RIGHT TO FORTIFY
CANAL A QUESTION
If Serious Obstacles DeveIope
They Must Be Settled by
Congress.

Washington-Now that the United
States is about to complete the Pana-
ma canal, many nations are interest
ing themselves in the question OF its
fortification and have succeeded in
raising discussion of the proposition.
The United States, however, is going
ahead calmly with the plans for de-
Tending the canal, which are before
President Taft, and the question, II
any serious opposition develops, must
be settled in congress this winter.
The two problems, therefore, which
are agitating the officials of the Unit.
ed States and of other countries, are
whether the United States has the
right to fortify the canal, and whether
it can do it successfully if it has the
right.
Question of Right to Fortify.
There is little doubt of the ability
of the United States to fortity The
canal effectively. Whether or not II
has the right to do so according tc
the agreement with Great Britain is 8
more involved question.
Apart from treaty consideration the
right of the United States cannot be-
questioned The United States con
trolls the 10-mile strip through watch
the canal runs, as much as it controls
the Philippine Islands. This country
spent hundreds of millions of dollars
to dig the waterway. The right OF the
United States to erect what fortified
tions it pleases within its own t%rri
tory and to defend its own possessions
cannot be questioned.

One on the Ludaa.

The lawyer for the prosecution had finished his closing argument, and the judge. pompous and long winded in- dividual. was charging the jury.
 He was in the midst of an unusual ly long and tedious address when he suddenly noticed that one of the jury men had fallen fast asleep. The fn- dignation of his honor was boundless. Tapping sharply on his desk. he awak- ened the slumberer. who seemed not at all abashed at being thus caught mapping. After glaring at him angrily for a few moments the magistrate in his most sarcastic tone said:
 "So that's the way you attend to your duty, is it? You're a fine speci- ment to have on jury. Do you think your opinion will be of any value when I send you out to determine the fate of this prisoner?"
 "Yes, sir,'' said the juryman quietly; 'I think so.''
 "Oh, you do, do you?' shouted the exasperated judge. Pray tell me, sir, how long you have been sleeping?"
