The announcement that the presi- dent did not seek action upon the question of Panama canal tolis at this session of congress, and that it might go over for consideration at anether session, is upset by the president mak ing clear his position and the prepara- tions for;the early consideration of th matter. This is not the first matter in which he has been threatened with opposition from his own party but the disposition on the part of congress and also the president in previous instances has been to get together and avoid a rupture. It is that which has been Tesponsible for the progress made by this administration and it remains to Dbe seen whether it is the immigration bill or the canal tolls upen which this harmony 1s to be wrecked. It is unquestionably true that if legislation is to be undertaken upon this question it should be done at this session of congress. It needs to be settled just what is to be expected concerning that subject. Before an- other session of congress could get un- derway vessels will be passing through the canal in regular traffic and whatever is to be accomplished or at- tempted in the way of repeal or com- promise should be off the boards be- fore that time. Like the curtailing of <ivil service this contempiated repeal of toll exemption is against the party platform and it remains to be seen ‘whether the president can bring con- gress to his view of the matter. The president is right, however, in insisting upon early action. It is time ail fea- tures of the matter were cleared up. AIDING THE FARMER. The completion the comunission country to the credit systems of named investigate unions and of Europe makes a fund of important use in conmection with n ber prodlems before this country present time. It reveal across the water the necessity ing with questions which are ing taken up here have been and methods adopted to It was for the purpose profiting through their experiences and ideas that the commission was put to work and there should be much food for thought and action in their report. With the need for increased produc- tion frém the land made in in this ountry and the existing fact that plenty of opportunity for in- ve farming the credit system which is used in Europe whereby farmers are able to get loans upon their property at low rates of interest is one which cannot fail to prove of interest here. If such a system is all that is required to aid the farmers and increase production, it offers a valuable suggestion and precedent from which to work. If all other classes of business men are properly cared for in the way of such institu- tions and the farmers are not, that task by this study banking available information and that of deal- now be- realized meet them. oversight when corrected ought to do | as much for this country as it has for others. That this large country does not raise practically all it con- sumes instead of looking to other countries may be attributed to the | existence of this handicap. If so the problem ought not to remain long un- solved, STAND BY AMENDMENT. ‘The merits of the cases presented in behaif of the senators from Mary- Jand and Alabama, Messrs. Lee and Glass, seem to have been viewed some- what differently by the members of the senate, though in recognition of the federal amendment providing that such an official shall be elected by the people, one is seated and the other is not. Senator Les was elected by the people at a spectal election, Mr, Glass ‘was appointed by the governor of his state on the claim that the old state law gave the governor the authority to fill & vacancy caused by death, Mr, Glass came very close to being approved, even though it would have been ugadmst the federal requirement, the vole being against him by only one, As the Springfield Republican states: “Mr. Glass of Alabama was not seated hecalise his ciaim rested entire- ly on the deubtful right of the gev- ernor of state to make an ap- pointment to the vacamcy.

FIRE PREVENTION. When the yearly fire loss through- out the country is reckoned it is only natural that it should awaken an in- creased interest in the importance and need of giving constant attention to protection against and prevention of conflagrations. By records for the past year the country's fire loss amounted to over two hundred million dollars, a slight decrease from the preceding year, but still an increase over five years ago of fifteen million. Just how much good the constant efforts in behalf of such protection Qoes is difficult of estimation, but the necessity of bringing fire dangers down to the minimum must be recognized as ane of the big problems of every cit There is no limit to which fire los would go if theré was not some such restraining influence. Lives and prop- erty are gradually being given added protection through a realization of the but it is only through con- stant attention, inspection, the awak- ening of responsibility by property owners and the lesson which every big fire offers that the desired results can be ined, and the enormous and needle: waste overcome. It is particularly in new and re- that the greatest benefit is likely to be shown. There can be no question in such instances of the value of prowiding against fire, while the ease with which some of the worst fires can be avoided offers suf- ficient reason for the adoption of a preventive policy by ownmer and occu- pant of existing buildings. The enor- mous loss each vear indicates that there is more money to burn than is realized or necessary. is construction work SATISFYING JAPAN. Various plans have been advanced for the settlement of the Japanes question but in view of the fact that he has lived in Japan and is acquaint- ed with their attitude and feeling, through his connection with & uni- versity in that empire, there is interest in the suggestion which has been advanced by Dr. Gul- lick concerning that matter. In con- firmation of many others who have expressed their opinions upon the sen- timent of the Japanese, he declares that it is not the desire of that coun- try that its peopie should emigrate here but that they cannot get over the idea that they are being discrim- a fact which hurts their pride and holds them up to the world as an object of inferiority. The u of those people has increased their self esteem and there is no doubt as to the Japanese eso. It is the suggestion of Dr. Gullick that this be satisfled but that restric- tions also Dbe enforced through the admission of only a small percentage, possibly five, of the total number of the native born of each country already living here as citizens. This would require reference to the census re- turns but it is apparent that it would admit very few of that nationality to the country, the number here now be- ing less than six thousand. It is apparent that the question must be handled diplomatically but the idea is one to which those who are concern- ed with the details will doubtless give full consideration Such would over- come discrimination and ht even meet the approval of the state of Cal- ifornia, EDITORIAL NOTES.

There are too many people of this kind and alweys will be, or the Holy Scriptures woald not have been used to transmit the admonition: Judge not. lest you be judged” It never does to take a healthy looking suspicion and let it convince you 1t is the truth. You may be in no danger of doing that, but there are lots of people who do this very thing every- day, doing great injustieb to those they suspect and no little harm to them- selves. Man is prone to complain of having a bad memory, but he seldom ‘ecomes conscious of his bad judge- ment which makes much more trouble in the world. It was Stanislaus who said: “It is hardly possible to sus- pect another without having in one’s self the seeds of the baseness the other is accused of.” We should al- ways bear In mind that our suspicions are seldom respectable, How is it men cannot argue upon any subject long without becoming personal and often abusive? In vocal or written arguments the peril is the same even among reputably well-bred people. As one takes a look into the long-ago it seems as if when the art of logic was created honesty fled from debate, hence it has come to be sald “men’s arguments prove nothing but their wishes.” It has been’ said of such persons as argue for victory in- stead of truth, that they have only one ally—the devil. Special pleaders are to be found every day arguing for a price against the inevitable notwith- standing James Russell Lowell warned them a generation ago that “instead of arguing against an east wind they'd better put on their overcoats.” Where a statement is clearly made the only use of an argument is to obscure the truth; and this is what thousands of men are paid for doing every day. This may show men are bad, but it also illustrates that bread and butter it not easily obtained. There is noth- ing that wrecks an argument like a bad temper. Confldence has been defined as the step-father of success; and since those who step with confidence sel- dom have time to sit down with despair, thls seems to be an acceptible affirmation. The reason nothing suc- ceeds like success is because success invites confidence. Confidence is the father of trust and trust is all that holds governments together. It is said that in the misty ages of the past when Faith and Hope were wedded Confidence was born, hence the line- age of Confidence must be recognized as of royal character. To get on in the worid we must have confidence in ourselves, confidence in God, confi- dence in man. Perhaps confidence is the golden cord which binds together earth and heaven. It seems to be all at can give the spirit of truth a liv- ing chance. Yet, it is not wise to confide in those who do not confide in us. It is only where men stand to- gether in confidence great resuits ean be expected. The reason the equality of all men cannot be established is because of the advantages of inequality. So far as we are able to discern nature is opposed to dead-levels simply because it does everyone good to do a little climbing. Americans do not believe in lords of whose parentage the Lord only knows, as DeFoe put it, but we have just as many if not more class lines than do the imperial govern- ments and, doubtless, as many in- defensible ones. It has been pointed out that “the social life that worships money or makes social distinction its aim, is, in spirit, an attempted aris- tocracy,” and America certainly has such an aristocracy; and perhaps, it is something just as good as the royal brand. These differences in life's so- cial conditions are what creates ambi- tion and the humblest to aspire for but they do not lead the goodness.

Our more remote ancestors lived in bondage of terror in a world peqpled not only by good, but by evil and ma- lignant spirits. One’ cannot ponder without immense compassion those long, barbarous or semi-civilized ages when mortals trembled before the primitive forces of nature—such as light, fire, wind, wave and earthquake. Personificd, veritable of men. In our these forces became often demons to harass the lives e we have peered into the secrels of nature und recognized the sway of natural law. The old supersti- tons no longer terrify us. The uai- verse has been found to be orderly in its working and not uafriendly to one Who uses it aright. And yet fear is by no means dead. We cannot afford to laugh at our brother in the dark ages with his ter- ror of spirits and witches. We our- selves are victims of fears that are quite as irrational. Muke & study of people about you and you are likely to discover that each one has some besetting fright to con- tend with. One may fear the dark, an- other the sight of blood, another a harmless mouse, another a trip on a train, another a voyage on the water. One fears a crowd, another solitude. Nor are weaklings the ones mainly affected. Jenny Lind, one of the fa- mous singers of the world, said that she could not face an audlence without stage fright. Marshall Ney, “bravest of the brave,” confessed that he never entered battle without trembling knees and a sinking heart. How many thousands cower before the thoght of that king of terrors— death! The prospect of the inevitable day when he must go to his long home is the black cloud in the sky of many a man’s happiness. The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews counted it as a blessed service of Jesus that he should “deliver them who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime sub- Jject to bondage". Deliverence from fear lies, at the start, in the way of resolutely grappling with it. On close examination our pet apprehensions may be seen to have no excuse whatever for being. A comet in the sky once threw whole nations | into spasms of terror. But modern as- | tronomers have taught us that a comet is no more alarming than the appear- ance of a new moon need be. Many of our fears evaporate on a closer view. But the main weapon against fear is a religious one. We must hold heartily to the faith that God lives and | that this is His universe. It does not | belong one quarter to God and three | quarters to the devil, as the medieval mind seemed to imagine. God absolutely.

Her fine voice was carefully cultivated under the best masters at home and abroad, but seldom heard in public, except when it could aid seme charitable enterprise, or cheer the in- mates of some hospital or home. Then, indeed, she stood ready and will- to help wherever she could. How eag- erly she was welcomed at such times!

The moss of selfishness, of love of money for its own sake, the feeling of superiority over others less favored the fondness of display fer the sake of evincing that superiority, all these were taken ‘away from them as the years rolled on, and they fully illus- trated the truth that a rolling stone may be made fit for the polished corn- er of the temple, instead of serving as a warning to those, who allow themselves to drift with changing mood from one vocation to another with no steady aim at self-improve- ment.
