THE TRUTH ABOUT CANAL TOLLS

I storing our diplomatic relations tc
their former high standing and secur
ing the confidence of other powers in
our honesty and integrity would have
TO begin with making reparation to
Colombia, and constituting the canal
treaty in fair, or at least broader
way. II is admitted that there is room
for honest difference of opinion as to
the construction of this treaty, but
there is no difference of opinion in the
minds of foreign nations as to what
an honorable construction of the treaty
would mean.
II must be remembered that the
treaty of 1850, known as the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, bound the United states
government TO promise never to OBJ
tain or maintain for itself any exclu-
sive control over a ship canal across
the isthmus which connects North and
South America" Hay and Pauncefote
drew treaty to substitute this on
Feb. >. 1900, in which Great Britain
agreed to renounce the right to share
in the construction and maintenance
of the canal if the United States would
agree in guaranteeing the neutrality OF
the canal and would invite other ma
tions TO join in this guarantee. In
1901, the senate promised TO amend
this Pauncefote treaty by making
the United States solely responsible
for defending the treaty in time of
war. Here was a definite construction
which great Britain was to give up
and the price which was demanded
and which We promised was that the
y, al
was open to the use of all the world
on the same terms as Great Britain's
Suez canal was opened to the world.
This was understood by all the ma
lions of the world to include the ships
of the United States; otherwise there
would have been no consideration. 1t
was in Difference TO this International
opinion as to the meaning of the treaty
that the president asked congress to
repeal its legislation giving special
privileges to American coastwise ships. !
These reasons are considered sufficient |
for the course taken by the president. |
II is not necessary to go into matters !
of platform declarations nor to allude |
to the fact that the present law was |
put over by the crowd in congress |
which has always looked for special |
legislative favors for American ship |
ping interests: namely, what is known |
as the ship-subsidy crowd.
There are honest people on both /
sides of the controversy. but a large
of those who are raising the
false patriotism" issue against the /
president are men like Hearst and
O'Gorman, whose sole ambition is to
break down the administration of Will
son in all matters where it is genu-
nely progressive.

fined. surely there should be no hest
fancy about others adopting a like
course.
II is not a question OF cause, but of
effect What led up to the present de-
piorable conditions now existing bor-
derinE on a state OF war. is not TO be
discussed by people who love their
flag.
The flag has been insulted and the
American uniform assaulted. There
is but one course before the American
people-stand by their commander-in-
chief and avenge the wrong.
The Argus IL firm in the belief that
President Wilson's entire policy lead
ing up the existing crisis will be
INDICATED as events develop, and 1t
will be shown to the world that he has
been wise and Just at every stage OF
the proceedings. That he has been
patient and long suffering. none will
deny. That he has sought to avoid
conflict all will admit. The prompt
ness and frmness and determination
with which he has acted in the face OF
an affront TO the nation has awakened
the admiration OF the American peo-
pie.
From now on every patriot VIII stand
back OF him.

Turkish Smoking Pipes.

The 'hookah-' is a large tobacco pipe
much used in Turkey. Persia and other
eastern countries. 1t consists of two
bowls, one placed over the other. The
upper bowl contains the tobacco and is
connected by tube with the lower,
which is partially filed with water.
The connecting tube passes down into
the water. The stem. which is usually
a long flexible tube. is connected with
the air space above the water. and thus
the smoke must pass through the wa
