he must give up his place, ana since
Mr.. Diaz declined to do so he now sets
about with force and arms making the
recall physically effective. 1t may he
objected that this is not recall through
popular mandate. but merely at lnui-
vidual instance. But who can say tnat
Mr.. Mena is not the exponent OF the
desires of the people. and that any one
who disputes his authority to speak
for the whole Progressive party or
Nicaragua is not q thief and liar:
The fact is that most Of tue dis
turbances which have brought discredlt
and loss upon the Central American
states have arisen from attempts to en-
force the principle of the recall. Some
times this is done by a single man, who
throws his hat into the ring as the only
one who is able to do the needed work.
Sometimes it Is done by more or less
spontaneous and widespread uprising
OF the people. The principle Is the
same and the results are much the
same in both cases. Each new recall
IS an incentive 20 another, at brieier
interval and on more frivolous grounds
until the tenure Of administrations De-
comes as uncertain as that or Erench
cabinets in the days before Waldeck'
Rousseau. And the world looks with
amazement and reprobation upon
specacle which is regarded as DEM
onstration Of unfitness for self-govern'
ment.
Yet here the hottest champions or
unlimited self-government favor the
adoption of that system. 1t does not
seem to occur to them that the very
evils which they deplore in other lands
would be invited here, In perhaps
different guise but with scarcely less
serious effects. 1t is quite easy to per-
ceive the mote in the Nicaraguan eye.
The people there ought to exercise
more circumspection In their election
of a President. and thus get one who
will give more satisfactory service
and if now and then they are mistaken
in q man and be turns out badly, they
should grin and bear IT, until his
term expires, and be thus taught to be
still more careful next time. II is
easy TO read such sermon to the MIC
araguans, with JUNCTION. But TO read
II TO ourselves, there's the rub! Yet
who shall say that it Is not as peril
nent here as there?

N. & w. OFFICE TO STAY.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: An item has been going the rounds
OF the newspapers to the effect that the
Norfolk & Western will abolish its New
York Office about September /.
This most propOsterous suppositlon
doubtless springs from the fact that the
recent death OF Mr.. Henry Fink, chair
man OF the board OF directors, will result
in the REIMBURSEMENT by the company OF
the Office quarters held by him in the
Lords Court building.
This will I'm no wise affect the traffic
Offices In New York City. They are a
permanent necessity. The passenger and
ticket office has recently been moved up
town to No. 1915 Broadway. near 3lst
street. and the freight remains downtown
al No. 29o Broadway, corner OF Reade
street.
VIII you kindly aid us In correcting
the very misleading report which so many
OF the newspapers have given currency
TO I'm their news columns?

AMENDMENT OR VETO.

II has been somewhat conndehlI!
asserted that the President would sign
the Panama Canal bill substantially

vision for the exemption of American
shipping from the tolls which are 10
he charged to the shipping or all other
nations. This must surely be an error
arising from forgetfulness OF the
Presidents explicit declarations on
that subject or from q strange MS
conception Of his attitude in respect
Of the solemn faith Of the nation. II
therefore seems desirable TO recall
what the President said on this very
subject in his message TO Congress on
December q last, We quote from me
text;
am very confident that the United
states has the power TO relieve from
the payment Of tolls any part of our
shipping that Congress deems wise.
we own the canal. 1t was our money
that built it. We have the right 10
charge tolls for its use. Those toils
must be the same to every one; out
when we are dealing with our own
ships tie practice Of many governments
% substituting their own merchant YES,
sells is so we'll established in general
that subsidy equal to the tolls, an
equivalent remission Of tolls, cannot De
held TO be a discrimination in the use
of the canal The practice in the Suez
Canal makes this clear.
Having thus specifically declared
that. as the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
Enthusiastically and indisputably pro
vides. the tolls must be the same to
every one" it seems impossible that
The President should now approve
hill which Numerically contradictS
that principle by releasing our ship
pinC of all classes from all tolls While
charging tolls against the shipping Of
all other countries. It is, of course,
still within the power of Congress to
amend the bill by eliminating that
withdrawing section. 1t is earnestly
10 be hoped that wise and honorable
counsels will prevail to that end. But
if. unbappily. they do not il is not too
much to say that the American nation
will look confidently to the President,
ON the ground Of consistency with his
own wise utterances as well as of
loyalty to the treaty obligations and
GOOD faith Of the government, to in
terpOSe his veto.
Ii may be added that this feature of
the bill. though by far the worst, IS
not by any means the only one which
calls for criticism and suggests the
need of radical amendment The
crude prescription Of all railroad
owned ships from any use whatever
of the canal, while 1t may conceivably
nave a laudable aim, is so ill-advised
IN its means as greatly to strengthen
the impression that the bill is hasty
and almost needless makeshift, com
piled in a hurry to perform task
which should have been undertaken
long ago and worked out with pains
taking deliberation. 1t strengthens.
too, the wisdom OF the Presidents
recommendation of last week. that
only the necessary and practically
non contentious items of canal legisla-
ton should be acted upon at once, the
uncertain, involved and contentious
matters being RENTED to more ma
ture consideration and disposal at 8
future date.

. A careful canvass of the butcher
shops of the city made today showed
that all proprietors were we'll pleas

ed recently.
Butchers today asked housewives
living in all parts of the city what
they thought of the rule. The concen-

the closing of the shops on Sunday.
Housewives told the butchers that
they were willing to cooperate with
them on the Sunday closing PROPOSE

principle that the butchers are emit

The rumor, which butchers say

PUPILS Want A
SHORTER PROGRAM
Petition School Board to
Shorten Hours of Glasses
at High School.

Because the many students Of the
high school believe they can do jus
tice to their school work in a shorter
space of time than from $3.50 a. m.
until 3:15 p. m. and 4 p. m. petition
for shorter hours was circulated today
by the students. and will be present
ed to thu school board at its next
session.
Students say many boys and girls
are unable to attend the sessions OF
high school because they are forced
to help sustain themselves The lead
ers in the movement said that many
of the mothers who have daughters
in the school need their help at home
and would be glad IL the school board
shortened the hours.
Nhe proposed change is to have the
school take up at a. m and continue
without interruption until all classes
have been heard. This would close
school at 1890. II the board does not
pills will ask that a lunch be served
in the school and that the dinner hour
be shortened from an hour and a half
to a half hour. sfhe latter plan is being
carried out in Dayton, Indianapolis.

Middle West.
Many of the teachers have been in
terviewed by the students about the
proposed change, and all who were
seen approved the change. Neither a
teacher nor a student has been met

two of the companies poles were on
his property and that if they were not
removed he would cut them down
City Engineer Charles was ordered to
investigate.
Park Fund Exhausted.
City Clerk Bescher told the board
that council must make an appropria-
ton for the public parks. The ex-
pense of cleaning the lake at Glen Mil
Ter Is one reason why the appropria-
ton is necessary.
AS a result of the many complaints
sent in from the neighborhood of Lib
street, Mayor Zimmerman ordered
Street Commissioner Gem to have
the crossing cleaned at once.
The board promised the committee
in charge of the charity ball to be held
at the Coliseum December that the
municipal plant would furnish the
light free.
Bids to re-roof the old hose house
at South Sixth and E streets were re-
ceived from Peter johnson and
Schultz and Laning. The contract was
not awarded pending a closer inspec-
ton of the present roof 1t will be nee
essary to tear down the roof and build
a new one. The board will investigate
the advisability of having the roof re-
moved by an employe of the city.
To Sell Lots.
Levi Peacock reported that he had
seven lots which he would like to
have the city purchase and add to the
West Side park on Northwest Sew
enth street.
The board favored the purchase of
the lots provided they are not valued
too high. One of the city officials said
they were worth approximately $50
per lit.
The five per cent reserves amount
ing to s51.31 on the Washington ave
nue. sidewalk improvement and the
cement alley between Twelfth and
Thirteenth street from A to B streets
were ordered returned to the con-
tractors.
The assessment role for bricking
Main street from the bridge to West
Fifth street was confirmed by the
board. Mayor Zimmerman reported
that all the residents on the west side
were satisfied with the street. The
cost to the property holders is $5,512-
20, to the city S4,240.
Fire Chief Miller reported that the
wood belonging to the city was being
stolen from the Doran bridge. He ap-
piled for portion Of the wood to
make repairs about the fire house.
City Controller McMahan reported
that it would not be advisable to con-
struct the sewer from South H to J.
street. He reported that the city
would run short of funds.

BOARD OF WORKS
HEARS AN APPEAL
Mrs. Swicker Says Extension
of Street Will Work a
Hardship on Family.

A pitiful appeal was heard by the
board Of works today from Mrs. Har-
mon Swicker of South J street. A
strip of ground $40 feet long belonging
to her husband who is sick in bed
was condemned by the city for the
opening of South Seventh street from
to l. street. For the property Swick-
er is to receive $500. Mrs. Swicker
said she was appearing before the
board because her husband was con-
fned to his bed.
1--WE were both orphans and we
have worked hard all our lives so
that we would have some place to live
during our old age and would not be
thrown on charity. My husband is now
seventy-four years old and I am sew
enty. He worked for our home and 1
took care of it. We have lived there
for thirty years and it will break our
hearts If We have to leave it. We are
left all alone in the world and If you
won't help us God may, for he is the
only one left to appeal to-"
The board promised to take up the
matter and adjust it so that it would
be satisfactory to her and the city. In
the opinion of the members of the
board of works Mrs. Swicker does
not understand that she is to be paid
we'll for her land.
Opposes More Lights.
Superintendent Johnson of the mu-
nicipal light plant appeared before
the board to oppose the placing of
more arc lights in the city. He said
that this would make the pull on the
light plant too heavy.
From now until March, as the
days grow longer" explained Mr.
Johnson, we will be strained to the
limit I want to give the people SER
vice and don't want to take on any
thing we cannot handle. In the last
ninety days we have installed TIA me-
tiers. which shows how we are increas-
ing business.
He also said that cluster lights
were not as popular as they have been.
They are being removed at Indiana
polls and many eastern cities. They
cost SO much for maintenance that
they are becoming unpopular.
Mr.. Johnson also reported that
Amos L. Wolfe a resident of West
Seventh street had been refused a dis
count on his light bill be cause he
did not pay before the tenth of the
month. Wolf became very much en-
ragged and reported to Johnson that
