THE BENEFIT A TRIUMPH

The benefit concert at the Tabernacle
on Tuesday evening for the relief OF
the Balkan sufferers was a great tribute
TO the energy, the industry, and the
humanitarian impulses OF Colonel James
A. Irons of the Twenty first Infantry,
through whose efforts mainly the con.
cert was organized and given, and the
excellent returns had. 1t is estimated
that the money returns available from
this concert for Balkan relief will
amount to about $1,000. 4 neat sum
indeed, and one that will undoubtedly
prove Of vast benefit to hundreds of
people who have been wronged and
robbed IN the merciless progress Of that
war.
Colonel Irons is entitled to the lion S
share OF the credit for this good work,
and it is to be observed also that the
concert itself was Of the first order,
high-class artistic work being present
ed all the time, so that those who put
up their twenty-five cents or fifty cents
heard concert that was really worth
three or four times the money.
And so everybody ought to be salts
fed; and doubtless the National Fed
Cross organization in America will also
be satisfied with the excellent returns
from this fine concert in Salt Lake.

THE BRITISH PROTEST

The expected British protest against
the Panama canal toll bill has been
received. No definite answer has yet
been decided upon by the Taft admin.
istration. but every indication is that
the protest will be ignored. and that
the United States will maintain its
| right to deal with its canal in its own
way There is absolutely no reason
why anything else should be considered
than the viii OF the American Congress
and people with respect to this matter.
We obtained complete ouittance from
our co obligations with Great Britain
with respect TO the Isthmian canal,
whether constructed at Panama or Mic.
aragus. We proceeded to build that
canal with our own money, and it is
impossible for the United States TO
consider that any other nation has any
thing TO say about how the canal shall
be managed or what the tolls shall he.
AS President Taft has clearly indi-
Gated, we have a perfect right TO free
our own vessels altogether from canal

gagged IN our coastwise trade, but our
oversee vessels: and it would no doubt
be loug step towards upbuilding our
merchant marine if we should decide
to exempt all American vessels from
Panama canal tolls
But we have not SO decided We
have simply decided 10 exempt our
coastwise shipping from those tolls; and
since that coastwisc shipping is not
subject TO foreign intrusion since nei-
thcr Great Britain or any other foreign
nation has anything whatever 10 do
with our coastwise shipping and has
no opportunity to compete in it. but
is expressly ruled out from all partici.
patton therein, it is indeed difficult TO
imagine on what basis Great Britain
fornulates any protest with regard to
it. Undoubtedly the suggestion that
the Canadian Pacific is at the bottom
OF the protest is the correct one. and
the reason why the Canadian Pacific
rs opposed 30 our coastwise ships pass
ing through the canal toll free is that
these coastwise vessels will thereby be
enabled to carry freights cheaper from
the east coast TO the west than they
would be able To do if they had 10 pay
tolls at the canal.
But the fling of 4 protest by Great
Britain. whether melted bv Canada

nence. Neither have we any reason

Cables were better than due for this market, but worse than due in New York, and the de- cline in the latter market that fol- lowed YVES reflected here. The weather map was again unfavorable and gave the market steady tone at the decline. Longs were inclined to take on cotton at the lowest prices. At the end of the first half hour prices were soil points down.
 Futures opened steady, January, H. roc; March, 1176@11.7Sc; May, H. 69c bid; July, 11S7c bid; August, II . 70@11E3o; September. 11.6S@H.7oc; October, 11.67; December, 11.69@11.70c
 The market acquired very good tone around the middle of the morn ing and the gossip of the floor was that large spot interests were heavy buyers of contracts. The dsmand more than absorbed offerings from both sides and finally put prices of the most active months to nc; ad- vance of 305 points. At this level prices were 11@16 points up from the lowest. Late in the morning longs were heavy profit takers and prices fell off again At noon the market was S@10 points under yesterdays close.
