Bryan's Statement.

Secretary Bryan'S statement follows
Article I of the treaty now before the
Senate reads as follows: The government
OF the United States Oh America wishing
to put at rest all controversies and diff
ferences with the republic of Colombia
arising out of the events from which the
present situation the Isthmus OF
Panama resulted, expresses, in it's own
name and in the name of the people of
the United States, sincere regret that
anything should have occurred to inter
rupt or to mar the relations of cordial
friendship that had so long subsisted be-
tween the two nations.
:. The government of the republic of
Colombia. in its own name and in the
name of the Colombian people, accepts
this declaration in the full assurance that
every obstacle to the restoration of COM
plete harmony between the two countries
will thus disappear
Dubois Memorandum.
I'm what is known as the Bubois mem
orandum, made during the Taft admin
istration. which presented the basis upon
which he was authorized to negotiate a
treaty. the following language is used:
The government and the people of
the United States honestly regret any
thing should ever have occurred to mar,
IN any way. the long and sincere friend
ship that existed for nea1y century
between Colombia and the United States,
and the latter country has, for years,
earnestly desired to remove the ill feel
Ing aroused in Colombia by the separa-
ton of Panama
1t will be seen from a comparison of
the two paragraphs that they are identi-
cal in meaning and almost identical in
language. In the Dubois memorandum
the United States honestly regrets and
m the pending treaty the government
of the United States of America ex-
presses in its own name and in the name
of the people of the United States sin
cere regret There is no material diff
ference between honestly regrets and
sincerely regrets

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS
PREFERENTIAL ON SUGAR
Denies Application of Louisiana for
Injunction Affecting Cuban Prod
uct Under New Tariff.

The Supreme Court of the United
States yesterday refused the request
of the state of Louisiana to enjoin the
Secretary of the Treasury from con-
tinuing to grant imported Cuban sugar
20 per cent preferential in addition
to the reduced sugar duties of the
Underwood tariff act.
About March /, when the reduced
sugar duties went into effect, the state
of Louisiana applied to the Supreme
Court for permission to file a suit to
enjoin the Secretary of the Treasury
from allowing 20 per cent preferen-
tial on Cuban sugar imported into the
country after the new rates went into
effect. 1t made out that it raised sugar
on its convict labor farms and that it
would, as state, suffer irreparable
loss should the Secretary continue this
preferential
Claimed Abolition of Preferential.
The state further claimed that under
the reciprocity treaty with Cuba,
Cuban sugar was given admission to
this country at 20 per cent less than
the Dingley law duties and the Ding
ley rates alone. AS the reduction of
duties in the Underwood law was rs
per cent of the Dingley duties, 1t was
contended that the 20 per cent prefer
entail had been wiped out
Justice Lurton for the court held
that the Secretary Of the Treasurys
task of determining the law by fixing
the proper duty is discretionary and
not ministerial. and hence the court
could not direct him how to proceed
The decision affects only a suit be-
fore the Supreme Court. and does not
preclude proceedings before the Gus
toms Court Of Appeals. The merits Of
the case were not passed upon.

WOULD SETTLE ISSUE
OF POLAR DISCOVERY
Representative Smith Offers Resolu.
ton to Decide Claims for
Peary and Cook.

A resolution providing for congressional
action to determine the priority Of the
discovery of the north pole. as between
Rear Admiral Peary and DR.. Frederick
A. Cook, or any other person. was in
troduced today in the House by Repre-
sentative Charles B. Smith Of New York.
The resolution purposes that Congress
settle the issue that has been raised on
the subject at the instance of friends OF
DIR. Cook. who insist that he has not been
treated fairly, although Congress, the Ma
tional Geographic Society and other bod
les have approved the claims Of Admiral
Peary.
The resolution declares:
The discovery of the north pole in
wolves questions of scientific. geographic,
commercial economic and educational i'm
portance; the United States government
has not declared officially or otherwise
that an American reached the north pole
in advance of other explorers, and the
rights of United States citizens to par
ticipate in the fur. mining and other in
dustries in the far north are unsettled

clare definitely the priority OF discovery

UPS AND DOWNS OF THE OYSTER.

From the Christian Herald)
The total number of persons engaged
in tho oyster industry of the entire Uni
ted states Is 6,257 with yearly wages
amounting to s1o,S76,SOl, and the capital
invested, excluding the value OF the
private beds, is SIG, SSO,O32. The yield OF
oysters for 1912 was 32,9sS, Sis bushels, an
average of third of a bushel for every
man, woman and child in the country.
every restaurant, however humble or
wherever situated, as well as every
great hotel, Is expected during the sea-
son to have oysters on the bill of fare.
In olden times the epicures of Athens
and other cities close to the ocean had
an abundance OF shellfish such as we
use, and enjoyed them very much. But
to the Jews this kind of food was for
hidden by their law, which, allowing
certain kinds of fish, rejected much sea
food, including the oyster which was
probably little known to the ancients.
And whatsoever hath not fins and
scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto
you" Deut. xiv, l0),

VERMONT NOTES,
Discovers Poci,ctbook Which Contains
Script Of 1900.

While c. r. Deming of Montpelier was
moving his household goods from the old
Deming property on state street, which
has been sold, he found number of old
relics that had apparently been stored
away with an old pocketbook in one OF
the chambers for many years. They date
back to the time before his grandfather,
Joshua T. VAIL one of the first principals
of the Washington county grammar
school, vino built the house about 1868. In
the pocketbook were two old pieces or
script, one dated at Burlington, April IL,
1863. reading For the president and direc-
tors of the Vermont State bank | promise
to pay the bearer at their office of dis
count and deposit in Burlington. 30 cents

Another is dated at Woodstock, Septem-
Der 5, 1907 These slips, about two inches
long by one and a half wide, were used
as money in their day when the govern
ment and many Of the banks issued script
In the collection were also an old hand

CARS FOR PRISONERS IN MON
TREAL.

The Montreal rramways company re-
Quebec the first car designed exclusively
for the transportation of prisoners. This
vehicle will carry prisoners twice a day
between Montreal and the new prison at
Bordeau. seven miles distant. The car
will hold 81 passengers and is divided in
to two compartments for the purpose of
sons, says the Electric Railway Journal.
The front platform is provided with
a cab for the motorman, while the rear
platform is arranged as a compartment
for the prison officials who may be re-
quired to accompany the prisoners. The
guards place is in front of this cOmpart-
to give him a better view of the prison
ers.
The sides of the car are sheet steel
The windows, of course. are placed
above the line of vision. The car is run
directly into the prison yard.

SHIPPING TONS OF WATER.

In Farm and Fireside" appears the fol-
lowing interesting comment on the useless
transportation Of half a million tons of
water on railroad trains;
should we see 400 or 800 freight trains
of so or 40 cars, each filled with water,
rolling by, going from the corn belt to
parts of the country where wa
ter is plentiful, just at the time when
there is a cry going up for freight cars,
there would be a strong protest at once
from American citizens against such I'M
economic railroad management,
THE quantity of water mentioned is be-
ng shipped just the same, but 1t is excess
moisture in the new corn. Federal experts
who have made a study of this matter
show that the American people are pay
ing freight on almost a half-nhllion tons
of excess water annually, shipping their
corn to market
shipping this useless water makes ev-
cry pound of beef and every johnny cake
cost more than Is necessary"

SHALL VERMONT GIVE AID TO ITS
COLLEGES.
CFrom the Independent,


The little State of Vermont has received
rom a group of experts in the employ of
the Carnegie Founda ton the astonishing
educational advice that it should have
nothing to do with higher education in
its colleges and universities. In a report
Just published as bulletin No, of the
Foundation, which includes the results Of
an elaborate survey of educational condi-
lions IN Vermont and revolutionary sug-
gestions for the reorganization of IT'S sys-
tenn of public education. the counsel is
extended to the people of Vermont to cut
off all appropriations for higher education.
refuse all inspection and guidance of the
work Of lis colleges and universities, and
ignore completely all educational effort
beyond that of the public high schools, ex-
cept to see that the money received from
the United State. for an agricultural coll
llege be expended for agriculture. The
Carnegie Foundation would mako Yer
mont, State famed for its breeding OF
leaders, the only State in the American
nation to render no support or encourage
ment to the institutions in which leaders
are trained Since the Vermont policy OF
higher education is similar to that which
prevails in n larger number of Eastern
States. and because OF tho great prestige
of the Carnegie Foundation in educational
matters. the question raised by the re 'om-
lmendation is of wide Interest
One naturally inquiries immediatelyWh
reasons are advanced by the experts FOL

that Vermont Is poverty stricken, for the
| report confesses that Tho State possesses
much accumulated wealth." and that I'll
| few communities Is the general body o.
citizens so free from want" There Is M
analysis of the finances of the State, blu
MS a matter Of fact Vermont has an an
Inual income well over 100000, all o
which Is derived from corporation take
| and fees of various kinds. Until the pres
ent year there was no direct State tax 70
a long period The State spends $500, coo

aside from what is raised by local taxa
ton. $1S7, 900 on care Of the insane. $50, 90
for its Legislature, s95. 900 for its penal in
lstltutions, and well over $50, 900 n year 70
its National Guard. The Vermonters VIII
can dig 7.1JO,OO n year from their quar-
ries OF marble and granite, make thei

least modest sum for the encouragement
OF the bright boys and girls who want I
so to college.
