IN THE SENATE.
Legislation Will Be Confined to Gu
ban Treaty and Possibly

Legislation Will Be Confined to Gu
ban Treaty and Possibly Panama.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-It is the
intention of the senate leaders to con-
fine as closely as possible the legisla-
ton of the present extra session to the
bill to carry into effect the Cuban trea-
ty, and with that end in view the daily
sessions of the senate during the pres
ent week will be brief. and another ad-
journment will be taken on Thursday
or Friday until the following Monday.
The work of introducing bills II of
presenting petitions will so forward,
but with the exception of the Cuban
bill neither bills nor petitions will be
taken up in committee nor discussed in
the senate during the week.
1t is quite well understood that Sena-
tor Morgan is prepared for a prolonged
discussion of the situation on the 18TH
mus of Panama, but while he seems
not to have taken any IL into his con-
idence the general supposition is that
he will defer his speeches until the new
canal treaty shall be sen to the senate.
There is an understanding on the part
of senator's that even though the nego-
tiations for the new convention be
forthwith completed 1t will not be
transmitted to the senate until the be-
ginning of the regular session of con-
gress in December.
1t is expected that the Cuban bill will
be received from the house OF Friday,
and it is probable that n session will be
held on that day in order that the bill
may be referred to the committee on
foreign relations, which will begin its
consideration at once.
The committee on military affairs
will meet during the week to consider
the nomination of General Wood, and
as soon as practicable after the COM
nsittee reports on it the question of
confirmation will be brought before the
senate in executive session in consider
alton of other nominations.

Most housekeepers are accustomed TO
freshen salads and other vegetables by
soaking in cold water, but not every
one knows that most fruits are vastly

manner. Pears, peaches and like thin

Limitations Under Which Canal Pro-

Boston Herold.
An illustration of the short-sighted man.
ner in which great public questions are fire.
quently considered in this country is given
in the efforts that certain members of Con-
gress have recently made to cut down to
very narrow limits the compensation to
be given to those who are to have charge of
the work of constructing the proposed 18TH
milan canal. This is an enterprise which
will cost, approximately, $50, 100000 and, If
errors of judgment occur. may involve the
nation in an outgo of many millions of dol
lars in excess of this sum. If corporation
were undertaking this work, II would place
1t in charge of the most competent men that
it could find, almost regardless of the SAL
aries that ii had to pay to procure the serv-
ices of such persons, and such an expendi-
ture would be true economy, for If the right
men were employed, at compensation of
$4,000 or 100000 d year. their cost might
rightly be considered an insurance fund
paid to protect those financially responsible
for the work from having to meet an enor-
mously greater outgo caused by the blum
ders of less efficient men. But some of our
congressman, and apparently those who
have been most insistent on the adoption Of
the pay given shall not exceed that of which
congressman are in receipt, and those
who accept this position must constantly
time of construction, or at least during their
term of service. In a word. 1T is the intent
of these gentlemen to make it impossible
for the government to procure the admins
trative services of men whom a great en-
ployer would retain because of the excep-
tional value of the assistance they could
give him. Does anyone suppose that Mr..
Carnegie could have built up his great iron
and steel plan or that Mr.. Morgan could
have successfully carried through his vari-
Gus Industrial projects IL either had adopted
this picayune policy? Is 1t not, on the con-
trary, almost certain that the outcome un-
der such circumstances would have been
disastrous failure; and why can one expect
that conditions are in work any more ia
vorably for the United States government?
True economy, and therefore true policy.
would consist in obtaining for the work the
best possible supervisors no matter what in
reason had to be paid for their services,
and. having secured such men, the proper
course of procedure would be to let them
arrange their methods of carrying on work,
and not have these dictated to them by men
in Washington having little or no knowl-
edge of the subject.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Senator CullOm's PIans-Presfdent
Roosevelt Confident.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Senator Cullom,
chairman of the committee on foreign rela-
tions, had a conference with the President
to-day concerning the Cuban reciprocity
treaty. 1t is his purpose to have meeting
of the committee on Wednesday to con-
slider the treaty. He hopes that it may be
reported from the committee to the Senate
the latter part of this week or first of next
and as soon as possible afterward he VIII
move for its consideration by the Senate.
Senator Cullom believes that, while some
opposition to the treaty has developed, 1t
will be ratified. Senators Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, and Foraker, of Ohio, also had in
terviews with the President, during which
the status of the Cuban treaty was dis
cussed briefly. Both senators are confident
the treaty will be ratified.
success of the treaty has not been shaken
in the least by the rumors OF opposition.
In fact, during the past few days he mas
received assurances from some of those
senators who last spring opposed the Cuban
legislation that they would support the
treaty. 1t is understood also that many
of the beetssugar men have withdrawn
their opposition to the treaty. This action
they have indicated to the President and to
senators who stood with them last spring
in the fight against the proposed Cuban
legislation.

Proposed Board to Investigate Frauds
I'm This Line.

Philadelphia Record.
The suggestion of law to prevent fraud
ulent and offensive advertising in the news
papers of this country may be traced to the
policy adopted in Germany. where even ex-
travagance of statement in business an
nouncements is prohibited. 1t does not meet
the views of the experienced advertisers
who constitute the Sphinx Club, of New
York. There are valid objections to any un-
necessary multiplication Of the statutes. 1t
lature to interfere with concerns which can
be more surely and effectively regulated by
other means. One bad effect of demanding
a law to cure every evil Is that people come
at last to rely on the Legislature, and so
themselves neglect what they alone can do.
Laws do not enforce themselves, and the
agents of the law have stronger motives to
ignore than to enforce certain statutes.
Even where there is no direct bribery, indo-
lence or political influence will often re-
strain the officials. When men have in
duced a legislative body to enact law
they seem to think that is all that is
needed.
lent financial schemes have been promoted,
to the loss of enormous sums by innocent
investors, through newspaper advertise
ments. In one case, at least, the announce
the suspicious of the newspapers. To OBJ
tain evidence strong enough TO obtain an
indictment on might have been impossible
In the early stages of the operations. yet
it was desirable to exclude the advertise
ments from newspapers of good character.
1t is obvious that no law against improper
advertising could have been of any use.
What the Sphinx Club proposes, in the in
terest Of honest advertising, Is to appoint
a committee of experts to investigate all
advertising which is not distinctly honest
and to report to the newspapers. Most
reputable newspaper publishers will VOL
unfairly reject any advertisement which
may be intended to promote a swindle and
it is in the power of the club to compel any
other publisher to bar out fraudulent lads
by making such rejection a condition of the
advertising of the members, which is ex-
tensive. 1t is not always practicable fol
publishers to determine whether enter.
prise is honest, but the experts appointed
by the advertisers may have the means tC
get at the truth.
To leave all such questions the &C.
curacy and sincerity of a business an
nouncment to the regular agents of the
law would result either in the needless an
noyance and restraint of legitimate en-
terprise or in complete neglect of the law
