TILLMAN AND THE CANAL. T*lie Senator Tells Why he Oppost the Panama Treaty. Ed 'or Spartanburg Journal. I have just read >our article in tl Journal ot January 4, "Senator Tillma and the Canal Treaty." I recoguize tl right of any of rny constituents to tak issue with me and my course sis a Sens tor and Jo critieife my public utteraucr and actions. I also know that tl Journal has always been fair and usual! friendly towards me. I therefore fe< that it is due myselPas well as my cot stituents who agree with you to sa something in answer to the editorii iu question. Ab to "personal hostility to Presiden Roosevelt," I would not allow ro pett and ignorable a spirit as that I hope t govern my action and I am surprise that, you put it as one of the excuse moving me. Iy brief I want to say tha my opposition to the Panama Cans treaty arises from the fact that in m judgment tlie actions of our executiv leading up to it, and the record of th transaction as a whole is the most con temptible and disgusting, nay disgrace ful, in all of our diplomatic annals. I favor an isthmian eanal and have n< choice of routes, rather preferring th Panama to any other because it i shorter, but that a just government liki this should engage in the practice of t sneak thief, and having obtained a pre tense for action based on secession aut then have the President utilize the arm] and navy if the marines fail?and tbej stain} ready to act when* the mariner fail?to coerce a weak power like Colombia is something I caunot endorse 01 approve. There would have been som< palliation, some excuse, if we had, as i nation, boldly declared that Colombu was obstructing the progress of civiliz i lion and was a bar to international com merce and then taken possession of th< isthmus under the law of internationa eminent domain and proceeded to con struct the canal without regaid fo ronse quences. Hut the honor of the Unitec States is dearer to me than auy benefil i)lo? rv. I* *T - vijuv luaj noui un iu tilt; UI1I16(1 01 any part ot it from the building of such a canal, and what ever may be the opinion of democrats; "commercial," 01 otherwise, about ignoring the principles of common honesty and common fail play, L will never give a vote as Senatoi from South Carolina endorsing this infamous policy, or making a treaty yyith j one man representing nothing, and using that as au excuse to coerc< Colombia from maintaining her sovereiguty over the isthmus. There ia noth ing but a shadow of a government ir Panahia and no one can deny that. This may be partisanship but I trust at least it is common honesty and I hope the people of South Carolina after they understand, if they do not already understand my attitude, will commend it 1 certainly know as much about what is going on as any man in South Caroli na. Whether they do or not I am or the ground I have no motive other thai that of discharging my duty as Senato here, and I shall certainly do that will the light before me without fear, favo or affection. If it meets the approva m of my fellow citiz?ns, I shall be happy If rot I shall be content because as Sen he ator from South Carolina I do not wisl he 'to do anything that will n fleet, on thosi th of my great predecessors who never for got the rules, of common honesty ii dealing witli their neighbors and win ve loved the honor of the republic mor ey than they did material advancement, rs.
