NO COMPROMISE
On CANAL TOLLS
President Stands For Repeal;
Nothing Else VIII Do
WHEAT PRICE POOL ALLEGED
Government Will Build Railroad In
Alaska and May Operate It; Bill
Authorizing This Passes the Senate.

President Wilson let it be known
that he is confident the free tolls pro-
vision of the Panama canal act will
be repealed at this session of con-
gress.
1t was evident from things the presi'
dent said that he will insist upon the
outright repeal of the Objectionable
provisions and will refuse any compro-
mise that may be evolved with view
Of retaining the free tolls provision
for American coastwise vessels.
This became known when the prest
dents attention was called to a com
promise plan suggested among the
house members This provided for the
extension of the privilege OF free pas
sage to coastwise vessels of all
nations, in other words to Canadian
vessels plying between east and west
coasts of Canada and to the South
American countries.
The president disclosed the fact that
although the compromise had not been
brought to his attention for serious
consideration he viewed it as embody'
Ing a discrimination against the tax
payers of the United States, because
they would really bear the burden OF
furnishing free passage to the coast
wise ships of the world.
In this connection the president
made it clear that his advocacy OF the
free tolls proposition is not grounded
on the belief that it involves a viola
tion of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but
because it confers a special privilege
on certain interests at the expense OF
the whole people.

Probe Asked of "Wheat Price Poe


Inquiry into the organization and
operations of the Chicago and Duluth
boards of trade and the Minneapolis
chamber OF commerce to determine
their influence over wheat and flour
prices in the country was proposed
in resolution introduced in the house
by Representative Manahan Of Mime
sofa.
The resolution was referred to the
rules committee and Representative
Manahan announced his intention OF
pressing for a hearing before that com
mittee at the earliest possible date.
"The cost of living has not respond
ed to the general reduction in tariff
rates" declared the preamble to the
resolution. "and does not yield to the
steadily falling prices received by
farmers for their products. The
worlds demand for wheat and the con.
sumption thereof so closely balances
its production from year to year that
there is no legitimate occasion for
violent fluctuations in the price of that
necessity"
The constantly changing price to the
farmer and the continued high price
to the consumer, 1t was asserted, are
due to the manipulations Of the pur'
chase and sale of the wheat by the
three organizations named. Each OF
the three, it is charged, is a monopoly
controlling wheat prices.

Literary circles in New York have
Bates Posts remarkable presenta-
tion of Omar Khayyam. While he
has made the old Persian something
like everyone expected he would, he
has brought out a new element. He
accentuates Omar Khayyam's charity
as the keynote of his character.
Il think Of Omar as a philosopher
and scientist, a man with twentieth
century ideas living in the eleventh
century" said Mr.. Post, but he ap-
peals to me most because he, like
Abou Ben Adhem, loved his fellow
men. He had great big human
heart that enabled him to look over
the narrow prejudices of race and
creed to be lover" in the big sense.
But this conception does not prevent
him from being the hero in the beau
