STRAUS ARGUES FOR
TOLLS REPEAL Bill
Former Secretary Of Commerce
Says Action Is Necessary.

Washington, April 16--Repeal OF
the Panama tolls exemption was sup
ported before the senate canals com.
mittee by Oscar S. Straus, former sec
retary of commerce and labor.
He discussed the treaty situation,
adding that strong nation could af-
ford to correct mistakes.
Let us emphasize tnat our word is
as good as our bond" he said, "and
that our bond is not open to technical
construction or even to bubble, and
that we will fulfill it not only to the
letter, but in accord with broad, and
liberal spirit" .--.'
Mr. Straus contended that an ex.
emption would not profit consumers,
but coastwise vessels alone. ~
Former President Roosevelt, he
said, believed the exemption of coast
wise shipping did not violate treaty
obligations, but thought the question
should be submitted to arbitration.

ROUT OF VICE CUTS DISEASE
Closing of Chicagos Segregated Dis
trict Beneficial.

Chicago, April 16.-Since the clos.
ing of the city's segregated district
nearly two years ago there has been
reduction of $4,000 a year in the
number of cases of social diseases in
Chicago, according to report made
public by the Illinois Vigilance asso-
citation. Writ w. Hallam, secretary of
the association, compiled the report.
There probably were more than
$4,000 cases of disease traceable to
vice in Chicago in 1910," stated the
report. Nov, with the district fair.
Iy well closed, there are perhaps 65,-
coo cases year.
This shows reduction of $4,000
cases due to publicity, agitation and
law endorsements in the notorious
districts" The report was based on
information gathered from physicians.

"Coming Back"

No who has read history will be surprised that
PenrOse renOminated for senator by the republ-
primary in Pennsylvania and that Foraker seems
likely to have equal success in Ohio.
They correctly measure the dominant influence in
their paTty-the trusts, the money power, articulat
ed privilege.
Many worthy citizens in the habit of voting the
republican ticket oppose Standard Oil ownership OF
senators and will not vote to re-eect either Penrose
Foraker. Others, who protested two years ago by
voting for Il. r. ''as warming are more
ready, because of habit to accept whatever ''the par
ty' puts up
But back of all are the large number of men
much larger than is commonly realized-who really
want privilege protected.
History shows that the sway of privilege is the
al and its interruption the very unusual thing.
We err if we assume that it is easy to establish or
to maintain democracy. History teaches that it IS
the hardest thing in the world 1t involves strug-
gle which GIBBS and flows but never ends.

DOESN'T PROHIBIT.
ct" and DRY" Editor:

Wet" and Dry" Editor:
Prohibition is not new ques-
ton. 1t has been tried In sew
eral states of the Union, and the
people of Washington should be
guided by the experience of other
states. That is the only sure
guide. II prohibition fails to
reduce liquor drinking, then what
possible good can 1t accomplish?
United States statistics compil-
ed on this question proves that
liquor drinking has increased as
the country has been voted dry by
statute. The truth is that prohi-
bition creates drinkers and bottle
tipplers, and the states where pro-
hibition laws exist are merely de-
prived of regulation, revenue aud
payrolls.
