sugs,p,zlNe FOREIGN SHIPPING

Prof. Emory Johnson, the expert on the subject of the tonnage WHICH is likely to use the Panama canal who has given considerable study to al, the problems presented by 1t, tes- flied before the Senate commltlee that the annual cost of operation or the canal would be $29,25O,ooo. Ine figures he claims were furnished by Col. Goethals.
 Then he gave his estimate Of the amount of tonnage which would use the canal during the first year Of It's onerations. This he placed at l0,5OO,- 900 tons, of which 100000 tons would be coastwise shipping. On these figures he based his argument of the economic necessity of imposing tolls upon domestic commerce, in order to meet the operating expenses Of the canal.
 Now the tolls as actually fixed for vessels in the foreign trade are $l:20 per ton. This would bring the en- tire income of the canal, even if tolls are charged upon coastwise shipping, up to $12,6OO,O0O or nearly $17ooo,ooo less than the cost of operation. 1T American ships in the coastwise trade are exempt, the deficit will be $l,- 100000 more.
 Tn view of these figures, who gets the subsidy? The federal treasury will pay $11,4OO,OO0 more in operat- ing the canal for the benefit of for eign shipping than it receives as tolls from that foreign shipping. In oth- CT words, according to the theories of those who claim that freedom from tolls would operate as a subsidy to the coastwise shipping, the gov ernment of the United States Will subsidize foreign shipping to the amount of 11,400,000 annually, for it will be performing services for that foreign shipping which will cost it this much more than the foreign ships pay for the service.
 In other words, congress is per fectly willing to subsidize shipping under a foreign flag,' carrying the products of British Columbia to east ern markets at lower price than the similar goods manufactured in this state can be carried, but it re fuses to extend any favors to do mestic shipping. This is altruism gone mad.-Ex.

FANCY COIN IMPRACTICAL.
France Indorses Opinion of Designer of New Nickel Sous.

France Indorses Opinion of Designer of
 New Nickel Sous.
 France expects to have nickel sous (cents). two and five cent pieces. in cir culation before the year is over. al- though 1t is calculated that it will take ten years to replace all the bronze coins now in use. After various un- satisfactory attempts to obtain good design for the new nickel coinage competition was held which was won by Emile Lindauer, to whom the first prize of 10000 francs t$4.00W was awarded.
 The successful competitor sought to design a coin, not medal. "The hr- man figure" he says. Ifs out of place on a coin; it wears away, and an at tractive little figure soon becomes little more than a vague silhouette. That is why chose purely allegorical theme." ..,.
 The face of the new coin shows the letters R. F. (Republique Francaise). with Phrygian bonnet on the top, a wreath of oak and laurel surrounding them. The other side gives the repub- lies motto, Liberty. equality and fra ternity." the value of the coin and the date of issue.

ARMY AND NAVY PLAN TO
 COOPERATE IN MEXICO.
Soldiers and Sailors Prepared to En-
 force Washington's Demand.

Besides putting the United States in strong position to back up it's de- mands for a salute to the stars and stripes, the naval display in force at Tampico would dovetail into the plans for any military campaign that would grow out of necessity for armed inter- vention ill Mexico.
 There is every reason for the belief that Tampico. rather than Vera Cruz, would become the main base of opera tions by the navy in cooperation with the army. The difficulty about the Vera Cruz route to the City of Mexico is the fact that there is the famous mountain pass at Maltrata, through which any armed force would have to move while going from the coast to the 1 Mexican capital. It is sort of pass of Thermopylae, which can be held by a small force against superior odds. 1 Fort Sam Houston at San Antonio. 1 Tex. is the main base for the quarter master, commissary, ordnance and medical corps of the army as well as the training camp. Galveston would be the point of embarkation for such troops, mainly infantry, as might be ordered into the campaign around Tam pico. There are now about 12,OOO American troops concentrated in the vicinity of Galveston. These are near ly all infantrymen. There are about 1 1000 troops scattered along the Mexi- can border doing patrol duty. These are mainly cavalry, field artillery, en- gineers and members of the signal corps.
 l Within striking distance of the Mex ican border, therefore, is an available army force of about 19OOO men, leav- ing about 21.0OO men in army posts throughout the country. The largest garrisons are at Galveston, San An tonic, Fort Sill. and Texas City.
 The concentration points for any movement across the border would be Fort Bliss at Ei Paso. Fort Clark at Eagle Pass and Fort Mcintosh at La redo, and possibly Fort Brown at Brownsville. These points all have good railroad facilities.
 Galveston and New Orleans would probably be the points of embarkation for many of tbe volunteers.

ENTERTAINMENTS BU hNEll.
 Capacity to earn living is thus re- moved as possible excuse for the ad- mission of a mentally undesirable.
 A decided amplification of the scope and exhaustiveness of the psychiatric and psychopathic examination of in coming aliens is provided in section 16 of the bill. After setting forth the char acter of the training which the exam ming medical officers shall possess with view to insuring thoroughness in the examination. as in the Burnett bill, the senate committee has inserted this provision:
 "All aliens arriving at ports of the United States shall be examined by two such medical officers" which in- creases the insurance of thoroughness.
 Under the Burnett bill this medical examination was provided for all large ports of entry" The senate committee has stricken out the qualify ing large" The examination must be made wherever aliens may enter.
 The senate committee while endeav- bring to make the law more certain in it's provision for exclusion of the unde- sirable has shown humanitarian dis position along some other lines. It is provided that immigrants found to be suffering from tuberculosis in any form or any other loathsome or dan- gerous contagious disease other than that of a quarantinable nature must be at once deported. but the following leeway is given to the secretary of la- bor: y
 Unless the secretary of labor is sat- isfied that the existence of the disease could not have been detected by com petent medical exa1 lnation at the time of foreign debarkad lon and that to re fuse treatment would be inhuman or cause unusual hardship

 Washington.-The immigration bill as it emerged from the senate commit tee on immigration contains many new restrictive regulations in addition to the literacy test The changes include restrictions against the admission of aliens suffering from every form of mental ailment and from mental de- ficiency in any and every degree.
 In the bill as it passed the house under section there appeared the fol- lowing language:
 That the following classes of aliens shall be excluded from the United States: All idiots. imbeciles. feeble minded persons, epileptics, insane per- sons, persons who have had one or more attacks of insanity at any time previously"
 To this the senate added:
 Persons of constitutional psycho- pathic inferiority. persons with chronic alcoholism."
 The Burnett bill as it came from the committee excludes all who are certi- fled by the examining surgeons as "be- ing mentally or physically defective. such mental or physical defect being of a nature which may affect the abil- ity of such alien to earn living"

 BATHING sun ETIQUETTE.

The old quarrel with bathers who desert the beaches and patrol neigh boring streets in abbreviated cos tunes has broken out again with it's usual acerbity. Municipal authorities everywhere object to the practice on the score of immodesty. Fathers who delight to stray from the shore to refreshment stands and on uncalled for street parades contend that i'm modesty is not matter fixed by To- cality, and that costume good enough for the beach is sufferable elsewhere.
 Scant apparel is justifiable, under the law of modesty, only when it is a necessary appanage of a useful or necessary act. Hence the abbreviated costume of the beach is not meas ured by the necessities of street ap- parel. One who, scantily clad, should save. life, would not be chargeable with immodesty because the breach of modesty would be justified by the emergency, and the smaller offense would be lost sight of in the larger necessity.
 While knee pantalets and sleeveless shirts and bare feet are expected to be used on the beaches, where con- venience and utility demand their use, they would be plainly out of place on city streets, where custom has decreed more adequate costumes. What necessity places within the law of modesty on the beach is clearly fracture of the same law when talk en away from its natural and utili- tarian setting.
 The elementary rules of modesty and of good taste should be appar- ent to bathers everywhere without the necessity for police interference. The bather of adequate judgment will at least don bathrobe if obliged to go any distance from the beach, and with these the law should have no quar- rel. The parader. however. will find little sympathy with his viewpoint on the part of the general public. and no encouragement in law.-Ex.
