A Senate Conception of Statesman
ship.

For fine specimen of petty politics
commend us to the program OF the
senate not to dispose Of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty until Dec. II. The
lofty purpose Of this postponement Of
the question into the regular session is
to teach the president a lesson-the
lesson being that he is not "the whole
thing" In this way the senate hopes
to get even with the president for
calling the extra session. This is the
senate's conception of craftsmanship.
The senate is mad because the presf-
dent has persistently kept at the job
of bringing about reciprocity with
Cuba, and is, at last, about to sue
coed. But just to be mean the senate
wants to drop a fly in the ointment.
If President Roosevelt ever had any
false notions as to the power and in
| fluence of the presidential office he
must have been disillusioned many
months ago by this same Cuban reci-
procity question. President Mckinley
warmly supported reciprocity wi Y,
Cuba and President Roosevelt has
never let up on his pressure on con-
gress in favor Of the same measure,
and yeti has taken three years for
congress make up it's mind. Ger
tainly that is long enough ITO prove
that congress can do what it pleases
without taking three weeks more to
! prove the same thing.

BIG ALCOHOL CON-
SUMPTION

The population of the five departments
of Normandy IS 10000 less than it was
thirty years ago, and the decrease is at
tributsd wholly to the excessive use of
alcohol. M. Debove. the dean of the Paris
Faculty of Medicine. shows how alcohol
operates in two directions toward tho
dirninution Of the popula tion-by raising
the average OF mortality and by weaken
ing the vitality of the majority that sur
yive. There are places in Normandy
where the consumption Of brandy is more
than a quart per day per head Of the
adult population. Alcoholism is said to
have got firm hold on large part of the
female population. In the fairly tenn
perate" canton of Tourouve the average
weekly consumption of raw spirits Is a
little over three and a half quarts for each
male adult and about two quarts for
grown up women and young children.

Canadian Reciprocity as a Demo
cratic Issue.

Our Washington correspondent is
of the opinion that the democratic
party intends to make reciprocity
with Canada one of it's cardinal OBJ
jects.
4 We may be wrong, but we fancy
that we see in this sudden interest of
the democrats in reciprocity with
Canada the work of Congressman
John Lind Of this district. He is an
enthusiastic advocate of. reciprocity
with Canada, and has no doubt inn
pressed the democratic leader in the
house with the depth and earnestness
of feeling in the northern states in
favor Of such reciprocity. At any rate,
the action of Mr.. Williams, leader Of
the house democrats, in proposing
last Thursday resolution in favor
of reciprocity with Canada is very
significant of a desire to get the rec
ord on this issue. The resolution was
doubtless intended to compel the re-
publicans to show their hand. It
was as follows:
That the house of representatives would

the United States toward reconvening

Great Britain. the Dominion of Canada
and the United States for the purpose OF
considering and agreeing upon freer and
more amicable trade relations between the
United States and the Dominion of Can
ada
That seems to establish the posi-
ton of the democrats, and it GER
talniy tends to put the republicans in
the hole, for the resolution pledges
support to the president in an at
tempt to bring about reciprocity with
Canada, thus making it possible for
such a treaty to be arranged without
| drawing partizan lines.
Mr.. Williams seems to be a rea
leader.
