA,
DECLARES W. A. VARTY
WA. \ AR'I'V. of Havana, Cuba,
is at the Piedmont, on his way
* to Washington and New York.
.Mr. Varty has lived in Cuba for five
years, and represents several American
newspapers at Havana. Ho i) ;i , s been a
frequent contributor to The Constitu
tion.
Speaking of Cuban conditions, Mr. Var
ty says:
“A new era. is dawning for Cuba. The
fait that her economic and political con
dition has assumed a pricperous and re
assuring aspect makes this so. The day
1. lift Cuba, the treasurer of the island
reported that lu- had to the island's cred- j
it $4,000,000 This accumulated by econ
omy mid guod management since. May
20. 1902. The prosperity O s th- new re
public is attributable to several causes;
first, a judicious government, which has
seen fit to carry out to the letter the |
provisions of the Platt amendment.
"Sanitation, which was one of Hie first
great obligations imposed upon Cuba by
this law, has proven to the world through
its present condition that it has been car
ried out. The fact that for more than
three years no case of yellow fever has
appeared In tiie island . sufficient proof
of this and that this has become known
Is proven by the great Influx of capital
from all over the world, and, especially,
from the United States which has made
itself felt wonderfully during the last
twelve month...
"Moro than $100,000,000 has been in
vested in Cuba from abroad during the
regime of Hie new rep. Tic. Os this, tiie
American tobacco trust claims $26,000.-
000. Timber investm-ii: ..mount to $lO,-
000,000. cattle range land $5,000,000 and
small farms several mil. ms more, which,
together wiilt the railroad interests which
have been invested during the above
named period, and tiie it wstments in the
towns and cities malto •.;> th.' total.
"Notable among the I '•• Investors in
Cuba is the Bahia Hund Land and Im
provement Company, v i-h owns all ot
Hie lauds surrounding • I’niti d States
government coaling state at Bahia Hon
da. This investment a: - ■ will bring to
northwestern Cuba an American colony
which will rival in size .1 started here

location of Hu- colony, ■ “rounding as it

Results of the War.
"The. fact that Cuba is t today a. rich
country in money is due in great meas
ure to the effects of a d< fiructive war.
• inti this has be st aggt. • '"d by tiie low

its mortality from al! causes was re

Black in an equal measure with Major

an engineering officer of much expetl
ence, planned Improvements of magni

throughout the island. His sanitary meas

chief sanitary officer of Havana, built

ROOT IS FAVORABLE TO
DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF
THINKS HEADQUARTERS WILL
BE IN ATLANTA SOON.
Secretary of War Recognizes Neces
sity of Department of the Gulf and
Favors Its Establishment.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, November I! -tSp.Tl.it'
Secretary of War Root today ex-pressed
the opinion that Hie department ot tho
gulf would soon be reestablished with
headquarters at Atlant.:. His talk was
with Colon-'! T.ivingUon. ami in tin <'"T
it; -tion h.- referred to Hie fa-'t o! tlaior
Gemral Corl.':.-), commander >' Hi de
p.artincnt of Hie cast, being in At tr.ta
today.
This SL.'teiii'-n w.s mr.fli’ in tl'C -'O-.jrsc
era talk Co.'onel Livingston had with
t io sccrt-'.iry relative to several matters
of interest to his constituents. One of
tlies'e was the proposition to put elec
tr’-.-ity in the grounds and buildings at
Fort McPherson.
Sorin- time ago a recommendation that
the buildings at the fort bo wir'-.-l for
lectricil’ was made by Colon I i:;.'!er
1 1 . Price, comnninilii.g officer of the post,
and this was transmitted io the de-
■ partment through the regular channels,
i Tiie recommendation reached tl: war
department just after Secretary Root
I li ft for London to take up his duties
j as a member of th? Alaskan boundary
■ i >- immissioti, and tn 'ms absence thi new
| assistant setret iry did not fi • ! that he
: ought to pass upon the matter Tt.lay
■ v. ns the first opportunity Colonel T.iv
! ingston had to s>-e Se.’r.'tary Root since
In- return about the m’tt- r of the light
j ing contract.
! Sect ..-tary Root said 1. • did not feel
I at liberty to act upon the tn it ter at this
I time. lie then suggested that It might
I be best for the government to put in
its own plant.
■ "Wita: ton ought, to do. Mr. Seoie
tar;-said Colonel Living-tea., a to re
..stal'llsh the department of the gulf, and
then you would probably have to pul. in
! such a plant."
"Well," responded Secretary Root, "in
my opinion that will be done; an 1 be
cause I think it probable, it seems to me
tli.. lighting in.liter might be li- id up
for a while longer,"
General Corbin Favors New Depart
ment.
Major <!■.: eral 11. C. Corbin, omman.i
er of the department of the east, v.-ith
headquarters on Governors Island, N \v
York, was th" guest of Mayor Howell
and other prominent citizen.: of Atlanta
WeiJnr -.la v upon the occasion of his visit
to this city for the purpose of inspe-ting
■md reviewing the Sixteenth infantry,
si.i’ion'.-.l at Fort McPherson.
One of tii? most interesting statements
made by General Corbin during his orief
stay in Atlanta was regarding the pro
posed icestublishmeiit of the military de
partment of the gull. Lor which Atlan
tans have been wot king ever since Hie
old departm -nt of the gulf was merged
with the department of Hie east sev -ral
years ago.
Win ;t asked ai:at li thought of the
probability of reestablisi’ing the depart
ment of the gull. General Corbin said:
"That is a matter that rests ■ t.-ly
with the war department at Washing
ton. I have, however, been informed
that a number of senators and repre
sentatives (rum this section h.-iv? be
come Interested in tho matter, although
1 am unable to state what has been the
result of their efforts. I am as much in
Hie dark as any one else. It is a fact,
however, that there Is considerable work
and expense attached to the removal or
establishment of a department, and for
that reason the officials of the war de
partment will doubtless proceed carefully
in this, as they do e in other matters."
General Corbin was asked if he w xild
favor reestablishing the department of
the gulf in his reports to the war de
partment.
' That is a matter upon which 1 am
not expected to report." ho answered.
Tiie war department has entire cltargo
of all such matters, and anything I
should ty regarding it would be entire
tv gratuitous."
The general wa.-- urged Io give his
• views upon the matter, especially with
reference to the desirability ot Atlanta
i .is headquarters for a military depait
mefit.
■ lie smiled before answering.
“Anything that 1 should say," he re-
