coAsTw1sE TRADE AND TOLLS

In regard to tolls on coastwise ships
passing the Panama canal the house
of representatives an probabl y be
depended on to obey orders from the
White house, says the Chronicle.
However vigorously some individual
Democrats may protest, it can, if
necessary, be made a party matter
and the entire Democratic vote east
as desired. Bseides, the division in
this question is not altogether on par
ty lines.
The senate will not be amenable to
dictation. The entire west will be a
unit for the law as it is and the out
spoken declaration of Senator Rams
dell, of Louisiana, indicates that the
people of the Gulf states may be as
strongly in favor of free tolls as we
of the west. The law, as it stands,
passed the senate by an overwhelm-
ing majority, and, in the opinion of
Senator Poindexter, of Washington,
very few senators will change their
votes.
The senate is responsible, with the
president, for our attitude ON all in
ternational questions, and the ma
jority were emphatieally of the opin-
ion that the matter of free tolls on
American ships was not an interna-
tional question at all, but a question,
pure and simple, of domestic policy.
By no possible means can such free
tolls in any way affect the shipping
OF any other nation, either in respect
to cargo or to expenses.
If it be said that it may affect the
Canadian transcontinental railways as
il affects our own, the answer must be
that if so the people of Canada will
benefit just as our own people benefit
and that our controversy cannot be
with the Canadian and British peo-
pie, but with the Canadian govern
ment, as the representative of the
Canadian railroads.
The effect OF free tolls to our coast
wise ships will probably be to compel
the Canadian lines to meet any rates
made by our own transeontinental
lines in competition with the canal.
Otherwise, British Columbia ports
would be at a disadvantage as com
pared with our own ports.
The people of the United States
believe that to be sound economic
policy, and that it will not be unjust
TO the rail carriers. We do not doubt
that the people of Canada feel the
same way. If railroads have more
than they have with u government
we cannot help it.

THE liquor people are getting into deep
water in all parts Of the civilized world,
and the courts are making rulings which
viii make the business Of selling liquor
less desirable to those whose averitious
iuclinations are the main incentive for
engaging in the business. Under deci-
sion Of the Supreme Court of the United
States there is no constitutional objection
to State law making saloon keepers
liable for damages resulting from the
sale Of their liquor The children of
Nebraska man sued saloon keeper on
the ground that he had made their father
a habitual drunkard, and they got YER
pict Of $1,000 damages. The supreme
court has upheld the decision and this
fact viii probably encourage prohibition
lists in other States to work for the en-
actment Of a law similar to that Of Ne
braska.

TIE wet" and the dry question
will be agitated and forced to the front
during the political campaign Of this sum
mer and fall in Delaware, and the COM
ment of the State Sentinel last week
dispassionately states the situation very
clearly when it says
It is generally conceded that this cues
ton is to be dominant as a local issue in
the coming election. We see no reason
why it should not be. 1t is a question
the answer to which is to effect for good
OF Ill, the business and social life Of the
people of this State. 1t is candidlv con-
coded that the prohibition of the mere
traffic has been productive Of great good
in the dry counties Of the State. It is
wisdom, therefore, to try to maintain the
good conditions that now obtain.
There are, however, larger interests to
consider. The wet and dry question
reasonably enters only the legislative
campaign. With proper nominations for
State officers, the result can only be af-
tected by the vicious trading of votes, in
the interest Of one or the other of the
political contestants. Il being a fact
beyond dispute that the candidates to be
elected are to be Republicans or Demo-
Gratis in that condition it ought to be
perfectly easy to predict the result of the
election-the Republicans ought to win.

TIE result of the inspection Of rural
schools in Kent county by the County
School Commission, which is printed in
this weeks issue of this paper, and will
be completed in the issue Of next week
has brought out some facts that would
be well for the people to think over. and
act upon for the betterment of conditions
under which their children are getting
an education. It is evident that the ma
jority of the people are ignoring the ed
ucation question, and for that reason
men who have no personal interest other
than the petty personal interest Of reduc-
ing the actual number of the pennies
they must pay to support the schools, to
the lowest possible minimum. In most
instances these men attend the school
meetings promptly, and for that reason
are elected to serve upon the local school
boards, and by virtue of this fact. thew
are able to reduce the amount of repairs
and prevent any improvements Of school
houses or school methods, to the point
where the results can not be even good.
1t is shameful to have three children
crowded into one seat, and the air Of the
school rooms in many country schools so
bad from re-breathing that it actually
smells bad when the door of such rooms
are opened to visitors. The health of the
people largely depend upon the school
situation, as in many instances bad air
produces disease, and the uncomfortable
seats and benches cause stoop- shouldered
men and women in the future, who have
contracted lungs and deformed organs. |
That is one Of the thoughts the people
in the rural schools especially must look
after. It is duty each parent owes to
he people at large, to see that the pub
lie schools are maintained so that health
hi conditions as we'll as educational IA
.ilities are enjoyed equally. This is
luty for which no money payment should
