much dissatisfied attention in England as English ships will be the principal users of the canal, and the newspapers are quoting the first clause of the third article of the canal treaty be- tween the United States and Great Britain, as follows:
 The canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations observing the rules on terms of entire equality. 30 that there shall be no discrimination against any jects, in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise. Such conditions and charges of traffic shall be just and equitable.
 It is astonishing, in view of the fact that the canal is not in British terri tory, that the United States had to go England for permission to build it. and that before the permission could be obtained the United States government felt itself compelled to submit to the terms dictated by England.
 But recognizing that Great Britain is the mistress not only of tn seas, but apparently the dictating power over all lands in any hemisphere that lie between two seas, our government went on it's knees and signed a treaty England's right to die tate every condition concerning the canal.
 That~is all Of the matter. Great Britain allowed the United States to spend s50O,00O,OOO in the construction of the canal, and then we acknowl edge her right to boss it and dictate the terms upon which our own mer- chant and war ships may use it.
 Truly, we need an arbitration trea- ty. so that we may also get some use cut of the canal under the astonishing submission we make to the foreign mistress of the seas. New orleans Picayune.

WHO WILL BOSS.

President Taft in his message on December 21st to congress. in treating the subject of tolls to be levied on ships passing through the Panama canal. said:
 'I 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. We have the right to charge tolls for its use. Those tolls when we are dealing with our own ships the practice of many govern rnents of substituting their own mer- chant vessels is so well established in tolls, an equivalent remission of tolls, cannot be held to be a. discrimination in the use of the canal. The practice The experiment in tolls to be made by the president would doubtless disclose how great a burden of tolls the coast wise trade between the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts could bear without preventing its usefulness in competi- roads One of the chief reasons for building the canal was to set up this competition and to bring the two shores closer together as a practical trade problem"

ARE YOU EDUCATED?
Could You Answer the Twenty Cues
 tons Used as Test?

Not long ago a lecturer at the University club of Chicago handed out 100 typewriter sheets to as many in the audience. says the New York American. These papers contained 20 questions, and the lecturer explained that if any gentleman present would answer correctly One-half of these questions he might consider himself an educated person. Otherwise he had better go back and take a post graduate course for fear that his col lege degree might receive the recall.
 So here are the questions. Just test yourself on them:
 l. Name the vice president of the United States.
 2. Name the treasurer of the Uni ted States.
 3. Name the conductor of the New York Symphony orchestra.
 4. Name the leader of Tamman-' kall.
 Name your congressman.

 r.. Who was Mommsen?
 IS. Who is president of the Lake Shore railroad?
 19 What is the fourth city in size in the United States?
 %. What is a proposition?
 All of the gentlemen present were college graduates. Forty-one of them read the questions over and gave them up. The other 49 filled them out. Not one man answered all of the questions correctly and very few gave correct answers to half of them.
 Of course this does not prove that these men were incompetent It mere ly shows that a man may know a great many facts and yet be igno- rant on many simple propositions that the average high school sophomore can answer correctly.
 For the benefit of any one who may think that he is very ig- norant individual on account of his to answer all of those ques- tions let me say that education is more matter of qualities than the acquisition of facts.

AN OLD CITY.

In the days of VascO de Cana Por- tugal was the foremost maritime na- ton and her present possessions in the East such as Goa, in India, where the remains of St Francis Xavier. the Jesuit missionary are preserved and Macao, in China, are relics and re- minders Of that glorious period of POrtugars history CamOens resided for some time in Macao an a cave is tradition this great poet composed a large part of the Lusiad. But how are things changed, The other day on the occasion of the arrival of the British sOYereigns at Bombay Partu- gal could not be represented by a single vessel, though Goa is not so very far south of Bombay, and on the same coast. The fact was that the Portuguese government had ordered the gunboat Sado to proceed from Goa to Bombay. hut the commander of the SaSlo declined by cable to obey. This in itself seems a, sad lack of discipline, but perhaps the commander was right as the vessel is So unseaworthy that the short voyage of 25O miles would have imperiled the lives of all on board What would the illustrous singer of Portugals naval glories have said to that?
 old Goa in its palmy days was one Of the most magnificent cities in the orient, and was the capital of the Por- tuguese Oriental possessions. The churches were gorgeous with paint ings and carvings. Indeed, the church of St. Dominic contained masterpieces by the old Italian painters. and the churches of the Jesuits. the Augusti- nians and the cathedral were noble edifices. The chapel in the viceroy's palace itself a grand architectural monument, was a replica on a small scale of St. Peters at Rome. The pop ulation of the place was at least quarter of a million, but now it is barely 2O0O and the capital has been transferred to Panjim CNew Goa)- Mclean Herald.
