.viyruti H .« kof to Sharp is a lawyer, ntanufa id is serving his third terra in ct The report of Secretary of Treat,,../ McAdoo show that the revenue for the past year will exceed the expenses by thirty miUfoß dollars, a splendid showing for the first year under the| changes caused by the new tariff law The excess will be absorbed by Panama canal payments as it was last year. Congress has accepted the senate amendments to the Panama canal act, repealing the clause width exempts American coastwise ships from paying toll. A long and bitter fight ended yesterday when congress confirmed the action of the senate by a vote of £l6 to 71. That wonderful vote In support of President Wilson’s views signifies a change of opinion and the same change is noticeable over ths country. Though at first there was considers hie objection to the proposed change, a study of the situation has caused most people to agree with the president. That future generations will endorse his work is believed. The president will probably sign the bill .Monday. Peace with Mexico seems assured, the delegates from the United States and from Huerta's government having formally signed their names to the first protocol of the series through which it is hoped to bring about these relations. It provides: “A government is to be constituted In Mexico of a character to be later provided, which shall be recognized by the United States on (date to be fixed) and which from that day forward shall exercise public functions until there shall be inaugurated a < onstitutional president." Just another victory for President Wilson, who does things and does them in the right way. Little wonder the people are for him notwithstanding the abuse and vilification heaped on him by republican politicans and press. Two or three children’s play grounds
