We can do so now that you furnish us
complete and accurate accounts of events
The function of a newspaper IL was de-
clared was above all to furnish news.
The daily press itself by no means gave
up its endeavor to mold public opinion, but
in the selection OF its own offices IL had to
acknowledge that the editorial page was
not its best tool. The leaders might amuse,
or give occupation and anxiety to the
owner of the paper: they might provoke
comment and reply on editorial pages: but
they were not read by the masses of the

editorial opinion with his news, and is apt
TO accept both as gospel truth. whereas one
is as likely the other to be the product
of the creative Imagination.
Now we have in our papers absolutely all
the news. all that's fit to print according
to the New York Times. and all that's un-

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Amendments That Will he Submitted
to the senate This Week.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The amend
ments to the arbitration treaty, which
probably will be reported to the Senate
next week by the committee foreign re-
lations and which have been practically
agreed to. will be somewhat different from
those previously submitted by the commit
tee. The Turpie amendment, which is of
general scope, will be adhered to, and
others will be added which will somewhat
harmonic the entire document with this
change The Turpie provision is added to
the first article OF the treaty, and il recog-
nZeS in words the Senate as a part of the
treaty-making power of the United States,
requiring the President to submit to the
Senate his formulation of any claim that
he may desire to submit to arbitration UNI
der the treaty. Another important amend
ment, which also looks to the recognition of
the Senate'S prerogatives, which almost
beyond doubt will be submitted 10 the Sem
United States Supreme Court a fixed
tribunal of arbitration. The provisions for
members of the court TO act as arbitratorS
will be so modified as TO require the PreSi-
dent to appoint and the Senate to confirm
the members of the tribunal. The portion
of the treaty providing for the appointment
of the King of Sweden and Norway as
umpire will be eliminated the majority of
the committee considering that no umpire
will be necessary. The majority of the
committee hope to complete the considera-
ton of the treaty in committee at the Mon
day meeting. and in the event of their sue
cess an opportunity will be sought to re-
. port To the Senate resolution favorable to
ratification with the amendments outlined
