Canal Tolls Legislation.

The Stars suggestion of the Wlsest
canal tolls legislation took this shape:
1.-The most natural legislation would per-
hans he suspension of the tolls-remission
law. and the constitution of an arbitra-
ton court composed of American anu
British Judges to settle the legal questions
at issue If the repeal proposition has
gained too great Roadway to be con-
verted into suspension. pending arbitra-
ton then repeal should be accompanied
by an uneauivocal ciean-cut reaff1rmatlon
of our legal right in conformity with all
Applicable laws and treaties to remit or
refund the canal tolls. and by the prop
osition of a special arbitration court In
which the United States and Great Brit
ain alone are represented TO determine the
specified issues.
The Stars thought has been that before
the Senate on varied and contradictory
grounds repeats the tolls-remission provi-
sion it should put on record in unmlstak-
able shape its opinion whether or not
tolIs-remission to coaStwise ships IS IN
violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
If while a majority of the Senate Is will
ing for one reason or another to repeal
tolls-remission a Senate majority is also
firm in the belief that such remission does
not violate the treaty, both facts should
be declared with equal definiteness and
the world.
The pending Norris-Simmons amend
ment is merely the disclaimer of waiver
of any right which the United states
may have under the treaty. and is not
the disclaimer of waiver of a definite right
which the United States in fact has under
the treaty. In other words, there is in
the amendment no assertion or reasser-
,at,t tolls 10
coastwise ships.
If a majority of the Senate thinks that
tolls-renlission to our coastwise ships is
not forbidden by the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty the wording of the Norris-Simmons
amendment should be slightly changed SO
that the United States shall by its terms
declare that tolls-renission repeal is not
a waiver of the right which it possesses
under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty to make
such remission.
II a test vote shows that a majority of
the Senate is not ready to make this
clean-cut reafirmation of our rights and
powers under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
then the Norris-Simmons amendment
might be appropriately adopted. Passage
Of this amendment unchanged would in
dicate that the Senate is in doubt whether
or not we nave the right TO remit tolls
to coastwise ships under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. but as measure of
precaution wishes to preserve ANY" right
which we may possess. There is no
obvious reason why senators who think
we have no right whatever under the
treaty to remit or refund tolls should not
vote for the Norris-Simmons amendment
If the Senate majority is of the opinion
that tolls-remission does not violate the
treaty, it should insist upon making IN
mistakable declaration to that effect now.
in order that in the compromise of con-
ference with the House at least the dis
claimer of the Norris-Simmons amend
ment may appear in the final legislation.

PlutocracY and Debate.

In an interview in New Jersey yester-
day, Mr.. Bryan described the Senate rule
for unlimited debate as 'plutocracy's last
stronghold and then said:
"Plutocracy has been defeated. where
ever the issue could be presented. but
its last stronghold has yet to be taken
have no doubt, however, that this will
be taken before very long. for tie senti.
ment against unlimited debate is con-
stantly increasing.
This Is an unfortunate deliverance, for
two reasons: o. Mr.. Bryan is a member
of the executive branch of the govern
ment, and as such should not speak If
derogation of the legislative branch. @

CATREDRALS AND

Cairo Catholic Protests in Sugges-

English and French Allege

In yesterdays Bulletin You have
a beautiful picture of the Antwerp
Cathedral with the not beautiful
title "A Cathedral Germans Didn't
Burn" The title is suggestive of
German vandalism as alleged by
English and French war dispatches,
The fact is the Germans did not
burn a single Cathedral in the enc,
mics land The Cathedral OF
Rheims was injured by German
shells, but the French had used its
towers as a military observatory in
spite of the white flag. A few Ger
man shells taught them they could
not thus claim immunity. Had the
Germans desired 10 destroy that
sacred ediiice q few shots from
their siege guns would not have left

Germans belonging to that faith. /
have travelled through many coun-
tries, but nowhere did I find such
! everence for the church, as the
very house Of God, as in Germany.
M Lindsay writes recently from
Munich, the gay capital of Bavaria,
1T is hard to imagine a spirit of
greater piety than exists here in
Munich. Our churches are crow ded
at every Mass, and all day long
with soldiers, for we still have Co.
600 of them in the city besides hun
dreds of officers. Before the troops
leave for the front, they assemble
in the church, often at eleven
o'clock at night, and presenting
arms to the uplifted host, swear on
their arms to die bravcely for their
country and not to touch woman
or child of the enemy"
Such people do not wantonly de-
stroy any church, however great or
humble. If from the protestant con-
tingent Of the German army not the
same reverence for Catholic
church can be expected as from the
| Catholics, that is on religious
grounds. neither would they, imbued
with the Christian culture, as they
are, think of wantonly destroying
such building as the Rheims
Cathedral.
