PANAMA CANAL TOLLS.

The question of tolls on the Pana-
ma Canal ought to be settled with 4
view to the indefinite future. We
are to do what is right now and if
possible do it so that it shall seem
right in the course of years, when
every element of bias, or prejudice,
or interest, it outgrown and laid
aside. We cannot afford to begin
wrong or to do anything which dis
credits US as a people in the eyes of
others.
AS the law stands, tolls are re-
m1tted to vessels engaged in the
coastwise trade between the two
coasts of the United States. Great
Britain raises a formal protest
against such law and asks that it
be submitted to The Hague tribunal
as to whether the Hay Pauncefote
treaty is or is not violated by such a
law.
The coastwise trade of the United
States has been barred to foreign
vessels almost from the beginning.
That is the same rule that is applied
by all other foreign countries to
their own trade. 1t is common prac-
tice with nearly all the nations. 1t
is held, then, on the part of those
who defend the law that vessels may
be favored all we please, on the way
between, say, New York and San
Francisco, by way of the canal.
The treaty provides that there
shall be no discrimination between
vessels of all nations that use the
canal. In other words, it shall be
open to all on the same terms. The
argument that such o rule is broken
by the law is too strong to be easily
overthrown
Suppose vessel loads at Rio for
San Francisco by way of the canal.
1t has to pay tolls under a foreign
flag. Another vessel loads at New
York for San Francisco. It may be
carrying the same kind Of goods, so
that they are competitors with each
other.
The difference in freight rates be-
tween one cargo and the other may
make the difference between profit
and loss in the final selling market.
Such an illustration tends at least to

show that there is discrimination
when the coastwise vessel is given
free passage under our flag while I'M
der foreign goods going from one
ocean into the other are taxed.
1t is that feeling Of injustice in
such cases that has led some OF the
ablest men in the Senate, like Mr..
Root, to maintain with great earn
estness that the law now on the
statute book is in contravention of
the treaty.
We ought to consider very careful
~ whether that is true or not and
IT it should be concluded that it may
be true, then the subject should be
again gone over with more care than
ever, SO as to be sure that we are
right before we open the canal to
traffic.
1t is out canal. We may do with
it as we please, treaty or no treaty,
but We cannot afford to stand before
the nations as a breaker Of faith,
even in the least degree. Neither
are we willing to give up our clear
rights on g punctilio Or at the de-
mand of any government.-Buf

change and become Protestant.

INCREASING THE COTTON ACRE
AEE
AGE.

TOMORROW the government will is
sue an estimate Of the cotton crop. 1t
is expected to report probable crop
Of 100000 bales. The farmer is
receiving about $50 bale for his
cotton, and yet it is conceded that
there are over two millions Of bales
OF the crop to go to market.
The crop of last year was 1920
600 bales, the largest ever made in
any country, and the crop Of this
year will probably prove to be sec
ond to that of last year only. And
yet the farmer receives IL cents for
every pound he has to sell
1t is becoming palmer every year
that the worlds consumption is rap
idly increasing, and that the cotton
belt in this country will soon be
pushed to meet the consumption, for
the worlds commercial crop of cot
ton is substantially the American
crop.
The tropical countries of the world
have small use for wooden clothing.
They want more and more cotton
goods, and they have the money to
buy and pay for them. The Panama
canal will be opened next fall, and
then our goods and our raw cotton
can be sent by the most direct route
and at least expense to the Orient
and to the west coast of South
America and to the islands of the
equatorial seas.
All this points to the need of
larger crop Of cotton in this country
and the newspapers are already de-
nd hGt no in fn1
next year be increased. 1t is easier
to increase the cotton acreage than
it is to pick the cotton when it is
open and ready to be gathered. 1t
is the picking out that limits the size
of the cotton crop. No machine is
equal to the task of picking cotton,
and when it has to be picked by hand
a vast force is needed in harvest

PARCEL
BOURNE'S
POST BILL.
SENATOR

Senator Bourne's bill providing
for general parcels posts is widely
discussed and public sentiment
plainly favors it's adoption. 1t is a
zone bill. Six zones would be estab-
lished. The first would have radial
distance of SO miles from the point
of mailing; the zones would include
the area lying between SO and 200
miles; the third, that between 200
and 500 miles; the fourth, that be-
tween 500 and 1000 miles; the
fifth, that between 1000 and 1000
miles, and the sixth, distances be-
yond 1900 miles. The rate for de-
livery within the first zone is cents
for the first pound or fraction of
pound; 2 cents for each additional
pound or fraction of a pound. The
rates would increase for each addi-
tional zone, until in the sixth they
reach maximum of 12 cents a
pound, the rate now charged in the
international parcels post. The rate
on the consolidated third and fourth
class mail matter is fixed at cent
an ounce for not more than four
ounces. Distinctive parcels post
stamps will be provided
The rate for articles carried in the
rural route and city carrier service
would be 5 cents for the first pound
and l cent for each additional pound
or fraction Of a pound. The rate
limit would be raised to II pounds
in all cases.
The friends Of a general parcels
post hope to see the Bourne bill
passed before the long session ad-
journs, and all friends Of the meas
ure are urged to bring to bear all
possible influence. Birmingham

Dear Aunt Addy: Will you admit
two more little Georgia girls into

for some time, and could no longer
resist the temptation. We are and
10 years old. We live in the coun-

cousin (Fannie's) pets are a cat, pig
and little chickens. | feed them and
look after them myself. We have a
beautiful playhouse; it has only six
rooms. We play in it most all the
time. How many of the Cousins like
to go to school? We like it, Our
school is out and we will be glad
when it starts again; we will be in
the third and fourth grades. We
would like to correspond with some

AUNT ADDY'S LETTER.

Ia ~ Y DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS:
IM While know money is
scarce" with ali of us, I am
rather disappointed that /
haven't had any response to my APP
peal in last weeks jeff for the mon
ey to buy our old Veteran some
teeth.
1t should not take us long to raise
the other SIS, Mr.. Watson has
donated 81, have donated another,
and the old Veteran needs only Sis
to make him able to enjoy his food.
We have two darling little girls
up here in The Jeff family, and one
was the guest of the other at dinner.
We country folks know how the cows
refuse sometimes to give enough
milk for all needs, and the little hos
tess said, "Cuzzy, butter is scarcely
now, you better let me help you to
it. 1t wasn't with the idea of de-
priving her guest that the little one
spoke, but with the idea Of seeing
she had plenty of butter, even if it
was scarcely"
Won't it be good idea for us to
deprive ourselves of some little
thing, even if money is scarcely
and help our old friend to enjoy life
little more than he is, deprived of
SO necessary aids as teeth?
The very best part of giving is
when we deprive ourselves of some
thing to make the gift possible.
