MURDOCH ASSAILS
STAND OF PANAMA
Tells House That Wilson Attitude
Spells Dishonor for the
Nation.

Washington. March 2l.-'National
dishonor" was how proposed repeal of
the Panama free tolls exemption was
denounced yesterday by Representative
Murdoch, leader of the Progressives in
timing his party's stand on the plan.
The Progressires in Congress are sub
stantially unit against the proposition
to repeal the tolls exemption clause;
both Democrats and Republicans are
hopelessly divided" said Murdoch. "a
little over one year ago all three parties
covenanted with the people to exempt
coastwise passage. Thirteen million
voters in 1912 charged the American
Congress to carry out their wishes in
this matter. 70 scorn that mandate of
the people now is to violate the prin-
ciple of representative government and
to surrender the sovereignty of the
American people.
There is no violation of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in the exemption
from tolls of our eoastwise shipping. The
Vaccinations of the transeontinental
railroads and their foreign allies, the
menace to our maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine make imperative our I'M
compromising adherence to American
principles in this crisis.
'|The terms of the treaty are with us.
We could not violate them and keep the
respect of other nations. If we misread
them against ourselves we cannot keep
our own respect.
If dollar diplomacy is to be succeeded
by foreign policy of peace at any
price, whereby our domestic affairs are
to wait upon the dictation of foreign
MINISTRIES. then the time has come for
u new declaration of independence.

Boston & Maine Wishes to
Raise Passenger Rates
on It's Lines
THE CORPORATION
NEEDS THE REVENUE
Asks Permission to Charge
21a Cents a Mile-Added
Revenue Over Million

Concord, N. H., March 20.-A uniform
passenger rate of two and half cents
a mile is planned for the Boston q
Maine railroad instead of the present
two-cent rate, according to Edgar J.
Rich, the roads general solicitor.
Speaking yesterday before the public
service commission in the matter of the
new maximum freight rates, Rich made
a prediction as to the railroads future
policy regarding passenger rates saying
that if the needed authorization could
he secured they would adopt the. rate
for the entire system with the excep-
ton of the Boston suburban traffic.
1t is estimated that such an increase
would produce an additional revenue of
a million or million and half yearly.
The commissioners remarked it might
be deemed advisable to call together
again a conference of the public service
commissioners which met in Boston re-
Gently to consider freight rate prob
lens.

Three Dreadnaughts, Three

Athens, March 2l.--The minister of

Has Yankee Shrewdness Altogether
Vanished?

We have it from the agricultural col
leges that farming in New England can
be made to pay, that indeed it pays now.
Evidence is supplied from observation
among the men who are in the business
and are getting ahead. The Polanders
in western Massachusetts, come into
region to labor, presently acquire the
farm and make it yield profits. Land is
leased at rate for the season for an
acre nearly as much as the land sold for
not long ago Farm lands are repre-
scented as advancing in price. What is
lacking in the bright picture is the pro
cessions back to the farms. 1t has not
vet fallen within the focus. There were
fewer titled acres in Vermont in 1910
than in 1900 and by 20 per cent-nearly
a quarter falling-off.
That there is profit in dairy products,
in apples, in the old standard crops, in
grain and potatoes, and along the whole
list of New England products is proved
abundantly, on paper and IN TACT.
What then is the reason that the OBJ
vious advantage of farming as bust
ness is not acted upon? The president
of Middlebury college, Vermont in
stitution in the midst OF good farming
country, said the other day that it is the
loss of the old-time shrewdness, the de-
cline of the proverbial ability to drive
bargain, the failure of keen sight to
opportunity. Was it not just these
traits that depopulated the farmsl The
opportunity for the sort of men the
farms produced was distinctly greater in
other fields. And the shrewd sense the
fathers displayed in their trades was
carried by the sons to the big towns for
bigger returns than the farms paid.
The discovery that farming is better
business than it was, that the study of
methods has opened new ways of profit
and bettered the old ones, that school
taught agriculture is practicable and
paws dividends, that the modern way
of farming is immeasurably easier and
that therefore the same energy and APP
plication that exacted living from the
soil for the fathers will yield wealth to
the sons, or it may be the grandsons--
this will not long go unheeded. Yankee
has not vanished 1t is to
be doubted if il has even declined. The
sharpness that drove the petty trade in
other years has broadened to larger af-
fairs. Now that the farm has come to
be that larger affair, it may be expected
to attract men again. The reward for
reiteration of the evidence that the farm
pays, is that il viii presently be ac-
cepted and acted upon. The keen citizen
of New England has never yet let the
to make a dollar pass very
far bv him. And if he is not as alert
as of yore, which may be and may not,
his successor is sure to arrive. The case
for The farm is convincing. IL only
needs TO be argued and re-argued and
new evidence dmitted.-Christian Sci

APPROVES SWEDISH DIVORCE.
Council of State at Stockholm Ratifies
Court Desree.

Stockholm, March 2l.-The council of
state has approved the decision of the
consistory court granting divorce in
the case of Prince William of Sweden
and Princess Marie, who, before her mar
riage was the Grand Duchess Marie Paw
lovna, of Russia, and has declared the
marriage dissolved. In their petitions
for divorce, incompatibility of tempera-
ment was given by both the prince and
the princess as the ground for their ap-
peal. They requested a speedy decision.
Negotiations between the courts of St.
Petersburg and Stockholm for the dis
solution of the marriage began last No
vember. The couple were married in
1908. and on account of alleged domestic
troubles the princess separated from her
husband.

SUFFRAGE AIDES

Shafroth of Colorado Proposes New
Amendment to Bill in the
Senate.

Washington, March 2l.-Following the
defeat of the woman suffrage amend
ment in the Senate, Senator Shafroth
yesterday made new move in the fight
of the suffragists. He introduced an
amendment which provides that on pc
tition of s per cent. of the voters in any
state, the question of equal suffrage
shall be submitted to a referendum of
the voters. If majority of the vot-
ers SO decree, the women shall be given
the vote.
The new measure is intended to meet
the objections of southern senators and
hostile members to suffrage amend
ment Under this measure, states OPP
posed to suffrage because of the pres
ence of large numbers of negro voters
could control the issue as they wished.
The original plan was to require submis-
sion on petition of per cent. of the
voters
