HONOR OR DISRoNoR.

The supreme fight over the repeal
OF the free canal tolls clause in the
Panama act is to begin in the House
OF Representatives to-day. President
wilson has given his objections 10 the
clause. stating that IL is a direct yio-
lation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
and places the this country in a dis.
honorable position. The defenders of
free tolls on the Democratic side
make the plea OF loyalty to the party
platform. This is contradictory
position. because free tolls is in the
form OF a subsidy to the coastwise
vessels. and the Democratic platform
distinctly declares against any class
OF ship subsidies.
Practically 1t is not a political cues
ton, as the history OF legislation on
the subject will disclose. President
Roosevelt signed the treaty of 1901
President Taft signed the canal act
but was not convinced OF the propri-
ETY. OF the free tolls clause. and rec.
commended that IL be referred to the
Hague for arbitration. President Wi.
son endorsed free tolls I'm his
speeches during the campaign Of
1872 but changed his mind recently.

National conventions sanctioned free
tolls in their platforms, but the Re.

implication in favoring subsidies for
the announcement OF the American
merchant marine. When the original
act was passed by Congress all
parties were divided in support and
opposition TO II. Many members who
voted for II have changed their
minds, together with President Wi.
son. who claims that the greatest
thing at stake is our National honor.
and in this has the support OF a
great majority sentiment OF the
press and the country.
In the contest which starts in the
House to-day the President will npa

the union OF the two parties on a
single ticket at the next election.
They are the words of the Hon. Amos
Bright. OF Sutton. Braxton county, a
Committee. and chairman OF the sub.
committee of that party at the Par.
kersburg conference. Mr.. Bright's
views are impressive because they
come from a man who is seeking the
highest good OF the State. and one
who is not turning away in obstinacy
from the amalgamation OF the Repub-
lican forces. as some of the Progress.
sive leaders are inclined to do.
Mr.. Bright puts the whole situation
in the most concise form, without
equivocation or subterfuge. and with.
out doubt reflects the views OF not
only the ninety-nine per cent of
braxton Progressives but the same
percentage OF the rank and file OF
that party throughout the State. lie
