PANAMA CANAL TOLL.

The speech in the senate by such an able statesman as Elihu Root, senator from New York, in favor of submitting the question of tolls through the Panama canal to the International Arbitration Court, has caused a good deal of comment. This speech, however, was elo- quently answered by Senator O'Gor- man, also of New York, who ridi- cuIed the idea that the canal which we have built with out own efforts should in any wise be subjected to foreign control. Ninety-nine per cent of the American people fully agree with Senator O'Gorman that the canal, having been built by our labor and capital, is our own prop erty in fee simple, and we will have the right to let whatever ships we wish to pass through free, and to tax the others as we will provided that all foreign vessels are treated alike.

WHY NOT?

If the bill, promulgated and ap- proved by i9 of the 35 state sena- tors of Arkansas should be finally adopted, it would in effect prohibit a saloon in any county unless peti- tions for license are presented and approved by the county judge that bear the signatures of a majority of the adult white inhabitants of the county in question.
 Tn other words, the usual mode of procedure would be as follows:
 First-An election in which the legal voters shall decide for and against license.
 Second-If license carried, those favoring license would circulate pe- titions over the county. When these were ready they would be laid before the county judge for ap- proval or disapproyal. Estimating from three-mile contests this would occupy contestants, attorneys and court anywhere from six months to a year in a county like Polk.
 Third-If the petitioners were victorious a three-mile petition probably would be circulated, with the usual course of proceedings, the county judge finally having arbi- trary power to grant or refuse the license regardless of petitions.
 Now, in the name of common horse-sense, why not begin at the beginning and eliminate all this confusion, travail and nonsense?
 Pass an act allowing all adult inhabitants include black, yellow, red and white, and keep within the constitutional law-vote on license in the first instance.
 If not, then why not?

The Laborer and His Hire.

The Hon (?1 Joseph Weldon
 Bailey, the black swan of Gaines vile, Texas, sent in his resignation,
 sang his song, and, senatewlSe, stepped down and cut. Verify, the
 wheels are moving in the right senate direction. With Aldrich and
 Hale and Crane things of the to-
 gaed past, with 0'Gorman in the seat of Depew, with LOrimer cast into outer senate darkness, with
 Foraker forgotten, with McLaurin defeated. and Bailey no more than la mephitic memory, the senate Is beginning greatly to look up. True, there remain a Root, a Penrose, a Shoot and a Stephenson; but the sweep is in the right and white di- rectiOn.
 Because of the evil he has done and the black example he leaves behind him. it is well, by way of warning to those who will come after, that some notice be taken of what misdeeds led up to Mir. Bail ey's undoing and drove him into political exile at the age of 49. As with Mir FOraker, so with Mir. Bailey; 1t was but a seducing case of too much Archbold. too much Standard Oil. It was gold. Stand ard Oil gold. that did it. The un- aided Archbold could have made no real Bailey impression. Man for man, Mir. Bailey stood. mentally as physically, head and shoulders above Mir. Archbold. It was gold, Standard Oil goldl
 There existed-and exists-no question as to MT. Bailey's ability. He has force, resource, courage. Tall, commanding, clear of eye firm of jaw, Mr. Bailey, set side by side with Mir Archbold. over powered the latter little stub of evil-this little crooked thumb of Standard Oil for it's senatorial sub sidizing!-in every expression of manhood. In but that one golden respect of money did Mir. Archbold have the better of Mir Bailey.
 Mr. Bailey spent money like water. as men of fancy, appetite and imagination ever do; and since his needs were forever outrunning his resources, he was perenially hard up.' With the gold of Peru and the conscience of a shark, Mir Archbold was able. for the criminal purposes of Standard Oil, to take advantage of Mr. Bailey's money needs And so, one who might have been honOred was disgraced, white became black, and govern ment was debauched in its highest nlacns -Haarst,S Ma azina

MATCH TH0sE TURKs NOM.

While the Balkan allies and the Turks have been dallying over peace negotiations, the latter have succeeded in borrowing Sl0,000,000 After that it is no surprise to see the turning from peace to war, and that more bloodshed probably will begin February fl.
 The Turks are keeping up their reputation for being tricky, and in this case it is to be feared they have tricked the allies into a trap.
 Wars, by-the-way, would be few and far between if nations could not borrow money with which to carry them on.

It's a shame the way people are imposing on that Little Rock Cham Der of Commerce. The Rev. Robert Goldsmith, who undertook to pro- mote a Sunday afternoon chautau- qua in Little Rock, states he was given to understand that the C. of c. would give aid, but it did not. When asked about the matter the president of the c. of c. said he had no knowledge of such arrange ments, referred the question to the secretary, who could not be found. That talk sounds very familiar to the Corn Club boys of Arkansas who worked all last season in hopes of winning the trip to Washington, etc, that was advertised the Cham- Der of Commerce would give. But when the time to produce" came, no one knew about such promise. Someone ought to introduce a reso- lution of pity for that c. of C., but we fear it won't be approved by Robert Connalfy, the Polk county Corn Club boy, nor by the Rev. Rob- ert Goldsmith.

 By vote of l7 to g, or one more only than the required two-thlrds voie, the senate yesterday after noon adopted the Works resolution proposing to the states the fore going amendment to the constitu- ton for ratification. The resolu- ton must now go to the house, where a two-thirds vote will be necessary 10 adopt it in that body.
 After approval by the president the resolution will then enter upon the longest stage of its journey to- ward it's incorporation as a part of the organic law. The legislature of three-fOurths of the states must give their approval to the resolu- tion, and not until action by 36 states has been officially reported and certified to by the secretary of state. will the amendment become operative.
 The friends of the proposition be- lieve all this will have been com piled with before the expiration of the term of President Wilson. There has been little discussion of the subject in the states upon which anything like an accurate estimate of public opinion may be based.
 Rejected All Amendments.
 Just how the next house will re- ceive this proposed change in legis- lation cannot be foretold. The vote shows that it has been treated as political question by senators. Some of the most influential Republican senators favored it and in all prob ability the feeling in the senate that the time has come when some limi- tation must be put on possible am- bitions of men will move the house to adopt the resolution. Today, as on yesterday, the senate rejected every proposition looking toward a change in the wording of the amendment as reported from the committee.
