The bill repeating the clause of the
Panama canal act granting exemption
from tolls to American coastwise YES
sells using the canal. as amended by the
Simmons-Norris compromise. passed the
Senate last night by vote of 80 to 35
Notwithstanding the adoption of the
compromise amendment, which declares
that the United States yields no right it
may have under treaties with Great
Britain and Panama to discriminate in
favor of its merchant vessels using the
canal. the vote is considered a victory
for the President. It is true that thir-
teen republicans came to the aid of the
repeal forces and on the final roll call
voted for the bill Thirty-seven demo-
Gratis lined up for the measure behind
the President 1t was he who initiated
the fight for repeal that was finally sue
cessful.
The bill passed the House March 81
and was received by the Senate April l.
For a month it was considered in COM
mittee. and for many weeks it was de-
bated in the Senate. The extreme bitter
ness of the debate, particularly among
the democrats, has caused frequent pre-
dictions that the tolls question would
disrupt the party.

Sundry Amendments Defeated.

All attempts to amend the bill In any
way except by the Simmons-Norris COM
promise failed Senator Walshs amend
ment providing for submitting the matter
to the Supreme Court OF the United States
went down to defeat. Senator Norris and
Senator Sutherland refused to demand
action on their amendments looking to
arbitration of the tolls question when 1t
became evident that even the friends of
arbitration in the Senate would oppose
placing such an amendment on the bill.
One of the last amendments offered was
that of Senator Reed of Missouri, which
would have opened to foreign vessels the
American coastwise trade. This was de-
feated by vote of 81 to IL.
Eleven democrats. led by Senator
OGorman, fought consistently to the
end, and even an hour before the last
vote was taken they did not abandon
their efforts to amend the bill to meet
their views Of the manner in which
American rights in the canal and Amer
lean rights to exempt coastwise ship
ping from toll payment should be
guarded.
The Senate was weary with its long
grind of debate, its weary watching
for any attempt to gain a parliamentary
advantage and by the time the presid-
ing officer put the question for the pas
sage of the bill the oratory had died
down, the chamber was quiet and the
vote was taken with but little excite
ment.

Wants Road Bonds Issued

State Engineer Lamar Cobb held an informal talk with a number of business men and others interested in good roads. at the Citizens Bank Friday evening. He explained the req sons for the five million dollar bond issue for good roads over the state and made a favorable impression on those present.
 The routes of the proposed roads are fixed in the law in order that there will be on mis- take as to where the money is to be spent. The bond issue is to extend over a period of thirty years. and MT. Cobb claims it will reduce the taxes on the property of the state from year to year and at the same time give the people the benefit of good roads. -Coconino Sun.

That Prohibition Amendment
III. Efficiency.

III. Efficiency.
 Efficiency has become national watchword. In the modern con- tests of nations and races for supremacy every factor must be considered.
 In warfare the most intelligent and athletic people must win in the long run. Kaiser Wilhelm said to German naval cadets: ''The next war and the next sea battle demand sound nerves of you. Nerves will decide. These become undermined through all cohol, and from youth up by the use of alcohol, are endangered. That nation which consumes the least quantity of alcohol wins. v Sir Frederick Treves, a British authority has said: T was with the relief column that moved on to Ladysmith. It was an extreme ly trying time apart from the heat and the weather. See that column of 30.000 men. The first that dropped out were not the tall men nor the short men, but the drinkers, and they dropped out as clearly as if they had been labeled with a big letter on their backs" The present European war shows we must still breed men of military ability.
 Peace has her struggles no less than war. The nation of the largest efficiency will enjoy the richest blessings from commerce, manufacture and agrlculture. Now. that slow poison. alcohol, seriously reduces efficiency in physical powers and mental processes Athletes and ball players are generally re- quired to abstain from drink while in training. Prof. Durig, of Switzerland. experimented in mountain climbing and found that two glasses of beer in the morning reduced his mountain climbing ability about 16 per cent. Typesetting tests have showed a decreased ability of about 10 per cent from moderate drinking.
 Moderate use of alcohol im- pairs brain efficiency and reduces capacity for both perception and memory. Why should we license a traffic in a poison that even in moderate quantities reduces national efficiency and leads to serious loss both of material wealth and natural character.
 Respectfully,
 CARL M. Ross.

There will be no bread famine in the United States this year. The largest wheat crop in his tory has just been harvested, and according to the United States Department of Agricul- ture, the total production is ap- proximately 911, ,000, 900 bushels; nearly 15O.OOO. GOO bushels more than any previous crop produced in the United States. We have at least 25O. 900, 900 bushels of wheat which are not needed for consumption at home or for seed. The surplus production of the United States usually goes to Europe. but under present con- ditions caused by the European war, this cereal cannot cross the ocean. About 75, 900. 900 bushels have already been taken for ex- port but most of it is being held at the ports of departure. Con- ditions across the water are not so encouraging War in Europe tends to prevent the shipment of wheat from surplus European countries to those which need imports flor example--from Rus sia to France. and a famine there seems inevitable.

ZEIDER and SWEENEY
TO join FEDERALS?

Chicago, Jan. 24.-The effort of the
New York American league club to
secure the signatures of Catcher Ed
Sweeney and Inielder Rollie Zeider to
1914 contracts failed here yesterday.
Arthur Irwin, representing the New
York club management, had long in
Nterviews with Sweeney and Zeider but
neither came to terms and Irwin, it is
said, departed last night for Texas
without coming to any agreement
with them. 1t was rumored that both
players had left the fold of organized
baseball to accept fattering offers
from the Federal league but confrma-
ton of these rumors was lacking from
the magnates directly involved.
Organized baseball scored a point in
the wal for players by announcing
that Pitcher Lelivelt had signed with
the Cleveland Americans. This an
nouLtement was officially confirmed.
The growing strength of the Federal
league was discussed at the meeting
of the American association but no
formal action was made to combat the
encroachments of the new league. IF
any discussion of George Tebeau's
!layer-pool proposition came up, no
announcement was made of it.
The association appointed as a COM
mittee to draft it's playing schedule,
M. E. Cantillon of Minneapolis, George
Tebeau of Kansas City and O.. H.
Wathen of Louisville. This commit
tee will decide whether three or four
trips will be made by each club and
will report at the call of the league
president. Mr.. Wathen was elected
vice resident of the league.
President Chivington said no change
in the makeup Of the league was ex-
pected, in spite of reports that the To-
ledo franchise would be transferred to
Cincinnati, as a war measure against
ethe Federal league.
The league officials Forwarded the
pennant to Milwaukee and adjourned
subject to the call of the president.
1t was learned late last night that
the Fedora league leaders will meet in
Columbus next Monday to confer with
the Cincinnati people who want a
franchise.

BATTLE TONIGHT
FOR STATE TITLE

The first big championship battle
occurs tonight in the Fargo college
gym. The university team arrived to-
day and looks mighty good, and the
fans from Grand Forks declare that
they are here to take back Fargo's
scalp The game will be started to-
night at S:15. One of the local coaches
will oficiate.
In an interview today Coach Wat
klns appeared somewhat anxious about
tbs game, and rather uncertain as to
the lineup he will start. He said:
w will De UP against a hard prop
osition tonight, but l am hoping my
defense will work against the visitors.
We do not wish to start hard luck
stories, but the lineup will be badly
crippled by the absence Of Sim, who
a a bad knee. He has not been able
to use his knee since last Wednesday.
1 will probably start at forward Thorn
as, Torson, OF Haggart, who has been
working out some of late"
The Fargo college team went
through a basket shooting session last
night, after which Coach Watkins re-
viewed the faults Of the team, the
weakness shown in the last few weeks,
and emphasized his demands for to-
nights game.

CHICAGO FEDERALS
PAY A HUGE PRICE

Chicago, Jan. 24.-According to Of
ficials of the local federal league club
who signed a lease for the North
Side grounds, the terms of the ten
years, $4,000 annually for the second
ten years, and $40, 900 annually for the
remaining seventy-nine years. Mr..
Weeghman said in addition to the
Federal league plan stores would be
erected.
Signing of the lease for the new
park was the climax of an exciting
day at Federal league headquarters.
The first excitement was caused. when
a registered letter was offered for de-
livery bearing a return mark Of "W.
Killifer." 1t was supposed to be from
the Philadelphia catcher, who signed
with the Chicago Federals and then
switched back to the Philadelphia Ma
tionals after a missionary visit
from Business Manager Shettsline Of
the Phillies, who was in Chicago last
Saturday. The missive was supposed
to contain a certified check for $500
advance none which had been ad-
vanced to Killifer. go.
President .Weeghman refused to ac-
cept the registered letter and assert
ed that the case of Killifer was one
for the leagues legal adviser. This
confirmed the statement of President
Gilmore that the Independents would
seek remedy in courts of guilty where
players jumped an actual contract.

From the tap of the gong to the

doing most OF the leading. It was

casseIton Won Both.

Casselton, N. D., Jan. 24.-Two fast
basketball games were played at
Casselton Friday night.
The Casselton high school teams
met the Hunter teams on the Cassel-
ton floor.
Both games were hard fought. The
girls game resulted in a score of 6
to 20 in favor of the home team,
Marjorie Bell of Casselton shooting
seven baskets during the first half.
The boys game was also won by
the Casselton team through the
