THE CANAL TOLLS REPEAL BILL
IN House

The passage Of the canal tolls re-
peal bill by the house is impressive
on several accounts, apart from the
inherent merit of the measure. 1t
gives the shipping trust a right sturdy
wallop. 1t supports the president in
a fight that has great moral aspects.
1t shows that the house cannot be
swept off its feet by jingoism. 1t
demonstrates that the Hearst-C Clark
political partnership is a futility. 1t
proves that the great democratic ma
jority is behind Wilson. 1t defeats
pOliuco-financial conspiracy Matched
long ago. 1t rescueS the democratic
party from a trap into which it was
led at Baltimore. 1t once more makes
clear that congress will not bestoW
and the country will not tolerate in
any form subsidies for the behoof of
the trust-run shipping interests. on
the merits of the repeal bill in its
narrower consideration there has
been little division of sentiment in
the country. The strength of the re-
peal vote in the house clearly reflects
the opinions of the country. But the
battle is not yet won. The political
and business interests that organized
and led the fight in the house have
now transferred their activities to the
senate. There is little reason to
doubt that President Wilson'S hands
will be sustained in that body de-
spite the tremendous pressure the
shipping trust and its allies will
bring to bear. The victory in the
house is made the more notable and
impressive by the antagonism Of the
repeal measure by lemocracy's high
priests and prophets Speaker Champ
Clark and Floor Leader Oscar w
Underwood. Save for a handful.
these led a mixed host Of standpat
survivors and misguided progressives.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE SENT
ENCE LAW.

Governor Ralston has taken a pO-
sition for the repeal of the indeter-
inmate sentence law in Indiana, con-
tending that juries should be required
TO definitely fix the sentence on con-
viction of crime of which they have
been given full details in the trial
Doubtless the governor has been in
spired in his action by the undue ad-
vantage that is taken of the law.
which was adopted as a refOrmative
measure designed to be helpful in in
ducing exemplary conduct upon the
part Of the prisoner by holding out
10 him the possibility of a shortened
sentence for good behavior. The re-
suit has been an unending flood Of
appeals for release, almost every in
dividual case taking advantage of the
earliest opportunity TO seek clemency,

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

his plea often seconded by court Of
ficials and by the jurors who sent
enced him. The fault lies, no doubt,
chiefly in the fact that these men are
unable or unwilling TO refuse the
pleadings of the friends of prisoners,
and join in multiplying the perplex-
tiles of the pardon board rather than
being governed by their own sense of
justice as it applies to the cases.

AVOID PETvTIFOGGING POLITICS.
The house of representatives has
voted upon the Panama canal tolls
bill. 1t has gone on record TO repeal
the clause exempting American coast
wise ships from paying tolls. 1t has
also voted TO keep our treaty with
Great Britain and has arrayed itself
by a decisive majority with President
Wilson. -
Deeply it is to be regretted that the
republican party did not stand more
solidly behind the president. This is
not a question of party politics 1t
is a question, first. of national honor
and, second, of national expediency
in its broadest and most patriotic
sense.
The question now goes to the sen
ate. What will the republicans in the
ington dispatches printed yesterday

on as certain to vote for repeal. These
are Senators Root, Lodge, McCum Der

broad enough, patriotic enough to
vote with the president on this ques-
ton?
1t is quite true that those "jingoes"
who always want war, and especially
want war with Great Britain, are try
ing to create a Juror among the
thOughtless and the unheeding, but
we sOlemnly warn the republicans in
the senate that there is no political
| advantage 10 be obtained by going
| with the 'jingoes."
On the other hand, every considera-
| ton of patriotism, national honor and
| good politics should convince them
before the final vote is taken in the
| senate that he who serves his coun-
| try best serves his party best We do
not agree with our Washington cor
| respondent. We believe that many
more than four republicans in the
senate will give their votes 10 the
