Botanic Garden Fence.

The removal has been ordered of the
long-familiar brick and iron fencing
around the Botanic Garden in prepara-
tion for the unveiling of the Grant me-
mortal. The inference from this is tha,
the completion and dedication of the
Grant monumental group draws close
The delay has run into the years. The
location Of the Grant monument on the
site selected was not generally approved
and was very vigorously disapproved by
n large body of expert opinion, but as
the final decision of those who had in
hand the location of this memorial was
in favor Of the Botanic Garden site. /,
will be well to have the group completed
and dedicated at an early date. With this
removal OF the brick wall and iron pick
cts, a Washington landmark of many
years standing will be blotted out, and
its removal recalls that the public fence
In Washington has nearly passed away.

The Senate and Canal Tolls.

II is 10 be assumed that the Senate
will not be hurried on the canal tolls
question. Not moment for mere delay.
but weeks if necessary for illuminating
debate. Only the resumption of our mill
tary activities in Mexico can subordinate
what has aroused the keenest interest in
this country and become of no small in
terest abroad.
Much good has resulted from tho hear
ings that were granted by the Senate
committee. The matter is less tense.
Out-and-outers are not so much in evil
dence. A spirit of compromise has been
engendered. Unconditional repeal is not
urged now as when the matter was be-
fore the House
The Simmons amendment does not con-
tain much. and contains that little rather
vaguely. but. in a way, it is concession
from the administrations side. 1t is an
admission that something, though vague,
on the subject of American rights in the
canal should accompany the act of tolls
repeal. Maybe in debate Mr.. Simmons
will clear up some doubts that exist as to
the substantially of his proposition.
Those doubts are likely to be expressed
in the debate.
The Walsh amendment, voted down in
committee. should be brought forward
and discussed in the Senate. 1t emhodies
the views of President Taft, who would
have been glad OF such a provision in the
free tolls Law he signed. Friends of free
tolls consider their case SO strong sub
mission Of it to the Supreme Court would

The Shields amendment, rejected in

and should be tried out in the Senate
That supports the assertion that under
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty We have the
right 10 exempt our coastwise shipping.
and that the Law exercising the exemp-
ton does not go beyond our right.
Congress and the country are much in
the dark as to the reasons influencing the
president in this matter. The question of
Tree tolls does not rest upon a PROPOSE
ton that exemption of our coastwise
shipping should be sustained now at all
hazards II the President is in a position
where free tolls if adhered to at this time
Will embarrass him and SO injure the
country in larger things at issue, and
which he must deal with, the people, If
taken into his confidence and convinced
Of his predicament will assist him. Like
him, they have the countrys interests
by and large very much at heart.
But they should know where he is, and
why he is there. AS they have done nc
dishonorable thing, they object to con
tossing dishonor. AS the canal is theirs
they want their right to control it estab-
iished beyond dispute And as the power
OF the great transcontinental railroads
American and Canadian. is monopolisti,
as TO freight rates. they want it broker
as speedily as it can be done without in
jury to larger matters that may have

Democracy and the Monroe Doctrine.

| Th. London Daily Express has doubts
| about the success OF mediation, ana con-
siders that the United States. in the mat
| ter of the whole Mexican business, Is IN
the middle of a bad fix. 1t says:
.EaIrope.s acceptance of the Monroe
doctrine. places a moral obligation ON
| America TO police the Spanish repubilcS.
but the NeXicanS have made IL abun-
dainty clear that Huerta is the man OF
| their choice. How can President wilson
drive Huerta from power without ad-
mitting that democracy won't always
| work.?
! Democracy has never been tried IN
! Mexico. Nothing properly so-called has
ever existed in that country. and is ap-
| solutely impossible today. The govern
ment of Diaz was no expression of de-
! mocracy. 1t was called through courtesy
a republican government, and its head
| through courtesy designated as president.
But it was in reality benevolent form
of oligarchy. and he the first and most
capable of the oligarchs. President Diaz
was recognized by all foreign govern
ments. and showed himself worthy of the
recognition. though not one of his COM
missions represented decision of the
whole people rendered at the polls.
The main point at present in the Mex
lean issue relates to the form of govern
ment best calculated to insure peace and
prosperity for Mexico. The name is
nothing: the thing is all. Great Britain
has a limited monarchy. but very lin
tied. and even that may disappear before
the first half of this century is over.
France has republic, but not on the
American plan. and it is now eNperienc-
ing a strain. Our own government Is
undergoing notifications which are CIV
ing some uneasiness at home. though the
nation will continue to do business at the
old stand and In the old name. We shall
continue to call ourselves. and to be, the
United States of America.
AS for the Monroe doctrine, we must
interpret that in our own way. Europe
has never accepted it, and would be glad
to see it disappear. Bismarck. speaking
at the time for Germany. called 1t a
dashed piece of American effrontery; and
when President Cleveland stood for it in
the case of Venezuela. Great Britain dis
sented. and in doing 50 had the sym
pathy of the great powers on the CONT
nent.
The piercing of the isthmus at Panama
Dy tne Cnlteu SldteS, anu the luCdlCuiStDle
Importance Of the canal to US in our new
scheme of national defense, give to the
Monroe doctrine more significance than
originally attached to it. II it had not
been promulgated, present conditions
would call the substance of it into being.
We should soon have a doctrine. bear
ing some Americans name, dealing with
the line of governmental development in
this hemisphere, and our right to speak
on the subject; and Europe would be
warned-not kindly requested. as Ambas-
sador Page would say-not to forget it.

Oh, let us all rejoice once more!
