Guarding this monument and its
surrounding columns there are two
heavy cannon-siege guns of the civil
war. The monument stands in the
pretty courthouse square. Over
against it, on another corner of the
square, there is a bronze statue Of
Nelson Dewey, first governor of the
state Of Wisconsin. It is a sitting
figure much like that of Abraham
Lincoln in front of the manin hall at
the university. In the statue
Governor Dewey holds pen in hand,
as if about to write.
On the corner of the square
diagonally across from this statue
there is soldiers memorial fountain
erected by the Ladies of the Grand
Army. At the top Of a column rising
from the center of the basin of the
fountain a metal figure of heroic size
represents a soldier on guard,
One can hardly visit this court

their soldier boys of 1876

A Canal Toll Problem.

course in the matter OF its protest against
the discrimination in favor of American
ships in the use of the Panama canal.
nouncement that it proposed to appeal
forthwith to The Hague tribunal. and it
leaves open the ground of its objection
10 the recently enacted legislation. A
hint however, comes from London in the
form Of letter by Sir Edward Grey,
British secretary of foreign affairs, to a
chamber Of commerce-an astonishing dis
cussion in correspondence of pending
issue of diplomatic importance-whch in
dicates that the granting OF free passage
10 American coastwise vessels as well as
American ships in foreign trade under
certain conditions will throw the entire
burden or canal maintenance upon the
vessels of other nations. thus constitut-
ing disproportionate tax upon the com
merce Of the world. This is a new phase
~ the case. far the British gov
ernment is concerned. Ii raises an eco-
nomic rather than an ethical question.
As counterpoint the United States may
question what would be the grounds OF
tolls at the prescribed rate from the
american vessels now declared exempt
and then refund the tolls in the form OF
subsidy Assuredly in such case the
burden OF canal maintenance would fall
upon foreign ships exclusively, just as un-
der the proposed arrangement

New York "Thrillers." :"

the adage that truth is stranger than

lie doings Of a big city like New York
where there il literally something hap
hening out OF the ordinary all the time
Nor u this strange, for in an aggrega-
ton Of several million people il is inevi-
table that the forces of romance and
tragedy should operate over a wide range
Hnd produce some extraordinary results.
Take for an example. the gradual de-
gelopment OF the tale OF police corrup-
tlon and officially inspired assassination
that carries within it possibilities of a
cataclysmic political upheaval. Nearly
every aspect OF 1t Is suggestive of the
inventions of a skillful novelist Indeed,
II is assured that phases of this widely
ramified crime will be presented in books
and on the stage in short order, for
nothing more wildly dramatic has ever
hcen concocted through invention than
this complex and far-reaching crime.

Doubtful Helpfulness.

Undoubtedly actuated by the most hu-
name motives. it is doubtful whether good
judgment was exercised by those who
yesterday caused a motor car to be
rushed madly through Pennsylvania ave-
nue in order to carry boy who had been
hit by street car to the Emergency
Hospital. BY good chance no one was
struck In the course from 9Th street west
ward. but several narrow escapes re-
suited from the tremendous speed of the
car. In the rarest OF cases is there any
need OF such haste in getting an injured
person to the care OF a physician. In
this instance the boy proved to be only
slightly injured. and it would have been
a sad commentary upon the praiseworthy Y
purpose Of his rescuers If some one had
been killed by the motor car in it's career
up the Avenue. The presence OF q
policeman on the motor did not lessen
the seriousness of the offense against
public safety.

one of the developments of routine life
in one Of the biggest cities of the world.
