is only debating the issuance OF S3oo'ooo'
we suppose it Is figuring on the amount
of work that can be. done in the remainder
of the season. This is wise. There IS no
use in issuing now any more bonds thar

can be expended this year. We think that
no fault will be found with this course:
1t is now incumbent upon the alder
men who have so promptly responded to
the demand of sound public opinion re-

the bonds are voted Monday night There

Wheat and Preferential Tariff.

The London Statist thinks that the
granting Of preferential duty to Cana
dian wheat would not greatly affect the
exports Of wheat from the United States
to Great Britain. One reason why the
Statist thinks that the United States will
continue to be the main source Of wheat
supply of the British market is that the
United States wheat raising region has a
much greater diversity of climate than
Canada's. and is therefore, year in and
year out, more likely to be a reliable
source Of supply.
Climatic conditions vary greatly be-
tween North Dakota and Texas and be-
tween Illinois and California. It is rare
that the same year is one of lean crops all
over the United States. The American
surplus is likely to be larger than the
Canadian for many years to come and
win, therefore. be sold cheaper. There
are other reasons why the Statist thinks
the United States can continue to compete
with Canada in the English market not
withstanding a preferential tariff The
American railway facilities are better
than the Canadian both as to.mileage and
equipment. most OF the Canadian ports
are ce-bound In winter, and the American
ports are much better equipped.
OF course. in the long run. ability to
compete would depend upon the size OF
the preference. During the first years Of

ATHENS ISOLATION
London Daily Chronicle.

Athens, the only capital in Europe
which cannot be reached by rail, is sepa-
rated by several hundred miles from the
European main railway system, Of which
Brindisi, Salonild and Constantinopie may
be regarded as the three southern ternlini.
The projected line from Athens to Saioniki
will bridge the last gap of the chain. It
is to have the standard continental gage
Of four feet eight inches. and when COM
pleted it will be possible, to run thru car
riages from Calais to Athens and the
capital will be brought within three days
Of London. At present the quickest tran
sit is five days, via Brindisi and .Patras.
which involves a sea voyage almost as
long as that between Brindisi and Egypt.
Another anomaly is that Athens is the
only European capital to which there is
not a daily mail from Great Britain, a
privilege. enjoyed by the European capt.
tal'' even of that senni-civilized country
Morocco. The cost of the journey to
Athens is greater than that to any other
continental capital. 1t is not surprising,
then, to find the country, which. next to
Italy, is the richest in historic and artis-
tic interest in all Europe, is hardly known
at all to the average tourist 1t is still
the preserve of the leisured and wealthy
traveller, with his encourage of couriers
and dra gornans.

Tyranny of the Insurance Trust.

American Medicine in the current issue
puts into lucid form a line Of thought that
many persons have entertained in more
or less nebulous shape. It condemns life
insurance companies for, their violation
of the conidenc. the applicant for insur-
ance places in them or their medical ex-
aminers when he applies for insurance:
The public probably does not know that
all the old line insurance companies ex-
change medical reports. The result IS
that it is practically the rule that rejec-
ton by one company means rejection by
all. American Medicine enphatically de-
cIares that this: practice Of exchanging
reports is rank violation Of professional
ethics, and the public will probably
agree.
In a certain sense the: man who: SUBJ
niits to physical examination for life
insurance purposes becomes the patient
Of the examiner. He gives him such In
formation about his physical condition as
he would give to the family doctor, but
he would not care to have the ex-
aminer advertise it to the world It is true
confidential information broadcast, but he
does communicate it to just the places
where it will do the patient, l. e., the ap-
plicant the most harm. Thus an appli-
cant for insurance who is really in good
health and likely to live out the full ex-
competence or business of some physi-
clan or a temporary condition, be forever
debarred from the benefits Of life insur-
ance. A rejection is not only made, q
matter of record for the information of all
old-line insurance companies, but the ap-
plicant is required to say whether he has
been denied insurance before Such a
denial is equivalent, as a. rule, without
further consideration to a second rejec-
ton. Thus, as American Medicine argues
the life insurance business to-day has
become a trust which denies to many
persons the rights they. are entitled to al
| the hands of such quasi-public corpora
TONS
AS a remedy the medical journal pro.
poses that each state shall pass Law
| forbidding the medical departments o,
insurance companies from communicating
to each other any knowledge Of the ply
Steal condition of an applicant obtained
thru his examination. Going still furthe

as to the physical condition Of an APP
| plicant and that IL such revision ind
