The Canal Tolls Debate.

With the progress of debate on the
canal tolls question there must come to
most Americans desire to know more
of the motives which inspired Presi-
dent Wilson's public proclamation of
his own complete change of position
and his dramatically earnest plea to
Congress to remove the exemption from
the payment of tolls by American coast
wise shipping. Brief, eloquent, and
pointed as his address to Congress was,
it contained nothing of argument, sim
ply confession that the President had
viewed the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in a
new light and that our national honor
and certain unspecihed and delicate for
eign negotiations demanded repeal of
the exemption.
From our own standpoint there is
but one Interpretation of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty and We can only ad-
mire the Presidents courage in admit
ting his early mistake and boldly tax
ing a stand on the side of truth as he
now sees it, in face of the storm of pro-
test and criticism which he knew must
come
We are not at all in sympathy with
those members of Congress of either
party who in debate would impute TO
President Wilson motives other than
those he has proclaimed. The speech
of Senator Jones yesterday added al
most nothing either to information or
argument on the subject. Accusing the
President of dogmatic assertion that
he is right he retorts with dogmatic
assertion Of the accuracy of his own
position.
The President undoubtedly would do
much to strengthen the stand he has
taken and make easier the repeal if he
could see his way clear to make sup
Elementary communication TO Congress,
or a public statement, giving some Of
the weighty arguments of which he is
surely possessed and clearing away the
much-discussed mystery of the closing
sentence of his former address.

ice of the bank, no matter how long OF
short his services may have been. 1t is
estimated that the lowest annuity paid
to a man employed in the bank for
twenty-five years will be $1,000. The
maximum is fixed at 5000. The dis
ability insurance and other features are
worked out with the same care.
Members o. Congress and officials
who are serious in their efforts to de-
wise a pension system for government
clerks should study the details of this
system adopted by the New York bank.
The result might well be the saving Of
the expense OF sending a commission
to Europe, as has been proposed, and
the saving of a year of time in putting
the government abreast with the cor
porations in the performance of hui
manitarian duty.

Declares Poor Children Have Been
Treated UnjustIy.

New Orleans. March 1S-WiIey II. Swift
OF Greensboro, n. c., told the delegates
to the tenth annual conference on child

given the poor child square deal In
the matter OF labor legislation. 'ouI

he said.
why is the South so far below stand

Southerners are not Indifferent to the
rights of childhood; perhaps we are VIC

circumstances over which We have not
had control AS successors to the civili-

there is a difference in children. that the
poor child was born to toll and should
