The German Government subsidies its ships
heavily, and we do not protest or interfere.
The British Government pays heavy subsidy
to it's local mercantile marine, and we do not pro
test or dictate to England what she shall do.
Then, after we have spent hundreds Of millions
to build canal after we have put American inter
national shipping-the only kind that completes
with foreign shipping -on an even basis with all
other shipping, taxing our own international ship
ping as we tax that of England, we told that we
must not be permitted to use the canal that we have
built in our own way
This country has submitted to undignifed,
weak and Anglomaniac treaty makers.
We have put our international mercantile ma
rine, without any subsidy, the plane as the
other international shipping which means that we
can not hope to build up that part of our marine.
We humbly ask permission to give free use of
the canal to our coastwise shipping only.
We desire that the inhabitants of the East and
the West, the extreme Northwest and the extreme
Northeast, and all the intervening territory, shall
have the benefit Of cheap freights and free use of
the canal
We ask permission to use that canal as means
of limiting the extortions of the transcontinental
railroads
We are told by Great Britain and by some of
our own Senators and by the President Of the
United States that shall not use that canal in that
way, in spite of the fact that the free tolls law
exists and was passed without any opposition on the
part of foreign countries until Mr. Wilson'S pub
Usher was made Ambassador to England in spite of
the fact that the Democratic party and the Demo
cratic platform the whole people of the country and
Mr. Wilson himself Endorsed the free tolls idea be-
fore election.
It is very serious thing for nation like the
United States to display pusillanimity and vacila
ton in international questions.
Every American regardless of personal in
terest is Inundated by the attitude of our admins
tration in foreign affairs
We are told that foreign vessel shall not use
our own canal except by paying toll
And few weeks later we are told of treaty
which will give to Central American republic the
right to ship petroleum and coal through the canal
free of charge.
Does any sane man doubt that the coal and oil
interests are represented in this decision just as the
English aristocrats with their millions in the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad Stocks are represented in the
protest against free use of the canal by American
coastwise shipping?
The matter must be plain in the minds of all
citizens.

The Senators of the United States dealing as
they do with the most earnest convictions of the
American nation, with the most valuable asset of
that nation, the right to home government without
foreign interference, carry upon their shoulders
heavy load of responsibility and duty.
The recent elections in New Jersey and Massa
chusetts have shown the temper Of the people, and
that temper is shown in thousands of protests from
all over the United States
This newspaper reminds Democratic Senators
and others whose mind is on patronage that three
years is not very long time; those years will
pass.
Let the Senators think of what will happen
three years from now as they act wisely or fooshly
The success of the Democratic party at the next
election, and more than that the very life of the
party is at stake in this decision now in the hands
of the Senate in regard to the free tolls law
1t is true that the Democratic party and all
other political parties that the nation has ever
known are less important than the fundamental
principle involved-the question as to whether or
not this nation has right to attend to its own af
fairs, to regulate its own waterways to make laws
based upon the Monroe Doctrine, and, although less
important to give to the people of the United States
just return for the spending of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars by the people.
Far more important than the State of any
Democratic Senator, or Presidential candidate, or
the Democratic party itself is the fundamental
question of North American government by
North American nation.
But Senator's thinking of patronage and their
own welfare, and bending to the will that dis
tributes patronage, may heed most readily an APP
peal based upon their own and their party in
terests.
We ask them to bear these facts in mind, re
membering that the existence of their party and
their political life depends upon their decision

PATRONAGE SEEKING SENATORS WHO RE-
FUSE TO HEED THE WARNING OF THE CIT
IzENS, AND PREFER TO SACRIFICE THE
PARTY AND THE COUNTRY TO THEIR
GREED FOR PATRONAGE.
THE MERE ABANDONMENT OF WILSON
AT THE NEXT ELECTION WILL NOT SAVE
THE PARTY, FOR TT WILL NOT BE WILSON
ALONE WHO WILL HAVE BETRAYED HIS
TRUST, BUT THE WHOLE DEMOCRATIC OR
GANIzATION WHICH HAS BEEN FAITH
LESS. THE OUTRAGED VOTERS OF THIS
COUNTRY WILL DEFEAT, AND NOT ONLY
DEFEAT BUT DESTROY, THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY, AND EVERY PATRIOTIC CITIZEN,
NO MATTER WHAT HIS FORMER PARTY AT
FILIATIONS, WILL REJOICE TO SEE so
TRAITOROUS A PARTY FINALLY ELIMI-
MATED FROM THE POLITICS OF THE MA
TON
1t is not necessary to remind the Senators and
the country of the very simple nature of the ques
tion before them.
If they abide by the pledge of their party, they
will uphold and refuse to repeal the free tolls law for
coastwise shipping to which their party platform
pledged them, and upon which this Democratic ad-
ministration was elected.
If they are faithful to the traditions of the
not permit selfish foreign interests to dictate to the
people what we shall do with our own property and
what we shall do with our own shipping and our
own waterways.
THE PANAMA CANAL IS A PART OF THE
COAST LINE OF THE UNITED STATES.
We have the same rights in that waterway as
we have in New York Harbor and in the Mississippi
River or in the Bay of San Francisco.
This country unselfshly has opened great
commercial pathway between the oceans saving
millions annually to foreign commercial fleets and
practically nothing to the United States which, to
it's disgrace, is without shipping.
We are told that the United States has no right
to substitute it's own ships through free tolls and
give American ships an advantage.
But there is no advantage to American ships
for no foreign vessel can compete in our coastwse
trade, or engage in it.
1t will not cost an English ship any heavier toll
if our coastwise ships go through free.
1t will not cost an English ship any less if our
own ship is taxed.
AS matter of fact, the treacherous plan to re-
peal the free tolls would make the American coast
wise ship practically the only ship using that canal
without subsidy"

The LIFE OF THE AND STA
WI Re Fault Woodrow Wilson Alone Party Crushed
Gone After the Next General Election The Responsibility Will Rest With the Senators
That May Prefer Patronage Their Duh Their Eg and the Public Interest

It is perfectly plain in the minds of every Sen
ator
No Senator demanded the repeal of that just,
free tolls law until Mr. Wilson heard from his pub
Usher Ambassador Page, that England did not ap-
prove of our course.
Bear in mind that it is not the English Govern
ment that protests It makes no difference to Eng
land whether or not our coastwise shipping, with
which England does not compete, pays tolls or goes
through free.
The British are pleased, of course to see weak
ness in our administration. They are delighted to
believe that we are relinquishing our Monroe Doc
trine, and in the words of Mr.. Wilson's publisher
the Ambassador, that 1--WE would like to enforce the
Monroe Doctrine if nobody objects"
The real opposition to free tolls in England
comes from those anxious to encourage vacillation
in the administration of this country, anxious to
gain foothold, right to dictate
Remember that those in England who now de-
mand free tolls have the impertnence to demand
also that the United States should leave that canal
unfortifed.
The opposition to the free tolls which Mr.. Page
represents is not that of the British Government
at all, but that Of aristocrats with whom he has
dined, to whose platitudes he has listened and who
are large owners of Canadian Pacific Railroad stock
the stock that fears free tolls and cheap freights
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The people of this country demand free tolls
and the building up of their coastwise shipping.
They demand lower freights, some real advan-
tage for this country for the spending of millions
of dollars on the canal
THE PEOPLE DEMAND ABOVE ALL
FIRM DECISION AND DETERMINATION BY
THE UNITED STATES TO RULE NOT ONLY
ALONG OUR OWN SHORES AND THE BOUN-
DIARIES OF THE PANAMA CANAL, BUT ON
THIS ENTIRE AMERICAN CONTINENT, AND
TO REFUSE ALL DICTATION.
We tell the Senators who have this matter in
their hands that they will either uphold the Mon
roe Doctrine, adhere to the pledges Of the Demo
cratic platform and legslate in accordance with the
will of the people, or legislate to please American
railroads, English holders of Canadian Pacific Rail
road stocks and few American snobs who delight
to honor the King.
The Senators will do their duty, keep their
pledges and refuse to submit to dictation upon this
canal matter; or they will cut their own Threats
politically and the throat of the Democratic party
and they and their party will deserve that fate if
they betray the people and their own political word
of honor

his flag in many battles and UNDER
stand he had the flag when he died.
The flag was presented to the COM

Dirt has been broke for the new
Methodist church here and good

NEW YORK LETTER
BY Norman.

BY Norman.
New York, Jan. 2o.-New York's
new system of police lamp alarms"
had fine testing-out a few nights
ago.
And the servants in a palatial
home on Park avenue had a fine
scare, followed by swell job of
cleaning-up.
And there wasn't any cause for
the alarm and the scare and the sub
sequent manual labor except an
imaginative woman seeing things"
It was about $50 of a misty,
mostly evening when the telephone
rang in the home of Mrs. Richard
Cambrill;' 80 Park avenue. The
housekeeper answered. Mrs. Cam
brill was dining out.
Are you having your roof re-
paired?" asked a woman's voice.
The housekeeper replied in the mega

your roof" said the voice, whose
owner explained that she lived across
the street and had for some time
been watching two men on the roof
of the Gambril home.
A hurried consultation was held
by the housekeeper, the butler,
couple of footmen, some maids and
a cook or two. None of the male
members of the corps was inclined
to visit the upper stories and see
what was doing, so the butler passed
the buck by calling up the police.
In that very neighborbood nice new
green lamps, on corner posts, have
just been installed as police signals.
The desk lieutenant who got the
alarm received it with job and
switched on the green glow. In few
seconds every lamp in the precinct
was flashing. In a few seconds more
policeman had teIephoned head
quarters, gotten the address of the
threatened premises and was dashing
thitherward. In his wake came a
flock Of reserves and reporters from
the station.
A pale but dignifed butler admitted
the army of rescue. Large, muddy
boots tramped over Mrs. CambriH's
thousand-dollar rugs and up her mar
BILE stairs. Nothing was found on the
top floor. The skylight had not been
tempered with. It was opened and
nothing was found on the roof The
large muddy boots tramped through
the house and found nothing.
At $50 p. m. housekeeper, but
Ter and some footmen and maids were
still busy endeavoring to erase the
traces left by the army of rescue.
They were weary and somewhat
peevish. But the new lamp alarm
had been tested and it had worked
fine. 80 j

CRAWFORD HANDS DOWN
DECISIONS THIS MORNING

Attorney General Crawford this
morning gave out opinions as follows:
Charles Gregory, police judge of Dal-
lar, was told that cities not having pro-
yided for the initiative and referendum
could exercise their rights under the
general laws Of the state.
j. ]. Morrow, major U. s. corps of
engineers, Portland, was informed that
the state land board was the proper
authority to grant rights of way over
the ocean beaches. The Legislature
passed an act making all shore lands on
the Pacific ocean, between high and
low tides, state highway, and the
county courts have no authority to
grant right Of way over it.
G. W. johnson, county treasurer of
Lakeview, was told that any state bank
may become depository for county
funds, upon making a proper showing
and filing sufficient bonds, and that
when it has done so he can lawfully de
posit county funds therein.
