NATIONS SHOCKEDBYW WARS HORRORS
Sir Thomas barclay, Prominent Eng
lish worker For Peace, Gives
HIS Views of Present
n Conditions.

LONDON, Dec. I'm discussing the
prospect of the Anglo-American arbi-
tration treaty Sir Thomas Barclay, who
has been prominently identified with
the work Of promoting amity between
nations, has stated as follows:
ut Is quite possible that the treaty
under consideration will be more far
reaching than the Anglo-French trea-
ty. The treaty of 1897 provided for the
settlement of ali, difficulties between
Great Britain AND the United States
'N4 80 &s.It =
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-12-07

without exception by arbitration. II
need hardly be expected that the new
treaty will be in exactly the same
terms as that signed by the late Lord
Pauncefote and Secretary Olney, but
it is most desirable that q treaty be
tween peoples speaking the same Ian
guage and having practically the same
form of procedure should go a step
further than the Anglo-French treaty.
A good loan from the treaty of 1897
would be the clause providing that If
one of the parties raises the objection
that national honor or vital interest is
inyalved the arnltratoss SHOULD consist
of an equaf number OF the nationality
of the parties involved and that IL the
decision Isl given by a bare majority it
should become final If not protested
within three months. The reference to
arbitration Of the Alaskan question
showed that some such clause is quite
workable.
''The treaty of 1897 was defeated by
twenty-sixs senators, many of whom
were influenced by Michael Davitt to
believe that such a treaty would delay
the solution of home rule for ireland.
Today no one can possibly couple the
question of home rule with the ques-
ton of adopting peaceful, b%usinesslike
methods for dealing with international
difficulties. If the majority of the
United States senate should thwart the
progress of arbitration today, when the
minds of all men are shocked by the
horrors of the war in the far east and
when all realize how indispensable it Is
to promote pacific methods of settle
ment of difficulties between nations,
there would be an cutlery throughout
the world, and the senate would be dis
graced in the eyes of all mankind. l.
know positively that several senators
who voted against the treaty of 1897
win now vote for the treaty of arbitra-
tion: l would~citer the case of Senator
Morgan Of Alabama, who told me he
had altered his views since 1897. l am
perfectly sure that Senators Money,
and Bacon are now good friends of the
treaty. 4 u 4s4 ~

that State, says that he feels there is
going to be a Democratic landslide
this year, and that the Democrats will
elect not only their Presidential tick
ct, but also the House of Represen-

POLITICS AND BUSINESS.

| AT the beginning of every presiden-
deplore the fact that the agitation for
a change in the control of govern
ment works injury to business. No
sooner had the strike begun in the
meat trust business at Chicago than
some of the thick-and- thin Republi-
can organs said it was due to the
decentralization in business caused by
the presidential campaign. OF course
it had nothing to do with it. being
due solely to desire of the employees
to get better wages now that the trust
has increased the price of meat and
beef
symposium of views from leading
men appeared in Sunday paper in
which most of them said there was no
real reason for business depression
significant that several favor longer
term. Henry Clews concludes his
statement by saying:
'It is SO unnecessary, this upheaval
every four years, that | personally
strongly favor the frightening of the
Presidents term of office. 1t might
be made six years instead of four
it seems to me, with great benefit to
business at large.
Here is the view of United States
Senator Depew:
Unfortunately it is no mere theory
that the general business and pros
perity of the country are disturbed
during Presidential campaigns. The
fact has become emphasized to such
degree that there is today a wide
spread and growing sentiment in ia
vor of extending the term of the Pres
idency from four to six years and
making the President ineligible for
reelection.
81 am in favor of such extension
/ believe it would be good thing
for the country in every way. If
the term were heightened, there
would be fewer chances by half for
industrial interferences. Moreover, if
the President were not allowed to sue
coed himself, there would not be so
much effort expended in obtaining a
reelection. That, in turn, would
mean a more profitable application of
the Presidents attention to the duties
of the Office
Though there is no sufficient reason
for business depression during the
Presidential election year, it is made
the excuse for speculative concerns
to "liquidate" and that often frightens
legitimate business interests. 1t
would not be bad idea to lengthen
the Presidential term to six years
provided no President could hold two
successive terms.

FOR SOCIAL EQUALITY.

a colored correspondent of the
Washington Post predicts that the
Republican ticket in 1908 will be
Theodore Roosevelt and Booker
Washington. The campaign emblem
will be the negro boy and white girl,
standing hand in hand. who enthused
the convention that nominated Roose-
welt.
The writer is Henry S. Baker and
his remarkable communication is as
follows:
'As a colored man / wish to call
attention to the difference between
the Republican and the Democratic
National conventions. AT the RepuS-
lican convention the colored man was
treated as a companion, friend, and
brother. There he was made to feel
as If he were not only political, but
a social equal. The delegates fol-
lowed the advice and example of our
beloved President Theodore Roose-
welt, who teaches that the colored man
deserves to be treated as a social
equal. To emphasize this fact, he
had the courage to have at his table
Prof. Booker T. Washington. If
Roosevelt is elected it will SO encour-
age the colored men that we will de-
mand that Prof. Booker Washington
shall be the Republican candidate for
vice-preSident in 1908.
Let not my colored brethren for
get that scene in the Republican con-
vention when beautiful white girl
was placed upon the stage, and by
her side a negro boy. They then
placed flags in their hands and al
lowed them to lead the cheering, thus
making the first and grandest ex-
ample of the equality of the races
that history records.
I'm the Democratic convention
there was not a single colored man.
1t was in word and in deed a white
mans convention of a white mans
party All hail to Roosevelt, who has
given the poor negro so much to en-
: courage him to persist in his political
and social rights"
The writer has correctly drawn the
difference between the two National
conventions, and his prediction OF
Teddy and Booker in 1904 would be
logically the next step after one tc
repeal laws preventing intermarriage
between the races.

QUITTING UP" FOR PARKER
Democrats Will Have a Fund Ouad-
ripple That Which Was Raised for
Bryan Campaign.
(From the New York Herald.)

| For the first time in twelve wears
Democratic leaders in this city are 90
ing into the National campaign conf
dent that their fund will exceed that
placed at the disposal OF the Republic
cans. Judge Parker's supporters in
the financial and business districts
have taken stock, and according to es-
Inmates they have received they are
confident they will have a fund at least
four times the size of that contributed
toward the election of William j.
Bryan in either 1896 or 1900. The Re-
publicans on the other hand, have
discovered that if they raise a sum
one-half the amount collected by Mark
Hanna in each of the Mckinley cam
paigns they will be doing exceedingly
we'll.
George B. Cortelyou, chairman of
the Republican National committee
realized this fact after going over the
situation with Cornelius n. Bliss, the
treasurer of the National committee
yesterday. r. Sheldon will assist Mr.
Bliss in raising funds.
Mr.. Cortelyou's unexpected visit to
the President yesterday undoubtedly
had a bearing on this situation. Four
years ago Senator Hanna raised a
fund estimated at $6000,000 and about
81, 100000 for the Mckinley campaign
of 1896. This year the estimate is
placed at about $2,000,000.
From what these men have learned
already they are determined that
speakers sent out by the Democratic
committee are to spend most of their
time in attacking President Roosevelt
making his personality the main issue.
They have taken this cue largely from
the tone of the speeches delivered in
the convention of st. Louis, and from
interviews published since Judge Par
ker'S nomination.
Republicans in Wall street with
whom Mr.. Cortelyou talked made it
plain to him yesterday that the Demo-
cratic Golfers would be filled early in
the campaign and would remain full
until election day. They told him that
at least five groups of financiers in
1.-The street." who worked openly to
prevent the Democratic campaign
managers in 1896 and 1900 from OBJ
tanning funds on account of the cur
rency question would be substantial
contributors this year.
The Bryan campaign fund four
years ago was under the million dollar
mark. The amount of the fund this
year is placed by Republican leaders
at between $3,500000 and 100000 600.
They say that the three groups with
which August Belmont Thomas f.
Ryan and Henry G.. Davis are associat-
ed Will be able to raise a large percent
age of this sum alone.
Mr.. Cortelyou has been giving some
attention to the candidate for governor
of New York State on the Republican
ticket this fall. Republicans of more
CT less Independent proclivities were
yesterday discussing seriously the
name of Nevada n. Stranahan, of Os-
wego county, now collector of this port
for the head of the State ticket.

Votes

1t requires Go5 VOTES 10 VIII. lie
: Democrats have 154 votes upon which
they can rely and need to gain IS votes
from the States that voted for Cleve-
land in 1892. There are plenty of
combinations of States that will give
the desired number. The Democrats
will depend for victory upon the
strength of their position, and will
make appeal to the voters in every
State in the Union to turn over the
government to the hands of q safe
man who will be guided by the con-
stiution and the laws. If that appeal
is needed in the East, it will make
great impression also in the West, and
thus are many causes at work that
would indicate another 1892 tidal
wave toward Democracy.

The Democrats have never failed to
elect their candidate for President
when they carried New York since the
Seymour campaign. The outlook is
excellent for carrying New York, and
the same influence that would give
Parker the electoral vote of New York
would almost certainly operate in 9TH
er State to give him enough votes in
the electoral college to give him the
victory.

(From Late Essay by Tolstoy.)
1t is not given unto man to know,
for his own good, what sort of life
there will be after death, and it is not
necessary to know it, for if people
knew it, and knew that life beyond
the grave would be worse than this
life, they would be more afraid of
death than they now are. If they
knew that life beyond the grave would
be better than this life they would not
concern themselves about this life and
would hasten to die
