It is no doubt best that the King

change and ever sharp struggle for

and steady addition to the ranks of
the ball PLAYERS, worthy aspinants

year comes to the East, that it comes
to the metropolis and to the National
League is gratifying in many ways.

The Panama Canal Tolls Vote


The vote of the United States SEN
ate exeinpting American vessels en-
gagged in the coastwise trade from
payment of Panama Canal tolls is not
an act of which the American people
will be proud The ethical question
involved is all the more painful be.
cause Of the technical color to the con-
tention Of the free tolls" people that
this country is not thereby repudiating
its solemn obligations entered into
with the world. But questions Of
honor are neither happily nor decently
resolved on technical points.
1t is true that foreign vessels al
ready are shut out of cur coastwise
trade by our existing navigation laws.
There would be no tolls discrimination
against them. therefore so far as con
Germs their possible competition with
our coastwise shipping. Our own yes
sells engaged in the foreign trade and
competing with the foreign ships
would be left on the same tolls basis
with them.
But when the United States Govern
ment bound itself to treat all nations
alike in respect Of the use Of the
Panama Canal there is no question
what the nations understood by this
agreement-that tolls should be the
same for all ships. And there is no
question how we shall be regarded by

the rest of the world if We default IN
what was taken by everybody to be
the solemn pledge Of the United
States.
Then there is the grotesque miscar-
rage OF relief to American shipping
in this tolls measure. 1t tosses rica
gift IS the very part of our shipping
which needs no protection from the al
ready excluded competition of for,
eigners. Because cur coastwse ship
ping as whole is monopoly by vir-
tue of it's immunity from foreign com
petition, it costs a great deal more IN
freight charges, in some instances
twice as much more, to make freight
shipment from New York to Portland.

ment from Europe to Portland. Ore

This very high freight charge by
American vessels in the monopoly
coastwise trade, as compared with
foreign trade freights by all vessels.
may not shock the American people
who wish to keep foreign competition
out of our coastwise carrying at any
price; but it will convinced them that
there is no desperate need OF relief
for such shipping measured against
the need of our vessels which co have
to meet the overseas competition of
the foreign vessels.
And a final touch of irony is added
to this situation in the thought that
obviously if the canal is to be made
to earn it's operating expenses our
hard pressed ships engaged in the
foreign trade going through the canal
will have to pay heavier tolls than be-
fore in proportion. as the more pros
porous ships in the coastwise trade
pay none at all.

Stipend for Festival

Ni "a LldAo I1Ei diQ-J
If stipends for fairs why not for
music festivals?
1t was pertinent question which
was asked of Gov. Baxter by Will
liam r. Chapman, founder of the
Maine Music Festival on the occasion
of the Silver Jubilee Monday noon at
the Falm outh.
For a great many years the deyel-
opment of agriculture through a
large number Of State and local ag-
ricultural organizations has been en-
couraged by stipends granted by the
Maine Legislature, Some of these
fairs really do excellent work in the
encouragement of agriculture while
others it is charged are by no means
bona dde agricultural affairs but de-
pend almost wholly for their interest
upon racing and midway attraction.
Manifestly, if there are to be stipends
for this purpose, the former class
should be aided and the latter should
not.
The encouragement of agriculture
through State aid to those institu-
tons that foster it's development ap-
pears to be recognised State prin-
ciple. If the encouragement of ag-
riculture through the fostering of
these fairs is a good thing why not
the encouragement Of music through
legislative aid to the Maine Music
festival?
The testimony OF all Of the speak.

Editorial Comment
Should Buy the Bermudas?
Chicago Tribune)

(CQICdSO lrlDuneJ
While the Bahama and other Brit
ish West Indian islands have COM
naercial and climatic justification as
part Of the British empire, the Ber-
nauda islands have not.
The BerTnudas are small coral reefs
which cannot even support human
life without artificially collecting the
rainfall into cisterns. Such trade as
they have is With the United States.
The Bermudas form q powerful
naval base on the west side of the
Atlantic ocean. a naval base with re-
lation only to the United States.
They form a base on which to de-
fend tina American coast line or from
which to ATTACH: it and blockade it..
They should be American, for they
have no other honest reasons fer
existence. TIE United states should
buy them With some Of the money
owed by Great Britain.
