heavily, and we do not protest or interfere
The British Government pays heavy subsidy
to it's local mercantile marine, and we do not pro
test or dictate to England what she shall do.
Then, after we have spent hundreds of millions
to build canal, after we have put American inter
national shipping-the only kind that completes
with foreign shipping-on an even basis with all
other shipping, taxing our own international ship
ping as we tax that of England we are told that we
must not be permitted to use the canal that we have
built in our own way.
This country has submitted to undlgnlhed,
weak and Anglomaniac treaty makers
We have put our international mercantile ma
rine, without any subsidy, on the same plane as the
other international shipping which means that we
can not hope to build up that part of our marine.
We humbly ask permission to give free use of
the canal to our coastwise shipping only.
We desire that the inhabitants of the East and
the West the extreme Northwest and the extreme
Northeast, and all the intervening territory, shall
have the benefit of cheap freights and free use OF
the canal.
We ask permission to use that canal as means
of limiting the extortions of the transcontinental
railroads
We are told by Great Britain and by some of
our own Senators and by the President OF the

wav in spite of the fact that the free tolls law
exists and was passed without any opposition on the
part of foreign countries until Mr.. Wilson's pub
Usher was made Ambassador to England, in spite of
the fact that the Democratic party and the Demo
cratic platform the whole people of the country and
Mr. Wilson himself Endorsed the free tolls idea be-
fore election.
It is very serious thing for a nation like the
United States to display pusillanimity and vacllla
ton in international questions.
Every American, regardless of personal in
terest, is Inundated by the attitude Of our admins
tration in foreign affairs.
We are told that foreign vessel shall not use
our own canal except by paying toll.
And a few weeks later we are told of treaty
which will give to Central American republic the
right to ship petroleum and coal through the canal
free of charge.
Does any sane man doubt that the coal and oil
interests are represented in this decision just the
English aristocrats with their millions in the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad stocks, represented in the
protest against free use of the canal by American
coastwise shipping?
The matter must be plain in the minds of all
citizens.

The Senators of the United States, dealing as
they do with the most earnest convictions OF the
American nation, with the most valuable asset OF
that nation the right to home government without
foreign interference, carry upon their shoulders
heavy load of responsibility and duty
The recent elections in New Jersey and Massa
chusetts have shown the temper of the people, and
that temper is shown in thousands of protests from
all over the United States.
This newspaper reminds Democratic Senators
and others whose mind is on patronage that three
years is not very long time; those years will soon
pass
Let the Senators think of what will happen
three years from now as they act wisely foolishly
The success of the Democratic party at the next
election, and more than that the very life of the
party is at stake in this decision now in the hands
of the Senate in regard to the free tolls law.
It is true that the Democratic party and all
other political parties that the nation has ever
known are less important than the fundamental
principle involved-the question as to whether or
not this nation has right to attend to its own af
fairs to regulate it's own waterways, to make laws
based upon the Monroe Doctrine, and although less
important give to the people of the United States
a just return for the spending of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars by the people.
Far more important than the State of any
Democratic Senator or Presidential candidate, or
the Democratic party itself is the fundamental
question of North American government by
North American nation.
But Senators, thinking of patronage and their
own welfare, and bending to the will that dis
tributes patronage, may heed most readily an APP
peal based upon their own and their party in
terests.
We ask them to bear these facts in mind, re
membering that the existence of their party and
their own political life depends upon their decision

After the Next General Election The Responsibility Will {cd Win the Senators
That Prefer Patronage Their D Their Party and the Public Interest

It is perfectly plain IN the minds OF every Sen
ator.
No Senator demanded the repeal of that just,
free tolls law until Mr. Wilson heard from his pub
Usher, Ambassador Page, that England did not ap-
prove of our course.
Bear in mind that it is not the English Govern
ment that protests. It makes no difference to Eng
land whether or not our coastwse shipping, with
which England does not compete pays tolls or goes
through free.
The British are pleased, of course, to see weak
ness in our administration. They are delighted to
believe that we are relinquishing our Monroe Doc
trine, and in the words of Mr.. Wilson's publisher,
the Ambassador that we would like to enforce the
Monroe Doctrine if nobody objects"
The real opposition to free tolls in England
comes from those anxious to encourage vacillation
in the administration Of this country anxious to
gain foothold, right to dictate.
Remember that those in England who now de-
mand free tolls have the impertinence to demand
also that the United States should leave that canal
unfortifed.
The opposition to the free tolls, which Mr.. Page
represents is not that of the British Government
at all, but that of aristocrats with whom he has
dined, to whose patitudes he has listened and who
are large owners of Canadian Pacific Railroad stock

from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The people of this country demand free tolls
and the building up of their coastwise shipping.
They demand lower freights, some real advan-
tage for this country for the spending of millions
of dollars on the canal
THE PEOPLE DEMAND ABOVE ALL
FIRM DECISION AND DETERMINATION BY
THE UNITED STATES TO RULE NOT ONLY
ALONG OUR OWN SHORES AND THE BOUN-
DIARIES OF THE PANAMA CANAL, BUT ON
THIS ENTIRE AMERICAN CONTINENT, AND
TO REFUSE ALL DICTATION.
We tell the Senators who have this matter in
their hands that they will either uphold the Mon
roe Doctrine, adhere to the pledges of the Demo
cratic platform and egslate in accordance with the
will of the people, or egisate to please American
railroads. English holders of Canadian Pacific Rail

The Senators will do their duty, keep their
pledges and refuse to submit to dictaton upon this

PATRONAGE SEEKING SENATORS WHO RE
FUSE TO HEED THE WARNING OF THE CIT
IZENS, AND PREFER TO SACRIFICE THE
PARTY AND THE COUNTRY TO THEIR
GREED FOR PATRONAGE.
THE MERE ABANDONMENT OF WILSON
AT THE NEXT ELECTION WILL NOT SAVE
THE PARTY, FOR 1T WILL NOT BE WILSON
ALONE WHO WILL HAVE BETRAYED HIS
TRUST, BUT THE WHOLE DEMOCRATIC OR
GANIZATION WHICH HAS BEEN FAITH
LESS THE OUTRAGED VOTERS OF THIS
COUNTRY WILL DEFEAT, AND NOT ONLY
DEFEAT BUT DESTROY, THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY, AND EVERY PATRIOTIC CITIZEN,
NO MATTER WHAT HIS FORMER PARTY AT
FILIATIONS WILL REJOICE TO SEE so
TRAITOROUS PARTY FINALLY ELIMI-
MATED FROM THE POLITICS OF THE MA
TON
It is not necessary to remind the Senators and
the country of the very simple nature Of the ques
ton before them.
If they abide by the pledge of their party, they
will uphold and refuse to repeal the free tolls law for
coastwise shipping to which their party platform
pledged them, and upon which this Democratic adj
ministration was elected.
If they are faithful to the traditions of the
United States ana the monroe OOcJr1ne, Jney Will
not permit selfish foreign interests to dictate to the
people what we shall do with our own property and
what we shall do with our own shipping and our
own waterways.
THE PANAMA CANAL is A PART OF THE
COAST LINE OF THE UNITED STATES.
We have the same rights in that waterway as
we have in New York Harbor and in the Mississippi
River, or in the Bay of San Francisco.
This country unselfshly has opened great
commercial pathway between the oceans, saving
millions annually to foreign commercial fleets and
practically nothing to the United States which, to
it's disgrace, is without shipping
We are told that the United States has no right
to subsidize it's own ships through free tolls and
give American ships an advantage.
But there is no advantage to American ships,
for no foreign vessel can compete in our coastwise
trade, or engage in it.
It will not cost an English ship any heavier toll
if our coastwise ships go through free.
1t will not cost an English ship any less if our
own ship is taxed.
AS a matter of fact, the treacherous plan to re
peal the free tolls would make the American coast
wise ship practically the only ship using that canal
without a subsidy"

10 Dance Craze Passing?

New York, August 7.-Everybody
has been kept busy trying to fix
the exact date on which the rapidly
passing dance craze will really have
expired. But II there be any marked
abatement In the dance craze Just at
present. II is not reflected In the pro-
grams presented day after day In our
dancing palaces and show houses. AT
the Palace new dance numbers are
put on each week. three or four on a
bill, and each receive its full quota OF
applause. At the beaches, at the sum
mer resorts and at the hotels. no one
ever suggests anything else than
dancing by way OF diversion. Through
out the city there are now more dane
ing parlors and greater number OF
instructors than have been found A..
any previous time. And the instruct.
ors are sure the craze is not passing.
only changing. From the tango and
dip which everyone danced in the ear.
ly Spring the people have turned to
more graceful steps and postures and
the up-to-date dancing Is really be.
coming the poetry Of motion. One Of
the latest variations conceived Is the
waltz aviation" In which the out
stretched arms OF the couple as they
dip, rise and sway give the impression
OF the wings OF the aeroplane.
