THE CANAL TOLLS.

Let US trust that the report Of the House
Interstate Commerce Committee providing a
method for the fixing of Panama Canal toll
marks a hope of action by Congress on mat
ter that has been mysteriously delayed
What the Panama tolls shall be is of second
airy importance. The thing is that they should
be announced without further delay World
commerce hangs on this decision. Vast build
ing operations depend on 1t. Enterprise halts
tunty. because it does not know just what the
opportunity involves. With incredible lack of
foresight Congress has all but PERMITTED the
Canal to be opened without word to shipping
as to the terms which 1t will be permitted
to go through it.
Although there is at last promise of def
mite canal policy, the moot question of ship
subsidy is still held over the head of commerce.
While the committee undertook action on
this question, 1t left it to be assumed that a
subsequent bill would provide that tolls paid
by American ships would be RENTED. That,
too. should be speedily determined although
the prohibition of railway owned or controlled
vessels should go far towards making a sub
sdy unnecessary. With competition maintained
II is hardly possible to declare that there
will not be a great extension of the American
coastwise trade When it comes to other classes
of shipping it will remain to be decided
whether preferential tolls are necessary to re-
vive the American ship industry. But, much
as the American people would dislike to see
subsidy inaugurated. We believe that the
sidy before an indirect policy attaining the
same result, especially when such action would
immediately cast doubt upon the good faith
with which the Panama Canal treaty was enter
ed into.

THINGS THAT COME BACK.

No one could help admiring the spirit ami
mating the group Of workers for a coordinate
woman's college at the University of Virginia,
as shown when in the last hours of the Legis-
lature it was called up by its patron and put
before the House. only to be dismissed at his
request.
The bill had been killed days before In the
Senate. where its advocates had elected TO
make their fight The suspension of the rules
and its calling up in the House therefore
meant nothing more than to show the strength
which the measure had. and to give the notice
that defeat at this time already found the
friends of the bill preparing for its introduc-
ton two years hence.
number Of things which the present
General Assembly saw fit to kill were thereby
made certain of future enactment. These are
the measures that will come back In fact.

"outpointed' for the while. The people behind

The sentiment that will ultimately force real
tax reform Is not remotely discouraged because
of temporary failure of present hopes. There
will yet be primary bill which will meet the
wishes of the people, soon as they make
politicians realize that this is one thing in which
the playing of politics will not be excused. Like
wise. the time is coming when the State will
grant its women educational advantages equal
with men. and in doing so grant them the pri-
vieges of the University OF Virginia in ac-
cordance with the spirit in which 1t was dedi-
Gated to the whole people The undaunted
manner in which this bill took leave OF the

SPEEDING Up AND SLOWING DO WV

A special Congressional committee has been
looking into the Taylor shop system" which
has been tried at two government arse
mails and shipyards. to the great discomfort of
the men In finding adversely to the system, the
committee holds it unfit for adoption by the
Government and says:
Because there are some loafers is reason
why the remainder of the workmen should he

II loafers aud active men are to he paid. with

Before these Congressional COMMITTEES are so
ready to denounce system which looks to In

With the same materials, identical designs. the

by the government, and at practically onc-har

All the show-girls are. presumably, young.
1t is a Jest more honored in the repetition than
the fact that this is violent assumption. AS
a matter OF fact. they are young; it is only
their wrinked faces. their piteously painted
smiles, their knotty legs and cruelty punished
toes that are "old.' The shop-girl has to be
young. Otherwise. she could not keep up the
pace. Her real interest lies in the speculation
as to what becomes of her after she gets out OF

yesteryear are obtrusive In comparison with
