Hon. Harden Brooks, of Noxu-

lacy for congress from the First
Congressional District in The
Weekly today, and has entered
the field against Hon. E. S. Can
dler, Jr., and other aspirants
who may announce. Mr.. Brooks
is thirty-six years old. His politi-
cal record is one term in the Mis-
sissippi Legislature, 1904-19O8.
and four years as District Attor-
ney Of the sixteenth judicial cir
cult, having still two years of the
term to serve. In the Legisla-
ture he made his mark as a man
of sound judgment. courage and
moral force, and withal is a bril-
liant speaker. As District Attor-
ney his exceptionally good record
will give him strength in the
counties of his judicial district,

ances of strong support from all

The President INDICATED.

After a bitter struggle, in which
some of the leaders of the Demo
cratic Party took a strong stand
against the presidents attitude to-
wards the repeal of the Panama
Canal tolls law, the House of Rep
resentativcs yesterday passed the
Sims repeal measure by a good ma
jority, says the New Orleans Plea
yune. Speaker Champ Clark and
Representative Underwood made
strong pleas aginst the passage OF
the bill, and other speakers de-
nounced the presidents attitude
as q surrender of the nation's SOW
ereignty to a foreign power. De-
spite the eloquence of the opposi'
ton, however, the presidents
VIEWS
All right. thinking people will
applaud President Wilson in his
efforts to have repealed the meas
ure granting exemption to Amerl-
can coastwise vessels from the Pan,
anna Canal tolls. This exemption
was Incorporated in the law in
compliance with the national
Democratic platform, which Presl'
dent Wilson himself supported
during his campaign and at the
time that the canal tolls measure
was passed. The president later
became convinced that to grant
exemption to American vessels
would be a violation of the provi
sions of the Hay auncefote treaty.
and, therefore, a serious breach O
international good faith. He ac
cordingly sent a special message t.
Congress urging the repeal of t. 4
exemption clause of the tolls bill
The opposition to the president
attitude in this matter is purel,
selfish. The opponents of the re
peal bill claim that as the cana
the interests of American shipping
should not be permitted to SUITE,
on account of q treaty entered int,
prior to the building of the canal.
They argue that the conditions
which the opening Of the canal in
1.-the near future will create could
not possibly have been anticipated.
1t is, nevertheless, a fact that
the clause of tie Hay. Pauncefot,
treaty, by which it was agreed
that the charges through the cana,
should be the same for vessels o.
all nations, was incorporated with
the full knowledge and consent O,
the negotiators on behalf of the
United States, and was ratified by
eSenate after a careful considera
tion of the draft of the treaty
We cannot, therefore, claim that
we were misled into agreeing to
something we did not understand,
That the deciding away of oul
right to exempt our own shipping
from canal tolls was q mistake
there can be no doubt, but having
pledged the honor and good faith
of the country to maintain the
treaty, there is no alternative but
to live up to our obligations.
The president has taken the
proper and honest stand in this
matter, and his frmness is worthy
of all praise.
