THE CANAL TOLLS.

! Again President Wilson will be
widely and vigorously supported in
his attitude touching the canal tolls
matter. says the st. Louis Times.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty is by no
means the best argument TO offer in
favor of placing American vessels on
a footing with the vessels OF other
countries in the matter OF charges.
Treaties ought TO be respected, OF
course; but in the event of an agree
ment which proves to have been ill
advised, there ought always to be a
way by which a nation might honor
ably put an end to a bad bargain.
In the matter of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, however, IL does not appear
that a bad bargain was made. and it
therefore should be held to simply be-
cause the word OF the nation has been
given.
But of far greater weight is the fact
that there is no reason why the
American government should make
any special concessions TO the steam
ship companies that will make use of
the canal.
The idea OF a protected industry,
or OF an industry being permitted to
ENJOY special privileges. is no longer
popular in the United States.
1t would not be the American peo-
pie who would reap profit from gen
erous dealing toward American vessels
at the expense of other vessels. II
would be the shipping interests.
Popular sentiment arrived at the
conclusion not long ago that a policy
by which American vessels should be
taxed equally with the ships of other
nations would be inimical 10 American
interests. II would be nothing of the
kind, of course. On the contrary, IL
would mean the revenues of the gov
eminent would be increased-that the
moneys available for public enter
prises would be increased.
Those industries which have enjoy
ed special advantages in the United
States have rarely acknowledged their
after they have grown
powerful. On the contrary, they have
employed their power to compel con-
tinued special advantages.
The president will find that he will
be supported by a rapidly growing sen
timent, in his unwillingness to break
faith with another nation in order to
bestow special benefits where none
is due

To bear my ills without complaining.
To press brave man should
For honors that are worth the gaining;
To seek no profits where 1 may
BY winning them bring grief to others,
To do some service day by day

To strive to be when each day dies

To ask no unearned applause,
To cross no river till reach It;
To always have a worthy cause.
To fearlessly and fairly preach it

MASONS CARE FOR THEIR OWN

ganization, says in his annual report
that it will not offer adequate facili-
ties for the accommodation of the
needs of the Masons of Cook county,
therefore the necessity of the proposed
new hospital.
If all other orders took as good care
of their members as do the Masons
the problem of helping the needy
would be much more easily solved, for
the American people are 'joiners" and
an astonishing number of them are
members of one or more fraternal or
CARNATIONS.
