THE PANAMA CANM tolls questions comes to tint fore iigain. Yesterday the remission of tolls for V. S. ships iu cutt.stwise trade was approved by the senate committee. " Jlcports from Wash ingloii indicate such a measure will pass. Probably only one man in America could give a reason why this measure should not pass. That man is ex-l'resident Wilson. On August 24. 1912 the Panama Canal Act was passi'd exempting vessels' encased in coastwise trade from tolls, the exemption effect ing only United Slates ships, for only such ships may engagx- in coast wise trade. On March o, l'Jl-1. President AVrlson delivered a special address In congress in which he requested the repeal of this act. President Wilson pave no explicit reasons, lie dwell in reueralilies. Hut they were strong generalities, as the following conclusion of the ad tiress shows : "Wi? ouh'lit to revel-He our action without mining Ibc (iuchUou whether we are rlKht or wrong. I ask this of you lu sup port of Ihi? foreign policy of .lie administration. 1 shall not know how to deal with other matters if even greater delicacy and nearer eonsenuenee, if you do not grant It to me in ungrudging measure." As far as we lenow, just what the matters of greater delicacy and nearer consequence were, has never been announced, but apparently congress now believes they no longer exist. In this belief congress re turns to the situation in December, 19J1, when in his annual mes sage, President Tuft said : "f am confident the L'nlted t-'tatcB lias the power to relieve from tlio payment of tolls any part of our shipping that Congress deems wise. W'c own the canal. It w.ih our money that built it. We have the right to charge tolts for its use. These tolls must he the same to everyone: but when we are dealing with our own ships, tlio prac tice of many governments of subsidizing their own merchant ves sels is so well established that a subsidy equal to tolls, an equivalent remission of tolls can not be held to bo discrimination in the use of the canal. The practice in the iwx canal makes this (dear." In oilier words President Tal't held that tin; llay-Paunceforte I rent y, referred to equal treatment by the United States of all for eign vessels but did not refer to United States vessels. A majority of international lawyers have agreed with President Tal't, but the point raised by President Wilson still raises a doubt in (he minds of many people, and this doubt will probably remain, until it is known whether or not President Wilson's objections were found ed upon an impractical altruism or upon an enlightened statesman ship, involving questions of permanent, importance. If,, Rippl 4 Welt Mason S ml F LETHE OKIj'KT the symptoms of disease o'er which you're prone to cry alack, those signs of slringhalt iu your knees, and hints :f cricks along your back; forgetting all such things as these, you'll be surprised how high you stack. For brooding over ail ments dire may bring them to you, all iu line; far better hear the woodland choir, or catch a fish where streamlets shine; far better buy a whalebone lyre, mid turn out madrigals like mine. And talking of your divers ills is surely bound to make them worse; forget the doctor and his pills, the undertaker and his hearse, and walk along the sunlit hills,, and eluiut n glad anil grateful verse. He to the greatest age survives who doesn't let the briny pour, who romps and gambols with his wives, and shows his head is never sore; and if you talk of itch and hives, you only make yourself a bore. No dismal talkers are required in this, our mortal caravan; no lamentations are desired, no pro grams on the graveyard plan; forget the themes that make men tired, and be a sunbeam if you can.. Forget the grief of yesterday, forget the ache you had last night ; when people would be blithe and gny, the lonesome beefer is a fright; be juyful, and when dusk is gray, the boys will cry, ' (iood scout!. Sleep tight!" HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW? COMMUNICATIONS Inspirational Sunday School Meeting on Banks of River WHA"T O'BRIEN FAILED TO RELATE IN HIS BOOK3 (London Mail) Tho romance of South Sen iHland beaches Is overrated. You probably httvo formed your own Ideas or u, trop ical beach, but let mo disillusion you. Tho Coast lino of those empty looking Islands in thn southern seas Is gener ally a lot mora built over than the coast of Kent. Tho bench Is ono In terminable village street. Sometimes tho queer lonf-wiillcd, lour-thatchod huts, perching aloft on their bamboo legs, tiro side by side. Somel lines tliey stray a little apart, down along the strip of palm grove that fringes the ploture-btHiky sea. There are often lovely shells and fairy fans of coral along tho water Hue, but also there are always dead eats and fowls ami llshes and snakes and castaway vegetables and rotten fruit and scpialld banana skins by the million, and greasy ashes and charred fuel ami refuse from fishing nets, and sodden ancient rugs and decaying cocoimuts. All this stuff languidly follows tho title up and down, day lifter day, week after week, forever lolling along the water line. Peace? lint there la no peace for you. Swim and along In tho deeps, out by tho reef, sharp black fins signal a warning. (let nearer Inshnro and nightmare- purple jellyfish, with poi sonous sting, await your passing. And groups of vicious Utile yellow mid black banded sen snakes, basking on tho steaming surraco of tho water, scatter at your approach to pursue guerrilla tactics. S.ill nearer In, there Is the zone of stewing garbage, nud the coral rocl: under foot cuts like a Knife. The bench Itsdf Is unbearable. The glare of the hrncen sun half blinds yon, and to sit down Is like sitting on nn oven. A porcupine will never play. Tho group gathering held on last Sunday by flvo of tlio Sunday schools of tho American Sunday School Union was quite well nttondotl. Tho gather ing was held in n bountiful oalt grove Hour tlio llybee bridge. Tho folks who attended were from tlio several dllTeront Sunday school communities nud were mostly offlcetB, toachors and scholars of the Sunday schools. In tho morning tlio crowd was form ed into one largo Sunday school, the classes were taught by somo of the rural workers ami tho tlmo very pro lltahly spent In tho discussion of tile lesson. Following tho lesson It. (1. King, missionary of tlio American Sunday School Union, rend a loiter from Kev. V. 11. Smith of southern Mississippi, telling or tho splendid work ho Is doing among his own (Negro) people in tho south. Hev. Smith is a missionary nt the American Sunday School Union nud is supported by tho American Union Sunday Schools ot the Upper Const District (Oregon, Washington and Idaho). A very nice offering was taken for this southern missionary work. At tho noon hour the white linen was spread on the green gruss be neath the great oak tree and was soon loaded with good things to cat. All enjoyed this part of the day's program as the'y not only partook of tho gtsal things hut became better acquainted with those who are doing n liko work In other neighborhoods. In Iho afternoon the people enjoyed some congregational singing, led by Mrs. ti. K. Zimmerman of Sains Valley, after which Hev. Phelps, pastor ot the Methodist church of Talent, spoke on the iuiMrtanee of the Sunday school, especially cniphasi.ing the importance ot the rural Sunday school, as the large iereent of the leadership of America comes from the rural district, and ir we would have the future lea dership Christian, the rural communi ties must not be neglected. Kev. Lawrence, pastor of the Pros byloilun church of .Medford. then gave an Impressive senuou oil "The Straight and Narrow Way," at tho closo of which several stood up ex pressing their dosiro to bo Christians. Tho congregation In closing sung, "Cod lie With You Till Wo Moot Again."
