PANAMA CANAL REVENUES.
The bonds for the payment of the cost of the Panama canal
were issued to become due in fifty years. The tolls on the canal
should annually be adjusted so as to be just sufficient to meet
expenses and repairs, pay the interest and supply a sinking
fund which will meet the bonds when due. Of course, the above
means when the nations and with them the world’s commerce
are restored to a normal condition, and the canal is perfected—
the slides in the big cut finally subdued and the canal properly
fortified.
What we mean is that the United States should never hold
the canal as a source of revenue, as the Suez canal is held. The
Suez canal is owned by an incorporated company, and its shares
are dealt in. The Panama canal is a monument to our nation,
built for the benefit of the world’s commerce.

AN ALASKAN EXPOSITION.
Alaska is to have an exposition. It is already planning it
and has set the date—early in the summer of 1917, when Alaska
will be fifty years old as an American territory, it having been
acquired in 1867.
The idea is not altogether to attract tourists to Alaska as
visitors. The Alaskans want to get them there so that they
may see the resources and possibilities of the territory in the
hope that some of them will become settlers.
Such an exposition will prove sufficiently attractive to over
come th ehandicap—so far as the east is concerned—of a rather
long and somewhat expensive journey.
The public is at last beginning to know more about Alaska,
to realize that it is not a cold, desolate land, but q magnificient
empire much of which has a climate as good or better than that
along the northern Atlantic seaboard. It is being /'ailed a
wonderland, as it is, and curiosity concerning it will take many
a tourist there when the exposition is held.—Schenectady, (N.
W.) Gazette.

WHAT WOULD COME WITH PEACE?
Should a truce be agreed to between the warning powers
beyond the sea, then the present administration and the party
behind it in the United States would have something to be most
anxious about.
The shipping of war material would suddenly cease; the
attention of the people at home would be turned to our affairs,
and the question of what is being done and in what direction is
it leading toward, wopkl be a pertinent one. Next year is to be
a presidential election year, and' sharp men are already making
rhe case for and against the party in power. What has been the
effect of the present free trade law upon the country? What
about a merchant marine?
Have there been sins of omission and commission by those
in power? What legislation can be looked for when congress
meets?
On this big range called the United States are any fences
needed to keep out the hunry stock of outsiders? What is the
state of those industries that give surplus laboring men employ
ment?
There are a great many of these questions to be threshed
out and should peace suddenly come beyond the sea, these
questions would' come to the front in a day. They would be all
the more urgent with the natural depression that would come
were the war to close and they should make those in power in
our country especially anxious.
-:o:
feDITORlAL COMMENTS.
Too many folks are content to win victories regardless of
the methods they employ.
No man realizes just how insignificant he is until he gets
into a large-sized crowd.
A New York newspaper accounts for Germany’s alleged'
desire for peace by saying that she wants the game called in the
fifth inning when she is two runs ahead. But how about that
reported beer drouth?
Bernhardt, coming with a wooden leg, in tights, to play
Rosalind! Lady Macbeth in bare legs, King Lear in tweeds,
Charley Chaplin in steel armor—all together scarcely would
equal Sarah, the divine, with willow limb cosily embraced in
thin silk. It will be the most comical, and yet the most patheic
farewell tour in stage history.
The dispatches from one point declare that Turkey has the
pip, while from another source comes the report that Turkey
and Bulgaria have clasped hands and are going down the line i
together. You can, for the moment, take your choice and con- i
jeeture while the conjecturing is not embarraped by established i
fact. In any event there is going to be more fighting.
