Ninety per cent of those at the loot

More than half of the idiosyncra-

that they are too lazy to give proper
attention to the necessities of HE.
They do not keep appointments be-
cause they are too lazy to make mem

ize their importance. They do not
pay their bills promptly, not because
of their overloaded brains, but be-
cause they are too lazy to meet their
obligations honestly. They are for
getful of common affairs, not because
of their great intellects, but because
they are too lazy to have considera-

N:nety-nine per cent of failures are
due to pure and simple 1aziness, to
unwillingness to work and do ones

Go with me through any great de-

find that practically all of those at the

they would if they attended to their
duties.
1t is easier to be up to the mark,
and to stay there, than it is to lean
backward and spurt under pressure.
The man who attends to his bust
ness. considers tha rights of others,
and does his full duty. seldom over
works. He knows that it does not
pay him to be behind time. and. con-
sequently, he is on time. He realizes
that what he has to do should be
done. and he does it; and, further,
he knows that to do ones duty is
easier than to shirk it.
The shirk is frequently the most
overworked one of all. He actually
tires himself out trying to do moth

ties, and the chances are that when
he reaches middle age he is broken
and his physical and mental health do
not compare with those of one who
has attended to his affairs day by

lapse.
Loafng is not resting. Leaving
necessary work undone does not con-

satisfaction, more success, than does

The controversy with Great Britain
over the Panama Canal tolls was pre-
cipitated July s. 1912, when A. Mitchell
Innes. charge d,affaires of the British
Embassy, sent to the State Department a
message announcing that his majesty's s
government would consider the Hay
Pauncefote treaty violated II Congress
accepted the then pending proposal TO er-
empt American vessels from payment OF
tolls in urinS the canal.
This message was communicated TO the
Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals
by the then Secretary of State, Mr..
Knox, and its contents were made public
q few days later. Despite the knowledge
upon the part of the Senate, however, Of
the protest from Great Britain, the pro-
vision ON the Adamson act, as the Pan
anna Cana! bill was known. which ac-
corded the proposed exemption to Ameri-
can vessels engaged in the coastwise
trade, was adopted by the Senate by an
overwhelming and nonpartisan vote, The
bill was signed by President Taft. who
Issued a statement explaining fully his
reasons therefor.
Knox Gets British Protest.
On November 9. the British Ambassador,
Mr. Bryce. handed to Secretary of State
Knox 8 copy of instructions ne had re-
ceived, setting forth in full the British
contention that the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty of 1901 would be violated by the
operation OF the terms OF the Adamson
act II was claimed by Sir Edward Grey
that the phrase ''all nations in the Hay
Pauncefote treaty prohibited the United
States from favoring American vessels
using the canal; that the exemption would
thrust an undue burden on the vessels of
other nations, and finally, IL was asked
that the exemption clause either he re-
pealed or submitted to arbitration as pro-
vided in the general arbitration treaty
between the two governments.
To this note Secretary Knox replied on
January l. He took the ground that the
Presidents proclamation of the canal
tolls, issued November 13, showed that
no extra burden was being placed on
British or other foreign vessels by the
proposed exemption. Mr.. Knox held that
the British protest was based on an I'M
iustifable fear as to an injustice that
might be done, rather than one that ac-
tually had occurred. Secretary Knox de-
clared that IL actual experience with the
operation of the canal convinced Great
Britain that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
was being violated, or that her interests
were being done an injustice. it then
would be time to discuss the alleged vio-
lation of the treaty. and proceed to con-
structions of that document. Mr.. Knox
offered. however. in case Great Britain
felt she was agGrieved, TO submit the con-
sroversy TO the Commission of Inquiry
provided for in the Knox arbitration
treaty with Great Britain. of which rati-
fcations then were due to be exchanged.
