tute of life at last years theatrical review
 Diplomatirally speaking, the ques tion of fortifying the Panama canal was settled with the ratification of tho Hay -Pauncefote treaty. In the earlier treaty. known as the Clayton Bulwe" the contracting powers did mutually agree that the canal should not he tortihcd but that both should join in its naturalization In th' first draft f the Hay pauuccfutr treaty this clausc was retained and because f it's retention, the treaty was refused ratification by the United tates sen ate. It was returned to the senate with the objectionable clause deleted pnd was ratified. The refusal to en- fer into any treaty limiting or denying the right of the Tinted States to for tify any transOceanic canal 1t might build was positive. So thoroughly was that fact emphasized during the negotiations that Lord Lansdowne one of the negotiators on the part of Great Britain. declared after the treaty had become the supreme law of the land that under 1t the right of the United States to fortify was un- questionable.
 These facts are not new. They are rcstated here. thus briefly, in order that readers may once for all under stand that protests. or rumorS "f pro- tests. against tortifying our own canal are the mcrest moonshine. We possess the right and we have exercised it.

 In these days of progressive morali- ty it is singular to find our govern ment taxing the instruments of thrift TO benevolence which other govern ments established by the taxing pow CT. Yet that is the effect of the taxes e llected from the insurance compan- .es. the agencies of those who volun- tarily do for themselves what the laws If some governments make compul- sory, and which some governments do for those who are unable to do t themselves. England and Germany have long been held up to us as ex- an ples of monarchal systems in ad- vance of ourselves in the matter of social justice by aids to the afflicted, old. sick, unemployed, and so on. Yet thc Income tax. like the corporation tax, is levied upon the insurance com ranies whose activities relieve our government from the necessity of much of the governmental insurance C other cOuntries
 States and nation are alike to blame. President Kingsley. of the New York Life Company has calculated that if bis company had paid the nation at the same rate 1t paid the states the taxation on the company's income, raid by the policy holders, would have reached IA per cent. That is about the rate collected from the malefac- tors who are wealthy enough to pay the additional income tax. Other gov elnments that levy any tax on this form of thrift levy it upon the policy holders, who know what is done. Our governments levy it upon the corpor- ations. and the rolicy holders neither see nor appreciate the influence which saps their security. In England the tax is one fourteenth that paid in the United States, in Germany, one-twen- t:cth. In France. Germany. Spain. Denmark and Russia, the tax is sim Fly for the cost of the administration C the insurance department of go r. ernment.
 Those governments make the tax negligible, merely the cost of supervis- ing the business. because they know hat the companies do the government IS relieved from doing. Our govern ments regard the accumulated wealth of the companies, the security of 42,. c00,0OO policy holders against penury through bereavement as proper l source of spoilation. The process is indirect, and the policy holders art not aroused against the government e pablo of such unwisdom.-New York Times.

 There is no change in the Mexican situation. MT. Tumulty. who is the private secretary to the president says so, and MT. Tumulty ought to know. There is no change in the Mexican situation. Mir. Bryan says so. and MT. Bryan is secretary of stante and II F ought to know. There is no change in the Mexican situation. Mir. Garrison says so, and MT. Garrison is the sec rotary of war and HE ought to. know. Therefore the people of the United States might as well rest content and believe that there has been no change in the Mexican situation.
 There are at present several regi- ments of United States troops in Texas, along the Mexican border There is cavalry there. and infantry and field artillery. oh, quite lot O each arm of the service, and orders have been issued for two more regi- ments of infantry to proceed to the border immediately. Moreover these two regiments are to be brigaded with regiment already on the border. In- creasing the size of the units.
 Other regiments have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness for immediate orders to the border. Other batteries of field artillery have re- ceived preparatotry orders and only last week we read of a brigade of marines at Mare Island, another in the Hawiian Islands and third at Port Royal.
 There is not any change in the Mex ican situation. MT. Humility and Mr. Bryan and MT. Garrison have just s6id so. and they are honorable men doubt their word.
 But why all of this activity with the fighting men of the nation? Why the two regiments of infantry to tho border and the brigade formation Why the other regiments and the light batteries held in readiness fol immediate orders to the border? Why the brigades of marines at Port Roya snd at Mare Island and at Honolulu
 Granting that there IS no presen: change in the Mexican situation does this gathering of the fighting men of tbte nation. slowly but very quietly and very surely point to q possible change in the very near future?

 Field batteries are not sent to Texas far the health of the horses and infantrymen are not left to bake on the dry planes along the border for the mere joy of getting sunburned.
 Marine brigades are not held a' little two-for-a cent camps of in st"ucttion like Pult Royal in order that they may become proficient in thr national gam" of base hpll. Nor 1'. they ordered Ia be ready to mo1o r'm Mare Island and the ships of t- Pacific he't entirely for the fon of he thing.
 Troops that have but recently gone out to Hawaii, as have some of the marines in those islands, are not brought back again in order that the transports may test Alaska coal.
 No, there may be no change in the Mexican situation. If the gentlemen quoted above say that there is no change that settles 1t. there IS no change But 1t surely looks to a care tul observer very much as if the ud- ministration in Washington Was get ting mighty big ready on for some Il ing and about the only thing that is indicated hy the recent orders to the army and marine corps is a change T the Mexican situation.
 What that change will he none may t'lI The very able and patriotic and }rst man in the White House may not kl ow as yet himself. But it appears on the very face of things that even he expects change of some kind and Il at he is preparing for it
