THE BRITISH ANSWER,

The British rejoinder to Secretary
Knox g reply to the British protest or
Panama canal tolls is received Ii
goes over practically the same old
ground.
Secretary Knox. in replying to the
protest, stated that there was, in fact.
nothing at the present time for the
British to complain of; that the canal
was not open; there has been no dis
elimination IN tolls, and until some
thing tangible could be adduccd in sup.
port of the British protest. it was idle
to undertake any practical considera'
tion of it, The British reply seems
10 assume the certainty that the points
which it urges will arise, and therefore
that they ought to be provided for in
advance; and it makes the definite
proposition for arbitration of the
points of difference assumed to exist
between Great Britain and the United
States on this Panama canal question.
But the forecasts Of what might hap
pen are, as Secretary Knox says, too
uncertain a foundation upon which to
come to an agreement as to any pro-
cedure with respect to them at this
time, Let us first find out how the
matter works before undertaking to
determine that 1T will necessarily work
in any predetermined manner to the
disadvantage of any nation or people.
In the meantime, it appears to be
foreshadowed that Congress will re-
peal that portion of the law passed
last year which exempts the American
coastwise shipping from the payment
of tolls at the Panama canal Presi-
dent Wilson is quoted distinctly as in
favor of such repeal, and if he makes
a party question of it and insists, as
he is liable to do that he does not
want to be bothered in the beginning
of his administration by questions of
this kind, and that it is better to re-
peal than to argue, it may be consid"
cred likely that the Democratic party,
having control both of the Senate and
of the House, may accede to his wishes
in this respect. And so, pending the
decision of the Democratic leaders. it
is probably just as well to do as Sec
'etary Knox is reported as determined
10 do, let the whole matter go over to

Of weakness In our business and finan'
cial situation,
PROGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

Some three years ago. when the
term OF Senator Flint OF California
was about to expire, and he was asked
if he intended to be candidate for
reelection, he said "No," that since
California had adopted the primary
system OF nominations he was not rich
enough to be candidate for tho OF
flee; that he WINS not able to maintain
his own personal campaign committees
in all the legislative districts OF the
State, and therefore could not keep up
his personal organizations; but with
out this, it was useless to be candi-
date.
Senator Flint in this clearly fore
shadowed what the practical opera
tions Of the primary system have de-
veloped. No one, except one who Is
volubly prominent before the people
at all times or who is immensely
wealthy stands any chance of political
preferment under the new system. This
has been exemplified in the case OF
Senator Stephenson Of Wisconsin, and
in other cases.
Illustrating the point, the Boston
pnpors report that campaign fund OF
100000 has already been raised for
the Progressive committee in Massa
chnsetts, for next Fall 3 election. 1t
is stated that "thus is O new mark to
be set on the material side Of our
politics." and it is further truly
stated that "if the Republicans were
perfecting financial plans OF this mag
