Free Tolls Two Years Ago.

In his very able speech in the Senate
yesterday on the tolls question, Mr..
Bradley expressed the opinion that Mr..
Wilson would not have been elected If
as a candidate for President he had
proposed repeal of the free tolls law.
Many men Will agree with the Kentucky
senator.
But let so a step farther back.
Had the Baltimore convention adopted
a platform without mention of the free
tolls subject, or expressing disapproval
of the proposition, it would have armed
the opposition with a weapon that
would have proved the most formida-
BILE of the campaign.
The subject was not unimportant. 1t
was not put into the platform simply
as a filler" There had been for some
time a lively discussion of what we
as the builder and owner of the Pan
anna canal could do with our property
under the treaty and public sentiment
supported free tolls. That was SO very
evident that the democrats at Balti-
more. bidding for favor, and bidding
high and fluently because of their six
teen years of Intellectual bidding, in
dorsed free tolls without hint of op-
position from any quarter. They were
had behind it the promise of SO many
votes
When the time came for the candi
date to interpret the platform-pick
out its leading planks and play them
up for attention-Mr Wilson. with an
acumen sharpened by the desire for
success, emphasized the Importance of
the free tolls plank, and took stand on
fpp Ha
in the statement that the democratic
party would keep its promises in that
as in all other matters.
This was to prevent the opposition
from charging that free tolls had been
"sneaked in" at Baltimore, and meant
nothing Mr. Wilson as the candidate
explained what it meant, and pledged
aimself and his party to a complete
performance of the promise.
Can anybody doubt the effect of
campaign with SO adroit and aggressive
an agitator as Mr.. Roosevelt touring
the country and denouncinG the demo-
cratic party as the tool of Great Brit
ain? MIR. Wilson did not doubt it, and
prevented it by bidding as high as
Mr.. Roosevelt himself for votes on that
issue.
And at that time both Mr.. Wilson and
his party believed in free tolls. The
Baltimore convention meant what u
said, and Mr.. Wilson what he said
Since then Mr.. Wilson has changed his
mind; but there is no evidence that
the democratic party has changed its
mind. In the House il changed its posi-
tion at his request, and If the Senate
follows suit It will act. not upon its
own conviction. but upon Mr.. Wilson's.
And neither Congress nor the country
knows just why o. when Mr.. Wilson
shifted his foot though both are very
curious on the subject, OF speculation
there is an abundance.

are usually permitted to gain before the

Too much speed was being made when

ment, the Underwood law is not produc-

mains as to the currency law, soon to be
put into operation.
As the Sena.e resisted the Presidents

suits to the country, it may pluck up
courage again. The questions still to be
dealt with are of great interest to the
business world. and but little understood
