PAYING THE CANAL BILL.

Paying the bill for digging the Panama canal
looks toleraby easy on paper, even though the end
Of the process may not be reached until our grand
children are travelling through it. The forecast Of
Expert Johnson, who figures the rates of tolls, is
that by 1925, perhaps, if business is good we may
begin paying per cent of the $375, 100000 total
expense into the sinking fund; and twenty years
lister, il too much is not needed for modern improve,
ments, the rate may rise to or per cent.
This is eminently satisfactory. The canal was
undertaken, not as a commercial enterprise but as
great national improvement; and to get the expense
hack ultimately by fair charge for use to all ma
tons is all we have fair right to expect And three
generations would not be long time in which to do

SOME DANGERS OF LIBERTY.

The stories of the dynamiters on trial in Indian
apols, Of how they ugged suit full of dynamite

impossible to contemplate the stored-up capacity for

High explosives are very useful; in modern in
dustry, highly necessary. But when our internal
revenue system concerns itself so intimately with
the production of every solitary gallon of whisky, is
II not remarkable that high explosives may be made

PRESIDENT TAFI's LOTUS ADDRESS.

I President Taft, if he should set himself about it,
might write an extremely interesting work on our
Government He always has something interesting
and rather worth While to say when he talks about H.
and he made no exception in his Lotus Club speech.
There was suggestion of confession in his OBJ
servations about the danger that too large part Of
an Administrations energies may be devoted to
politics, so long as there is tine possibility of re-
election; indeed so long as failure OF reelection is
bound to be translated into verdict of failure. Mr.
Taft assuredly is capable of giving testimony on this
subject. His suggestion Of a six-year term and a
constitutional bar against reelection is unqueston-
ably reflection OF growing national sentiment
toward which experience with Mr. Tafts own Ad-
Ininistraton has contributed most substantially.
Along with any such change as this, it is safe to
