pHEASANTS A PLAGUE.

pheasants are a plague in the MIS-
quany river valley III Washington ana
farmers are up in arms, not against
the pheasant, but the members of the
legislature who made the closed sea
son law. The toothsome birds have
eaten up the potatoes and much small
grain and even attacked the apples
and other fruits.
1t is reported from that section OF
the state that these birds wing down
upon the farms in large tiocks. They
scratch out the tubers and pick out
eyes and centers leaving but shell of
the former potato. The loss caused
by the birds Is large, and because of
the semi domesticated instinct of
these oriental birds they do not feal
scarecrows, dogs or firing of eX-
plosiVes.
The farmers in their petition tc
have an open season declared state
that they do not care to go cunning il

FREE CANAL TOLLS
FOR COASTWISE TRADE

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
In the public discussion now being
made on the question Of Free Canal
Tolls through the Panama canal on
American coastwise shipping, the fact
should not be lost sight of that article
Of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, read
ing as follows
THE said Government shall have and
enjoy all the rights incident to such
construction, as well as the exclu-
sive right of providing for the regula-
ton and management OF the canal
should be taken in connection with the
first paragraph Of article 8 of the same
treaty, reading as follows:
THE canal shall be free and open to
the vessels Of commerce and Of war OF
all nations observing these rules on
terms of entire equality, so that there
shall be no discrimination against any
such nation. or its citizens or subjects
in respect of the conditions or charges
of traffic or otherwise
This fully justifies, in my opinion. the
view that the treaty aims solely. to reg
ulate and impose the same rates Of toll
on all competition for commerce be-
tween nations IN a common market; but
1t does not either imply or express that
domestic commerce within the confines
of any nation), which in our case Is not
open to foreign competition, Is brought
The Washington times., 1911-09-14

within the purview of the treaty regu-
lations. On the other hand. the treaty
gives the United States the exclusive
right of providing for the regulation
and management Of the canal" II
that means anything, It means that we
can do whatever We want for ourselves
in the matter of using the canal to
regulate our internal transcontinental
commerce, so long as we do not dis
criminate in favor Of ourselves on canal
tolls when II comes to competing in a
foreign market where other nations
have trade relations. 1 am not con-
tending for free tolls for all American
ships In all trades, but only for free
tolls In the domestic coastwise trades
Of this country for all independent
shipping.
II this construction can be placed
upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, 1t
seems to me that nothing can be
palmer than that it should be invoked
by Congress in favor Of all coastwise
commerce. Within our own borders
free tolls on this traffic will mean
cheaper transportation. and that cannot
but have its effect in materially re-
ducing the cost of living, which is what
the people are most vitality interested
in bringing about at this time. I trust
you will, therefore, give this view the
widest discussion In your columns.

to have an indignant public extort de-
cent treatment from them.
They would make a bid first for
popularity, and then for business. They
would get both.
1t would PAY to give the people OF
this town universal transfers. 1t would
pay for just the same reasons that it
paid the Western Union to give the
public facility it needed, at rate
so low that people wouldn't believe 1t
when it was first announced.
Go to the experience of the steam
railroads with 2-cent car fares.
They all proclaimed, when the 2-cent
agitation began, that it would ruin
them.
Instead, it added to the profit Of the
passenger service of almost every road.
The truth is that the stockholders of
the street car companies, simply be-
cause of their desire for dividends,
ought to insist that their managing Of
ficials inaugurate the broad business
policy which would mean the most and
best business.
That policy would begin with uni
versal transfers.

ROOSEVELT ON
ARBITRATION TREATY

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The professional pesce-at-any-cost ad-
vocates have something to ponder over
in that most logical editorial pronounce
ment Of Theodore Roosevelt against the
recently signed general arbitration
treaty. His opening sentence, 1T Is
one OF our prime duties as nation TO
seek peace" indicates where he stands.
His knowledge Of events and under
standing of human nature are behind
that classic which discredits the IRON
master and causes the other gentleman
to appear in the role Of a bag OF vino,
Evidently Mr.. Roosevelt Is partly
conscious that history is book open to
all, and that, no matter how learned In
economies, or however stolcal the Bern
convention, of savants, they are .,eroa as
q curse as they are to alter the course
Of evolution, or truthful " deny that the
lightning purif1es the air. VIZ ~

opinions Of his poor and jealous rela-
tons.
/ 2. His letter was altogether uncalled
for, and did not accomplish what he
intended 1t should, but rather aroused
the pity Of all who read his letter, for
his rank ignorance.
3. 1t is not necessary TO say anything
in defense of the noble men who COM
posed the Southern army; history has
immortalized most of them.
T. 1t Is only the carpetbaggers, who
have such violent prejudices atIthe pres
ent day.
5. The South, as a whole today, love
the nations flag better than most
of the people of the North, but natural
~ honor those who fought for their
convictions from 1861 to IS.
6. Dixie is cheered more now than
1t ever was, for the South has more
sympathizers than 1t had In the sixties.
Z. 1t is unbecoming in one 50 young
to write and so violently express his
opinion of those who are so far SUI
perior to himself.

GIVES INFORMATION
AS TO MR.. JEFFERY

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Your correspondent. Mr.. Harlow
asks: who knows who is H. s. JEFF
feryT' Without seeking to advertise
the institution in which Mr.. Jeffery is
interested, we would say that he is
president Of the Jeffery Correspond
ence Schools, and there is not, perhaps,
a railroad official or railroad employe
In the United states who has not heard
of or knows Of Mr.. Jeffery. He Is the
man that Taft, the railroads, and a few
others tried to bluff and buy out.
And now, Mr.. Editor. who is Mr..
Robert Harlow? His name does not APP
near in the 1911 edition of the City Df-
Tecfory. Perhaps, after all. he Is the
press agent Of the interests Mr.. JEFF
ferry has fought. We gather this Inn
preston because we fail to find his
name in the City Directory Also: be
cause Mr.. Harlow seems to want others
to take his side and attack Mr.. Jefery.
In conclusion, we would say that Mr.,
Jeffery, In speaking about President
Taft, speaks from personal expert
ences, and Taft is full aware Of Mr.:
Jeffery's attitude, and he (Taftl would
aite- it If he could; it has already been
