Canal Tolls.
Waterbury Republican,


 The controversy over the question of whether or not the United States has the right, under the provisions of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty between this country and Great Britain, to free ships of United States registry from the payment of tolls for the use of the Panama canal is approaching an acute stage in the senate.
 Senator James A. O'Gorman of New York and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts maintain that this country. which is building and pay ing for the canal, has the right to take such a course. Others deny that the treaty permits it, and Great Brit ain is making a strenuous protest against the idea.
 Senator O'Gornan alleged in a speech in the senate, last week. that railroad interests are responsible for the agitation against free tolls for American ships, statement that agrees with an assertion made to President Taft and Secretary of State Knox earlier in the day at the White House by Representative tKnowland of California The agitation was be- gun by Canadian railroads, MT. Know lands said, and the latter were insti- gated by American railroad interests The Canadian railroads, he claims, in- duced Great Britain to protest against the plan.
 Whatever the Fconstruction of the treaty may be. if leaves the genera public wondering at the lack of wisdom shown by the United States govern ment in approving a document that signed away, or may be interpreted as signing away. the right of this coun- try to allow the ships of it's own mer- chant marine to use canal which il had the initia tive to begin and which is being built entirely at our expense without paying tolls. It also lessens the wonder why some of the Irish American and other societies raised such a rumpus against adopting that treaty, although they never offered this as an example.
 There was the same question as tC whether, according to the treaty, we had the right. to construct defenses al

nominated him for cardinal. In 1896 Archbishop Gibbons was invested with the princely insignia at Rome, and upon his return to Baltimore was given a tremendous popular ovation in which the people of all religious beliefs took part.
 Catholics throughout the world hailed the elevation of James Gib- bons to the cardina4ate as one of the master strokes of that great pontiff, Leo XIII. It proved the democracy of the church when a poor Irish lad could aspire to the greatest honor Tn the American church. Cardinal Gib- bons represented the spirit of en- frightened democracy, the spirit that had made his native Maryland, found ed as a Catholic colony, the home of religious freedom and refuge for the victims of. bigots. A prince of the church, he is not proud; a leader leader in American democracy, al- ways willing to join in the duties of citizenship with people of all faiths
 A man of many qualities, Cardinal Gibbons is perhaps greatest as a dip 1omat. Embarrassing problems of church and state have been handled in a manner showing a thorough knowledge of conditions in the United States. No situation has ever baffled his ingenuity and energy.

His father, Thomas Gibbons, had died and the ambitious youngster had difficult time of it in making both ends meet. With de- termination and good health he suc- ceeded, and was able to attend St. Charles College at Ellicott City, Md. and later St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore. At the age of twenty seven he was ordained a priest, and for over half a century has been loyal and able servant of the church.
 His rise in the church was rapid, and in 1869 he was .consecrated as bishop of Adramytum in partibus in
 fidelium and vicar apostolic of North Carolina. Forty years ago he became bishop of Richmond. Va, and in 1877 he returned to his native city as bish. op coadjutor of Baltimore With the he visited Rome in 1883, as one of the American prelates appointed to outline the work for the third plenary council his great ability attracted the attention of Pope Leo KILL, who

THE PANAMA CANAL


 The present contention, in regard to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty which was negotiated in 1903 during the president of Mckinley to supersede the Clayton -Bulwer treaty calls for such aggressive treatment as the country gave the refusal of the United proffer by the United States of Amer ica of $16, 900, GOO for coast privileges.
 President Roosevelt was determin ed that the canal should be construct ed notwithstanding the refusal of the sovereign power in control of the ter ritory through which it was to pass to ,acquiese in the project. It was a military and commercial necessity for the United States and president deter mined that no international consid eratlon either of courtesy or law should stand in the way. A revolu tion was continued and before the legislators at Bogota knew that the revolution on the Ist1amus existed the revolutionary government was recog- nized by the United States of Ameri- ca.
 It was charged at the time that America would not dare to affront any first class power in the way Colombia was affronted and it re- mains to be shown whether America is bully or has the courage of it's necessities.
 With $50O,O0O,OOO of American money invested in the canal it is to- for military and commercial reasons than it was when our necessities justified a, disregard of 1nterna tional law.
 The canal passes through Ameri- can territory. is fortified by American guns and American soldiers and it is inconceivable to think, that at time when the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty was advocated through out the United States, this this nation should have entered into a treaty which bound the nation to consider every nation of the earth as equal to itself when the obstacle sought to be avoided by the abrogation of the Clayton-B -Bulwer treaty. was the equal ity of England alone in the canal rights. We did not abrogate that treaty to negotiate a worse one \ If the diplomacy of John Hay, the then secretary of state was as lament able as his much advertised and lauded security of the territorial i'm tegrity of China which has since been proven an international joke, and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts is correct in his prophecy that the served in this treaty would not sur vive an all judication by the Hague tribunal, then must this nation act as courageously in dealing with a first class power like Great Britain as it did in dealing with a fourth class power like Colombi
 Who can say that the trans-con- tinental railroads represented by Sen- ator Root did not have a hand in framing the Hay-Pauncefote treaty which the senator now claims pro- hibits the sovereignty of this nation from enjoying the low water freight rates which we have been encouraged by a Republican administration to look forward to by eight years past.
