WILL. TRY FOR 1T AGAIN.

The new movement for the promo
ton of the negotiation Of treaty OF
arbitration between the United States
and Great Britain has been stimu-
lated by the movement of the latter
power and France to refer disputes to
arbitration. The Hague tribunal would
seem to offer every facility for the
disentangling of international knots;
but there is a prevalent idea that such
special agreements OF two powers
makes the reference of disputes to ar
bitration more likely.
The defeat of the Anglo American
arbitration treaty in the senate a few
years ago, greatly discouraged the
friends of international arbitration, es-
pecialIy as it was proposed to apply
the principle to the two great English
speaking nations. That treaty receiv-
ed large and influential Endorsement
but it did not receive the requisite
| two thirds constitutional majority
| There were senators who were toe
timid TO brave the opposition of the
considerable Anglophobe element in
this country, which is VIGOROUSLY I'M
reasonable; too timid to face the
diotic talk of British gold alleged
to be ready for introduction into sena-
tors pockets, to insure a large vote
| for the treaty.

{ Americans who do not like Englishmer
and say so, and, although there are

BRYAN IN ENGLAND.
eastern exchange says:

An eastern exchange says:
Richard Croker met William J. Bry
an in London, last week, and strongly
urged the great cOmmoner to consent
to third nomination for the presi-
dency. When Mr.. Bryan suggested
other men for the standard bearer, he
refused to consider them for a mo-
ment, and insisted that Mr.. Bryan had
an influence with his party possessed
by no other man, and he was willing
to stake his reputation as a political
prophet that Mr.. Bryan, if nominated,
would this time win.
1t NOW appears that it was Mr..
Bryan's principal object. in visiting
England, to enlist Mr.. Cookers in
huence for another candidate, whom
that gentleman unceremoniOusly re-
fused to consider as an available can
didate.
Mr.. Bryan's reception in England
was probably the NOSE complimentary
| of any private citizen who ever visited
| that continent. 1t was hardly over
Swallowed by the reception of Grant,
although his visit was heralded with
al 1.-The prestige of military and civic
! grandeur,
| Ambassador Choate gave a dinner
| party in his honor, at which the gifted
| American held his own in discussion
with the leading statesmen of Great
Britain, Balfour, Sir Clinton Dawkins
and representatives of protection, free
| trade, bimetalism, and monometalism
with all of whom Mr.. Bryan created a
| favorable impression by his frank
| ness, candOr and the intelligent
opinions expressed.
| Mr.. Bryan's speech before the Ma
| tional Liberal club, an English society
| and nearly all to the manor born, ev-
erybody appeared to appreciate. His
clear insight in political matters, anC
his happy mode of expressing his views
| on practical matters, were the subject
Of comment. At the American sOcie-
tvs banquet, he made a profound i'm
preston. No other speaker had ever
ELECTED the attention or applause from
lany social function of that organiza-
ton.

This is not altogether because Brit
ain is our largest customer, and lib
orally invests money in enterprises OF
various kinds in the United States
but because the social relations of the
two countries have been made, by
steam and electricity, increasingly
closer. Even the peculiar phrases in
use in this country are found to be
largely derived from old English
speech peculiarities. AS general
| thing, the English language is more
properly and accurately spoken in this
country than in England. Many
words, of course, are vernacular only
| the United States and have been in
troduced by manifold foreign immi-
grafton and appropriated.
1t is noticeable, too, that throughout
| the greater portion of this country, the
principles of English judicature anG
the procedure of the courts in England
have been authUritatively adopted. Al
the American bar, the opinions OF
English judges of note are appealed
while the decisions of our federal SUI
preme court and other judicial tri-
bunals have weight in England
In literature, there is a liberal ex-
change. There was a time when
the question Who reads an American
book?" asked by Sydney Smith, met
with limited response. Today Ameri-
can books are read in England an
nually by the hundreds of thousands
Blood relationship is a bond between
the countries. 1t is rare to find an
American family of English descent
which is not tenacious and informed
of the line of descent The intermar-
riages of the people of the two ma
tons have been increasingly frequent.
and, if the money inducement on one
hand, and the title inducement on the
other hand, have been very often the
dominant procuring cause, the inter-
national social bond becomes stronger
nevertheless.
There is no proposition seriously
presented to form a defensive and of
fensive alliance with Great Britain.
That is not necessary. An arbitra-
ton treaty is nearer a necessity. 1t
should be positively understood that
disputes between the two nations will
surely be settled by peaceful arbitra-
ton. Such is the noble object of the
present movement.

WHATcOM BANK WRECKER WILL
APPEAL HIS CASE TO
HIGHER COURT.
Claims His Sentence Is Unjust and
He May Have to Suffer for
Others Crimes.

ST John Dix, the bank Wrecker, will
not probably come to the Walla Walla
penitentiary at present. According to
his own announcement he will appeal
his case to the United States supreme
court. Dix stands convicted of lOOting
two banks in Whatcom county, the
state supreme court having upheld the
decision of the lower court. Dix said
to a newspaper reporter at WhatcOm
who called on him in the county Jail:
The experts whom the committee
of depositors set to work upon the
books of the bank have made a report
which shows that of the $4,000 | was
convicted of embeZZling, | really got
less than $4,000, and that was money
borrowed by me from the bank before
became interested in it. The SEN
tence is unjust and l am to be made
to suffer for the crimes of others, say
the courts of the state. But before
do the supreme court of the United
States must say So Federal Ques-
tons of moment are involved in the
eXtradition proceedings by which l
was returned to this country"
ST. John Dix was appalled, when the

The fact that President Roosevelt
devoted large part of his annual
message to naturalization frauds gives
little hope that he will readily pardon
any man convicted of the crime which
he so Vehemenuy condemns. 1t is
made plain by the message that the
administration was responsible for the
investigation of such frauds through
out the country and that the depart
ment of justice has been instructed to
'1et no guilty man escape" 1t is high
ly improbable, therefore, that the pres
ident will nulIify the work of reform
so far accomplished by issuing par
dons to convicted offenders, even to
please any United States senator
whose political machine has aided and
abetted such violations of the natur-
alization laws.

This is all good party doctrine
brother, but does it not seem some
what out of place in Levi Ankenys
organ? The people of this state have
not forgotten that at the republican
state convention in September, 1902,
a majority of about thirty delegates
declared in favor of an appointlve rail-
way commission as urged by Governor
Mcbride. After the defeat of the Ank-
eny- Grosscup-S Stevenson faction Mr..
Ankenv arose and moved that the
action of the convention be made
unanimous, thus bowling gracefully to
majority rule. But he didn't mean
word of it. A few weeks before the
election he gave out an interview at
Spokane in which he utterly repudiat-
ed the commission plank of the state
platform and declared that. it was not
binding on any republican candidate
for the legislature. When the leg1s-
lature assembled the members favor
able to Mr.. Ankeny's senatorial candi-
dacy were induced to ignore the pledge
of the state platform and in many in
stances to violate the instructions of
county or district conventions regard
ing railway commission in order to
secure the support of the railroad
lobby for Ankeny.
In the light of these irrefutable
facts Mr.. Ankeny's paper displays
monumental gall in preaching loyalty
to the will of the majority. 1t places
Mr.. Ankeny in the same place as
Shakespeare's preacher who points
out the steep and thorny path to heaV-
en-. but recks not his own rede.'' II
Ankeny would teach party loyalty he
should travel that way himself once
in a while. The most fragrant viola
ton of party platforms and personal
pledges ever witnessed in this state
was that perpetrated by himself in the
last campaign and by most of his
supporters in the last legislature.
However, good republicans will per-
haps rejoice to see that Mr.. Ankeny
has seen the error of his ways and
is showing signs of repentance. While
the lamp holds out to burn the Vilest
sinner may return" and now if Levi
will bring forth fruits meet for re-
Dentance" all may be forgiven. To
prove a contrite spirit he should cease
all opposition to Governor Mcbride
and ioin with him in the fight for
proper regulation and just taxation of
railroads and other corporations, in
GLIDING national banks. He should
escheW all his questionable assOcla-
tons with such lobbyists as George
Stevenson cease all Discrimination and
come out sQuarely for the nomination
of Governor Mcbride next June on
railway commission platform. Per-
hapS the editorial in the Union on the
virtue of party loyalty is the first step
in such a change of policy.
1t would indicate that Levi has got
as far as the mourners' bench and
that he may yet be able to Outwrestle
the railroad lobby and burst the bonds
that have bound him to the powers of
evil. While there is life there is hope,
and that the Levites may yet be saved
and have their dirty political linen
washed as white as snow let us ever
pray. Meanwhile Frink and Mcbride
will keep a suspicious eye on Levi.

SIGNS OF REPENTANCE.

Senator Ankeny's paper, says
A west side newspaper holds to
the opinion that a man has the
right to go to the polls and vote
against a man he helped to nomi-
nate in a convention. 1t terms
this an 'iconoclastic notion" 1t
is certainly we'll named. The
principle is not new one. but 1t
is certainly a bad one. No man
has ever yet been able to justify
such action. If he wishes to eXer-
else his personal judgment against
the decision of the majority he
has no right to participate III a
political convention. If he is not
willing to abide by the wish of
the majority he should decline to
be a party to the deliberation al
together. When he has done so he
may then with some propriety
claim the rights of an independ-
ent voter. but not otherwise. A
man who sets Up his own Judg-
ment against the decision of his
party says by that action he is
greater man than his party. No
other deduction can by any rea-
asonable construction be consid-
cred. 1t is an implied obligation
which he assumes when he goes
into the primary or convention to
abide by the will of the majority
and he is morally bound to do So
especially as to supporting the
nominees. The principle which is
advanced that every man has a
perfect right to do as he pleaseS,
in the matter of bowling to the
rule of the majority, if carried to
its logical and complete conclusion,
might just as reasonably include
the result at the polls. Would it
not be in line with this idea to
refuse to allow the result Of the
election to stand? If this were
done how long would it be until
anarchy would be the result?
Shades of Frink!
wouldn't that jar you?
