FREE TOLLS FOR
AMERICAN SHIPPING
For several months we have
carefully studied every argu- .
ment that came to hand, both ,
for and against free tolls for
American shipping. It is im- i
possible for a mind constituted
such as is ours, to understand
why the American government
has not the right under any
treaty now in existanee, to
give American shipping the
benefit of free tolls if they so
desire. We have been near- j
ly in accord with President Wil
>on in every movement that he
has inaugurated up to the pres- 1
ent time. Just why he should
get off wrong on this question
\\e do not understand, .but that ;
he is wrong there can be no :
doubt. The right of the United
Siates to' grant free tolls to
her shipping if she sees fit
has been so thoroughly well j
supported by almost all of our !
leading statesmen that it actu- '
ally seems absurd for the Pres
ident to t^ke the position that
he now does in regard to this j
matter.
Equally absurd. and more
rediculous than his oosition on
the question of free tolls is the
position he and others take in
regard to the plank in the
National Democratic platform
in favor of free canal tolls. P
seems aximatie that there is
a weakness in every individual/
On no other ground can the
position of the President and a
considerable number of our j
Congressmen and Senators be I
accounted for. We trust that
our Western representatives
and senators wilT fight this
position to the finish. If the
United States government has
not the right to grant free tolls
under the Hay-Paunceforte
treaty, the sooner the treaty is
abrogaten and a new one made
in which they do have the right,
the better for the entire
country. In our judgement,
the continues is absurd, and
we trust sincerely that Con
gress will turn the President
down in this matter.
The Democratic party is on
trial and if it reverses it self in
this matter, the first, great mis
take will have been made by
the present Democratic admin
istration and Congress.

President Wilson is still sil
ting on the lid down in Mexico
and the danger of an explosior
is getting less.
•-fr—
Speaker Clark, addressing
guests at a banquet in Balti
more. declared, concerning
the Mexican policy of Presi
dent Wilson, .that "it is a first
rate time for us all to keep our
mouths shut.” Is this another
slam at his old friend, William
Bryan?

England's Great Little River.
One could hardly fancy an England
without the Thames. It Is the source,
the Inspiration, the participant. In go
much that distinguishes England's syl
van beauty. In the centuries that
have lived upon Its banks It has been
a potent factor in the civilization of
this island kingdom. It cuts In twain
and laves the burliest city In all the
world, a dark mass of human struc
ture impenetrably profound. It rides
a vast commerce from London to the
sea, and along Its jutting wharves
nights are often made darker with its
tragedies. Lears agone kings and
princes and tbp fairest women in the
land rode u|K>n Its tide In fnpcflpns of
state or In the idle pose of pleasure.
Those were the days of the garlanded
barge or the hooded galley foist,
which, gilding stealthily beneath the
Tower portcullis, lost another noble to
the world of politics and Intrigue.—
From “In Tbamesland."
Clement Moore's One Poem.
Just one poem was written by Clem
ent Clarke Moore, whose grave Is In
Trinity churchyard, at One Hundred
nnd Fifty-fifth street. Washington
heights. “ 'Twns the Night Before
Christinos" lives because It touches
now and has always-touched human
hearts. It was put Into an autograph
album In 1822 and published n couple
of years later without the consent of
the nnthor, who was professor of
Greek and Hebrew at Columbia col
lege and did not think it comported
with his dignity to write children’s
verse, pr. Moore died in 18C3 at the
ripe age of eighty-four. His fame as
a scholar Is lost His fatpe as the’ qij
thor of that one real poem will live
while the English language is spoken
and rend anywhere on earth.—Brook
