The Toll Question.

to learn that when the United
States charges the vessels Of commerce
OF other nations, and prevents the free
passage Of certain vessels of commerce of
lis own il is not keeping the canal open
to all nations on terms of entire equality.
Here is the provision in the HAY
Pauncefote treaty which President Viii

the United States to repeal the tolls ex-
emption clause in the Panama Canal
Act:

thus sizes up the Congressional situation
concerning the next November elections:
In the Congressional elections next
November, the political parties will for
the first time since the Presidential
struggle Of 1912, measure their strength
in great pitched battle on a national
scale. We use the word Congressional
in its broadcast sense 1t relates not only
to the election of the. four hundred and
thirty-fve Representatives in Congress.
from that number of Congressional Dis
trlcts throughout the United States, but
it means the election of thrty-two
United States Senators, that is, one third
OF the Senate.
Democratic Senators whose terms ex-
pire in 1915, are Senators Stone of Mis-
souri,, Hoke Smith of Georgia. Shively,
OF Indiana, Chamberlain Of Oregon,
Overman Of North Carolina. Gore cl

Republican Senator's whose terms end
next year, there are Root OF New York
Gallinaer of New Hampshire, Cummins

Bradley Of Kentucky, Gronna of North
Dakota, Burton Of Ohio. Penrose Of
Pennsylvania Crawford OF South Da-
kota, Dillingham; of Vermont. Stephen
son of Wisconsin, Jones of Washington,
and Smoot of Utah.
The Senators who are to be elected
this year, will be chosen under the Sew
enteenth Amendment OF the Constitu-
ton, providing for the election of the
United States Senators by the direct vote
of the people.
The House OF Representatives of the
present Congress Is composed of POO
Democrats, I27 Republicans, and IS
Progressives. The Senate consists of
81 Democrats and As Republicans. The
Republican party will in the election next
November and the campaign preceding
it, uuqueshonably make desperate ef
fort TO transfer the voting preponderance
in both Houses of Congress, to the Re-
publican side of the enclosure. The Re
publicans are fighting in the last ditch.
They are in a position where they have
but very little to lose. The very despair
OF the adversary is one OF the strongest
of reasons why Democrats in every Con-
gressional District and IN every State

should be on the alert, and unsparlng of

South American Mediation.

No one wants war with Mexico and
any proposition that holds out the hope
Of an honorable and satisfactory adjust
ment Of our difficulties should be wei
coined.
The Presidents peculiar policy has
greatly mudded the situation. There is
fighting and bloodshed American forces
are being concentrated against Mexico
and yet it IS a debated question whether
we are at war or peace with that country
1t is an intolerable condition and if the
friendly Offices of the governments Of Ar
gentina, Brazil and Chile can bring about
better understanding between this
country and Mexico, and secuIe protec-
ton for the lives and property of Ameri-
cans in that country, it should be hear
tiy welcomed.
To be effectual, however, it must not
be directly solely to Huerta. Our gov
ernments acceptance of the offer of me-
dlation expresses the hope that the South
American ENJOYS may find those who
speak for the several elements OF the
Mexican people willing and ready TO dis
Cuss terms of satisfactory and perma-
nent settlement. It is these several ele-
ments headed by Villa, Carranza, Zapata
and the less important leaders who have
disturbed the peace in Mexico and COM
mitted outrages on Americans and for
eigners there far in excess of anything
done by Huerta. We can nave no salts
factory or lasting peace with Mexico that
does not bring into subordnation these
various bandit cheftains and compel
them to quit troubling the laud.-Phila-

Risks of the Road.

Actuaries OF accident insurance COM
panies find that the man who drives a
racing automobile in the speedway con-
death and injury. He must be charged
$3.50 for $4,000 policy covering per
iod in which he is engaged not more
than "a hours practice speeding or act

The figures are very suggestive to
sane and law abiding automobiles. who
are subjected 10 the risk OF life and limb,
because of the efforts Of few speed
maniacs to emulate upon the public roads
the feats of the drivers of racing cars
upon the courses especially adapted to
fast driving.
The normal risk in motoring is
to say, the risk encountered where the
traffic conditions are normal-is less than
the risk involved in farm labor, where
farm animals and tools and machinery
are handled.
The accident underwriters, we believe,
rate automobile owners according to
their vocation. A business or PROBES
sional man who would get the lowest
premium rate if he did not drive an au-
tomoblle gets that rate regardless of his
ownership of an automobile. That is a
right rating. because other than the anto-
mobilists, are run down and MANNED and
killed by the speedster. But there is
a considerable loss to accident insurance
companies that is due directly to the VIC.
lations of reasonable speed regulations.

Trained Diplomats Needed.

It would be wide Of the mark to charge
the Canal case solely TO artless diplo-
macy But it is apparent that the rela-
tons of the United States with some Of
lis neighbOrs are handicapped bv lack Of
the diplomatic habit, into which Great
Britain long ago grew because it gave no
thought to democratic rotation with It's
unacceptable consequence Of unframed
men in service. Rear Admiral Vain
wright, speaking the other day to the
American Academy of Political and So.
cial Science, said that oriental misunder-
standing of the United States was largely

The 'shrewd Yankee is entitled TO
preen himself on his shrewdness. But it
IS too much 10 assume that native Amer
lean ability, no matter how superbly
trained in general scholarship, can al
ways cope in the diplomatic arena with
the subtle specialization of men who have

War the Paralyzer.

Some idea of how tremendously serious
thing really great European war
would be may be derived from the per
turbatiOn OF the French General staff
over what appears to be a brand new dis
Covery. These military experts have been
trying for a long time to foresee what
would happen in case France and some
powerful neighbor went to war. but hith-
erto their Investigations and prognostica-
tons have concerned chiefly the probably
course and results Of the military and
naval operations which would be under
taken. Now they have turned their at
tentOn to an effort TO foresee what would
happen in France itself while these oper-
atoms were being conducted; and they
have come to the conclusion that, in case
of war, the CITY OF Paris would be in a
starving condition four DAYS after the
army had been modified Mobilization
would mean that practically the entire
population OF the country would cease
immediately all their ordinary activities
and devote themselves wholly to military
work; and this, in turn, would mean that
the influx Of supplies into Paris would
cease absolutely and that city be reduced
IN few hours to a state OF famine.
If this were true Of Paris, it would be
true also of the other great cities OF
France; and to some degree it would be
true also of the great cities Of the country
with which France was at war 1t is said
that in none Of the large continental
cities IS there stored a sufficient supply OF
food to render that city Independent for
any length Of time Of the sources from
which its supply Of food IS derived -

on reading the article found this column
open only for discussion TO the

ganlzailon IN this county. In my opinion
TO place this column only at the disposal
OF members of the official organiza-
ton OF the Democratic party for Fred
erlck county would be a serious mistake.
1t is certainly not always essential to be
a member of the organization to he a
good Democrat or does it follow that
good advice or suggestions can not come
from the rank and file of the Demo.

ocrats, we need their help and advice,
especially as an entire new registration
this year will mean much work, and that

Straus announced recently that he was
a candidate for United States Senator
against John Walter Smith. Thus far he
is the only one to oppose Senator Smith
for the nomination on the Democratic
Senatorial ticket Mr. Straus has
already formed a nucleus in the labor
organizations and railroad btotherhoods,
which have strongly endorsed him. He
has also received pledges from several
thousand Democrats in various parts of
the State who have gone on record in
their advocacy Of his candidacy.
Early IN May, Mr. Straus will begin a
State wide campaign on the hustngs.
He will speak at an open-air meeting in
Cumberland on the evening OF May 4th,
and will spend several weeks ia other

labor vote is especially strong. For
some weeks he has been addressing or
gained bodies of labor in Baltimore
