Many tiresome pages have been written about the Monroe Doctrine what it meant when 1t was promul- gated, how it has been administered and interpreted and what it means today. To make a long story short 1t is the same today 1t has always been. It asks European powers to refrain from making wars of con quest on the American hemisphere and to insure to every nation on that hemisphere the right to govern itself as it sees fit, and that request is put in such plain and forcible language that no nation on earth can misunderstood it.

Imf SENATE DEBATE ON CANAL Totls.

The debate on the canal tolls in the senate has shown that the ablest senators on the Republican side have thrown partizanship to the winds and are supporting Pres ident Wilson in his efforts to have the free toll provision repealed. Senators Burton of Ohio and Lodge of Massachusetts have both deliv- cred brilliant and statesmanlike speeches in support of the repeal. This question is really getting to be more of a tempest in a tea pot than anything else. Many people have not given it serious thought and are being misled by shallow dema- gogues who prefer to make their living with their jaws instead of work. The Panama canal, which will be opened to traffic in about three months, has cost Uncle Sam about $4oo,ooo,Ooo. If Uncle Sam should build railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific at a similar cost anyone would say he was insane if he allowed American locomotives to run over it free of toll, and yet that is about what it would amount to if we allowed American vessels to go through the canal free of tolls. The tolls on the eoast-wise shipping will amount to probably seven million dollars per year, as that is what is now es- timated to be the figures. There are very few people in the country who would willingly vote seven million dollars per year out of the U s. Treasury and into the pock- cts of the New York shipping trust. The only sensible way to operate the Panama Canal is to compel every ship of commerce to pay the same rate of toll, because the canal itself is a great blessing to any ship that can use it's privileges.

TIE OLD STORY.

Nearly every murderer who walks to the galloWs or the electric chair has a word or two of warning for young men who have not listened to the advice and pleading of their friends. No exception to this proceeding was the warning of 'Whitey Lewis" one of the four New York gunmen who met his death at Sing Sing recently. Be- fore preparing for the death pro- nounced upon him by the law he said:
 There are many boys who are we'll brought up and have good parents who do not look out for the company they get into. Bad com panv is the cause of their fall Keep away from bad company is the best message can send. What l said the other day about bad com pany. A fellow who honestly earns S6 week is better off than he who gets $1.OOO week if he does mol get it straight.
 There it is again. Bad company How many murders who have gone down to dishonored graves have uttered those words before? Ane how many boys with a disposition to break over the traces and get away from parental restraint really pay attention to the message which comes with regularity from the prisons of this country?

.BRIDGED THE CHASM
By WILLIAM O. STEVENS.

"Yessir, we've been bridgin' the bloody chasm today" Flushed with the conviviality of the Blue and Gray fraternization, stranger dropped thumpingly into chair at my table in the Monticello cafe.
 "Stiggins' my name, Pm c'mander of Winslow post up state," he re- sumed, engagingly, Hast time was down here to Norfolk 1 helped in the fust bridgin' of the chasm on record, that's why come all the way to this" My polite look of in quiry opened the flood gates wide. and the story flowed ripplingly.
 Well, sir, I enlisted November, '64, gets my bounty and calls myself Jones' Then right off the cap'n of our comp'ny was pickin' on me all the time. I stood it patient till one day, while I was settin under tree on picket duty, he come by. Then 1 gets up easy an give him a seeker on the jaw. He didn't wake up for two hours"
 Mr. Stiggins paused to ring for an other. high ball. The place was de- serted except for a lanky fellow in a broad felt hat whom noticed bending over the hotel register an hour be- fore, and who now seated himself at the adjoining table with his paper and cigar.
 Well, they jugged me for six months. and that prison was where we bridged the chasm, like 1 said. It was an old stone warehouse made over, an chock full. The room I was in-'bout ten by twenty-held four Yankees an six rebs, with a guard at the door. 'Twa'n't long before we got real friendly, an right off we begun layin' plans for escape. We all want ed to git out, an that was what Car roty called our bond of union. Car roty-we called him that because he had flannel-shirt hair-was a real smart Johnny Reb from South Caro- lima regiment sent up with the other prisoners from Roanoke. He was a spy and he was crazy to git out; uster talk looney bout his wife an kids.
 Now, he'd smuggled in 8 little Sheffield knife, an when he found that in the scuff1e of gitting me in they'd left my jack knife, he almost whooped. I give it to him an he took it of in corner. Then, settin' my blade against his blade, he pounded with loose brick till he'd saw-edged his'n. Next he saws on the iron bar in the window. It took four days to git through, an while he sawed he had us all round him singin' to cover the squeakin,' the Rebs whoopin' Bonnie Blue Flag an we four yellin' Red, White an Blue. The day guard was | Dutchman, an the noise give him such fits he kep' as fur from the door as he dared an plugged his ears.
 sNow, I was the strongest in the | bunch by whole lot, an when Car roty gone clean through he says, 'Stig gins'-he foun' Jones want my real name-'Stigins, we need your biceps on that bar, an only one man can git a holt to once. The next cloudy night, when the guard walks up the corridor, you bend the bar out, and as I'm the only death sentence here, I'll 1 skip out first; then you pull 1t back
