For the first time in twenty'eigh,

when Mr.. Hitchcock became post

On. Rstorm Mos. Necessary.

The president based his recon-
mendations for governmental economy
on reports to himself from special
commission which has made study
of the situation that is in the main
to be relied on. There are some de-
tails in suggested economies which
are not as good as others. A notably
broad recommendation. and one that
undoubtedly will receive attention
later II not now. is that for extending
the scope OF selections on the merit
basis. instead of using positions to
reward political activity. Every time
an appointment is made for capacity
instead of for pull there is money
saved to the people.
There have grown up expensive
ways of doing business at Washing

the interest OF better results as well
as In the interest of honesty.

SHOULD NOT PAY TOLL
SHIPS HAVE RIGHT TO
FREE USE OF PANAMA CANAL.
II II Is Decided Otherwise, Another
Handicap VIII Have Been Placed
on the Merchant Marine of tho
United States.

The unprogressive and narrow-mind-
ed attitude which congress has long
maintained toward American shipping
on salt water is reflected in the mani
fest inclination of some of the mem.
bers of the house committee on In
terstate. 1d foreign commerce to com.
pei American ships passing through
the Panama canal to pay the same
tolls demanded of foreign shipping.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty is cited
In support OF their position. 1t is
stipulated in this agreement that all
nations shall be treated alike as to
tolls. But cannot this be construed
fairly as referring only to all nations
other than the one building the canal?
Is there any Justice in the assump-
ton that the country which has been
expanding nearly s400,O0O.000 to cut
great ship channel through the
isthmus and is burdened with the ex-
pense and responsibility of maintain
ing and protecting It, shall not be per
mitted to send It's own ships through
free? If American ships are compelled
TO pay for using the canal, an add
tional burden will be placed upon the
American merchant marine, already
so badly handicapped that 1t cannot
compete with foreign shipping in in
ternational traffic.
II congress insists upon placing
rigid. narrow construction on the
treaty and compels vessels flying the
Stars and Stripes to pay tolls at the
general rate, 1t should at least give Sc
rious heed to the necessity OF doing
something to encourage American
clearwater shipping In other ways.

ALARMING AT FIRST, SIGHT
But Figures Given as to Cost Of Main
taIning Panama Canal Are Some
what Misleading.

It is rather startling TO hear that
Prof Emory C. Johnston, as an expert.
calculates the cost of operating ana
maintaining the Panama canal at $751;
100000 a year. while estimating Its
revenue at the start at 100000. But
when we discover the way this total
is made up we find It much less alarm
ing.
Professor Johnston puts the actual
cost OF operation and repairs at "a
500, 900 year. That is really what Is
supposed to covered by the terms OPP
GRAFTON and maintenance" Then he
adds sl1 100000 for interest on the
capital invested and sl5,0000OO for
military defense Of the canal by the
army and navy.
But the interest on the cost OF the
canal II paid, must come from whal
in all corporate accounting Is to lie
classed as net earnings. No one ex'
poets to see the canal yield amy net
earnings at the start. and none with
any knowledge of the question to live
until II pays all the interest. The fig
ure OF si,50OO0o for operation and re-
pairs seems liberal. At an average
toll OF sl.b0 per ton It would require
100000 tons OF traffic to pay that
II We get million tons the lrst year
the prospect of an increase to s,OOO.-
900 in a few years would seem quite
good. After which any increase would
be net earnings for the partial pay
ment OF interest.

AMERICAN RIGHTS IN MEXICO


The somewhat tart reply of the
Mexican minister of foreign affairs,
Calero. to the note of Assistant Sec
rotary of State Wilson on the protec-
tlon OF American citizens and property
In Mexico will not create or encourage
sympathy in this country with the Ma
dero government. Citizens of the
United States should. of course, re-
frain from armed support of either
side In the struggle now going on in
Mexico. But those who imprudently
Join the forces of one of the contend
ing factions are entitled to treatment
In accordance with the rules of civil
lied warfare.
An American citizen was the vic
rotary Wilson stated. by one OF the
chief lieutenants of Orozco, the rebel
leader. He was taken prisoner while
lighting on the government side and,
though dressed in uniform, was shot.
1t has been reported that the govern
ment leaders would retaliate by muir
dering American citizens taken pris-
oners from the rebels. These facts
justified Secretary Wilson's warning
to both sides.
Calero's reply denies the RESPONSE
bility of the government for what hap
pens ''in regions remote from obedi-
ence to the legitimate authorities
OF course, the impossible is not to be
asked or expected. But the Mexican
government, If 1t wishes to be respect
ed as government, must abide by the
law of nations. The standards OF
Mexico are not higher than those OF
more powerful governments, but
neither are they lower. Impotence OF
a government, II 1t leads to anarchy,
justifies foreign Intervention.

Calvert Wants Sewerage.

Mr.. T. j. Fountain, senior member
of the Fountain-Shaw Company Of Dali
las, went before the city council at
its regular session Wednesday after
noon and discussed with the city
fathers an up-to-date sewer system.
The council entered into contract
with Mr.. Fountain, the result of which
is that the Fountain-Shaw Company
will make all necessary surveys and
estiamtes incident to the construction
of a sewer system for Calvert. After
this work is concluded report of the
cost of construction will be made to
the council, and bond issue election
will be ordered to give the people an
opportunity to determine whether or
not our little city shall keep apace
with the general progress of the times
by putting in a much needed sewer
system.
The advantages of such a system to
town are so apparents that further
comment is hardly necessary at this
time. Suffice it to say it is good
move and in the right direction

The mercantile rates for Bryan un-

mulgated, affecting policies written on
and after the 9th instant, and in most
every case there are charges on each
individual risk that can easily be elm
mated by slight correction of the
defect, or defects, charged for. such
as removal of an excessive amount OF
volatiles and Encouragement of gaso-
line lighting systems.
/ will take pleasure in furnishing
each insurer with an analysis Of their
rate showing just how same is arrived
at, and also at the very earliest posi-
BILE date will have an expert here who
will be able to show each one how
reductions in rates may be secured.
A request for this information, either
personally or by telephone, will be
given prompt and cheerful attention.
In nearly every case the installation
of a limited number of underwriters
approved fire extinguishers will mate
rally reduce the rate, so l have made
arrangements whereby these extin.
guishers can be obtained at wholesale
price. Respectfully,
