MAKING PANAMA Secretary Knox ISSUE PLAIN reduces the' dispute with England re garding the management of the Pana ma Canal to its lowest terms. In his reply to the British protest against the exemption of American coasting vessels from canal tolls the secre tary removes British fears on two essential points. Our coasting ves sels will not be allowed to carry their operations into foreign compe tive fields, and foreign shipping will not be called on to make up, in the shape of increased rates, the tolls remitted to United States vessels. If these disclaimers fail to meet Eng land's objections, a special commis sion is proposed to deal with the matters at issue. Thus the way is opened for a speedy and amicable settlement of all the points in dis pute between the two countries. This contemplates an adjustment in which only two parties will be rep resented, and it will be arranged by diplomatic processes and not through arbitration. The dispute will be handled by Great Britian and the United States alone, and the aid of neither The Hague Court nor any other tribunal will be invoked.

I mean that the world is adopting irom day to flay the customs and using the inventions of the country. Do not understand me to say that we are becoming any less Ger man or that the Italians are becoming the less Italian because of this. In the last analysis every nation will keep its peculiar attributes, and it is well that it should. The disappearance of racial characteristics would be unfortunate, but the GEEAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PROGRESS OF AMERICA ARE MAKING THEIR INFLUENCE FELT EV ERYWHERE. YOU HAVE IN AMERICA THE FOUNDATION FOR A GREAT AR TISTIC DEVELOPMENT. THE IDEA THAT BUSINESS THE DOLLAR IS THE ALL IMPORTANT THING IS, I BELIEVE, DYING OUT. YOU ARE BEGINNING TO BOAST OF YOUR CULTURE, OF YOUR ART, OF YOUR LITERATURE, AND THAT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE ALL THESE THINGS AND APPRECIATE THEM. It seems to me that your great land, with its diverse but yet com mon interests, should give the writer or artist A BROADER OUT LOOK than we have in Europe. V America is young yet, and you have not, until recently at least, had a leisure class that could devote it3 attention to these things. But I hear MOST ENCOURAGING REPORTS of the change in the last fifteen or twenty years. CUB v. . CHAUFFEO.

See DILLMAN &' HOWLAND would seem to the average unbiased person that the secretary's proposi tion is fair. Our own vessels have certain privileges in our coastwise trade, and these are not added to or diminished in the treatment ac corded to them in the canal. In that trade they will still have an un restricted field. But they will not compete with British or any other non-American vessels. ' The tolls which are proposed for all foreign shipping in the canal were adjusted by experts and are independent- of any favors which are allowed to our coasting vessels. They are lower than those by the Suez route, of which vessels owners do not complain One other mode of adjustment is offered to the British Government in case this one should be rejected, and that is to submit the dispute to a committee of inquiry, such as was provided for in the general Anglo American arbitration treaty drawn up over a year ago. That pact was amended in one or two points by the Senate, and then passed by that body but it was unacceptable to the presi dent in its modified form, and has not been handed to the British Govern ment for reciprocal action. If Eng land should decide to resort to this mode of settlement the treaty in its amended shape will be revived, and a general arbitration pact will be pushed on the expiration of the Hay Pauncefote treaty in June. It would seem that some of these propositions should be acceptable to England, and a settlement reached which will be agreeable to all parties. England, however, probably has some hope that a quicker way out of the diffi culty may be found in that proposed by Senator Root The New York statesman urges a repeal of the toll ships, thus placing them on a general level with the vessels of all the rest German Author, Winner of 1 , Nobel Prize r MORNING ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1913.'

PASSENGERS SHOULD BE A bill GIVEN DRINKING CUPS introduced by Mr. Belland of the lower house of the state Legislature provides that every firm, corporation, or business which" is engaged in carrying passengers for a distance of fifteen miles or more, shall furnish each passenger with a free drinking cup. This bill if passed will do a great deal of good and correct an evil that has grown out the law which dispos ed of th public drinking cup which was adopted at the last session of the Legislature. During the past two years persons traveling on the trains or boats have been forced to either go without water or to pay any way from a Dickie to twenty-five cents in order to obtain it. This tax which is a rich harvest to the newsboys is rather a heavy drain on the poorer classes and the public finds that while traveling water is an expensive lux ury. Many persons, either because they do not wish to bother themselves with providing a drinking cup, or because they are not financially able to pro cure one, do not drink the water on the trains and as a matter of course, the water if often found to be stale. The railroads or steamboat com panies can supply drinking cups for a small part of the cost at which the public must pay at the present time. Turkey and Spain allowed their navies to run down The moral is in plain sight. , f Arbitration seems to be just about as hard as any other form' of settling a controversy. Only the Young Turks propose to defy all Europe. The old ones prefer to ask one more time. Cold light has come to keep com pany with the tireless cooker.

(Editor of the Enterprise The uniting of the churches is a significant movement in present day society. It is not a result of compulsion from any source nor an invitation of other forms of united effort in the business or labor world It is not due to a lack of strength for the Protestant churches were never so strong injtheir history. It is rather a spontaneous and con certed uprising of Christian .peopla against a common , foe and for tne common defense. If is the social wrongs of the age that are arousing the heart and conscience of the church. It is a modern crusade against social injustice,'' and con scienceless greed which is sacrific ing little children to machinery wom en to the burdens of industry, men to excessive toil and, men, women and children to the ravages of alco holism, disease and poverty. What is the present duty of the church to the society which it seeks to redeem, what is the program of the modern church and what are the problems which Christian people in Oregon City can touch most helpfully"' and most efficiently? These are some of the questions which the pastor of the Congregational Church proposes to consider on the Sunday evenings of February. The topic on the first ev ening will be "Two Things the Christian Church Must Possess in Order ; to Succeed in its Social Mis sion." , -r GEORGE NELSON EDWARDS DID A WHALE SWALLOW JONAH? Some people are more troubled about Jonah than they are about their own immediate ancestors, or descendents for that mater. This ev eninv Dr. Milliken of the First Bap tist Church will endeavor to answer the question regarding Jonah and the whale, and tnei'dentally show the true value of the book of Jonah. In a short foreword before the morning sermon he will tell his 1 relation to the question of Sunday labor. The pastor invites questions upon matters that are of concern to the temporal and spiritual welfare of men, and will endeavor to answer them honestly, as he himself believes. This foreword will be the answer to such a ques tion. Gothio women. Gothic women in 539, Indignant at the treachery and folly of the men, contemptuouMl.v spat lu their faces.
