Marjorie, I do not mind the hours nor

I do loathe the associations here! The con-

NO DISCRIMINATION IN CANAL.

The effect of preferential treatment OF Amer
lean vessels i'll the Panama canal would be the
encouragement OF monopoly IN transportation from
ocean to ocean That such statement is logical
is our conclusion after careful study of the
problem that has arisen from the demand of Amer
lean shpowners for exemption from the payment
of tolls The question will be settled by congress
when it provides for the maintenance and admin
istration of the canal but there is every prospect
that it will be the occasion of bitter fight to
the end.
The canal is being dug to facilitate the move
ment of commerce between the Atlantic and the
Pacific coasts and at the time to put the
exporters of this country into better communica
ton with the markets of Europe and the Orient
The purpose of the government is,not to make it
possible for American vessels by virtue of the adj
vantage they would enjoy they relieved of
the payment of tolls to destroy any chance of
competition.
1t is argued that the preference would supply
an incentive to shipbuilding in this country and
tend to restore the merchant marine For such
should it be granted
The American flag has virtually disappeared
from the sea, but an arrangement that would be
unjust to the consumers interested III the move
, nent of products from coast to coast will not
put it back at the mastheads of shipping vessels.
Other policies of government operate against
extensive commerce under the American flag
and until they discontinued there can be no
improvement. The tariff on shpbuilding materials
is One the coastwse navigation laws constitute
another. 1t is absurd that there be any duty at
all on any of the apterals used in the construc-
tion of a vessel and'yet the. schedules pro-
hibtve that Americans cannot compete with the
foreign builders. Supplementing this unjust re-
stricton is that law combining American registry
to vessels actually constructed in the United
States and the result is that the American ship
builder is roped and tied
II congress desires to restore the merchant
marine, let it revoke these duties and allow the
registration of foreign-built craft Such reforms
would serve the purpose. But let it not violate
the spirit of the Hay Pauncefote treaty and sub
ject those millions of Americans who expect to
benefit by the freedom of commerce possible after
the opening Of the canal to the monopoly that
would surely result from discrimination in the
collection of tolls If passage through the cana
is to be free for any it should be free for all

WISE COURSE OF PRESIDENT TAFT.

The wisdom Of President Taft, manifested
striking in relation to vast number of problems
which have been presented to the nation since
his Inauguration, is shown most clearly in his at
titude toward the Mexican situation. Acquanting
himself with the actual character of the problem
in all it's bearings, as is the custom of the pres-
dent in matters OF great moment, he took the
course which promised to avoid complications that
threatened to precipitate that could not but
be long and costly in treasure and lives. The fact
that the 14,000000 Mexicans are. for the most
part, Indians, OF nature and temperament similar
to those of the American Indians who gave this
country much trouble through many decades
before their suppression could be effected,
stituted one serious phase of the problem, while
the desrability of avoiding anything which might
arouse the suspicion of the Central American and
South American republics was another.
The firm stand taken by the president says the
San Francisco Post, and his prompt dispatch of
troops to the border served to impress upon the
warning factions in the disturbed country the de-
STABILITY of protecting the lives and safety of the
Americans and other foreigners In the stopping
of the shipment of arms across the border to be
placed in the hands of all manner of rresponsi-
BILE persons, President Taft put an end to one of
the chief sources of danger to American interests
More recently, having compelled the wea1ling
president of the country to admit that he could
not guarantee the absolute safety of Americans
even in the City 1of Mexico. because of the n,.
ability of the authorities to control certain rabd
elements of the populace. President Taft arranged
| for the arming OF all responsible Americans for
| their own defense in case of need President Ma
dero compelled to acquiesce in this arrange
ment
The results of the general policy pursued in
the saving of American lives and vast amount
of American property in Mexico, well the
appalling cost OF garrisonng the country for many
years, as would have been necessary in the event
of intervention, is in marked contrast to what
might have occurred if any man lacking the wis
dom, calm Judgment and executive ability of Will
lam Howard Taft had been president of the

WHAT LIES AHEAD OF MEx1coY

That Madero will not long be able to remain in
power is the prospect that lies ahead of the Mex
lean republic. His hold has been weakened and
the repeated of the rebels have gradually
broken down the defense he has interposed be-
TWEEN them and the capital 1t is our prediction
that within a few weeks he will have either
signed been driven from office and perhaps.
from the country.
President Madero is charged with having be-
trayed the people. Arrogant and inordinately
selfish in Office, he has turned upon those who help
ed him to win, is the accusation, and has refused
to consider reforms proposed in the interest
of the popular welfare.
But what is to follow his abdication en-
forced retirement The question is one that con-
Germs Americans perhaps, much as 1t does
Mexicans, for Americans realize how the situation
will affect this country.
General Orozco, the rebel leader would be in
toerable as president; Gomez would be little bet
ter as far as ability to administer the affairs of
the office is concerned; De la Barra would at once
array large part of the people against him.
And so, however this revolution terminates, it
is almost certain that another will closely follow it
and that condition of chaos lies ahead
Under such circumstances the course of the
United States must be determined with the great
est care There many thousands of Ameri-
cans in Mexico whose lives in danger and
whose property interests estimated to be worth
at least $900000,000 The protection of them
therefore becomes a problem that calls for eau
tious craftsmanship.
Some believe that Intervention will .be neces-
sary, that only by military movement across
the border will it be possible to restore order and
stop the slaughter. This is no time to say that
such action will not be the only resort of this
government, for day by day the feeling against
| the Americans is growing more intense Dislike
| has given way to hatred and the Mexicans pas
sions and emotions generally break over all con.
| troll
1t is to be hoped that the use Of the army ear
be avoided, but this nation must protect its peo
| pie and their property at all hazards
1t is unjust to ask Americans to desert legiti
mate homes and places of business They mus

Foreign trade continues to improve and the ex-

closer trade relations with the United States if
they can be got, and seems to be disincined to

improbable that the whole, reciprocity question
will be reopened in Canada before long and
any agreement with the West Indies would not

was discovered that i'm the hurry
of leaving the special train his
attendants had neglected TO bring
his pajamas.
The formal statement of the
physicians rs To the location of
the bullet was not expected TO be
made until after the photographs
of the examination had been COM
plctcd. The physicians. however.
appeared more cheerful after the
examination had been made, and
il was believed that the location
Indicated by the nurse would
prove the correct one. No prepa-
rations for an operation were be-

IL was evident that the doctors
had decided 90 walt until the
final result Of their examination
was definitely known before they
attempted TO remove the bullet.
This fact was considered enCOur-

They asserted that If the exami-

made to remove the bullet.
The Colonel shaved himself
