make a list of the various speakers and try to discover who is talking. And for what is said, no doubt, the speakers, in so far as they are worth attention, will be held accountable. Mr. Morgan methods seem to have a little outlived their usefulness, but his reputation extended over forty years, and though it was associated with large profits—too large, prob- ably—it was not the reputation of 2 wrecker of corporations. .r seems the President has come out in favor of getting rid of the pro- vision for free tolls for American ships in the Panama Canal. The back- ers of that provision do not wish to submit it to arbitration. At this writing there are a number of arbitration treaties, renewals and new ones, wait- ing to pass the Senate. Under the pro- posed treaty with England such matters as this of canal tolls would be arbi- trated, and objection to that arbitration has kept all these treaties back. To our mind the privilege of being the final judge of our position in the SPECIAL DELIVERY “SO LONG, MISTER. WE GOT TO GO HOME NOW, BUT WE'LL BE BACK AFTER DINNER” matter of the canal tolls does not seem very important. If we have money to give for the encouragement of Amer- ican shipping we can always find a way to give it which will not conflict with any treaty that we may have with any- one The waiting treaties embody many pious hopes of our good Secre- tary Bryan. Let them through, Breth- ren of the Senate, let them through. HE crisis in the case of sick Mexico is still deferred. There is a good deal of anxiety about the con- dition of the patient; temperature still high; little nourishment retained; a good deal of delirium; all the symp- toms about as bad as can be, and no great confidence in the constitution of the patient. Outside critics say the treatment has been wrong. Some would change it. Others favor notice of constructive decease and a strong movement over the border to embalm the remains. Neither of these proposals has any serious popular support. Friends of the patient hereabouts continue to ex- pect the retirement of Dr. Huerta from the case, and the engagement of Dr. Carranza, with possible advantage from calling in Dr. Wilson in con- sultation. GREAT saving of money and administrative labor has been ac- complished by the arrangement between. Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which pro- vides that a large part of the funds of the large McKay bequest to Har- vard for technological instruction shall support the instruction now given at the Institute of Technology instead of duplicating it. It was a difficult matter to arrange, having due regard for the intentions of the testator, and the obligations of each institution to itself. The first attempt broke down because it planned for a degree of merger that clashed with the sentiment of the Tech. graduates. As now accomplished, and apparently lawful and satisfactory, it seems an admirable and most exem- plary and intelligent piece of work. The lion with the lamb lies there, And neither one inside; The Harvards skip a lot of care, The Techs conserve their pride. Instead of spending heaps of dough Each other’s weal to check, The Techs at Tech to Harvard go, The Harvards tech at Tech. comicbooks.com
