The Repeal Bill
other langua ges

The passage of the free tolls repeal bill does indicate that the president has retained the control over the democrats of the that he exercised over those of the house. It has merely suited the purpose of the republican senators to serve the interests for which they have worked in the past and which have been clamorous for the repeal of the free tolls clause of the canal act At the time they, doubtless conceived that they could their party by putting the administration into hole.
 The president made it increasingly difficult for democratic senators to support his policy, much more difficult than it for the democrats of the house. So long he stood the ground that the exemption of American coastwise vessels from the payment of tolls in conravention of our treaty with Great Britain, many citizens of all parties were with him, for exgency could the viola tion of sacred treaty. It then comparatively easy for democrats to disregard their national plat form binding the party free tolls policy Invio- late platforms should be, no platform is sacred enough stand in way of carrying out previously made pledge to a neighbor.
 But when the president and his advisers be- urging the repeal of the clause on economic grounds proposing the surrender of a right to smooth our foreign relations. he began cutting the ground from beneath courageous and honest demo- cratic supporters. These could not be sufficient reasons for the violation of plank of the platform on which votes had been especially solicited It was that very plank that democratic campain orators, and newspapers, and the president himself had appealed the Americanism of voters
 The Simmons Norris amendment. which declares that do not waive the right to do what we have done, and what we have undone, is a decara- tion that we have temporarily surrendered some thing that belongs to Voters in the congress sional campaigns next fall and in the presidential campaign in 1916 will ask democratic candidates why they have done this.

Billy Sundays Version

People have a divided opinion regarding the language of Billy Sunday used in his nterpreta- tions of biblical anecdotes well of his general efficacy evangelist For instance, the follow ing by Mr. Sunday of the meeting, famous, between David and Goliath seems to de- from the impressiveness of the story We first heard it read before were able to read. The impressiveness of King James version is sacr- ficed to the extreme and violent modernity of Billy Sundays version:
 When David at the camp of the army next morning. Goliath. the big giant strutted out in front of the Philistne army and shouted at the other fellows: Come you mutts if you want anything of me, and get it! I'll give you what is coming to you!' And he strutted back and forth. David said to Saul: Who's that big stiff making all that noise out there?' That's Go lath, replied Saul. Well, why don't you go out and get him?" asked David. He does that every day" answered Saul. and he's got goat I'll go after him." said David, he put Sauls armor. which big that he looked like man in hand down suit four sizes too big for him. Nothing doing. said David he took the armor off and he went down to the brook and picked out smooth pebbles He put in his sling and went out and whrled it around his head and fired it the giant. The stone hit him the coco be- tween the lamps and he went to the mat for the count.
 Only this can be said in of Billy Sundays of that notable encounter It is put before a certain class of hearers a tongue that they grasp readily than if it presented in the quaint language of King James transators the language of the more modern Sawyers Translation But doubt very much whether attention to the Sacred Word won this way will be very lasting. We should certainly not like to hear Billy Sundays version of the Sermon the Mount
 It may be argued in behalf of the Sunday sion that it differs from the King James style mainly because language has increased in opu Bible was prepared the English tongue was yet waiting for enrichment by such words mutt" stiff person whom hold in contempt coco (the head) lamps (meaning eyes), and expressions hes got my goat hand downs (garments made expressly for the man who wears them distinct from the tailor made appareD, and went to the for the count Chat is, killed reduced of helplessness coma).
 One objection, if other, that may be offered to the Sunday version is that much of the language in it will not be permanent While great deal of what call slang becomes respectable and rinds it's way into the dictionary the great mass of it does It may survive for a season or more If we recall the slang of ten years ago, find that much of it is as obsolete many of the words of Chaucer. The of it now would excite rdicule and pity.

The Roosevelt Road

An early response is being made statement, in the nature of proposition by Charles S Fee, passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific Railroad company printed by The Republican the other day. MT. Fee said that if the road between Phoenix and Globe the Roosevelt dam put into proper shape and adequate accommodations were installed the Southern Pacific would such of its patrons desired make the trip that road. But under present conditions the com pany could so. Passengers would not be sub jected to the hardshps that would be imposed.
 This matter has been taken up by the board of trade which has been promised the good offices of the governor. Cooperation of the board of trade of Globe will be asked in project of mutual advantage It is hoped, and indeed expected, that assistance will be tent by the reclamation vice and the Water Users Association. and that a result the road will be put into excellent shape for transcontnental travellers
 Of the great benefit to this valley of routing passengers the road unnecessary speak. Most of those who would avail themselves of the journey would be men and means, desirous of seeing much possible of Arizona in a journey it.

TURKISH SHIP IS
SUNK By BRITISH
GOETHALS REPEATS
His Request That Naval Yes
sells Be Sent to the Panama
Canal Zone at Once.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-coloncl
Goethals, governor of the Panama
canal zone, today reiterated his re-
quest that two torpedo boat destroy
ers be sent to canal zone waters to
prevent violation OF neutrality
through the misuse of wireless and
the taking of supplies by belligerent
vessels.
Because Of the confidential nature
OF Colonel Goethals's despatch Secre-
tary Garrison declined to make 1t
public. He issued this statement:
The substance of the despatch Is
that in Colonel Goethals's judgment
the misuse Of radio communication
within canal waters and the preven-
ton Of the misuse of these waters as
base of supplies requires the pres
ence Of swift moving ships of the va
riety mentioned. Since the questions
involved require the consideration OF
the state and navy department, l
have taken the matter up with the
other departments and as soon as the
requirements are fully ascertained
proper action will be taken to meet
them"
Secretary Garrison declined to dis
cuss the situation in the canal zone or
to indicate which of the belligrents
was violating the neutrality OF the
United States.
