undue attention TO his wife. He
sent the young fellow to the NOR

wife AT dance and the baby lying

American coastwise shipping was
exempted from toll payment by
Congress. 1t was to this provision
of the act that Great Britain diplo-
matically protested. but no refer
ence was made to the protest in the
Presidents proclamation. American
naval vessels are exempted without
specific mention either in the act
of Congress or the proclamation, be-
cause the authorities believed it I'M
necessary to explain the uselessness
of payment from its Navy Depart
ment pocket to one belonging to
the Treasury Department.
The rates named in the proclama-
ton are practically the same as
those which will be in force at the
Suez canal next year.
The President based his declar-
alton of rates upon the report and
investigation of Prof. E. X. John
son of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. an expert designated by ex-
ecutive order for the task. The
report has been awaited with in

out the world.
Taking the estimates of the ca
nal commission for expense of OPP
Grafton and maintenance of the
canal, and for the improvements
held to be necessary at the end Of
decade, Prof. johnson figures
| that the rate per net ton can be
reduced at the end of ten years to

says probably will correspond close

/ The Johnson report shows that
a foreign traffic of about million
tons may be expected through the
canal during the first two years OF
operation; a traffic OF more than
II million tons in 1920. and "A
million tons in 1925. Although

that this would make the ?anal self

Thanksgiving.

This day has a deep significance
this year. a grateful people OF state
and nation are thankful that the
shackles of political slavery are bro
ken and that at least n decided step
forward has been taken on the way
towards social and industrial just
ice. That the nation is enjoying I'M
usual prosperity and abundance Is
a fruitful cause for gratitude, and
all in all, there are many blessings
for which we may return humole
praise and Thanksgiving in this
year 1912.
1t is a trite saying, but never too
old to pc repeated, that there is al
ways bright side if We will only
make the effort 10 find 1t. one dit
ficulty with many of us is that We
make the wrong comparisons when
we estimate our positions; that We
place false values on the things OF
life. and crave many boons that
are but dead sea fruit after ALL
while we are blind to the treasures
of spiritual wealth near AT hand.
Much of the dissatisfaction with
conditions comes from the fact
that We are prone to compare our
POSITION with that of those
more favora bly, situated from the
worldly standpoint. forgetting the
many blessings that MAY be ours,
but that are not bought with a
price because they are more pre-
cious than fine rubies." If We but
look over the past year in this spir-
it, we shall find that it is sea-
son, indeed, for the returning ii
thanks.
