1t is u constitutional function and part
of the duty of the United States Senate TO
ratify treaties between the United States
and foreign governments. This implies care
full scrutiny of their provisions. both as to
what they contain and what they omit, and
such scrutiny the Senate should make i'm
a fearless, independent and patriotic spirit.
But this should be the limit of its action.
1t has no right to reject a treaty on par
tisan or personal grounds or from vindic-
tive motives towards the executive branch
of the government. These principles are ap-
plicable to the arbitration treaty. If it is
defective in any essential respect it should
be amended. but senators who oppose it
for partisan, factional or personal reasons
will not be able to justify themselves be-
fore the country.

The national House of Representatives
passed. with almost no debate and without
a dissenting vote. the bill introduced by
Mr.. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, providing
that national banks may be organized in
towns having not more than 1900 inhabit-
ants, with a capital of $50. 900. If the bill
passes the Senate. as 1t should, it will in
crease the banking facilities of some parts
of the South and West where they are now
deficient. 1t was favorably reported by the
committee on banking and currency in a
report which called attention to the fact
that under existing law there has been
great inequality in the distribution of ma
tional banks and the benefits to be derived
from such institutions. In the Eastern and
Middle States, the report says, banks are
abundant and the alteration I'm the law
will not be availed of to any great extent.
But in the Western and Southern States
there is a dearth of banks in many Sec
tions. due to the lack of capital. This is
not because the national bank law favors
monopolies or anything of that sort, but
because the limit of capital stock has been
too high for small towns. The passage
of the Brosius bill would extend the benefit
of national banks to many communities
tina have not had them heretofore.

1t is evident that the of which
Senator Holler is chairman has made an
intelligent investigation of the prison
problem. That it has discovered that the
putting of convicts at work on the roads
is not feasible shows that the committee
has considered the question thoroughly and
has come to the same conclusion that all
other intelligent investigators have
reached. 1t is simply impract1cable. What
the committee says about a is
necessary to create another institution at a
large outlay at the outset and a constantly
increasing expenditure? The State has two
prisons now. The grounds are ample. even
II the locations are not so favorable as
they migh be. Creating a reformatory
will not or should not increase the number
of convicts. When the 115 federal convicts
shall be sent to the federal prison in Leav-
enworth. Kan, as they should be, and as
the recommends, there will GER
tainly be room enough when a reasonable
expenditure shall have been made in ex-
tending and improving the present prisons.
Should the ndeterminate theory of SEN
tence be adopted, there will be a further re-
duction of the prison population. Taking
these matters into consideration, there
seems no reason why the State should be
put to the large expense incident to estab-
fishing a third prison for a reformatory.
