The Tolls MIDDLE.

The unfortunate thing about the Panama tolls
affair is that the Democratic PLATFORM con-
tains the following plank
We favor the exemption from tolls OF Amea1-
can ships engaged In coastwise trade passing
through the Panama canal.
This is a very definite pledge by the Demo-
cratic party to exempt American vessels engaged
in coastwise trade from the payment OF tolls.
1t is claimed in some quarters that this plank
got into the Democratic platform by some de-
fault of attention to details. 1t is, however. a
same vote by which other parts of that docu-
ment were approved in that great convention.
and formally and technically speaking it is en-
titled to the same consideration.
The platform declaring the policy of the party
to be thing and President Wilson's leader
ship in effort to make good the opposite re-
suit constitute situation which gives to the
opponents of the administration and the party
behind It a rare opportunity to impugn their
sincerity.
When the matter of exemption first up
for discussion after that convention held, and
believe ninety mine out of every one hundred
who thought of the matter at all were of the
same opinion that the Panama canal being an
achievement of American genius, enterprise and
money, this government entitled to dictate
terms as it's use by other nations But a
single reading Of the Hay Pauncefote treaty. in
far it dealt with that issue, settled the
question definitely enough. Long before the
Democratic party had adopted the unfortunate
plank that went into it's platform at Baltimore
this great nation had pledged its faith and
honor In the ay-Pauncefote treaty not to do
the thing that the party pledged itself to do

Repudiating the President.

President Wilson has consistently held that
his election to the presidency created him the
titular head of the Democratic party, and in
vested him with its leadership.
He has appeared in person before congress a
ma tority in both branches being OF his party,
and urged upon them to repeal the law exempt
ing coastwide vessels from tolls in passing
though the Panama canal. In his message to
congress he said: I'VE ought to reverse our
action without raising the question whether we
right wrong" and again he said. II
shall not know how to deal with other matters
of greater delicacy and nearer consequence
II YOU do not grant it to me in ungrudging meas
