THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

A few weeks ago national arbitration associa-
ton was formed in Washington to promote an ar
bration treaty between the United States and Great
Britain The meeting to form this association was
attended by large number of prominent men. The
leading address was delivered by Cardinal Gibbons,
who warmly and eloquently approved such treaty,
as in the interests of peace and civilization. His ar
gument covered the whole field of common interests
and common language and pointed out the joint con-
trbution of Great Britain and the United States to
the worlds store of science and art civilization and
progress says the Call.
The movement was evidently backed by the best
thought of the country and is intended to proceed
from the people onward until it mpresses the gov
ernment. Great Britain is the only European power
with possessions in this hemisphere that are in contact
with us. Already this has resulted in issues such as
Berng sea- the northeastern fisheries and the Alas
kan boundary that have been peacefully settled by
arbitration. Both countries perceving the benefit
of this method should seek to avoid friction over each
question that arises by general arbitration treaty,
under which an orderly settlement may be had
With men like Cardinal Gibbons, Jacob Dickerson.
General Miles, Bishop Potter Archbishop Ireland,
Judge Gray, Edward Everett Hale and others of
equal influence and dignity and of all parties and re-
ligious denominations, promoting such treaty, it
is to be regretted that constant note of opposition
and of bitter antagonism is heard, caused by pre-
judice that had its radix in long past events to which
this country was not party This opposition sue
eeeded in defeating such treaty few years ago,
but when eminent churchmen of Irish blood like
Cardinal Gibbons stated the grounds for the treaty
from their status as Americans only, and from the
standpoint of humanity it was hoped that none
would oppose it.
During the coming campaign there NAV he no
time to promote this movement but it is to be hoped
that next year public opinion on the subject will be
made known to the government in such positive form
that the initial steps will be taken by the two govern
ments to bring it about.
One statement of the opposition is conspieuously
erroneous This is to the effect that an arbitration
treaty violates the avdice of Washington 5 farewell
address against entanglin galliances An arbitration
treaty is not treaty of alliance 1t is simply an in
ternationa agreement that disputes shall be sub
Jected to peaceful settlement first before submitting
them to the cruel arbitrament of war

THE ALICE ROOSEVELT INCIDENT.

President Roosevelt was undoubtedly mortified
that his daughter, Alice should engage in betting on
public race track, and we may assume was some
what angered that an oficious camera fend should
photograph the young lady as she was in the act of
placing bet with one of the commissioners saws the
Telegram. The facts of both modification and an
ger are manifest in the further report of the incident
to the effect that Miss Alice was the recipient of
serious lecture and immediate steps were taken which
resulted IN the efectua suppression of the pictures
1t is to be accepted as of the burdens of great
ness that neither president nor members of his
family may, in their everyday life step outside the
Strictest limitations of propriety even though the
departure be one of an innocent character, without
being subjected to the close scrutiny of the public
eye and becoming more or less subject to comment
OF disagreeable if not unfavorable sort
In connection with this betting incident there are
two features disclosed that are regrettable In the
first place. reprehensbe is the vulgar curiosity of the
public which prompted the photographer to take al
snap shot at Miss Roosevelt, not because she was do
ing anything that hundreds of other ladies were do
ing without the slightest impropriety, but because
she was the presidents daughter, and was doing
what straight-laced Mrs Grundy says presidents
daughters should not do The other feature is thatI
there has been brought to public notice an apparent
infraction of parental discipline in the Roosevelt
family with which the public should have absolutely
no concern. Boys and girls who are the sons andI
daughters Of presidents very nearly the same as

IT COMPARES UNFAVORABLY
VOLUME OF TRADE rs NOT SO
LARGE AS LAST YEAR.
Dun and Bradstreet Review the Bust
ness Situation as It APP
pears to Them.

New York, April 2.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Much deferred eastern business was
transacted during the last few days,
and some sections report satisfactory
results, but at many points the weather
is not yet normal, and, on the whole,
the seasons trade thus far compares
unfavorably with last years volume.
Manufacturing returns continue con-
ficting, iron and steel plants gaining
ground, footwear exhibiting the natural
reaction from an unprecedented pro-
duction in 1908, while textile mills
have much idle machinery and little
forward business to encourage opera
ton. Lumber. and building materials
are in better demand, although floods
at the west and labor troubles at the
east retarded structural work to some
extent At Baltimore the general sit
uation is satisfactory, despite the fact
that rebuilding of the devastated dis
trict is hampered by efforts to secure
legislative enactments regarding the
arrangements of streets. Transporta-
ton is still interrupted by scarcity OF
cars, although in the coke region there
is less congestion, and railway earn
ings thus far reported for March are
but IL per cent smaller than last year.
Agricultural prospects are unchanged,
better weather conditions at some
points being Offset by less favorable
news from other regions and the price
situation is extremely irregular. Fur
Their progress in the right direction is
reported in the iron and steel industry.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are POS, against 226
last week, 229 the preceding week, and
173 the corresponding week last year
Failures in Canada number 16 against
Is last week, q the preceding week and
IS last year"
Bradstreet's says: Low tempera.
lures and heavy rains, bad roads and
| foods, the latter in the Ohio and trib.
utary valleys, have checked spring
trade, delayed collections, discouraged
Easter demand, and closed a three
months period of rather backward
business in the north, east and west
| There are some redeeming features
however. Agricultural implement mel

Women are more often afflicted
with kidney disorders than men, bur
attribute the symptoms to diseases
peculiar to their sex, while in reality
the kidneys are deranged. Nervous

signs of kidney trouble that must not
