should they try now to block great
public enterprise which is no more of a

THE CANAL AND THE LAND.

An instructive illustration OF, the
slapdaSh and cOckSure manner III
which facts are perverted and counsel
Is darkencd by those who should eltileI
know better or hold their peace Is pro-
vidcd In the pretence which Is v0lubly
put forth that this country is abSolyel
from the neutrality and equality Stlpu-
lations Of the y-pauncefote treaty by
virtue Of the fact that since that III
strument was made the United states
has acquired permanent possession OF
the land through which the canal runs
ana the canal has thus become a
purely domestic waterway which we
are entitled to treat just rs we do our
rivers.
It is quite true that the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty was made some two years
before we secured possession Of the so
called Canal Zone by permanent lease
hold. Also it is indiSputable that in
the absence Of any obligations TO the
contrary we should have a far more
complete and absolute authority over a
canal in our own territory than over
one constructed under international
agreement in foreign territory TN
fortunately for the pretension which
we have cited, however. the treaty in
question has something pretty explicit
to say on that very point, to wit, in
Section ":
1t is agreed that no change of terri
torial sovereignty or. Of international
relations Of the country or countries
traversed by the before mentioued
canal shall affect the general principle
Of naturalization or the obligation of
The high contracting parties under the
present treaty.
Therefore the change Of sovereignty
from Colombia 10 Panama and the
permanent leasing Of the Canal Zone TO
the United States do not in the slight
est degree anuul or modify our obiiga-
tions or alter the international status
of the canal as expressed in the Hay
puIncCfOtp treaty

ON THE WRONG TRACK.

Governor Dix is sadly misdireCtlng
his energies In his efforts to qualify
for a denomination as q Progressive.
He says: IL have been told that a
Progressive is one who can turn a
deficit into a surplus ! think this
administration has done this"
Somebody has told him wrong. We
fear the somebody has given him this
recipe for PrOgressiveness with mali
cious intent, thinking to play upon the
Governors simplicity Of character and
land him in his innocence on the wrong
side Of the fence In all kindness,
therefore, we would warn him. 1t Is
well enough for him to say he is Pro-
Progressive. 1t Is as dangerous as it
proverbially is for rural justice OF
the peace TO give reasons for his de-
cision. He's pretty sure to get in
wrong, and that is the case with the
Governor.
A Progressive one who turns de1cit
into a surplus: Perish the thought !.
Such a person is at best reactionary,
bourgeois, materialist. He is a
potential "malefact0r Of great wealth"
He does not put the man above the
dollar. His notions of political econ
Omy are archaic even TO the pc!nt OF
being Victorian As a vote-getter
there is no health in him. Your real,
up-tO-date Progressive is above account
books and would be ashamed TO put
humanity into a balance against a tax
rate. He knows that it Is his duty TO
society to spend freely and faint not.
PrOgresslyenesS as now defined by the
only true judges Of progress means
raising the cost of living 10 the pro-
ducer and lowering 1t to the consumer.
II means adding ten dollars to the price
of a steer and taking ten cents off from
the price of beefsteak. Ii Is a new
name for giving forty acres and a mule
TO each citizen-only as no sefgovern-
ing citizen emancipated from bosses
wants forty acres and a mule, since 1t
takes work to get any good from them,
the present day equivalent is general
pension and free baths. Neither at Sea
Girt nor at oyster Bay is the symbol Of

and the impression has been conveyed to
the public that Herman Rosenthal was
member OF the order, and that New YORK
Lodge was represented at his funeral
Mr. Rosenthal was not member OF this
or any other lodge In the order, but on
several occasions enjoyed the privileges
Of the club through the courtesy of n
member. Our lodge numbers among its
members many OF the best that our citi-
zenship can boast Of, who naturally resent
the opprobrium which has been reflected
I'm the statements alluded 10.
The Order Of Elks is a very worthy
charitable organization, and New York
Lodge has a membership OF nearly thirty
five hundred. 1t supports a magnificent
home in 43d street, erected at an expense
OF over 100000, where every comfort and
luxury are afforded for members of the
order. At no time are the unfortunate
ones forgotten, and the lodge expends APP
proxmately $1,000 a month In taking care
OF It's INDECENT members and the widows
and orphan children OF deceased Elks.
You can do the order a great service IL
you will correct the impression, falsely
created. that Mr.. Rosenthal was an Elk.

PANAMA CANAL TOLLS
And Some Observations on the Effect
of British Ship Subsidies.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir The Chamber OF Commerce and all
other mercantile be dies at New York, as
OF all important American cities on the
Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, have for
malIy asked Congress to grant preference
to- American coastwise shipping in the
Panama Canal. They have given album
dant grounds for their request, and they
will be astonshed to see The Tribune
suggesting. az you do to-day, that We
should yield to the selfish British Cana
dian protest and give no exemption TO
our coastwIse ships-which would mean In
effect a sharp discrimination against the
American flag In this waterway built by
iour hundred millions of the money Of
the American people.
You urge that our coastwise ships are
exempt from foreign competition" This
is not true. No foreign ship can carry a
cargo of American merchandise from New
York 10 San Francisco or Puget Sound.
But a British or any other foreign ship
can touch at New York and load Amer
lean freight to DO discharged at British
Columbian port and distributed by rail-
10 any MtBltlIl btdtt. Ahio NihHhiN' oi-
ready begun, will immensely expand If
the policy which you urge against the re-
quest Of American merchants and the
recommendation OF President Taft Is
adopted by the American Congress.
The British government, In anticipation
Of the opening OF the canal has already
added $4,000 TO the subsidy Of the prin-
cipal British steamship company which
will run through the canal, delivering
British manufactured goods to our own
Pacific ports. as we'll as to the Pacific
ports Of South America. This Increased
subsidy will defray and more to these
British vessels all the tolls charged at
Panama Is The Tribune prepared to
maintain frankly-for that Is in practice
what your editorial means-that tolls shall
be paid only by American ships at Pan

MORE SUBWAY KICKERs.

The objections Of some William
street property owners to the building
of the new subway under that street
have a familiar sound A few years
ago the realty owners Of lower Broad
way were equally certain that the now
existing line would tumble all the sky
scrapers into the street Yet the sub
way was built and the skyscrapers
still stand.
True. William street is narrow. But
SO are most of the downtown streets,
and If that is a bar to construction the
hope OF ever relieving the crush Is
vain. If they are to be built at all.
the tracks must get from the City Hall
10 Brooklyn through narrow ways, and
while this may cause some incOnven-
fence to owners occupying vaults and
require careful snoring Of foundations,
experience in other places where build
ings have been undermined gives rea-
son to expect perfect safety in the ex-
ec,Ition of the work. The fear is ex-
pressed that the older buildings, whose
foundations do not go as deep as those
OF the skyscrapers, will suffer. But
the safeguarding Of those substruct-
ures IS comparatively easy. In fact,
they are apparently in no more danger
from n subway than they frequently
are from adjoining steel buildings
towering twenty or thirty stories, with
foundations running far below the old
time cellars. The owners of small
buildings in William street have not
, stopped their neighbors from digging

IMPROVING THE DICTAGRAPH

South Carolina is having its first eX-
periences with the dictagraph and
doesn't like them. The little instru-
ment which Detective Burns has made
famous may do its deadly work In at
lantic City, indianapolis or San Fran
cisco without having its truth-telling
capacity lmpeached even by those
whose strictly private and confidential
conversation il has recorded, TO their
amazement and undoing. But down In
South Carolina the situation Is differ
ent.
In that state, where whiskey Is sold
outside Charlcston--only In stable
packages, it appears that the dicta-
graph has been voted failure because
il neglects TO register with fidelity not
only what man says but also the eX-
act degree of responsibility attaching
at each stage Of his remarks to his as
