America and Great Britain.


From the Washington Star.
In his report on the free tolls ques-
ton, the Washington representa-
tive of the London Times, in describ-
ing the Influences operating against
repeal, refers to "the vague feeling
among the masses that Great Britain
has, after all, no right to dictate with
regard to the management of an
American owned, American-built
canal" If vague now, rapidly be-
coming definite and determined. And
that is very important and far
reaching factor in the equation.
AS The Star stated the other day,
until this tolls question was revived
the feeling in America toward Great
Britain was friendlier than had
existed at any time during the CEN
fury of peace between the two coun-
tries, Twisting the lions tall had be-
come almost a lost art. Recollections
of such performances had nearly
faded out.
Prestol The President reads his
tolls message, and all is changed.
Great Britain again becomes the most
prominent of targets. Hands from
every quarter are reaching for the
lions tail. The most vigorous twist
ings in half a century are In progress,
and threaten to continue for several
years. They will mark the coming
debate in the Senate, mark the con-
gressional campaigns of next fall,

Pensions on the Decrease.
n the BOSTON Herald

II AOll lut DoSLOn I1tIdtu
For many years the federal expen-
diture for pensions has been steadily
growing in spite of the deaths of the
veterans of war of half a century
ago. Pessimistic observers had be-
gun to doubt if that shrinkage would
not be offset by the increasing liber-
atty with which the survivors were
treated. But turn of the tide
has now come. This years pensions
appropriation bill, standing at $3.50, :
10000, represents q decline of nearly
10000 900 from that of last year. This
is accounted for by the death of 3D.
459 veterans.
But unless public sentiment is
watchful and the President resolute
in his control of the situation, new
devices will be found for again swell
ing the total. This very recession
may serve as a stimulus to the inven-
tors of new schemes. In particular,
the claims of the Spanish war vet
Grams are rapidly coming to the front.
The House has just passed a bill
which pensions their widows and chill
dren, regardless of whether the wild
owhood or dependence be due to the
military service of the husband or
father. This bill would apply to the
Spanish war veterans the same prin-
ciple that was adopted in reference
to Civil War veterans by the act of
1890. Our existing law pensions Span
ish war veterans in cases where de-
tendency grows out of the disabilities
incurred in the service.

Tired School Children.

From the Chicago Tribune.
While We Ia the United States are
adding to the length of our school
day and are planning other changes
in our school work to make 1t
SITTER" educators and physicians in
European countries are wrestling
with the problems of the tired child,
the child whose health the school I'M
pairs.
According to writer In The Popu-
lar Science Monthly school entrance
in most European countries is In
itself so severe an ordeal that it con-
stitutes q shock to the nervous sys-
tenn of the child severe enough to re-
tard growth. Measurements taken of
500 German children on entering
school and again two months later re-
vealed, according to this writer, that
20 per cent. of the children had lost
weight.
A Russian authority Is quoted cit
ing the havoc which severe examina-
tions play with the health of Russian
pupils The physical effects of ex-
aminations are comparable, he says
to a severe Illness. Among the more
advanced pupils a chronic morbidity
manifesEs itself, according ito an
other authority. The morbidity is
stronger among those students in the
classical courses than among those
studying subjects of a scientific
nature.
Overstudy clearly has elements Of
danger as great as understudy.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

cans carry the next House, or even
materially reduce the Democratic
strength there, the result will be
ascribed to what is now called the
Presidents surrender to Great Brit
ain, and the next presidential cam
paign be fought on that charge.
Deplore this as men may, and many
do, the fact remains. Old bitternesseS
are awakening. Old history is being
recited. Old cries are finding voice
again. 1.-THE spirit of '76" has not
done political duty before In years.
John Bull has never been drawn by
cartoonists with a more liberal girth
or browbeating countenance than now.
Before the excitement subsidies the
British will be again referred to as
"redcoats"-the description of colonial
days-and their American allies as
turncoats.
For this reason Representative
Knowlands compliment to Sir Ed
ward Grey seems premature, If not
unwarranted. Is the British foreign
minister the greatest diplomat of the
day? If he has outmaneuyered the
President on this tolls question, has
he not paid, is he not paying, too
dearly for his whistle? After sur
rendering the point of free tolls, as
he had virtually done, was it the
wise thing to revive it, and open the
way for q revival of American dis
trust and criticism of Great Britain,
and particularly at time when the
plans for celebrating the century Of
peace between the two countries are
In progress, and going forward to the
qualification of the two peoples?
