WHO GOVERNS AMERICA?

At Ottawa yesterday, ex-president
Taft declared that the British are alb
solutely wrong on the free tolls is
sue.
He held that the exemption to
American ships in the coastwise trade
is equivalent to subsidy and that
Great Britain and other nations can
meet the United States "on the
equal terms" of the treaty by grant
ing subsidies to their own ships.
That is exactly what Great Brit
ain is doing at SWez with herNwn ships
and the language of the Suez treaty
is absolutely the same language as
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, nuder
which Great Britain objects to Ameri-
can free tolls at Panama. How can
Great Britain consistently object to
American free tolls at Panama when,
as owner of that canal, she prac-
tees free tolls policy at Suez her.
self and permits every other nation
to do the same thing?
/ Frthermdre, free tolls for oul;
ships in our own coastwise trade is
entirely our own affair. British ships
cannot engage in American coastwise
trade. They are forbidden from do
ing so by our navigation laws. Brit
ain has no more business in trying to
regulate our tolls on our coastwise
trade than we would have in trying
to regulate British navigation of the
Thames.
It is absurd to contend that the
United States has not the right to fix
the terms upon which an American
vessel carrying cargo from New York
or New Orleans to Portland or Taco
ma may pass through the Panama
canal. 1t is absurd to hold that un-
der any obligation of moral or stat
ute law, national or International.
Great Britain should have the right
to say what terms SHOULD or should
not be granted such a vessel.
We own the canal; we own the
ships, we own the ports, we own the
ca,.al zone; we own everythiny in
cident to the transaction.
Under such a status, if Great Brit
ain has right to fix our tolls, she ha,
a right TO fix tolls on the Mississippi.
If she has that right, the Ameri-
can president should abdicatc in IA
vor of King George and Tie Ame,i-
can CONGRESS- resign in favor of the
British Parliament.-Portland jour

Dear Editor:
Will You allow space in the OBJ
server for these few thoughts on
Rural Schools as they are with us
at present and what | feel they ought
to be, and hope they sometime may
be.
One may, and often does, so aecus-
tom himself to existing conditions
that he really accepts them as being
good and all, or nearly all that could
be desired, but when one looks beyond
his own community. or state, or eoun-
try, and allows his mind to open to
the conditions prevailing in some of
the older states, or better still, to
what is found in such countries as
Denmark. he realizes the utter incOn-
sistency, absolute impossibility of ev-
er reaching the excellent system.
Cooperation between home and
school, between parents and teach
er, as is found in that little limited

Laundry Lines.

Soaking in buttermilk overnight will
bleach clothes that have become vel
low.
After washing blankets and they
have dried beat them thoroughly with
an ordinary carpet beater. This makes
the wool light and soft again and gives
new appearance.
When ironing sprinkle powdered or
ris root under the ironing sheet. and
this imparts delicate perfume to the
freshly laundered clothing and fat lin
en- that is very agreeable.
