Wilson believes. But Mr. Wills 5n puts us in the position of surrenderirg g an asserted right because another dis putes 1t. and Mir. Lodge approves that course. That is not the way to win respect, confidence and friendship.

NOME. ALASKA, JUNE 16, 1915.

Senator Lodge holds that the Uni tde States has the right to exempt it. shipping, not only coastwise but for ciEn- going, from canal tolls but main tains that we should abandon tha right in order to overcome the dis trust and dislike of Europe. Conced ing that distrust and dislike exist. tho question arise whether they can b, overcome and whether the means pro- posed by President Wilson and ap proved by Mr. Lodge are the best.
 Distrust and dislike of this country in Europe are almost entirely con- iihed to the ruling aristocratic and official class. They spring from the inherent dislike champions of mon archE entertain for republics. They extend to France and have been dis played toward the young republic of Portugal. Those sentiments are no, shared by the masses of the people fin Europe, who view with pride the proo, furnished by the United States tha, monarchy and aristocracy are not es- sential to orderly government that the people are capable of ruling them serves without the aid of king and lords.
 The dislike and distrust of the rul- ing classes are inspired by the fun damental character of our institu- tons and by the sympathy we have shown to all who have attempte to supplant monarchy with similar in e stitutions. It is doubtful, therefor. whether they can be removed at all lhey cannot be removed by pussillani nous surrender of a right we have asserted. for that would only add con- tempt to those sentiments. By stead fastly maintaining our rights we should inspire respect and should then have made good beginning .o remove hostile feeling. For respect forms good foundation for trust and friendship, while contempt never does.
 MT. Lodge took high and solid ground when he opposed carrying par ty warfare into foreign affairs. One great need of this country is con- tinCity to foreign policy without re- gard to changes of administration. But Mir Wilson in the tolls contro- versy has done precisely what Mir. Lodge condemns. He found the ma tion committed by the preceding con- gress to certain policy. He found that policy challenged by foreign power as violating treaty and de Tended by the preceding administra- ton as conforming 10 that treaty. He found negotiations in progress for ar. bitration of the question. He could have continued those negotiations and

JAMES RIVER

ness Sad Scene.

Berlin. n. D.. July 25.-M. ". Low
EFT of Berlin was drowned in the
James river near Grand Rapids.
As a member Of a picnic party he
and a few of his companions had
sought a cooling dip in a deep pool
on the river just south of the picnic
grounds in the Cunningham grove.
Mark, who was but a fair swimmer,
became somewhat separated from
his companions and was swimming in
the center of the stream where the
banks made an abrupt turn. Here
was afterwards found to be a very
deep whirlpool with a strong suction
caused by the sharp bend Of the riv-
er. He was see to go down, and R.
G. Drlpps, who was nearest, swan
to his aid, INT directing the strug-
neck, succeeded in towing him sew
eral feet. toward safety where shall
low water overran a sandbar. When
only about ten feet distant from So
lid footing. Mr.. Lovett. evidently be-
l~ieving that he might touch bottom,
loosed his hold. but still in deep
water, sank, and did not again rise.
Mr.. Dripps, who had himself been
forced under water a couple times,
was nearly exhausted and barely
succeeded in reaching the sandbar
himself. John Knobel also made a
desperate effort to reach the two
men and reaching the whirlpool, was
himself sucked under by the treach-
erous undertow, so that he was saw
ed with difficulty by throwing to him
a fishpole and line which he caught
and by which he was pulled out to
safety. Some able swimmers in an
other party a short distance away
were summoned, and by dragging, the
body was finally recovered, but not
until after being submerged for an
hour and a half. A sad feature of
the distressing tragedy vas the fact
that the father and mother and bro
ther Of the deceased were eye wit
nesses at the time. 49,,
The remains were at once brought
to Berlin and preparations made for
the sad trip back to the boyhood
home of the departed. ,
