Paners Approve Action

Lohdon, August 29.--Several of the London newspapers this morning print editorials expressing satisfaction with the action of the British charge d'affaires at Washington, A. Mitchell mnes in pre- senting the British note protesting against the Panama canal act and threat .ening to appeal to the Hague tribunal for arbitration in the matter.
 The Daily Mail says 1t is one of the tragic comedies of public life ,ihat Pres ident Taft, who q year ago seemed des- tined to become universal peace maker should be known even in his own coun- try as a treaty breaker.
 '.Whatever excuses may be offered" :" the Daily Mail adds. President Taft must recognize that he acted in defiance of Amcriean public opiaion.
 The Daily News and some of the other newspa pers after examining the text of the Panama canal bill point out that the provision authorizing the President to grant to American ships of all kinds low CT tolls than, those granted to- foreign ships unquestionably proclaims Ameri- ca B right to discriminate between Ameri- can and foreign shipping, and declare the dispute undoubtedly ought to go to the Hague for. arbitration.

High Tariff Responsible

Bangor, Me- August 2S. The saeclara ton that the protective tariff system was directly responsible for eampaig contributions from corporations was madc al a democratic rally here tonight by Go Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana, demo- cratic candidate for vice president.
 Bad as have been the contributions, he said and viciouss as have been the expenditures of money in the campaigns, worse than all has been the system or protection which has compelled he trust magnates to keep lobbles at Washington, hire lawyers and finance legislators Is il much wonder, when these accessories ard necessary for legislation. that the men who have been held up by public ser- wants in turn hold up the publie2'
 Governor Marshall and Governor Plaisted. the Maine executive. who is seek Ing reelection, spoke from the same plat form at tonight's meeting. Governor Marshall said in part:
 'The man who has a theory thai sys- tenn is wrong inevitably traces all evils to that system. Opposed to high protec- ton and believing as 1 do that the trust Is It's offspring. l cannot see If other wise than that the investigation We are to have with reference to the contro- versy between Messrs. Roosevelt. Arch- bold. Penrose and kindred subjects, need never have been held if the system had not been Tn vogue The cOulfDNefAJ Wds as ludicrous as 1t was enlightening.
 Not Who, But Why
 Now the real point of that controversy was not who hid the papers, but why were they hidden? So now we need waste no time in a controversy as to whether MT Roosevelt knew before hand of the con- tribution of the Standard oil company. We need not bother about whether his iotf ufrft in nr ha fail as all this is beside the issue. # is undlsputed that the money was paid and used That is the important thing
 ''I hope and believe that this is the dawn of new day and these trust mag rates, whether actuated by high motives or not. will see that the best thing for them to do is to go ahead and do business without the help of Congress upon the consideration that Congress will permit them to do legitimate business. If the American is what he says he is-the smartest man on eart4--and if he can have the assurance that tariff laws are not to be tempered with every 30 min utes and that 1t is not necessary for him to put around his schedule a platoon of lawyers and lobbists to save il, and if he knows that his interests are going to be unaffected by a lack of campaign contributions he can save enough money to make up for the reduction in tariff schedules and he can go to bed with the assurance that his interests are not to be jeopardzed over nlgnt and he can sleer confetti without fear of being awakened by the United States marshal"

MT. Tnnes was instructed by-hs gov ernment to file the protest and he sent it to the state department 1t said merely that Great Britain still stands in her previously explained attitude in regard to the Panama bill The tone of the note makes it appear that Great Britain believes if will be neces- sary to submit the question to arbi- ration.
