THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1914. MESSAGE PLEASES PRESS OF BRITAIN "Loftiness and Correctness" of Position Wins Praise Across Atlantic. PERFECT PHRASING NOTED President Declared to Have Taught 'Lesson That Sadly Wants Teach' Jng'' to World Kxposition Question Is Revived. LONDON', March 6. The Daily C . Cra.phic in an editorial this morning praises President Wilson's special mes sage to Congress urging the repeal of the clause of the Panama Canal act ex empting from the payment of tolls American coastwise shipping. "President Wilson yesterday afforded the United States and the larger world J outside." says the Graphic, . a "singu larly impressive Illustration of the - loftiness and correctness with which he interprets his duty as the chief mag istrate of the republic To do right and to do it loyally and generously, without quibble or hesitation, is a les son that sadly wants teaching to the ,t world of statesmanship, and President "Wilson has taught it with admirable effect." , Coincidence la Noted. The Times, in an editorial, says: "The striking message which Presi dent Wilson read to Congress yester- day, whatever Its practical results, will win him the approbation and respect of all that is best among the English speaking nations of the globe." The editorial points out that by a curious coincidence the message comes at the same time as the memorial to Parliament urging Premier Asquith to reconsider the government's refusal to participate in the Panama-Pacific Ex position. Message "Perfectly Phrased?' The Pally News styles the message -as one of the most perfectly phrased documents of modern times. The edito rial admits that the United States might have an abstract right not to Impose tolls on American coastwise shipping, just as Great Britain has the right to abstain from participation in the Panama-Pacific Kxposition, but that such actions would be mistakes. Great Britain's mistake with regard to the exposition, it adds, was shown by the memorial passed by Parliament Wednesday urging reconsideration of the decision not to participate, which was signed by men representing the greatest trading and manufacturing interests of the country.

Later I telegraphed him cancelling the date and suggested tonight as a better time to stage the matches, because of the absence of any university social func tions. I received no reply and thought the date cancelled." "Edgar Frank's failure to notify me of Walker's telegram is responsible for the ball-up,'" said Eddie O'Connell. "I am sorry it happened.
