AIDING AMERICAN SHIPPING.

Representative Fordney. of Michigan,
has introduced a bill which at least de-
serves careful consideration. His pro-
position is that American merchant
steamships may have their Panama
canal tolls assumed by the government
if they, in turn, will hold themselves
as auxiliaries to the army and navy.
Under the international understand
ing the canal is to be open to all ships
upon the same terms. It would be a
grand good thing if American ships
could be given free use of the canal as
al aid in the building up of a mer-
chant marine. But this cannot be done.
American ships must pay the same
toll as foreign craft.
But certainly the government has a
right to contract with American built
steamships for the use of the latter IN
case of war, and it is no other coun-
try's business what form that contract
takes. IF the agreement should be that
tt. auxiliary should receive in the
course of a year the exact amount that
its canal tolls totaled, the scheme
would attain the same object as if the
canal were opened to them free The
bill beats the devil around the stump
to be sure. but 1t seems to promise re-
sults.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Politicians are now talking that one
OF the important matters to come be-
fore the next session of the Kansas
legislature is needed changes in the
house rules. AS a matter of fact,
though, this may be set down as the
least important of many essential
things that the legislature will find
to do. Still its members may be ex-
pected to waste much valuable time
In haggling over changes in the rules.
Legislators are only humans and they
must keep up with the styles If they
do nothing else.

YOUTH IN CITY AND COUNTRY.

On the same day a doctor tells us
that city life is bad for children and
minister that country life is worse.
In both cases it is moral consider
ations that are involved. Dr. Favill,
out at Oak Park, maintains that city
life tends to undermine the moral
strength of the boy by depriving him
of his proper allowance of air and ex-
ercise. Rev. Mr.. Strayer. in the Bibli-
cal World, declares that. as regards
the grosser forms of temptation which
assail adolescence, the towns are
worse than the cities, the villages
worse than the towns, and that the
plain straight country is the worst of
all.
A seeming dilemma. Are we to as
sumo that all 1ife-city and country
alike-is bad and put up the shutters?
Not just yet awhile. For the dilemma
leaves a way out. Arrange to be born
in the country and feed your opening
nature on unlimited fresh air. Later
on come to the big centers, where the
''unrelenting demands of city activi-
ties keep you busy and out of mis-
chief. Many young Americans follow
that plan, and our country is far from
being a failure yet.-Chicago Record
Herald.
