BACK DOOR FOR Mr.. OVENS
After This Little Episode, Perhaps He
May Go There, but Some Men
Are Stubborn.

It was after dark and the French
when the telephone bell rang.
Mr.. Ovens?"
Yes, ma'am."
This Is Mrs. FINLEY OF Hickorynut
street"
Eyes, Mrs. FINLEY"
Il am giving a supper tonight and
discover that l need half a dozen
more rolls. Could l trouble you to
send them over"
I'm sorry, ma'am, but l haven't a
roll left in the store, nor even a loaf
Of bread. We are sold clear out to-
night"
This is very provoking" said Mrs.
FINLEY. Are you sure you haven't
anything that would do?"
There isn't thing in the place
that l would care to sell you ma'am
Hold on, though, there's a half-dozen
fresh rolls on my own supper table
right now. l could let you have those,
If you think they would do. My kids
can eat crackers instead; they'd rath-
er, anyway.
Those will do very nicely, Mr.
Ovens. Will you send them over
soon, please?"
Right away. ma'am. The boy has
gone for the night, but I'll take them
to you myself"
In minute or two he stood on her
front steps ringing the bell and feel
Ing well pleased with himself that he
could do some one kindness.
Mrs. FINLEY opened the door and
took the packages from his hands.
Then she said, in icy tones:
The next time you bring any goods
here, Mr.. Ovens, wish you would re-
member to ring the basement bell. I
can't have tradesmen coming to the
front door."-Newark News.

by your vote you are asked to rati-

desire that we surrender sovereignty
of the Canal Zone and admit that it
is an international waterway in which
we have no rights that are not pos
sessed by all other Nations.
Our governmental status on the
Canal Zone was established and fixed
by a treaty made with the Republic
of Panama subsequent to the making
OF the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Great
Britain remained silent after the pub
LEGATION OF this treaty and allowed us
to build the canal under it, and she
is estopped now to deny the right we
acquired under this treaty with
Panama.
THE Republic of Panama acquired
4 the sovereignty over the land through
which the canal was built in the
same manner the original Thirteen
States of this Union acquired their
sovereignty. by successful revolution.
Panama has surrendered her sover-
eighty over the Canal Zone to our
government by language that is so
clear it cannot be misunderstood.

rights OF Nation, and for what? Can

UNDERWOOD AGAINST
i REPEAL OF TOLLS
.tuse Leader for First Time Takes
Floor in Opposition to Presidents
Recommendation
tBy Associated Pressl

Washington, March 27.-Representa-
tive Underwood OF Alabama Demo
cratic floor leader in the House OF
Representatives, today delivered his
speech against repeating the Panama
tolls exemption, as urged by President
Wilson. The scene of the leader OF
the House majority, who had led the
successful fights for practically all the
administration measures, combating
the position of the President, attract
ed wide attention. Mr.. Underwood
urged defeat of the Sims bill, which
follows President Wilson's recommen-
dation for the repeal of the tolls eX-
emption. He declared the repeal was
contrary to the platform of the Demo
cratic party adopted at the Baltimore
convention, and that an exemption
favoring American coastwise ships dld
not violate the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
"Not for one moment do | believe
we have violated a treaty" declared
Mr. Underwood. Our whole difficulty
arises from the un-American spirit o!
surrender that some of our own peo'
ple have exhibited toward this i'm
portant question from the very be-
ginning.
"Can anyone tell us plainly who we
surrender and what is to be accom-
plished by it? Are we to yield mere
ly because the sentiment OF Europe Is
against us? When has the sentiment
of Europe ever been with us about
matters OF moment? When VIII the
time come when we can expect 10
maintain and preserve our rights po'
litical and commercial, with the ac'
ouiescent sympathy of European gov
ernments"
Mr.. Underwood quoted the tolls eX-
emption plank from the Baltimore
platform, and continuing said
There can be no contention as to
the meaning of this language, No one
can raise the issue that the bill now
pending before the House introduced
bv the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.
sims is not In direct conflict with
the declaration of the Democratic
p,atform. Personally | believe that

In good faith by those who claim al
legiance to party principles, but as
there are many here who differ with

of a party platform, will not at TINS

LET us resolve the issue into the
