cism of the Telegram through half
a column of labored special pleading
excused by the grace with which he
pays Mr.. Mayes a high and un-
doubtedly sincere compliment and
we shall not be guilty Of the very
bad taste Of following his example
and denominating as "slobber" his
words OF praise Tor that gentleman.
Straub Is all right and his heart Is
sound. but his cynicism undertakes
the amenities Of life and he Is too
acidulous at times.

he was running away from a fifty
cent board bill, said afterwards
when Colonel R. E. Morse had
strangle hold on him that he
wouldn't have done 1t for q million
dollars. That's good as far as 1t
goes and doubtless he was sincere
in the statement. but there ought to
be no sentiment in the enforcement
of law and that bailiff ought to be
handled in a way that will make
him an example to the very many
others like him who imagine that
they have special privilege to COM
NIT murder because they are Officers.

UNFAIR TO GERMANY.
Herr Heinken Declares Exemption of
American Ships is Discriminating.

Berlin, May THE exemption Of
American vessels from the payment of
tolls thru the Panama canal is unjust
and places German shipping to a dis
advantage. according to Philip Helm
ken, managing director of the North
German Lloyd. who writes in the Taec-
blatt today. He expresses confidence,
however. that German shipping inter-
ests are sufficiently powerful and en-
terprjsing to maintain competition
even under these circumstances.
Herr Heinken hopes that under
President Wilson'S regime the measure
of discrimination will be revoked.
