An Important Political Issue.

The House promptly accepted the SEN
ate's amendment to the canal tolls DILL
As Mr.. Underwood declared. there was
no reason for delay. Unwilling to grant
the President in ''ungrudging measure
what he had asked, and attempting 70
square itself with an aroused public
sentiment threatening punishment at
the polls. the Senate had tackled on to
the House bill an inadequate safeguard
OF American rights, good IS far as 1t
went but not going far enough, reserv-
ing possible rights but not asserting any.
Mr.. Humphrey of Washington, an op-
ponent Of repeal, accepted the amend
ment in the spirit that was actuating
Mr. Underwood. So far as Congress was
concerned the issue was made up.
But in casting his vote Mr. Humphrey
said something of moment to both sides
This was that the legislation would pro-
mote the election of republican Presi-
dent and Congress, and that that Presi-
dent would call that Congress together
in special session, and that the Con-
gress would Immediately proceed to
wipe this un-American monstrosity from
the statute books"
Undoubtedly this matter will enter def
nitely now into our politics. We shall
hear it discussed in the coming con-
gressional campaign. and in the next
presidential campaign. Indeed. 1t may
become the paramount issue. Business
depression may pass Defects in the I'm
derwood tariff may be remedied without
great difficulty. If the new currency
law disappoints in action. that may be
changed. The trusts in some shape we
shall always have with us, and new
modes Of Stacking them will be required
from time to time.
But full American control of the Pan
anna canal is a definite proposition, ap-
pealing at once to the national pride and
to the national interests. And linked
with 1t is the proposition that our do
nestle policies should not be shaped un-
der foreign pressure Of any kind from
any source. We want the friendship Of
Great Britain. and indeed of all foreign
powers. but the American people will
never upon reflection consent to dicker
for It by the surrender of any of their
rights and privileges.
What the Baltimore convention said as
to canal tolls has been repudiated by
many democrats as unimportant- What
will the next democratic national con-
vention say on that subject? It will not
be possible to sneak in any canal de-
liverance at that meeting.

Advantage of Tottering.

A man there was who said his taste
Was not for resignation;
The epithets that he would waste
Produced some CONSERVATION.
But, as the words that he employed
Grew uglier and hotter.
We cried with feelings overjoyed.
Just watch that fellow totter!'
The rock that stands and braves the SEE
Must yield unto erosion.
The stoutest structure wrecked may be
By unforeseen explosion.
The sure-thing man finds, with regret,
An end to his enjoyment.
But he who totters seems to get
A "cinch" on his employment.

The Trust Question.

Now for the trust question. How shall
it be handled? And how long will it
take?
AS usual the House has been COM
placent. No trouble there when the
President makes known his wishes. The
committee on rules is at his service. and
the democratic majority in the chamber
is SO large many votes can be spared with
out imperiling White House program.
Speaker Clark and Mr.. Underwood
marshaled a goodly number against the
repeal of the canal tolls law, but the
President had his way.
But manipulating the Senate is a diff
ferent proposition. No gag can be applied
IN that body. The democratic majority is
small. When discussion is demanded it

Women Triumph in the South.

The women of Louisiana won a notable
victory. A bill had been introduced i'll
the legislature of that state to legaliZe
horse racing-and incidentally, to license
the bookmakers and sure-thing gamblers
who follow the noble race horse in his
rounds. Every sporting interest in the
south favored the measure, and ii had
besides, the aid of that section of the
commercial world which still imagines
that the free spending of successful gam
blers is good for business" But the
women beat it Though destitute of
voter, they descended on the Louisiana
legislature, and coaxed, persuaded, whee-
died and encouraged the solons to defeat
the obnoxious bill. Plainly, the women
of the south are as much interested in
public questions as their sisters north of
Mason and Dixon's line. 1t will cause
no surprise If the next recruit to the list
of suffrage states should come from
Dixie.

Home Rule for Bathing Suits.

From the Chicago Post
Home rule is a jewel. We appreciate
it when we observe the spots where we
haven't il. The power of the War De-
partment over the lake front, which has
been used so frequently for the benefit
of special privilege and to the detriment
of the people of Chicago now seeks to
decide for us whether the bathing cos
tunes on our beaches are decent OF
course, this Is none of the War Depart
ments business. 1t would simply be
sticking to the democratic doctrine of
Estates rights if it fatty admitted it.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 13.-Russian
army men would not be surprised if
the present war developed in Gen.
Radko Dimitrieff of Bulgaria one of
the great military leaders of the
time General Dimitrieff a few days
ago resigned as Bulgarian minister
ut St. Petersburg in order that he
might enter the Russian army as a
volunteer.
General Dimitrieff. who is the Lit
tie Napoleon" of Bulgaria, won his
laurels in the Balkan wars. He was
sent to Russia in 1880 at the age of
II to complete his military education,
having already served as a lieutenant
in the Roumelian militia. He return
ed home in time to participate in the
revolution of 1885.
In the subsequent war with Servia
he was appointed chief of staff of the
eastern army corps, and was present
at the battles of Dragoman Pass. Tsar-
ibrod and at the taking OF Pirot. For
gallant conduct at Prot he was deco
rated by Prince Alexander.
Dimitrieff showed his bias for Rus
STA early in his career. He was one
of clique of Bulgarian army officers
who, acting as puppets of Russian in
trigue. achieved the capture and ex-
pulsion of their ruler, but a counter
revolution which seized the reins from
this group ended in Prince Ferdinand
being placed on the throne. Dimit-
Tien was compelled to fee TO Russia,
where he remained until his pardon
in 1898.
On his return to Sofia he received
a commission in the Bulgarian army
and was advanced until, in 1904. he
became chief-of-staff. Subsequently
he was made major general. and in
the last Balkan war led the left wing
OF the army in its advance against
For his successful
leadership he became known as the
Hero OF Kirk Kilisseh."
Dimitrieff has had great success in .
training young officers. and the re ?
markabIe knowledge of tactics and .
strategy possessed by the Bulgarian
officers is attributed in no small de-
gree to him.

France that they must have large
supplies of cotton duck for army tents.
The cotton mills of this country will
be put under rush orders and will con-
sumo far more than usual of the cot

ferences will be the passage of legis-

tificates that viii be easily negotiable

producers TO hold their product.
